I usually just lurk around this site but I had to create an account to tell this story...

I have owned iPhones since I got rid of my motorola razr flip phone, all my noise cancellation experience is with iPhones.

About a week ago, I was walking around a hall where the DSO (Detroit Symphony Orchestra) was playing, I called my wife to tell her I was watching the DSO. The conversation went a little bit like this...

me "hey, hear that?"

her "no, what?"

me "the music!"

her "what music?"

me "i'm standing in front of the detroit symphony orchestra!!"

her "i don't hear anything"

me "oh wait, let me put you on speaker phone..."

her "holy crap! it sounded like you were alone in a quiet room!"

I was at the airport the other day when I was able to test out the noise cancellation.

While speaking to my girlfriend, the overhead intercom went off. I asked her if she was able to hear the background voice, and she said that she was able to hear it slightly, but my voice was still much louder and more prominent.

Then there was a family behind me with two young children. Their bodies were behind me, but the kids were projecting their voices towards my back (which would be in alignment with my own voice). My girlfriend told me that my voice was still roughly about 70% of the overall noise she was hearing, which to her was plenty clear.
[X 2014 General] imaginaryenemy:
I have had possibly rare, but albeit unfortunate experience with the noise cancellation on my Moto X 2014. I own a doggie daycare and there is (as you would expect) a lot of barking going on. If I am speaking on the phone and a dog barks, the caller has reported all sound, that is me AND the bark, cut out. As if talking over a barking dog wasn't hard enough as it was, now I have to fight my noise cancellation, too!
[X 2014 General] cb474:
Some noise cancellation does this. It's a problem on the Nexus 5, with the noise cancellation being too aggressive and cancelling even ones own voice. It will also cut in and out too soon, so that the beginning and end of things you say are cut off.

Part of what was so amazing with the Audience chip in the Nexus One was that it both totally cancelled background noise much of the time, but did not have the sort of problem you describe.

In fact, it's usually phones that don't even have multiple microphones that have this type of problem. They just turn the microphone off when you aren't talking and back on when you are. But it's hard to get the timing right.

Active noise cancellation with multiple microphones is supposed to detect what sound is background noise with microphones that are further away from your mouth and what is your voice with the microphone that's closest to your mouth. Then they use signal processing to remove the background noise. So they really should be doing continuous signal processing and not cutting in an out in the way described.

I do think that with sudden loud sounds, like dogs barking, it's pretty hard to signal process that out. Noise cancellation works better at cancelling an ongoing background din.

*

Are you talking about with a 2nd Gen Moto X or with an iPhone?

*

Hard to know what to make of that without side by side comparisons in the same situation with other phones. My experience with the Audience chip was that people just didn't hear any sound other than my voice. The situation where background noise is attenuated, but present, sounds more like what I've experience with the lesser Qualcomm Fluence noise cancellation.

[X 2014 General] cb474:
Thanks, that's good to hear.

So you're not having the problem other people report where the noise cancellation cuts off your voice itself and your caller can't hear what you're saying?

What about the other situation where if you are trying to talk quietly in a quiet place and it ends up filtering out your voice?
[X 2014 General] gitku:
Something I found from my wife's phone: we bought a cheap case off Amazon and it covered up one of the mics on the back. That caused even the smallest noise to cut her out. Take the case off and it works great.

Just wanted to share my experience. We blamed the phone for a few days and the case was the problem.
[X 2014 General] Judge584:
It work so good I'm surprised. When I talk to friends while being in railway station with train passing at max speed in the station : my friend tells me it was impossible to hear train, just my voice was transmitted. It is very good considering a train makes a lot of noise, very loudly.
[X 2014 General] cb474:
Thanks for your comments. Yeah, I can see where a case would mess up the noise cancellation. Sometimes it even gets messed up by people inadvertently covering a microphone hole with their hand, when they're holding the phone. That's impressive that it works well in the train station. Good to know.
[X 2014 General] amardeep.sidhu:
I think I am facing exactly the same problem. I haven't tested the calling from a noisy environment scenario but when i am making calls from home people tell me the same thing. It is pretty pathetic. Any ways to disable this ?

---------- Post added at 06:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:11 PM ----------

What are those two small holes on back side ? One just down and another small one just above the flash.

Are they microphones ?
[X 2014 General] CUBENSIS:
Those are mic holes
[X 2014 General] stastnysnipes26:
Can we please put this thread to rest? This is one of the few phones that have 4 mic's for noise cancellation. How do you think the noise cancelling is?
[X 2014 General] TheNerd:]:
I think this thread is worthy.

Noise cancelation is always overlooked by phone reviewers. Sure, the moto x (2014) has 4 mics, but how good is it in practice? E.g. the galaxy s5 has a fingerprint sensor; however, in practice the sensor is not good at all.

Reviews from people in real life scenarios really helps us consumers. Read over the thread. It's been stated that the noise cancelation also cancels out your OWN voice in quiet environments. Concrete evidence from real consumers like this is extremely helpful because, again, NO reviews mentioned this bug.
[X 2014 General] Zammo76:
Where are the 4 mics on the moto x? I'm having issues with mine where it mutes my call to whoever I'm calling once I stop talking. Sometimes this clips my words and it can be difficult for the other person to understand what I'm saying. BTW this is with my case removed which was causing another issue where it'd make my voice go really quiet and echoey.
[X 2014 General] srynoname:
At my home I can't make a call where people understand me, seems like audio filtering totally fails. no problem outside. very good signal quality inside, I can hear the person at the other end without problems. no problems with my old phone (galaxy nexus). sending back the moto x 2014 ):
[X 2014 General] flopjoke:
I can confirm what a few others have said - noise cancellation works really well outdoors and at any environment with significant background noise. However, it does diminish your voice indoors in a quiet place, if you're not speaking up loudly. I had many people say "what? Can you repeat that?" or "didn't catch that" when I'm speaking normally in my room, but outside in the noisy and windy streets of downtown Chicago, everyone can hear me perfectly and sometimes they didn't even know I was walking outside.

While having four mics does help in noise cancellation, I think it can be updated to detect low levels of ambient noise and increase sensitivity/decrease noise cancellation effects when indoors. That's my only gripe about it - otherwise, it works great.
[X 2014 General] erikiksaz:
Noise cancellation works flawlessly for me indoors and out.

I'm wondering if people are talking about speakerphone performance. Now that sucks, but it seems to be poor for practically all other brands of phones as well since noise cancellation doesn't work in speakerphone mode.
[X 2014 General] Zammo76:
No not speakerphone on standard calls I was having issues.
[X 2014 General] rob342:
seems good for me, speakerphone or not. i use speakerphone in my ridiculously loud mustang and haven't gotten any complaints. i also got my mom an x2 and she's on speakerphone almost 100% of the time. she's even called me on speaker to ask about customers and i didn't know, which is dangerous since they were standing right there when she called me. luckily i didnt say anything bad about them! what i mean is i didnt even know i was on speaker, nor do the other people she talks to. pretty amazing really
[X 2014 General] Zammo76:
I had the issue again yesterday. In a quiet room so this ties in with what someone was thinking above. This time I tried adjusting the way I was holding my phone as I thought my palm might be covering the bottom back mic, the other caller then said they could hear me OK, but I'm not sure if this was a coincidence. Especially as I tried covering the mic again and it didn't replicate the problem.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tryfound:
Help please! I flashed an S5 port ROM onto my Note 3 which ran well, then I decided to go back to stock and tried to flash the latest stock Telstra (Australia) ROM via Odin and got weird process failed errors after first boot on my N9005 model.

Decided to try a custom ROM again which loads OK, but the phone isn't right. It doesn't respond correctly when I press the power button, and when it does, I swipe to unlock but 80% of the time it doesn't respond. It also seems to randomly vibrate every now and then. Something is really screwed up with it. I've tried flashing the latest SweetRom and also the S5 port I had on there before but they both have the same issue. Camera isn't working properly, the app loads but doesn't show an image and eventually says "media server failed. camera needs restart". This is on the S5 ROM

Did flashing the S5 ROM update something on the phone to a newer version which I've screwed up trying to go back to the Telstra ROM? I am doing a full wipe of cache/system/dalvik before flashing as well. The stock ROM is completely unusable, I can't proceed through the setup wizard because I get an endless loop of process failure error prompts. With custom ROMs I can at least get through the setup wizard but the phone isn't functioning right.

Video I recorded below after a clean flash of SweetRom which should make the issues easier to understand,

Hi all

Has anyone successfully configured their Z3 to use an activesync account with Microsoft's Office 365 Exchange servers?

TIA

Yes, been using it since day 1. Basically, set username as domain.com\email@domain.com, server as outlook.office365.com, and check "use secure connection" only, using port 443. Mail app will then prompt you to install exchange services. After that, all will be fine.

Many thanks. It is good to know that someone has this working. I shall try again later today. I would swear I've tried it this way but I've never been prompted to install Exchange Services. Just to be sure, you are doing this from Settings - accounts - Exchange Active sync. Is that correct?
