answering a call - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

when i first got my s3 and someone rang like my dad, it would ring and say dad calling, but now it only rings without saying dad calling
how do you turn it back
when i say it says dad calling, i mean as in speaking it out, as in its talking to me

Try switching on the driving mode. Let me know if it works

External speaker died

I've had the phone since it was released and noticed i was missing calls, emails etc. Come to find out my phones speaker is 99% dead.
If i place my ear to it, i can just barely hear sounds and music.

Haven't heard of anyone else having this problem. Sounds like you are indeed alone.
Maybe search the international gnote forum too, but I haven't red anyone experiencing this.
Sorry, good luck

The issue I've had is that my speaker seems to disable itself after I do a Hangout on Google+. Sounds only come though the earpiece afterwards until I power it off and on.
Call Samsung you might be able to get it fixed if you don't have a warranty

I've had my I717D (Telus version) for less than a week and from the first day I got it the external speaker would disable itself, then after a reboot it would work. It started happening more and more until today it doesn't work at all, I'm going back to get a replacement tomorrow.

Ive tried rebooting, factory reset, right now flashing the stock rom back and doing a counter reset. Dont think its going to help.
Apparently a few people with the international version have had this issue.
But att does give a 1 year warranty, so they should take care of it.

Plz help!

I can`t hear and cant be heard during voice calls on my Samsung Galaxy Note. When I make a call the speaker by my ear does make the default Android "dialling now" noise, but then nothing (although the call seems to connect and the other party picks up). Do you think this is a problem with the phone or a network error? Thanks
This just spontaneously happened 10 Mins ago. Was working perfectly before.
EDIT: FIXED. PLZ DELETE THE THREAD

Auto answer ap

Ive heard the S3 is able to answer a phone call just by putting it to your ear. That sounds kind of lazy, but so am I. Has anyone heard of such an app that can do this?

I heard the sgs IV will answer a call and put on speaker phone if you just think, "ill take that call".
Its amazing what these phones are getting to.
Not picking on you or anything, just posted all in good fun

I believe you need to go through iTunes to delink your phone number from iMessages. I may be wrong but I remember reading something in another thread about that. When you set up your iMessage, what did you do? I was under the impression that you had to do something with iTunes or there was a sync setting, something along those lines.
I just checked a box on the iPhone. Strange things were happening all my texts were being sent to a family member with an iPhone, I turned it off on their phone and now I am recieving texts.. I will probably call apple and see if they can take my number off the server or something

Microphone issues?

I have consistent problems on speakerphone with people saying they can't hear me. I had a bear motion slim case on it but I'm not clear if that is creating any issues. Is there a hidden microphone anywhere that the case may be covering? Or do I need a warranty replacement?

It's weird, I've had certain people tell me this as well but others can hear me fine. Not sure what's going on, but I know that when I'm talking with someone who has trouble hearing me, if I put in my headphones it solves the problem. Maybe something to do with noise cancellation/echo reduction?
Do you have a case on or anything? I only have the issue on speakerphone.

my girlfriend constantly nags about it when shes on speakerphone that i sound like im far away idk what it is
Bump. I tested with skype audio test last night with no issues. I can't figure out if there is really an issue

Stop trying to find issues where there isn't. The speaker on this device is horrible, so who would actually persistently talk using it

That makes zero sense. Especially since I'm referring to the microphone

I get the same complaint. Not sure why. My case doesn't cover the microphone from what I can tell

I've been messing around with this more and it seems like the bottom mic on my device is really directional in the sense that it only seems to pick up audible sound when you talk right into it. It's definitely barely picking up anything when the phone is held normally as if for a call. The speakerphone mic seems to work fine.
EDIT: I finally took it back to the store and swapped it out for a new one. It was definitely a hardware issue as my new one sounds much better.
Same issue here and I'm not using a case.
On speakerphone only, I get complaints every single time that people can't hear me to the point where I have to switch back to handheld.
Noise reduction currently off but it's the same either way. Gonna pop into Tmobile on the way home and see what they say.
Anyone else get a warranty replacement?

Go into voice recorder and be sure the microphone setting is set to 'normal'.

For those who have a problem with this, I've been dealing with this issue since day 1. It seems to be a T-mobile problem and NOT a problem with the phone itself.
The software is set up as half-duplex and not full-duplex as it should.
That means that if the person on the other end of the line is talking or making noise and you start talking, they're not going to be able to hear you. I've tried this with my phone and a replacement phone. Same thing happened. That means that you will continuously cut in and out.
I'm currently talking to T-mobile and they have a ticket open with me to work with developers on the issue. I have no idea what happened but, as someone who uses speakerphone all the time, it's a MAJOR pain.
If anyone has more experience with this sort of issue, I'd love to hear it.
Hi Guys,
I'm having a problem along the same lines. I moved to Tmo a month or so ago when the S5 came out (ported from Sprint). The first couple of days I had great coverage but intermittently when I talked to someone, they'd tell me it sounded like I was in a tin can. At times it was hollow or echo-y. It kind of stopped, but then started up again. To me, everything sounds perfect. Now, randomly when I talk to someone, sometimes they can hear me without any problem, and sometimes they can barely understand me because of so much feedback coming through (even though I can hear them perfectly).
Tmo gave me a new sim card to use and said to wipe my cache to make sure everything was good. I did that and it worked great for about a day. Now, it's random again. I call land line and it sounds like I'm in a tin can and when they talk it's lots of feedback. I call friend on att and they have loads of feedback when they talk but perfectly fine on my end. I called someone on Tmo and had the HD appear on the call and it sounded like he was talking through a pillow.
It's so weird I can't figure out what's going on, but it's getting really annoying trying to talk to someone and end up calling them multiple times just to see if I can get a clear connection.
Bluetooth in my car seems to work perfectly for each end, though.
I'm on stock rom, rooted w/ philz recovery, and have not updated to the new ANES.
I don't use a case.
Wondering if that would help out.
Check this out might explain the mic issue
