People lately tell me, that my voice sounds distorted/echo/metallic when talking on Whatsapp or via the regular call app. That behavior ceases, when I press hands free button for a second for external speaker and press again, to use regular phone speaker.
So it seems, it's a software problem not hardware.
I checked in Dorimanx Kernel, there was a mic gain of 30 enabled. I switched that to 1. Also used Faux instead of Dorimanx Sound controls. Applied, rebooted, but no change.
Does anybody know, what else is could be? Or with what settings I could fiddle? Thanks guys!
Do you have the problem with stock kernel and/or rom?
I use this rom/kernel combination for ages... Didn't flash anything in over a year or so... But the sound distortion only seem to have started recently...

Hi,
I have unusual problem with my motorola defy earpiece (or at least i think it's that). Bought it used, so don't know how it was before...
During calls the volume of earpiece speaker is very low, practically unusable unless you are using phone in completely silent environment. The weird thing is tho, when i turn the phone around and listen closely on the back side the volume is actually a bit higher - seems like in call sound is coming from big phone speaker on the back, just very silenty... When turned to loudspeaker mode during call - everything works as intended, i can hear loud voice on phone's back speaker. I know that people are having problems with defy's earpiece not working at all, but it's not like that for me. It actually seems that both speakers (earpiece and main speaker) are working during calls just on very low volume. No luck searching for help on internet, doesn't seem that anyone had this happen... Problem egsisted with stock ROM, so i installed CM 7.2 - nothing changed. Volume buttons work, but even max volume is just too low. Wonder if that could be software problem or the hardware is somehow ruined? Any ideas? Don't know where to turn - i'm intending to take phone apart and see what's going on in there, no previous experience so please stop me
I just got my defy today and have exactly the same problem. I flashed cm 7.2
Hello,
I'm having a very weird problem. Anytime I stop playing music or hang up the phone while using my headphone, there's a weird ticking noise that last about 2 seconds. It's the most annoying thing, and I cannot get it to stop. In fact, this also occurs if you play music with the volume set to the lowest setting. You can still hear the clicking noise. It is completed independent of the volume because I can drown out the sound by turning up the volume, but if I turn the volume down all the way, I can still hear it.
Does anyone else have this problem?
I'm using the crDroid which is CM10.2 based and this has happened on all builds (I've used 16,17,18,19 and 20). I'm using the franco Plus #184 kernel (and I've used the #183 kernel) and the issue has always been there. Thanks!
NOTE: this does not happen when I use my HTC headset that has a microphone.
-----------------------------------------------
Edit: I found out the issue was related to the kernel. I'm not exactly sure what happened but I switched to the default crDroid kernel and it's now fixed.
Hi,
I purchased a used D802 International. The earpiece volume during phone calls is very low, even when I turn the volume to its maximum level. In a noisey environment, I have to keep the phone very close to my ear. I have seen volume mods but they seem to be for the internal speaker and headphones. In my case, the volume from the built-in earpiece is very low.
I flashed the volume mod via TWRP and the volume level is still very low.
Anyone have a possible solution? Is it possible the internal earpiece needs to be replaced?
Any information would be appreciated.
Thanks.
@audit13 if the problem occurs on both stock roms with everything clean wiped then I think that the earpiece might have to be replaced BUT
BUT.
The earspeaker is hidden above the screen behind those small holes. I suggest to try to clean those small holes as they might be filled with dirt which causes the soundwaves to not go through.

Thanks for the suggestion. I just finished cleaning the grill and the earspeaker volume is still low.
Do you think it will be different with a custom ROM?

if you're on stock based rom - you can try dorimanx' custom kernel... you have it for both KK (latest v10.8) and LP (v4.5 latest)
with the kernel - there comes a dorimanx settings app which has an option to increase the earpiece, headphones and speaker volumes...
before trying the kernel - just make sure you backup everything through TWRP - better safe than sorry...
I installed the latest Dorimanx LP kernel and the volume is better. I had to set the gain to 6 but it wounds fine without distorting. Thank you.

i'm glad you solved it :good:
I decided to flash a custom LP ROM just to see how it runs on my D802 and the earpiece volume will go a lot louder than it did on thee stock LG KK and LP ROM. I flashed the latest Cloudy and the max volume dropped again. This leads me to believe that the volume has something to do with the LG software.

if you're on cloudy rom, you must try "true stereo mod"... (you can find it in lg g2 forums)
it makes the earpiece play right channel and normal speaker plays left channel (or vice versa)
very good when watching a video, especially in landscape mode... sound is much better... (and you can tune the volumes in dorimanx settings app so both " speakers" play at equal levels - since the regular speaker is much louder than earpiece)
@60nine, thanks for the suggestion. I just loaded cloudy and played with it a bit. I'll try your suggestion when I get a chance, although I am the type of person that just uses their phone for text, surfing, email, and calls.
I put it away for now while I wait for my glass screen protector and TPU case from ebay. Shipping from China to Canada takes about 3 to 4 weeks!
The phone was used and had some scratches on the screen in one spot. The scratches are not noticeable unless you view it from an oblique angle or the image has a pure white background. I can't really complain given how little I paid for it
So the problem is that no matter what custom ROM I use the mic volume is incredibly low. Talking on the phone I cannot be heard at all, if I put it on loudspeaker I can be heard faintly. Same problem for any app that uses the microphone, like sound recorder, recording a video, it barely picks up any sound.
But what's strange is that everything works perfectly on on Stock. I've installed custom ROMs on this before and last used cm10 before I upgraded way back. But now the problem also exists on that CM10 ROM. Any ideas how to fix it?
Additionally I've tried disabling the google now search listening (which fixed the same problem on my OPO) but does not work here. I've tried the following ROMs: CM10, CM11, CM12 all official nightlies and Crdroid 5.1.1.
Very frustrating as otherwise CM12 works perfectly and I intend to give this phone to someone!
So testing it further I found out that it works fine using google now and search. So either the internal microphone is disabled or maybe noise cancelling is messed up.
Hey guys,
Recently my in call volume has been insanely low. Like I can barely make out what I'm hearing low. But when I put the call on speaker it works fine, and regular audio works fine so I assume it's not a speaker issue. Anybody know how to solve this issue?

I have no case and it's definitely not my finger. I think it's a software bug of some sort. People can hear me fine, I just can't hear them.
Root, flash elementalx kernel, install ex manager, go to sound, and bingo!!
