Bottom speaker enabled during call - ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers

Hi all,
so I am running OmniRom and during calls, the bottom speaker is now enabled even when I have the voice only set to the earpiece. On stock, this was not an issue.
Can anyone with a custom ROM tell me, if this is the same for her/him or maybe even tell me, how I can disable this?
Thanks,
abprie

It's been that way for me on stock for awhile now. Super annoying to switch to speaker and back to earpiece to fix. Only happens on incoming calls.

So a fix would be to shortly switch to speaker and then back? Will try.
Never had this on stock!

Yup. Every time I answer a call without Bluetooth or wired headphones, I have to tell people to hang on a minute while I do the toggle so the whole world doesn't hear them.

I'm on stock and the same thing happens to me. Switching to speaker and then off again fixes it. I wish it would answer normally though.

I also got noticed that any caller hears an echo of themselves now when they call me.

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

[Q] audio sometimes broken when on call

Hi, I got this problem that my phone sometimes outputs strange noise instead of the other's voice when on a call. It has happened with outgoing and ingoing calls. Right now I use official Cyanogenmod 10.1 ROM but it has happened before with others.
Has anyone else this issue as well? Can anyone help?
Maybe I'll try putting it on the speaker and see if it's still broken. And switch back and see if it's still broken then.
Thanks guys.

I have experienced that before as well. Good question on changing audio outputs to see if that resets it!

Oneplus One don't hear any sound while in a call.

While in a call the Call speaker doesn't give any sound. The other person can hear me without a problem. When I switch to the bottom speakers everything works fine. Is there any fix to this or is the top speaker completely dead? Thanks

Bad voicecall quality, no issues on when on speaker

Hi,
When making a phone call, the receiver of my call complaints that he almost can't hear what I'm saying. When I then switch to speaker, I can be heard fine. Isn't the phone using the same mic for both normal conversation and speaker phone?
Is there maybe an issue with noise reduction? I remember back with the Nexus phones, that the noise reduction could sometimes make a phone call difficult to hear.
(OnePlus 7 Pro on 9.5.11 and now also with 10)

Are you speaking directly into the mic? Is it noisy around you? Is it noisy around the other person? Are you yelling into the mic 1 cm away from it? Is it fine if you leave it off speaker but move the device further away?

Hi,
I have same issues with my phone. I have tried with both EU and international roms.
If someone have a solution I take it :good:
Similar issues here.
It's actually my biggest complaint with this device. Being on a Canadian carrier and thus not having VoLTE or WiFi probably isn't helping either.

I disabled VOLTE and Wifi and this seems to improve quality a little bit.

Sorry for the long delay......
- Yes, directly into the mic
- Not noisy on both sides, tested this today again with my son in our house. It was quiet
- Not yelling, just normal volume.
- Doesn't change when moving the phone away
To add, it seems that calling with WhatsApp voice is a little better and voice call through DUO is really good. Don't understand this.

After upgrading to Android 10, microphone no longer works for calling

I got my phone on Friday and upgraded it to Andriod 10 this morning, so I didn't have a chance to test if this was also an issue for Android 9. However, when I tried to make a call this afternoon, the other side can no longer hear me, while I can hear the other side just fine.
I tried switching some settings while calling and switching Speaker to be on is enough to get microphone back, then I can switch speaker back to off and use it normally. Rebooting the phone will cause the issue to reappear.
Trying to see if any of you are having the same issue.
I have the exact same issue. The mic works after I toggle the speaker, but another issue happens in subsequent calls... sound no longer comes out of the earpiece, only through the bottom speaker. It's such a bizarre bug.
My microphone works but my headphones don't work (no sound) when plugged into 3.5mm jack. Needed to talk via speakerphone or earpiece.
Seems they didn't fully test their calling on this first patch?
Music via 3.5mm works.
WW_17.1810.1910.68 seems to have fixed my issues.

Toggling the speakerphone seems to fix the audio coming out of the bottom speaker. A fix for the fix?
Is there any fix for this issue? I am facing the same problem, the phone speaker and microphone will not work during the call and playing music, but works fine if I toggle to speaker mode. Music is a problem, but works fine with headphone. Very strange.
I am running into same issue on Android 10 with latest updates. Toggling the speakerphone one and off fixes the problem for a while and the it comes back on. Third party VOIPs make calls with no issues.
Looking at Asus official forums - you can see the problem reported on a variety of models and I don't see a resolution anywhere. I got a bad feeling about this...

Are you on tmobile? They have noted in the forum that they have noted it with tmobile and are working on a solution.

Interesting - I'm on Mint Mobile which operates on the T-Mobile network. So maybe this affects me and their solution will address my issue. Thank you.
Having the same microphone problems on T-Mobile as well
