Mic hole in the glass = lint magnet?

Is it me, or are you also getting lint stuck in microphone hole on the face of the Moto X? I'm curious why Motorola decided to put it there, my old GNEX didn't have a mic there and worked fine.

It was probably something to do with aesthetics. Moto may not have realized that would happen.

yes. this is happening. it gradually builds up. i was looking for a pin to clean it out but then got over it knowing its just going to fill up again. i think they placed it there on purpose for noise cancellation and/or to position the mic closer to the mouth. its not really bothering me anymore.

I concur. I'm a clay sculptor so constantly getting clay in all of the openings at one time or another. I put tape over it, the headphone jack and power jack while I'm at work. Wish there were little rubber plugs that I could insert to keep stuff out of em when I don't have it plugged in.
I will be making those soon
Word to the wise....never stick a pin in the mic hole

I must have really clean pockets.

Old thread, but any recommendations of the best way to clean this out?

Whatever you do don't try a pin or needle. Best thing is light puffs of air or a slight vacuum. Better to pull than to push. I use short puffs of an air nozzle at work. Does the job well
