Hello
My roommates EPIC 4g is having an issue with the earpiece. While in a call the earpiece will not make any sound, slide the keyboard out while in the same call and the earpiece works fine. Speakerphone works 100% as well
Trying to figure out what the deal is with this phone, thanks.
Edit: Phone is unrooted, latest 2.2 release from sprint

Its a hardware issue. Bring it to Sprint.

I'm sure I'm not the only frustrated with the uunusually low maximum call volume for the g2 which makes conversations in crowded places pretty difficult. I just wanted to know if this is something that can be fixed with an ota update or root, or are we stuck with this limitation? Thanks in advance

This is something I would like to know as well. I think that's the only thing bothering me about this phone now that Paul Obrian's awesome VISONary app is installed. The speaker is pretty low too.

I agree as well. The in-call voice volume is pretty low, and makes it pretty hard hear what the person on the other end is saying.
I know with the vibrant that there was a code you could dial, and it would take you to some more phone options. We did this to try to fix the GPS in its early stages.
When I'm on Bluetooth and I get off the phone from a call, I can hear the earpiece making a pop sound continually and at seemingly random intervals. If I turn the earpiece off and shut down bluetooth on the phone it quits. I can turn BT back on and never hear it again until I get off a call. It does not do this when or after streaming audio from Pandora etc.
I'm on Viper ROM trinity 3.0.3
I have Odin'd the DK28 modem etc.
Basically, I'm on DK28 and I've had this dilemma w/ other ROMs so I'm wondering if it's a froyo problem or something else ?
I have been experiencing this for a while myself. Sometimes I am able to get it to stop by placing another phone call and switching it back to the handset. I've never been able to make it stop by shutting down BT, though... The only reliable way I've made it stop is a reboot.
I just had someone else test for me. He was running a modified EB13 and he doesn't have the issue. So, I'm just sitting back and waiting for Viper on EB13.

Loyal user of ViperROM!
I've had this issue ever since dk28. I also have and issue with a2dp capable headsets losing sync or only syncing the phone profile. :-(

Happens to me when using A2DP-compatible headsets.

I can confirm this. Samsung modus 3500 a2dp headset on Viper ROM. Sound popping after using.
This happens to me on a Nexus S 4G.
Always happens here, I just reboot when I am done with bluetooth
Yep, this was an issue I routed through the tech forums, months ago.. Got an investigation started, but no reply or resolution before I quit. Almost every epic i've ever had in my hands, did this.

i was going to get this for my wife in sept when we're allowed our full upgrade... not gonna happen now..
I just received the jabra stone 2 for x mas here is the issue.
it can pair to the epic 4g but I cannot hear any sound. The caller can hear me but I cannot hear them. On the phones display I can see the bluetooth volume which is turned all the way up. i tried everything i know how any suggestions.
No one. Need some insight. I went back to stock rom still same issue. I looked everywhere possible, is there a rom that fixes bluetooth issues?

So I am sitting here trying to talk to family from my Epic to their landline. They can barely hear me. I have been getting reports lately more and more of people saying they cannot hear me.
So I grab my wifes stock epic and call them back. They state it is soooo much better that they can hear me now. I call back from mine and same exact low volume to them. I can hear them fine though.
I have Bonsai on my phone. I haven't tried flashing back to stock yet to see if that fixes it but I highly doubt it will. Is there any hidden setting to make my voice louder?
I am guessing I will go to the store and use my insurance to swap my phone.
Anyone else heard of this issue with the epic?
Odin back too stock and try it. If its better flash srf 1.1.1 with ee03 modem. Try that.
Or might just be a bug with your phone. Obviously if stock odin doesn't fix. Time too take it too sprint
I also had this problem with using sfr. I think that it had somthing to do with voodoo sound. Went back to stock with odin and reflashed sfr. I also changed some settings in the voodoo sound control app. Something that I did made it so that people can hear me without me yelling into the mic.

Ever since I moved to EE03, my mic has gone to crap when using the speaker. Same issue as in OP, very low volume and folks on the other end complain they can barely here me. Doesn't occur when I toggle the speaker off.
Clear Voodoo Control's data and don't mess with any settings except the ones in the first section. I had the same problem and doing this fixed it. Report back.
I'm pretty sure that its when you change the default setting in the Recording Presets menu but I'm not really sure. I don't really have any use for using my phone as a recorder so I just leave them alone anyways.
DUDE! check the mic hole and clean it
no lie it worked on mine
Change the Recording Preset in Voodoo Sound to Original. That should get you the same "volume" that others hear you at when using your wife's stock Epic.

Never thought about the mic hole. Will try that first..something so simple. I remember when I got my TP2 I forgot the sticker over the mic hole.
Mic hole was clean. Odin to latest stock. Mic volume is back! Woot! I don't have to go to the sprint store. It was the Bonsai Rom causing the issue.
Were you using a voodoo sound kernel?

ee03
Hey guys personally i think its a bug with ee03. Ive tried the swiss cheese, ive tried marcusants both v5 and v6 and midnightroms ee03 rom. I started a thread in q&a with almost 100 people who saw it and 1 who commented. It has nothing to do with cleaning the mic or buying a new headset.(although bluetooth solved the problem for me, but i prefer my wired headset...)I was using the stock wired samsung headset that came with the phone. All my phone calls had a low mic volume. I odined back to ec05 and my mic volume went back to normal. The only time ive noticed the problem was when i was using ee03. If some devs could look into it, im sure alot of us would be grateful. I now know im not alone with that problem. Also ee03 doesnt come with voodoo sound. So there is nothing to adjust, as there is no voodoo sound...However as much as i miss the smooth transitions and battery life of ee03. i had to go back to ec05 and for those of you who odined back down, well you know what i mean when i say i miss ee03. But the biggest problem is one that cant be overlooked.....MIC VOLUME....

You could of saved yourself a lot of trouble had you bothered to read your own post lol.
Never had any voodoo programs. Always try to keep the voodoo out of my devices

Bonsai has voodoo built in, all you gotta do is get the voodoo app from the market and change the recording preset back to normal.

Just thought I would let everyone know ef02 doesn't have the low mic volume issue and I also found and app in the market for gingerbread devices that really helps with audio volume. Besides using voodoo control plus you can also use volume+. I use both......

Sounds like a personal problem.

I'm making a new thread for this because it applies to cm7 and miui and will get buried in their threads.
Basically im assuming MIC volume is maxed out. Your own voice can feedback into the speaker when on a call. You sound distorted to the person on the other end, especially when you're not in a quiet location. Basically making the phone part of the phone un usable. I have had this happen on all cm7 miui builds.
Also speaker volume can not be changed when the screen is off
Known issue acknowledged by Uber that is somehow involved with the mic feedback resolution. They are working on it, but I have no idea when it'll be fixed. Flashing Bushido or Shadow kernel seems to help.

Having the same problem! Thought it was the replacement phone I just got but on stock 2.3, the mic sounds great.
Distortion and low mic threshold. Picks up way too much background noise.
"sounds like you're surfing"
