My XT1060 is apparently stuck on mute mic, as people cannot hear me when I call. I have hit the mute/unmute button numerous times. Is this indicative that the phone is defective? I have only had it a couple of months.
does this happen to receiving calls?
It only happened on outgoing calls. I don’t get many incoming calls, so I don’t know. I solved the issue by shutting the phone off and rebooting it, but it shouldn’t have happened.
It could be caused by some third-party apps. Some buggy apps may mess up the mic after exiting.
