I think that is a problem with 4.2.2 rom.

Which Skype version? 3.2 or the latest 4.0 abomination? If it's the latter I wouldn't blame a ROM lightly - the latest Skype is a complete fiasco quality-wise.

Yeah the new skype is really bad. If I receive a call, then the sound only goes through the ear piece but if I initiate the call then the sound routes through the loud speaker.

Yeah, this is completely Skype's fault. To work around the issue, make a voice call in Skype first, hit the speakerphone button, and then hit the video button :good:

The version is 4.0.0.19550 :<(
I will try to uninstall and reinstall 3.2 version.

HELP. Talking in skype with loudspeaker

How do you turn on the loud speaker while using skype ? I tried pushing the phone button and hold , then the dial phone came up lol. Thank you guys

At the moment, Skype calls only come through the loudspeaker or a headset. We’re working on this, but in the meantime, please use a headset for the best audio quality.

So yeah. It should come on on it's own. Have you got the latest version?
what's the latest version ? what I have got is version 2.105, the one that comes already in my ROM.
From that info, I should be able to turn on the loudspeaker, but I can only hear it through the ear speaker. what button do you press ?
2.2 is the latest version, but be warned, it has the opposite problem to you, in that you can't listen through the phone speaker, it only comes out through the loudspeaker.
Get 2.2 here
oh man. I think that's bad too lol. sometimes I need private conversations

VoIP on SGS

Please look anybody the SipDroid application working on SGS!
Do I hear the conversation from the earspeaker or the external speaker? (this is interesting because the echo)
I'm useing Asterisk server and I would like to use the pda like a softphone.
With SipDroid i get sound from earpiece. Call quality is quite decent.
I tried a few other VoIP apps and some of them work on earpiece, some not.
Sipdroid works fine.
Others don't. i can hear the other party but they can't hear me.
The same goes to Fring.

Thanx. Give please the version number of SipDroid working properly.
Several questions:
Can you switch between earpiece and external speaker?
Does the program online when it is in 3G and the device is standby?
What about the incoming call during screenlock?

yes - but with external speaker there is a lot of echo. even using earpiece i had to lower earpiece volume as well as mic gain to eliminate all echo.

It wakes up and lets you answer just like with the native phone app.

Are you using pbxes or your own voip provider?
Because I can't get Sipdroid to work on SGS.
On pbxes I can, but the quality is not good and the sound comes out of back speaker and sometimes earphone, its not consistent. I can't get the sound to come out of the earpiece though.
So someone post a solution please. I'm using the latest 1.5.4 beta.
Set the servername to pbxes.com on the phone, and not to pbxes.org. This should solve your earpiece (sound from eksternal speaker) problem.

Unfortunately, this doesn't help with the problem at all. Sound still comes from external speaker and earspeaker, inconsistently.

On the I7500, apparently they had the same issue, so made a VOIP kernel..
And yes, I have the same problem.
My workaround at the moment is:
When I receive a call
- I hold it
- wait a few seconds
- then unhold
Then usually the audio doesn't come from the back speaker anymore.
Still, we really need a patched Kernel for this.

[Q] Having problems on call volume on the other side of the call

Hi, does anyone have same problem as I? Almost everyone I call is telling me they can hear me very low. I can hear them perfectly and all of the rest regarding sound volume is perfect.

Check to see if you have any gunk in the mic hole. I highly doubt that your mic is the issue.

I've got exactly the same problem. The phone is brand new, the mic hole is not blocked at all. I dont want to send it to service beacause it takes like 2 weeks to get it solved. Are there any service codes for sm-g900f to solve such issues? Any suggestions?

it happens to me sometimes. I am not sure if it is a fault in the handset or something else. normally it works fine, but yes I started getting complaints that my voice is far away after buying the S5 (happened to me 3 or 4 times within one month)

Try turning off Noise Reduction in the dialer settings menu. This will cause this type of problem for some people. The other TW builds that have it, also have a touchscreen button so it can be easily disabled while in-call but ours is buried in the menu.

Good deal.
I used to have a lot of problems with that feature on my Galaxy SIII.
But it didn't seem to affect everyone.

It has not solved mine, though. I noticed that if there is an app running in the bacground it worsens the case. Do not know why. Perhaps I will debrand my phone and change it to xeo.

Moto x play (Indian version) microphone not working

Hello everybody
I own a Moto x play. Everything is fine except for the microphone. It does not pick up or transfers my voice very faintly to the other side. Most of the time ive to shout to get the message theough. Please note that the microphone records fine. I've tried it even after holding it at varied lenghts from the sound source to see if it works, no issues at all.
It has the problem only during calls.
Pls suggest a solution for the same.
I use a cruzerlite back cover and have no screen guards on.
does the issue happens too when you remove the back cover?

Yes it does persist even after removing the cover.
But recording is fine.
Guys here's another update.
I've tried the online mic test too....
The microphone works wonderfully.
But during calls its ****ty. It'd sound as if someone turned down the volume.
Could it be the noise reduction function of the phone? :crying:

you can edit build.prop to disable noise cancellation, but you need to be rooted for that.

Did you try… rebooting?
Press and hold the power key for 30 seconds for a “soft reset” (I do not know why it is called that).

Try another headphones. Otherwise when you wiped everything there's nothing you can do when you're device is stock(bootloader locked)
