I was wondering if there is anyway to increase the phone microphones sensitivity. When I'm talking on the phone if I move the phone away from my mouth even a little people can't hear me never had this problem on any other phone. I have to keep the bottom of the phone tight against my mouth for anyone to hear me it's really annoying. Is it something that all g3s have that problem? And it there a way to fix it?

I never heard that before. Please check that whether it is hardware issue or software. Record your voice in recorder then listen. It may help you to confirm the problem. If it's software problem, you can flash it. But if it's hardware then you need to repair it.

I'm pretty sure I found the problem it's Google now when it's set to activated from any screen. So far it seems to be much better

I got my GS3 a couple weeks ago used from somebody and ever since I've noticed that the front speaker is extremely low, even when the volume boost is enabled. If I am anywhere that isn't almost completely silent then it becomes almost practically impossible for me to here the person on the other end unless I put the phone in speaker mode and use the external.
I took the phone in to a sprint store and they told me there was nothing that they could do, so I took the problem into my own hands and replaced the front speaker myself with a replacement part that I purchased off of eBay but that didn't seem to help at all. At this point it's beginning to get extremely annoying, having to use the loud speaker just so I can hear the person on the other line and I am very confused as to what the problem may be. I figured that replacing the speaker would of taken care of any hardware issues that may have existed but that doesn't seem to be the case. Could there be something else causing very low speaker volume, hardware or software related? I've done some research and this doesn't seem to be a common problem with GS3's in general so I'm pretty stumped as to what is going on.
I am still on stock (unrooted)
Not sure if you are rooted or not but it may be worth a try. Try flashing a different rom other than stock? See if it is a software issue instead(ya know). Im willing to bet since your ballsy enough to tear down your phone, you have root.
How was the tear down btw?

Yeah, i definitely have no problem rooting, I was just holding off until I fixed the earpiece but you're right, I might as well give it a try seeing as I don't have any other options really.
The tear down wasn't bad at all. It was my first time taking apart my phone and all it took was a tiny bit of patience and a couple screw drivers.
So I finally rooted my phone and I've been messing with custom roms all day but I am still having issues with the speaker. Does anybody have any idea what may be causing this? I'm assuming it has to be something hardware related but I've already changed the speaker so I'm not sure what else could be malfunctioning...
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Hi, i've had my Arc S for 3 Months and my microphone has been playing up for the last few days, when i'm on the phone , people say that they can hardly hear me, and it sounds like i'm on the other side of the room. i have tried the option to turn off noise suppression and although it makes it slightly better, my microphone still sounds quiet and muffled. i have also tried the phones hardware testing fuction and it still sounds the same.
I have used the sony site to unlock my bootloader so i don't think sony will do a warranty repair
What should i do? Is this a hardware problem in need of a repair or if there is a software tweak that will help.
Please help!

A friend of mine had a very similar, if not the same, issue as yours in the galaxy s2. You have to replace a certain part in your phone because it's a hardware problem.
Good luck!

Hi, I have Arc S for 8 Months and it was great until today, when i'm on the phone , people say that they can't hear me. and when i yell at them on the bottom of my phone,they can hardly hear me. i have tried the option to turn off noise suppression , my microphone still sounds quiet . i have also tried the phones hardware testing function and it still sounds the same.I have unlocked bootloader so its out of warranty.Is there anything i can do to regain my mics performance?
currently i am on Stock GB(latest).
I really need your help. Thanks
In the dialer enter:
*#*#7378423#*#*
Then appears a service menu where you can test (at least it says so) some if not all the equipment including both microphones.
I guess that if no problems shows you have to flash your rom again or test another and see if the issue its still there.
If your microphone is broken then you should take it to service $
Sorry if i cant be of more help
it seems secondary mic is ok but main mic is not. now how can i fix it?
I still have this problem and i don't know what to do! which part of the phone to replace? please help...
Obviously, if microphone fails in every method, it is the main microphone, which you have to replace.

Unfortunately, I am not familiar with aftermarket parts or their prices.
The phone speakers make a crackling popping noise periodically... i cant figure out what exactly triggers it and i dont think its necesarily just at high volume. The one way i know how to reproduce this every time is to run antutu benchmark and try to turn the volume all the way down and all the way up while the first video benchmark (i think its called maroon) is running. the speakers will crackle through several of the adjustements.
Anyone else experiencing this? Do you think this is a software issue or a factory defect? I could listen to music for a halfhour straight and not have an issue as long as im not doing anything else with the device which makes me think its more of a software issue when volume is being adjusted or other operation where the volume is being toggled (i.e it has also happened while receiving a notification where the first milliseconds of the notification alert will play and then it will "crackle-out")
I did a complete factory reset and booted total stock and still had the issue so its not root or any modification related.
Hey, i have the same problem! Did you contact the support?

I contacted support and the tech said they didn't get any other reports of this happening and said it might be a hardware issue but then they forwarded me to Verizon to get a replacement phone... then Verizon told me it's not a hardware problem it's a software problem so I can't get a replacement. I am convinced that it is a software problem because of the symptoms of otherwise normally working speakers but at the same time I am very surprised that there aren't tons of other people bringing this up. I am also not sure where to report this bug to google

Actually I have heard of this... Its in the forums somewhere...
Tell VZW to STFU and send you a new one. :angel:
I've been experiencing a similar issue. Pixel XL 128GB.
I notice sporadic stuttering in the video and audio whenever playing videos, either through YouTube or Chrome. I don't really notice it anywhere else, which leads me to believe it's a software issue. Potentially a bug in the video decoders. I haven't contacted Google support yet.
I had the same exact problem with my Verizon one, it happened twice in a week of owning it, it bothered me so I ended up returning it, back to my s7e!

When it first started happening to me I couldn't find any others talking about the issue so I thought I was alone lol
My 32gb XL has been doing it too. I generally use bluetooth headphones, so it's not a big deal, but it is certainly something I've noticed when trying to use the in-phone speaker.

Thanks guys, so I contacted Verizon and they had the nerve to tell me that they would replace it but only with a "like new" device. What a joke. So basically they told me well **** you and that sucks that we sent you a broken phone so here's somebody else's old broken one. such a slap to the face.
I didn't have the time to sit an argue so I will have to either call back another time or go to a store
I'm contacting support about this now. I only notice it when I'm using my Daydream View headset though. But does anyone know if it's safe to perform a factory data reset if I'm rooted with custom kernel?

I have the same issue. Here is where I posted about it.

I contacted Google. They want me to send my phone back and after they got it they will send me a replacement...
Being on Verizon I am also afraid that I'll get shipped a phone with a locked bootloader, I am still trying to figure out how I wanna handle this
Same here. Sending back for a new one.

You can send you phone back to the Google store if you speak to the right person. But you will have to send it then they will send you another. But beware they are already sending used phones as replacements just as Verizon is. Many have returned their device for many different reasons. This is a nice phone and we all like Google but this phone has the worst customer service I've ever seen displayed versus a nexus. Google will actually argue with you to assure you there's nothing wrong with your phone even though you have it in your hand and know there's something wrong. And in all honesty every phone should be recalled because of the lens flare if the camera. That's a major issue noteworthy if a recall. Google doesn't want scar of their first all Google phone to tarnish their image and branding. I spoke to Google cs and the rep was totally real and honest starting that the camera has caused many phones to be replaced knowing all of them have the same camera issue. He said they've replaced do many phones that it had caused a delay of others getting their phones. Google actually has phones that are new put aside for replacing defective phones and they've used all of their stock as replacements. Hence the reason after two months they are already sending out used replacements.
I think I am going to take it to a Verizon store tomorrow because the process of showing them the issue will be a lot easier and maybe they have older phones in stock that don't have locked bootloader
