I have recently updated my S7 to a new Android Nougat (7.0) version. It was an official update from Samsung. After recieving the update I noticed that the audio coming from the phone speaker (not loud speaker) is now have a metalic rambling tone while calling or talking to someone. It is very noticable and extreamly anoying.
If I switch to bluetooth or loud speaker the metalic tone disapears
Kindly suggest a solution

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.
After .77 update on my Z3 D6603 when phone is ringing sound only comes out on one speaker am I the only one with this issue?

It never came out of both...
I think it has and it was much louder...now notification is good but ringtone...
You really don't want ring tone coming from the top speaker. If a new call came in before you lowered the phone from your ear a loud ring tone could damage your hearing. That's why phones have always used the rear speaker for ringing instead of the earpiece speaker.
I recently successfully rooted my phone for the first time and then installed a ROM which looked like it suited me.
All has been going well until I tried to make call tonight and this extremely loud, high pitched scrambling sound came out of the speaker.
I am on 6.0.1 on a Galaxy S6. I am using the latest Twisted Sixx ROM.
I feel like it has something to do with the ROM as calls from the phone previously have been perfect.
Anyone had a similar issue?
Hi everyone,
I bought a galaxy s6 Edge from gumtree (I didn't check etc I know I'm an *****)
On a phone call there is static and strange sounds coming through. I can hear the other person but there is high pitch ringing and it's quite annoying and causes headache.
Also, when I plug in headphones to listen to podcast etc there is very loud static and strange noises also.
The speaker works fine like when I have call on speaker phone
any ideas on what I could do would be much appreciated [IMG]
I hope it's a software problem but I doubt it [IMG]
Hi all, I recently picked up a new HTC u11 (sprint) and having one issue that stands out. When I pair the phone to my car (2016 subaru crosstrek) and a portable speaker, I can't this static, unclear sound quality. For example, if there is a silent part in the sound, I hear "background" static noise, almost like tuning into a radiostation that doesn't get reception. The phone is fully up to date. Has anyone experienced this issue before?
