People say they hear me like I'lm under water - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Hey guys,
My friend has this phone and not too long ago he flashed the latest cm9 rom. Everything went well and the phone rebooted to cm9 with no problems. We understand cm9 got some bugs still, however, we were wondering if anyone experienced an underwater effect when talking to someone on the phone. He tells me that when he is talking on the phone with someone, the person on the other line says he/she hears him like he's under water. What could be causing this? Is there a simple fix for it? Thanks guys

Go into dialer settings and make sure u have noise suppression checked. should be all good .

Callers complaining of voice echoing?

Recently callers have been complaining that they hear their voice echo when talking to me...its only on their end...everything sounds fine on my end. It also only seems to happen when receiving calls from other cell phones. Is this happening to you? Also please state what rom you are using so we can try to determine if this is rom-related or a sprint service problem.
First back to the question... I don't recall. But so far I haven't heard it on my phone.
Using my HTC Evo phone which I'm using Xda app to post
I take it your running MIUI? The last couple of builds have had this issue. It will get worked out.
im not having the issue, but i would like to know, which rom are you on and did you ever fix it?
The only time this has come up is when people use the MIUI ROM. This is a known problem in that ROM
Try turning your speaker volume down as low as you can still hear it. Echo is caused by the combination of lag and the sound from the earpiece getting picked up by the mic.
Yes I'm using MIUI. Someone just complained about it for the 1st time the other day. I read it was common in MIUI rom but wanted to see if others had the same problem. It doesn't appear to happen when talking to someone on a land line...nor does it happen when talking to my fiancée who has tmobile. I thought about switching roms by i like MIUI too much. I don't talk on the phone much/for very long...so the people i talk to can suck it up for a few mins lol
Did you upgrade to the new MIUI from 1/23? They said it's fixed in that.

Mic on phone seems messed up

[Q] This just started this morning. When I talk to someone they hear me at a very low volume and the mic cuts in and out. Also noticed when the phone rings it sounds really "snowy". Anybody have any ideas what could be wrong?
Running SFR 1.1.0
HC Fusion 2.1
Clean Kernel
I have a problem were either sides can't hear each other .... happens maybe 4/10 times... im also on SFR (i think we all know why xD)
Happens even more times on midnight... not sure what it is but yea i've done alot of Odins, Redownloads, Reflashes ... just gave up on it really.
Could be an issue with speaker/mic. Do a backup then flash back to stock. if it doesn't solve the problem then you'll have to go to sprint. You'd have to flash to stock anyway for them to look at your phone.

(Problem) Conversational partner hears himself double.

Hi,
This is the second time I replaced the frontcover of my Defy. They weren't original ones but the Earpiece still is.
Now i have the problem when I'm phoning with someone the person hears himself double, even if i turn down the Volume. When i switch to the loudspeaker the problem is gone.
I already tested with another ROM and another phone but the problem doesn't appear.
I can post some pictures of the inside of the phone so you guys can take a look if there is something wrong with it.
I hope somebody can help me, because this is pretty anoying. (Not for me but for the other person he he )
Have you tested with your phone and different rom in case it's a software problem?
Does it do this when other people call you? If not, then it's your friend who has a network/phone issue.

Yes i tested it with another ROM and it's on every phonecall.
But i maybe found the problem in a german forum.
There is a little membrane missing underneeth the sound channel of the frontcoer which probably is causing this problems.

possible microphone problem suggestions??

Hey guys, my galaxy nexus has started acting up. If I make a call to someone I can hear the person talk, but they can not hear me. Now the person I call when they try talking, they just hear there own voice back when they talk. If they said hi, they would hear themselves say hi back. Now the strange part, if I turn my phone to speakerphone everything works fine?!? Can anyone make anything out on what's going on with this? Suggestions? Thank you

What ROM do you use?
I'm using winners00 build of CM10 JB rom. I have been using the same rom for the past three to four weeks roughly. No problems until now

I'd check with the dev of that ROM (or a forum support thread for it) if this problem has been encountered before. If not, I'd try flashing stock factory images for your device to see if the problem persists. If it does, it's likely to be a HW issue.

Can't hear person during call & person can't hear me.

Hello and thank you in advance to all. I have a t989,
I run AOKP Galaxysbean V_12
KKO Kernel Governor is Smartass V2 and I/O is deadline
UVLI4 Radio
Problem: I know for a fact this is not a hardware problem, because I have went through 3 phone replacements because of stupidity and learning how to root phone, flash roms, yada, yada, etc. And with each of these phones this persistent problem occurs where all of the sudden at any given time, I will go to make a call and nothing. I can't hear the ring of another person's number, my voicemail, etc. The person does get the call, and when they answer, I still cannot hear them, and they cannot hear me.
Resolution: Ways I have fixed this before are with the first and second phone I flashed over a new radio, (previously UVLE1, UVLH1, 4G Blaze) and it fixed the calling upon reboot. Also I had flashed custom roms, or restored previous Nandroid backups and it worked again. (Little annoying doing this every 3 or 4 days. Though today, this happened with my newest phone, and flashing a radio did not work nor did restoring a Nandroid. This time I had to flash a new custom rom, then it worked. Then I flashed back over the Nandroid and it still works as of now.
Question: Could this be because of the kernel? Or the rom?

same here
Me and my wife have the same issues. We both have GS2s but hers is stock unrooted and mine is running CM10.1. Been dealing with Tmobile for months without success, swapping out cut down on how often its happening but did not fix it. Tmobile is stumped, very annoyed by this issue.
Not sure what's causing the problem but it seems jellybean 4.2 has fixed this issue. Try flashing AOKP 4.2 and make sure noise suppression is enabled and call this number 9143388802. The third option is an echo test and fourth option let's you record a playback to listen to how you sound. If you sound normal and people are still complaining then its their phone.

I've come to the conclusion that its a rom problem because for me it happens with only certain roms. Ive tried all the rom kernel combinations and different radios but the only fix I've found is to retire that particular rom, no matter how good it is. Smoothness aint gonna get the cops or the fireman to your house. The only roms that have worked for me as far as call quality are, for some reason all of TheLastSidekick's Kangs, Darkside evolution 3, Sky Jellybean, Rushing's Bulletproof,and both of the 10.1 variants we have. The strange thing is I can't recall any call quality issue's when flashing roms from the Skyrocket thread. For instance I get the worst call quality ever using Jedi Jelly, but I'm crystal clear using Embryo from the Skyrockets thread, so much so I wont even try our version of the same rom.
I blame T-Mobile network. This would happen to me all the way back to my old flip phones. Every other call or so would do this. I've always put up with it cuz I like T-Mobile customer service.

I actually just realized this problem persisted when I would turn on the phone and try to make a phone call to quickly. After becoming aware of this. I turned the phone off and allowed it to fully boot back up, and it worked again.

I can confirm that this is the problem. I rebooted my phone, called someone right away, and couldn't hear anything. Next I let it load for 40 seconds after boot, and I can hear fine.
Now we have to tell t-mobile this.

This is not the issue, it also happens to phones that have been on for minutes/hours/days.
Is there any updates on this issue? My wife is having this problem on her phone, and it seem like it's been getting worse...

I found out with my problem. It was when I tried to make a call to soon. It would do this. As long as I have let the phone load for a minute or two after boot, I haven't had any more problems. My problem may be different from yours tho. Hope this helps.
I'm having this issue, and its not from calling too quick after a boot.
It came on out of the blue the evening of March 6 ...
I have the Tmob phone but it's unlocked and I'm using a Straight Talk AT&T SIM, connected to the AT&T network in Sierra Vista, AZ.
Ok... I need help. I am such a novice at this stuff but I find myself so very interested in the world of root, and the freedom that it brings. Basically my entire knowledge of computers..... Is Android, and worse than that, I'm self taught... Please don't run!! I'm a super quick study. Ok now to my problem, I started off rooting my T 989 surprisingly enough with absolutely no issues at all, or at least that I could tell. Ran beautiful and super smooth, then I went app hoarding and installed A fonts package installer, opened it, it installed about 85 prcnt. done and crashed. Never made it back. The novice, and the dumbass in me, FREAKED! and did an uneducated, no experience attempt to make recovery....... 4 times needless to say that I COMPLETELY wiped the entire phone. I had a friend bless me and show me a thing or two and I successfully managed to flash one of your Roms to it and I must tell you that I supremely thankful to all who n these projects.... MAD RESPECT to all of you. So the one issue I am clearly having is everyone I speak to says I sound like I'm on speaker or just can't generally hear me. Been through the settings a couple of times and I am pretty sure that I have them correct, and I have not touched anything that I wasn't sure about, and I definitely have completely refrained from pimpin my kernel. I really just need someone who can spend a little time setting me straight on some unfamiliars. Also just have a few stupid questions that won't be the least bit stupid after I get them answered. Any time any one can lend would be greatly appreciated and someone's good deed for the day. Thanks for allowing me to vent guy's

And no, issue definitely is not exclusive to happening on reboot, mine has been that way ever since flashing, and on every call. But I can hear the other end perfectly......

Just leave me some thanks. Under your phone settings, there should be a noise surrpression box. Make sure it is check marked. Every time I do that people have said I sound better. What do you want to do? Change it back to custom rom? P.S. ALWAYS MAKE A NANDROID BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING.. ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS!.. Google will solve many questions too. If nothing helps or you need to be walked through some processes, message me.
Enable noise suppression in phone settings. Fixed my problem.
