Everybody is complaining about echo issues when talking to me. I don't have any issues from my side, but my interlocutors say that they can hear themselves in their own phones.
This issue is present on both PACMan 22.3 (with various kernel versions) and the older CM10. Haven't tried stock firmware yet, but I think I will.
Has anybody had this issue?
I get a lot of people complaining about the Mic sounding muffled.
I call Vodafone today about the same thing and there sending me a new micro SIM to see if this helps.
Also the phone recently seems to drop calls a lot, but seeing that my Fiance has and iPhone And she's been having the dropped call problems as well I reckon it's the network.
Would seem to me though that the Mic is faulty with the phone. Going to see what the repair centre says I think.

I just got myself a White Moto X on sprint today and am noticing some inconsistencies in speaker volume. Most of the time the speaker is way to quiet even with volume maxed. It is quiet for calls notifications and music and games. Occasionally though the volume gets to loud and acceptable levels but never very long.
I am wondering if there is a setting that adjust my volume automatically based on ambience or me moving the phone.
I use loud ringtones and the same ones as all my other phones have used and never had a problem hearing them in normal environments. It seems as if I have to be in a very quiet room to hear this phone though or hold the speaker up to my ear to hear music.
Reviews for this phone seem to say the speaker is on the loud side and is comparable to the levels of the HTC One.
I just need to know if I need to return mine.

I noticed it also. I started noticing it after the latest update (camera update etc.)

I'm guessing this has to do with the "smart speaker" feature, which I just read briefly about today. I've noticed it on my phone as well, although it hasn't been that noticeable, but regardless I wonder if there is an option to disable it or modify its behavior.
Scroll down to point 4, thats where it discusses this new speaker tech.

Thanks for the information. I couldn't seem to find this with all my looking. And I spent the last week solid looking at reviews hands on videos and anything else I could find to determine if I wanted the Moto X or the S4 or HTC One.

I've started noticing this volume auto changing itself more lately, sometimes the notification sounds are pretty loud, other times they seem to be a lot quieter. I'm guessing the Moto X is using some "smart" setting like in the link I posted, but I have no clue how to change it or where the setting is at.
Has anyone else experienced this yet, and found the setting and/or a fix to the issue? I would rather just set the volume manually myself and not have the Moto X try to adjust it for me
I think have the same issue.

I Think I have the same issue, I have my Moto X, and sometimes I dont know why, the notifications doesnt sound in my phone, I thought it was happening because an "smart" configuration or something like that, but I havent discover anything that can fix this.
Does any one?
YES! This is my problem exactly...
I called Motorola to ask if they had any kind of technology in the phone that would lower the volume based on ambient resonance, or whatever, and the representative said "no".
After that, he offered me a replacement, commenting that it was the first time he'd heard of such an issue, and telling me that it wasn't normal.
What do you all take from this? This issue is big enough to cause me to return my brand new, otherwise amazing, Moto X because I really need a reliable speaker.
Get a replacement.

I notice this also... When playing videos in YouTube for example the ad which plays before the video has loud volume but when it switches to the video the volume suddenly goes down.

Hello,
I picked up my att note 3 on Friday. I believe I have a defective loudspeaker. When at max or near max volume when talking on speaker phone the audio is distorted/resonant similar to a buzzing. I tried removing the back cover which had no affect.
Being as others have modified the android OS to increase volume with success it seems likely to be a defective phone.
Please let me know if any one else hears poor speaker phone audio quality.
I will likely try to swap my phone out for a new one at att.

Maybe yours is normal. As when I listen to folks on speakerphoneI can hardly hear them compared to my S4 and its quiet perhaps they reduced it on my build for this very reason ( cheap speaker ).
I originally thought something was wrong with my device because i kept hearing the audio drop down and raise again when listening to music. But I noticed it never did that with anything else besides the app, Spotify. I decided to try another music app and I cannot replicate the issue. I think it's the Spotify app. Maybe a compatiblity issue with 4.3, not sure. Either way sounds comes out normal except in that app.

Hello Everyone,
I exchanged my phone this past Friday. The new phone may be slightly better than my previous one but it still distorts at full volume when on speakerphone.

Ran some more tests on both my wife's and my unit. If you listen carefully on full volume you can occasionally hear it clip

Mine is pretty bad. I have a hard time hearing people on speakerphone unless it is all the way up, then it is pretty distorted.
Hey Guy,
I got my Mi3 a few days back. Since then whenever I place my phone on bed or any bumpy surface or shake it, it rattles.
So to check what exactly it is, I hold down my volume rocker and power button, so that they wont make sound & hit my finger a couple of times over the camera lens & on flash, I was shocked to hear that annoying sound.
I just want to know, If that's normal or I got a faulty Mi3?
No problem with camera, but that rattle sound is making me sick.
PS: I sometimes hear tick sound while opening and closing camera app.
Thanks
The sounds are normal, are coming from the lenses.

Um, I was just worried, as some said their Mi3 have no such sounds or rattling.
Wbu? Try bumping it on a cushion, check if that sound is coming. Or when you shake it.
Sound be like as if some part in the phone is loose. So..
I tried shaking my phone but I don't hear any noises.
Can you try turning the camera On and shake it to see if it still makes the sound? I have read about this in the S5 forums and people say it is normal and disappears when launching the camera app.

Thanks for your reply. I have tried what you had said but it's still making that tick sound. Not i am really annoyed.
Still waiting for some more replies.. :/

Though I am not sure but I just saw a Video in which a guy opened an Mi3 with each part apart.
There I see few screws around the camera compartment, it might be possible that one of that screw is loose and hitting the alloy back of the phone. When I hold the back of the phone and shake, I want hear any sound like that.
*Just wish what I thought is making that sound.*

Bro, I have figured it out, not quite sure but sort of. I think the sim ejection pulley is what making that sound.
Still I am not that sure.
Btw thanks for your reply.

Happens to me too...escpecially when the phone vibrates...
And the click for the Camera happens cause of the lenses, that's nothing to worry about...
Same problem here in my mi4i it sound and making me frustrated. From where it come :
Guys it's just the lens, it's happening to me as well and it isn't anything bad, the lens cover clicks as it opens when the camera app is started, while it's not started, the lens is closed, but not rock solid locked, so it rattles whenever it gets some stronger hit. After 2 months of usage, i'm totally used to that sound

I never had such issue. Looks like a hardware issue. Check it in the authorized service center.
I try a few fixes , disabling the google voice , change a few settings on mixer paths but the call quality and mic pickup is pretty bad. Was wondering if this is a hardware issue because a lot of posts has been up about how bad it is. I love this phone just got it but if this is the main issues that I used my phone =[. Any help or fixes I should check out because i have try many fixes.
I recently put a bug request up on their forums: https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/noise-cancelling-mic-too-aggressive.477798/#post-15452631
It seems the mic is a bit aggressive with third party apps. Easy way to tell is to use the stock camera and record a quick audio clip, it should be fine. Then, in another app (Snapchat for me) take a quick video and you'll notice a lot of popping or distortion for any audio that's not close.
is this a hardware or software issue, do you think i should return it or keep it? if its a hardware issue then its not worth it

It appears to be software, however I've read the original OP3 had a similar issue that was never really addressed--at least not officially. I'd say when we start to see some ROM's pop up those devs will have it handled, but I can't say for sure.
To be honest if this issue only gets fixed by ROM developers of custom ROMs I assume the 3t will not get my new phone
I was hoping that this issue got already fixed in 3t's Software but apparently it's not.
And OnePlus seems to not put any afford into this issue
They don't seem to put any attention! "They are aware" Is all i see. No real progress that one "LTE ZIP" will take away wifi calling. Im ordering a new phone in the coming days and might go with the zte axon 7 limited edition.

I had the OPO which was great, then the OP3 which in CM14/14.1 there was an echo issue that the other side of the phone call would hear themselves, and now the OP3T has an issue with mic pickup in both regular calls and speakerphone. It feels like the quality is getting shoddy and the price is going up.
But I really don't understand why not more people are complaining about that. I read about that issue here in XDA first (but regarding the 3 and not the 3t). Then I really watched every review of the 3 on YouTube but the only one that was speaking about that problem was a German YouTuber (He is called SwagTab) in his review. No one else seemed to be aware of that problem (or didn't want to talk about it).
And I often read "it's a software problem". But why that problem hasn't been fixed already as it affects one if the essential parts of a smartphone: the microphone?
Don't know what I should think about that laziness or being unwilling to talk or fix that mess.
@bmwbasti When I had the OP3 it was narrowed down to we needed to wait for OnePlus to release the proprietary blobs for Android 7.x, but with OP3T it feels like laziness because they're still trying to please all the pissed off OP3 users and shafting the OP3T users in the process.
I think I haven't read anything about it but could it be that this issue is really fixes in the Nougat ROM that got released a few days ago for the 3? If so I could live with this issue until it's fixes in Nougat. But I think I will get my 3t not until Nougat is released anyway
Today is a sad day guys =[ i just RMA my one plus 3t , going to order the honor 8 they had an amazing sale for like 260$ i'm just going to see if i like the honor 8 , just going to be a temporary phone.. i mean why would such a good phone lack a bad mic =[
Very disappointed! The mic is a one of the most important parts of a phone. Ordered two one plus 3T devices but cancelled as soon as I came across this thread. Don't want to gamble with this.
Tried iPhone 7plus but miss my note 7. Want to go back to android, but can't find anything to substitute my note 7. Probably will go back to note 5.
Thanks to everyone who posted about this here

Mic is just fine for me....if your implying to incall, haven't recorded anything as of yet to test that side, but as it works just fine during a call I'm not suspecting any issue's on the latter.....[emoji106]

Just called OnePlus customer care to ask about this issue, they claim that they didn't have ANY complains regarding this for this model. Strange...

This seems to not be an issue while make a phone call "regulary" where your mouth is away only an inch of the microphone.
It seems to only happen when the "sound source" is not that near to the microphone as on calls.
I tested it myself with my son today. i sent him voice messages with WhatsApp. He said it's not that kind of clear like with my previous phone (HTC 10) but quality is still ok (while sound is muffled a bit) but it's so silent it's barely hearable when volume is set lower than 3/4. And he owns a HTC One M8 and that phone's speaker get really loud
Then i called him with WhatsApp but this time no messages but rather a voice call.
And now he said it's still not that clear than on my HTC 10 (but way clearer than before) but far louder and really good noticeable.
Topic: Really sad
Now there is a good amount of threads regarding this problem on OnePlus Bug Report section but it seems as if nobody of the staff cares about them...
My op3 is terrible every time I have gone to the service centre they would do a software reset and once changed the mic hardware but always acted as though I'm the only one with this issue. It's fine when I'm on speaker or through a headset but on a the normal phone mic the other end hears as though there's wind blowing
Almost all my callers complain that my voice is really muffled and they can't hear me well. Doesn't seem to matter if I have the phone to my ear, or using headphones. About 1/3 times, callers hear an echo of their own voice back at them, usually only for the first 30 seconds to a minute or so, then it stops. Really weird behavior and no idea if it's the mic or the radio or something else. Happens on all ROMS though. Started an RMA process to see if they can fix it. A chat rep hinted it might be a radio issue.
Phew glad mine is OK!
