I have a One V on Virgin Mobile and the call quality is kind of warped and digital sounding. I'm running SlimBean (android 4.1). Is there anything that can be done to fix this?

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 have same problem, and I can not fix it. It was in stock Android 4.2.2. I try different ROM on Android 4.2.2, and 4.1.2 but no result.
Hey everyone,

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.

I've noticed that in Sense ROMs that the audio of VOIP calls such as with Skype or Kakao Chat sounds low-quality and muffled. I too sound muffled to the other party. I noticed this in stock 4.1.2, ViperX 4.0.5 and MagioROM R3. Tried the latest Alex-V kernel in ViperX and MagioROM, no dice.
I have never had such an issue with AOSP-based ROMs.
Has anyone else encountered this and is it fixable?
I have found the same error in sense 5 4.2, but if you use a earphone, you shouldnt get the sound muffled to the other party, thats the only solution that i have found in stock roms

Seems like a bit of an oversight for HTC. I've switched back to CM, as VOIP calls are something I do often and I don't always have a headset on me.
Thanks.
Hey guys!
The outgoing voice quality, so the quality the person you call hears, is really bad with my P6. It sounds very tinny and distorted even when I have full connection...do some of you noticed that as well? Is there maybe a way to increase the quality?
I´m using the Hyd52Rom and the standard Dialer App.
Thanks

I think it might have to do with your phone service provider, I don't think my phone has the same issue.
Sent from my P6-U06
I think this can´t be the reason because with my old phone (HTC One S) I had no problems at all. The quality is really bad though...
SOLVED
Although nobody else seems to have the same problem, I found a solution for it:
Just deinstall the VIPER equalizer by opening it, klicking on options and klick on deinstall driver.
That solved the bad voice quality.
Now the called people hear my voice very loud and clear.
I bought a LG G3 which was on the Three network from eBay. I'm getting voice call issues so I'm hoping I can get a generic rom which might help?

What issues are you getting? Is it crackling and static in the earpiece but not when on speaker or bluetooth?

Yes exactly that issue, but only when on GSM calls. Not while using skype
AND thanks very much for the link. I'm downloading the vodafone one now. Maybe there is an audio codec or network issue? Driving me nuts. I can send the phone back to the seller but then I'm without a phone

Are you getting high quality voice calls for a few seconds and then its dropping to lower quality? or it it just straight crackling and static right from the start of the call?

Hmmm, would be interested to hear whether the software fixes it, but I doubt it. I just swapped my handset because it had the same symptoms. I reckon it was a badly mounted speaker, but then if yours was the same problem then you'd expect it to happen on skype as well.

How bad was the static? I'm trying to figure out if im having a similar problem of if it is just the networks poor audio codec.

Software didn't do a thing. And yes, I can't understand why it doesn't impact it during skype calls.
I have had a few calls an it sometimes goes away, so maybe this is to do with the HD voice codec that networks are rolling out. Vodafone might have it's own codec which is not on the device.
BTW, the link on the site for Vodafone UK was the Italian 3 one again!

Ah ok, and that's on on the earpeice? Mines a network codec problem then i think because i don't get that kind of buzzing sound. That sounds almost as if the speaker cant handle the volume?

Yes that's max volume through the earpiece but when you lower the volume and your ear is next to the phone you can still hear it. Almost like an buzz echo. It doesn't happen on skype calls.
Which network are you on?
I'm starting to think it might be a Vodafone network issue.

The way vodafone seam to handle the hd voice codec is it will use it if your on 3g (4g will switch to 3g as they dont have voice over 4g yet), but if the signal goes down during a call or fluctuates (no idea on the thresholds for this) it will drop to a lower quality codec/network type to maintain the call. But it only goes down not up, so regaining a good signal during a call will wont switch you back to the hd voice codec. i might phone them tomorrow about it and see if that is indeed what is happening to me.
But that doesnt sound like the issue your having if the video you posted is what all your calls sound like.

One thing to consider about not having the problem with skype. I do know that other phones (Nexus 4 for example) had problems with audio if your plunged in a headset (earbuds+mic) which wouldn't work properly with gsm calls but would work perfectly fine with voip. Its possible viop isn't affecting whatever problem the speaker has but the speaker may still have a fault.

Is that using the earpiece or speaker? It seems pretty loud for the earpiece!
But yes, mine sounded quite a lot like that.
ok it's gotta go back
I went over to my neighbour's who has a Three sim, same issue.

And yes, it does sound bloody loud for a earpiece so I'm wondering if that's the fault as it doesn't get that loud with skype

Hi,
I recently got a Xperia Z1 compact for my girlfriend. However, the sound quality is HORRIBLE during skype when the camera is on.
If the camera is off, the quality is fine. But my voice is put on a loudspeaker, some kind of noise reduction RUINS her voice quality. I can't even hear the other side when the phone is 30 cm from her face. How on earth is this possible? What kind of noise reduction is this?
Could you tell me whether installing a custom rom would solve the problem? If so, what rom do you use (suggest)?
Thank you all in advance

Sounds like a problem of the bandwidth from your internet provider. I think, turning on the video cam needs more bandwidth. So, you might be already at the limitation of your bandwidth and the sound will be compressed (which sounds ugly) when you turn on the cam.
Did you try skyping at the same W-LAN network?
So, I'm on Stock KItKat and don't have any problems with skype and sound quality, also with camera turned on.

Thank you for your response. The internet is pretty fast so that is not a problem In fact, on PC everything works well with the same internet. It's very strange. I think it's a hardware problem then
Have the same Problem too. Have to speak very loud over Skype. I used my headphones the last call and it was a little bit better.

I see. I saw some threads about this. So, many people experience the same issue
Does anyone have a clue on how to resolve this?
It's overcompressed on Skype's end, not a phone issue. Drop an email to skype or rate them 1 star because of poor quality, we're not Skype devs mate.
