For some reason my microphone doesnt work during calls at all in android. i tried 1.5 and 1.6 some months ago and because the mic didnt work i didnt use it at all. once i heard they had 2.1 out i got it on and still, no microphone during calls. i thought 2.1 would have fixed the problem, but obvioulsy its an issue with my phone.
is this just a setting i need to change? i tried searching the 2.1 elcair forum and i didnt find anything about anyone elses mic not working. during a call i can hear the other person pefectly, they just cant hear me.
also, the speaker doesnt work, for ringtones and such. is this still an issue that hasnt been resolved, or is it a problem again with my phone. when i try to change the ring tone it freezes the program and i have to force quit.
any help would be awesome and would make me happy. THX
(im just trying to get it to work, i plan on upgrading to the HTC Evo 4g when it is released)
could this be because my default.txt isnt set up correctly?
I have audio problems with calls if I use the voice search feature. Are you using any kind of voice input methods before trying to make a call?
Also, on the builds I have tried (haven't upgraded in a while) the speakerphone feature wasn't working. They may have fixed that in the newer builds, I don't know.
no i havent been using anything else on there... just no mic during calls. its the first thing i test every time i reinstall android. and still nothing. and yes, my mic works in windows mobile every time i reboot.
im aware the speakerphone doesnt work... but i thought that was only during calls as a speaker phone. does the speaker work for ringtones? or was that what wanst working.
the mic works in all builds and the speakerphone works for both donut and eclair with the newer builds, after applying the updates. Make sure you have the latest radio flashed.
latest radio?
that would be why i bet... im running radio version 1.27.14.09
Mic issue.
I'm glad someone starting this tread I was about to. I've been dying to get android because I thought sipdroid was going to be a good voip solution. Tried it on a G1 and realized it isn't. Now I hear about sipagent, and that I hear works. Since it uses the mic at an application level and not the radio level I've been waiting to hear that voice search works cause that implies droid on kaiser is ready for voip development/beta testing.
So can anyone confirm that the mic is fixed, and that the voice search feature is working within some build?
updated the ROM and radio based on the file at the htc website...
WORKS NOW!!!
im so happy. thx. and yes now the speaker works also and plays ringtones. the speakerphone doesnt work, but atleast it doesnt freeze the phone when you click on the button.
pardonmyownage, can you tell me if voice search causes the phone lose its mic?

I have the same issue! Please, anyone can help us?
I can't find a clear solution.. the people says that changed Radio and works, but WHAT Radio?!
Pls help us!!!
Recommended radio is anything from 1.65.xx.xx up to 1.71.xx.xx, although some find 1.65 better, there are others who find 1.71 better, but audio issues are normally associated with radio lower than 1.64.xx.xx.
If you have a lot of 'no service' issues then change to a radio at the other end of the scale, e.g. if you are on 1.71 then try 1.65, if on 1.65 try 1.71.
From what I have seen so far 1.71 works best for US, 1.65 for europe, not enough data on other areas to say for certain about anywhere else tho.
Just remember, if you are on a radio lower than 1.65 you are more likely to have audio, especially mic issues.
thanks Zenith! Now I have the microphone works!
It works with radio 1.65.16.25
Instructions (for original Kaiser with wm6 and radio 1.27.x.x):

So.. I used Myn's Warm Donut from thread [ANDROID] Myn’s Warm Donut - [RLS 5 - 04/24/2010] and I have a Android Phone!
thanks
Trying to find some feedback from anyone using the BlueAnt V1 bluetooth headset with the EVO.
I'm having problems with the headset not answering calls maybe 85-90% of the time. It announces there is a call, but will not answer via voice command or hitting the button. I can answer via the phone but when I do it doesn't transfer voice to the headset. The headset thinks it is connected because when the call is ended it tells me.
Have done two factory resets on the phone and resets on the headset with no change. Also spoken to Blueant tech support and they weren't much help. All they said is they haven't heard of it having problems with the EVO and should be compatible with all Android devices. Their suggestion was to try it with another EVO and see if the problem still exists. Well, I don't have another to test it on so that does me no good. This headset worked great on both my Blackberry phones before I got the EVO and has the latest updates installed.
BTW...I'm running Myn's RLS4 w/ #17.
Thanks.
Well I don't think it is the Bluetooth , it is the Rom. I have problems with myns #4 with the sync in my email. I have a blue ant also and it does the same thing . I have tried other roms including virus and it works on them , try that .
sent from the phone that is EVO
Pretty sure I tried this headset when the phone was stock and with some other Sense and non-Sense roms. It has never worked properly.
Not sure if it has something to do with the lockscreen or not. The first time it is connected to the phone it works fine. But every time after that, it doesn't connect the call.
I haven't had any problems running anything on Myn's. But just to make sure, when I switch a rom again I will reset and try the headset.
yeah mine does the same thing, it works if i answer w/ voice command but if i press answer button most of the time the audio is route to phone speaker......Lame!
has anybody with a blueant tried it with cyanogenmod? i wonder if the different bluetooth stack yields different results. I'd like to see an app update for the blueant software too (had a cheaper headset that stayed connected way better)
When I pair the headset, it connects and works great the first call I get whether using voice command or button to answer. Then every time after that, it won't connect the call.
Maybe it has something to do with the lockscreen or the phone going to sleep. I will have to do some trial and error.
Currently I am trying out the headset with MikFroyo 4.2 (Sense rom) to see if it makes any difference. This rom is really close to stock so maybe it will work?
I will post back with my conclusion.
My headset works fine now. I have found there is a coding issue that exists in certain roms such as Myn's and CM that prevent proper operation. CM seems to have put together a fix for it. Myn's still does not work at this time. It has been requested as a fix for RLS5 final.
Running eVoKINGS Black Titanium with Mik's 4.2 base and my headset works good.
hey where is the fix for CM or is it just in some of the versions? cause i just flashed CM7 and some of the features i loved about the Blue Ant before are not working like it will not play my audio like it did before i use to be able to listen to my music and what not through the blue tooth. if there is a fix for it i would love to get that working again.

Sorry...it's been a while and can't remember where I read about the fix. If I run across again will let you know. Might try downloading "BT mono" from the Market to see if that helps. Not sure if it is effective on AOSP or not but worth a look.
Hello, i wonder if i am the only one with this issue..
When i started using my one X (quadcore version) all seemed to work fine, then i received and installed 2 new updates from htc and my internal microphone stopped working in calls and with any app i tried.
I havent rooted or installed any custom roms. I tried the hard reset, and still nothing. It seems that the updates have problems with the internal mic, because with headphones works fine.
Any ideas?
Im trying to find how to downgrade my firmware to see if it helps.
Thanks in advance.

I need to clarify the problem, because headphones are for getting sound out of the phone, and mic is for getting sound into the phone, so I'm not sure why you mentioned headphones.
Also, you can't downgrade the software without unlocking.
Check the microphone hole at the bottom of your phone. Might be clogged with something. I had the same issue with my incredible s. Mic had suddenly stopped working. Found out that I had peanut butter stuck in the microphone hole on the cover
[SOLUTION IN THIS POST]
There seems to be a compatibility issue with the new Bluetooth 4.0 of my HOX when pairing with some devices that have BT 3.0 version.
My own issue is with the Car Audio System of my 2008 C350 Mercedes Benz. The Bluetooth telephony worked perfectly with my DHD.
Now, I can pair my HOX with the system, but when I receive a call I can hear the other party only for 2 seconds then the voice is gone. As if we've both muted the call.
On the other hand, when I call someone, the phone call goes through just fine.
I've been reading a lot concerning this subject, and it seems that people are having the same problem with their SGIII.
A software update of the SGIII that was released for some carriers seems to have fixed the issue.
Also, my sister's iPhone 4S works fine with the system, even though it has BT 4.0.
So I believe this issue can be fixed, but it needs one of the Gurus on XDA to come up with a fix
My issue was slightly different (phone would pair but not connect) and I got onto my car kit manufacturer (in this case was a parrot system used in a mitsubishi) and found out I could update that. Since updating my car kit have had no problems at all.
That's good to hear. I read somewhere that updating the car system could be a solution.
But I'm hoping a solution could be made on the phone's side.

there might be nothing wrong on the phones side, have you checked to see if you can update your devices that are having problems as suggested?
i've had no issues running even bt2.1 stuff
Updating did not fix the issue.
Other phones (with older versions than BT 4.0) work perfectly.
I don't have access to updating my car's audio system atm, so I'm hoping something could be done on the phone's side.
But since this isn't a very wide spread problem among XDA users, I'm thinking it's not going to be an easy task.
Update:
Today, I tried something. After answering a call, the same thing happened (after 2 seconds I could no longer hear the other party but the call didn't drop)
On my HOX I chose Speaker and I was able to hear the other person talking; switched it back to BT handsfree (my car's audio system) and it worked.
Even though this is not a solution, but at least now I can answer a call when I'm driving. I just have to switch to Speaker then BT... Still better than nothing
Having a similar problem with mine, it pairs fine, I can access the phonebook etc but as soon as you try to make a call the bluetooth disconnects. However, i've found that if you turn the bluetooth off and back on again and re-pair it, it seems to work properly.
Would be nice if it just worked first time though.

Which ROM/Kernel are you using? And which car audio system are you trying to connect to?
bmw car
viper x rom but tried it on others and had the same problem

After reading about this subject extensively, it seems that updating your car audio system is the best solution.
I suggest you take an appointment with the BMW service station and have them update your system.
yeah, i'm going to look into it. did you get yours sorted?
Bmw bluetooth 4.0
Same problem here on first connect every thing works fine but the next time the connection is lost with the first call.
Bmw doesn't have a update yet.
Would be cool if someone on xda could fix this for us.

No I haven't yet. But I guess I'll try to get an appointment for next week.
For the time being, the workaround I came up with (switching to speaker phone then back to BT during a call), is working for me.

Does the call drop completely? or you simply stop hearing the other party?
I noticed something new today.
During a phone call (connected to Car Audio System), and I receive an SMS, the same thing happens (but the workaround still works).

have you checked with them recently?
Have you tried other phones with the car? wondering if the SGS 3 would have the same problem...

thing is, when I try to make a call the bluetooth connection drops so I have to turn the bluetooth off and back on again to be able to reconnect

Have you tried a custom kernel? I recommend Faux
SOLVED
Even though this is an old thread, I wanted to let you know that this issue has been fixed.
By updating my Hboot to 1.31 and using a jelly bean ROM, I no longer have a problem with Handsfree over Bluetooth.
For those of you who are still facing this issue, I hope this helps.
NOTE: Before updating to new Hboot, you need to make sure your CID allows it. Check here.
Also you need to flash a jelly bean ROM afterwards, I use ARHD and it's pretty good!

Cheers!
Hi all,
Quick question, has anyone experienced issues with the microphone while using Skype or Hangouts after the latest (last week's) OTA for Europe?
At first I thought it was bad design on a case I got, but the issue persists even without the case (and there actually is a hole in the plastic for the mic), tried Hangouts to make sure it wasn't just Skype, so I'm thinking it might have to do with the OTA update.
The mic wasn't doing wonders with capturing before, but it appears to be unusable for Skype now unless the tablet is held at the same distance as a phone.
On a relevant note, is anyone aware of any tools that could help adjusting mic gain or disabling the automatic gain control/ noise cancellation features?
ROM is stock LG, rooted.
Me too
Same here with the exact same setup.
I've tried alsamixer but this proves useless until you know witch setting is involved among hundreds of available mixers.
I wonder if an external bluetooh or USB microphone is not a better option.
EiZ
Same issue
I just recently got the G pad and I definitely have a problem with the mic. Is this happening on all the G pads or do you think is a hardware issue on my device?
I tried with Skype and Hangouts and my voice was barely audible on the other end. Just to make sure it was not my internet connection I tried with my old trusty Galaxy S2, no problems there so it is definitely a problem of the G Pad.
I have no screen, warming, yellow lines, light bleeding or any other issue. So, the device is perfect except for the mic, do you think it is worth to take it back to the shop to exchange it for a new one or this will not cure the mic problem?
Any luck tweaking the mic in software btw? Finally, has anybody tried to use a bluetooth headset and microphone with it, is it possible?
Thanks!
I am also having mic issues currently on sw ver v50010a.
it seems very quiet. update is downloading so will see how it compares.
I'm on software ver V50010b and I keep having issues with the microphone.
Don't know what to do... the rest of the tablet is perfect, so I'm afraid to exchange it just for this issue and get a new one with more problems.
