Fixing the microphone issue
I am suffering the microphone issue and there is not official service in my country, so, Is there a way to fix the main microphone issue?
Thanks!

Testing and testing, as nothing else could be done, i was able to record my voice using the main mic. My guess is that it still works, but something is interfering with the sound entering the phone.
Should I open it? Why should I look? How is the process of unstucking the diaphragm of the mic (as I read in the google forums that it can be one of the causes).
Thanks!

Finally, I bought the Charging Port PCB, I replaced it and the mic works really nice again. The main mic is in that PCB, so I finally replaced my phone. :)
Is this a good question?

Have you tried a factory reset? If not, do so.

Google acknowledged that some of the "microphone problems" were due to a "hardware problem" .
see Google Help Forum here: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#...
I have had luck toggling the speaker phone on and off on mine, but that only solves the issue for that call.

I've tried everything, factory reset included. The only thing that helps is, as Christopher Williams says, toggling the speaker phone on and off. I hope there is a solution, I need to fix it.
Thanks everybody for the comments.

Watching the teardown of the Pixel XL, I can see that the main Microphone is attached to the "Charge Port PCB". If I can buy (where?) and replace myself that pcb, is it possible that I can solve my problem?
Any idea is welcome, I don't want to lose a phone like this for a relative small issue.

So, anybody recommends a place where to buy the whole PCB? I can't find it in stock anywhere.
Thanks!
