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.

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?...

Interesting problem ... at least its good to know that the noise cancellation mic is doing its job :-O
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:

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 cancelling headset problems on xperia z2

Hi! For some reason, my noise cancelling headset that came with the z2 started not to work properly. Anywhere I plug them in, for some reason the right earphone doesn't work if I manipulate it in different ways, and when I get the sound out of the right earphone, the slightest movement will make the right earphone not work again.
If someone had experienced it, if yes, then how do you fix it?
Thanks!

This sounds like a common problem on all headphones in that a wire has become loose or there is a break in the wire - Now you could if you find the break fix it and if it's the connection then possibly a little soldering will fix it

Lumia 925 Black update minor problem

Hello,
Just wanted to send feedback about my update experience.
- I have Lumia 925
- I have developer account and related MS updates already installed
- When installing Lumia Black, installation started normally
- During first reboot my phone got stuck at "goodbye"
- I did soft reset (screen + volume down buttons)
- Phone continued updating normally

Have you updated all your system apps following the update? If not, download and install an app called Lumia System Updater and use it to update all the system apps. See if that helps.

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."

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!

Problem with Nokia Lumia 925

This is what i encountered with my nokia Lumia 925 after 3 days of usage, i am not sure anyone besides me, facing the same problem.
- Overheating, after taking few photos, the phone feel a sudden of heat near the camera.
- Freeze, the phone freeze sometimes, and auto turn off the wifi, when you open it, it says you need to restart the phone, before can turn on the wifi.
- Music + videos apps, when you swipe your music in the apps, the apps freezes, but music still playing. Frustrated when you trying to change tracks.
- Video, i transfer some of my video via windows 8 to the phone, some of it lagging while playing the video. i have try numerous video format, it is still the same. I think it is a software problem. It works fine on my old lumia.
- Auto reboot, my phone has been reboot for 2 times, one time is after a called,another one is after i finish using my wechat application.
Lastly, i love lumia 925, i think the design and the pictures capability are what i really in love with, but i hope someone from nokia could tell me how to solve the above problems.

Hi, Di_vico. Does this mean you are not using the case anymore? Do you have a Lumia 925 as well?
As the concern is present with a case on, try doing the below steps. Let's check if these will correct it.
1. Press and hold the volume down and the power buttons at the same time until you feel a vibration (about 10-15 seconds). Your phone will restart automatically.

2. Check that your device is running the latest software version. Go to Settings > phone update.
