IPhone 5 Microphone not working?

I've been having this problem ever since I got it, which was for christmas.
The microphone on my phone works very badly, and I have to YELL for the other person to hear me. Which is not appealing when you're talking to them while you're taking the buss or grocery shopping. Literally, I've been getting the weirdest glares from people because I had to shout over the phone.

I have tried to
- remove my case cover
- reset my iphone
- turn the volume and speaker on maximum
- use headset
- use speaker
but nothing seem to make it any better.

its almost been a year since I got it, I don't think I can just turn it in now. I don't know why I haven't turned it in sooner. I guess because I got it as a gift from my parents and relatives, I didn't want to say "oh, it doesn't work properly" when they had put so much effort into getting it for me. But now, I'm getting seriously pissed at my phone and I can't take it anymore! It's also really expensive to get it fixed if I turned it in (apple products in general are really expensive in my country).

Any ideas on what I can do? I'm really lost.

Best thing to use for writing or taking notes?

I'm a rapper, looking for something I can take notes and write songs on and still easily keep on me and be able to save whatever I was writing and it needs to be more portable than a computer because I'm in school and can't pull out a computer whenever I think of something and I don't like the notepad for the iPhone but if there's an app that would be better I'd take that to, thanks in advance I really need one of these

Where can I sell my electronics?

I'm trying to sell some things of mine like mu SD cards and my iPhone, but I want to sell it quick, not wait 1 month using amazon. Any idea of some stores that buy stuff for cheap. I live in Colorado, USA. Just so you guys know. Or even websites I can use too.

My iPhone locked me out and stopped working?

I was just getting off school the other day and heading to work, so I thought I would listen to some music. I opened up the YouTube app, but before I could search anything the app crashed. I tried all the other apps with the same issue, and as I was trying again to open the YouTube app, my phone locked itself. I tried again, and again, but it would not accept my password at all, it wouldn't even let me access emergency calls. After a while, the lock screen stopped showing up at all! I know it has power because when I switch it to silent I can feel it vibrate, i've tried charging it, and I can't turn it off! Please help! What's going on with it? What should I do?

How to get BBM for my iPhone? - 1

Of course, I've heard there's BBM on iPhones now, but BlackBerry have suspended the actual release due to frauds etc. However, I know there's a way to get it- by changing your country to New Zealand. I couldn't actually do that with my original Apple ID, as I had 42p left over and your balance needs to be at 0 to change regions. Obviously, I couldn't spend that last 42p, because nothing was 42p! Therefore, I contacted Apple to see if they could wipe my balance. I wanted a quick reply, which they are unable to give, so I made a new Apple ID while I was waiting. After I had created the new account, I was so excited to change my region to New Zealand- until I found out I couldn't. When I try and change my account to New Zealand, it still asks me for billing information. Obviously, my billing information won't work in New Zealand. I've read that you can choose 'none' for a billing method but it wasn't the option on mine. I changed my English billing method to 'none' hoping that would help but it hasn't. When I try to change my region to New Zealand, it still asks me for a credit card number etc. Please could someone help?

IPhone Charging is not supported with this accessory? FAST

So I have an iPhone 3GS 8GB iOS 6.1.3 jailbroken and my original charge cable broke. Bought a new one and that charged perfectly. That one broke too. Bought another from the same shop and when I connect the cable to the original wall connector it says Charging is not supported with this accesory. I tried connecting the charger to other wall ports but didn't work. After that I tried connecting the cable to other connectors. I tried to connect it to my brother's LG connector and it charges perfectly. But the LG's adapter's output is 5.1V and the Apple adapter's output is 5V. What should I do so I would make the original charger work? I want to sell this phone so I need to fix it. Also my brother needs his adapter because my one is charging his phone too slow. FAST ANSWER Please?

Who is that band with the female drummer?

I just caught a glimpse of their music video awhile ago. The band had a female drummer/supporting vocals. The video showed a date scene in which the conversation was presented like an Iphone messaging system. I'm not entirely sure if its an American or English band. Its just that I realized they had some nice chorus and would like to hear more of their music.

Added (1). I forgot to add they look like a young bunch (4 or 5 members IIRC). Unfortunately, it's not Skillet.
