hello, I'm having trouble with call volume on my S8+ Korean model. All other sounds are normal but call volume is like a whisper. Normal phone calls and WhatsApp calls are impossible to hear, I have to turn on the speaker or connect headphone every time I want to make a call.
Im using Batman rom without any sound mods.
I've tried googling and asking around but non seems to have this problem. I was thinking it was a defective earpiece speaker but there is still sound.
Anyone has any idea, please advise.
P/s: I've also tried resetting
This may seem simplistic but I would go back to the stock ROM and if the issues goes away you know the problem is with the ROM, if not then the issue is with the phone, probably.
I have the same problem on stock. Think it happened after last update and that's a while ago now. See there are a lot of people with the same problem at the samsung forum. Still no fix though :/
Maybe there is a way to fix it if we root? Force the speaker levels up or something.

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.
Hello Everyone,
I have been using HTC Sensation for a good 3 months and no problem at all so far. The phone is rooed and uisng Insertcoin 2.4.1 Rom. 3 days ago while in a call, the sound faded away and since then there is some times sound coming from the ear piece sometimes not. Even the call starts succesfully loud and suddenly sound disappears. I have tried everything i know, reflashing, trying another Rom, formatting the SD card and not installing any software etc...During the call, i can communicate if i turn the speaker on or plug in the earphones. I belive that there is a bug that commands the phone to shut the earpiece and divert the sound either to speaker or the earphones.
Anyone ever has/had this kind of problem?
Thanks in advance!

Im having the same Problem, but i observed that the sound doesn't come back randomly, the earpiece speaker seems to shutdown a while after the display gets turned off due to the proximity sensor. I tried different ROMs, and got the same result, i guess it's a hardware problem. Would you tell me, if you get the exact same Problem, meaning you check if sound disappears when you're having it close to the head?
Thank you
Hi Guys -
Black Nexus 5. It has been great in everything except placing and receiving calls. I don't use a headset just the phone directly. But whenever I call someone, people tell me that they can barely hear me. To fix that I literally have to move my mouth right next to the microphone and even then the voice is barely ok. I almost have to shout. People tell me that I sounded much louder on my own phone.
Also while hearing people on the phone the voice is too low. I use the volume control app and have the IN CALL volume on FULL. 5/5. Still I barely hear the other person and if it's noisy outside I cannot. Contrast to my previous phone in which I had to go down to 50% volume otherwise it was too loud.
Is this a defective unit? A hardware issue? Do I need to ask Google for replacement? I am loath to do that since the phone has been amazing in everything else. It's fast as hell and the battery life is super.
I wanted to know if any one has the same problem and whether it might be fixed with a software update or is it just a hardware issue and something wrong with my phone?
Thanks in advance.
Idem for me !
Hi,
I've the same problem with my Nexus 5. I think that it's a software problem because, when I put the speaker on, the problem is resolved. I think that it's due to 2 microphones and noise cancelation... Our voice is canceled ! I hope that Google is awared of that problem and will delivered a fix quickely. Specially that there is another problem with speaker that sometimes sizzles a lot ! I think that i'm going to buy a headset in the meantime. That's really a shame : a new phone that we cannot use to phone ! Even if yes for the other thinks Nexus 5 is great.
Are they other people that are the same problem ? How can we open a case in Google ? How they know that there is really something to fix ?
Thanks,

Did you ask for an RMA? If so, what is the status?
I have the same issue and google has promised an RMA.
Its quite a pain not to have a phone for a week.

I don't think a replacement will help.
There are several other threads already
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2518840
exactly the same here... already some news what to do?
This issue seems to have become worse with the 4.2.2 update. The in-call volume is very very low. It's impossible for me to hear other people unless I am in a quiet room (the volume is maxed out). I recall with the stock 4.4.0 - the call volume was not that low.
For whatever reason, using a headset everything is fine. So for phone calls, Nexus 5 is only usable if I use a headset. It's impossible with the earpiece.
Anyone else having a problem with low in call volume? I'm wondering whether it's my specific phone. Everything else is perfect, and the battery life is insanely good. Wondering whether I should RMA.
I too am having this problem. It wasn't like this before the update but outside I can barely hear the other side. I don't make a lot of calls tbh but I remember shortly after I bought it making a call to another N5 and thinking how great it sounded.
Now it's hard to use.
I am having the same issue some days back. They Have replaced with new one..No issues so far..

Hi - did you do anything. I am wondering whether RMA helps in such a case.
I haven't done anything with mine yet I was hoping to compare it to a friends N5 first.
I might try and contact Google.

[Q] In-call mic & speaker dead on stock device, can only make calls with Bluetooth
Anyone else encountered this problem? It's NOT a volume issue, it's an 'in-call speaker and mic not working at all' issue. About two months ago my phone calls completely cut out all in-call sound, UNLESS I use a Bluetooth headset, in which case I can talk and hear just fine. When it first went out, I was able to use the mic and in-call speaker as long as I put it in speakerphone mode, but after a few weeks, that cut out, too. It will answer the call...I just can't communicate without BT engaged. Factory reset and other known "try this first" solutions have been dead-ends.
The OTA to KitKat didn't change or help anything in regard to this problem, and the same problem persists in the same fashion. I am currently still stock...after modding my M7 on TMO repeatedly, when I switched to Verizon and got an M8, I resolved to stick with stock and try to appreciate getting the OTAs before the other carriers. All well and good--until your in-call sounds bugs out and renders your device useless as a phone unless you put your BT earpiece in first.
I'm curious if this is a widely known problem, as I couldn't find evidence of it being common, but wasn't sure if I was just looking in the wrong place or using the wrong search terms. If so, is there a decent fix, or did VZ just sell me a lemon? If there's not a decent solution, would Factory Reset, unlock, and flashing TWRP and a good aftermarket ROM, say CM, cause this problem to be fixed?
Just figured I'd ask the hive before I dig into it myself and end up pissing away the rest of my weekend on it. Cheers and thanks!
Hello.
I've gotten pretty frustrated with using my 3a for a while now regarding this specific issue, the call volume is just always super low and makes using the default phone app unbearable because I can hardly hear the other person, it is ALWAYS at max volume btw.
I just genuinely do not understand why the call volume is so low whilst the other volumes (media, alarms, etc) don't seem to have this issue and I can even get additional apps to boost the volume for those- but not the call volume.
It seems to have gotten worse just several days ago when some liquid hit the grill , so now instead of it sounding like someone is 3 feet away from the phone, it just sounds like 6 feet away. But even with this situation, it did NOTHING to my other volume settings.
Is there anything I can do to improve the loudness at all without depending on headphones? I would prefer having the phone on my ear , especially since calls on headphones literally echo whatever gets picked up on my microphone back to me I just honestly hate it.
Get a replacement phone. That's not normal. My call volume gets loud.

Is that really the only possible solution here...?
Everything else is fine...I just cannot find a way to make the call volume louder, just seems like Im stuck putting it on speakers or using headphones at the moment.
