problem with microphone

hi
with my P3600 when i make a call handsfree i hear perfectly but who is listening to me no.
with a normal call no problem.
is there anyone else with the same problem?
thanks

Start, settings, microphone AGC. Turning this on makes the microphone more sensitive. It makes it better for hands free, but worse for normal calls. To hear the difference changes the modes and then use the voice recorder.

thanks Raeldor for your answer.
i will try.
bye

I've tried with Agc, but the microphone still doesn't work well.
in an italian forum, many people have this problem.
is it possibile that no one here has this problem too?
thanks.

Bluetooth poor quality

With different headsets the other part can't hear me well. Am i the only one?

Unfortunatelly not.Happens to me too and i know for sure one more s200 owner that has the same problem (from Eten users forum).However it is not due to poor bluetooth performance because it happens when using the built in microphone and speaker as well.It has something to do with the gsm module(my opinion).If you call someone and he/she is in a noisy environment the chances are that your voice won`t go through.It is as if the phone isn`t capable of dual way conversation (both receiving and transmitting voice data simultaneously)!!!! The problem is present in all oem roms that i have flashed.
Not sure if it is a rom bug or a defective batch of phones.Will have to contact Acer to inform about this "minor" problem.

That is exactly my problem plus the other part complaints for some punctuations of speech from time to time. I bought it from Clove in October.

Isn`t anyone else experiencing the same problem?

My Problem Is Worse
Often, after a while, the microphone just doesn't work. I answer a call and no one can hear me. This happens everyday. Also, same thing with apps. I open live search to do a voice search and the mic doesn't work. I don't know what the hell is going on with this thing. If anyone has suggestions I'd be glad to try something else. I don't know if its rom specific for me. Using the 3.03 official rom from acer.

The same problem here. I bought it in april updated to 3.003c and many people say, that they do not hear me on headset. I mostly use it with the headset (original Acer).
The other problem is, that I hear the other part perfectly loud, but there is some pulsing tone or noise in the background. Very annoying.
I use Resco Audio recorder, and with strong noise filter and gain control the recorded sound is perfect only the live sound is bad.
Is there an update or patch or reg or something for this ?

Call quality has been a persistant problem with all Eten, Glofiish and now Acer phones--speaking as someone who has owned 6 of them in ascending lineage I can only add my frustation---however--the fact that they have continue to make the most slim, fast, modifyable and powerful units keeps pulling me back.---This "half -duplex" effect where the called party cannot hear you while they are speaking, however, is something new and especially irksome. One of these days.....

I had X500, X800 (wife: M810) ... there was never a problem with the mic volume or the headphone mic volume (wired, not wireless).
After going from X800 to S200 everyone says that they can not hear me.
This half-duplex, full-duplex thing seems to be true, the s200 seems to be much more half-duplex than X800 was.
Hoping for something to make it better ...

[Q] low volume in call

I have this problem.
when im in conversation, the volume is very low. but when im listening to music is much higher.
does anyone have this problem as well?
I know its not a reception problem, since i've tried to talk from same place to the same number (which is land line) with WM and with ANDROID.

I am experiencing the same problem. Maybe we need an Audio Gain driver.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

I think in general Android in call volume is low.
I also experience this with Nexus One.
I did install WOW SRS on the HD2 WM rom and it seems to increase the volume of Android running on it.
Can someone confirm this on their devices?

do you feel diffrent in android as well or only in WM?

for me its low only in incoming calls but its good in outgoing calls, any idea why ? people said it a wenn known issue in android and has been solved here , i search a lot with no luck .

I am also noticing this. incoming call volume is low and muffled. outgoing call quality is perfect.

Same problem for me too.
I've noticed a similar problem with loudspeaker too, but in this case, disabling and enabling the loudspeaker during the call usually solves the problem.

You must have the ringer on. The rule of thumb is this.
If the speaker is on (playing something) when a call is made/received. There is low volume in call.
50/50 when you are dialing out. You have the dial touch tone disabled or there was enough time for the speaker to re-gain control (<---?) and thus the call volume is good.
I am praying this issue gets fix pronto.. ... I live in a very very noisy city and I can barely hear the earpiece.

well, my problem is in both calls, the volume for it is lower than WM volume
I guess there is no solution for it for now, might be better later (hopefully).

During the call turn speaker on then off real quick this will raise the volume for you

Hello
A simple solution that worked for me was... Settings>Sound Then turn off audible touch tones. Got this from another member the other day.

G900F Incall Microphone very quiet

From the various searching Ive done this seems to be a problem effecting quite a few people. MIne was working fine although now when i make a call noone can hear what im saying. One suggestion ive read was to increase the microphone gain in the service menu.
Does anyone know how to do this as im struggling to find what to do? Or any other suggestions of what to try. I dont think the microphone is damaged as I can record fine from the phone, unless this uses the other mic?
Thanks
Andy

Found this:
If this is a known issue with fix then I apologize, but I searched for hours and couldn't find it mentioned. Since Verizon disabled engineer mode, I had to experiment, going through every app that involved sound recording/input.
When I first got my S5, phone calls were fine. Then one day, no one could hear me unless I basically yelled. The built in microphones were fine for camera/sound recording/tuner usage so I knew they were undamaged. If you are having this problem and have used headphone with your S5, this is probably what happened as I can replicate it 100% of the time.
If you are on a call using your headphones/microphone and unplug them before you end the call, the phone microphone is not properly reset and the gain stays very low.
To remedy, simply plug your earbuds with microphone back in, make a call and then end the call before you remove the headphones. The built in S5 microphone then properly resets for regular gain for phone calls.

Thanks for your reply, ive tried that although still no improvement. Really starting to annoy me now!

Microphone Issues on Asus Zenfone 2 Laser Ze550kl

Hello All
I bought myself an Asus Zenfone 2 Laser Ze550KL a couple of weeks back.
An overall good phone. But I am facing an irritating issue.
The phone's microphone does not work from some point onwards. Once this happens, when attending(or making) a call, the other person wont be able to hear me.
I am not sure whether its a hardware issue or a software issue. Because once I restart the phone everything is perfect once again. After maybe a couple of calls, the problem resurfaces.
I read in multiple forums of this issue (even in Zentalk) , but nobody has a clean solution. Some of the solutions were -to disable Ok Google Detection, to enable call recording, to switch to loudspeaker, to reboot the phone and so on.
Enabling loud speaker works for me. When I realize the other person cannot hear me, I switch to loud speaker and then he is able to hear me.
Did anybody come across this issue? Is it a software issue? Any help/ideas/suggestions would be nice.
I am hoping its a software bug which will be hopefully fixed in the next system update or so.
Thanks

Hmm that's an odd one I can tell you that I have call recording enabled on a ze551kl and haven't had this issue, but I'm not sure if its specific to the 550 or not. I haven't actually recorded any of my calls, it just pops up and asks me if I want to every time and I tap cancel.

Its not about recording calls.. Its about the recipient not hearing me. The microphone is what is bothering me. I doubt the issue is with the noise cancellation of microphones. Perhaps cancelling more than noise.
When I reboot the phone, everything starts working normally. After a few calls the problem returns, the recipient not hearing me!.
The temporary fix for me is switching to loud speaker. I dont know why, but the mic starts working when in loud speaker. The moment i switch it back to handson, the recipient is again not able to hear me.
Read a few forums in zentalk reporting the same issue
www(dot)asus.com/zentalk/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=14486
I am seriously hoping it is a software bug which would be fixed in the next update or so.
I tried the hardware test which behaves differently when the problem occurs and when it is problem free.
The hardware test is perfect if i test the mic just after reboot and when everything is normal.
But once i find out that the recipient is unable to hear me (after maybe a couple of calls/days after the reboot) , i did the hardware test again and certainly was different. A buzz at all times with my voice being completely muffled. Something to do with the noise cancellation mic i believe.
I have tried disabling OK Google Detection.
I have tried enabling call recording.
I have tried reseting factory settings , clear wipe partitions etc.
I have tried enabling dialer pad tones (Dont know why this was marked as a solution in some forums)
But all of the above was not a solution for me. Switching to loudspeaker works. And rebooting the phone (which is irritating during important calls) also works.
Any help would be nice.

To OP,
This is for most of the guys. It's a software issue, dont worry, Just update to latest update. Which happened to me the same, and solved when i updated some random OTA update fix by asus. So the current version on my phone now is LRX22G.WW_user_1.15.40.639_20151029044030520_201505210103

Hi I too have this same issue. I believe it is a faulty model from Asus! I had serviced my mobile last month and the Subboard assembly has been completely changed by those people but still I face the same issue. . Hope I will throw away this bulsh**t soon. Asus not willing for replacement too I argued so many times which is just waste of time. Totally a waste of money and time.

Microphone issue
I am also having same problem once restarted phone is all fine...should i replace phone ??
Bought just 2 days back

Solution
Since you apply this solution the error has not returned to flicks: I cannot post the youtube link, but search the title: Solved: Asus Zenphone 2e mic problem by Jack Scorpion.

I have the same device with the same problem! It was neglible before, and it happened very rarely. But recently it had become worse and that thing happened to all the calls. Switching to loudspeaker works (loudspeaker mode disables the bottom mic and switches to top mic). I reset the device to factory settings (that thing wiped the internal memory too!) and since then, i haven't updated the 'ASUS Calling Screen' from the play store and everything works fine atleast till now.

hai friend try (ASUS ZenFone 2 Laser=ZE550KL (Z00L) software Image: 1.17.40.1234 for WW SKU only) this firmware from asus site or try system update form your mobile. thats old version runing firmware running on your mobile so thats a software problem. this a network issue in that old version asus team doing always best i am also have same problem in past month but my current update installed after working fine. so don worry friends

Try disabling Audio Wizard app

I am also facing same problem. Suddenly the mic of my asus fails to work.

Solution
There is solution. Please post it on another forums after you will check it.
Just hold your phone in your hand in position, which will make sound to reflect directly into your voice microphone. This way you will make a difference in signal between voice and noise cancellation microphone. That's how voice cancellation technology works. I have got this result after one week of search for any effective solution. And did not find any useful info. So I have find a solution after some experiments.
Please post it to another forums if it will solve your problem.
