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.

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.

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.

Looks like a minor upgrade. There is a PPC version and a Smart phone version, not sure of the differences or which is best for the Touch Pro.
Hi,
It is a major upgrade since a new voice engine is included.
The on the touch pro you need to install the pocket pc version.

I am always around wifi in the US and my friend has internet on his phone all the time since its dirt cheap (30 cents a day for unlimited in case your wondering)

do u guys know if this skype can be used with bluetooth headset?
"00" = "+" to make calls
Maybe this is common knowledge, but it took me an hour to find answer, which I eventually found on skype forums. I've used skype on PC for couple years, but just installed it on Fuze.
Problem is, you have to dial numbers in international format. For USA, that means you dial a "+1" before the area code and number. Skype 2.5 softphone has no way to type a "+" symbol and you cannot set it up to do so automatically like Skype on PC. Also, it does not accept input from our phones keyboard.
So, I found on Skype forums if you type "00" it equals the "+" symbol. Maybe its common knoweldge, but it gave me a hell of a time. Hope it helps.
...anyone know how to import Outlook Mobile Contacts into Skype mobile contacts?
Current Pocket PC version: 2.5.0.170. Release date: February 16, 2009 solved problem with Skype shuting down upon initiating skype call on my Touch Pro with Proven 1.14a ROM.
Finally I can make calls with skype on TP
Hey guys, I tested this over an EVDO data connection and wifi with and without a headset (wired). The quality of voice call was acceptable in every circumstance on both ends. However, not sure if this is an issue with my wireless ISP, using the EVDO data (and this has never happened) my data connection was disconnected within a minute or 2 in 3 consecutive calls. I have never had a disconnect issue before, and I did not receive a standard call to my phone in that period of time. Again, I am not sure if this is Skype causing the issue, or an issue with my stock Bell Mobility ROM/ISP. My guess would be Bell.
has anyone tried to use this with bluetooth headset?

Keep this issue alive...
My guess is there is a registry setting or three to adjust related to the default audio gateway instructions for Skype output, but I had trouble locating them before flying overseas (and therefore, using a WIRED headset for every skype call). I will look again, but anyone who has this fix, or an idea about solving the problem, please weigh in.
If this can be taken care of, then the "Call using Skype" option in Contacts may actually make Skype on a mobile work like a true IP phone client and change my mind about leaving Skype running on my mobile al the time instead of forwarding incoming Skypes to my mobile number (and paying for the forwarding) in an effort to avoid every answered Skype call being on speakerphone by default.

There is no registry setting or such thing (also see the Skype forums for this issue) to achieve this. According to the developer(s) they have no possibility to use the earpiece speaker from their code as the phone OS will not allow this...
CU,
Cactus World
P.S. If anyone finds a way, please share as this issue is very annoying indeed!
test results
OK, so the speaker issue is not resolved.
As mentioned before, physical keyboard is not working: on-screen keyboard fine.
I only use skype on wifi, but for me the call quality is improved.
So, other than the keyboard issue, it's a good update.
to use skype through the earpice instead of the speaker just install troca2.cab works perfect
Greetings!
This is my first post in this forums. They've been very useful to flash, check updates, etc and I've never had the necessity of posting anything since I've cleared mostly any doubt I've ever had about my Android devices. This time, after searching all over the forums and in several other sites over the net I haven't been able to find any solution to my problem. Let me expose it:
Few months ago after having flashed my device to different ROM's, my friends started to tell me that they couldn't hear me well during phonecalls. The sound was not clear enough. They could hear, the volume was ok, but the phonecall the sound call they would recieve was not well.
I thought that this would be related to the hardware, maybe the mic was broken, because once I was thrown into a swimmingpool and I saved my phone by putting it into a jar with rice and letting it rest for few days. However, I have used other programs such as Skype and done the test phonecall so I could hear myself and it went verywell compared to call recorder app tests or regular call, the sound was much better. So I guess that the microphone is still okay and the problem is related to a setting issue that haven't been changed with flashing to different ROMS.
I've been running several ROMS, most of them based in CM7 and I'm now back to the latest stock ROM for America (2.3.5) and the problem is the same.
Any advice will be very apprecciated!

Hi All,
I have been having this problem with any firmware based on stock .290 and .136. Be it Whatsapp or Line or Viber. Anything that sends an Audio message comes out garbled, which is extremely annoying.
The weird thing is.. this becomes PERFECTLY fine when I open the the SIM card port.. I seriously fail to see the connection to MIC performance here.. with the port being open! so it's just weird!!
I have downgraded to .257 for now due to this bug.
Can anyone on .290 or .136 try whatsapp audio messages and see if the problem exists for them too?
Thanks all!
LaMMi
You have 2 microphone on Z1, when you record the voice message, speak to the one on top behind Led Notification/Phone Call Speaker.
BTW, Whazzapp always had this problems.
Unfortunately, this doesn't solve the problem neither..
It's really weird because it affects normal phone conversations as well but not as much.. I can use what's and click on the paperclip icon and actually RECORD a voice clip and it will come out fine... just when I use the audio button, it comes out garbled!
So damn weird!
Probably cheap codecs and the option in Whazzapp was always like that and many reported to have problems. Maybe with the next update Whazapp will fix that but now how do that I don't know. Just use different app to record voice messages and send them via whazz.
Download the new beta of WhatsApp here before it hits the Playstore.
It seemed to have solve the problem for me

As stated in this topic. The only alternative is to click the thumbnail icon in a chat, select audio and choose what's app recorder.
That will allow u to send a voice note the old fashioned what's app way without the garble. Even still I've experienced app and phone freezes when trying to listen to voice notes via what's app. So hopefully the next update fixes it.

glad to know I am not the only one experiencing this problem.
I will surely report back when I have more details/fixes
Just updated to MonX .136 and installed the beta whatsapp version suggested by slimldj..
whatsapp still has some form of garbled messages but it's 90% fixed.. it's good enough for me to use 4.3 based rom now!
I hope others will find this information useful.

I was going to post a new topic specifying this exact problem (although my phone doesn't seem to benefit from opening the SIM flap).
This garbled recording is driving me nuts, it worked fine on .257. I'm also in a Z1 (C6906) .290 based rom (iHackers).
Is there some way this problem can be solved? Any help or input will be greatly appreciated.

Hiya Aldo!
I was having this problem actually all the way until around 3-4 days ago when Whatsapp got updated. I was using the workaround by "attaching" an audio clip instead of pressing down the button to speak.
Without changing rom (Monx .136), I just updated whatsapp to version 2.11.175 and now it is working 100% fine now.. The audio comes out clear and loud when played back...
Hope this helps, please post back of your results!

This mod will boost your microphone volume! It works with all Galaxy S5 variants. Tested on Nougat, Oreo and Pie (LOS 14/15/16/17).. It might work with every ROM.
It will survive ROM updates as long as you don't format /system.
You'll need root access on your phone and a custom Recovery like CWM or TWRP to install this mod. It is installed like a ROM: put the ZIP on your internal or external(SD) memory, reboot to Recovery console and choose "INSTALL", find the ZIP and proceed to its installation. Then reboot, done.
Technically: It will replace your mixer_paths.xml and media_profiles.xml files to raise MICrophone volume on many types of calls (normal voice call, video call, audio call, speakerphone) and sanitizes the bitrate of video and audio recordings for a better quality video. It also enables stereo audio even with low resolution video.
"Normal" version should be nice for everyone. The "higher" version will make your mic ultra-sensitive, you may sound SCREAMING at everyone!
Install "tuned kernel" if you care about performance and your battery life...
- The "26-906k" file is for a S5 specific MODEL(906k)
- These files won't work with G901F

Wait.. You will only find any difference if you try to listen to something you recorded (like listening a voice message you sent over WhatsApp), or if you call another phone.. It should raise your mobile's microphone sensitivity a bit for both recording and voice calls, both with headset/earphones and without it.
What are you trying to do? tell me specifically and I'll look into it..
It's not recording anything. In fact, I can no longer use my phone in headset mode. It has to be speakerphone or with a headset. Bluetooth mic usage is fine, only for calls. Otherwise, nothing is working for Whatsapp, OK, Google, etc.

Hardware problem, dude.. no mod or rom will fix this, I think.
If the mic isn't totally broken (ie. if when you SCREAM, the other party can hear you, but LOW), I could edit the mod to make the mic EXTREMELY sensible.. it would be a workaround.....

Not a hardware problem. It works fine with older builds of CM13 (I'm talking like XX072016 and older) and the stock firmware.
Fantastic
I just want to say, you are a saint for making this patch. I've tried a few custom roms and none have addressed the low mic volume issue with S5's. Anyway, thanks again!
Just used my phone is handset mode. I actually noticed a pattern. When disconnecting from either cars' bluetooth modules, I lose the ability to use the handset. This is usually resolved with one or multiple reboots.
Wow! I have used the zip of 'thejester' for a long time. But have experienced bad distortion on video recordings.
Especially high sounds like Hi-Hats were pure distortion.
Didnt looked into your zip, but you seem to do something different. Distortion is over. Thanx for that!

Wow! I have used the zip of 'thejester' for a long time. But have experienced bad distortion on video recordings.

Hi guys!
Just got my Zuk Z2 Pro 6GB/128GB from Gearbest. It came with international ROM and some disturbing apps, so i installed the official ROM ZUI 2.0.057 ST via PC/QPST and later updated via online update to ZUI 2.3.044 ST.
I live in Germany but the english system language is ok for me.
The phone overall is very impressive and i like it al lot.
The only Problem i have is that nobody understands me wehn i call somebody. They just hear a very very low voice and can hardly understand me. If i call somebody via speaker erverything is fine and they understand me perfectly. I tried to reboot the device an even tried another dialer, but nothing solved the problem.
I'm going to reset the phone and hope that solves the problem.
Dou you have any other suggestion?
Thanks!

This could be a solution but I want to keep the AICP ROM (menawhile the version dated 13/02/2017). So, is there anybody else with the same mic problem?

Solution...
The solution works 100% of the time. The solution is simple, install mSwitch (KeyCut) from the Play Store. Open the app and plug in the head phones, the app will show a message, click yes. If it asks 2 messages than click yes in both.
Search information about this app in order to understand more. The problem here is that the Lenovo Zuk Z2 phone thinks that earphones are plugged in and that is why during calls, the earphone and mic do not work. Also, while playing videos the speaker will not work for this very same reason. Installing this app resets the system setting and the phone starts to function normally...

Hi,
the mSwitch didn't fix my issue as the app seemed not working. However I found another solution that worked for me. You need to enter engineering mode and manually test the mics. Once I tested them (and they worked) when I came back to the system, people could hear me normally.
The setting can be found by entering the following into the dialer
*#*#1111#*#*
and then test these
Mic&Spk
BackMic&Spk
ANCMic&Spk
Hopefully it will do the trick. good luck
