Hello ,
I wanted to ask if anyone knows how I can increase the microphone gain/sensitivity on my G4 .
For example, when I want to send a voice message in the WhatsApp ,I heard really weak , as if that low gain or something like that .
I also Must say that I don't feel any problem while calls .
I used LG G2 before and I heard stronger by far , also to compare , while sending voice message in the WhatsApp .
My previous LG G2 was rooted and I used Dorimanx kernel and I must say it was great ! I had a option to change the mic gain and many other.
I don't want to root my new G4 , any option to change the gain ? maybe in the engineering mode ?
Thank for everyone .
I must say that I feel the microphone problem only in the WhatsApp voice message !

It seems that the Auto Gain Control of the device.
I will explain,
I downloaded another recording application called Smart Voice Recorder and in the settings when the microphone gain option was on Auto - Device auto gain control - I heard very weak barely spectrum of the sound moves while I was speaking.
Only when I set the GAIN manually more than 1 ,I begin to hear myself normally .
How can I change the auto gain of the device microphone that set ?
Since a week ago I had the LG G2 ROOTED , I used DORINMAX KERNEL and it was excellent ! there was a option to change the microphone gain and another options .
There is a possibility to do so without making ROOT?
Thanks .

I don't think you can make it without root
I am having the same issue with my LG G4 H815. My microphone picks up sounds very poorly, and everyone complains that they cant hear me during calls, and when i use the sound recorder I can barely hear myself speak afterwards.
If i use the camera app and make a video, then the sound is very loud and crisp.
A friend of mine has the exact same phone and when we exchange sound recordings on the facebook messenger app his ones are way louder than mine. I tried this "Smart Voice Recorder" app, and it fixes it, but only within the app.
What good is a phone if I can't make normal phone calls... I'll probably be returning mine after the holidays, such a shame.
Go into the dialer under settings and turn off the noise cancellation. I think when your mouth goes just a little too far from the mic, it cancels you out. Since turning that off, no one has complained on calls. Give it a shot.
The problem is absolutely not with the calls ,it is about the mic when using for record like WhatsApp
People can not hear me in WhatsApp and Skype Plz help ...
Up
Someone ?
Has anyone found a solution to this request?? Even if the phone is rooted, I really would like to increase the mic gain in-call. A lot people complaining that they can't hear me properly
Having the same issues in Whatsapp, if i record a under "Voice Recorder" app is normal.
Any solutions?

Hi guys
I have a s5660, running CM7.
Would like to record phone calls automatically, even if it is just my own voice and not the other party (although both would be great). I understand there are some limitations, and I don't want to have to use speaker mode.
Any suggestions on the best way to do this?
I have Tasker... Or if someone could recommend a good app that will do it on the s5660 I don't mind spending a few $$.
i have used so many apps of call recording but i cannt find a good working app....
i think devs should think about it n make for us a stable working app of call recording....
I agree, there are many apps, but no one can do the job right. I tried 3 apps but no result, sometimes the person on other end Notices a BEEP every 30 sec or so, for me i go with Old LG KG200 with built in Call record function, smooth and fine, no loud speakers no Beep. I think i over write about Lg,, but i love my Lg. hehehe
try tape-a-talk app... it worked great for me.
not auto recording though (free version at least)
Anyone found an app to AUTOMATICALLY record phone calls? I've tried two, ACR and Call Recorder. Both have problems recording the other person - with ACR the other person sounds garbled and with Call Recorder the other person isn't recorded at all.
The stock dialer lets you record phone calls, but not automatically.
Anyone found an app that will record phone calls on the G3? What is it?
Thanks!
Stock recorder does not let you record on a d851. Have spoken to both devs they all say it a hardware issue but yet tweakedbox g3 records.
AWESOME G3

G3 tweaksbox will allow you to add call recording and then recorded calls go to Voice Recorder app.
FYI, I get the same garbled caller side of my recorded calls with G3 Tweaksbox for some reason.
The other end of the line is garbled and distorted, barely able to make anything out of it, about 85% of all calls are like that, whether outgoing or incoming.
And it seems the louder the other end of the line is, it becomes even more distorted, but it's not from talking loud, my end is recorded fine, even when I tried yelling, it seems to be the way it's handling the receiving audio.

Yes call recording will work natively. The only issue is the other person sounds REALLY bad.

I have the same problem on call recordings with my D851, the other person sounds really distorted.
Pretty sure this is how you can get it working...
After talking to @wideasleep1 about his settings with Automatic Call Recorder (FREE), and applying a couple settings of my own in both phone settings and in G3 TweaksBox, I was able to get the call recording nice and clear!... here's how to do it:
Pic 1 - G3 TweakBox settings
Pic 2 - Settings (access this during call)
Pic 3 - Automatic Call Recorder settings (1 of 2)
Pic 4 - Automatic Call Recorder settings (2 of 2)
*once in a while on a certain call the recipient will sound fuzzy, maybe is related to the phone's main audio volume while on the call though. I'd say about 50%-70% up is a good volume. Anyways, someone wanna try this out and post your results?
Pic 4... Sorry
Ok this will add the record button when on a call. It will not auto record maybe I'll see about modding the apks to make that happen when I get some time. I have tried this and it's not terribly bad. There's a little crackling if the other persons voice gets to loud. So if you just want the option to be there for the next time you call Comast it''s there, also this is a flashable zip so please do a backup first :good:

Are you on a ODEX rom? If so rename LGIncallUI.odex and LGTeleService.odex.
I use boldbeast in the play store on mode four. Has automatic or manual.

Anything.. Lol
The point is that the os doesn't see them. Renaming the file achieves this without permanently deleting the files in case you want to revert later.
So, resurrecting a dead horse here...
When you're hearing the calls sound "garbled", the reason why is because the gain of the side-of-the-call-in-question is set too high
What I mean by this, for people who don't have experience with audio processing:
A file will have a given maximum-volume it can store for any given sound sample.
If it is told to write a volume higher than that maximum, it will write the maximum instead.
"Distortion" is a term for what this type of thing does to sound; specifically in this form, where the numbers are just cut down to size with no finesse, it is called "hard clippIng" and generally sounds pretty awful
The solution is to basically bring down the volume of the incoming sounds that are being recorded – i.e., in this case, the other person's end of the call needs to have its volume brought down coming into the recording app / system
The term for incoming volume is "gain"
So, the LG built-in call recorder needs the incoming gain, esp. that of the incoming calls, brought down to fix this
There is likely a number in some obscure preference file that controls this. I just have no idea where to look.
Anyone have any leads??
One of the updates to ACR this year included a gain control. By reducing the gain, I can now record calls with no distortion. Success!
Hi there,
When i record with the audio recorder or with cam the sound is like bugged with some noise at the background , i tried the tape and clean the mic , but also not working , tried also Cyanogen 6.0 and it's more noisy ...
Do anyone know how to fix that ? i used an application called Microphone i used to change the gain to 100db and also changing the mono into stereo it's less noisy than it had to be but not complete , and it need to activate each time i reboot or quit the app , some app not work with this activated , i really need help because when i make call they cant hear me.
Thanks for the help.
Hello,
The microphone doens't work on my S9 when I use the speaker phone. The people do not hear me. I have no problem in normal call mode.
I tested to call in "safe mode" but the problem always appears.
Thank you for your help!
No idea?
Same problem here (replace xx by tt) : hxxps://us.community.samsung.com/t5/forums/v3_1/forumtopicpage/board-id/GalaxyS/thread-id/51619/page/12
Thank you!

m also having the same problem, but also While video recording
Same problem here. Only when HD calling is enabled. If you disable HD calling, the problem should go away. I'm hoping the first software update fixes it. Just to be clear the problem is that the other person cannot hear you when on speakerphone. You should be able to hear them clearly and have no idea there is a problem unless they tell you that you sound muffled or like you are underwater. Turn off HD calling on Verizon and it goes away.
Thank you for your solution. I disabled the HD calling ("4G calling" in French) and the voice can be heard now. But the quality is very very bad! It is scandalous for a phone of this price!
Is there an other solution to improve the microphone quality during a call with speakerphone?
Thank you!
HD Calling?
I have the same issue, but have no idea how to disable HD Calling ( I'm on Sprint BTW). These minor issues are ticking me off; I've already had for factory reset once due to Camera settings crashing the app.. . now this nonsense. Phone isn't even 14 days out of the box, and its DEFINITELY not an "third party-app" issue. Bad time to switch from iPhone, huh? This is unacceptable for a $300 phone, nonetheless a $1K phone.
Hello, I have the same issue, on VoIP apps like WhatsApp as well. https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...rphone-loudness-clarity-t3746298#post78757253
Does anyone experience the same problem on custom ROM?

Same problem here, first on Note7, now on Note9. Disabling HD calling did not fix it for me.
any solution for it ? please post solution
I've discovered the issue is that the phone attempts to mute your microphone while the speaker is playing sounds. (If you're on the phone with someone they have background noise or are talking) and your phone's microphone attempts to lower the sensitivity so that the person whom you are speaking with doesn't hear an echo of themselves on their end. If they aren't making a sound then you can be heard normally. This is the downfall of my S9+ because the speaker and microphone are right beside each other.
Hi Guys,
I have a peculiar problem. I run Android version 10 on One Plus 7T Version 10.3.2.HD65AA, Model HD1901
I do a lot of video calls on my job . When I am on a video call on a loud speaker and it is interrupted by cell phone call, even if i accept or reject the cell phone call, my loudspeaker volume significantly reduces to be inaudible levels .The volume is maximum , but its inaudible. I have to disconnect the video call and restart the phone to be able to converse on loud speaker. This is very irritating and affecting my job. I have tried to search a lot and have not found any effective answer . This happens even with headphones .
I notice this typically on whatsapp video call and browser based video calls like doxy.me. With zoom and google meet, i am logged out if i accept the cell phone call, so i have to rejoin the meetings and the sound level is audible.
I would really appreciate any piece of advice on solving this issue as its interfering with my job, besides being a nuisance.
PS : I have had to factory reset my phone twice recently for other reasons as below and it still has not solved this issue .
1. I had missing icons in my top shelf in contact app ( plus sign , delete button , hamburger bottom) and file app (hamburger sign , find button and delete bin) after one particular update
2. Had notification problems which again needed factory reset
Thank you all in advance

BUG: Phone speakers won't work after video calling
Device: Oneplus 7T on 10.0.9HD65AA
How to reproduce:
1. Video call using facebook messenger or similar app
2. Play music or video thru speakers, they won't work
3. Restart phone, speaker will work again
*note: there is a faint sound coming from the earpiece, like when you're calling someone
Already reported this to OnePlus. Very frustrating bug.

My problem could be this bug that u reported. Did they reply back to you?
I just had this happen when using MS Teams on a conference call. I had speakerphone enabled, and a call came in. I declined the call, but the Teams call switched to the earpiece (which was of lower volume). To fix, I just switched from Speaker, to Device and then back to Speaker. This happens on AOSP (on my OnePlus 5T) as well.
I don't think it's an Oxygen problem, but it's something that can likely be fixed if they know about it.

After installing AOSP on the 7T, this continues to happen with Microsoft Teams meetings when I have speaker enabled, receive a phone call and decline it, and it switches automatically to earpiece.
The solution of switching to earpiece in Teams and then back to speaker fixes it. All without disconnecting from the meeting.

So this did work for me. Today when the volume reduced after a phone call during my zoom meeting, I plugged in my ear phones and then removed them after 2 min, the volume was back to full and audible.
Thanks a lot for this tip. It's a life saver for me. Really appreciate it.

You're welcome. It's more of a workaround because it seems audio routing is just wonky in Android. I'm not sure if iOS does this but I can test that later with wife's phone.

Yep! Same here, MS Teams meeting, BT headset, dropped incoming call to voicemail and meeting volume became inaudible, so I had to drop and reconnect. Very inconvenient, especially because I was the meeting's host. I will try to switch audio device in Teams next time, kudos for that!
