Hi All,
Got the Z1 last week about 9 dates ago as a replacement for a Samsung Galaxy S3. Generally liking it, though struggling to get used to the size of the handset. One major issue, though that I can't easily sort or find an answer to anywhere.
Basically, when I use a wired headset with inline mic for phone calls, the microphone is way too sensitive. It picks up every movement of the headphone cord, every rustle on my clothes, etc. Tried about 5 different headsets, including a dedicated Android one button Sennheiser headset. All the same. None of these proved a problem with
Anyone any ideas on what's causing it or how to fix it? Is there something simple I'm missing? It's making calls a painful experience.
Thanks in anticipation.

Did these problems with those mics occur on your galaxy s3?

Nope. In one case, the headphones/headset goes back as far as an IPhone 4, so about three years ago. This is the first time I've had the issue with any of them.

Check with your mic settings, after making settings then switch your phone and then switch it on. Perhaps this helps. Also check this issue by using hand free. :fingers-crossed: well, samsung 3 is better than this

Tried that. No change. S3 better than this? In this respect only. V pleased to see the back of the S3, as it constantly had firmware issues, caused, no doubt. Random battery life issues (sometimes lasting a day, sometimes a few hours), crashes, screen redraw issues, glitchy music playback. I could go on.

Woah galaxy s3 better then this? no way, i had one it was laggy in ui, because of it being ruined by touchwiz and also the fact it was an at&t variant so it had bloatware ontop of samsung bloatware lol

Oh dear. Wish I hadn't bothered posting here. Another fanboy fight. Look, whatever phone you own, hope you like it. My thanks to those posters who tried to answer my original query. Still searching for an answer.

I think with Root you can get work anything even the sensitivity of your microphone. It can be easy like edit build.prop that something more but I am sure the sensitivity can be managed. If I find something I will post.

I have had a lot of people complain to me in last 2 days (since I got the phone) that my voice to them sounds messed up, as if there's some disturbance.
I'm a religious blackberry user, and switched form 8320 (curve) to this one. The speaker quality extrememly sucks.
Is there a patch or an update or something I could use to enhance mic / speaker quality?
Thank you
I am having this same issue...and not all calls are this way. I've tried Mic boost/auto-adjust, but with no impact. I'm hoping a cure is found or I'll be ditching this phone and moving on.....I work on my cell and can't have these sorts of quality issues.

Same here!
I thought the device was bad and had it replaced, but the new one has exactly the same issue. I've been able to make some clear sounding calls, so I'm not sure if its actually a hardware/mic problem, of some kind of disturbance caused by the software processing.
Yes.. I've picked up my diamond yesterday.. and same problem here.. friends describe my voice as somewhat robotic.. not exactly what I expect from a 600 euro phone...
could be a problem with your band.
try calling through gsm only.
How do I do that ?
I'm a newbie on this area (my last phone was actually a nokia 6230...)
please anyone???
i really can't use the phone right now.. and I need it for work..
That's a lot of people with a serious problem. Does anyone not have this problem?
Should be in network settings otherwise have a look through the manual??. Im sure it would be in the manual somewhere.
very serious indeed.. can't find it in my manual.. but im not really an advanced user (yet) so that's my bad i guess..
fact is this phone shouldn't have this problem ofc
Yes, I don't have any problem.
Same problem here, people commenting that it sounds broken up, or through water sometimes.
This is a serious problem, surely testing would have found an issue like this, or am I being a it wishful that this handset was actually tested before launch!!
M.
no problem at all. very good sound quality!
i wonder what ppl are going to complain about next? judging from the posts here i must have the one, the only the greatest htc diamond produced.
i do have a few complains but not even 10% of what i am reading here
damn!at least the color you like? maybe the black is not black enough
Are you getting bad voice quality while using a headset as well or just when using the the handsets microphone?
Also maybe watch where you're fingers are placed, if I'm not mistaken the microphone is under the phone, next to the usb port... so no fingers there while talking

Dude, this isn't whining...its just not working the way it should! Plain and simple. My old QTEK and HTC's all have cristal clear sound compared to this.
Maybe its the localized ROM or something...
Just because you don't experience the same issue doesn't mean everybody else is wrong.

I'd never buy a 600 euros device knowing an issue like this....
Considering buying the G2X in 3 days although I am having serious misgivings after reading some of these threads which list the serious issues this device seems to be plagued with. I would greatly appreciate any feedback on how the device functions as a phone such as call clarity and volume through headset and speaker phone clarity and volume. Also apparent signal strength etc. Any and all help is warmly received.
I had the 2x for a month nov. And i will say that the phone have some problems.but its a great phone, and many people are working on it, so it will be a very good phone. I will recommend it to every body. Sorry the bad english.

Thanks so much for your reply. Could you tell me how the sound is such as the volume and clarity with speakerphone and head set also the GPS?
The sound is god. Also with speaker. I had a desire hd before, muts better sound on the 2x. I think the small problems with this phone, will be fixed. And we will end up with a fantastic phone, and very very fast.

Thanks again I probably will
I have the phone since last friday (Vodafone Germany tho) and it looks like I got a good one lol... I also read all those threads here weeks before getting it and actually made sure that I wouldnt have any issues getting a new one from Vodafone if I had lots of problems.. turns out I dont. Had a few forcecloses the first day (even F-Secure crashed but I never ever launched it so far) but since then not a single one. Also no reboots or major laggs or something similar as reported in that other thread.
The sound quality is actually pretty good, way better then the Nexus One, the speaker is way better.
GPS is fast enough, didnt experience any trouble at all.
But I am going to install a Custom Rom as there are a few lagg spikes when launching apps and stuff but nothing really bad. I just want to see how fast this phone can really be
Also, keep in mind that the device we'll get in the US will be different in build and software from the international version. The speaker/mic combo will most likely be similar, but things like GPS and call quality can vary drastically because they're based on software.

Good point! I use GPS a lot every day and most of the day. I have a Vibrant now and the GPS leaves a lot to be desired. Teetering back and forth as to whether to pull the trigger and get it or not. Probably will though. Been waiting for it to come out for awhile.
I had a Nokia N8 at home, it could find satelites really quick. The LG2X can't.
The speakers are really the worst hardware part of the device.. really bad sound it's the biggest negative. Overall it is a great phone , the best phone I've ever had, and enjoyed the most.. just too sad the soundquality + speakers is really bad imo.. but my contacts told me that they can here me very good.. so its just you suffering on that not the callers -_-
I can just recommend it. But with the sidenote you to check those things by yourself first live, if these attributes are really that important to you, so you don't get disappointed after.
Would like to hear your thoughts of it when u use it, i believe they could have improved G2x compared to the LG2x, cause it has other messsurements and vanilla android so i guess they reacted to the feedback which was given by the buyers.
Sorry for this long text xD
PS. Just tested GPS again.. and it found within 30 seconds within the building =) GPS is fine!
Every phones has its problem. Nothing is perfect. The o2x as a phone is good. No major issues about it. And after installing paul's MCR, it became a lot lot better.
GPS works fine for me. It just depends where am i. There are places where i can only get a fix after 30-60 seconds but most of the time i can get a fix for 5-10 secs only.
Hey guys, thx for the opinions.
At this moment I have an HTC HD2 and after having owned a numerous number of HTC's I am fedup with them. It seems they make models that always have some issue either batt wise, speaker wise etc.
As I use my phone mainly for gps is there someone who can upload a video on youtube showing the startup with gps status or something?
Also my HD2 has/had a quick lock but the receiver fails in other departments like having jitter on the output making the gps go in crazy steps or circles.
I would also love to see a video of how the screen looks in sunlight and how the speaker sounds when you are using the device as navigation in the car.

Thanks so much for your kind input. This is just the kind of feedback I need to make a prudent decision. My only phone is a cell phone so I need the phone part to be first class as well as the GPS which I use on a daily basis(also hourly). Still undecided oh well I guess I still have 2 more days to make a decision.
I had no issues reported in previous threads..
-yellow screen? Nope.
-Rattling? - Nope
- Crickling noise with earpiece? Nada
UPDATE: The crickling noise is actually there, but its so damn minimal I can't even hear it from an inch away in the most muted environment. I personally believe it isn't a hardware defect, because since it is a speaker, I would expect a small amount of static noise to slip through. Overall, I can't hear it while I'm on the phone, or when the phone is OFF, so if anything its software that's triggering it.
If you SEARCH for an issue, you will find it
But why bother to, if in the end your just going to complain?
Still pretty damn happy beyond believe with this device. Regardless of the smallest OCD issues reported in this forum.
Just a heads up for people who got confirmation emails last night, and is expecting a phone today! Looks like (well atleast to me) the problems aren't there.. Or maybe I'm just extremely lucky.
Really...glad your phone is perfect. Mine is too, but I don't think we needed a thread for this.:good: maybe go to each thread and report your findings? If everyone made a thread about their phone. It would be cray up in hurrr.

all screens have defects. Amoleds, especially the one on the Galaxy Nexus, are more likely to have defects compared to LCDs. i think you were just unlucky with this Nexus.

If I were you, I would loop a video for like half an hour and see whether it improves. I also got similar things on my Xperia S and it's actually fairly common if the LCD is new or it has not been used for a long time. I looped a video with a lot of action and moving scenes for about half an hour and now it's perfect.

Hello guys. Im feeling very frustrated now, i bought 2 phones on ebay from different sellers and both of them have problems when i play music.

I think it is a common problem and many people did have this problem. I tried to flash different fimwares etc, no luck. Please anybody help.. Regards

You can flash roms now...hashcode made a recovery bypass called "Safestrap" its in android development section under sticky....
And theres a few good roms out already im using "Bri" xnote rom...and it's awesome. Haven't had any issues and the battery is the same if not better, believe me...
Its very simple to root now I successfully done it with "kingo"..
And after you flash "Strapstrap" just make a backup and literally flash a rom that easy...most of questions have already been asked if your having questions around here...

I haven't been very active on here but I did see the safestrap beta... Not sure if I trust kingo root because I saw all the problems with it before. The biggest problem I had was Android OS was always using more battery than my screen time which is a problem and unusual. Happened every time I rooted, coming from a rooted note 2 I know this isn't normal at all. On stock it stays around 8-10% during the day.
I know exactly what your going through. .To be honest this note 3 has superior battery life from any device I owned I had all the note models as well...But rooting your note 3 and debloating it..is only gonna help battery dont go crazy and install a dozen useless apps and you'll be just fine...Also inverted apps and theme's and dark wallpapers help with battery as well in theory less pixels to be energized so less battery. Am getting great battery life. I'm on this all day and connected to wifi and only have to charge it once before bed which is great..lol

The note 3 has multiple microphones so it can cancel out back ground noise. It expects that your voice will be mainly be picked up by the lower microphone next to the USB port. If you sometimes block that microphone with something like your hand, you will mess up the noise canceling algorithms which could result in the echo. Try blocking and then unblocking that lower microphone with your hand and see if you can make the echo appear and then disappear for the caller. My guess is you will find the source of your echo.
Good luck.

Doesn't matter I try holding my phone with 2 fingers on the sides not covering anything or even just putting it down on my desk and it still echoes.... Noticed now it's not doing it on speaker phone only with the ear piece which doesn't make much sense.

Funny you say that.....For the longest time I heard alot of people say I sound muffled. And about a month ago I realized I kept holding my phone and my pinkie finger was over the mic..lol....But you are right about the mic and the back ground noise..I usually get the echo effect every now and then,mostly when I'm using WiFi...I'm wondering if it's in the phone "settings" disabling background noise will help solve this echo effect? .
What exactly do you think this option will do unchecked..in phone settings?
