hi:
besides the galaxy s I have a nokia 72e and I want to ask if anyone has a problem with microphone (with Galaxy s)? maybe is not something serious but when i`m talking from the e72 the people hear me more clearly than i talk from Galaxy s;they complain that my voice is muffed.
i don`t know what to do .... if i go to warranty and stand in lines and let the phone for almost a week in their custody,and find out after that the phone was alright...?!
i discovered the difference by chance,when I called the same person from both phones shortly.
if anyone knows this kind of problem please let me know......
First of all, this doesn't belong in development.
Secondly, yes there is a known issue with the mic on the SGS, or rather the mic drivers and settings. I don't think there is a community fix for this, and Samsung has not acknowledged it publicly, so I don't think it will be fixed any time soon.
jap, I just finished my mic mod there. I looked the youtube video
how to disassemble the phone and bettered the mic part.
The mic is situated 90 degree and little rubber channel is used
to direct the sound to mic. This tiny rubber channel was incorrectly
pressed in so half of the input was covered. So a I widened the channel input
and also drilled the hole in case little bigger (do not do that! it may ruin the
case chrome). Sounds little bit better.
Now, is this normal, to make a mod to better mic sound for a elite phone ?
yes, there absolutely a known issue. I purchased two of these phones, and both had the exact same thing you describe. It was absolutely horrible!! I received two replacements, and the sound quality is MUCH MUCH better... BUT, it is still no where near where i think it should be. all my previous HTC devices had far superior sound quality than the Samsung GS. The Galaxy picks up voices 100 feet away... and noises from other crap that none of my other phones ever did... I'm hoping that it is in fact a software thing, and once 2.2 is released, it has better canceling technology built in. Will see..
Construction of built-in microphone is not a problem... The problem lies in software. If you connect external mic (fe. headset) sound is still disorted. There's no way 2 microphones will be broken. This is the same headset which is shipped with Samsung Wave and that phone has no problems with build in and headsets microphone.

Good point !
But in my case there was 50% better quality with headset ..
Now that I have some of yours attention - why don't I see more post
of video jerkiness, stuttering problems ?
In my phone After every 1 sec. the video recording stutters slightly.
I saw this we saw this all ready in first galaxy test video.
My main problem with the mic is the distortion... It's so bad you can't even record a clip in the car with the radio on. It already gets distorted, something to be ashamed of samsung.
Nice to have HD recording, too bad the only thing worthwhile is the picture since the audio is utter crap.
(Yes, a bit frustrated )
Is it still this bad with the JPK Froyo firmware?
Moved thread to Q&A section
Never noticed this before. I hope this is software related. More and more bugs keep on appearing, almost wishing I picked another phone. The Galaxy S has downright amazing hardware, yet Samsung choose to let it down with all the bugs

I've just bought the Galaxy S for my other half and have noticed exactly the same problem . Went back to the shop and tried the test phone they have in the shop. I only noticed a very marginal improvement (guy in the shop didn't notice any difference).
Anyway I would be interested to know if anyone has swapped the phone since noticing this problem and had an improvement - i.e. is it just a dodgy batch of microphones from Samsung?
Thanks all!
Is there still no fix for the microphon problem? 5 million items sold and each owner of it cannot take a proper video from a concert or on a fair or even on a birthday party, where there are louder surroundings. Annoying.
Please, devolopers, have an eye, ups, ear on that!
I've been complaining about this since July... no response

Most smartphone will get crappy sound when using built in microphone on High volume environements. Basically, it's hardware limitation with the built in microphone.
I've done some test (see in the accesorie sections for result with video) and you can use an external microphone with an adapter for theses type of recording.
So, the delivered headset does nothing better than the onboard mic.
It is definitely a matter of the hardware?
Asap I'll give an external mic a try....(using the Nokia-made TV-cable...)

Pls reply to other forum messages showing that u also have the same problem after replacing the phone (it only solve part of your problem), because I see your msg from another post that u were saying that u have no problem after replacing the phone. And that is not totally correct, u still encounter some problems
My problem is slightly different
Hi,
I got a sgs early 2011 and I quickly noticed that the voice recorder gives a very bad sound when listening back. I started to be afraid I would be as bad when calling someone. The problem I have is a horribly distorted sound with a terrible noise in the background. The recorded sound is simply useless.
later I was very happy when I did the call test as the use of the embedded microphone to call is alright. I even rang a friend beside asking what he thought about the sound qualify and he said it was ok. Then we swapped phones and I too thought the sound was fine.
But we tested again a recorded sound & video with my friend and it was awful.
After finding this thread I decided to try again and to compare with the head set microphone. For me it makes a huge difference ! The noise disappears and the distortion too.
first I thought the problem came from the compression rather than the microphone and now I don't know what to think...
My phone is on Froyo 2.2.1 (thanks to this website).

I have the same issue.
Check the comments, there is a guy who says how to fix it, but he is not very precise, so i asked for more info.
We'll see
Πάνος
Try out Speedmod by Hardcore in the dev section. Includes fixes for the mic and headphone output.
No need for Audio boost or any hacks. Sound is the way it should be now
A lot less background noise on mic now and no more EU regulations degrading the audio quality anymore.

Hi community,
I just ordered a 3t a few days ago but read afterwards about the massive microphone problems the 3 is suffering.
Phone calls shall be OK but sound recordings in videorecorder, WhatsApp, Skype etc shall sound very distorted, quiet and muffled.
Rumors are that this is a software issue but OnePlus isn't able (or willing) to fix this issue for months now. As the 3t has a slightly newer software build i want to know if this issue is present at the 3t too.
Kind regards
No issues with sound recorded on my 3t. I just listened to several videos I took and the sound was fine.
Thx for your reply. As I just read in a changelog the issue with recording videos got fixed with the 3.2.2 update. But the bad recording quality in WhatsApp, Skype, etc. shall still remain.
So it would be good if someone could test it with WhatsApp or Skype.
Used Skype last night talking to my niece and no issues with the microphone. She said she could hear me loud and clear.
I've noticed very low volume when I record in Snapchat, but haven't tested other applications.
Hmm, so it can not be fully excluded that this issue got transferred from 3 to 3t, damn...
It seems low overall to me, honestly. Snapchat in particular just seems to have a hard time picking up other sounds--like if I take a video of the TV, I have to be fairly close to the sound source. Or it has to do with the media sound level, as that seems super low until the top 20% or so to me.
Duo
My calling partners on Duo report hearing themselves as they speak. Is the microphone too close to the speaker on the 3t?
https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/noise-cancelling-mic-too-aggressive.477798/
Made a bug report for this. Watch/reply if you're having the same issue to try and get some attention on the subject, as I hear it didn't work so well for the regular Oneplus 3 and took a while for a fix to roll out. Regular video recording sounds fine, but Snapchat cracks and pops when I record video of another source (TV, etc).
As far as I know it's not completely fixed on the 3 yet!
Still people are complaining about the awkward soundrecording. I think you should have mentioned that this issue is present in almost every third party app that uses the microphone.
Hello guys how´s going?
I´ve just bought an OnePlus 3T and noticed that the sound recording in whatsapp is very distorced and muffled..
I´m running 100% stock the latest update (Nougat 7.0).
Is there any fix for this issue on the mic?
Tks guys

I have no issue on the mic. and have updated to the latest update of Nougat 7.0.
I use to send sound record on whatsapp also just fine. call on whatsapp, or BBM also just fine.
Am sorry i just reply to tell u mine has no issue on the latest update of Nougat 7.0.
but I have no idea on the issue and the fix for it.
Hello guys
Just to add some information, this issue with the mic only happens with WhatsApp recording.
When it comes to record some audio with native SW, the sound is perfect.

i notice this problem too.....during snapchat video audio is not perfect but when we record in audio recorder it is perfect
Major issues here as well...Skype and Hangout Calls are absolutely horrific, I literally have to talk into the device (like 1cm away from it) in order to make sure that my voice remains clear. Even after 10 cm distance my skype/hangout partner has quite a hard time to understand anything. I just tested it with skype test call as well - horrific. I´m on the newest stock. Had no problems with my nexus 6p or my iphone 6S plus, I was able to have calls from like 5 meters distance without problems (honestly)
All this complaining about Snapchat WhatsApp etc... Who cares there all stupid worthless apps that everyone thinks it's so cool to put every second of their lives on there (lames). Heres few permanent solutions for you people. 1. Just stop using those dumb social media apps and talk to people with your mouth like it was intended. 2. Go buy a stupid Samsung phone or something that is commercially big in the States then you wouldn't have a problem. Think about it oneplus probably knew about these bugs before it was ever mentioned here. They aren't concerned with social media apps. They are concerned with their oos bugs and improving there devices.

Why buy a SMARTphone if you can't use social media on it ? Maybe if you had a brain you could answer us.
Me too !! I get the same problem with the recording sound !! Have you find a solution ?
Factory reset that's at least what did the job for me.
I'm having a weird problem with my OnePlus 3T. I just got the phone about two days ago and have been testing out the camera, especially all the video modes. It seems that very many OnePlus phones have had some kind of noise cancellation issues, including the OnePlus 3. However the problem with noise cancellation in videos should already have been fixed was it in 3.2.2 and I'm running of course the latest 3.5.4.
So the video doesn't pick the backround audio as well as it would without the noise cancellation which should have been turned off. It also seems that when I talk a little hiss comes on to the video and when I stop talking, after half a second the hiss goes away. Also if sudden volume changes are introduced to the camera the amount of distortion is incredible.
The problem is also apparent in WhatsApp audio messages. The audio just seems to lack a lot of frequencies I had with my iPhone which I switched from to this phone. The iPhone recorded kind of steady audio. Here the audio seems to jump all around and seems ridiculously compressed and scratchy.
What I would like to know that is this still an issue with 3T and is there a fix for that? I would also like to know that what is the audio supposed to sound like. I have tried to find a reasonably good reference audio from youtube but they don't seem to have any unless they tell you about the previous model's horrible noise cancellation issue, which again should already have been resolved.

same here! not already fixed in OOS Open Beta4
When I take video for Facebook Live, I do save the videos in HD to my phone, but I also notice that the audio volume is low. How can I adjust this? I generally take videos at live band performances where I'm right at the front of the stage.. Unfortunately, I have to turn my headset speakers up to hear the sound.
Additional information: Normally, I keep my phone's volumes on mute. Would this have an impact on audio recording quality? Those that normally take Facebook Live videos, how are your volumes set? And also, can you hear the sound pretty well? When taking video, I'm normally towards the front of the stage, or at it, where the speakers are. Not sure if this has an impact on audio quality being so low or not.
8/25/19 EDIT: Over FOUR months later, still no replies to this topic, will bump. OP has been edited with a second paragraph.
I was about to post this question again but apparently I already had, over 4 months ago. No response, so this is a shameless bump. I've edited the OP a bit with "Additional Information". I took another Facebook live video yesterday and I'm still getting the same low volume in my recording.
Does anyone have any experience using an attached microphone with the Galaxy Note 9?
My sister bought the phone and while talking to her I've noticed how her voice goes from sounding loud and clear starts sounding like she's in a pit few meters away from the phone.
She had a lot of complains from other people regarding this, it happens across different apps, its hard to always replicate 100% but it happens in video calls as well.
I tried some troubleshooting with her and noticed when it happens that top microphone becomes the main one, while bottom one is there for something else as tapping on it produces no noise?
Anyone had any similar issues on this phone or any other Xiaomi phone? Its barely few days old and I'm wondering should she ask for another device or try fixing it its a known problem with this or another Xiaomi device?
I guess you are not alone in this misery. I have seen many people complaining about the sound quality of Redmi Note 10 Pro.
To resolve this problem, you may follow two procedures.
1. At first please try to update the MIUI software to the latest version. You may find a solution of this bug in the updated version.
2. Then check if the microphone is faulty. To do so, enter CIT and perform a test on the main microphone. If you find out that it's not working, then you must take it to a service center.
