Video Chat = Low Volume

Anyone else experiencing this in Qik? Tried over wifi and 3G, downloaded all updates. The volume is very low. Does this happen to anyone else?

OMG yes! I thought I was the only one? It's too damn hard to hear who I'm talking to. The person even asked me why I would bring the phone up to my ear every time he spoke. I hope an update can fix this.

I experienced the same thing using Tango. Tried doing a test chat with my friend on his iphone. He kept asking me to repeat myself and said the volume was low. I could hear him fine.
So, just to see, I tried it with the headphones and mic... MUCH better, he could hear me fine.
At first I thought it was the case maybe getting in the way, but taking it off didn't help at all.
Not sure what to make of it... hopefully, it is just some software problem and nothing major.
This is my first post BTW... After leaving the iphone a couple of months ago I have tried 3 Samsung Captivates (Galaxy S), 2 G2's, and 2 MT4G's... I think I finally got a keeper. This thing is redonkulous!

same - tried over data and wifi. However... girlfriend used headphones and no headphones, and iphone head phones... could barely hear here. it would cut in and out sometimes too... she couldn't hear me half the time either... helllppppp this is why we bought this stupid phone!

i had the same problem today, i hope it's just a matter of an update, other than that this phone is awesome! i can't believe i got a MyTouch after having a g1, i thought i'd be a loyal vanilla user but this phone was too sweet to pass up

lol @2071. Yea I'm about to get it Tomorrow coming from a g1. I wish this was vanilla, or i can at least root

Double check that your call is going through the speakerphone. Is it possible that the video call audio is defaulting to the earpiece? I wonder because if it sounds normal using headphones then there's probably nothing wrong. Just a guess.

The other side they can hear me perfectly. Its just my ability to hear them. During the call, if I push the volume keys, the volume meter comes up on the phone as "media volume." Also, if I make a regular non-video call and put it on speaker, the speaker is LOUD. So its just confined to video calls..... Also, other media (music) is LOUD.

Ya I have also tried Tango and its the same low volume on The network or my wifi. I haven't tried headphones yet though.

I can confirm low volume as well. Seems to work way better with headphones in for both sides.

Alright, well make sure you all call in to tmo tech support so this becomes a known issue quickly!

im not experiencing low volume... what i am experiencing is when talking to my friend, I had to switch the mic on and off each time I wanted to talk and hear him.. kinda like a 2 way radio

Frontspeaker crackling

Hi!
I just got my nexus s. When Im talking to someone else on the phone, the person I'm calling sounds very crackly. The crackling appears while having the volume > 50%. If its at 50% and lower the speaker sounds just fine. Another thing I noticed is that holding my thumb onto the speaker eliminates the crackling.
I think that I'm going to return the phone. Just wanted to know if I'm the only one having that kind of trouble.
The exact description of the phone is GT-I9023FSAC NX in case some one asks.
Thanks a lot!

are you on stock? no volume config apps?
if you havent done anything to your phone yet besides calling and texting, then yeah, i think you should get your phone replaced.

Just exchanged my inspire for a new one, same problems, recall?

Well, ive been having signal/call quality problems and a broken speakerphone so I decided to exchange the phone for a brand new one.
On this new phone the speakerphone still doesn't work (the other person can't make out what im saying at all). Both phones have had this same problem, why does HTC not fix this?
By dialing *#*#4636#*#* I have switched the network to edge only and now get 3 bars instead of 1 in my house. Im hoping this fixes the call quality problem Im having.
Depending on how my call quality is over the next week, I may go back and see if I can pay the difference and get an Atrix.

Tell them you're having signal issues @ home and you'd like one of the microcells. That will alleviate your signal issue while there. The speaker phone, I dunno, mine has worked just fine on both of my Inspires.

Ive read different reviews and it seems very hit or miss as to whether or not they will give you one for free or charge $100-$150. Do you have any experience with it?

Called ATT, they sent updates to my phone supposedly, I seem to be maybe getting 1 more bar in H+ but not consistently. He told me to call a store and tell them you're having problem and ask about the microcell. Would be nice to get that for free, but still bummed about my speakerphone.

if you've only got one bar of signal, it could be the reason your call quality could be so low- may not be much an issue with speakerphone at all... does the other side hear you without trouble when using a headset or the phone itself?
and i'd assume you're using the stock rom that at&t ships- maybe you could install the volume+ app and tweak your speakerphone settings?

Which setting cuz for me it just yes back to hspda

The speakerphone doesn't work even when I have 3-5 bars. I will be talking to them fine, and then once its on speaker they say "what what, i cant really hear you" and then once i take speaker off they can hear me fine. Both stock phones have been like this? I will check out the volume+ app

speakerphone TERRIBLE
I have also had major problems with the speakerphone on my phone since I bought it. I think I am right around the 30 day return point, but I have been to lazy to return it to stock and take it back. Not sure if it is a hardware problem or if the phone is just like this. I asked my friend who has the same phone, and he said he didn't notice a problem.
It's like the mic input is way too sensitive, so when I put someone on speakerphone whatever they say gets looped back into the mic and echos VERY loudly back to them. Absolutely impossible to have a conversation with speakerphone on which is very annoying because I prefer it most of the time.
I can also notice that the problem exists when I use Soundhound. I can play a song at an extremely low volume and the input meter on Soundhound is always completely maxed out. If the song is at a normal volume, it often won't be able to detect which sound it is because it must be coming in too loudly. So I have to turn the volume way down and try again.
Is this not a normal thing on the HTC Inspire? Has no one noticed this? Or am I having some sort of hardware problem?
Can anyone think of a way to fix it, such as a mic input level adjust?
Thanks.

I exchanged my phone 3 times at ATT because of cell signal and call quality to later find out they are working on the towers in my area - so they say. I had 3-4 bars of service about 2 months ago and now i'm down to 1-2.
In the end, I threatened to switch to verizon and ended up walking out of the store with a free microcell. - I've also been on a ATT Premier Business Acct. for the past 5 years - so that might of helped.
Call quality on the Microcell is superb. Some of my text messages don't want to go out the first time and I have to resend but other then that its pretty good.

- Also, depending on your ROM, Radio, RIL combination - you may have the wrong Radio for the ROM you are using. I had a few different ROMS installed and the radio provided clear call quality on my end but on receiving end they stated that there was a echo. I switched radios and flashed the appropriate RIL and the problem went away.

The mic for the speaker phone is on the back.. when you use the speakerphone, you have to talk to the back of your phone.. not the bottom.. if you talk to the bottom mic they wont be able to hear you. This has been talked about on these boards countless times. search

Speaker buzzing noise

Does anyone have a problem where the earpiece makes a buzzing or rather high pitch noise when the volume is loud on a call
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

I have the same problem on a galaxy s 2.
it is random on calls. not sure if its a signal problem or rather a blown ear speaker. irritating at best, thinking what should I do with it now.

I'm getting that too on the European version of the Nexus S - I9023... ButI don't know if it's a hardware issue or a software issue...

.... me too....
My device NEXUS 9020T has been sent to the assistance for warranty, but when they sent it back the noise was still there .... even replaceing pieces (I don't know which ones...
Is there any the solution?
The noise is random

Didi you take it to the service center for this specific issue or for something else ? What did they say about the issue ?
I'm beginning to become obsessed with this issue, so for the past 2 days I've been listening carefully to that noise and it sounds to me that it's not the speaker that's making the noise, but it's like the noise is coming from the phones housing...It's like something's vibrating when the speaker reaches a high pitch sound...
Also, I've been trying to see if my friends have this issue also on other Nexus S and Galaxy S (since it's the same hardware - with some extras ) phones, but this doesn't happen on their phones, however the volume on their phones is a lot lower than mine.

I spoke today with a guy that fixes phones for a living and he told me that the issue is the filter from the earpiece. The phone might've suffered a bump at the store when the people there handled it and that messed with the filter. He said that I can take it to the Samsung service to get it fixed or I can leave it like this... He said it doesn't get worst in time if the issue doesn't get resolved...

this happens on and off with my Nexus S 4g...it drives me insane!!!
I did notice one thing. If I hold the phone kind of tightly and squeeze the backplate to the phone it doesn't make the noise or it makes it less noticeable.

ok.... I do not remember what they have replaced, but i sent them my nexus s i9020T only for the buzzing noise.
They returned me with the same bug.... I've noticed, that when the buzz is in it, little tap on the back of the NEXUS and the noise go away .... it seems....
it could be that it is due for other components not well fixed to the chassis?
In september I will sent my nexus to them but I hope to read here the fix ... I had to wait "only" 45 days after sent my nexus to have it again on my hands

sorry to hear that.
I actually went to the samsung service centre some time ago, and the technician actually said that its normal to him. >_>
He put in some codes at the dialer and said something in the mic and it played the same words, (I ask him for the codes but he didnt want to give it to me) it did the exact loud buzzing sound from the in-ear speaker. I told him THATs the PROBLEM, but he was like thats normal man, if your speaker's blown, you would hear worse than that. He said he had to order a new speaker to have it "fixed" if I insist.
In the end I didnt leave the phone for the fix, thought to myself if I really can't stand it anymore I'll come back and get the speaker replaced or something.
so far I only had 2 friends that had the same problem. the other 3 friends has no such problem.

are there any news about the issue?

guys, I brought back my cell phone for assistance to fix the problem never repaired today! I inform you on his return

I sent my phone in for repair because my camera had a problem and I wanted to see if they could give me a stirdier volume button and fix my buzzing earpiece. The camera was fixed but nothing else. I think I'm calling later today to see if they can take another look at it. My cheaper lg optimus t doesn't have these problems so it's frustrating to see this phone haveso many problems.

Please update us if you can, what fixed your problem. Thanks.

ok I got back my phone (SGS2 internaltion version) from Samsung Service Centre, after a second persuasion they changed the front panel (whole LCD including the front speaker, not sure if the back speaker too, I don't know the structure of the phone).
And now, it's solved!! NO MORE BUZZING when making/receiving calls!
Definitely go ask for an exchange or a change of your panel guys! It's a HARDWARE ISSUE.

i still haven't sent mine in but after hearing that there is a REAL solution could you please tell me everything i should tell the person i talk to from samsung. i just hope they don't ignore the problem a second time and give me the phone back without doing anything to fix the problem.

I dialed a toll free line and let the engineer listen to the buzz, he seemed to be able to make out the buzz too. He said that it could be the glue used on the front speaker. I don't really understand how that would affect it.
But when I took back the phone and asked what was the issue, the same engineer informed that he couldn't actually find the problem, but he just changed the front panel with the speaker. I guess I was pretty insistent (the phone was still under warranty) and I even borrowed another dude's SGS2 for comparison (he was in another counter), everyone was staring at us.
Please note that I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S 2, the structure might be a little bit different, but from my search it seems samsung phones has the same buzzing with some the batches of Nexus S and SGS2.

[Q] Dodgy mic when in call.

My gf has been complaining ever since I got this phone that she cant hear me when I'm talking and that I sound all muffled. Been searching around on here and google and found a few others with this issue...Is this with everyone's device?! Or is it only a few that are having this issue?! I dont want to go back to my s4 I was hoping to sell it this week!!
RMA looks like it will take a few weeks too, but if all of them are like this..

I am also having this problem. Friends complain of low/soft voice. Zero problems on speaker, video recordings, and inline mic. Maybe a software issue?

Can you try covering the microphone on the top of the phone (maybe with your finger) while your on the call and see it she hears you any better?
I think the noise cancelling mic may be causing issues for some of us. Let me know.

Right so I left myself loads of voicemails.
Putting some bluetack on the noice cancellation mic does make all the difference in the world!
N/C Covered up:
Test 1: Speak normally on the phone Result: Can hear fine
Test 2: Speak with the phone a little away from my face (not on loudspeaker): Still hear fine
N/C Uncovered:
Test 1: Speak normally on the phone Result: Can hear okay
Test 2: Speak with the phone a little away from my face (not on loudspeaker): Cant hear anything very very faint
Test 3: Speak with the phone on loudspeaker Result: Can hear fine.

I made a thread a few days ago with mic concerns too but only when I was taking on speakerphone... I'm assuming it has something to do with noise cancelation
I was driving on the freeway today and talking on the phone with the speaker phone setting on, and the other person kept saying it sounded like I was getting disconnected. However, when I was at a stop or driving slower (without much background noise) it was fine.
Has anyone else ran into this issue? Or any issue using the speaker phone for phone calls?
Talking on the phone through the earpiece worked fine.
I'm trying to figure out if this is a hardware issue so I can get an exchange.

Speaking on the phone headset is fine for me, unless i move a little away from the mic, so if im not holding the phone directly to my cheek it starts to get quiet and cut up! I tried factory reset, removing all mods, kernel still seems the same. Its really annoying bcuase any slight movement away from my face and I get complaints from the other end saying they cant hear me! Spoke to google and they said just send it back, but im willing to pay £350 and wait 3 weeks for a new handset if they dont have stock..Im short on cash right now!

I don't think you'll have any luck with a replacement. In other threads I noted that I had this same issue with the Galaxy S3 and a replacement didn't make any difference. I think it's just the tone/pitch of some voices that get seen as background noise. Anyway, on the S3 someone pointed me to a setting to turn off noise reduction and that fixed my problem. I don't think the N5 has such a setting.

I never had it with the S4 either. I had one of the first international S3s. I flashed alot of ROMs and at some point I stopped having to change the setting, so it must have been fixed in an updated ROM.

Well, I just increased my overdraft to cover the cost of the replacement while I sell my s4, I really cant go back to it...this phone is t fast to leave. Im on the phone to google now for a replacement just to test it..make me feel better that it may just be software

I've also been getting complaints from my wife about barely hearing me sometimes. I then called for an RMA and ironically, I was talking to Google Support using the N5 and the conversation went without a hitch. I still followed through with the RMA purchase but will continue to test my N5 and see if this problem persists. I can cancel the order within the next couple of days if I find that my N5 is fine, or if it is shipped before I can cancel, then I will just return the new one, or keep it for my wife, or sell it for a small profit. I hope that it's just my wife's hearing cuz I really love this phone.

I fixed it for myself by editing build.prop.
I changed persist.audio.fluence.voicecall=true to false.
That disabled the noise cancellation for normal calls.
The fix for those without root would be to cover the secondary mic on the top of the phone I guess.

I've been using the phone for a couple of days and all calls have sounded perfect, but today I finally talked to my wife with her new N5 and my N5 and I have to tell you it sounds horrible. The mic on these on the other side sounds dull and low. I hope this gets fixed with a software update. How is the fix with the build props working for you guys. I'm tempted on trying it out. I could hardly hear my wife, (maybe that's a good thing).

The mic on these on the other side sounds dull and low. I hope this gets fixed with a software update. How is the fix with the build props working for you guys. I'm tempted on trying it out. I could hardly hear my wife, (maybe that's a good thing).

I can tell you my Gf can hear me better now.. Seems like the mic is now over sensitive now though with noise cancellation turned off
