Hy
I just received my brand new SGS2 (White) and I noticed a problem with the in call sound. I tried calling my phone with different phones so it's not one phone that's acting up but my phone that has a bad speaker.
The problem I'm experiencing is a scratching sound when someone is talking with a high or low pitched voice. It sounds like a busted speaker.
I'm writing because I'd like to know if the speaker is really so bad on this phone or if it's something wrong with it. My wife can't hear a thing but I's really bothering me.
Note: I'm not talking about external speaker. I'm talking about the headset or whatever you call it. The one that you use in a normal call. I forgot to mention that the scratching sound goes away only if I set my volume below 40%.

Heyhey,
When i am calling, and put on my over 50% my speaker starts acting wierd (the one that you hold at your ear). It sounds like it cant handle the sound comming out, like its to loud or like there is something wrong with my speaker.
Known problem with the hero and speaker?
i notice the same thing with mine. it sounds like the speaker taps out... almost as if its going to blow. i'm assuming this is a common issue.
Any one else having problems with the speaker on the Eris? I noticed today when I got a call that the sound was all tingey and distorted. I don't remember it being like that before.
Yes, at full volume my speaker sounds terrible too.
EG
I haven't noticed anything to be honest, but for some people when I'm talking to them they hear an echo, and it's only when they're talking to me. I don't know if that relates to my phone or theirs.
I have a strange issue with my microphone or maybe I should call it sound pickup, on my SII.
When I take, or initiate a call, the sound quality of my voice on the other end is terrible, when I use the built in microphone. and I mean LOW ... like it almost sounds like I am not talking into the mike at all...
If I have the wired headset engaged, or a bluetooth one and take, or initiate a call, sound is excellent through the headset. But if I during the call, disconnect the headset, and reconnect it, the sound is also terrible through the headset.
I had my phone for a while running on Lightning 1.2 and sound was great, before sending it in for repairs (battery was faulty). After I got it back, I quickly flashed it to Lightning 4.2 and I can't remember if sound was working before that. I couldn't wait to get Lightning back on instead of the built in crap.
I've tried flashing other roms and kernels, but the problem remains the same.
Any idea's??
I am aware of these threads where people have similar problems, but I haven't heard anyone describe having no problem with the headset, but having a problem when de and reattachiong the headset ... sounds like sw to me. !?!??

have same **** and i search entire forum i heard another ppl have this problem
did u try between ur calls to disable the noise reduction
Hi, yeah I tried disabling noise reduction, and it didn't make any difference. It actually got a little worse, according to my GF but not much.
Can you reproduce that it works fine when using the headset at the beginning of a call?
my problem is that ppl hear in such eco thing and this is crazy everyone say they don't hear me good
Okay. Then I don't think our problems are related.
Quick question for anyone who may be able to answer this.
Has anyone noticed a low volume when the speaker phone is ON while making a call?
The phone speakers are awesome when you play music. Also normal call volume is very good. However, when I turn the speaker phone ON during a call, the sound from the speakers doesnt seem to be that great. Infact it is quite faint.
Any one else has the problem?? Also does anyone know any solutions??
Used the speaker phone yesterday for the first time and must admit even set to the highest it was piss poor low, very disappointed as like you said the speaker when playing music or video is fantastic.

this is my problem too, even my X10 mini beats the XPS! I need a louder speaker phone...
I also have this problem with a very very low sound when speakerphone is ON during the phone conversation. I have the latest software 2.3.7.I have had 4 Android phones before Xperia S and did not had such a basic problem.After all the quality conversation is mobiles priority number one before all the media, design, display and etc in my opinion. It is so low that I don't hear 50% of the conversation on a speakerphone when am I alone in a room. Please don't give any solutions like turn up the volume during conversation and all other settings since I have done it already. This is simple a manufacturers software mistake. Sony please take this seriously and don't embarrass on such a basic thing in phone like speakerphone volume. Everything else on this phone is great, only problem is a loose cover for the micro usb that you use everyday to charge the phone.
Strangely, when I switched to speaker mid call yesterday the other person commented that I got A LOT clearer for them Didnt sound quiet for me either, though I was in a quiet environment so it wasnt competing with anything.
Did you turn on xLOUD?

Thats for music with the music player.
hi all, my ZU is new, have it a week ago and im love with it but today i notice a strange noise on the speaker on top, the one used to listen in call people!! is a type of static noise, nothing i can listen when i have in my hands but when i put it in my ear i listen!! and that noise only appear when device is locked with screen off, and with no in call. i want to know if anyone notice that in our device?! i cant say if its normal or my devide have a problem!! help plz, sorry for my bad english!
Isnt the volume too high?
Perhaps there is something in "settings>call settings" that may be causing issue. I Read somewhere of someone who turned off both 'Microphone Noise Suppression' and 'Speaker Voice Enhancement' which cleared up sound issues with the ear speaker.
Could be worth a shot

I know what you are talking about .... It does not come only from earspeaker ... but from the whole top side. It can be heard only when you put the phone close to your ear. But it is annoying during the call.
I think it is badly shielded antenna. The sound it makes sounds the same like interference fom 3G/WiFi/Bluetooth in this video (but less noisy) ... watch this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKP5KmPRvHQ
I have the same problem as other guys on that czechoslovakian forum http://forum.xperia.cz/viewtopic.php?f=82&t=14223 ... they bought their phone in the same store like me
