Is the noise cancellation mic on my iphone 5s waterproof?

Is the noise cancellation mic on my iphone 5s waterproof? or can water enter my iphone through it? and how else can moisture enter my iphone, coz it's really humid over here. Are there any other openings i should be worried about?

No. There is nothing in an iPhone that's waterproof. If you wish to waterproof it, then buy a case that makes it close to or completely waterproof.
Try not to exceed these conditions:
Operating ambient temperature: 32° to 95° F (0° to 35° C)
Nonoperating temperature: -4° to 113° F (-20° to 45° C)
Relative humidity: 5% to 95% noncondensing
Operating altitude: tested up to 10,000 feet (3000 m)

Noise cancellation mic turn off

Location services can match a registered device to a location, duration, and time of day- but the big brother stuff gets freaky when data is streamed through the mic(s). Is there a way to toggle off the mics when user does not request mic services. Like hardware switch would be nice.
ALSO:
When using a Shure SE115+m, three mics are present in the noise canceling mic array. Sounds great but results are worse than no noise cancellation at all. The same device works fantastic on iphone 3GS. Iphone4 clips the wrong sounds, amplifies the wrong sounds, and does all this without me being able to control this. Get it right if you're deciding for me please....
Other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?...

I don't know of any way to disable the noise cancellation, but I can understand why you would want to do it. Have you tried putting your finger over the noise cancellation mic to be sure that is the problem?
Send your feedback to Apple. This seems like something they could easily add to their next OS update.
Yea, I tried putting my finger over the mic and it doesn't do anything. Would be cool if you could send feedback as well:

Lumia 925 noise cancelling mic problems

I have two problem, questions:
First, I lived in Kuwait and there I bought a Nokia lumia 925 with 12 months Nokia warranty, however I moved back to my home country, is the warranty valid here too?
-the real problem- :
Unfortunately I need it since the noise cancelling Mic does not work on it. The other microphone at the bottom of the phone works great, because during a phone call there is no problem, they hear me.
However I expected today, when I recorded a video and played it back, it was not mute, but it was like the phone would be in water, I only heard strange muffled sounds. I looked after it, I had been cleaning it for an hour: I blew air into the top microphone with a pump, with my mouth... It did not succeed, it got a little bit better, since now that strange sound is more quiet, and when I shout in it , I can hear it.
Anyway it does not even work while I am recording in the OneNote app.
It is not a solution, it is still terrible.
Please help me!

Hi DaGentleman,
Welcome to the Nokia Support Discussions!
Try to use the Nokia Software Recovery Tool and then check if it helps. See this link for more info: Nokia Software Recovery Tool. If that doesn't help, we suggest sending it back to a Nokia Care Point in Kuwait. Try to search it using this link: Nokia Care Point.

Track ID keeps opening when watching a movie using the noise cancelling headset

When I am trying to watch a movie using the noise cancelling headset, the Track ID app keeps opening/starting and tries to identify the "track" I am listening to. I stop the recording and close the Track ID app down but it immediately opens again and this happens multiple times in a row. It stops after 10 or so attemtps and seems ok for a while but will do this again 5-10 minutes later. This also happened when I was listening to a 3rd party app which plays relaxing sounds. It seems to happen more often when there is loud background noise (on the train and someone opened the window), but Track ID has opened with out me starting it with very littel background noise... It is very annoying when you are trying to watch a movie or downloaded TV show etc.

Trying to turn on the noise canceling for iphone 5c

I am having trouble with my hand free system in my CRV and I was told there is a noise canceling selection in the settings but I am not seeing it. I need to turn this feature on so I can reduce the magnified noise coming through my hands free system. I have an iphone 5c

I'm having a problem with echoing, and see where people suggest turning off Noise Cancellation, but that option does not appear in my Settings menu. I go to Settings>General>Accessibility> but there is no Phone Noise Cancellation.
Where is it? Why is it not in my menu?
iphone 5c, ios 8.a.2 (12B440)
Will turning this off stop the echoing I hear of myself when I am talking on a call?

Bose Noise Cancelling Not Compatible with Iphone

This really disappointed me as I am always use to connect my Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones with Ipod , but not able to connect to iphone. I thought the iphone has standard headphone output. I like my Bose headphones when I am traveling in airplane or subways as it really cancels most of the noise.
Please let me know if anyone has any solution.
Thanks

Thank you for your message.
iPhone incorporates a deeply recessed headphone jack that makes it incompatible with most headphones on the market, including Bose. We will soon introduce an adapter that will allow our headphones to be compatible with iPhone. (Belkin, Monster and other accessory companies will also offer generic adapters)

Can I connect the Blue Snowball Mic to my iphone 4 and If I can How do I do it?

Im thinking of buying the Blue snowball mic, it sounds like a really good quality except im not sure if it would work well with the iphone 4. I seen a youtube video of a guy using it on his ipad.. Im using this to record a group session with the evernote app. Does anyone own a blue snow ball app and use it with his iphone 4? Or and if not does it or can it work with a Samsung Galaxy Pad?

the headset connector have 3 rings the middle on is mic in you could camabalize a cable and connect a mic directly into the headset
mind you make sure the mic signal you put in is not too powerful vs. the mic in headsets or you could blow something

Iphone 4 during a call can't hear or be heard. But I know both the speakers and the phone call mic work fine.

I bought an iphone 4 and have been having multiple issues since the moment I got it. My biggest issue when I received it was that the noise cancellation mic didn't work. I sent it back to the people I bought it from to fix it and they fixed the other mic but not the noise cancellation mic. So I know that one doesn't work with apps, speaker phone, that sort of thing. I've been just dealing with it and using headphones with a mic on them.
Well once I put my sim card in and had to go through a huge debacle with AT&T to do it, I got a phone call and I couldn't hear anyone and they couldn't hear me. I tried switching it to speaker phone and using my headphones and still nothing. I first tried factory reset and network reset and it didn't do anything. So I tried the fix where you put a piece of cardboard in the phone and the other fix where you loosen and then re-tighten the grounding screw. Now I can hear the other person but only on speaker phone, the call is choppy, but I can hear them so progress! They still couldn't hear me. However, when I took the call off of speaker phone it was back to dead silence. I tried putting in my headphones to see if they could hear me, they still could not hear me even with the headphone mic. I'm not sure what else I can do!! I know the speakers and mic work because I listen to music and play games and I hear those and when recording on voice memo the mic and playback work fine.I also know that it isn't any issue with signal because it happens where ever I am, low signal or all 5 bars! I guess I'll try cleaning them and try putting a thicker piece of cardboard but I don't expect those to work. If you can help with any suggestions at all please let me know! I have been having the worst luck with this phone and i'm getting absolutely fed up.

Hey there RJOBoston,
Take a look the article below, it provides troubleshooting tips that should resolve the issue you’re running into with not being able to hear or be heard on calls.

Noise cancellation microphone

Hi.
Is there anyway to be really sure if the noise cancellation mic is working? I mean, like an app that test the hardware or something like that..
I'm asking this, beacuase, for exaple I tried to make a video with background loud music and me talking at the same time. I was expecting the music to be filtered but that didn't happened. Maybe It's the Camara app that doesn't use the noise cancellation feature, but I'm not sure.
Please, I want some opinions!

"
While most phones have only one microphone, iPhone 4 has two. The main mic, located on the bottom next to the dock connector, is for phone calls, voice commands, and memos. The second mic, built into the top near the headphone jack, is for FaceTime calls and for making your phone calls better. It works with the main mic to suppress unwanted and distracting background sounds, such as music and loud conversations. This dual-mic noise suppression helps make every conversation a quiet one."

It is not state of the art recording/motion picture industry equipment. It simply improves the quality over the one mic.

How can I turn off noise cancellation in the iPhone 5C?

I'm having trouble finding the noise cancellation on this iPhone. I know you're supposed to go into settings, then general, under accessibilty, and it's supposed to be the last option under hearing but it's not there. I'm not sure if I can find it somewhere else or not. I have found it on the iPhone 5S just not on the 5C. It is interfering with my FaceTIme conversations and I'd like to be able to turn it off.

I'm not certain if the 5C has the noise cancellation. If you look at the back of the phone near the camera, do you see a small hole there? I'm wondering since you do not locate the switch in Settings. Also, I'm curious as to how it is interferring with your FaceTime calls. I'm not doubting your word, I would just like to know how it is doing that.

IPhone 5 voice call quality fade in and out. Noise Cancellation interference?

I've been having this huge problem with the iPhone5. The evidence i've collected seems to indicate this is a problem with all iPhone5's.
On calls in certain places both indoors and outdoors, the callers voices over the iPhone5 fade in and out. Their voices occasionally completely fade completely away, and only come back momentarily. The low volume for 50% of the time forces me to raise the volume, but raising the volume does not help because when the voice does come back, the volume is too loud for my ears.
I went back to the Apple store and they are not able to help me. They suggested a clean restore, which I did. They offered to replace the phone, which I did, but it is the same problem.
- iPhone 5 vs. iPhone 4S, the fading does not occur. I make the call to the same voice mail system I have, and the sounds from the other side are consistently the same volume for the 4S, but fades in and out for the 5.
- I connected up a 8mm jack between my iPhone 5 and my mac in an attempt to record this problem. In that instance, the sounds from the voice mail DO NOT fade in and out. I did find out that the dynamic range on the iPhone 5 is MUCH greater than that of the iPhone 4S, for some strange reason.
- When I hold the phone up to my ear, the fading in and out does occur, but it is less noticeable. But it's still there.
- When I leave my work area the problem goes away. However, because the iPhone 4S on the same AT&T service does not have this problem, this leads me to believe it's NOT a lack of transmission power from the AT&T cell tower. Rather, it is a reception issue at the iPhone5 side.
- I turned off LTE, data and then made the calls. Same issue.
I use this phone to make 60 minute calls for conference calls frequently. I cannot use it. Please advise. I am seriously considering returning this phone. Except i've sold my old iPhone 4 already. I'm in a bad place. Please help.
Here's another post of a fellow with the same exact problem.
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1456404
Apple, please look into this. I believe this is a problem with the noise cancellation software.

I've got an update on this problem with fading volume. I've isolated it to the set volume on the phone for voice calls when using headphones. When the headphone volume is set between 1 and 6 (out of 16 squares) the callers volume will consistently fade in and out. The fading which is normal to zero volume at 2-5 Hz is serious enough that normal conversation is impossible. When the volume is raised above 6/16 then the callers voice stabilize and I can hear all their words again. Unfortunately, at 6/16 volume their voices are too loud for the headphones.
Furthermore, when headphones are plugged in, and I initial a call after the iphone5 was idle for several minutes, the first dial tone has preceded by a very loud pop an the tone, as though there was too much pressure (charge) that was dissipated all at once.
Other details:
- I used 3 different earphones, iPhone 4 headphones, altec earphones, an the new iPhone 5 earbuds. Same.
- I turned on and off lte, data, Bluetooth, wifi. Problem persists unaffected.
- when switching to iPhones earpiece and mic, the fading is gone.
- I have 3 out of 5 bars where I teste this, in the city outside and on hwy 5 in central California. Same symptoms in all places I've tested.
- I have exchanged my phone at the apple store. Same issue with both iPhones an I suspect all ipjone5s.
- the ipjone4s does NOT have this problem when the volume is set lower. I can tell that the iPhone 5 must have a new audio filter to make the sounds have larger dynamic range. I liked the 4s better, because it is easier on the ears!

Help needed with HTC One regarding mic problem with noise cancellation

I picked up an HTC One last week, and so far I am loving the phone. Great build quality, screen, sound - all as advertised.
However, there is one very annoying problem I am having. When I am talking to someone, I can gear them great, but they keep telling me I sound muffled or robotic. I performed some tests, and the problem appears to be something with the dual microphones and the HTC One's noise cancellation features.
Here are the tests I ran:
Typical phone call, with holding the phone as I normally do on the sides and to my ear. Call result, pretty muffled voice. I'd give the call quality a 5/10.
Help the phone as I typically do, but covered the mic hole on the back of the phone. This definatelyimproved call quality. Was louder and clearer, but not perfect. I'd rate it at 8/10.
Help the phone towards the bottom, using my hand to kind of cup the bottom directing the sound to the bottom mic. This was a further improvement in sound quality. Rating would be 9/10.
Help phone as normal, but covered the bottom mic hole. Very low volume and muffled sound. Rating a 4/10.
Talked directly into the bottom of the phone into the bottom mic. This gave perfect call quality and volume. Rating a 10/10!
Talked directly into the mic on the back of the phone. Horrible quality, couldn't hear hardly anything. Rating 0/10.
Speaker phone on, held the phone up and moved it around as I would normally use a speaker phone. Call quality was really nice. Id give it 9/10.
Speaker phone on, covered back mic hole and used speaker phone as in #7. Very bad quality, rating 1/10 for call quality.
Speaker phone on, covered bottom mic and help speaker phone in hand. Really good quality, even an improvement over test #7. Would give the call quality a 9.5/10.
Speaker phone on, placed face down on table. Volume a bit low, a little muffled. Call quality 6/10.
Speaker phone on, place face up on table. A bit worse than test #10, low volume and a bit muffled. Call quality is 5/10.
Based on these tests, I know this problem has nothing to do with the network CDMA connection. It is obvious that the noise cancellation features are a bit too aggressive, or I have some hardware problem with one or both mics.
I question wether its really a hardware mic problem, because on non-speaker phone calls, talking directly into the bottom mic gives great quality. And on Speaker phone, covering the bottom mic makes the speaker phone sound really good. That's why I think there's something going on with the "Sense Sound" noise cancellation.
Is anyone else seeing the same issues? I want to be able to hold the phone normal on a non speaker phone call and get good quality.
Looking for any tips and advice anyone can give. Is it worth exchanging for a new one, as I am still in my 14 day window.
Thanks in advance for the help!

Mic issues. - iPhone 5

I seem to have an issue, with the microphone on the handset of the iPhone 5. People hear me, but its very tinny and echoey almost like i am constantly on "Loud Speaker".
Any one having similar issues?

Same problem here. I bought three iPhones for my wife and my two sisters for Christmas. 2 of them have a mic problem. Doesn't matter with or without a cover, the person on the other end complains their voice is very muffled, tinny, or can't here at all. Turning off the noise cancellation helped a little, but we have resorted to using clear tape over the rear mic which appear to solve the problem. Using the right ear also seemed to have an positive effect to for some unknown reason.
One phone was bought in Brunei apple store, the other bought from the online apple store in Australia. The third was also bought online in aus and appears to be ok for now.
I am so ****** off with apple right now. Imagine, a thousand dollar phone, only works properly with clear tape on the back. *** is this, con air or something?
Some other posts indicate it may be a problem related to the build date. Other user claimed their bad phones were built in week 44, 45, 46 and 48. While someone with a replacement phone from week 52 said theirs was ok.
Check your build week here and post,
