[Q] Terrible distorsion when using the 'phone' app - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, guys...
I started learning about rooting android phones from here.....amazing forum.
Anyway!
The problem I'm having is terrible audio distorsion(think of 8bit sound from the NES days) when making calls. Once every 6-7 calls are fine, but the rest of them are terrible. I have to note that this applies to sound coming out of either the earpiece OR through earphones.
When using Viber, things are fine. The same goes for Skype.
I read somewhere on this forum that the source of the problem is the satellite signal being too loud...lowering the device's volume does not solve the issue, of course.
Any tips on how one might solve this?
Thank you in advance!

U mean it happens one every 6 or 7 calls? Or vice versa?
Cos I have this distortion like at least one or twice every 6 to 7 calls,it only happens on cellular calls, nothing removes it but hanging up and re dialing
My friend's note 2 (exact same as mine) has this same problem, it's frustrating after a while.
If anyone knows anything more on this let us know please.
Thx

The thing stopped happening for now. Yay!
But it worked once every 6-7 calls. I had terrible distortion the rest of the time.
I'm still curious to have a solution for this...

It started happening again, on and off...and I notice it happening only when calling some people...

mic randomly stops working

hi there
im a new user to the rhodium phone
been using it for a few days now and ive noticed that when im on a call after a few mins into the call, the other person cannot hear me
has anyone else had this problem?
cheers
Mic comes and goes
Yes i had this problem with my Tytn2 and the TouchPro2.
Not sure why?
Is there a software tweak or cab we can use to fix this?
I noticed on the nexus one it only happens when noise cancelling is on. When I have a conversation or use voice actions. If I record a video though it works perfectly

Microphone not working anymore

Hello everyone,
the microphone of my Note II does not really work anymore.
When on an active phone call, the other phone does not hear anything, only a minimal staitc which is pretty normal.
Also voice recording does not record anything.
The only working audio I get is when using the camcorder to shoot a video.
Here it seems also a lot quiter than it was before.
Restarting the phone does not help at all.
Did anyone else have that problem before?
My last idea would be to do a hard reset and hope for the best...
Best regards.

how about using ung headset? can the other line hear you? try using voice recorder and see if you can record your voice. if so, then it's a hardware issue. time to visit your sammy service center.
what happened before you lost it?
Hi,
Hope you are not keeping your little finger over the mic, covering it up.
Cheers!!!

Microphone issues

I've been having microphone issues ever since I got my samsung gs3 a few weeks ago. People tell me that my phone sounds like it's on mute or that suddenly I'm faded away because people will say "hello? Are you still there?" Meanwhile I can still hear them fine. It happens on almost every phone call. However, when I use the speaker or my bluetooth headset then it works fine without problems. My phone is not on mute and I have turned of noise reduction and the option to mute phone when turning phone upside down.
Is this a known or common issue or does my phone need to be replaced through samsung warranty? I searched this forum and several other sites, but it doesn't seem like there is a fix.
Thanks.

[Q] Problem Curing Calls - Mic

This annoying issue is really creating a big problem for me, even pushing me to switch to other company from Sony, of which I am a loyal user from last 6-7 years.
I had ION with this same problem, now i upgraded to ZL but again the same problem persist, problem is as below.
During Calls, mic suddenly stops working and i keep yelling 'hello'...'hello' but the other person can hardly hear me, I cut the call, try to call again,...and its working fine...again after some calls it happens again, this problem is sooooo random that I am not able to find a pattern..
I work in a telecom industry and have to use the very basic feature of any phone, that is "calling" very much and I just love Xperia phones,
I don't understand why the same problem is happening again with a very different phone.
One more thing, when I use my MW600 handsfree, it works all fine, problem is only when I use Phone Mic.
today I changed my Sim card and will check it it helps...
Is there anybody facing the same issue...any resolution, pls pls..help me.
Sorry, Pls read the title as - Problem During Calls - Mic
Sorry, Pls read the title as - Problem During Calls - Mic
Try disabling the noise supression option in settings> call settings menu

Ya same here, many people have reported this.. got a phone worth 36000 RS cant even make proper calls. Today i am taking this to service. hope it will be repaired/replaced.
I've had this issue happen to me as well while I was using my Xperia T. It lasted a good 30 min, I was able to hear people but they couldn't hear me even after several reboots and a factory reset. The problem went away on it's own, I have no idea what provoked it or how it got fixed. Now I use the Xperia ZL and still haven't encountered this problem. :fingers-crossed:

I too had this - and unmaskedfalesh's suggestion above of removing noise suppression *seems* to have worked. However, this is not a long term solution and I should be able to use this phone without removing this option for improved call quality.

Redmi note 5 pro microphone problems

Hi there,
So i bought redmi note 5 global version which seems to be identical to note 5 pro. Problem is during skype calls and even phone calls the recipient can not hear me clearly most of the time. Sound becomes muffled and incomprehensible, person can hear me but can't make out what i am saying. It does not happen constantly, issue comes and goes. I am on 9.6.4 MIUI version.
Does anyone experience the same issue? Could it be firmware issue or charging pcb microphone issue. I don't feel like dealing with warranty since i have sensitive data on my phone, i spent ages setting everything up and it would probably take long time to get it back. I was thinking to replace microphone pcb myself since they can be purchased for 10 buckaroos and replacement it is easy and straightforward.
Does anyone have some insight into the problem or has dealt with it themselves.
Cheers
miui 10 is out
please upgrade and try
So i upgraded to MIUI 10 and issue persists, doing some reading it seems during voice call apps like skype top noise canceling mic goes bananas and messes up sound for recipient.
I feel changing bottom mic pcb won't do anything. There were posts about disabling noise canceling but for some reason those posts are taken down.
Does anyone know a fix other than throwing my phone against the wall. I need to use skype a lot, i've gotten used to my lil redmi, would be shame to buy smth else.

Have you tried this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...gisk-fix-bad-camcorder-audio-quality-t3828711
It fixes the static background noise in recorded videos,but it might work in skype too
I have the same issues like Dzessi.
Mic is an garbage, unusable. Allmost all the time is not working properly, expecially in games or apps (voice chat) is low, high, diatorcions, radio white sharping noise, echo. I ve tryd everything on YouTube an papa Google, nothing solve it. I receive it in September as my bd gift, and I can't enjoy it, so frustrating I never write so many mesages on apps since I ve got an Java phone, nobody wants to voice chat anymore, (my brother recorded me and send me the voice message on whatsapp) well, I didn't voice chat whit me allsow in that horrible noise. If someone can help me solve this I ll be so happ. thanks in advance
I also have the same problem. Some say that some of you talk nice we do not hear you. Does anyone know the way to overcome it?
