People can't hear me during call -Input sound works randonly for call or voice search

Hi all,
Here's an explanation of the issue that occurs on my Nexus S :
- Sometimes, when making a call or answring a call, people can't hear me.
- When it happens, Voice search or voice text input don't work as well
- Reboot don't change anything
- I've tried both KF1 and KI1 radio. No changes (Seems to be worst with KI1, but and can't be sure)
- I've tried CyberGR-mod, KalimochoAz's CM9 and Stock 4.0.3. No changes
- Works fine using BT headset or wired headset
- Tested on two different carriers (Bouygues Telecom and Free Mobile)
- Reported by other french users : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22339612&postcount=2305 & http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22338740&postcount=2304
I don't have a clue if it's software or hardware related.
I'm looking for help, similar issue, any ideas or testing protocol
Thanks !

I got the same prob randomly, but for me , a reboot will correct the problem ...

May you complete your rom config with your radio version ?
I already read that your using KalimochoAz's CM9 v2.1
I'm gonna try to reproduce your config for testing

if you have voodoo or any other audio app like that, turn off "hi-fi record" and your recorded audio volume should increase.

It was my first though when I was on CyberGR mod, and I uninstalled it.
Still had sound issues
Now on stock rom, I've never installed such app, and the issue still occurs.

Its weird, I'm having this same exact issue on a sense rom that I have ported..
Could it be more software related? or a problem with the radios?

Mic not working during call

I've been experiencing a very frustrating issues where the mic is not working during phone call. I can hear the the other person but they cannot hear me, and if they can it's very very low, so low that they can't make out what I'm saying.
However, the microphone does work again if I go to speaker-phone mode. So i know the Mic itself is working (sound recorder works also).
I think somehow the phone thinks a headset is plugged in and disable the mic unless I'm on speaker-phone mode.
I don't think it is a ROM issues as I have tried a large number of different ROMS, including flashing stock OPO image. None worked.
If anyone know a solution to this issue please help me out. It's very frustrating that I can't make phone calls and have to turn on speaker-phone or use a headset.

Try a different Kernel, had the problem with my 3 different Headsets, i tryed the same ROM with some different Kernels and with the AK Kernel everything worked fine...not with the Furnace! Also try to flash UKM over a Custom Kernel. Check out the AK Kernel there you can find everything you need. If you have done everything right as in the "manual" open up Synapse...there is a point called "Sound", there you can find the point "Microphone", volume it up and try again. if its still not working make a full wipe that your device loses all data and reinstall the original CyanogenMod 11s with this tool here or any tool you want!

If its still not working delete again everything with the tool, install the CM11s with this tool again, install the CWM Recovery, flash the crDroid Rom (best ROM and everything works for me!), flash GAPPS, flash AK Kernel and last flash UKM!
This is my current setup and everything is working

No luck here. : /
I've tried everything from flashing different ROMs to flashing different kernel. I even went back to factory reset, lock/unlock bootloader to wipe device. None of that work. Very frustrating. I'm starting to think it's a hardware issues, since trying out that many ROMs didn't help at all.

Did you informed oneplus already?

Yep, filed a support/warranty request. But god knows how long it'll take for them to get back to me. There's no phone number support or anything. : /

Hi,
unfortunately I have the same problem. I've tried to fix it even modifying the system/etc/mixer_paths.xml but nothing works (http://forum.xda-developers.com/one...icrophone-ok-google-low-t2805568/post53914918). I noticed when that changing the values of hph-mic and anc-mic to 0, then handsfree mode doesn't work neither. Therefore we have clues to think the main mic is which has the problem.
Curiosly, I do not have had this issue out of the box, I think it began after 30O update. However I've downgraded to 25R and the issue remains.
I hope you the best luck
Regards

Cynogen 11s team is working to add support for CTIA headphones soon. See my post in similar thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55186894&postcount=25)

OK figured it out I uninstalled the latest hangouts update and made and received several calls all seems to be ok now

Is there any update regarding this issue? I still have this mic problem during calls and no clue on how to fix it.

OPO microphone problem is a hardware problem
Same problem here.
One morning main microphone in my OPO died - no one can hear me during call.
Recording sound with main mic gives some barely audible sounds.
tried reboot/factory defaults /root with fixing mixer paths - to no avail
The only solution is to call with speakerphone or bluetooth headset or normal headset.
Looks like hardware problem. Sadly OPO support sucks.

I have a similar problem. Did you find a fix? I did everything. Restarted, ROM changed and everything!

As I wrote - no fix - IMHO it is a hardware fault. Still waiting for response from OPO support in hope for receiving RMA.

I am also thinking to return the phone because of this issue.

Just adding that I also have this problem - phone was working fine until yesterday.
Now mic is extremely quiet in call, unless I switch to speakerphone then it works fine (Video recording sound is fine also, but Google speech to text etc is not working)
I installed Swiftkey last night but I think its unrelated

Has anyone found any solutions for this problem yet?

Yes, I sold the phone!

:laugh:

I´ve opened a ticket. I advice to do the same.
- They will send you a link, with the ZIP-file in this link you have to reflash the rom. But probably it won´t work.
- Then tell them that it doesn´t work (of course only if it doesn´t work).
- Apply a RMA request
- Send them your ONE
- Receive an new one.
I´m waiting for the TNT courier, at the moment.

same problem here. No response from support. now recently even the emails to [email protected] are bouncing back with error, cannot deliver your email to the address.

So.. I'm having the same problem now..
I can't even submit a RMA, as I bought the phone from a person without the invite - so I have the receipt and everything, but when trying to submit the RMA, I have to select the order - Which I have none of, isn't that just wonderfull?
Did any of you find a solution?
I've had Samsung GS3 and GS4 with almost the same issues now and it is killing me, my will to keep living with these problems are close to none...

alcatel idol 3 koodo echo problem

i did a update koodo alcatel idol 3 323 mb it fixed lots of issues camera, lock screen double but when i take calls it echos for the other person.
the echo is only for the person on the other end and not for me and it is very little when on earpiece but when i turn on speaker it echo extremely loud for the other person unbearable for them to talk to me. i need to use speaker as when i am driving . please help me out . i wish i did not update , can i go back to the old firmware somehow until this is fix.
i did a factory reset 2 times after the update hope it will fix but it did not. the only way not to exho is put my full ear on earpiece and talk. echo is their with mic headphone and with speaker it gets loud even with the volume down to full. it doesnt echo on viber with ear peice or speaker. so im guessing it is software for dialer app , also tried different dialer app it didnot help. please help

Same issue here since doing the update. This really needs a quick fix.
Edit: I've just sent Alcatel a message, will let you know what they say.
Glen

Try to turn off the JBL effects maybe should help because whenever i have this enabled and play music and sometimes i pause it kinda echoes even watching vlogs too in youtube

It is only possible to downgrade if you have a system image and boot backup using fastboot and twrp
I can confirm it is also happening on my device: koodo.
Speakerphone was always bad on my phone before I had to scream at it so people could hear me now its an echo.
My car has Bluetooth so I will be pairing it tomorrow (never bothered before because of laziness)

I only use wifi no sim card. People who receive a Hangout voip call from me and only when l use the speaker phone hear a loud echo of themselves. Speaker off no echo.

Mi4, CM13 echo in calls

Hello,
I have a Mi4 with TWRP and CM13, latest nightly from today, but the problem also occured on the nightlies before.
During calls the other party complains about hearing himself. On the internet I found ideas like:
- disabling the "OK Google"-recognition on every screen (although this held true for Skype-video-calls)
- lowering in-call volume
I did not find any other ideas. Do you have an idea?
EDIT: I also tried two things:
1. entering the following things -> no changes
su
setprop persist.audio.fluence.mode false
setprop persist.audio.handset.mic analog
reboot
2. disabling the mic while calling -> success, the other party has no echo anymore
This of course is no useful solution, as normally a mic is needed for calling.

I'm facing the same problem. Did you find a solution?

nope

Same here.
Posted this in another forum. After trying a few things it appears that microphone is relaying sound from the speaker back to the caller. It's like the microphone is too sensitive so it picks up the callers voice from the speaker.

yes, it is definitely a problem with the mic. as soon as you deactivate it, the other party has no echo anymore.
EDIT: I wonder if this is the case, because in the native MIUI there was a noise-suppression and dual-mic option which may be good for avoiding this problem. I highly doubt CM will implement this specifically for this phone. Right now I am always calling with a headset which works fine.
EDIT: Headset isn't working anymore too. Callers say I am way too silent. Soundrecorder App confirms that mic sensitivity is too low.

I think the solution might be here, thought I am not able to understand completley what they are doing there: https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/NIGHTLIES-2619

It should be solved after installing the next nightly:
https://www.cmxlog.com/13/cancro/
http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/139932/
Could someone pls give a feedback after installing it? I switched from nightly to snapshot-channel and therefore am not able to check.

Is the problem still existing with the new snapshot release?

I'd like to know that too! I switched to nightlies now and some people I talked with say it's still there, some don't.

I heard from some guys using latest Snapshot that the echo is gone but when they make a hands free call, the speaker and mic is very quiet/ low. So probably the problem is not totally fixed right now.

I'm on Nightly 13/04 right now, no echo at all but the phone is turning of during call (after I tried to turn on the display). Is there another behaviour on the Nightly you are using?
