Very bad sound-quality during calls - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey,
2 weeks ago, my oneplus started to have a very very sound-quality in telefon-calls. I can hear my opponent perfectly, but my partner hears me like "robot".. My voice is very unclear...
The strange thing is, that everything seems ok when I record a memo in the soundrecorder app. So the microfone must be ok.
I did severall factory-resets.. but nothing helps.
any suggestions?
thx

Could be your carrier/signal. This happens to me when I am in an area with low signal strength, especially the robot voice.

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

It would help A LOT if you explained WHAT the problem is rather then saying there is a problem...... don't even know what your issue is?
for me, this works fine.
say: OK GOOGLE
say: Call ********
Phone will call ....
What's the issue?

LOL still upset...the voice dialer while paired by bluetooth using it my car with my Kenwood Navigation head unit DNX890HD. It just does not work well at all. It misses names, can`t find names that are in my contacts, adds digits on number dial....etc Contacts that S voice (on my Samsung Galaxy S4) would call with no issues what so ever do not work at all. It is poor at best. The issue is with the voice dialer over Bluetooth in the car...Ok Google now works just fine.
So anything I can do to get better results or another app to give me better results.
Hope that helps and adds more meat to the subject.

It might be a kenwood related issue, It is working perfectly with the factory deck in my car.

This sounds obvious but I thought i'd throw it out there anyways... have you gone into the settings and checked off the box that tells it to work through the bluetooth headset? It may just be using the mic on the phone which is why it's messing up so bad.

Yup it is activated...still the $hits...trying a app called klets, will see if that is any better. Do not mind paying for one if it works!!

Wish I could help, but in my experience, Google's voice recognition is one of if not the best voice recognition software out there. I've used "OK Google" few times and few more times as a test and compared to others, it's excellent.
could be a possibility your BT mic just isn't picking it up..or isnt close enough.
How does it perform without bluetooth?
In Google now settings, go to voice and check Bluetooth headset. Google Now will now be used instead of the dated "voice dailer."

I agree on its own in Google now it is really good...but hooked up to my Nav unit and it is the voice dialer which I think is different to Google now in some aspects...is the $hits. Klets works I have bought it and it does what Svoice dos on SGS4...I am happier now, just wished the built in one worked!!

I will try that, thought I did but was rushed. So when hooked to bluetooth then the screen will always have to stay on or activate when I press on the phone button on the nav unit? Will give it a try.
Klets works fine, but would love to get google now...

Same here...using Dodge/Chrysler's UConnect and I haven't had a single problem save for the same problem with some of my contacts not being able to be dialed using "Name, Home". It consistently boots me to that person's mobile number. That might be a google related issue or something else. Using numbers only hasn't given me any problems.
So here is my dilemma, Google now works when the phone is unlocked and through the blue tooth on the nav unit with ok google...when I press the telephone button on the nav unit it then defaults to either google voice dialer (the old crappy one) or klets with the always or just once options.
So it works sort of.....

I couldn't get the phone voice dialer or my old standby voice dialer called cyberon to work reliably on the N5 and my sony mw600 bluetooth headset. Cyberon worked fairly reliably on my old galaxy nexus but not on the N5.
I really thought that there was a bug in the N5 kitkat which would hose any bluetooth voice dialer. At your suggestion I just loaded klets and wow, it seems to work wonderfully!
I need some time with it but I am very encouraged. Caanda45 I can't thank you enough for your remarks

NP glad it worked...I have ended up getting rid of my N5 but klets is a pretty good app. Any app that will let you try it free for 7 days is a good app in my books...

When I tried ok google for dialing I seem to recall there was no verification. I don't think I could rate a voice dialer as excellent without verification. I really don't want an old girlfriend asking me why I was calling her.

agreed. which phone did you settle on? Was it the voice dialing that caused you to switch?

I didn't say voice dialer was excellent.. I said the voice recognition was excellent.
As for verification, there is no "yes" "no" verification but there is a few second delay before it places a call, during which you can cancel if that's not the number you wanna dial.

ok, I'll acknowledge your statement about the voice recognition. I just tried playing with the voice calling feature again to refresh my memory.
Many times ok google wasn't picked up. There is no voice verification yes/no as you stated and no repeat of who it was about to call. Yes there is a delay where you could kill it with touch but I saw no way to kill it with a voice command once it commenced. Having to kill it with touch completely misses the point of voice dialing.
While the name it picks seems to be accurate that's about the only useful thing I can say about it. Even then often it would pull the correct name but drop the "call" part of the command and instead do a default web search on the name.
IMO, the google now voice dialer is cute but practically useless as a serious voice dialing application.

Believe it or not I got a Moto x and the notifications and touch less controls are outstanding!!! Solid phone, better speaker, no washed out picture off axis etc....The N5 is a powerhouse but as with most LG products, cheapo plastic....My S4 was better constructed.....just my opinion though...

It uses the Google system not the old google crappy voice dialer but the new one that is in the nexus 5...so basically google now..works really well even when I press the phone button on the nav system it defaults to google now through the nav mic. My N5 would use the crappy old google voice dialer until I used klets. All in all happy that I got rid of the N5.

No sound occasionally when making a call

I have a Galaxy S5 Active and have recently started having a problem. Occasionally when I dial a number, no sound will be output even though the phone is making the call, and the timer at the top corner counts as if the call is working. I'd say it does this about 1 out of 5 calls, I have to hang up and call back and it will work fine. I am not positive, but I think this may have started with the recent 4.4.4 update. I really dont want to restore my phone if not necessary.. anybody heard of this issue?

Maybe it's the front ear speaker issue or network connectivity problem.
Next time you get this problem, see if the loudspeaker option helps to find if the front ear speaker is damaged

I have tried this and there is still no sound even in loud speaker mode. I have also verified that other caller cannot hear me also
I think this issue is with Google play services... Try to search on xda or Google about it. I had read somewhere about it
Tried clearing cache of google play services like suggested in another thread.. but it didnt help
I should also mention that the problem only occurs when I am the one making the call, never when I receive a call

If you have root then try to disable google play services and other Google apps. And check if problem occurs in 2-3 days.

Problems with outgoing call quality

Recently I've been having a lot of intermittent issues with the quality of the calls on my oneplus one. People keep telling me they can't hear me well or they hear me voice all chopped up.
I hear people on the other side of the line flawlessly.
This seems to happen at no particular location. Even though at work my reception is really bad it also seems to happen while I'm driving.
For what it's worth, I can't recall one time that def told me one time when wifi but I wouldn't bet on this.
Currently running CM 12.1 nightly 20150504. Stock Kernel
Had anybody experienced this and had been able to solve it? Is pretty frustrating.
I am also facing same problem if any has solution
kindly help
Yes same problem for me. After reboot everything goes well for some time
Envoyé de mon A0001 en utilisant Tapatalk
I agree with all u. Even I am facing same issue. But Try ColorOS, MIUI, CM11. These ROMs gave me good network.
Problem is those are KK OS and most of the cases I am facing Google Services Keep Awake.
In LL, try Exodus, AICP. These 2 was good but not like the OS I have mentioned at top.
have you guys checked audio effects. See what have you checked off because I read that may be an issue. I also had a friend with the same problem and that solved it for him. He was on stock
I had the same problem following replacing a broken screen. Thought it was something I had done replacing the screen. The phone upgraded to 12.1-YOG4PAS1NO when I turned it on. Phone calls to some people were garbled at there end, call reception was good at my end. OK google worked, using the audio recorder App worked perfectly. I went to mobile network setting and changed preferred network type to LTE (recommend) and clear call quality has returned for three numbers that I tested it on. Not sure why that network type had changed. Not sure if this is just a coincidence. Will test further during the weekend.
I found somewhere that suggested it was something wrong with the noise cancelation and of you put your finger over the microphone on the back by the camera it should help. Haven't tried covering the mic yet, but noticed that if I'm somewhere a little louder then I don't have issues and when I am somewhere quiet I tend to get complaints, which leads me to believe it is something to do with the noise cancelation
---------- Post added at 05:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:58 AM ----------
Also just found where it suggests disabling "OK Google" from any screen feature. Just disabled it and waiting for someone to call me
I, I desactivated OK google on every screen; after that the sound was perfect on all my outgoing calls
"Ok Google" deactivation from every screen solved the problem for me. Check this out - http://forums.androidcentral.com/lg-g3/504150-call-quality-has-suddenly-tanked-2.html this is where I got the clue to do this.
I had the same problem and indeed this seem to have solved it! So far so good...
I used this fix and according to a few people they have no issues hearing me anymore. And I also still have Google Now on all screens, so that's nice.

Problem with one of the microphones - P20, EML-L29 4GB, 128GB.

Hello guys! I have EML-L29.
I have strange problem with one of the mics - the one which is closer to the earpiece, top of the phone. So the problem is that the mic is very quiet - i think its responsible for when you change to loudspeaker, when you have phone call or viber, whatsup etc call, video call on loudspeaker. So i have to speak very close and quite loudly so that the person can hear me.
The strange thing is that it works normally when i say OK Google and Hey google. If I say this things, no matter how loud, i can tell them very quetly and the mic still pick up the voice, then i can ask Assistant what i want and again the mic picks everything how it should. But when i try manully to voice search, or manully to ask Assistant something, againt the mic brokes and can't pick up my voice normally, i have to be very close to it and speak very loudly.
I had this problem with EMUI9, updated to EMUI10, stil got it, fully factory reseted it, still no change.
For what i searched on the net i saw that the top mic is part of the motherboard, so its pretty much no point of changing it.. the bottom mic is on its own board, so its easy job.
Still i dont know if its hardware or software issue. Its very strange, normally it dont work, but when voice call the Google Assistant it starts working as it should.
I will be very grateful if someone knows anything about this or some tips on how i can deal with it
Thank you!
