Phone problem, transmitting

Hi anyone and all,
My XDA II all of a sudden developed a problem in that although I can dial and hear people I had called, they can not hear me. I have toggled the mute button, performed a soft and hard reset and even installed the latest upgrade in an effort to resolve, but no joy.
Does anyone have any ideas on how i can fix my beloved XDAII?

have you tried
1. to use normal record to check if the mic is working?
2. cleaned the mic

phone can only hear callers
Yes, i have tired the record function, that works fine, sorry should have mentioned that earlier, i wonder if it is a component transmitter problem!

Unbearable background noise

I get complains almost daily that the background noise is overpowering when I'm on the phone. I basically can't be on the phone anywhere where there is any activity or it sounds so loud people ask me to call them back. I've tried a couple of different AudioPara3s but none have corrected my issue. I'm currently using RRE but had the same problem with RomeOS. Does anyone happen to know what I can do about this? If it is a setting I can change in AudioPara3, does anyone know which field(s) I should mess with?
Thanks.

Have you got "Microphone AGC" turned on? That's a technology that automatically screws up the volume of your voice when talking softly. It's nice when inside, but outside it also boosts background noise, like wind and traffic. Try turning it off, when in loud environments.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the tip. I checked Microphone AGC but it was off. I'm wondering if I just have a bad phone, since the problem is so bad I'm sure there would be a lot of other people complaining if it were common.
Bump in case someone knows something I can try with AudioPara3

Hi there,
I have the exact same problem...
It doesn't matter if i am inside or outside, the person in the other end hear backround noise over my voice... It is absolutely impossible to talk...
One person i talk to alot says my voice sounds almost distorted, like some gain or amplification is to high.
I would really like to know if someone has a solution to this issue?!
AGC is turned off..
Best regards
Andreas

Same issues here. Using the same phone, I have the problem when I'm running the Energy 6.5 Rom's, but not with the Energy 6.1 Rom's. Been searching and I'm stumped.
I did notice that the proram TouchPro Tweak has an Audio Boost that can only be set to "Medium" or "High". The program is written into most Rom's though so deleting it won't help.
Any thoughts?

Any help here would be very much appreciated, I've found nothing after many more hours of searching.

Are you guys sure you are using the correct rlphone.dll to match your radio?
It could be screwing with your "radio" functioning.

Yep, I did reflash my raido and reinstall my rilphone cab to make certain. The reply is still much appreciated!
Okay, I've had a bit of success.
- Microphone AGC - Enabled
- Used Total Commander and went to -> \plugins\registry\HKCU\Software\HTC\SOFTAGCData
- Max Level Gain : Changed Decimal Value from 10 -> 1
Background noise gone, but my voice is still very muffled.
If it wouldn't be too much of a bother, would someone running a 6.1 Rom be able to post up their values from all the registries under "SOFTAGCData"?
I would be very thankful.

*** SOLVED ***
Flashed back to a stock AT&T Rom and extracted all of the Audio files that may of been the cause.
Reflashed one of the Rom's that was giving me the issue, called the wife, problem still existed.
Dropped the AT&T Rom files in, placed a call, and Viola! Problem Solved!
Just extract these into the Windows dir (At your own risk, but they're just AT&T Stock files) -> Clicky

[Q] Echoing when talking on Viber/Skype?

Hi all,
I am from Australia and got a sony z3 the weekend and so far it has been great but I am having an issue when talking to people over viber/skype. When using video chat or loud speaker the other person can hear themselves back quit loudly like it is an echo. Even if i put the headphones in on my phone they can still hear themselves back but it isn't as loud.
If I switch to my old samsung s3 it has no problems I am using the same wifi etc same location and calling the same people.
There doesn't seem to be much of a issue when calling normal and using the loud speaker. Just with apps like viber/skype.
Does anyone else have this issue at all? Or can anyone test video/using loud speaker on Viber and letting me know if they have the same issue or is my phone possibly faulty?
Thanks Matt

Try a reboot.
Or try another app. It's possible Viber/Skype doesn't use noise cancellation. You could always use a headset or BT speaker (set it further away from the phone). If that all fails, there's a Mic Sensitivity setting under Settings -> Sound -> Audio Settings.

Thanks for the reply,
I have tried rebooting and it didnt help. I have also tried using headphones and while it made it a bit quieter they still had the same problem.
I will have a go at messing with the sound settings, thanks.
I think i am just going to take it back and see if it is just my phone with the issue or all z3's
Is anyone able to test on the z3 and video call someone on viber and let me know if they have the same issue?
Thanks,
Matt

[Q] sharing music/ audio during a phone call

Hello everyone!
What I'm looking to do is really simple, a LOT of people are interested in these feature, however, no one has a clear solution.
There has been a lot of post about this subject but they are most old post and there's nothing help full.
Here is the problem - whenever I'm talking over the phone, I can play any music I like and I can hear it perfectly, but the other side cant hear anything! even if ill let the music play using the phone speaker - the other side is silent (witch is strange cause when the speaker play, the mic should transfer the sound and shouldn't "care" who is making it).
So after a lot of searching for apps and different ways, I found out something interesting.. If I make the call using an VOIP (skype, viber and so on) and Ill play music at the same time - THE OTHER SIDE CAN HEAR IT PERFECTLY!!! witch means the phone is fully capable of doing it.
What is going wrong when I'm using the cellular network instead of VOIP? is there a way around it?
Ive noticed some people don't get WHY would I want to do it.. well, I'm working using my phone (sales) and using the exact same pitch. I would like to be super lazy and play a recorded version of me, and when its done, be able to just keep talking to the person without him being able to notice the difference.
Since I'm doing it for work, I cant use VOIP for regular calling since Ill lose the option to use "Airdroid".
I'm using Nexus 4, Slimkat rom (4.4.4).
ANY help at all will be appreciated

Microphone not picking up sound

So I got my Moto G about 5 months ago and the microphone picked up everything fine, but as of recently if I try and take a video or use any other application that requires a microphone to pick up sound, I wont hear anything after I play it back even if I put the volume on max. Calling someone works fine because they can hear me still, but if im not using the phone, it doesnt work as in you hear no sound at all. Can someone please tell me how to fix this problem?

My advice is to ask the Moto Support on Twitter, yes I know that here you can, but give a try

I had an issue similar to this - the microphone didn't pick up anything, speaker did work. Don't know if it's related but the Facebook app had permission to use the microphone - i went into settings and disabled that permission and then tested the mic, it started working...
