Speaker phone problem. - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello. I have problem with my Galaxy S5 G900H.
Whenever I turn on speaker to talk to people, the person on the other line cannot hear me properly. The sounds flickers and very distorted.
I believe something is wrong with the top microphone. Or is this software related.
Any idea would be great. Thank you.

Did you tried to use another network ? If yes then its may b hardware fault. Get replacement asap.
For try you can reset your software but must backup your data first.
What it will do is reinstall software freshly which can also help to fix bugs.

Just bought S5 (SM-G900H) from India. I have the exact same problem as the OP. If I put the call on speaker the person on the other end can not hear me clearly. As such, the speaker volume is too low and feeble even if I put it on maximum volume. My wife's Moto G3 is at least three times louder. Also, I think the mic is too insensitive. Unless I speak pretty close to the mic the person on the other end can not hear me. On my previous Galaxy S2 and Xperia Z3c I could put on speaker and leave it on the table. I could be even few meters away from the phone and I could still be audible to the other person. I am in a good network (AirTel) area. You think its going to be a hardware issue and I should ask for a replacement? Or is it something that can be moded if I root? I am still on stock 4.4.2, not rooted and not having any case on the phone.

Extremely low microphone volume during calls

Callers at the other end have difficulty hearing me, and I've never been able to find a solution. At first, I thought it's the ROM I was using, but after flashing the stock rooted ROM, same problem. I'm using the correct baseband. I'll do a test tomorrow, returning the phone to factory condition with the latest images from Google.
Has anybody gotten this problem and was able to fix it?
Update: Back to factory condition. Issue still isn't fixed.
Newer update: Called Google Play Store via this number 1-855-836-3987. They'll be sending a replacement.
Bump. No one else has had this issue?
Bump.. Same issue here.. Stock unrooted

Maybe you can get yours replaced by warranty. I called Google Play Store (that's where I bought mine from) and I'll be receiving a replacement.

While i am not stock, I did notice this one time with my phone... like extremely LOW to the point i was pressing the phone HARD against my ear to hear.
Solution? I went ahead and flashed Paranoid Android 3.56 and flash the Louder volume MOD in the themes and apps section. That fixed my issue, I also know that not all of you will want to root, and that this SUCKS. but try to restart the phone.
Just root guys, this phone was made for that

Oh actually the issue I'm talking about is different. The ear piece volume is fine, but whenever I talk to someone on the phone, they can barely hear me unless I use speaker phone. I was actually using Paranoid Android, and I was being told I can barely be heard. So I flashed back to factory to see if it was a ROM issue. Sadly it wasn't.. On factory ROM I can still barely be heard.

I'm having the same problem as well. Just received my Nexus 4 last week. They especially can't hear me if I'm speaking to them through my car speakers (3.5mm connection, not bluetooth). Wasn't a problem at all in the same vehicle with my Galaxy Nexus. Please let us know if the replacement worked better.

I am also having the same problem...my girl keeps shouting that she can not hear me..at first i thought some problem with network but than some of ma friends said same thing...whats the option now..?? i am from india and i imported it from US so cnt send back there..is anyone found any solution..??
I tried using headsets and the results were pretty much better..
Wish I could help. Just had to RMA mine today. Completely stock, no mic. Works when plugged in, sometimes, but for the most part no audio. When it is plugged in, the wife says I sound like I'm trapped in a bottle lol echo and static.
I had the same problem when I was running full stock. It was really annoying to hear "I can't hear you..." every other sentence.
This won't help if you do not want to root or run custom ROMs but since I switched to PA 3.56 and Matr1x kernel the people on the other end of the line haven't been complaining. I imagine for whatever reason it was fixed would apply to most custom ROMs and Kernels. I'll actually test this out this weekend and edit my post afterwards.
Edit: I made some calls to friends on PA/Matr1x/Radio .48 and everything seemed fine. I flashed full stock and called back the same people and only one person said they heard a noticeable decrease in the quality. That person also knew I was testing different settings on my phone so maybe they were messing with me.

Bumping an old thread ...
So my gf started complaining that she could barely hear me when I was using my Klipsch S4A headphones to talk--while in the car and in a quiet room. I was on CM10.1 at the time and I had read complaints from others with the same/similar issue on other ROMs, even stock/unrooted. I chalked it up to 4.2 and hoped 4.3 would fix it.
It appears that isn't the case. I just sacrificed root so I could flash a clean install of 4.3 (new bootloader and radio included) hoping it would at least mean I could have normal conversations with my gf again while the devs cook up CM10.2. How bummed am I to find out that the issue persists. I just called her from my office with my headset on and she said I "still sound far away." This is really frustrating. I never had this issue on my GNex.

I wish someone comes up with a solution for this.. I was hoping 4.3 would solve this issue also. Some say its cause of the noise reduction, isn't there anyway we could disable noise reduction?! I remembered I had that option on CM10 my i9300 but not on nexus 4 build.. This is really an issue for me since i always use headset for phone calls.. I was wondering if the original Nexus 4 headset would solve this issue.

Hi guys,
i found 2 "solutions" which didnt work for Nexus 4:
1: typing *#*#3646633#*#* into the phone to enter the engineering mode. "Should" work for all Android, does not for Nexus 4
2: the App "MobileUncle". Does only work for MTK Chipsets (Nexus 4 has another one)
my question: is there something like the Engineering mode for the Nexus 4 ?
Same issue on Nexus 5
FYI, the nexus 5 has the low input volume gain when using 3.5mm headphones with inline mics. I don't understand what LGs problem is with 3.5mm connections or why it was never tested.
started a discussion on in here
Any solution yet???
I have the exact same Issue, Android 4.4.2 and the issue is not fixed weird that only Nexus 4 has it. I am like you trying to find an app or a way to work around the issue, tried to install other ROM using rom manager and phone when SLOW as heck so no idea how to fix it yet, loud speaker to every single call is not the way to go

[Q] Noise cancellation sounds terrible

Just after getting my G2 i installed CyanogenMod 10.2 Milestone on it. I started doing some tests to see if CM could be my daily driver, and nothing really seemed to be a deal breaker, except, when i try to record videos (or I'm guessing any other sound recorder) the sound it not really that great. I went back to the stock LG software, and was hoping i only had to stay there until CM fixed the noise cancellation issue. But what do i find, the noise cancellation problem is still there.
I have been looking around here on the XDA forums, (This is my first post btw) and I came across this (what seemed like) amazing mod. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2471900 But it might just be me being a droid-noob (Have only had android for 2 weeks now), but i cant figure out how to get this to work, it even bumps up the quality of pictures and videos including other cool tweaks. I have tried installing the .zip file via CWM, but that gave me nothing, also tried installing the cameraapp.apk the thread provided, but it just refused to install.
So please, if any droid-guru can help me make my microphone sound better, (both in the stock software and in CM) i would appreciate it!
Are you using some cover on the G2 ? If so, try removing it as it might cause disturbance to the reference microphone.

I do not have a cover or case, and I know the noise cancellation is software related. My phone is the D802, the one without a rear-facing microphone, maby that can have something to do with it?
I have the same problem witm my lg g2.After I record a video or use voice recorder the sound freezing and the quality is very poor.I thought that I have only my this problem...My phone is not rooted and I have it from yesterday morning.Today I sow this problem.I made a factory reset and the problem is not solved.Is something that I can do with this issue?
so title should be cm10.2 Noise cancellation, lol

I have thought about that, but I've heard a few other people have this problem as well, and im 99% sure it is software related. Though to every rule there is an exception..
Just some more info. Here is a video i recorded going home from work, and as you can hear the sounds are very "Watery" or "Distorted" as many describe it. (The bad video quality is a combination of my using CM10.2, only recording in 720P and YouTubes bitrate being bad as always)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mgdtWzoQkOU&feature=youtu.be
And no, I did NOT cover up any of the microphones, im 100% sure about that.

Video uses the rear mic for audio zoom. Not even sure if it cancels as well like the top. Verizons model ONLY has a top. I have no distortion or watery sound when using stock recorder or on video. I however do get dead silence between some sounds, very good cancellation, sometimes a bit too much. Voice Privacy in dailer has NOTHING to do with voice cancellation. It is an algorithm used to encrypt voice communications and is worthless being hacked long ago. VS980

I have the d802, and that does not have rear mounted microphone. So maybe it is just some bad optimization. There has got to be a way to disable the noise cancelling microphone, or use it as a secondary mic.
Sent from my LG-D802 using Tapatalk
Okay..
So basically every rom out there for the G2 has terrible sound when it comes to the microphone, but there is a fix, i'm sure!
A few weeks back i downloaded the AOSPA 4 rom for the G2 and installed it, and guess what, it removed the noise cancellation!
But after the rom was buggy here and there, I decided to live with the bad sound on CM 10.2.
Now a few weeks has gone by, and I wanted to try out the updated AOSPA 4 rom, but what is diz, the sound is terrible!?
So it seems like the whoever is in charge of the AOSPA rom for the G2 has brought back the horrible sound.
Now is there a way to get the microphone profiles from one rom over to another? I have the old AOSPA 4 rom, with the working sound on my computer, and I want to take the microphone profile, and save it, so that i can manually add it to any other rom i download in the future, because I know that roms like CM probably wont update the mic profile for one specific phone.
Hey there, I just got myself LG G2 D802 and I find the noise cancellation in videos to be extremely annoying. Do you guys know if there is a fix to it yet? Something to disable it would be awesome.

Might be a HW fault or y'all are being too sensitive videos recorded with my D802 have great sound.

In the first second you can hear 'normal' sound, then it goes down. You can hear my voice very well, so the quality of it is fine, but then you can't hear very well the scratching sounds (it cuts in and out).

Could it be really a hardware issue? Should I return the phone?

[Q] Microphone Issues Like Nexus 5/Not working

Issue: LG G2 Microphone sounding muffled and like I'm meters away from it just like the recent issues on the Nexus 5.
Solutions: Speaker phone, headset w/mic and Bluetooth headset.
Tried but unsuccessful solutions: Change build.prop string for noise cancellation microphone to false. Gone to 4.2.2, 4.4.1, 4.4.2. Take Q-Tip and cleaned 3.5mm jack to see if dust or anything else was stuck. Left off for extended periods of time. Let sit in rice just in case of any moisture or condensation shorting mic.
Summary: Mic is muffled and have tried software solutions. I think it has to do with the noise cancellation mic having some kind of short or error. Speaker phone works like a charm but I don't want everyone hearing my conversations. I'm continually trying for a solution. Right now I'm going to be returning to full stock and seeing if that can help at all. I'd rather have a working phone than root honestly.... I've searched for days for solutions here and in the Nexus 5 forum because I understand that the LG G2 and Nexus 5 are a lot alike.
TLDR: Mic won't work and is muffled. Tried a lot of software fixes for G2 and Nexus 5. Any ideas guys?
Edit: Returned to stock updated to latest, love the new network logo too. Still now fix.
Wasn't the problem on nexus because there was some plastic stuck in the way?

I didn't see that in any of the forums. I was debating on whether of not to open my phone up for a quick overlook of the hardware I could get to. I'll do some more research. Thanks for the response!

I have the same issue and it's driving me crazy. I'm on Tmobile and have the D801 variant. I notice it's random like sometimes it will work fine and the other user can hear me loud. Other times they can barely hear me and I sound really quiet or far away and muffled. I am also told that there is some slight static sound when I'm talking as well.
Similarly I found out when on speakerphone everything becomes loud and clear to them. I'd love to find out what the cause of this is. Is this hardware or software related? Is this on all G2s or just the Tmobile version? Is my phone defective?
I'm on Sprint LS980. I've tried messing with audio settings but no success. I was thinking what if there was a way to make the phone think your on speaker but use the handset speaker instead of the actual speakers. I will keep trying and see if there isn't something. This is driving me mad.

This is my build prop audio settings. I've changed handset mic string from digital to analog and I just changed voicecall mic to 1 from to 0.
EDIT: Well that didn't change anything I modified the value between 0-2 and that didn't change a darn thing. If I can't get a solution soon I'm opening this bad boy up.
EDIT: I opened up my phone and disconnected some of the basic paneling on the bottom a d looked for any sort of damage but found none. I tried blowing and removing any dust or anything in that way but still no success.
BTW this phone is just as pretty on the inside as it is the outside.

Haha nicely done. How did you go ahead and open up the phone??
Well if there is no damage, then is it safe to say that this is a software issue? Does this happen to you all the time, or occasionally like mine?
Mine is constant. I removed the sim card slot (phone off of course) by poking the hole with one of my girlfriends earrings. Trust me this gets ghettoer. Then I used my phone charger adapter and stuck it ever so slightly in the open hole just enough to where I was only touching the case and not the hardware and turned it clockwise and then took my capital one credit card and put it in the now opened slit. Then followed along the outer side of my phone. The corners are tight don't be a hero and pull it off. Go all the way around with whatever you wanna use. There is a specific tool for it but I'm impatient.
Edit: Changed String
persist.audio.spkcall_2mic=OFF
To On didn't help
Edit: Changed String
persist.audio.aanc.enable=false
To true didn't help
Any ideas? I'm pulling my hair out.

Get ES File Explorer press go to settings on the side, turn on root explorer, mount system as all rw hit okay or save. Go to /system/build.prop and open with ES note editor. In the top right press the 3 dot button and hit edit then scroll till you see the lines I listed about system audio. Some other settings are towards the end section.

Thanks for the reply man. I've done multiple recordings and have no idea what the heck is going on. I've gone to every ROM avaliable to see if there were any ones that worked but none did so I have no clue. I'm probably just gonna diagnose it as hardware.
Edit: Well good news and bad news. Bad news is I've stabbed holes in the cover to my microphone. Good news is people can hear me a little better. Progress. Heck yeah.

So you're saying it was your case/cover that might have been the problem? You tried taking it off and making calls?
Hard for me to diagnose the problem on my end because like I said it's on an off for me. So not sure if any changes I make work, until it happens again. I'm going to try recording myself next time it happens as well.

What most of the times happen to me is that the other caller hears me like if I was holding the phone far from my mouth, and other times they hear themselves like echo.
I can't reproduce the problem. It's totally random apparently. Maybe RAM memory related?

Maybe but not likely.
I doubt its software for me at first that seemed like the problem but I've COMPLETELY gone back to stock several times and there is still the issue. I'm going to take off my back tomorrow and do a thorough cleaning.
Edit
Sprint recently released their new network Spark to the LS980. And so I decided to go ahead and upgrade and up on doing so I found a custom ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2630748
[ROM][1/30] Stock Rooted LS980ZVA [ODEX]
No in order to have the latest update and still be able to use a custom recovery there's quite a tricky process you have to downgrade the aboot in order to be able to have a custom recovery. Doing this solved my microphone issue. I do not know why but I'm not complaining.
Glad to hear that solved your issue! Maybe it was a network issue all along? I think I figured out my issue to.
Embarrassed to say, but turns out it was more a user error. I realized when I had issues it was when I was lounging around. Turns out depending on what I was doing and how I was holding the phone it would kind of cover the secondary mic on the top of the phone which was causing the issue. Can't say I've had this issue on previous phones, but seems to affect this one.

I've been running OmniRom with PA full modular gapps for a while. Currently on 03/05 nightly w/Franco 203.
I use Viper4Android to adjust my headphones and speaker levels.
I have been having extremely low in call volume since 4.4 and I can't figure out why. No one seems to have an issue. I've played with adjustments in Franco's app as well as settings in Viper but it doesn't help. My music sounds great though and voice calls put on speaker are very loud and clear. It's just the handset speaker that's really low.
Previously on my Sensation, I could make edits TPA2051_CFG_XC.csv that would help. And in the Nexus 5 forums I see you can edit mixer_paths.xml to help as well but when I look at the Nexus 4's mixer_path, there isn't a line to adjust handset volume.
Is there a file I could edit to adjust my in call volume? Or any other way to fix this?
Edit: Forgot to include, I use hybrid radio 33-98 for LTE. I've tried other regular and hybrid radios as well and that hasn't helped.
I wonder how helpful this would be for you, but I faced problems with in-call earpiece volume. I had to connect my headphones, call a number, maximize the volume, remove headphones and re-test the volume without headphones. Apparently, I had noticed that it mixed settings of both the profiles - with headphones & without headphones.

Just tried it a few times. No go for me. Volumes for with and w/out headphones are at max. I tried lowering one and the other. Or raising them at different intervals. Still didn't help.
Thanks for trying though.
I actually have the same problem right now. I tired using a flash able zip. Which I have no idea where it is now but all it did was completely disable touch for me. I never tried ViperX but I'll keep snooping around and see what works for me and let you know

Did you ever resolve this?

Nope. Sorry. I don't think many people are having issues. It might be hardware related but I haven't done a full format to test anything new out.
I update to the newest nightly like once a month and I don't make very many calls so it hasn't been detrimental to me yet.
I haven't seen anyone bring it up in the Omni thread though so I'm certain either a clean start should do the trick or it's hardware related and you'll need an RMA.
Hope you find a resolution for your issue! I'll definitely post something here if I ever figure it out on my end.
Same issue here. Occasionally I've fixed it between kernel or Rom flashing, but never found out what I did to fix and when I'd flash again it would go back to bad quality again. Sometimes I have to stick a finger in one ear and press the phone hard into the other ear to hear anybody

Yeah, mine worked well again for a day. The next time I restarted, it was crap again, and I have no clue what I did differently...

Guys, I'm on an s3, but someone posted a file in the neatrom 4.3 thread that works. Not sure if it'll work for everyone but thought I'd let you know that a fix is out there (can't copy the link coz I'm on tapatalk)

I'm a bit hesitant to flash something for the S3 onto the N4. Plus, the file in that zip you're referring to isn't one that's contained on the N4 in that directory.
Thanks for noting, though. Maybe I'll backup and try it to see.

Samsung S10+: Very loud white noise/buzz noise when calling.

Hi Everyone
I couldn't find anything related to this problem in internet. It must not be very common.
When I call someone or I send voice messages, the only thing the other person can hear is a very loud buzz noise. I have tried to make calls using my mobile operator and also using whatsapp. I get the same issue in both scenarios.
The phone is quite new. It might be about 3 months old. And i have never dropped it. I think it looks like a hardware problem. But I would like to know if it could be a software bug or something. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
I've had this happen to me a few times, person onother end said they could only hear a loud buzzing/hissing sound. Could be a software glitch with the mic?

I don't discard that. But in any case I would like to find out what is causing it because I am pretty much unable to make calls. . As far as I remember, the last phone update was a few weeks ago. So I don't think that a bug with the mic was introduced then. Other people would have complained about it.
After work I will try to do a factory reset, but I prefer to avoid it if I can.
Same problem here
