[Q] phone audio quality (on my end) [SOLVED] - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey.
I'm having a bit of trouble with the audio quality on my end, when I use the phone.
The problem is, that it feels like the "Difference" or "loudness" in voice/audio level is amplified - meaning that when people speak softly, the voice almost cuts out, and when they speak normally, I have to move the phone away from my ear, because it's a bit too loud.
I'm using the android revolution HD 11.0 rom.
Anyone else have this problem?
Regards
Anders

Same Problem My One is still stock with all OTA updates.
I've written to the support. Curious what they will answer.
Have you tried a cold-start already?

No similar problem here. My HTC One is stock and unrooted.

Actually I seem to have solved it.
When I installed the Android Revolution HD version 11, I followed the guide posted. It suggested to update the firmware, but also stated that it wasn't necessary at this time, so I hadn't done that.
I went back, and updated the firmware, but in that proces, I noted that they had updated their rom to version 12, so I also installed that.
After this, the phone audio quality was better, though I can't say whether it was updating the firmware, or the rom. I presume it was the firmware though.

[Q] Need Help! Call sound is broken!

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?

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!

[Q] Severe phone calls problem

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

Hi can you tell us what exact combination of Firmware ROM Kernel etc you are using currently?

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

[Q] New/Other Radio Xperia V

I'm having lots of problems while calling, I can hear the person on the other side of the line perfectly while they can't hear anything I say (I sound very far away from the phone). This makes it impossible to have a normal conversation with anyone.
I understood flashing a new Radio could solve this problem, now my question is:
Where do I find these radio's and which one should I flash (Xperia V 4.3, The Netherlands)?
Andddddddddd Bash.
It might be a problem of mic. I had this problem before and the service center had replaced the mic. They said it was water damaged.

Can't be the problem, recording of sound is fine (Whatsapp record, video etc.)

Then it's software-related and not a hardware/radio issue.
Did this problem come with 4.3 or did it exist on 4.1, too? What about other ROMs like CM - are you able to test?
Exactly what I thought, but I just moved from 4.3 stock, to 4.3 Lovins. And I can't recall if it happened on 4.4 CM..
That's why I was kinda hoping I could just flash another radio/baseband or something.

are u saying you dont remeber if the radio was working on CM 4.4 e.g.!?
Honestly, if you sound really far away it cant be a problem connected to baseband/radiofirmware. Its either because you are standing quite far away from the person you are trying to test-call (joke) or due to the phone app.
Make a NANdroid and try it with another firmware....
No that's not what I said I meant, I can't recall if the issue was happening.

No notification sound through bluetooth??

Hi,
My phone is the D5803 z3c and after staying up late trying to understand rooting the phone I think I got it all together. However, I downloaded a bunch of images so honestly I don't even know what rom i'm running. It's a basic pre-rooted/debloated rom from the 1st page of the development section.
Anyway, I use a bluetooth headset at work. I am a limo driver and my rides are dispatched via text. My bluetooth headset works fine, except it will not play the notification sound for texts, only the ringtone when a phone call comes in. The media/phone box is checked. I can play youtube videos and sound comes through, but for some reason the notify doesn't work.
This is important to me, sometimes I leave my phone on the seat and can't hear it due to the music or whatever, but with my Nexus 5 I just came from, it worked right out of the box .
I've tried searching, and didn't come up with much. I also tried playing around with some apps, and I think for a little bit I used an app that seemed to do the trick, but now it doesn't work anymore.
ANY IDEAS???
Note: I have 2 bluetooth headsets, same thing on both. On my Nexus 5 both worked fine.

Okay, I just thought I had this problem... here the same, after the latest update to 5.1.1.
I'm try with 2 bluetooth headsets (Plantronics - Jabra) and a full factory reset but no notifications for text messages (sms, chat, whatsapp ect ect ect)
Italian Sony Xperia Z3C (Vodafone) Android 5.1.1 - 23.4.A.1.200
I found a thread on another forum of someone complaining about the same thing. He had a xperia z1. Supposedly Sony support emailed him and said xperias do not support this feature?? This doesn't seem like a complicated feature.
I should note my rom that I loaded is 5.1.1. qmaxmobile, did you have 4.4.4 on your phone and it worked? I'm willing to downgrade to 4.4.4 to get this feature to work, although I am happy with my 5.1.1 setup now.
I'm willing to pay a bounty if someone can create a mod so I can have this feature!

I'm confused. You have 5.0.2 and the notifications work? I have the latest Android 5.1.1 loaded and it doesn't work. I'm pretty sure I had 5.1.1 on my Nexus 5 and it worked fine.

Well I decided to flash a 4.4.4 ROM because the battery life is supposedly better (althought my 5.1.1 had great battery life, almost 7 hr SOT). However same thing, no notification through bluetooth.
qmaxmobile, what rom were you running on 5.0.2 to have notifications play through through bluetooth? I only found one 5.0.2 rom and I couldn't get it to boot, and seems like others in the thread had the same problem.
I really need bluetooth notifications. Seems like a simple app would do the trick, but haven't found much except a thread on a forum saying Xperia phones don't support it.
So I posted on the Sony Xperia forum, and a sony rep confirmed that Sony firmware does not support this feature (why????). I tried high and low to find an app in the play store to get it to work, but no dice.
Supposedly the rep also said that if you get a Sony bluetooth headset you can get the sony app to control that feature. I'm not so sure....
If anyone can confirm a sony bluetooth headset will in fact work with stock xperia firmware, please post!
The only option I was able to think of was to unlock the bootloader and flash a custom rom. I just did that and it worked. My DRM keys are backed up in case I decide to relock. So now I'm running Ressurrection Remix rom. It's a shame, as I didn't mind the Sony interface.
Well, I did unlock the bootloader and loaded a custom version of android. It worked. But I went back to the Sony firmware because battery life was better.
I picked up a Sony bluetooth MBH20 headset, and you guessed it, still doesn't work.
There HAS to be a way! $25 if you create a simple app that makes this work for me!

Well, I don't know about you, but notifications go out when using Bluetooth for me on the latest Sony stock room.
You may try the apps SoundAbout, or Mono Bluetooth Router, though.
That's so weird. No idea how it works for you. I found a few threads on other forums complaining about the same thing. I even posted on the Sony forum and support said I need a Sony app and a Sony headset because this "feature" isn't supported.
I did monkey with SoundAbout, no luck. There are so many options, and I didn't see a specific one for this feature.

Bluetooth media - unknown on Sync

Not sure if this is a nougat issue or a Franco kernel issue, but when using Ford MySync or whatever it's called I show unknown artist unknown song as my display on my car audio screen. This same configuration was working fine on MM with France r10 but once I moved to Nougat it's been unable to give me artist and song info.
I've cleared cache, reinstalled apps, removed and added my car back as an audio source all with no luck in resolving. I have also looked through the Franco thread so I don't think it's related to his stuff. I am also updated to the latest kernel he released, no fix there. Not really anything else special on my device except magisk for root.
Is anyone else having this issue? It's kind of driving me crazy. I almost want to revert to factory and see if that changes anything but don't want to re-root etc.
I have searched this forum and others for a fix but everyone says it's app specific, which mine is not. It won't work in sound cloud, play music, YouTube, or any other media apps it was known working in before the update.
I have the same issue in my Mustang...

Are you rooted or using any non stock kernel? If rooted, what method? If kernel which? Thank a for the reply. Its nice to know it's not just me.
Rooted yes. I've tried stock kernel and Franco.

Took out my wife's 2015 explorer today and it has the same problems. I wonder if 4.10 will fix it? I'm holding off for a while before taking it...
I had the same problems with my car ( VW Passat 2014). I have the Sony Xperia ZX and HTC 10 and no problems with Bluetooth. I am using original rom and Nougat. It seems the is only Oneplus phones.
I've tried 4.10 and also now Lineage and it doesn't fix it on any of them. I'm guessing its firmware related then.
I'm having trouble connecting media on my kia!! Can receive calls but no media! Wtf tried to enable it and didn't work

I believe someone said it's OOS 4.0.3+ so 4.0.2 was fine. I can confirm because I experienced this after updating to 4.0.3.
This bug is actually a pretty big peeve of mine. I'm considering going back to 4.0.2 because of it
7.0 update fixed this for me but when I tired the 7.1.1 update it broke it again and also added a noticialbe lag when using the controls on in my car. I have since reverted back to using the 7.0 software.

It does not work on mine, unfortunately. It DID work for a day or two though.
I'm running daily Lineage OS using default kernel (usually Fusion kernel, however not right now since it's not updated for latest source) and working beautifully with my Volvo Sensus Connect, both bluetooth internet connection for car and Bluetooth audio with audio track text working. So probably some Ford mumbo jumbo. ?
