noise cancellation

[aquaj13]

does the droid have a second microphone for noise cancellation like the nexus?

 

[Geezer Squid]

Yes. I've had people conversations in very noisy environments and can be heard very well.

No it does not.

I don't know if it has any software specifically for noise reduction. But, it really does seem to cut out a lot of background noises. My wife has noticed a much improved quality on her end (meaning MY microphone makes what I'm saying more clear to the person I'm speaking with). ......that's just my experience, as compared to my last phone, a blackberry 8330.

Look at the last item under the Calling heading: Can't post a link so cut and past in your browser:

"NOISE REDUCTION

Dual microphone noise reduction"

Well I guess that answers that

Well, it looks like I stand corrected. I thought I read that the dual microphone was a first on the Nexus one. Oh Well. Now my question is, where is the second mic located? My hard case appears to cover up the whole phone so I wonder if it's covering it?

My Seidio case has a cutout on the back top that I always wondered what it was for. I don't know if it's for the microphone or not but that could be where it's at.

Hello,

Thank you all for your interest! Yes, the Droid does have a dual mic configuration setup and we are the only case maker that we know that has the opening for it. Here is a picture for you:

The molded square on the top of the case is where it is located.

Regards,

If there's a mic up there, I sure don't see it. Anyone else?

It's just a little slit on the top-back of your phone.

Generally you don't see the mic itself on any device -- rather you just see the opening. You'd have to open your device to see the mic.

 

[Genetic_Bloom]

Guess I was right, I always wondered what the cutout was for.

 

[j7469]

The only opening for a mic that I could find is on the edge where the back of the phone and top meet. To the right of the headphone jack if your looking at the back off the phone. On the top of the soft rubbery pad near the top of the back of the phone. If that's it, my case is covering it up and probably making it moot.

I guess I'll be looking for a new case


**** Just noticed the picture of the opening on the case in this post and that is where I was talking about. Looks like I'm definitely getting a new case. ****

I see what you're talking about, but even for a slit that is the smallest thing I've ever seen. If that's indeed the case, I guess I'll stop worrying about whether people can hear me very well when I'm on speakerphone and the phone is laying on it's front.
