Hey,

I have a nokia lumia 1520 and Im having trouble making phone calls, people cant hear me talk, Only when I set it to handsfree people can hear me. Im pretty sure it has to do some with the noise cancelling, cancelling out my voice.

any software update to solve this issue?

    I'm having the same problems with the mic since updating to denim so convinced its a software problem. Are there any other software solutions out there short of dumping denim?

    Yeah, this problem is getting annoying. It went away for one day and came right back without any indication as to what caused it. Unfortunately I have an unlocked international 1520 (rm-938) here in the US. Ive already had few folks run into the predicament of Nokia US not wanting to repair their phone because its an international version being used in the US. Nokia/Microsoft, do something! I have tons of Nokia products, but this one has turned me off the most. And impair the most for it out of all my phones.

    Amazing. In the last 10 months have connected my 1520 to over half a dozen bluetooth devices and wired speakers and headsets with absolutely no mic issues whatsoever. I must be incredibly lucky in that respect.

    Hi have the same problem. i have now purchased 6 nokia 1520 phones each of which has failed in the same way. Basically if i ever connect a phone to a bluetooth device the internal mic gets redirected to the bluetooth and after that there is nothing (other getting it replaced) you can do return it to the internal mic. No resetting or firmware changes fix it.

    i have a second fault which is caused if i ever place a mic/headset in the 3.5mm jack socket, again the issue is the loss of the internal mic.

    In both cases the only way to make calls and be heard is to use the hands free speaker mode.

    This issue is reported everywhere, my phones were purchased at different times, from different places in the world, all have failed even when i have not directly connected to a bluetooth headset ie just connecting to another bluetooth device causes it.

    Really had enough of this one, i am a developer on the technical preview platform causing me real issues in writing phone apps
