Hi
Is possible to boost in call mic volume?

+ 1. Seems like a common problem.
Same here. Tried on a call with W810i. The volume level is very low for the receiving side. And nearly all people I've called since buying this phone implied my voice was low.
Notified Huawei. After trying root and setting hw_secondary_mic to 1 (in system/build.prop) (can't link yet) I may think about going for warranty or simply returning back (it has been a few days.)
Cover the secondary mic with your finger makes your voice louder at quiet environments.
At noisy places the secondary mic seems work just fine.
maybe a bad software implementation of noise suppression?

Has anyone found a hack to increase the speaker volume when holding the JAM to your ear. My hearing is not good at all...remember when mom used to say "turn that music down, you'll go deaf" turns out the old girl was right.
The volume on the JAM seems even lower to me since doing the latest ROM update. There must be a registry setting to increase the volume. I've not seen anything that jumps out, but I'm willing to bet that there is a way.

low earpiece volume
hi paragon,
I fully support your criticism about the poor audio level at max setting. There must be sufficient potential in increasing the audio level since there is the loudspeaker function available.
Now 2 people are waiting desperately for a solution by a honourable specialist which allows for an icrease of the basic volume setting.

Well, the speakerphone on this thing isn't actually isn't any louder than the regular earpiece!
did anyone find a solution to this one?? I hope it's not the old change the rom to 1.12? I'm happy so far with 1.06 apart from the low front speaker volume.

i'm using 1.12 and i struggle to hear ppl as well. i ran by this app earlier today on i forgot which site that says its the ultimate hack tool. i'll browse through my histor and see if i find it and figure out if it can increase the volume.
Unfortunately it's generally considered that it's not possible to activate speakerphone programmatically, which will mean that automatically switching to speakerphone isn't going to help too much.
I tried setting up a profile to turn the volume down to a reasonable level, and then activate speakerphone and use that as the earpiece. That way the screen doesn't get sweaty and you've got better sound straight to the ear. However, some people on the other end of the line say the recieved sound isn't so great. I don't see why it should be any worse. Play around with AGC in the settings panel. Anyone else care to report on this idea?

i found the app, its tweaks2k2net unfortunately nothing with earpiece volume... and about the using the speakerphone instead, i've had ppl complain that they cant hear my clearly as well.. is the mic also bad on this phone?
My earpiece volume too low.
I have hard time hearing people talking on the phone when outside of the house.
Anyone have any idea how to fix this ?
I have max out the volume in the setting even send to replace for another set.
It is the same.
There is a tweak with the secret service menu, BUT unfortunately the new settings cannot be saved so it is useless.
Indeed, the earpiece is crap (in terms of volume, not quality), the same for the speaker. I wish there was a permanent tweak...
There is HAC for vibrant. hoping there is a hack for SGS .
Is there any way to adjust the microphone volume? I just got mine and so far it's really great, but when I tested gchat the mic volume was way too low and the other person could hardly hear me. I also tested it by taking video and using the volume rocker but it didn't do anything. Still low volume.
Anybody? Am I the only one here?
Can somebody please test theirs out and confirm the volume?
microphone issues
I too am also having microphone issues, i.e. when on a gchat (video) the person on the other end can barely hear me. Video chat worked great but whats the point if you cant be heard? Havent found any mic sensitivity settings. Any help or ideas?
I talked directly with Samsung and customer support didn't know anything about anything really. He told me tthat the volume keys control mic level which isn't true. He also said ther sshould be a mic volume button in chat which also isn't true. Maybe the feature iis built into their touchwiz update but we'll see about that.
In the meantime i know that wearing headphones while on chat video solves the issue, which memeans its most likely an overly aggressive noise canceling issue that should bbe aable toto be fixed with a software patch.
Ignore the typos. The keyboard lag is horribly frustrating!
When using GrooVe IP I found the same issue. The person on the other side could not hear me unless I had the tablet up to my face as if I was talking on the phone. The mic is definitely not calibrated to work in speakerphone mode and I am not sure how to force it.
I've been using android for over 2 years and I have never seen anything to control the sensitivity of the mic. I bet this could be done in software easily if I know knew how to program. Maybe one of the devs could make a widget that forces the device to always be in speakerphone mode.

Its gotta be as simple as turning off or modifying the noise cancelation on the mic.
Hi guys,
Recently bought a Note 3 N9005 and just wanted to confirm if anyone else is experiencing problems with people listening to you while on speakerphone.
I realised after a few days of use that many people are complaining on the other end of the call quality. I sound too low and far away. When I switch off speakerphone the call quality changes drastically on the other end. One person compared the difference as going from a 10 to a 2 when switching to speakerphone.
This has to be a software problem as when I turn speakerphone off and hold the phone away from me the person on the other end says I still sound loud enough. This points to maybe the volume level for the mic is set too low, but I could be wrong and it may be just my phone.
I'm coming from a Note 1 which has excellent call quality on either end with speaker phone. Because of the size of these phones I tend to use speakerphone a lot and very reliant on it. I also noticed at max volume there's a bit of a vibrating sound during volume peaks on speakerphone also, but that is not an issue as it's plenty loud at one notch lower.

Your experiences are appreciated guys.

On my end it's fine. It's the other end that has trouble listening, which leads me to believe the mic on the Note 3 during speaker calls is not set high enough.
I think i've worked it out. This only appears to happen on calls with another person who's phone is also compatible with HD Voice. This did not happen with a normal voice call today. The other end could hear me just fine.
This could be crap if it really is only happening with HD Voice calls as more and more phones are becoming compatible with it. Hopefully it can be fixed with software if it's the case.
Thanks for weighing in though Baste07, appreciate it.
Just go to settings, sound, call, uncheck noise reduction option. Now you can talk 5m away from your phone with crystal clear voice
Solved
So I followed the instructions here regarding the sound noise reduction thing and worked as planned, after done everything possible, including factory reset and opening and cleaning the hardware, I had a hitch that wasn't hardware, so yes it was the new system. If your phone loudspeaker microphone isn't working is because the noise reduction feature inside settings. Look up there and remove it.

HI there guys.
Brand new to this forum.
I've searched for days and I'm unable to find a solution.
I'm experiencing a crackling or a distortion on phone calls at certain volumes. I noticed it with certain pitches in peoples voices it would cause a vibration in the ear speaker and some distortion in the sound. Kind of like the speaker is being over driven or has too much power going to it. It usually goes away if I turn the volume almost all the way down, but this is obviously not a practical option since I'm not always making phone calls in a dead silent room. The speaker phone works fine. This only happens when I'm using the earpiece. Is this normal? Is it related to the camera autofocus sensor rattle? Are the sound vibrations from a person's voice enough to set off the rattle? It's really annoying as I tend to make phone calls a lot and I don't like using speaker phone or a headset. Does anyone else have this problem?
From what I can tell, it happened and was normal in the S4. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2280930).
Please help. Im deciding if i need to return it.

It's too bad that you didn't describe it in more detail.. i.e. give us steps to replicate it. A recording of the distortion would have been helpful too. I haven't noticed what you describe but it sounds like the gain or auto gain is too high and your earpiece speaker is being overdriven.
There is a gain setting in the service mode menu but first you need to distinguish an app issue or possibly damaged speaker before messing around in the hidden settings. See if you can find an audio app that will give you a wider adjustment range for your system volume and gain.,

Thank you for the reply.
If you go into the service menu, the go into the low frequency test. At 100hz and 200 hz there is a little bit of buzz in the headset reciever unless you really push it against your face (which i assume kind of tightens the spaces in the plastic and prevents whatever vibration in the speaker is occuring).
Hmm.. the vibration is akin to as if you were speaking into some cellophane wrap; like some film (maybe for waterproofing) is covering the speaker.
Oh. It's also worth noting that I cannot replicate the issue on Skype or Viber. Those sound crystal clear.
Bump. Anyone?
