Hey all,
I'm looking for a custom ROM that includes a phone.apk that has noise reduction turned off as default (http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...ighlight=turn+noise+reduction+off+permanantly )
I also need it to have the default mic set higher (http://droidtricks.blogspot.com/2011/09/how-to-increase-or-boost-low-microphone.html)
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
currently no one i think. but want to havw it too

Thanks, do you happen to know where/if I can find a deodexed stock ROM collection?
In VillainROM, you can add an app called VRTweaks which has that feature. I had an echo problem when calling with a case when noise reduction was enabled, but people also complained about voice quality with it disabled - but not about an echo.
Detailed Problem Description and Solutions
For detailed problem DESCRIPTION & possible SOLUTIONS, see THIS thread!

During a call the other side hearing an echo of their voice,
But in videos or in recoreds there are no echo.
When I turn off the noise reduction there is no more echo in the other side
How can I disable forever the Noise reduction?
(I use samsung original rom).
or may I change rom to cyanogenmod.
Hi, Not sure about fully switching of the noise reduction, I recall a thread somewhere.
A possible simple solution could be... If you are using a case or cover for your phone - remove it for calls. This solution works for me with my phone!!
Yes try the ECHO post .

There are a ton of posts on this, with solutions. Search for the word "echo" and you'll see them.
I've already looked around at various options for boosting the volume on the phone, and I've run into issues at every point:
I've seen people reply to these threads saying that it's the headphones at fault: My headphones are fine. I'm comparing volume to an HTC Desire, and the SGS2 is distinctly lacking. And yes; I have plugged my headphones in fully
Another common reply seems to be that MIUI volume is higher than Stock so there is no issue. There is an issue: it's quieter than an HTC Desire!
Using *#197328640# to access Service Menu -- I'm running MIUI and therefore do not have the stock dialer, so codes don't seem to work. I could flash the stock ROM, do the code, fix the volume, but apparently the setting is lost after reboot -- so flashing MIUI after that is certainly going ot lose any settings.
I had a go with a couple of apps off the market, with low expectations, and they didn't work either.
I'm rooted (of course) and reasonably tech-savvy so I'm quite comfortable with a Linux system and ADB, quite happy to hack and patch. Is there any (permanent) fix I can apply to increase the volume? I'd prefer something fairly elegant, like applying the Service Menu options manually (somehow) at boot.
Have you tried Voodoo Louder?
Great tip, I wonder how I didn't find a reference to Voodoo before... I just bought the app and it seems to be working as expected!
Thanks a lot I'll test it through the day!
try the fix that in my signature then if u like to use voodoo louder u ear will blown lol
^^
+10000000000000 this ;-) Have been using Yahyoh's fix for a while now, have tried Voodoo Louder but this little app increases volume much more & also gives a "fuller"/less hollow sound.
Thanks for this info yahyoh, it's quite interesting that it's using
Code:
# alsa_amixer sset Headphone 31
I had a quick look (via BTEP) and found the names of the devices:
Master
Headphone
Speaker
Side Tone (NB. my previous research suggests playing with this will create echos in phonecalls -- so probably don't play with it!)
There are a bunch of others; I got the list via
Code:
# alsa_amixer | grep '^Simple mixer'
I am slightly wary of this solution, however, since it sounds like it keeps executing these "sset" commands on a regular basis (every second or so) and it doesn't seem like that elegant a solution. I'll stick with Voodoo for now, and if it isn't enough, I'll revisit this modification of the ALSA settings.
I'll pay special attention to the warmth of the sound, too, as I've installed the CyanogenMod DSP Manager, so thanks for the tip MistahBungle

Does that fix work on MIUI ROMs?
OP says he's running that, fix says for AOSP ROMs.

Yeah it will; MIUI is AOSP, as is CyanogenMod (which MIUI is based upon).

As I found out after clicking on link
Apologies - I'm stupid today - bloody toothache
Yea the volume is way to low. I would love a fix. No programs
There is no fix without a program. That little app of Yahyoh's doesn't work with ICS, Voodoo Louder will give you up to 6dB extra volume with headphones/headset.
Does this increase system volume also?
would like to know this as well
the sgs2 just becomes picker with headphones - you gotta go with low impedance models. something like < 20ohms
Is anyone else having a microphone low volume issue? A lot of people tell me that my voice is hard to hear. It's not a hardware problem, because the microphone it works just fine testing it using the service menu (*#*#7378423#*#* ) or using it with apps. And the problem it's getting worse if I use a custom firmware or kernel.
I suppose there must be a way to adjust the microphone level... There is anyone who knows where I should search? A file or something from the system folder, where a value can be changed?
Thanks.
Hmm, strange.
Can you try with a headset or hands free and use its microphone instead just to see if there's any difference?

or check if the noise suppression turned on/off in dial settings

I have exactly the same problem with my Xperia Active. Testing the secondary microphone in servece test it sounds better than the primary. Swithing off the noise reduction makes it a bit better, but still lacks of normal volume. I would appreciate any advise to solve it?
Any fix availible for st15i?
Any custom rom i used has the low microphone bug :/
Hi,
I have a HTC One X+ and have tried a couple of different custom ROMS:
Carbon ROM 4.4.2
Carbon ROM 4.3.1
The roms run really well, the only problem i'm having is that when I am calling people, they hear an echo and the sound is muffled and really bad quality..
I can hear the caller perfectly though, all the sound issues are only heard by the caller?
I have searched and searched on Google and these XDA forums but still haven't been able to find a solution to this problem..
I thought it might have been the latest 4.4.2 rom so I downgraded to the 4.3.1 however the caller still receives really bad audio / echoing..
Has anyone got the same problem? and more importantly how can this be fixed?
It seems so weird that it's only on the receiver's end of the call that the sound issues occur, i've read about a noise suppression option but can't find it anywhere?
This is just using the phone, no bluetooth headset / speakerphone.
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks,
Sam
My friend told me about a similar issue he had on his phone (not HTC). He said that this happened after he flashed a beta kernel which was unstable.
thanks for your reply, I've now installed the latest Cyanogenmod rom and even though there still is a bit of an echo on the receiver's end in calls it's not half as bad as it was.
I'll maybe try a different kernel, cheers
Hi guys!!! I have this great smartphone but I have a big problem and I'd like to know the cause.
I have done the root of my phone and than i have installed olokos's mod ([SOUNDMOD]Both speakers while incoming call + headphones boost )
In the fiist moment, the person that I called hears his voice like an echos. ( i have done a mistake: I have installed the wrong mod) i have done the backup restore and than I have put my backup rom.
now every person that talks with me or hears my voice like it is hoarse or as if I put a hand in front of the speaker . how is it possible???
according to you is, it a harware issue or i need to set my phone? is there an app?
thanks a lot
ps Sorry for my english! I am italian!!!
It's software, update to 438 if not already, if problem persists disable noise suppression and/or voice enhancement, should be fine then
