ROM that fix the Low Volume in earpiece - OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers

Hi,
Unfortunately, during the last month, after one of the upgrades, I started to suffer from an issue of very low volume in the earpiece. the only way to use OP3 is with the internal speaker or BT device.
this is a known issue, that currently, unloved by OP dev team. - https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/very-low-call-volume-issue.496434/
now, my question. Does any of the other kernel, ROM, whatever solve this issue? if yes, please let me know...
Thanks,
Tomer

When you make(or receive) a phone call and you press menu button you can see the option to turn off Noise Filter and it disable the 2nd microphone near earphone plug that cause problems when I use my phone inside the rubber cover. The problem is that every phone call I must disable it manually because also if I disable it, on next call it's enabled by default.
This is a screenshot with "in call" menu:
please send me your pohne.apk

Ok,
I sent you a pm
I would like also disable it as default , other side can't hear me while talking...
any solution ?
Help us
Mine too. Mostly, people can't hear me when call-in. In the meanwhile, I have tried several solutions by adjust setting (i.e.*#*#... Audio... etc) and install apps (i.e.AudioHack... etc), but all doesn't helps.
Really appreciate whoever could tell me how to disable the noise reduction (set default to off). I think most people are looking into this solution as well.
Thanks in advance.
Hey devs give me a help, i really need this mod...

[Q] (HELP)Very strange and unique problem in desire hd

i keep on shuffling roms every other or alternate day. when i bought desire hd on tmobile uk ,i had this same problem of low earpiece sound but i doono when it went by shuffling roms after unbranding
NOW A NEW AND UNIQUE PROBLEM IS I AM ON MIUI 2.2.10 MY EARPICE SOUND HAS GONE LOW LIKE THE OLD DAYS ON T-MOBILE THOUGH I HAVEN'T GONE TO STOCK ROM AND THE CALL SPEAKER VOLUME HAS INCREASED TO 3-4 TIME OR MORE THAN THAT EVEN
WHAT CAN BE THE PROBLEM
THANKS IN ADVANCE
Firstly try this, go back to last rom in which u had proper earpiece sound and see if the problem still exist, if not then contact the developer of the rom in which u are facing issues.
Secondly see if there is dust on your earpiece section, clean it properly.

Hi. That is the problem with MIUI. The sound is low compared to the other ROMs.
---------- Post added at 08:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:24 PM ----------
Hi. I think I suggested you earlier the MIUI ROM. Sorry, I forgot to tell you about the volume problem. Why don't you try the ARHD 6.3.3. This ROM is amazing, works extremely well. After you flash the ARHD 6.3.3, don't forget to flash ARHD_6.3.x_disable_scrolling_cache.
Here are the links:
For ARHD 6.3.3, use this link:

For disabling scrolling cache, use this link and search for "Disabled scrolling cache":

Only works when on speaker phone

Hello,
My phone is running the darthstalker rom. For a few weeks now when I talk on it, I have to put it on speaker phone or no one can hear me talk.
I thought maybe some app screwed it up so I went into recovery, deleted cache and user data, deleted all apps and restarted with the darthstalker. I had to enter my gmail again and set it up. Then I made a call and the same thing happened.
What could be wrong with this phone? I am about to try a different rom but I am now thinking the mic is messed up. Is the mic the same for the speaker phone as normal conversation?
Does anyone now how I can fix this phone? I wanted to put it on ebay since I could use the money but I would like to fix this problem so I can get maximum $ from it. It is in mint condition otherwise.

First try to figure out if it is a h/w or s/w problem. Try different ROM, voice/call recording app. If that doesn't fix, means it is a hardware problem.
Get it replaced if under warranty. Otherwise, it may be a mic problem.
When on speakerphone, the phone actually uses another microphone. this may be a problem with your call mic. Does it give no sound at all? or is it just too low? Check this link: http://blog.brokenlcds.com/samsung-galaxy-note-mic-problem/
This is for note 2, but the idea is same. It may require cleaning or replacing.
Now, I can't say about replacing it on the Note 3, but n my HTC one x+, I fixed it myself. $8 microphone and capacitive touch strip, very easy DIY fix. I've heard Samsung is simpler (can't say for sure, never tried it on Samsung).
There should be a tiny hole at the bottom to the left or right of the charging port. That`s where the mic listens from, so it may just be clogged with dirt. Carefully poke a needle inside the hole and it should work!

Oneplus 3 ear speaker problem

I have an issue with my Oneplus 3 device. Unfortunately its ear speaker gets very quiet and weak, on maximum volume level as well. Until my last call (it was yesterday at 12PM) it has not had any problem, but now when I tried to make a call I cannot heard the other person. On loudspeaker and with headset the call was clearly audible.
I tried the followings as troubleshooting, but neither solved the problem:
- Tried to make calls from each SIM card
- Tried to call different people
- Tried to do clean (wiped system,data,dalvik and cache too) reflash the full rom from recovery
Now, I am out of ideas, what can solve this issue. I am afraid it is hardware related. If you have any proposal, what can I try out, please share with me.
Thanks,
Tamas
I had the exact same issue. It's a proximity sensor issue . For the next call , try holding the phone a little away from your ear ( farther from your usual position) . You should hear voice a little better . I did this a few times , now the issue is gone completely. The sensor just need to be calibrated again .

In Oneplus One with root we can modify the file mixer_path.xml like this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/themes-apps/mod-volume-increase-mod-oneplus-one-t2835010 to gain volume.
But in our case i don't know exactly what to edit in mixer_path.xml for gain volume for ear speaker in OP3

Most probably the earpiece is blocked with dust/lint especially if speaker and headphones work. If you can open the phone and clean it, it should be ok. Or try cleaning it from outside.
Contact Oneplus, they'll replace it. I just had it done while still being in warranty
Yes. Apply some petrol, alcohol, or such solvent on earpiece, rub it with a swab, and then suck with your mouth. Repeat this a few times. This solves the problem.
If you really want to do a good job, open the phone, detached motherboard, remove earpiece , remove also the piece of cloth that covers the area between earpiece and external metal , clean the dust with toothbrush and some liquid and voila! As new. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/jblqcnur7yg7cai/AAAyVjhDPPwBbd1H-QfUUZtfa?dl=0

No audio through top speaker?

During voice calls I get no audio through the top speaker (people can hear me fine however so it's not a microphone issue). When I switch to speaker phone I at least get audio from the bottom speaker so I can use the phone. However, playing music or any video content both speakers work fine. I factory reset the phone and it worked fine for a few hours, then quit. Booted the phone in safe mode, didn't work. Factory reset and didn't install ANY apps, didnt even link a gmail to it, didn't work.
This will be my 3rd device (2nd replacement through verizon and the original) that have all had the same problem. I would say it's an app issue, but when it still doesn't work in safe mode, or before installing any apps....
Verizon is clueless and just keeps telling me they'll send me a new device. Any ideas?

Did you check to make sure Hearing Aids is turned off in phone/settings/accessibility?
Wow, I literally searched every forum. Scoured the internet from top to bottom and got no answers. Thank you kind sir. Any idea why it would randomly turn itself on?

Ha, yeah the reps will just say to factory reset which won't help. The setting is backed up with Google account and restored once set up again. I actually started a thread about this problem a week or two ago....

Do not even know where to find these information. moreover the top speaker is completely off, do you believe that is a matter of tuning.
For sure the device need also a better tuning since the top speaker is less lowed than the bottom one.

You need your phone rooted & File explorer, you just open the app & copy /system to sdcard, pack it up & send to me. Or if you're unrooted, then FX file explorer can copy /system partition to sdcard (doesen't matter if it's internal, or external one) without root.
If you do that - i can take a look at system files & libs in order to know what's possible. Maybe it's also possible to force earpiece to reproduce music stream via mixer patch. Anyways, i'll better know if anything is possible only when i look through the files. The reason why i'm asking is because i've tried all img unpackers that i know, but they crash when i try to unpack any Oreo firmware img, for whatever reason.
Hello, i have made an App for this Problem. I have two Pixel 2 XL since 1 week and when i got my first call i hear, that the ringtone was very quiet.
So i tryed to solve this Probleme with an App. After 1 week my App ist now ready.
I would be glad if someone would try my Workaround.
I'am sorry but i can't post links. You can find my App in the playstore com.loudspeaker

Toggle off hearing aid setting
I ran into the same problem when I first setup my Pixel 2 XL and here is how I determined what caused it.
Verizon test calls are #832.
1) I tested the phone when I first got it without holding up to my ear, that has hearing aids, and the top speaker and both speakers worked fine.
2) I tested the phone #832 and held it up to my ear, the top speaker did not work, but when I put it on speaker mode, I can hear.
The way to fix is hit the phone application as if you are going to make a call, hit the three ellipse on the upper right side, this is a menu (3 dots) > Settings > Accessibility > Toggle off Hearing Aid.
I am a combat veteran, so I have two Resound Revision hearing aids to help me hear, these through a small 2.5 GH signature that caused the Pixel to automatically Toggle On the Hearing Aid feature.
I hope this solution works out for you.

My initial attempts failed because I was looking in the main system accessibility settings. When I finally went into the phone app and then clicked the 3-dots and selected settings, I was able to select that accessibility menu which contained the Hearing aids option. Turning that option off restored the top speaker phone function. Still no idea of how that option got set . . .
Thanks!
