I have been getting complaints allot lately about my voice cracking when I'm on the phone with someone to the point where they couldn't understand me. After some playing around I found this fix.
Download alsamixer from the market give it su permissions and let it install. Then go to the line that says AUDUL voice ul and change it from 120 (default) to 110.
Now people should be able to hear you more clearly. I assume this is caused from over amplification of the microphone. Please test and report your results, for all I know I'm the only one with the problem. All I know is now I don't have to repeat myself anymore.
Which roms did you have this problem with? I've never had this problem with slimbean (unless people just aren't telling me) or aokp when I use to use that one.
This isn't development
And I've never had that problem on any rom.

Mix, feel free to move this as it it's not development.
Anyway, this problem may be only on a few devices. I run several different roms ands it happens on all of them. My wife was constantly telling me I was hard to understand after making this change she says I'm clear as a bell. Was just wanting to put it out there for others that may have the same problem.

please when you guys build a new rom, please please please do not remove the tmobile name i.d app, since this is causing problems on all roms out there!!!!!!!!!!
Problem: If you are in a call!!! And if you recieve a second call, and try to answer, , the phone automatically will cut the signal on both lines, and will take you back to the home screen,, this is a serious bug, and all of you are removing this app(t-mobile name id app from your roms) , please do not remove this app!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Solution: Do not remove the tmobile name id app from your roms!!!!!!
and this msg is specially for this user: Allgamer: You delete my treats all the time, i dont know what the hell its your problem, im just trying to let everyone know about this issues, you always delete my treats and always leave me a link on the bottom( which are not from the same topic of what im talkin about) so read before deleting treats, and probably you will get more "thanks" on your xda profile'
NAME ID APK DONWLOAD:
Oooh treats! I want one...... J/k im sure the devs are aware bud

Can't be that hard to put it back on onesself

Wah Wah...here it is.
Maybe your threads are being deleted because they're poorly written and whiney. Take 2 seconds, maybe use spellcheck, then click submit. It's not that difficult.
And as an aside, I've removed that apk from my stock rooted rom, and haven't experienced the aforementioned problem.

I do that all the time with my family and clients, and so far I don't have any problems like you described. Honestly I tried that last night with 2 different ROMS, Phantom, and Juggernaut, and no problems at all with setting somebody for hold and call somebody else.
it could possibly be a problem with the default phone.apk, and most devs just use a different apk for the dialer app, bypassing the problem. Or it's just not an issue.
we need more confirmation
because i ran a test on my own phone and it doesn't drop calls
when i call myself from a land line, and then from another cellphone or another land line i can swap between the 2 calls just fine
to me it sounds more like a reception problem, or user error, cancelling the calls by accident?
It happened with me, so i installed CWM and rooted the phone. Still on stock ROM i removed a bunch of T-Mobile apps including Name ID. After one of the members posted this issue here and i tested and got the same result. Finally after installing the Name ID app i was able to do multi calling. So i do not know why this is not same for everyone.

this only happens when you remove the caller id.apk from the system,also most of the roms dont have this app included so for somenof us installing a new rom its uselesss. even if yoy flsh the zip founded under development(bloafreee) you will get the same issue
The claim you make in this thread is so far off base. The apk your talking about is bloatware and is no way needed to make the phone operate correctly. As I said when you suggested this in the rom thread, I've never had this problem. And as far as I can tell neither has anyone but you.
Sounds like your device is to blame

Hey guys and gals. I've been active in the Sprint GS2 dev forums for over a year but this is my first post in the TMo section. I just bought my wife a new TMo GS2 that had never been activated. It already had the UVLE1 ICS update on it. When she calls me (or anyone else) her voice sounds muffled and there's what sounds like background noise when she is speaking. When she isn't talking, the background noise goes away. Just wondering if anyone is having this issue. She never used the phone with GB so we don't know if it has anything to do with the update. I told her tonight to try a factory reset to see if that helps and I was also considering flashing back to stock GB with Odin. Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated

I know it. Skype quality is very fine. But the normal calls are a so bad. Open the call window -> go in the option menu and de/activate the (i dont know the word in english) "Noise suppression". Test both. After the change it should working correctly.
You can check your microphone. Do a test call with skype or some other internet call app.

Thanks. Last night I was at work and told her to go into her phone app, open settings, and look for a noise suppression option. She said there was no setting for that. Maybe she's looking in the wrong place. I'll try a Skype call to see if the Mic is ok. I might root her phone and flash some modems to see if that helps, too. I can flash older GB modems, right?

Thanks. Yes I've now seen where this topic has been talked about quite a bit. I was on Tapatalk when I posted and it does a lousy job of searching. The stock ICS update doesn't have the noise suppression feature. I've downloaded the files I need so tomorrow I'm going to root the phone with Zedomax's Odin method, flash CWM and Superuser, then try different modems.
I am currently having an issue with my phone calls. Anyone who I call cannot hear anything I say. I'm told that I sound extremely distorted and muffled. However, I am able to use Google search voice commands just fine. So it isn't the microphone itself. I am using Psychos Cm9 9.1, but I have the same problem when I restored my backup of MIUI 2.4, so I'm guessing it's not the ROMs either. I read something about changing my settings to something called EVRC-B, but l the methods I have tried to get to the menu to change the settings haven't worked.
Any input would be appreciated.

or he or she is holding the phone against their chin, or there's lint stuck in the Mic hole, or their friends are jerks. Lots of possibilities...

I used a voice recorder app, and I sound fine. It is only through calls.
I admit I'm kind of a noob since I mainly mess with ROMs, so I could easily be wrong here, but could it perhaps be the radio...?

That is exactly where I would be looking now. I personally find the 1111 radio to be the best. Results vary though. Worth trying a couple at least to see what works for you.

Here you go.
make sure to read the instructions. You don't flash it like a rom. Don't forget to remove it from the sd after you're done or you'll regret it (briefly).
So the link on that page for 1111 didn't work. The 4shared page wasn't available.I couldn't find it on Google since all the links were for a multiupload page that directed me to some other site. I downloaded 1.09.01.0312 instead, read the instructions, and got confused. What is the Android SDK folder? I went into hboot and updated that way. I called my girlfriend, who had the biggest problem with my phone call quality, and she said it was extremely better. So hey, it worked! Problem solved!
Thanks for your help, I appreciated it.
You cant change EVRC in an AOSP ROM - but you can switch back to a stock ROM (Sense 2.1) and any changes you make will stick.
Even if you ask your phone to use the EVRC-B codec, there is no guarantee that the tower will process the request, as that codec uses more bandwidth. Dropped calls and such can (and probably will) occur because of the fight for bandwidth.
On the stock Verizon ROM dial ##778# - enter six zeros and you will find the menu to make changes. Be sure to commit modifications.
Hello everyone,
A quick question I'd like to pose to everyone about Android 4.2.2 Roms out there. Is anyone else having this issue, does anyone know what may be causing this issue?
I have flashed a couple 4.2.2 roms (jellybam and liquid smooth) and I have tried two visual voicemail programs. An apk of the normal sprint visual voicemail (worked with liquid smooth 4.2.1). And Google voice. Each for whatever reason will only use speakerphone for output. Both programs I have went into the settings to make triple sure that the normal ear speaker is selected as default. And even when toggling while playing a voicemail, the output doesn't change. I don't see anything in the phone settings relating to this issue.
Any ideas comments or questions for me?
Thank you!

Look up sprint VVM for cm10 and you'll find it

Happened to have one on drop box. Working fine for me.
Not all ROMs have this issue, but yes, on Google Voice, some ROMs play out through the loudspeaker.
This occurs, for sure, on both $MyName's AOKP and task650's AOKP, as well as a handful of other ones that I've tried. PACMAN does not have the issue, nor does ParanoidAndroid, last I checked.
I've accepted the issue and stuck with AOKP myself.

yeah I've done that I've also done that method where you send a voicemail message to [email protected] and apparently that gets rid of it for some people but nothing worked for me sadly.

SPRINT GS3 FAQ
I can call people and receive calls on my phone but no one can hear me and I can't hear anyone. I don't even hear a tone when it's dialing sometimes. I'll call someone and they'll answer and it will just be silent and vice versa on both ends of the call, I'll receive a call and it will be totally silent. I have already gone thru all the troubleshooting steps I can think of even going as far as to have my carrier send me another model of the same phone and getting a new sim card they have made many tickets on this issue and have deemed its not network related. Below I have attached 3 log cats of the issue. Sorry they were to big to upload to XDA directly. So here are 3 links to the downloads.The issue is happening on stock non rooted knox isn't tripped

What ROM are you using?
What mods are you using..
Please be more specific..
I was using the Hulk Kernel on the Google Play Edition ROM..
and I was playing with the Faux Sound mod, and it killed all my sound..
Uninstalling the mod corrected my sound issues.. It may not be your issue, but that was my example..
I suggest flashing to STOCK..
BTW those links are ENCRYPTED!
If you can use a video call app like Tango or Skype and you have sound it will most likely be the sound chip not connecting to the modem and using WiFi for voice /video transmission.
Time for a replacement phone.
