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 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.

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.
Many times while calling somebody the ringing sounds distorted.
Also, when the call volume is maxed, at times it sounds like the speaker can't handle it like an equalizer issue or something .
However this is not all the time, just enough to bug me. Is it a hardware defect ? Or att problem ? Anyone else have problems with this, even after updating to 1.83?
Thank you in advance.

I have problem with skype calls
I dont really know explain but is like i can hear the other party voice but when he/she is not talking, i cant even hear the background noise, is like it's totally silent. Is like when the sound is soft, it's totally silent, if is loud then it could be heard.
Never have issue with other phone, tried voovoo but also same problem reinstall stock rom still same issue. What's the problem?
isn't a skype's bug..when you call someone push sound icon at left top and resolve your problem..i'll hope so bye bye
I know it's not skype bug. What i mean is like when someone talk i can hear her voice + background noise (fan, tv etc), but when she not talking, I cant even hear the background noise, it's totally silent.
But when the background noise is louder for example she cough or what the sound resume back for 1 sec or so and go off again.
Hope this is clearer.
Anyone?

Hi,
I've been having complaints on the other end of people hearing their own voice echo during calls. It seems to stop if I put it on speaker or lower the in call volume.
Any thoughts/solutions?
I'm currently running rooted stock on T-mobile.
My wife said she heard herself when I called her over the aux in my car. Didn't have that issue with my mt4g. The volume in the car was the same as always, maybe the phone volume needs to be changed.
Ill report back when I play around.

I just flashed stock w/ Odin and left it unrooted - the problem seems to have stopped for the moment. I'm hoping it's related to network service and not hardware/software issues associated with rooting.
They're just messin' wit' you...cause they're jealous!
problem came back - only was able to stop it by turning off noise reduction on the in call menu.
it seems that it was actually caused by me inadvertently activating the noise reduction feature. after deactivating it, it stays off by default and I no longer have the echo issue.

Thanls ill give this a shot. It'd be nice if it auto-disabled when in car mode.

I don't know if it was this yet but my caller volume got pretty low after I did this, can't confirm yet. And yes call volume was all the way
