It’s a frustrating problem that can make it difficult to use the phone on a regular basis.

Turning the phone off and placing it in a porous environment, like on a bed of rice, can help to dry the phone effectively and hopefully get the microphone back to normal.
- Replace the microphone. There are two options for customers who would like to replace the microphone. The first option is to have the microphone replaced by a professional, or do it yourself with parts that can be purchased online.
