When I use the speakerphone, the person on the other end hears odd/strange noises like metal clanging on metal suggesting there is a mic issue on my phone. I tested this myself by calling my landline and noticed it as well. It seems the noise canceling does not help. Is this an issue with custom AOSP based roms? Or is this a hardware issue with S3?

OMG this freakin PDA is driving me nuts as a phone. Anyone get really bad performance when using speakerphone or bluetooth to another party who is also on speakerphone? The best way I can describe this is it sounds like I'm talking on an old half-duplex speakerphone, that cuts the speaker when the mic is active. For example, if I make a sound on my end like scrunch a piece of paper or drop a pen the audio in the headset "dims" out and then back for a good half second, enough to make the call unintelligible sometimes when I'm in the car or driving. This happens especially if the person on the other end is on speaker.
One thing I noticed: this does not happen as much with the stock plug-in headset. Only speakerphone and most especially bluetooth. Speakerphone has other problems too, like a real nasty high-pitched audio loop that makes the person on the other end cringe (again, other person on speakerphone when this happens).
I've had this with the person on the other end using a Sprint speakerphone and a regular land line speakerphone, so it's not their phone.
I've looked around for quite a while, have the phone for over a month, and have seen some other fixes for audio that don't seem to relate to this issue, but:
does ANYONE else have this problem?
(Stock ROM 1.03.651.3 with radio 1.03.15F USA Sprint)

Hey guys n gals, I have a slight issue here with my mom's Inspire 4g.
The sound seems to quit when ever a call is received or made, unless a headset is attached or its on Speakerphone. What I mean is that the personon the other end cannot hear us, but we can hear them. Sometimes we can't hear them either and the other person only hears them self talking.
It works perfectly during a call with Bluetooth, Wired Headset and speakerphone.
Does this sound like a software bug or a hardware defect?
Its the original stock Rom from ATT and is not rooted.

Call HTC and have them swap the phone.
Question on the Voice to text. It works great when I speak into it but I almost always have my earpiece in. I'm using the earpiece that came with the phone.
Sometimes it will work with the earpiece mic but most of the times it will not. I will then need to unplug the earpiece and speak directly into it. Is someone having similar issues? Maybe the earpiece is garbage? I've tried it with my old iphone earpiece and pretty much the same result.
Any suggestions? Thanks
Hi all
Picked up a Nexus 5 recently (latest model latest revisions) and love the phone but am having issues with the earpiece quality.
I have to constantly move the earpiece/headset around to hear the person and find the "sweet spot", or they fade in and out.
Also I notice a hiss at times.
Reception and earpiece quality overall just don't seem good.
I have iPhone 5, galaxy s4, and htc one and none have these issues.
I am on rogers wireless in Montreal.
Does anyone else have these issues ?
Any idea how I can resolve them ?
Some have suggested changing kernel ?
Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks in advance

I have the same low earpiece volume problem.
So i use my phone a lot for voice calls and here's what I've found:
1) Prior to the android update (in stock 4.4.0) the earpiece in-call volume was ok. However the microphone was bad. Meaning other people always complained that i sound very far off and they couldn't hear me clearly. But I could still make calls without using a headset.
2) After 4.4.2 update, the microphone issue seems to be resolved. People tell me that they can hear me better. However the earpiece in-call volume is much lower than before. I can only hear people if I am in a very quiet room and even then I have to strain.
The only way to use the phone for calls is to use a headset (both wired and bluetooth work). The other day I was using my old Samsung Galaxy S3 for a phone call. The difference in clarity for phone calls is night and day. I had to actually lower the volume of the S3 because it was so loud and clear.
At this point, I am not sure whether it's my Nexus phone and a hardware defect. Could it be something that google did in the 4.4.2 update (meaning fixed the microphone, but lowered the in ear volume). Furthermore using a headset at max volume sometimes distorts the audio.
The funny thing is that with the 4.4.2 update the phone speaker is better and louder. However the earpiece for making calls is just plain lousy. I can't take calls unless I am carrying a headset with me.
Anyone having problems with the audio quality when using speakerphone?
I have a bunch of people complaining to me about the way I sound on speakerphone. It sounds like I am in a hole and there is a popping/screaching that they hear.
The person I am having the most problems with is on Verizon with a new Note 3.
I thought it might be the HK hack causing the problem but reversing it back to stock doesn't alleviate the issue.
