Stupid question, but on the back of the incoming call button, is that a mic hole?
Yep... but I always found that its better to use regular headphones and just stick to using the phones mic

This phone has two microphones, one on top and o e on the bottom.
I believe that when you make a call, the mic on the bottom is used by default. Both mic are enabled if you select noise cancellation during callas. Try that.
Otherwise, your problem may be more than just a broken mic, its kind of hard to break a microphone internally.

I think while in a call and in the dialer app you can access "noise cancellation" by pressing the capacitive settings button and a menu will pop up.

In Searching about the same problem this seems to be common on this phone for custom Roms... can't seem to find out why.
My phone with CM9 doesn't even have the switch for noise cancelling.
I have noticed that it makes a big difference if you speak into the mic directly - as in speakerphone vs holding it to your ear.
The mic works fine in voice recording. Bluetooth seems to be OK too.
Did not know there was a top mic... I wonder if there is a goof in the original code and the custom roms got the wrong mic...
Do any of the volume hack apps work for this phone? Not for headphones but to hear it ring louder.

U really think this phone doesn't ring loud enough? Lol...for me its almost obnoxious.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
It is loud ... really loud ...
I have owned 5 other Android phones over the years before this E4GT, and it is easily the loudest of them all. The phone ringer is too loud for me, can hear the thing a mile away.

Guys remember its all in what ringer you choose to use also. Some of the custom ones I use are softer than others.

I agree it is loud. But my evo might of been louder. But either way, its loud.
Wow ... for me its also got soft speakers ... can barely hear anything without headphones
If anything this phone needs reduced sound. It's so loud at maxed setting I can leave it in my basement and hear it on the 2nd floor lol.. The alarm volume is really low though and you'll sleep thru it.. Reminds me of the first epic since it had the same issue with the notification volume being lower then the others...

I use "old phone" ringtone, and it is just way too loud at max volume, ear piercing.
I keep it set to 1/3rd volume, and that is plenty loud to hear nearby.

I use music as a ringer. I think it's the song. Thanks guys

Does this happen to anyone else?
The phone is set to silent, and while just sitting on a desk, the phone IS silent. Once I plug in my headset though, it reverts to audible notifications for ringtone, emails, texts, etc... and interrupts playback. The phone still shows that it is on silent, but it's not. Anyone else having this issue? It's not a "rooted" issue, I don't think, because it happened to me before I rooted. I'm not in need of an immediate fix, but it is a little annoyance.

Probably because it's the same question. Now with 2 threads.

I think you can set separate settings when something is plugged into the headphone jack. Just set it to silent while you have headphones plugged in and it will remember. Pretty sure that's right, someone correct me otherwise.

That's the whole point of both threads, this is not happening. Its set to silent and it keeps going off when a notification arrives.

Is it possible to have my gs3 in my pocket and use Google voice search via the headphones?
This would be very useful, for example while walking to school and I can ask my phone what time it is and it can answer me.

The only way you could do that is with headphones with the built in mic.
There's typically a button inline on the cable.

Nope, when it's plugged in it doesn't let me use Google voice search unless the screen is unlocked.
