thank you and clean usb port
Thank you for your help, I found out that the real problem was that the USB port was dirty, after clean it everything work fine. Probably is was waking some contact and made the phone think that a headset was plug. Thank you for your help.

Fix for low microphone volume

So, it seems I have finally found out how to adjust the microphone volume on the phone.
I have posted the instructions on my blog. If you try the solution it please respond if it works or not.

This might be veey interesting. I changed 88 to 100 but will only be able to talk to someone tomorrow.
From personal experience both sgs ans sgs2 have low treble input sent to peer. Ots annoying.
Posted from Galaxy S II

tried, we will see...

Interesting, there's an option for speaker receive volume too...

I tried it but it didn't work on audio recording (Hi-Q MP3 Recorder).
There is some way to adjust mic volume of voice recording?, My old SGS recordings were a lot louder than on my new SGSII.

Great thank you so much for the post. It helped me out.

MY SGS2 DOES NOT HAVE THIS VOLUME ISSUE! PEOPLE HEAR ME VERY WELL, SOMETIMES THEY ACTUALLY LOWER THE VOLUME IT IS SO LOUD!!!
Seriously, how much better does it get? I am not in a noise free environment at the moment, how big of a gain does this produce? Does this fix work with the genuine wired headphones?

i thought this fix was temporary only, after a phone reboot the fix resets to default ?

how often do you reboot your phone?

I must admit...in all the smartphone that i have ever used.....This is the only phone that i have never rebooted except when flashing roms/kernels etc...

I never reboot! I did today, because I wanted to calibrate the battery for the first time and I let it die. So I let it die after 24 hours of use, and then when it turned on it rebooted
I love my phone

It works but sadly as others have already mentioned, after a reboot, you have to re enter the settings, which is the only draw back, and am one of those who reboots the phone on a daily. Is there any way of making this permanent even following a reboot?. I can imagine its probably difficult, but thought I'd ask anywhere. Thanks op.

I'm actually looking for a way to lower the input gain, as my voice comes out distorted on the other side. Any clues? Besides the obvious "Turn 88 into something lower, I tried 70 and didn't work"

I don't know how the values can be saved so that they survive a restart. Personally I only restart my phone when it runs out of battery, or if I've done flashing that requries a reboot. If I need to disconnect from the real world airplane mode is used.
So, has anyone had any luck using this method? Seems to work for me.

That's quite the opposite problem Other than what you tried I have no idea. Sounds like a faulty device?

Actually, I tried 20 yesterday, and it did solve my problem!
Now sound is crisp and undistorted!
The question is,
1. How to make it stick reboot.
2. What do the rest of the volumes do? Vol0_1 0_2 0_3 etc, you suggested to edit number 5. Why specifically that one?

1. Still a mystery
2. My guess is that there are certain levels of output, and that all of them should be adjusted according to the other to have a linear line. The fact that I wrote that only 5 should be edited was simply because that worked for me.

First, great thanks hpe !!
I got my phone 2 days ago and got same problem.
ppl could not hear me well.
I tried your solution, hope it will help (tried 1-2 calls and seems ok).
I have noticed also that when you talk you should be
stable with your hand and your face , I mean,
it should be with fix distance between the mouth and phone, not important the distance but it should be stable during the call, if not the AGC comes up and down and the other side can't hear you well...
About save setting,
Maybe there is ini file or something (rooted phone) that can be changed to keep value after reboot, I have noticed in the 2 days I have the phone that I had to reboot phone after install application to get it works well.

I've follow the hpe solution but i still have volume problem
My specific problem is:
On Normal Mic call > very low volume... on my SGS2 with android 2.3.3
But with Speaker call > clear (no problem)
Very strange!! I can't be able to solve this problem.
I'd like to precise that with other voip app like bria or "csip simple" i have no problem, mic volume is perfect..

Speaker call uses different mic settings (since you've a higher distance between your mouth and the mic while using speaker), so it might just the "normal mic call" volume setting which fails.

I have understand and many thanks for your reply but it's strange that those settings works perfectly with the other voip applications..

[ROM] CM9 4.0.4 ICS HTC HD Mini Blank Screen and Volume Problem while InCall

Hi Im new here pardon me for posting this I don't know where will post a comment for [ROM] CM9 4.0.4 ICS HTC HD Mini By munjeni.
I have tried some of the version of android for HTC HD Mini and now Im using the version the CM9 4.0.4 ICS by munjeni, and these are some of my experience with this ROM.
1. Blank Screen still occurs even when Im using 2G only.
2. When Im in call and then press the screen the volume drop and i need to press the volume up or down to normalize the volume.
3. When someone call me I can hear them but they do not hear me but when I end the call and call them then it will work just fine.
4. When using the earphone in a call after you hangup/end the call the music player automatically play (is this normal in this version?)
5. When I turn on the WiFi it will drain the battery so fast and even when I turn off the WiFi it will continue to drain the battery so fast I need to reboot the phone to return to the normal battery consumption.
6. When turn on WiFi and plug the charger it will get so much heat I know it will generated extra heat and that normal but I think with this temperature it not normal because it really turn so hot.
these are some of my experience using this ROM everyday use.
Thank munjeni for this great ROM
I will attach a logcat if it I will help you.
I only hope that a single ROM can work 100% for this device.

Mic muted in call solution
Hi all, I can't write in the Android development forum yet, so I decided to write it here. The problem that somebody has about not being heard when the phone is in silence mode and you receive a call can be solved exactly at that time; When your caller doesn't hear you, look at the screen and activate the SPEAKER button, inmediatly deactivate it. The other will hear you now. Try it.
If that works for you and you can post it in the original post for me (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1625638), i'll be grateful.
Thanks ALL people worked in this rom.
Regards!

Hi,
thanks for the reply that helps e a lot. Its the only fault in this great version i could find up to now.
Is there still development activity on this version that could fix this problem one day?
Or does anybody have any idea how to fix it myself, by an app for example which runs in backround and permanently sets the mic to unmute?

[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.

Very weird sound - First time i ever hear it

Hi guys!
The sound started playing 2-3 days ago everytime i power my screen on.
The sound in question
Its not the lockscreen, i dont remember to install any new apk.
The issue is also linked with the infrared sensor not working properly. When im calling someone the screen flashes near my ear (the screen is not black)
Do you know whats causing it?
Many thanks!

I think it's s voice or talkback

Both are disabled... Is it possible is bios? Or maybe something overheating?
