hello I am having some problems with 4.2.1 I am under rogers and when I flash the aokp it works but when I make calls and I use the speaker phone it is quiet I cant hear ppl at all and when I put the stock one in its louders on the speaker phone and the head speaker is there a fix or am I doing something wrong
I believe it is a 4.2 issue, so no matter what rom you are running, volume will be low. Sounds like it might be fixed shortly. Will just need our wonderful developers to incorporate into their roms.

You should try and read the OP of my thread. You would then realize that that issue was fixed.
Update to today's latest build. The low, in call volume has been fixed. Also, please read the change logs that accompany each release as they often address issues, such as the one you've mentioned.
now how about the led to flash I turned it all on and it doesn't flash at all and I cant seem o get the lte to work

hi,
i have a rhodium with windows mobile 6.1 stock rom.
Does anyone know how i can change the volume of the microphone for telephone calls?
I have the strange problem that people complain that they can't hear me very loud. When i reflash (hard reset doen't work all the time) the microphone volume is ok again.
Can someone please help me with this problem?
no one has any idea how to resolve this issue?

Does your ROM have a setting for automatic gain control? That adjusts the mike based on ambient noise. On some of my former phones I've had to turn it off or the device lowers the mike sensitivity.
hi, thanks for the reply,
When that option is turned off i can't be heard at all.
i'v got same problem whit my phone when i flashed nand cm7 on it.
is'nt it related to the rom?
is it possible that the flashing changes the other settings of radio or ...
the microphone is working but volume is low and i have to yelling on it to talk with people!

Most volume issues are related to the rom.
Flashing the rom can change the radio, but may not. It will tell you what gets changed if you watch the screen during the flashing.
Microphones do fail. If all roms are having the same issue then you probably have a hardware issue.
Flash back to stock. Then if you are not having issues try asking for help in the thread for the rom you want to flash. If you are still having issues then it is 99% chance that it is a hardware issue.

This.
My gf's phone (completely different device) had a similar issue, and it was definitely not software. I looked, the mic port was clogged with whoknowswhat. Took a pin and carefully picked the stuff out. Mic works great now

Rainbows and magic sprinkles. They get stuck everywhere.
I've seen several threads about the problem of the call issues, When first the call echo now the bad quality sound on CM and MIUI..
Devs I love your roms. they are amazing and I know that you all probably had tried to solve the call issue once it for all. Even though you make magic to the call issues, it still not gone completely.
There might be other users like me that love roms. special if we want to run JB or MIUI or any other than Stock TW. but the call issues are taking us from using these amazing roms..
I personal am so jealous because I love to use miui on my phone or JB but everytime I do my wife calls me and boom I have to flash back to stock TW because of these issues. I think you all know that people you are talking to is the ones who cant hear you or have an echo...
Now some say the that problem is hardware some say its drivers I dont know what it is and I'm sure you ''DEVS'' know what it is causing it.
My question here is wether we are gonna get rid of this issue once it for all or are we close to it or there is nothing to do.
I know Eugene have done wonderful on getting it fix but although in my end the issue still comes...
P.S some say that problem is on one of the mics ''top one to be exactly'' is there a way to just shut it off,
Then again Im not trying to flame anybody this is something that just gets on my nerves. Now if you have some sarcasm to say keep it to your self Xda for me is like a family. and we all try to help each other
If someone knew how to fix it, don't you think it'd be fixed?

That's what I was thinking
just like any variant in the Galaxy S Line. There is no sure fire fix, because these roms are built off the SGSII and ported (officially/unofficially) to our's and other variants. the T-Mobile SGS 1 had the same microphone issues. These are driver related and won't be properly fixed without Device source information related the OS in question.
the easiest "temp" fix is to mute/unmute after recieving a phone call. This will generally fix the issue for the duration of that phone call.
for future reference though if your gonna go samsung, and plan on being a rom flasher, I would suggest you invest in an International Device as they recieve updates quicker, and tend to have there sources available (which means smoother more stable roms)
even the SGSIII is going to run into issues due to the chipset variation from the world version (dual core vs quad core)
on that note though, now that 4.0.4 has been officially released for the Hercules, we should see Small issues like this addressed in the aosp 4.0.4 for our device.
I see you showed interest in Jellybean, i'll be frank on this. Unless we get JB officially from samsung for our SGSII there will never be a "perfect" fix to the microphone issue. (maybe a possibility if the skyrocket were to get JB or even the Sprint Variant) but the 4'3 inch SGSII is seperate hardware therefore drivers aren't compatible.
If you are referring to ICS, the call quality issues were resolved long ago.
If you are using JB AOKP / CM, make sure you have enabled noise suppression within your call settings. Go to your dialer, hit the menu button and scroll down to noise suppression.
With that being said, I have no problems with call quality using the latest AOKP JB ROMs though YRMV.

ICS hasnt been fixed all the way.. The issue are still on Miui and CM9 although it is better but not gone completely.
I even been having problems where I have to speak louder so the other person can hear me on stock rom, also I noticed that every now and then this issue comes on ICS Miui. sometimes I have to hung up and call back.
Greetings,
First post here, I hope this is the appropriate section for it. I have google'd and forum searched extensively and have yet to find a thread dedicated soley to this issue. Many people have reported it within various ROM threads only to have the next poster state he doesn't have the issue and the problem get buried in a 500 page thread.
Having gotten my feet wet with the stock ICS ROM that came with my Galaxy S3, I was happy to enter the world of custom ROM's and flashed CM 10 M2 as my first custom ROM. I was very much enjoying CM 10 when I received my first phone call after switching. Being an exclusive speakerphone user, I answered the call and enabled the speakerphone as usual. The caller stated they couldn't understand me as there was an echo on the line. I turned speakerphone off and they stated the problem was fixed. After finishing the call, I called my cell phone from my landline and enabled the speakerphone on my S3, then walked to the other side of the house to minimize any close vicinity interference. When I spoke into my landline I could hear myself echo making a conversation almost impossible. I disabled the speakerphone on my S3 and the problem went away.
I restored my stock ICS ROM and was unable to duplicate the problem. I assumed the bug was specific to CM 10 and tried AOKP JB milestone 1 and had the same issue. Today I tried Task and Ktoonsez's latest AOKP JB 4.12 ROM and The Collective's AOCP ROM with the same results. All the problem ROM's were JB builds so perhaps it's a JB related issue. I will be trying a touchwiz based JB ROM next to see if I still have the issue.
I think alot of people assume when they read this bug report they blow it off as they can't actually hear the echo unless the person on the other line reports it. Maybe alot of people don't use speakerphone? I don't think it's a universal problem or more people would be reporting this but it's not intermittent either. I can reproduce it 100 percent of the time and it goes away when I recover to stock. I also removed my case when testing this and it had no effect. If there is a workaround or fix for this I would be very thankful to learn of it as I very much enjoyed the custom ROM's but I just can't give up speakerphone. Thanks in advance! :fingers-crossed:

So today I tried newest builds of Parandoid Android, and Liquid Smooth with the same result. Pretty much all the popular ROM's in the "AT&T Galaxy S III Original Android Development" contain this bug, I'm assuming because they share alot of code. Seems like they base alot of work off of Cyanogen Mod so perhaps that's where it lies, I don't know.
What I do know is I installed DrewGaren's Jellybean 747 Milestone 7 ROM which is Touchwiz based and the speakerphone echo went away. So my stock ICS ROM and this one do not contain the issue but every other JB based ROM I have tried does. I don't have the knowledge to troubleshoot this issue I just wanted to share what I've found and hopefully someone with the knowledge can help track it down.
I do prefer the CM 10 style ROM's over the stock experience but I can't live without speakerphone so hopefully this issue gets resolved, thanks for listening!
I have the problem too. I bought my S3 3 weeks ago and within a few days rooted it and installed the latest CM10 nightly. The first time I used the speakerphone I became aware of the echo problem with the it. So I switched back to the stock rom and the problem was gone, so I knew it wasn't a hardware problem with my phone. I've tried every nightly CM10 rom including the recently released stable build. I also tried the latest official AOKP as well as Task and Koonsez's latest build and they all produce the echo.
My buddy suggested I try the black jelly rom, and that's the only one I've been able to use that doesn't have any echo, but it's a touchwiz/Samsung based build. It's not bad, but it doesn't support wifi tethering and it's not as smooth as CM or AOKP. I really want to run CM but can't live without speakerphone.
On a side note, I rooted and rom'd my wife's and friends S3 the exact same way as mine and neither of theirs have the speakerphone echo problem. I suspect there are some hardware differences with Samsung phones. Maybe different parts suppliers that aren't playing properly with the drivers in the CM10 build.
From my tests this bug sounds like the mic is turned up max when speakerphone is on so it's super sensitive. Also, the volume level doesn't have any effect on the speakerphone volume whether you raise or lower it.
Really hope the dev's can fix this so I can run CM or AOKP once and for all.
On a final note, my phone is blue, while both my wife's and my buddy's are white. I don't want to conclude that the white phones don't have the speakerphone echo problem with CM roms. Hope it's just a coincidence.

thanks for pointing that out. looks like it's not really a popular issue, or popular enough to get them focussed on fixing it
anyone have any thoughts as to why identical phones don't behave the same, ie some S3's have the echo and some don't? I have 3 days left (30 day purchase return policy) to exchange my phone, and am contemplating getting it swapped to see if I get lucky with another unit which won't have an echo problem running CM10 or AOKP.

I also have this problem. using baked 8. with kt747 and its awesome!! They seem to be aware and working on it. tried a different kernel but no dice. Ive been in every setting cant seem to get rid of it. my phone is white so its not that. hope someone can figure this out soon. tw roms dont have this problem and I like the aosp feel.It would be nice to know if anyone even an idea of the cause, maybe the users could check files and find something.
I confirm that I LOVE these ROMs, but absolutely need a working speakerphone too.
Some other thread said something about changing the radio to ULVA3 or something like that... not sure if anyone had any luck with that.
Anyways, thought I'd break my lurked tendencies and post for my 1st time here.
Love my GS3!
So I've been very happily using the Samsung-based ROM called Devils Reject since Dec 2012, and have been on V7 since it came out a few months ago and have been really happy with it. It's pretty smooth and stable, has great battery life, has tethering, custom toggles, various battery icons, AOKP lockscreen, power button menus, plus a bunch of other stuff I can't remember, and of course, there are no speakerphone problems.
But I've always been curious about giving CM another chance with CM10.1 and especially with the latest RC2 out.
Does anyone know if the speakerphone bug still exists with it?

I have the speakerphone echo bug on my Samsung Galaxy Note with CM10.1 RC2. This has happening on earlier versions as well, but I thought a reset/wipe fresh install would fix it. Would like to stay on CM10.1 but I really depend on my speakerphone.
People have been complaining about not being able to hear me during calls. I had someone call my home phone from my cell and the voice sounds extremely muffled and quiet; however, regular voice recorder through a separate apps works fine.
I'm running the latest radio (UVMC6). This problem started while using the ParanoidAndroid ROM. I have since switched to HellyBean but that has not fixed the problem. Toggling noise supression doesn't seem to fix the issue either...any ideas?
only thing i can recommend is try a clean install format system in mounts and storage, and wipe data factory reset, wipe cache/dalvik ,and try to flash the ROM again to see if the problem is still there you pretty much have tried everything which is good. do you remember any ROM where this issue was not occurring ???

I was using SlimStar before PA and the first few build of PA seemed fine as well. Started happening about a month ago. I did a clean install going from PA to Helly. I'll try it again and see if it works.
Also the new PA roms have been using custom kernels , PAC is really picky the way it boots up and if you don't have the MC6 radio and a certain kernel sometimes wont boot i know this has nothing to do with your issue but just thought I'd let you know. and is just muffled or literally really low volume ??have you tried with headphones to see if this problem is there ??
Seems to happen randomly to some on 4.2.2 roms.
Only thing I can suggest is TW 4.1.2 roms.

Yup. Bad microphone? Get any water in it? Or a carrier issue...bad signal? I assume you have newest radio...or it wouldn't work at all.
Did you try a couple 4.1.2 roms to be sure. Maybe even try stock....or ics even. Just to be sure.
Did you go into phone settings and check enable noise surpression.

Guys, I have this one major issue with audio in my phone and its the rarest of the problems! The whole audio output stops completely. By completely, i mean even the receiver sound. completely dumb! cant hear anything if someone calls me. This has been occurring since a month or so. I am running on Cyanogenmod 11 M8. Even if i restart the phone its stays the same way. And all of sudden, randomly, the audio back again, working properly. when it goes dumb it stays like that for 5 6 hours. it happens quite often. this is throwing me off totally.
Device : Galaxy S3 SGH i747 - At&t
This problem happens:
1) when i am on call, suddenly it goes mute.
2) when the phone is kept idle for more than 3 4 hrs. So every morning its dumb when i wake up.
These are what I've tried and what I've found out:
1) I reverted back to stock 4.3 to check if its the problem with audio hardware. But in stock it worked perfectly and flawlessly. no issues there. SO its definitely got to do with cyanogenmod.
2) I flashed ktoonsez kernel on CM 11 M8, to check if its kernel problem. But its happening again. SO its not the problem with kernel.
3) I recently found out that if I wipe the cache from recovery, audio is back working. SO its definitely something in the cache thats messing with the audio. Some app may be.
this thread can be referred for more details on this issue:
http://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/81373-audio-stops-working-from-time-to-time/
and I dont know what else to do now. Ive tried uninstalling all the apps that access audio. But the problem still persists.
I really really need help fixing this one. PLEASE HELP.

I've had that issue a month or two ago but haven't seen it on the latest ROMs. I'm not sure what causes it but I would suggest you flash another ROM if CM messes up with your sound (or another version of CM).

Hi, Thanks for the response. I personally like CM and the extent of customization it offers. I actually dont mind switching cuz sound is bigger deal. Would you mind suggesting ROMs that are similar or comes closer to CM and also good at the same time? which ROM are you on?

Hey it got fixed in the latest nightly ( cm-11-20140721-NIGHTLY ). I had put it in cyanogenmod forum, I guess they read the issue and fixed it. Audio is perfectly fine now! Feels so great to use cyanogenmod again.
Thank you cyanogenmod!
I have this issue too but it doesn't have to do with the audio disappearing; it's simply gone from the get-go after clean flashing a ROM.
As you've said, stock FW and ROM works fine, but anything custom will just totally break it. Seems to be a very isolated issue with the phone itself, I've searched all over for people with the same problem but could never find anything.

Oh. It used to happen to me once or twice. No audio when I install CM, after it boots the first time. I think you should check the new nightly of 7/23. Looks like its fixed. They've fixed a number of audio issues over the last few nightlies. And I've always preferred CM over any other roms, so I've no idea about why it isn't working on other roms.

Thanks for the suggestion, I may as well give it a try since most everything else I've tried has had the same issue.
edit:
Clean flashed latest CM nightly, sound worked for around 2 minutes, then stopped when I plugged headphones in. Rebooted, got it to work via speakers again but then DSP manager force closed and left me without sound.
Rebooted into recovery, cleared cache, still no dice.
Going to try another clean flash to see if I can get sound to last a while longer.
edit 2: It seems to be screwed completely now, no sound after install + reboot.
