So during a phone call if i push speakerphone i can hear the person on the other side but they can't hear me, if i switch back to regular mode they can hear me again.
anyone have any idea what might be causing this issue?
running Wind 3.5 and the rom in my sig v7.
i'm not sure if there are two mics in this phone but i don't think so.
i have read that noise cancellation can cause this issue but i can't find any settings for it, any help would be greatly appreciated.
any suggestions at all? i'm using wind kernel should i try reverting to stock? does anyone know what handles speaker/mic functions? rom or kernel or both?
i tried flashing an older version of wind kernel no luck, i'm hesitant to flash back to stock rom tho...
nobody has any suggestions?

Hi all,
I'm using a Galaxy Nexus on Rogers in Canada.
I'm having trouble with the bottom microphone being very quiet and muffled.
Unfortunately I'm leaning towards this being a hardware issue because:
The volume is normal and clear when recording a video and when on speakerphone (which I understand uses the top microphone)
The volume is normal when using a headset
The volume is quiet and muffled when recording in "Voice Recorder" which uses the bottom microphone.
But I thought I'd check if anyone else has had this problem before and has any ideas for a solution other a full wipe (which i'll reluctantly try next) or returning the phone.
Thanks,
-Peter
i have similar problem. everything is fine on speakerphone or during video recording. but when it's a call or audio recording it's just pops, cracks, noise.
I have had this happen a few times on calls. If I reboot my phone it goes away. It hasn't happened in a month or so. I'm running AOKP build 29 at the moment.

I have been getting this problem on the last four builds of AOKP.
People always complain that they can hardly understand when I speak.

I've got exactly same problem... it's annoying, I have this phone for over 6 months and was hoping there will be a fix for it... it also seems to be only a case when talking on the phone.
when recording all seems fine... so it must be a software problem or smth... i'm looking for a solution for a long time, checked lot's of ROMS... starting to be unbearable for me and especially for ppl on the other side

Just bumping this topic.
Did any of you manage to fix this. I have replaced the entire usb/microphone assembly on the phone from a new part, and i still get muffled voice calls through the main mic. Works fine on speakerphone or secondary mic.
I have tried many stock variations, and am attempting to revert to my stock stock telstra yakjuxw build (trying to find a copy atm).
Bump the only thing I have to possibly is that it appears more frequently with HTC DNA and landlines when I call feature phones I'm OK.

I fix my problem. The hole for the microphone is very small, and In my case, it was totally "dirty". So I just cleaned it, and all works

I use toothpick, maybe this way is not very smart but... Using toothpicks I just cleaned microphone hole. In my case microphone hole was fully packed. I also find thread on reddit about this problem, one of answer is:
I believe I may have a fix for future users who search through this forum. I read that cleaning out your headphone port can resolve this issue. If there is lint or anything in there, then it tricks the phone into thinking that the aux is plugged in and your voice won't be picked up the the mic, but the non-existent headphones. Turning on speakerphone re-routes the mic from the aux to the handset mic.

Is there any kikkat rom available for lg-g-pro without "speaker issue" ?
Let me explain: when i make a call and bring the phone to my ear the speaker mutes. Also there are some posts with the same issue in Viber.
I've tried several CM-bases roms (10.2, 11) and all of them have the speaker problem in Skype.
Any suggestions ? Stock looks awful after glossy KK =(
plz suggest me a perfect custom rom kitkat based im doing it for the first time i need advice
Have you tried the CandyKat rom? Its very good.. and I dont see it has any problem with sound..

that's odd because skype runs with no problems, but i'm getting speaker/mic problems with regular calls when headphones plugged in, and with CSipSimple app.
Thanks for help anyway.

I'm still fighting the in call low-volume mic problem as well. Apparently is not uncommon among other cm11 builds. I have yet to find a rom where its working properly. I tried downloading a few sound recorder apps and they record mic volume just fine - so it appears to be constrained to in call usage.
I also tried modifying an xml doc at the system level, as some had success on the nexus 4 with the same issue, but no luck for me.
LG-D855 here on UK Orange (EE) network. I get quite bad noise on voice calls. I think I am clear to the other party but I can hear a bad static sound whenever they talk, it is quite irritating.
Call quality is clear on bluetooth, and and when on loud speaker, it only happens when using the normal internal speaker.
Has anyone else experienced this? Since it is not present across all speaker modes I think it is not a network issue and more likely hardware - I am wondering if I have a faulty handset?

Thanks that is useful. I wondered if it was an EE issue as I had problems with their hd voice codec on a different android handset. But I have just done a lot of testing and it definitely is only when on the normal internal speaker, which really makes me think it is a hardware fault.
Will phone CPW and get it swapped.
Uh, how to unroot?
I'm on 3 and the call quality is excellent, I can now use the phone in places where I couldn't with my s3

Don't worry about it there not going to know about if it's rooted just uninstall supersu or superuser which ever you have
Mine has had good call quality on the hd voice codec, but it drops to a lower codec really quickly during a call, not sure why. and that seams to have a little static. Cant remember if this was what calls were normally like on my old phone though.

Hmmmm. I tested again today and the noise is all gone: calls are crystal clear. I really don't understand what is going on, or whether it is software or hardware related.
I suppose it is best to swap it out before I have had it for too long, just in case?

Useful, thanks.
I have the same issue but only on GSM calls. Weirdly whe. I use Skype the calls are crystal clear which therefore eliminates hardware issue unless it's the GSM attend interfering with the earpiece.
Any ideas what I should do?

How do you adjust the voice codec?

I don't think you can. The operator will alter it according to signal conditions AFAIK.
Just to complete this thread: I have swapped the phone at CPW under their 28 day guarantee and so far the new handset doesn't exhibit this problem. Will update in a few days time.

You dont. Its automatically selected by the network/phone. Mine seams to start off with clear sound then quickly drops to a lower quality and never recovers for that call.

I had the same issue in Slovenia, I changed phone for new one, but the problem is still here. I find out that I hear that noise only when phone is on 2G/GSM.When I switch to 3G/WCDMA only the sound is perfect, also when I use Skype. Did you try to switch on 3G/WCDMA only?
Yeh I tried switching but same issue. I exchange thr phone, no problem with the new one
Hi all, I have a similar problem but the other way around, people that I call hear a lot of static, but ONLY if I am powering the phone. If I connect the phone to a USB port of my PC there is static too, but less. BTW I call using a wired headset.
Other problem, the LG stock headset muffles my voice and people can't hear me well, I had to use a Samsung headset.
Last problem, when I make calls without headset I hear in the phone the sound that you get when placing a phone next to a speaker...
Does anybody have similar problems?
Needless to say I am very disappointed.
BTW, no audio hissing when playing music via Spotify

I have the exact same problem. Have you found a way to solve this? The problem only occurs when I use a wired headset and plug in my charger. No charger plugged in, no noise as per the person on the other end of the call.
kentii, I bought a wireless charger to charge my phone, in which case the problem doesn't appear. I also bought a bluetooth dongle for my desktop to replace the USB connection. I spend a lot of time on the phone and like using a wired headset. I use MyPhoneExplorer to dial from my PC
I have been having some problems with the front speaker lately. Most of the time when I get an incoming call or make a call no sound comes through the front speaker and have to put the loudspeaker on to hear anything.
Has anyone else had the same problems? How to fix this?

Are you using Vanilla AOSP/Code Aurora rom? If not, then sorry, your speaker is broken, you need to replace it.

First i thought it was broken, but some times it worked and some times not, i don't know why it's happening.
Recently I have been getting very bad sound when calling someone.
I can hear the callee perfectly but they can barely hear me, I sound like a 'fish in the water' or with a very big 'echo'.
This has been the case after updating to Lollipop.
Hi,
i have the same issue...
i cant use the handsfree or microphone as listeners report they can hardly hear me....all since the lollipop update...

I Am Assuming you are using Stock Lollipop FW from Sony
Head to Settings>Call
Enable Microphone Noise Suppression, Set the Equalizer to Bright and enable the Speaker Voice Enhancement
Also make sure you are on Max Volume when In-calls

Nope, still stable, I tested it but the audio was clear.
Problem is that this issue comes and go's randomly, so all I can do at this moment is wait...
None of the suggestions described worked for me. This bugged me so much I was forced to run to RR rom.. Problem solved but I miss Sony's great battery life ??
I have the same problem.
Only the equaliser was different (normal), I've changed it to bright and will see.
Don't you think it is a problem with radio reception ? I'm not sure but I think I have not the same number of bars than before. I haven't got an other 4G phone to compare.
Equaliser doesn't work for me.
I have changed prefered network, it was 4g prefered. I've changed to 3g. It seems to be working.
Can somebody try ?
I solved my problem during the calls when i unchecked the improvement of voice
If you have tried all the other options and still not working but you have v4a sound mod installed, this might help - http://forum.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/help/viper4android-deactivates-mic-t3124764
I had same problem after update to lollipop and try everything mentioned before and nothing helped. Then I low down speaker volume ( volume key down) while call is active and that worked for me. I suppose that lollipop have some problem with duplexer. Level of sound in speaker is litle low but at least caller can understand me normally.

Greetings, I hope you are fine.
I'll just let you know my experience with that, I had a similar one to yours. Instead my voice was stuttering and ghostly, like something came out of Paranormal activities. xD
The only solution I found to this was that it was a problem with the hardware itself, IE. the mic of your phone. Maybe you wanna give your phone to the warranty company and see what they say about it. In my case, they fixed it and it's working fine now.
I hope I helped
Yours.
