Whenever I call someone or get called, the person on the other end receives nothing but static/disturbance. This is weird as my phone worked perfectly fine before. I can hear my caller perfectly fine, but they cannot hear me. This is high volume rubbish noise, when I shout, a little of voice makes it through, but it's hardly noticeable. What could this be? Currently I am on the cognition rom.
Here are a few things I tried:
- Another rom, kernel & wiping data, cache & dalvik (no change)
- Speech recorder: works fine. So it can't be the microphone
- Using headset: My headset filters silence and only 'sends out' voice when it recognizes noise. When Im silent, there is no static. As soon as I speak and the headset registers (and sends) voice, the static on the other end returns.

So the phone was working fine for a few days. All calls were clear, however today when I got home and made a call the call was not clear and had a background noise that sounds like a shower. All subsequent calls I make have this background noise and I tried rebooting the phone, putting my sim card in another phone (call was clear on other phone), and tried factory resetting the nexus. The noise still persists.
I was wondering if anyone else experienced this problem and what you would suggest I do. Thanks
edit: Sorry if I wasn't specific, the noise comes in from the earpiece and speakerphone. So it's what I would hear, not the other person. The other person on the line hears me fine without the noise.
EDIT #2: Lol nvm, a reboot fixed the problem.
EDIT: I read Goten's post again, and apparently my problem isn't like his. His problem is with the earpiece and speakerphone being noisy. The problem I'm experiencing is that the person on the line hears a noisy sound during calls.
Does anyone else have this problem?
I noticed that after the update to GRI40 2.3.3 (not sure if it started before that), people are saying that they can't understand me. It's exactly like what Gotenn described. I tested it myself and it sounded as if there's a lot of background noise, kind of like you're near a waterfall or something.
I've downloaded a voice recorder called Tape-a-Talk and my voice recordings are crystal clear, so I'm pretty sure the mic is still fine. Could there be a problem with the noise cancellation mic? Or is this a software problem? I've tried making a call using the handsfree set to make a call, and it sounded good. When I remove the handsfree from the 3.5mm slot, the sound became bad again.
I'm running stock gingerbread 2.3.3 GRI40 on my Nexus One. It was rooted (without unlocking bootloader) when it was on Froyo. It's not rooted on gingerbread because I did not unlock the bootloader.
I appreciate any help that you can give, thanks!
Since flashing 7.1 my sound goes in/out. Sometimes it's all audio, or sometimes just certain things. Right now I get audio in apps and when changing the ring tone volume, but when selecting a ring tone or notification tone, I don't hear anything. Sometimes the dialing noise works, sometimes it's doesn't. Rebooting and/or change my profile doesn't help. I tried changing the overrides in the profile settings and that didn't do anything either.
Anyone had this problem or know how to fix it?
So this only started happened after you flashed CM7? I had a somewhat similar problem because I replaced the back assembly on my phone and replaced the speaker in the process as the old was blown. Apparently, a screw had attached itself to the speaker and was keeping it from seating correct and causing audio to go in it out. In point, it could be a hardware problem and something is wrong with your speaker. Does head phones work, or the actual ear piece?
The speaker works because my phone rings when someone calls me, but sometimes the notification sound doesn't work when I get a text message. At this moment I still can't hear ring tones when I select them in the Sound settings, but it works when I get an incoming call. I know the speaker works fine. Phone calls work normally and if I play a Youtube video I get normal audio (but that didn't work this morning). It definitely seems like a software issue.
My phone was on unrooted Sense before 7.1 so that's all I have to compare it to, but everything worked fine then.
I found out if I switch from Default to Home profile, everything works again, but I can't figure out what in the Default profile is stopping the noise. I've checked everything 10x over.
wow i am currently having the exact same issue
Sound isn't working again. I only have one profile and yesterday I was getting sound with SMS, now I just get vibration. This is really frustrating. Anyone know what to do?
I really wish all the sounds/notifications were set in one place, instead of in the app, in the sound options, AND in the profiles. It's really confusing.
I think it's linked to bluetooth. If I use my headset for a call then turn off bluetooth, there is no audio on the phone (either speaker) until I reboot.
Hi, All.
I have a Samsung S4 and from day 1 I have had this call problem.
When I make or receive calls, the person on the other end cannot hear my voice at all. I have disabled noise reduction both in the settings menu and have toggled it on/off during the call.
Now, I've done a few tests.
1) During calls the other person can hear noises that I simulate such as tapping on the table or tapping on the phone. I tested both the top (for noise cancellation?) microphone and lower microphone and the tapping noise is definitely louder on the lower microphone.
2) Voice works perfectly when using my headset. (Not a network issue)
3) Tested voice recording and it works fine. I spoke on the top of the phone and bottom of the phone (to see if it receives noise on the top microphone) and the voice is definitely louder when voice is coming from the bottom of the phone.
4) Voice command works fine.
5) Calls work find during speaker mode.
Now all I can think of is that this is a problem with my setting or this is a software issue.
Can anybody help me?
Thanks,

So I've factory reset my phone.
Results are I can now BARELY hear my voice SOMETIMES.
Like for example I try speaking in a completely silent environment, they only way the caller hears my garbled up voice is when I cup to phone my mouth.
This even won't work if I turn on the noise reduction feature.
So I'm guessing there is still some noise reduction feature on apart from what we can activate/deactivate during the call and in the settings menu.
Is my voice that ugly that it's now considered to be noise!? I've been told that I have a radio voice :laugh:

Well cant say whats the main cause of the issue may be the mic has some issue
If possible b4 showing it to service centre flash a firmware using Odin and reset the device and then see if the problem is gone check the voice b4 installing any apps etc
Ok, this is my problem, I just got the phone, did a factory reset and then I put my SIM, it gets a good signal and 4G network, I installed all my apps and everything was great, but when I tried to make a test call it seems like the call ends, I only hear the first beep and the sound is gone (but the call is still going), I cant hear the other person, they also cant hear me, I've tried Groove IP and it works great, on the earpiece, headphones, etc. both mics work great, I cant get any sound when calling using the dialer, there is a beep and the earpiece sound is gone.
I also get the "Conditional call forwarding active" pop up.
Any insight on this? :crying:
Thanks
Hello,
When people call me I speak through BT and they sound loud an clear. However when I try to listen to a voicemail I have to be in a dead silent room to even remotely make out what they are saying when playing back through Bluetooth. I have the BT volume turned all the way up. I switch to speaker, they are loud and clear. I'm not sure if this is an android issue or an LG issue.
Also no problem with google driving directions through Bluetooth. THe only time BT is too quiet is when playing back voicemails. I have to switch to speakers every time.
How do you listen to voicemails? Through phone by dialing the voicemail number or through a voicemail app?
Good question. It turns out that the apps is what is quiet. When I dial *86 my voicemail is loud and clear. Any suggestions (other than not using the VM app)?
I ended up trying another VM app and it didn't have the volume issue. Thanks for pinpointing the source of the issue.
Glad it's fixed. Ive only ever tried the T-Mobile voicemail app and it works alright except for the fact that it doesn't turn the screen off when trying to listen to the voicemail and if I manually turn off the screen then it stops playing so the only way I can listen with activating stuff with my face is speaker mode or Bluetooth headset.
