Disable Noise Cancellation?? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hiya guys. Yes i am the dumbass who dropped a dumbell onto the galaxy. Phone is now fixed .......moving on
Anyways i get complaints of an echo noise off the person on the recieving end everytime i use a protective case to cover the device, but if i disable noise cancellation everything works fine echo free.
MY QUESTION: is there a way of disabling noise cancellation differently rather than having to do it during a call everytime which can get rather annoying!
Thanks in advance

On mine, it stays disabled until/unless I re-enable it.

Hmmm thats strange.......

If you update to KG1 (2.3.4) you will have the option. Once you get on a call and its answered, the icon / option shows up.
Some confusion to whether if its OFF by default and you can turn it on OR its ON by default and you can turn it off.
Anyway, its there once you get on 2.3.4

didn't find the option in any where...

This is the only thing that bugs me about this fantastic phone!

My brother has this exact same problem. We tried everything except hard reset...
His solution....buy a new case lol.
Its random I guess coz my wife and I also have SGS2 and we use that case just fine.

Im using VillainRom 2.0 and its OFF by default, when you press Menu and then press NOISE REDUCTION OFF, it actually turns it ON.
I think the option is saying that the NR is off, then if u press it, it will be ON.
Tested myself with my brother on a noisy street, sound is more silent when I press NOISE REDUCTION OFF.

I have tried two different cases and both encounter same problem. Arghhhh very frustrating!

If the case covers the bottom area (mic) I think you will have this problem. Be very interested to know if hard reset mat fix

No the area around the mic and charger port are cut open so that cant be the problem

The noise cancellation should be at the top of the phone. Right next to the ear phones jack slot. For my GSII, the Noise Cancellation cannot be disabled permanently. It is always enabled whenever a call is made/received. I've to manually disable it once the the call is connected. Unfortunately I'm still finding out solutions. Will share of course

mute button pressing by accident

Hi all
I have got a new sony x10 mini pro, and have an odd issue that seems a design floor.
When on a call my ear constantly presses the mute button and mutes people.
any one know of a way to remove the mute button on the interface or another app that can be used for in call functions.
any advice would be much apreiciated.
thank you
Mat
Place rthe phone closer to the ear so that the proximity sensor disables rthe screen

i have d same issue n keep muting calls
I have posted the same issue here
I use hands free but it is still easy to press with the side of your hand if you are holding the phone...
I notice on my phone the touch still works outside the screen border. and it sometimes goes on speaker or mute
+1
Really need a fix for this. Mostly the mute button is the problem, but i have had the loudspeaker activated a few times too.

This is really annoying.

I really nead a solution for this.
I was also annoyed with this, so I made an app that launches it self after accepting the call to avoid the issue. The app can be found at my site on paxanima DOT net (can't post URLs yet, apparently)
I just made it, so not too much real life testing, but seems to do the trick.

Good work on that, thats a start.
But can someone just remove the goddamn mute button? UHHH!
It's too complicated for me. I think i installed like 4-5 apps but still couldnt get to the point where you can get the apk from the phone.
True, this is very annoying. SE has received plenty of complaints so I hope they're working on a solution. I am wondering if installing any of the new custom roms would sort out the issue for me since waiting for SE updates is a nightmare.
My problems started when I first updated to 2.1 where it happened in more than half of calls and got better with the last update and now happens only occasionally.
i never had that problem but i think that costum rom will help for these prob.
sory for bad english
Yeah, you have to be careful. Hold your phone from the back to avoid touching the front sides and slowly approach it to your head (the proximity sensor is at the top left of the phone). I'm pretty sure I look like a retard while doing so but hey, better than having the person on the other end saying "hello? is there anybody here? hello?".
Same here
This issue has also been annoying me from the beginning, and on every release of the SE standard ROMS. I don't understand why some people have the issue and others don't. Maybe it has something to do with the shape of one's ears??
No seriously, when i do some tests, like calling to my voicemail and then holding the phone in my hand, on some occasions the phone goes black after covering the proximity sensor with my finger, and sometimes the phone does not react at all when covering the sensor. So maybe some processes that are running prevent the proximity sensor from working correctly.
Would it be possible to adjust the semcphone.apk to have no mute button at all? I never use this option anyway.
Or is it only possible to change the shape and color of the icons/images.
As far as I know. When ever you made a call or answering call, the screen will turn off, right after you place the phone on your ear... So there's should be no pproblem answering or making call and suddenly pressed the mute button with own ear. Im using the same phone, and making almost 20 to 30 calls a day. And never even once encounter the problem as stated.

I get this problem once in awhile too. I have to bring the phone to my ear slowly.
can't we just replace the dailer APK with something from HTC or something?
I also hate the current contact list, theres no smart search.
Yes you can. But it has to be ported with some mod for it to work.

I have the newest update installed. I would rather not reinstall but it seems like it's my only choice. #Sadguy
I updated and still have the problem. sucks!
this was covered in another thread.. I can't recall where but the fix for this is related to the in pocket lock setting...
go into menu > settings > display
disable 'in pocket' detection..
reboot your phone..
after reboot, you may enable it again if you use that feature or leave it off.
PROFIT !!
I take no credit for this fix. I don't remember who discovered it but I'm sharing it because it bothered me after the update as well.
If this works/helps, remember to hit that magic thanks button
I've tried that and it doesn't work...only thing so far that works is a reboot

This isn't a device/hardware issue either. Something causes the sensor to shut off or fail. I feel this is software related.

I downloaded androsensor from the market, and you're right the prox sensor just stops responding... Says waiting for event, and after a reboot it gives an output of 1.2 our 39.4 inches.... Not sure what the prob is. I read on another forum that out may have something to do with rooting the phone, but I don't adhere with this. Are you guys with the problem rooted?
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
had the same problem. turning off "in-pocket detection" worked for me.
Just to confirm. Once I disabled the in pocket feature the proximity sensor works just fine.
Once you disable the in pocket feature you will need to power off your phone than re power it up and it should be fine.

I have tried multiple roms (Homebase, Star Wars, and stock) and it still malfunctions. definitely seems like a hardware issue.

yea was really annoying.....but it went away after updating the phone
Anyone still having the problem? I am. Im on the latest OTA and did a hard reset via recovery. Moto forums seem to think it has something to do with Bluetooth. Is it a known hardware issue? Resetting the phone always fixes it.
Ya mine does that too....i never ever use blue tooth so that cant be the only issue..bluetooth is off
On the latest update. 6 or whatever was just released the other day ..i manually pushed it with rsdlite
We will see if that fixed it

[Q] Loud beep when answering or making call [MTD]

I am currently running jt1134/teamhacksung's ICS Build 3 ROM.
The problem I'm having is that every time I make or accept a call, there is an earsplitting double beep noise.
I do not know if this can be turned off, or if it is a normal MTD thing (since I've had it happen on CM7 too), but it's really annoying.
Is there any way to turn this off?
I've looked but haven't found any way yet.
It sounds like what you're describing is typical "Phantom Ring". That and some problems I had with speaker phone audio are the reasons I left bleeding edge stuff like MTD behind and now run TSM Resurrection. I never did find a cure for it, and gave up looking for one. Some phones it affects differently. I didn't feel like the benefits outweighed the inconveniences.
I don't think it's the phantom ring. I've had that before on CM7 too. This is more of a "call connected" or "call ended" beep.

Can't disable the screen unlock sound

Suddenly, starting a few hours ago, my phone began making the notification type sound whenever I unlock the phone and access the homescreen.
The option (screen lock sound) is disabled under 'sound' in settings. I presume this is the setting responsible?
Any ideas why it's started doing it?
I've tried activating and deactivating different sound settings, silent mode, airplane mode, restarting etc in order to re-boot the setting, but to no avail
Then use widgetlocker and configure in that app.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Nope, just tried it and it doesn't stop the sound as it's already set to off in widgetlocker. It uses a different source for the sound.

Normally it should be disabled under settings/sound/sound for lockscreen. Otherwise factory reset if it is such a problem for you.
I found out what it was. Thought I'd update the thread in case its searched.
It was the nfc notification sounding every time the phone was unlocked. Turn off nfc in settings and the sound disappears! Yay. Was driving me nuts.
Glad to hear you found out

I flashed 10 roms as i could not get rid of that annoying sound and finally it was to do with NFC thanks a lot dude it was really starting to annoy the hell out of me!
thank you, i'm going crazy with that.
Thank you!!!
That sound was driving me crazy! I tried everything I could think of and could not find the source of that sound! My sincerest thanks!

Ghost sound notification.

Hi guys, extremely frustrating problem I have.
It has happened on two different ROM's so I don't think it's a glitch with the ROM as such, but of a file or possible app in my phone.
I have even used rom toolbox to delete every notification sound, yet this ghost noise still occurs.
It usually happens after I unlock my phone, the noise resembles something similair to the notification sound 'deneb'
No idea what it is, or how I can shut it up, once again it sometimes happens, othertimes it doesn't.
Any help is GREATLY appreciated.
