Hi guys,
First of all: thanks to all the developers who are putting out these great 4.4 ROMs for our device. Sadly, i can't use any of them because of the in call distortion bug, which is well known by now.
Just so i know what the changes are of a fix, nothing more: Could someone tell me if developers are working on a solution? I haven't heard anything the last months, so i was wondering if this bug will be fixed, especially since not everyone faces it and i can understand if devs don't have it high on their priority list. Is it a work in progress, or is this bug collecting dust on a shelf?
Thanks!
can you please explain the bug in more detail?
Noise-cancellation? Echo? Because of theese (and hardcoded in-call volume) i am back on original software :-/ Again and again.
I like the tons of features, great GUI etc. But i'm still using this thing like a TELEPHONE
This bug has been discussed in detail. Some people face a distorted mic problem during a call. The other end of the line hears clipping audio, especially when I'm in a noisy environment. Seems like the microphone gain is set too high. On stock there is no problem.
But it seems like this bug is kinda set aside, so I know not to hope for a speedy solution, I guess.

Does anybody know if HTC has acknowledged the problem with poor sound quality when recording video on the Sensation? As in -- it's super loud and distorted even when recording in a relatively quiet environment? This has been the single most disappointing thing about this phone for me.
I have seen a couple of threads started about this but there is not much info out there that I've been able to dig up.
Does anybody have more information about the problem or know of anything that can be done to alleviate it? Even if there's a different video recording app someone can recommend, I'd be happy. (From what I've read it sounds like a software issue -- something with the default codec or volume level being borked. Hopefully it doesn't actually have anything to do with the mic itself.)
i read something recently which i cant post a link to, but which goes something like (excerpt) :
"After extensive testing, it is now clear that when phone noise suppression is ON, wrong mic is used. Using WebRTC Implementation always results in wrong mic used.
PLEASE have the microphone amplification level increased at least to 15 (instead of 10 as available now). At microphone amplification of 10, my voice through CSipSimple is still much weaker than that going through a normal voice call."
that when noise reduction is enabled many apps will use the wrong (near the ear) microphone on the infuse vs the correct (by your mouth) mic
i have seen alot of posts about the mic being too quiet on the infuse and have seen two solutions which as far as i know only work on a samsung GB type rom:
1. if you have voodoo sound install the control applet and change the recording environment preset to 'loud environment'
2. turn of noise reduction under settings->calls
these both help a little, but my question is :
1. is there really no way to just increase the infuse microphone amplification?
2. is there any way to verify ics based roms are using the correct microphone(s) for dialer, etc
3. is there any way to do similar tweaks to the mic like voodoo sound tweak and noise reduction, under an ics based rom?
ditching my infuse because of microphone issues, im the only person?!
ok so im still amazed at the level of development being put into the infuse and i think its wonderful and all but really, nobody is even remotely interested in addressing the known issues with the mic? this appears to be an issue with ics on the infuse using the wrong mic, i.e. the mic intended for noise reduction-- it's a huge issue, nobody can hear me talking on my phone unless i have my mouth less than one inch from the mic and literally YELL into it, i read posts about this constantly with the infuse and older galaxy phones running ICS-- so either nobody else is bothered by this, or nobody knows how to fix it? i'd just like someone to say to me "no you're wrong it uses the right mic and that's your personal issue" and throw out some random facts or something to back it up.... i've been messing with workarounds and tweaks and hacks to improve the mic volume and i'm not having any luck...
I am running Yuma-Uniporn ICS and have not experienced this problem. So I'm not sure that a blanket statement about it being an Infuse/ICS issue is correct...maybe I'm lucky
It could be a bad flash that a reflash might fix. What ICS ROM are you running? you might address this there in that thread to see if others have the same problem or the threads you saw this issue already discussed.

again, i'm not saying it isn't my phone, or even several people who own infuses with bad mics, spread around-- but this is with several different ics roms. in the gb roms, i think the difference was maybe some proprietary samsung drivers, because you could go into the dialer and enter several different diagnostic menus (it's covered somewhere in one of the galaxy or infuse forums), and get to a screen where you could control the audio input/output levels of the various interfaces, basically the same interfaces presented in ics -- headphone, bluetooth and speaker. through those menus you could set some non-persistent values like the mic input level.
voodoo sound gives you access to most of these values, but your only control over input seems to be an environment preset 'loud environment', 'noisy environment' etc, and hi-fi recording mode on/off. this is nice, but what needs to be adjusted is which mic is being used (there are two, used for digital noise reduction) there is a link which i can't post that details how the infuse has two mics and alot of apps pic the wrong mic for input.
i just wish there was some way to see which mic input an app is using... is there?
and in a perfect world, adjust the mic input level...
First, I LOVE my OnePlus. But, the speakerphone volume (and in call volume) is very low on mine (I've seen that some people's are fine and other not) and it's very difficult to get Google Now to recognize my commands.
So I have seen the threads that mention fixes to these two volume/mic issues:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/one...icrophone-ok-google-low-t2805568/post54140083
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/help/speakerphone-volume-low-calls-t2801938
And I'm wondering if anyone has tried them and had success? I saw a lot of people (but not all interestingly) had issues when attempting to use the fix for the microphone/google now low sensitivity.
I wanted to get some feedback before I try either of these as I'm "technologically challenged" so do not want to get myself in a position to have try to fix something I break.
Thanks

The volumes are plenty loud enough in XNPH25R, no complaints from the other end of my conversations. Earpiece, speakerphone, bluetooth all good. Dunno about Google+ since I don't use it.

Yeah, like I mentioned, some people's is fine, others not. Also, it's Google Now (not +), meaning voice commands (to call someone or open an app, etc. without touching the screen)
So basically to everyone who receives my call it sounds like rushing wind. I've tested multiple different things and it sounds the same. I even went into the phone configuration menu and ran a test recording on the primary mic and still the same tornado. For a short while, turning off the WiFi fixed the issue, but now it is on going thing. I have read around other Z forums and have read that recent android updates have caused over sensitive mic and audio issues.
Does anyone else have this issue?
Is this software or faulty hardware issue?
Does anyone have any fixes for this?
Is there some sort of setting I missed? (I have turned mic sensitivity down in settings but no change.

Disable noise cancelling option for call and see if that helps, I have not encountered this.

I appreciate the suggestion, but I already tried that and it didn't work. Thanks though.

Get a new one, because, I just got a replacement (due to light bleed), and even my old one never had any audio problems.
Hey guys,
i have been using EvoX for quite a while now and really like it. Except it has a bug which causes the volume in snapchat video recordings to become very quiet, leading to my snaps being inaudible.
This is not a hardware issue, as when i am calling or recording audio messages, everything is fine.
i switched to Pixel Experience today, only to find out that this rom also has the issue...
Is there any potentially good ROM without this bug? Or even better, a fix for every ROM?
Help is greatly appreciated.
