I don't know what happened. All of a sudden callers can't hear me while I can hear them. I did some research and it looks like the lower mic is out. When I try to record my own voice I can barely hear it. Speaker phone worked with callers for a while, but now all of a sudden they can't hear me on speaker phone either.
I'm thinking it might have been water damage or my cat did knock my phone off my bedside table twice, but I don't really know the cause for sure.
I can't afford to buy another phone right now. I really need to find a way to fix this.
Please advise. All suggestions welcome!
Are you under warranty?

Afraid not.
I hope someone can chime in with info on how to help... you may want to JUST FOR KICKS try flashing a different ROM and pray it is a software error...although I doubt it.
Guess a solution...absent having to do hardware repair... is use a Bluetooth or wired headset
Does anyone know if the mic is hardwired into the mobo or if it is an aux attachment?

Please add info about your phone, ROM, rooted? better would be screen shot your about phone page and attach it. here is what I did to my Note N-7000 when it had such problem.
When I found out this problem my phone had ICS 4.0.4 fully rooted with safe kernel. First thing I did, backed up all my apps (Titanium Backup root), contacts (Super backup App.) etc. Then did a Factory reset from settings. Tested my phone by talking to my wife in other room, was working fine. Then I looked into apps I had installed and removed I did not really wanted. And it worked.
So I would suggest you to do same before thinking of flashing any other ROM if you are happy with the one you got.

Thanks for responding!
I was on a custom JB rom (RocketRom) ... wiped everything and switched to one of the newer ICS leaks ... (AllianceRom) Didn't make any difference, unfortunately.
I'm thinking it has to be hardware, and I'm going to have to open this sucker up and see what I can see.
Newer ICS leaks?
ICS has final released version... you installed alliance ICS? Or the JB leak?
Jb =4.1
ICS = 4.0

im betting its your dock cable...... it houses the mic also.. not a wallet breaker if its installed by a quality shop either... or brave it and diy... either way im banking it fixes your problem...

Ah yes, of course you are correct. I mixed the two up in my post. Was on ICS, now on JB.
Strange thing ... A short while after switching to JB, I noticed the the voice recorder function is working again. It was not before, but now I can actually hear recordings I make. Also Speaker Phone is working again, so callers can hear me as long as I use that option.
Youtube, yes, that is my next option.
You may want to try a gingerbread ROM for kicks

Hi All,
I have Samsung Note for a few months an I'm having real problem with the low speaker volume, I tested various solutions but nothing helped.
I want to check if this model has a manufacturing hardware problem. What I'm asking you is to make a small test,
about a minute, on a problem I lately noticed in my phone that the "right speaker" isn't working.
I listened to "happiness is a warm gun", this song is comprised of 4 parts and in the last part I couldn't hear
John Lennon singing but I could hear the other group members making background sounds.
Then it occurred to me that the song was recorded in two channels, John Lennon in one and the others in the second.
I then checked my speaker with the "Stereo Audio Test (Left, Right)" I found on YouTube.
It proved to me that I could here only the left speaker, the right one didn't make any sound.
Since I read so many Samsung Note owners complain about the weak speaker volume, I request you to
check if this happens also on your phone. I want to check if this only happens on my phone or if it's a global
issue and perhaps that is the reason for the low volume problem.
I cannot post outside links yet because I'm a new user, so I ask you to search for the
"Stereo Audio Test (Left, Right)" on YouTube and try your phones.
Please state your model and OS, mine is GT-N7000 and the OS is Android 4.0. I think it is a European version.
Two notes:
1. I tested those audios on Samsung S and they sound fine.
2. My phone is still under warranty, I will eventually give it for repair but I first want to know
if this problem happen to others as well.
thx

hi, I just came back from the store, I gave it for service so I haven't checked the headphones.
The guy at the store first tried to convince me that this is normal and this phone doesn't have
left and right speakers, only single one. I had to show him this audio test on another Samsung device
in order for him to accept it as fault. It's good I had some of you guys to do this test for me so I could be sure
when I was talking to him.
ya.. we seem to know more than them
hi,
I found out what the problems was, it is related to power saving mode.
When the battery goes beyond 30% than only a single speaker is heard.
Samsung confirmed it and said they should fix it in a future version.
If you are below 30% (or whatever value in your settings) but charging
than you will hear both speakers.
Just to let you know guys.
Since the last month or so I have had a problem with the headset on my O2x. It is NOT an issue with the headset, it works on other devices and also other headsets have the same issue on my phone.
The thing is that the right channel is very, very, very low. Left channel sounds great. I've been running Temasek CM7 with symbi0sis all the time and never ever installed any kind of mod that would mess with sound. I have reflashed rom and kernel several times. I have not gone back to stock because it's such a process, but I will probably do that today or tomorrow.
I have been googling for days now but now I feel I have to start this thread here because I don't see a way of fixing this issue.
Sooo, my question is: does anyone out there have an idea of what I can do?! Please post if you do. I'm desperate at this point.

Get a piece of cloth, wrap it around a small pin and clean out the headphone port with that. Try using a compressed air can before you stick a cloth into your headphone port.
Hi everybody,
I'm new to the community and this is my first post.
I'm having some issue with viber on my xperia T, the thing is that when I call, people can't hear me,
I hear them well, and the quality of the call is very good.
I can't find the problem...
So if you have some solutions...
My phone is on Jelly Bean stock version.
Same exact problem...
Anybody have a solution?
this is quite annoying

I'm having the same problem with Xperia V,
I just got the phone on sunday with ICS and saw the update coming, updated the phone.
I set it up and installed viber on my phone, People on the other side can't hear me at all.I can hear'em perfectly yet they can't hear me at all.
For the first time I thought it was only me who has the problem, I even googled it and couldn't find any solution.
Too bad and I felt like going back to ICS and see the problem still occurs cause I didn't get a chance to test it on ICS.
Hope they'll find the problem and a solution for this. or something on coming update.
I too tought that I was the only one.
I checked viber website, and the Xperia T is not listed in the compatible devices... even though it's android device!
Oh then, Xperia V might not be listed too. well they'll fix it in later updates. so yea we gotta wait, till then we'll have to chat.
I saw in some post that a person from viber was answering questions, So maybe we can contact him but how? Just to check if they plan to make it compatible or to tell us a tips to get it to work...

Hi,
Just wanted to know if anyone else besides me are having problems with CM10 cm-10-20130310 build?
- The speaker volume is low, call volume is low
- bluetooth skips, disconnects and connects randomly
- SD card mounting -(known issue)
When I play music or other audio the volume is fine.
thanks!
I get the skipping... I found if you turn the processor minimum speed to 384 it happens less frequent (on slacker radio anyway)
The random disconnects only happen when I try to switch song manually.. and not all the time...
For call volume... I just turn the radio way up. (21 for music... 40 for calls)

I think he's talking about connecting it to a radio through aux or something...and raising the volume on the radio...
But these audio issues are well-known...so you're not alone
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using Tapatalk 2
Ah ok, yea I guess It so.
I didn't know the audio was much of an issue, because it wasn't listed in the list of bugs..
or perhaps I didn't have a deep look in the latest release.
I switched from the Holics ROM and now I don't feel like going back to the Holics ROM.....
Can't afford to carry a big radio around.. ha ha :silly: Guess I will have to wait for more updates and fixes..

Yeah the rom has some bugs I'd recommend switching to another till the problems get fixed. If you dont hollics, try broked rom or pacman thou with broked rom in call volume is a little low.Have you tried fixing permissions in recovery to see if something changes?Sometimes it weirdly fixes those things.

Can you please explain, thanks!
Horlics was the rom I was using prior to the CM10 update, the most stable rom by far.
I just like the 4.1 GUI much more.
I am going to try the paranoid now and see how it works .. :/

If you run recovery and go to the development section or advance section, depending on the recovery you have, theres an option for fixing permissions and that should fix force closes and other issues.

Do not use CWM to flash that rom or you'll get bootloops and try it its a very good rom.

From all the jb roms I've tried, that rom is the most stable and has few bug compared to the other jb roms. Bluetooth skipping no, at least that I've noticed but audio only in call vol that is relatively low but not unbearable.
All of the jb Roma have no bugs at all other than incall audio and maybe Bluetooth. The user causes the problem, not the rom

I just picked up my pair today, and I'm already having a minor issue. Everything works perfectly, but I can't hear/be heard when I make a phone call.
I'm hoping that this is a problem with my phone, and not my glass, but when I try to call a friend they can't hear me and I'm unable to hear them. I'm using a rooted SGS2 that's got CM10.1 running.
Anyone run into this, and if so how did you fix it?
