[Q] Garbled "alien" voice when making/receiving calls - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Hi, I am currently using Slimbean 4.3.1 on my phone with a baseband version T989DTLMC4 .. When I am making calls I hear a garbled "alien" voice .. sort of like it's coming from underwater.. and the guy from the other end hears it too!! I have tried enabling the "noise suppression" from phone settings but didn't get any result! but the catch is when I restart my phone it becomes okay for a while and then it happens again!! I would really appreciate if anybody could help me ! Thank you !

Are you using headphones or some sort of headset or the built in mic?

Best to just try a different ROM then and see how it is.

As I don't flash my s2 anymore, I can only suggest trying a bunch and deciding what you like best.
I always seemed to return to 4.1.2 based ROMs. Usually no glitches.

sadly I have the same issue here...it has to do with calls over 3g. If I switch to 2g that tends to eliminate the alien noise. this can be a nuisance for me since I use GPS and the browser for work quite often, and 2g can be pretty slow for those. so anytime I get a call I have to reject it, switch to 2g, and then call back.

Are you using the speaker phone when this "alien" voice happens?

Click the phone icon then menu setting and noise suppress try that I have the same problem and have not tried other radios yet but it may help. Idk if it has mine don't make many calls I'll know next time I call someone when I have to yell at them for them to hear me Lol. But try that
I had the same issue on this ROM too. In fact, all JB ROMs have this problem. I went back to ICS.

Its up to you. If you think its a software issue, Do a factory reset or even reinstall your ROM. Flash ur ARC and see, if you have the same issue, it would be a software issue. Feel free to visit your service centre then ..!
Good Luck..!
well with bootloader unlocked no waranty, hope it isnt a hardware problem :S
I reflashed the ROM with same results, Im thinking in doing a full resintall and also give CM10.1 a chance hehe
but before that I would like to know if there are other options, some kind of parameter that I can set or something that I can check, I never liked the idea of something not working just reinstall hehehe
Ok a lot of CM10/10.1 ROMs have been having this problem. Try lowering your volume during call and then raising it again.

Lowering the speaker volume you mean? and it will fix the problem of the other person not hearing me enough? Quite a funny solution hehehe
Didnt work for me?
Any more ideas?
There is a sound level control missing from standard sound settings of arc s,it is voice calls sound level.There are programs for sound control that give you access to this control where you can set it up seperatly from other sound levels.You may also lock the elevel so it will not change by sound level key.Try xperia ultimate HD mod v 4.4.It gives also seperate control on call voice.Hope that helps.

Yup, all the controlls were at full, but doesnt that controll (voice call) managa the volume of your speaker? my problem is the other person not hearing me, so I suppose is more of a microphone problem.

Look I had the same problem as your's and solved it by raising the voice call control to maximum.Do you see this control now and at which level it is.Supply a screen shoot if u can.By the way you can test your microphone by using a voice recorder program.

Same problem here. My voice is very muffled and to be honest I'm getting tired with having to shout down the phone. Everyone says it sounds like I'm underwater or have my hand over my mouth.
Anyone know what's caused this? On the Trinity Vengeance RaptorXL 2.5 JB ROM

I've been trying to work this out for months. There have been a LOT of posts about this on the Sony forums, but no one has a definitive fix yet. Some people have fixed theirs by turning off noise suppression. Others have fixed it by turning off vibrate when ring. Others have restored their firmware 3 or 4 times before it went back to normal.
My fix was to press the volume rocker a few times when picking up the call. This would normally work, however lately it hasn't been doing a thing.

[Q] Any KitKat ROM w/o speaker problem ?

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.

Callee: very bad audio when calling

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 cant use the handsfree or microphone as listeners report they can hardly hear me....all since the lollipop update...
any ideas ?

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, I only tried the solution suggested above, I have yet to encounter the problem again.
I just tried same thing with equalizer. I will see if this will work. @Devenda, any news since 2 days ago?

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.
