I am as of recent having a call volume problem. I can hear them and they can barely hear me. My only work around has been using speakerphone or if you can believe this plugging in a regular set of stereo headphones (no mic. I lost the headphones that came with the phone) and speaking into the regular mic hole on the bottom of the phone. Then for whatever reason my levels go up radically and they can hear me. I have tried all the "service mode" temporary code tweaks without any luck. I have rebooted just in case I had f'd up any of the settings to put them back to default. Any ideas people? What other info might you need for me to isolate this problem. I am running xipher's j16 rom and it was working fine before. Also, it's obviously not a hardware issue or the mic wouldn't work better in speakerphone or headphone mode.
anybody?
Jeez. Thanks guys
Dude I had a phone that did that I had to get a replacement its the microphone
Still flashing , thanks to odin & tw

I just bought s3 recently and have faced mic issues, its not able to pick up voice easily, have to use the other hand to cover my mouth and phone for it to be able to catch my voice!!
I am going through mic issues.
I had a mic problem with my first S3 during phone calls. I couldn't do anything about it everyone was saying they couldn't hear me.
(The sim I am using is an British UK O2 micro simcard that I used in a iphone 4, cheap samsung, and samsung S2 previously with no problems at all.)
I then returned the phone to the T-mobile shop retailers, they said it was rare and not a common fault.
My new one is doing the exact same thing, I didn't update it nor is there a new update.
Can someone please help as I am lost. Thank you.

s3 mic problem
im having same problems n im on my third 1, all with the same problems. just been through all setting n nothing, waiting to hear back from my network provider (3). good phone but really annoyed with this problem now, everything is ok i put on loud speaker but this is no use when im tryin to run a business.......
I thought I was the only one facing the issue . The handsfree using the wired headset is completely faulty and the other party can hardly hear you . However sometime it works.
I tried some options ..
1. Dont insert the wired headset in the middle of the call it wont work.
2. Insert the wired headset and then dial the number - this seems to work most of the times
3. Accepting the call while the wired headset is inserted - this seems to work.
Not sure what the solution is - anyone able to resolve it ?
not the best voice receptions by the mic....but i havent got any complaints from the receiving end...and audio recording not great but better than the s2..used both the phones for quiet long
I have same issue. Other party doesn't hear me most of the times clearly. They say that I sound like i'm using speaker mode and I'm walking in the room with bucket in my head.
I used some kind of phonecall recording app and from there I can hear myself quite clearly. Maybe it is related to service provider?
Now switched to gsm mode only to see does it make difference.

Seems like noice cancellation needs to be disabled. Worked for me :good:
Try turning noise reduction off , in the call settings section

I also have the same issue. But when i go to uncheck the box I am not allowed to do so. I see it is checked but with light green colour and i cannot uncheck it. Any suggestions?
I am not rooted.... Does this affect?
mic problem in S3
M also having t same problem...hav done all the ways explained above...but still in trouble....sometimes mic works great but sometimes it dont...
microphooooone hole
I have a solution guys. Use left hand when phone call or grab it just for upper part. You are covering small hole for microphone.
I have like 1phone/year and never happened to me that i cover microphone hole when calling. With this one I have to stay focused to dont cover.... Its getting better but samsung engineers terribly overlooked this.
I phone like 4-5 hours per day, so i have habit to let phone just touch my hand and pretty much dont hold it at all. But when you hold it right hand your below thumb area of hand get to cover microphone hole....
and this is when someone else looses my voice over phone....
There is a microphone at the bottom and one at the top. How are you holding your phone? No matter what I do, I can't cover them up during a call.

Same here, cannot uncheck 'noise cancellation'
Wired headset only works when call made first, then audio plug inserted, even with BT disabled.
Multiple headsets mics not working that are known good headsets tested on other phones.

I have played with recording a bit lately (due to another issue of noise in audio recording) and I found that the upper microphone is disabled during a call from some reason. It is used in other video/audio recording though.

if I'm not mistaken the upper mic is working solo when ur on speaker during a call.
when u use the ear peace the buttom one is the main one and the upper one is for noise cancelation.

I only tried on speaker and the upper mic was definitely not catching anything - if I placed my hand over the bottom one, there was no sound from my side, even when I was talking directly to the upper mic.
Not sure whether it is a feature or a bug (there were some reports that the mics are switched by mistake on the software level) but if it is a feature then it is rather unfortunate one as it is quite common to hold the phone at its bottom.

You right, thats the reason for upper microphone - do compare signals from lower ant top, and eliminates noise (that coming more from top) from voice (that coming much more from low)
Other reason probably is stereo sound when making video...
PS
Comon guys, it is almost impossible to hide microphone with hand, left or right - does not matter. You should have palm from soft material as balloon to hide it Otherwise it is hardly possible by mistake, even if you try it is hard to do it
At some point last week while out of the country I was using Groove IP to make wi-fi calls (as I often do) but the earpiece volume started messing up and I couldn't hear things through it anymore and started using headsets and the speakerphone for calls. So I removed that app and started using Talkatone but the condition remained.
Now that I am back home and removed Talkatone as well, I find that I can't hear anything out of the earpiece on regular phone calls either. Bluetooth is fine and earbuds are fine and the speakerphone is fine, but I can't hear a thing through the phone's earpiece (and yes, the call volume is all the way up).
I tried reinstalling both apps and checked the various settings but can't find anything wrong. I also did a soft-reset but no help.
Anyone have any ideas, aside from a hard-reset? This is my second One X+ in six weeks and really hope it isn't a hardware problem.
Thanks.
Did you ever solve this problem? Experiencing the same thing on an HTC One X+ I was given. Speakerphone works fine, but the in-call speaker is totally silent.
My son had an iPhone 4s that had this problem. It was rumored being too forceful with the headphone plug broke the jack to board connection and a signal trace to the earpiece. The phone was replaced under warranty.
Good chance it's physical damage but unless you have a soldering setup for fine work you have few options.

Hello, I have a very strange issue , I wi be greatful if someone could help me.
When on a CALL , another person can barely hear me, voice keeps breaking up. Then When you turn ON loud speaker, problem suddenly disappear and all is good
Turn loud speaker OFF again, can't hear me properly again.
MIC tested and works fine with sound recorder.
Tried to to turn off LTE calling and disable late and other stuff
Tried to speak directly into mic, same thing.
Basically they able to hear me clearly only with loudspeaker ON . Weird
This is also strange as I seem reports where some people were complaining exactly opposite, that loudspeaker ON created problems. In my case call quality works when speaker is ON.

[SOLVED]
Found am answer on another forum. :laugh:
Basically Just had to clean the microphone hole with vacuum cleaner.
Still strange, how it works, as I wrote before, mic works fine when loud speaker ON, as and is very clear when using voice recorder. Somehow it very sensitive to any dust inside when used during a call.
But it did a job, can be heard clearly now without speaker ON or with.
I have the same issue its weird but I tried cleaning it with toothbrush and toothpick still nothing.. I will try the vacuum cleaner I hope it works.
edit:
It didn't work for me
