Hello,
i am using google voice recognition very often - I am loving it. The problem is that i need to talk very loud in order to get the voice recognized by the app.
Is there a way to increase the volume/sensitivity of the microphone?

If you ever tried to do a recording, you'd notice that the quality is awful.
Google Voice probaly has more issues getting a clear enough sound rather than a loud enough sound.
Our phone isn't exactly known for it's senses, poor camera, speaker and mic

Agreed about terrible audio quality in Froyo.
But wait till you hear the quality in Gingerbread for the DHD.. it's like a new phone.
I know that the microphone quality in general is not good.
But that's not my problem. If you use Google voice recognition you have a kind of signal strength meter (don't know the english word for it) that shows you the input level measured by the application.
My observation is that sometime I have to shout in order to get recognized and sometimes it's enough to speak with normal voice.
The question is: Is there a way to change the microphone level or sensitivity?
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
Hi guys, I use V10h-EUR-xx version of LG-D855 but in calls the quality is terrible. Other people can't hear me, my voice fades and they can't hear me. How can I fix it?

Try your sim card with another phone if problem persists try updating your software from here with your imei to a newer one.

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.

Did it. I hope they'll fix it but why is it only on Z1 compact then if it's skype's fault?
Hello team,
Sorry if the translation is bad, I use a translator: sneaky:
I have a problem with my 10 + rating (SM-N975F / DS). When I make a call with the speakerphone activated (hands free) my interlocutor hears me very badly if the phone is not sticking to my mouth. Looks like the noise reduction is not working well.
I've done tests with the voice recorder and are perfect, even at 2 meters from the phone. Unfortunately you can't turn off the noise reduction on this phone.
If you have an idea ...
Thank you
I have the same problem when I use a different language on my phone. What talk to text app are you using? Samsung's? Have you tried using a different one? Say Google?
