Hello All,
I am running Dutty's Dual Touch v1.1 Rom with radio 1.27.12.17 on my ATT Tilt. The device is brand new, 6 days old now. Whenever I make a phone call, I can hear the other person perfectly. However I have consistently heard complaints from the person on the other end of the line. They complain that they can't hear me, saying I sound muffled or far away. In some cases they can't hear me at all, and I would have to call the other person back. Sometimes they can hear me perfectly, and sometimes they cant. I'd say its 50/50, good and bad. What could be the problem?
Thanks,
thehin
I have similar problem. Sometimes people just can't hear me well, but I always can hear everyone perfectly. During the normal call it happens not very often, but the loudspeaker is almost unusable, in most cases none can here what I speak.
I have a good GSM coverage in my area, my old Nokia 6680 produced a good call quality.
I have standard ROM 1.56.405.5 (08/28/07), Radio: 1.27.12.11
I think, it is probably something in the Kaiser's hardware, because I’ve heard about similar problems from different people with totally different ROMs and radios.
Big Problem
This is a huge problem for me, it's somewhat embarrassing when people can't hear you, and you are forced to call back or call from another phone. I have full service, and have no problems with data connections. Could it be due to a constant connection????
Is your data connection active when you're on the phone? If so, try turning them off and then making calls. I think I read somewhere (or made up in my head) that the 3G connection messes with your call connection.
I expiernece the problem in both scenarios. I turned off 3G through comm manager, and it still happens. I even disabled data all together and it still happened. :-(!!!

I think it is nothing to do with the data connection, mine is mostly off, but the problem remains. Theres some cases the sound just floating, according to recipients and they just cant hear what I am saying.
If anyone DOES NOT experience the same problems, can you please be kind enough to share your ROM version, and radio version?
Thanks
Has nothing to do with ROM type. The Mic on the HTC8925 / Tilt / kaiser is located at bottom right-hand edge of the device. Although your voice sound travels through all of the bottom parts of the device, the most sensitive spot is the small hole next to the mini USB plug in. If you are holding the phone and covering the bottom part of the phone with your palm, then the person on the other side of the call will not hear you well.
To test, start HTC recorder or Resco Recorder program and while tapping on various areas of the phone surface observe the behavior of the decibel meter on the Recording program. You will then discover the most sound sensitive spot of your device.
I will give that a try. However the other night when I was talking to someone, they claimed they couldn't hear me at all, and I was coming in and out. I checked my reception, full service. No data connection, no bluetooth, no wifi, no 3G, no GPS, no apps running. I then held the phone out and talked directly into the mic, he still could not hear me. I held the phone a little farther away, still no go. One person said I sounded like i was whispering off a mountain peak.
ARGGHH :-( I love this phone, but this is pretty annoying.

You mentioned you were running Dutty's Dual Touch v1.1 Rom with radio 1.27.12.17 on my ATT Tilt. Have you tried to flashed back to the original Rom to see if you still have the same problem?

LOL thats exactly how the Titan sounds through bluetooth, only it so happens to sound that way. on our side of the call.
Finally!
I'm so glad to find other people suffering the same problem.
I'm battling with Handtec & HTC to try and resolve this issue, it's driving me *and callers* mad.
I've been waiting 3 months for this to be resolved and Handtec have finally agreed to replace it... but if this is a common problem, a replacement isn't likely to resolve it. £440 is a lot of money for something you can only use 50% of the time.
I also has the same problem. People sometimes just told me that they hear nothing frommy side suddently for a few seconds.
The only way to "contain" it is using Bluetooth, this way so far I never found problem any more.
ROM: 1.56.708.3
Radio: 1.27.12.11
Well my At&t Tilt is stock, i mean i havent change any radio roms or what ever, and I have the same problem, sometimes people complaint they cant hearme, I know its very anoying, but on my case its not like a 50/50, its more 75/25 (25 they cant hear) this happend on the 2 o 3 first days I had the phone, After that or the people I call can hear me, or the problem persist and they dont tell me.
I see the microphone its on the bottom of the phone, I think its because of that, when people complain I simply put it on speaker and talk directly to the microphone (but I dont know if this works ) hehe
Good morning and Happy New Year
I have had the same problem but after upgrading to Dutty's Dual Touch v2 Rom and radio 1.27.12.32 the sound is excellent, tested it yesterday and both on speaker and off speaker is very clear. My advice if you do not want to move to Dutty's v2 then at least flash the Radio to .32
Good luck
I don't have the problem. I'm using a TyTN II version with stock ROM. Got it when it came out so a few months ago.
I have the same problem, and mine is stock standard. Also tried it with and woth out 3G, blue tooth ect ect ect ect same problem.
Any Advice Anyone.
On another site, the issue was discussed and some one suggested the issue was caused by a .dll file conflict that routs or attempts to rout calls to HTC recorder program. It was also suggested to remove any recording software from the device or disable its call recording in the settings and see what happens.
I have been trying to look for a solution for that problem, Finally I decided to let go and stop using the loudspeaker option
I am trying to research this on other related forums and will get back to you if I am lucky.....
I got the same problem, but the person on the other end of the line can't hear me, with or without the loudspeaker option!!
Has anybody found a fix for this?
When I do/receive calls I need to put phone in loud speaker mode to listen.
The other side of the call can hear me and also hears himself (not a real eco its like the speaker and mic are connected).
Tryed to flash Nova 8 Rom, CM7 Nightly v11 and v20... and also stock rom...
Everything defaulted...
Everything reseted...
Happened after using CSipSimple app (Voip Calls) and after i tried to change Sound Routing (or something similar...)
Any tips?
I'm tired of looking on the web (over 5h today...)
Thank you
Update:
There is no eco now (dunno what I did to fix it...).
Also tested with handset (cable phones) and it works fine...
Could it be hardware?
I hope it is software and it has a fix...
Help
The audio are the main problem for CM, and haven't any solution yet, or perhaps you can try my build (look at my signature). If your problem still persist, I can't handle that, since our CM P970 is still working in progress, the source is not completed yet, as we can say perhaps it still 50%.

You also already 'downgrade' to Stock ROM and still having the problem. It might be the hardware. But, referring your CSipSimple app, perhaps that's the problem. What if you're not using it, is it normal?
-CMIIW-
Thank you for your reply
I went back to Stock Rom (Vodafone Portugal V10a), everything fully reset (even unrooted, at least I do not have root access), no programs installed (other than the OEM ones) and the problem is still here...
I'm thinking on giving it back to Waranty, do you think it is still viable?
I flashed stock rom using LG Support Recovery Tool (100% oficial as you know).
Thank you again!
Hey there,
I know it has been discussed partly, but with I think different aspects and details than I have. To cut it short: in about 50% of my phone calls, be it with good or bad reception, people cannot hear me speak on the phone.
The fun thing is, this cannot be connected to the internal microphone since I have it both on the normal mic as well as my bluetooth headset. No matter whether I call them or they call me. Sometimes (!) it helps to mute and re-enable the microphone on-screen, but this is not always effective. I thought this may be related to a bad combination of firmware and radio, but I recently switched to InsertCoin GE und updated both FW and radio, to no avail as regards to that matter. Furthermore, sometimes phonecalls just drop in the middle of a conversation, with no change in signal quality as far as I recognize.
Does this sound like some software thingy (and one might have a solution) or would you believe this is hardware related?
All the best in advance

Hey there,
of course, I picked InsertCoin GoogleEdition with the corresponding 3.06.1700.10 firmware that's offered as a complementary download for the ROM. No hands on the kernel, left the one coming with the ROM. Does that help ?

can you do a nandroid backup and try with another ROM? You could also ask in the thread of the ROM if someone got a similar problem.
I would also downgrade the firmware to the latest for HTC One (non GE). this should not be the problem but just to be sure

Yeah, I think I can. But I came from a 4.2.2 ROM with the latest radio, TrickDroid 8.0 and I had the very same problems. Does it more sound like a hardware than a software issue?

if it happens with other ROMs too it is most propably a hardware issue
I don't know if it is the app or another problem but when I make voice calls, people on the other end of the phone can here their own voice just after speaking. So when I talk back/reply they hear their own voice along with what I am saying. It has become almost impossible to talk to anyone because people just hear their own voice on top of what I am saying.
I clean installed the official stock firmware and the problem still exists.
Can you please suggest me how I can solve this problem? :crying:
@pleomaxell
To be frank , I've searched for the explanation of the settings all over the web, but couldnt find any.
Moreover, I got no such problems. All my audios and calls seem to be louder then before. I pretty much use the 'quality settings', and sometimes use the 'custom' one.
Coming to your query, have you tried uninstalling then making a call.?
Just to see if no such issue arises

Never.ever encountered this issue in my whole life.
Sorry buddy
If all fails, maybe you could try a factory reset. Provided you backed everything up using the titanium backup app
During calls other people hears my voice very low (i have to speak directly in the mic hole to make it clear), I exclude that it is a problem because of the microphone bulk, with the voice recorder it is perfect also speaking softly (it always use the microphone below). I exclude that it is problem of noise cancellation (s5 mini does not have this option) and in any case I tried to tap the microphone over near infrared and nothing changes. I exclude that it is a problem with the SIM card as if I use the speakerphone or headphones works perfect. G800F with stock kitkat. (no root, likes to keep warranty)
The phone is very new, already tried factory reset.
Any advice? Sorry for my bad english. thanks.

hello, thanks for the reply, I have not solved the problem yet. I tried some dialers on google play, but once you select the number to call, it shows the original phone dialer, so the problem remains, is there any way to change even that last dialer, perhaps without root? thank you

I understand ... actually i got the phone just a couple of days ago so i didn't make many calls. So i am not 100% sure that i have this problem too.
I know however that on water-proof phones the mics are somehow "protected" so they have worst audio mic performances that non-waterproof smartphone. I have also read online that some s5mini users solved their mic/audio problems by unistalling/freezing/disabling tha google "talk back" application. Maybe you can give it a try and see if it works.

That's for sure, my friend
For now i browsed the internet a bit and i found out 2 types of problems with the samsung galaxy s5's and s5 min's microphones. The first one is the low audio volume (the one you have) and the other one is the echo problem, i.e. the people you are calling do hear the echo of their own voices.
For now i just noticed that i have a kind of problem when using the phone call recording app i always used without problems ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nll.acr&hl=it ). When i play the audio file of a phone call, my side of the call is difficult to hear. I know for sure this happens when i hear the recorder audio file. But i don't know if this happens also in real time with the phone call. Could you please give the ACR app a try? And see how is the recorded phone call? Can you hear your voice in the recorder audio file?

Ok, i got it. I am new to android 4.4 (my previous smartphone had just 4.0) so i didn't know you caould also deactivate it. I used to freeze app with Titanium Backup on my old smartphone. I guess that deactivating it lead to the same result as freezing it with TB or unistalling it with TB.
Since you just deactivated it i can suppose you are also running full stcok android 4.4 unrooted?

So you are getting the same result as me. Did you try recording a phone call with the backcover of the phone removed? If so, how is your voice in the recorderd audio file? Does it get any better?
Hello,
I have a mini s5, I noticed that whoever calls me hear an annoying echo of his voice, I did already several SIM change evidence, the only way to eliminate echo is remove the back cover.
Should I apply for assistance, or is there a way to disable the upper microphone near the speaker?

I did this try myself and ... the result was no better. My voice is always very low ....
I also did another try with the earphone plugged into the 3,5 jack and ... the result was great! In the recorder audio file of the phone call i can totally hear my voice, loud and clear!! And i did this with two phone call recording apps:
ACR: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nll.acr
AutoCallRecorder: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.romang.callrecorder&feature=order_history
I will go on and try other phone call recording app, but i don't think this will get any better. I think this is really a problem with the 2 build.in microphones. Now it's hard to say if it is an hardware issue or a software/firmware issue. I am runnung 4.4 .... if someone running full stock lollipop could please give it a try and let us know. Maybe witha new OS release the mics behaves differently ...
Relased yesterday ufficial 5.1.1 lollipop for italian G800F ! installed today and the volume of the microphone is improved, now I would say that it is acceptable...although with other phone it's still better.
I think you should try to update too mr. "Night on the web"

Ciao, italiano anche tu?
Well, i updated my s5 mini 2 days ago (cause i have a slovakia phone, and the update came out last week) and i too have noticed some improvements. I though that it was just a placebo effect, but now that i hear the same impression from another user too, i think that something has changed. Maybe samsung re-wrote the drivers for the new android version and they came out to be better? Who knows ...
I also tried to record a couple of phone calls with the previous mentioned app ACR and the volume of my voice is pretty equal to that of the people i am talking too. Before, when i was on kitkat, the volume level of my voice was really really looooow. Now i can get really good audio files.
I am not sure if the firmware upgrade also solved the "echo" issue (which is totally different from the issue i had). Can someone give it a try?

Well, in ACR i have set the same settings i had in my previous smartphone:
1) settings --> general --> the second option (which is notification; display a notification if ACR is turned on) deactivated. [but you can try to turn it on if it gets better]
2) setting --> recording --> audiosource --> MIC (usually, after installation, the default setting is automatic)
3) setting --> recording --> percorso audio --> automatic
4) setting --> recording --> formato di regsitrazione --> 3GP
When i was running kitkat i noticed that changing the setting number 2 did have some effects on the volume of the voices in the regsitration. If my settings don't solve your problem, you can try and change only that one. I remember that the "voice uplink" was a good audiosource to get better results. Give it a try.
PS. I have also de-activated the "supress noise" function in the pre-installed samsung voice recording app. This shouldn't intefere with the in-call recording but ... it might.

Changed the setting n. 2 (before was auto) , now I can hear me really loud! Thanks! However I'm still searching a way to increase mic volume gain to have a little more boost...

That is good news! :good:
I have tried to access a setting menu for mic volume gain but i had no luck.
I tried several key-combination (from the dialer) but some were uneffective on this specific device and others didn't led to mic volume gain.
Actually i am starting to think that, without root, it is not possible to access such feature.
By the way, while i was on kitkat, i noticed that with another voice recording app, i was getting better results. It is this app:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1441643
Since i was getting better results on kitakat, maybe you can get also better results on lollipop. You can try the two trial apks posted in the first post of the thread. With this app, i used audio "source-->audio uplink" and i was getting better results than with ACR.
