I read the SGS2 has noise cancellation?
Can anybody confirm if this uses the dual microphone approach as used in the Nexus and
some noise cancelling headsets?
If it does, I'm guessing there should be an additional microphone located away from the 'proper' microphone.
Thanks

Yes it does have noise cancellation. The second mic looks like it's at the top next to the headphone socket.
can anyone comment on the in-call quality with the noise canellation? the nexus s has very bad call audio in noisy environments. my nexus one call quality is superb with the second mic.
is the SGS2 very good in this regard?
He talks about call quality and it sounds very good.

Does it also reduce non-stationary background noise ?
Is this noise cancelling mic used as one of the stereo mic's when recording video do you know?
Does anyone else's noise cancelling mic seem to turn itself off? Every time i make a call,the screen shows noise reduction off even though its enabled,i switch it back on but when i make a call again its off.
Can anyone see if this is the case on there S2 to see if its a fault or a bug. Thanks.

When do you see that message? Is it when the other end answers?
Cant say I have noticed it.
Does it only happen on speaker phone or BT headset?
It happens when the other person answers,a squiggly icon appears on the left. If u press the menu button you can select to turn it off or on.

As I previously said, are you using speaker or a headset?
Or is this just a regular call, ie you hold the phone to the side of your head?
Oh, and where are the settings for noise cancellation?
thanks
its just a regular call mate.

When your on a call press the menu button and the option to turn noise cancellation on/off is there.
I can confirm I get the same
If you've turned it on while on a call then disconnected that call and make another call is it still on or has it turned off again? Mine always switches off..
Yep thats what I get
Do you think thats a fault, its a bit annoying that you have to turn it on every time you make a call..
Unless the icon with the line through the sound wave actually means that its cancelling noise?

People complain that they have problem hearing me in a call. My friends, who also has a GSII, experiences the same thing. Anyone else? Is there an app that can adjust the mic-level?
Same problem here. I was talking in my regular volume to my girlfriend and she said she's having hard time hearing me.
I wonder if this could be an issue with the Scandinavian models? I see that you're located in Finland, and I am in Norway. I've searched both here and through Google, and haven't found any others saying they have experienced it.
Any solution to this?

Hello hpe,
Indeed many people have this same problem, and should not be ignored since talking in the phone is the most important use of the phone. For me my volume is sooooooo low that it is nowhere near acceptable volume when increased to the max. I can't hear them, they cant hear me, its annoying.
here are three options might want to try:
A) Enter service mode by typing below code on your dialer :
*#*#197328640#*#*
click the following:
[5] AUDIO
[1] NB (VOICE CALL)
Choose Handset, headset, Speaker (which ever you want higher volume)
[1] VOLUME
[1] SRC Speech RX Volume
Change default values and higher the values any number of your choosing, here is an example:
[0]0_lvl : 68
[1]1_lvl : 72
[2]2_lvl : 76
[3]3_lvl : 80
[4]4_lvl : 84
[5]5_lvl : 88 Higher these values to until hear volume improvement.
Can also edit the values from:
[2]DST I2S1 TX Volume
[3]SRC I2S1 RX Volume: 100
[4]DST Speech TX Volume: 94
This is Samsung volume setting, worked for several people but sadly only worked 2 times for me and values keep resetting for me (doesn't mean for you, so give it a try) Also this is based on STOCK firmware.
B) the second thing you might to try is app called Volume+:
http://androidaudiohacks.com/home/volume-gingerbread/download
This app guarantees it higher the volume without the need of touching its default settings, BUT huge drawback it highers everything: Headset, speaker and Bluetooth EXCEPT HANDSET which is the most important :-(
(I also downloaded many volume increase apps, but Volume+ was the only one got the job done for everything but handset)
C) Lastly get GOOGLE VOICE app (create a GV account if you don't have one)
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.google.android.apps.googlevoice&feature=search_result
just by installing Google and logging on, every time you make a call, your calls get forwarded through Google voice and volume levels become acceptable in ALL HANDSET, HEADSET, SPEAKER, BLUETOOTH (just like phone should of have been) (this what i personally use fix my volume issues)
Hope one of these work for you.
try turning off the noise cancellation during a call, via the menu button i think.
FYI other threads posted say some people have this low mic issue as well. so youre not alone.

During a call on the call screen, press the menu button and 'turn noise reduction off'. Thats it.

Wow, thanks all! So many great answers. I'll try to disable Noise Reduction, and if that doesn't work I'll try all the great suggestions you gave Extreme184X.
Tell us what worked for you, your solution might someone else with this problem.
Some people have the Galaxy S2 with screen protector that completely protects and covers the entire phone (front, back, sides) resulting in low volume because all mics and speakers are covered.
I can't believe this is still a problem with Samsungs. My wife and I both had Tocco's (don't laugh) and sent them back for this very reason. Now we've purchased GS2, delivery date 02/06/11 and i'm reading about this reoccurring issue.
I turned of noise cancelling, and have had no complaints so far.

Many saying Turn off Noise reduction.Do I need to Click Turn Off on every call or just Once? (Waiting for Galaxy S II ordered it in Lets Buy)
Needs to be turned off each time. Totally annoying.

I got the same problem! Everyone says they hearing me if im under water.
But when i call someone there is no option for noise reduction!
Please help.
Press the menu-button (lower left corner of the screen) during a phone call.
Unfortunately it needs to be disabled for each call. Annoying.
Is there any way to make the incall voice louder through headphone as I notice a significant reduction in the volume in call compared to music go example.

Just for clarification, do you mean "louder" and "compared" ?
Either way I'm not sure, but replacing those makes the question make more sense to me
And if the above assumption is correct, I take it you have altered the volumes individually in settings and are still not happy (voice. media etc) ?
You got me right, I was using swype and I didn't review it.
I have checked the sound settings and it is on maximum, still incall quality is very bad.
I used swype to write this post though.

I have experienced quality issues, but I put it down to network signal.
Hi

OK, when in a call, and you push up-volume, does this alter the in-call-headset-volume?
Not tried it, just guessing
No, it says the volume is at maximum

Maybe try with NON-Microphone headset then and see if it's any different. I take it your using stock headphones?
Just a theory but maybe there is a problem with the power flow when it enables the 3rd jack socked band for using the microphone.
Whenever i Call someone, or respond to a call there is a problem while talking.
There is some kind of disturbance, but when i call talk through headset or loud speaker, it is alright then.
And talking through phone directly(No loud speaker or headset), there is a sign on the screen :S
Please help!
I think that is the noise reduction symbol. Next time, during a call hit the menu button and you will see the noise reduction option.
It almost seems like you have it set to off by default. What rom are you on?
I'm asking because many people, including myself would also like to have nr turned off. With it on and using a case, it can cause echo in the call. Its annoying having to do it manually every time.

I have a really bad sound echo during call at the receiver side. No matter what I use: messenger or hangout. Is there any way to fix this somehow?
I have stock 6.01 android rom.
There is no problem with my Nexus 5 with the same android version.
Do you have a case on it? If you do, take the case off and try again.

I tried, but the problem still persist. I tried on the same network, the receiver hears himself/herself during the call and my voice quality is poor and low volume.
I had the same problem once on a different device, but that problem solved somehow. Maybe it's just a setting problem.
I think I found a fix for this. I found out this is happening if the speaker volume is quite high, if I reduce it the echo stops and there is no complaint about my voice quality.
Any advice what can cause this? Noise cancellation?

Boomsound is your answer. I noticed this when I use hangouts. When I plug my earphones in, the receiver can't hear the echo anymore. When the speakers are loud, even the microphone can hear the output.
Hi
I have Xperia Z2 D6503,M rooted.
Recently i've been facing an annoying problem which is when someone calls me or i call them the other part can't hear me well but when i use speaker they can hear me very clearly.
can anyone tell me the problem?
Hi,
you may try to turn the Microphone noise suppression off in the call settings.
I faced similar issue, it was cutting off silent tones of voice.

Pretty sure you need MM build 575 for that feature. It's not in 570.

@mascox14, Although the settings are somewhat related accessories, you tried to change the microphone sensitivity from there?
Settings / Sound and Notifications/ Accessory settings / Mic sensitivity
Look at what value is pre-made and test after that the microphone in the Settings / About phone / Diagnostics
Change it to High level and test again in service menu for results.
Will was surprised by the difference in the test.
Set mic equalizer to "bright" and see if that helps. I know equalizer is not supposed to be related to the voice sent but it helped for me.
