Hi ..
I bought a Micromax A100 a little over 2 months back .. It came with ICS 4.04 installed.
Ever since I bought I'm facing problem with it while using Skype or anyother voice chat/VOIP app (Internetcalls, VOIPstunt, Talkatone etc)..
Whenever I try to use any of these apps which have voice chat/call feature, the voice come only from external speaker at the back side of the phone and not through the earpiece.. I have tried changing the settings of skype to make the voice come from earpiece but it comes from speaker only in both the settings... Same is the case with other apps...This causes lots of inconvience and i have to use headphones thru 3.5mm jack when I have to make voice calls... I had a Spice Mi-425 with Gingerbread earlier and on that this issue wasn't there...
I have tried Factory reset and upgraded ROM with Fastboot Upgrade and Reverse Image upgrade available on Micromax FTP site but the problem still persist even after that...
Please help me solve problem so that I can use voice feature of these apps thru the earpiece..
Thanks in advance and hope to hear from you soon!

Its a known bug in the Android reported here at the code.google.com
http://code.google.com/p/android/is...at&colspec=ID Type Status Owner Summary Stars
Btw its somewhat a feature as said by the ppl at Skype...
I browsed through Skype forum and I found out this,
When a video chat is on, the person must b able to listen and watch simultaneously...
So the output is directed through phone speakers...
Also it has something to do with the permissions assigned to each apps...
Directing the voice through earpiece requires MODIFY_AUDIO_SETTINGS permission...

Micromax A100 .. Help Urgently needed!
Thanks Aftab for the research and the reply.. I can understand that when a person is on a video call he may need voice from speakers as phone is required to be kept in front of face at that time .. BUT what I cannot get it why it thru speakers when a person is on audio call only .. I have disabled video calls in skype since I don't use it.. yet, this problem exist. The thing you wrote about MODIFY AUDIO SETTINGS .. Can I do it on my own or some programming has to be done for that?
Its not only a Skype issue.. it happens with all the apps that have voice call feature .. so maybe it has to do with ICS?
Also no such issue was there in Gingerbread on my Mi-425 ..
Is there any app to fix this?? I can try rooting the phone and then using that app if something to fix does exist?
pls advice.

Hi...
i just bought this phone... & looking for a working call recoding application... i tried many ones from android market... but either they record only my side or crashed out.. i really need a good application which support call recording facility... specially other side... & in normal mode only... not speaker mode...
I hope you guys also faced the same problem like me... & some of you guys find the solution. Please guide me.Thanks
The problems is almost all manufactors modified the android they put on their devices in to disable call recording. There is actually build in functionality for this, but if you select call as source, you just get an empty file. It's a shame that most cripple android like that.
The only hack i know of where they got it working is the i9000 from samsung. They hacked the phone.apk to enable call recording.
Call Recording for Optimus One
I bought a Optimus One for my dad, and he needs a call recording s/w... i tried Totall recall and it works fine, but after a min or so, it hangs / shuts off the entire phone. Can any1 help me with any software that works for Optimus oNE???

Hey i know it's pretty old thread but i found working app that works really great on our beloved P500. Records you and caller and saves it in mp3 files. There many options of configuration all you need to do is root your phone and install from market "rVoix for rotted HTC Hero" (can't pasate link cause of lack of 10 posts )
I'm using it on rotted LG p500 with ICS on board.
App it selfs starts a service which is fully configurable, you can set up to record all calls, calls from desired numers, unknow call etc. Maybe someone will need it
It's suggested to not record all calls but only few which one you want to have recorded, casue during the call quality of call is avarage.
Hi everyone,
While using VOIP other person can't here me. It seems to be due Microphone problem.
It is my first Android device and I have it since one Month so I am not sure what is the best option to fix the problem:
- Try Factory reset and hope it will help
- Buy BT Headset
- replace firmware with Kyrillos and use Voodoo Control
- send phone back and ask to fix it.
other suggestions?
Is it with just one application or all apps? If you used just one app, try some others and see if the problem persists

It's not your microphone that fail here, but it's rather a misconfiguration of your VOIP app. Try keyword NAT and STUN for your search.
A simple test would be to check with a real mobile call wether the mic is working or not.

I tried Skype, MobileVOIP, and couple of other VOIP clients. In all cases the other party can not hear me. The only thing that is working is sound test in Nimbuzz. If I start it and start other VOIP client in parallel then everything is working but the quality is poor. I guess Nimbuzz's voice test is switching on the Microphone or increase it's sensitivity somehow. It is a pity that Nimbuzz does not support my VOIP provider.

Thank you very much! It works! I installed 3CX App and entered STUN server of my VOIP Provider.
Unfortunately I still have problem. The outgoing audio quality is very poor. So other person can not understand me at all. Initially I though that it is due to connection. But this proble is stay several days and same with different SIP Clients. I found post saying that update to CyanogenMod solved this problem. As far as I know the best ROM for SG3 is Kyrillos. My question is: If I change my original ROM to Kyrillos will I be able to use Factory reset and return back to Original ROM without any problems? Somehow I did not find much about this on the net. It is may be due to the fact that nobody want to change back.
Any voice initiated voice recorders for android 2.3.4 phones? I mean the recorder should wait idle and record only when voice level goes above a certain level... just like some CCTV softwares record video.

Pls let me know if i have missed any

So.. I plugged my Headphones that include a Mic that i got with my phone into the audio jack and do another test.. and everything is clear.
This is stupid ..I wonder if anyone has a fix for this.
Think Any of the CM 10.1 Daily's have fixed this issue?
This is the main reason why I dont run CM10. I havent found a fix other then using a headset or bluetooth with skype. Once there is a fix I will sure return to CM10
I have a crdriod rom with no mic during call.. as the other person cannot hear me.. so I'm trying to figure out the main cause why it's not working.. what i noticed is that in app permissions when i checked the phone app it has permission to access Microphone but there also shows the last time when it was accessed.. and it says the microphone never accessed.. what i think it there may be a bug in telecom framework may be with incall services.. kindly someone guide me to how i can solve it or may be where to find telecom services .. I'm rooted
