[Q] Problem with my microphone - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ever since i flash the newest midNIGHT rom the microphone hasn't been working. Not sure if its hardware related or software.. Anyone else experiencing this?

I think you have to change the mic settings in Voodoo back to original.

+1 to this. Go into voodoo control and set mic to origonal. It seems some peoples phones don't like the new voodoo settings for mic. I've seen multiple people with the same issue and its usually fixed by changing that setting

Equalizer?

Does anyone know of a good equalizer app available? I have a rooted Epic running SRF 1.1, which comes with Voodoo, but with all of the things that Voodoo does, one thing it does not do is function as an equalizer (as far as I can tell). I'm looking for an equalizer that functions at the level that Voodoo does, which is to say that it's not app-specific. If nothing exists like this, then does anyone know of an equalizer that works at least with Pandora? Thanks in advance.

Nevermind, I found the app Galaxy Tuner. It works great, I just tested it. Between that app and Voodoo, sound on my Epic sounds pimp through the 3.5mm port.

Thank you for replying that you got it to work. I was wondering myself until I finally found this thread.
Will this work on ef02? Won't let me open any of the options

Quick app questiion...

Does anyone know of an app that mocks headphones being plugged in so you can toggle louder vulume settings using voodoo sound? I know there's volume boost apps but they all don't work, voodoo is the only one that I know of that does.. It'd be awesome to have one, although it'd probably mess your speaker up using really loud volume.. any ideas? Thanks

Even if there was one voodoo wouldn't make it louder because voodoo changes the amp setting in the phone and the amp settings don't affect the speaker no mater what!

EK02 Bug Thread

Well no one has made one yet, so I'll do the honors.
I have seen a decrease is signal strength, but I have noticed better data speeds. I never had the LoS issue before, so I can't tell if this fixed it or not.
Source for EK02 still hasn't been released yet...
Also just a heads up Sprint updated Swype to the latest version in this update as well.
Sound bug is still there. I can't comment on LOS until I am running the new radio (currently on EG31).
What is the "Sound Bug?" And I also noticed that Samsung added arrows to the lockscreen.

Bug where some games and most emulators will randomly crash, usually within minutes.

This only seems to be an issue with the ET4g. Besides that I haven't noticed any other issues.
Can someone please test the headset control for music?

I was wondering the same thing until someone posted a link yesterday. Is it isolated to games because I thought the sound bug was how loud it got from 1 step below max to full volume. Lol

I tested with two headsets.
My Samsung earbuds (came with Moment) don't have any control.
My Klipsch (S2m) earbuds have two controls. Short press opens contacts, while long press opens Voice Talk.
I haven't tested it to answer or end calls.

No. I tried with the Samsung (stock) music app and the Google Music app. No luck. Screen is turned on if off, but nothing is changed.
ATM, the headphone button doesn't have any control over music.
Does anyone else have a problem when opening the app drawer, zooming out, then selecting a page only to bring you back to the home screen?

Yeah that's new. They removed the checkboarding from the browser and the "bounce." Thank the Apple likeness lawsuits ... Same stuff that was in the euro sgs2 updates.

I have this bug also. My lockscreen seems to have disappeared as well, but only on a critically low battery. Not sure if that is behavior or not since I have only had the phone for a day.

For your lockscreen go to Location & Security and set your lock period to immediately

I don't have an option to set the lock period. I'm on the stock ROM and unrooted.
The EK02 update has seemed to fix the touchscreen acting crazy while charging, but I'm not entirely sure about it.
this is NOT a bug, but do not want to start a new thread.

In call volume too LOUD

Talking on the phone practically makes my ears bleed it is so LOUD. Does anyone know of an app that allows you to lower the volume beyond what the normal settings allow for? Is there any other way to accomplish this task? Voodoo sound doesnt seem to make any difference on call volume, even when I am using headphones on the call. Thanks!

I think that controls the mic gain, not the earpiece.

I have always been able to adjust the call volume via the side volume controls, when in a call
Ie: when on a call, turn the volume down the same way you would the ringer using the side buttons, and instead of seeing the media volume change, you should see incall volume adjusted

Yeah I do that but even at the lowest setting it is obnoxiously loud.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
maybe your ears are just overly sensitive or something is messed up on your phone, rom, kernel, something... wipe and fresh flash see if your problem persists. I can turn the volume down below my level of hearing, but I also have slightly damaged ears from too much gun-play without hearing protection.
I would love to know why its loud.....cause i want to make mine louder....i think im going deaf
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Switching to CM7 seems to have fixed the issue somewhat though the volume controls in call are a bit eratic now. I am pretty sure it was rom related as it happened to me on 2 of marcusant's roms. Maybe he likes loud calls lol.

Try the volume+ app in the market. He has free and paid versions but you can get the paid verszion for free on his website.

I believe the fix that worked for me was to disable hifi record in the voodoo control settings. Hope this helps!
Record settings in voodoo seem only to control mic gain (or mic loss, when I enable them no one can hear me! ). My earpiece is also obnoxiously loud in calls- on every GB rom I have tried. I would definitely like a fix for this.
No amount of wiping and flashing between multiple GB roms has ever fixed this.

disabling the Voodoo hi-fi play and record settings definitely fixed the loud call audio problem for me in gingerbread on the epic, sorry it's not working for you.

Weird Sound Bug

Almost everytime i plug headphones into my Galaxy S III, no sound plays into them. What i noticed, is that when i try to turn up the volume, the little sound icon that is next to the volume bar, has a slash through it. I have tried every combination of sound setting (that i know of) and the only way to fix it is a restart. This is VERY annoying so if anyone has any thoughts or help, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Are you using any sound app?

I've had that slash through the sound icon as well. But I was still getting sound through my headphones.. but you were saying how you get no sound at all coming out of both headphones if they are plugged in as well as the speaker phone?

Try changing the SoundAlive setting in Music Player.
Also try changing these:
Settings > Accessory > Audio Output and Audio Applications.
Settings > Accessibility > Mono Audio
Have you tried different headphones? How about the ones which came with the S3?

Well if the stock ones work then it sounds like the problem may be with the earphones you are using. Can you try them in another phone? (Preferably another s3) are they older earphones? If so it could be the cord is worn where it connects to the plug.
