I have been wondering for a few days now whether the "Straight Talk" loudspeaker and mic activated by flipping the Rhodium is not the same as the loudspeaker activated by tapping "loudspeaker" when making a call and perhaps someone can enlighted me?
The reason I'm asking is because I have read such raving reviews of the Straight Talk function, with its crystal clear noice cancelled sound and everything, yet when I'm in the car making a call and tap "loudspeaker" I have to talk really loud for the people on the other end to hear me. Also they sometime complain about the sound recieved from me being metallic or having a background hum to it.
So, is the two functions different? And if they are, is there another way to activate Straight Talk than flipping the phone?
Or is my Rhodium faulty?
Any input is very much appreciated!
Noone can help here?
Yes those functions are different. When you use straight talk it uses the microphone on the back of the rhodium. I don't know if there is another way to activate this function and I don't know why you would do that
Witch rom are you using? In my experience the custom roms have a better sound quality then stock roms. I don't know if it's true but it's just a feeling
I guess I'm just too used to tapping the loudspeaker button just after dialing... or when recieving calls. Sometimes it doesn't work putting it face down whilst driving, on the passenger seat, and I can't put it face down while it is in a cradle either...
I'm using the latest stock ROM, european version.

Hi everyone im gonna get my Htc touch pro2 tomorrow, and I wanted to say that if there is any app or tweak for the microphone, because soon I will be attending university and I needed the microphone to be tweaked or enhanced so I can record the lectures.
Is there anyone who can help me?

There are two things worth trying. The first is turning on/off the automatic gain control (settings->system->agc) and see what is better. The second is checking whether the microphone on the headset provides better quality than the one on the handset.
The device's noise cancelation does not work in the situation you described.

Buy Resco Audio Recorder...it has GAIN and it has NOISE REMOVAL.
Noise removal removes alot of noise to make lecture easier to listen to.
Gain makes the voice comprehend-able.
As long as you make the correct settings for the program.
Your lectures and discussion and laboratories will always turn out perfect.
Too bad the dual mics can't be used for that. Was hoping to use it in the exact same way when I got it... Oh well, I might just call my home and record the call in order to make them kick in
Or ask my friend to let me call his cell, put him on speaker, and ask him to put the mute on so it'll only record my end of the speaker phone call
Thats a good idea
Yeah, except that it will drain the battery like mad. Good thing it's rated for a very long talk time.
Also remember it will incurr call charges. My plan is great and I don't have to worry about that. But some people do.
Tilt2. Energy ROM (early Dec.).
Incoming quality usually seems very good.
Outgoing (and incoming) on the normal earpiece seems fine.
The speaker phone (on the back) is horrible. The other person says it sounds like I am talking in a cave/echo. I guess this means it is like a very bad speakerphone and the other person knows it is a bad speakerphone and it is annoying to him.
The speaker phone (on the front) is better but not as good as advertised.
When I use a wired headset (HTC) the other person says it sounds muffled.
I have not tried any of the AudioPara cabs I shave een in other threads because these seem to fix volume control and right now I do not think that is my issue.
Any advise would be greatly appreciated!
Hi!
Is there a way to get Straight talk working on 6.5?
By Straight talk I don't just mean turning the speakerphone when the phone is face down, but using the 2 microphones to do noise canceling.
It's a shame not to use it and it renders my speakerphone useless as people usually hang up when I switch the speakerphone cause of all the ambient noise.
I've read that it worked on 6.1 and there were some options which I can not find on 6.5?
I use the straight talk alot and never heard people talking about noise when calling with them...If nobody comes with a solution, maybe you can try a different rom from another chef?

Can you confirm that 2 mic noise canceling is enabled and working?
You should have extra menu items for it.
We both have samsung galaxy s4 with t mobile, latest update. When Calling the other person, you can hear the receiving phone speaker. I'll hear their ringtone if they're volume is up. I'll hear whatever noise is in the room with their cell phone when calling. Even their voice. I've tested and it happens both ways. it's been going on for 6 months now. Just weird to have it happen to two phones. I've already done a factory reset. Any ideas?
So what's wrong, that's how phones work, you hear them and they hear you. ???
Pp.
that was dumb. why would I say I tested it. More detail for anyone else who thinks like pancho: it's like the mic is activated without answering the phone. Imagine calling someone and they don't answer, but you can hear everything the mic picks up. you'll hear their custom ringtone or whatever sound is near their phone mic.
This is how the question should have gone. :
When I place a call, before the person answers the phone I can hear the phones ringer tone and all ambient sounds near and around the phone or person I'm calling before they answer, what could cause this?
Humm, ............... your phone is possessed. You need an exorcist.
Edit : This may also occur if the person your calling is sitting next to you.

So here is the problem. I have tried talking to Google Support and also LG Support. Not under warranty anymore. I have heard several different people mention problems with their mics in calls, be it incoming or outgoing. I have done several things to try to fix this problem; flashing stock firmware and upgrading thru OTA's, clearing cache, rebooting every day, flashing custom roms, modifying the build.prop, opening the device and checking for physical damage. To my knowledge this phone has 3 microphones that are used for actual speaking and background noise reduction. When I opened the device everything looked ok on what I assumed were the mics (the tiny square bits soldered to the logic board at the top and the bottom). I assume these were just going bad and finally gave out on me. Has anyone had any experience getting these fixed or repaired? Is there any software based approach I can look into? I am really tired of using my speakerphone in every call. I assume I am not the only person with this problem.
If anyone can shed some light on this or help in anyway I would appreciate it
Thanks!
I would start by describing the mic issue you are experiencing during voice calls.
Haven't had any myself.
No one can hear me using the microphone, as soon as I switch to speakerphone the other party is able to hear me.
I've read mics can stop functioning if you try and clean the phone with compressed air. As far as fixing or replacing a mic I am unable to provide assistance.
Well rats. Hopefully someone can shed some light on getting this fixed. I do have some soldering experience but I don't even know how this translates via the logic board. Anyone that has more information the help would be awesome. Thank you for your time though previous posters.

I have this problem as well, but also all media volume can't be heard through the speakers. I've personally cleaned and replaced the unit and nothing works, I just have to choose speaker and start talking, else use a headset or a bluetooth mic
Same problem, no solution yet.
Think that is a software/driver/app combination bug.
When Iam in call hardly can anyone​ hear me, if I cover top mic - then im heard again (proof that bottom mic is working).
Top mic is used to cancel background noise, phone interpret your voice as background noise and volume it down. That way nobody can hear you.
When I cover top mic - no background noise detected and my voice is heard again.
Question is why top mic detect legit voice as background noise?
Same problem here. Can't use microphone normally on any sort of voice call. I have to change to speaker for people to be able to hear me. I'm not sure if I still have warranty so if it's a software problem I might be able to fix it by myself.
