Recently i've installed SuperiorOS and noticed that my voice on phone calls is now really quiet.
Tried using the phone mic and also my earphone, in both cases my girlfriend said my voice was quiet and she had a hard time listening to me on the phone.
While searching for a solution i realized that this is a very common problem with many devices using custom roms.
That being said, is there a fix for this? Maybe a different rom, a Magisk module or even a custom kernel. I don't wanna go back to the stock rom but i'll have to if i don't find a fix for this.
Never experienced any bad RIL call quality in custom ROMs here, at least in Phils. Probably some sort of operator's signal gone bad or related to your carriers dependency.

I don't know, I think it's more of a problem with my microphone.
I can hear people just fine but my voice souds quiet. This also happens on apps like Discord, wich is what makes me think the problem is not related to my carrier.
Anyway, what rom are you using? I might try another one to see if the problem persists

For now, it's POSP Android 10 with Nitrogen R1 or R3 I'm using. And it really is ROM or kernel related problem for mic. Same goes for other Android 10 ROMs too. But not RIL / camera / recorder app mic, at least on what I've used.

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 =(

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.
Can I get a show of hands for the amount of people who have this issue. I've tried numerous 4.3 & 4.4 roms and the e950tmobile fix and I still have the same issue. I can hear them, but they can't hear me. I'm trying to figure out if its limited to me or a small group of users. I'm so tempted to go back to stock and wait for the official 4.4 update.
I have what may be the same issue using T-mobile. If I use a 4.4 ROM with the handset mic, my voice fades in and out and is quite garbled. People describe it as sounding like I'm underwater. The behavior is somewhat different based on the ROM as follows:
4.3 ROM - no handset voice at all
most 4.4 ROMs - no handset voice without the Tmobile Kitkat fix. With the fix, voice using handset mic is as described above
ROMs based on stock - handset mic works fine.
Based on a little experimentation, I think the issue is the noice canceling mic on the top of the phone not being set up correctly by the ROM. If I block the small hole on the top of the phone, voice from the handset clears up somewhat, but is still very faint.
I think disabling the noice canceling mic may fix the the problem, but I haven't found a way to do it yet.
You can count me among those with volume issues on the AT&T E980. The only ROM I could count on was SlimBean, and thanks to recovery issues I can't even get back to that anymore. So I'm back to stock and hoping that we actually see an update to KitKat.

I'm currently running the V5 version of this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2462453
But apparently, I had the same issue last night on this ROM. I received a couple of calls where people kept saying they couldn't hear me. I tested it this morning against voicemail, and the same garbled voice was back. I rebooted the phone and it cleared up.
Still think it's the noise canceling mic and would love to be able to disable it.

It's not too bad, just follow the directions closely (I think they're in the general section). After having done it so many times recently, I don't need to look at them anymore. Although it was difficult to go back to stock after having used Slim for so long!
I've got a head scratcher that I can't fix. I can't hear anything in calls and the other end can't hear me. My speaker and mic work perfectly in all other applications - I can record video and hear the audio in that, I can make and receive calls in Skype and Viber and the speaker and mic work flawlessly in both but the standard phone just doesn't work. I hear the rising been after dialling and then nothing - I can't hear it ringing and can't hear anything once it is answere and the other end don't hear me.
Phone was totally stock (not even rooted) when this first happened and I figured I'd fix it through a new rom so I rooted and first one I tried was an old familiar ARHD (I'd used the equivalent on my last phone) and it was odd as I think that seemed to fix it for the first test call and then stopped again. This seemed to be an oddity as no other rom I've tried even worked once.
I figured something Samsung was still updating after the install and causing the problem so next I tried Cyanogen 11 - didn't work even once. Tried Cyanogen 10.1.3, same thing. Just tried the AOSB rom and still the same thing...
Really not sure what to do now - any ideas?
Thanks,
DF
Hi,
Custom ROMs can be difficult and might be a source of the issue itself. Since your issue was present before installing the custom ROM, we might be able to assist. Please open a support ticket at this link: http://bit.ly/1aOwGy2 and a support agent will be in touch.

Hi,
Thanks for the offer of help but Viber actually works perfectly - it's just the built in phone that stopped working. Unfortunately GiffGaff don't seem to support Viber In for all calls otherwise I would just enable that and not worry about the normal phone not working...
Thanks,
DF
I have seen this problem with a lot of custom ROMs. Whenever the secondary mic is covered, I mean not even completely blocked but even if it is covered. The call quality is very very bad and the person on the other side cannot hear anything (just mumbles at max if I scream out loud). Do any of you have the issue? How do I fix it and if your ROM doesn't have this issue, can you tell me which ROM / Kernel you're on?
Thanks in advance!

Zui 4 stock
No issues
I'm having some issues during call. The person at the other end is complaining about some noise like there is a fan behind me... Is it a custom rom issue? Is there any fix? I have came to know that other people are also facing similar issues. Currently I'm on latest Havoc build.
Just flash xiaomi.eu rom till they fix that.
Deal with it for now.
What... No fix on this? Cant make calls with this ****ty noise..
Tako je.
