nexus 7 microphone

[Di0g0]

Hi

I bought a nexus yesterday but im having a strange problem. When i make a call on skype and i have the tablet on the portrait mode people hear me perfectly but when i change the tablet to landscape people hear some noise from my mic. Is this normal on this tablet or its a problem on my nexus?

Thanks

It's possible that when you change orientation, you are inadvertently touching one of the two microphone holes. They are located along the curved edge of the back. In portrait mode, one is on the top, about half an inch (13 mm) from the left corner. The other is on the left side, about two inches (50 mm) up from the bottom corner. You might want to try a Bluetooth headset, also.

My Nexus 7 32GB (2012) does the same thing. When in portrait mode, the tablet uses the top mic which works fine, but when in landscape mode it automatically switches to the side mic which produces static noise. You can test yours with Hi-Q MP3 app.
