My phone is stock, no volume +. Ditto on the "clicking" sound heard on the other end after the phone goes mute. Every time it has happened, it's with the built-in mic.
I'm not trying to get the OP all riled up, but seeing as how there are boo koo (that's a scientific number) of GN's out there, and only 1 thread about it here (given that a few others potentially exist on other forums), I don't know how "widespread" the problem really is. Also, since the OP has seen the same problem on 3 different GN's (I'm sure all of which have his same collection of apps installed), it sounds to me like a app conflict related problem. Which app...who knows?
One way to check this would be to create a dummy gmail account, forward all your real gmail (and share your real calendar) to it (you can even set up the dummy account to say the email you sent from it is from your regular account), factory reset the phone, and sign in ONLY to the new dummy gmail account. The purpose of this would be to NOT download the apps that are associated with your regular gmail account. Then suffer through using the phone like this for a few days, without downloading ANY apps. My guess is that your mic problems will no longer exist. If it works, troubleshooting which app is causing problems by downloading only a few at a time would be a longer process.
This is the sacrifice we make when buying a leading edge phone with leading edge OS software. To me it's well worth it, but can at times be frustrating.
Not the speaker. The regular mic on the phone. You speak and they can't hear you but you hear them perfect. If your returning for that reason, I wouldn't advise it. Just wouldn't want you to get another one and it happens again.

There is at least two more threads on this forum.
I opened this with google FWIW: Issue 23733 - android - phone call outbound audio drops - Android - An Open Handset Alliance Project - Google Project Hosting
The last time it happened I was on Bluetooth and tried switching to the handset and to speaker phone.
Its different than a dropped call....the connection on my side is crystal clear....the call is still going on...just out of the clear blue the other person cant hear you....i can still hear them. Other than the rare occasion this happens to me this the clearest best phone ive had.Running 4.0.2 rooted and I have not had any dropped calls (on my end) or Mic issues. This actually has been the clearest and loudest (volume+) phone I have ever had
Every app I have installed, was installed in all of my Android Devices. When I say widespread, I mean by A Lot of users reporting this issue. Not just 3 people from an app. Rooted or not. Different ROMs. Lots of people. I just never spoke of it before till I Googled it and found threads from different places saying the same thing. No need to make a dummy account. There's obviously a problem. That's what I mean.

I wonder if this could be related to 4g or 3g. If you're experiencing this in a 4g area, you might try switching your phone to 3g only for a day to see if it still exist.
