Ever since i started using the gs3, people are saying my voice sounds really muffled. I am using the omega 5.1 rom. Is it the phone at fault or the rom?
This is pretty much the easiest test ever. How would someone on a internet forum, know if you got a defective phone? Instead of asking people who can't help, help yourself and install stock ROM, then see if that fixes it. That was your question, right?
I use the Omega 5.2 and dont have problems, try another rom and see if the rom or the phone

Check this thread.
Im sure it will solve your muffled voice problem.
It did for me.

Hello gentlemen!
First of all, I want to thank neobuddy and everyone that he worked with on the ICS Passion ROM. I find it excellent and have been using it for the past week or so.
I do have a slight issue, though, and as I am not yet familiar with mobile development, I am not sure if the problem stems from my hardware or the software. I bought this Vibrant used, though in excellent condition. As soon as it arrived, I rooted it and installed ICS Passion on it. Therefore, I never actually used the stock software, and that is why I am unsure if this issue stems from the ROM or from the phone itself.
Anyway, my problem is that sometimes during a call, my voice will cut in and out very frequently. This occurs with various people and in various places, so it doesn't have anything to do with signal strength. I can hear the other person just fine. It also seems to only occur when I receive a call. Once I hang up and call the person back, they seem to be able to hear me just fine.
I suspect that this has something to do with one of the following:
1) Sound filtering and normalization. The way that the software handles the data that it receives from the microphone. If it was the microphone itself, I would expect this issue to be much more consistent.
2) Which network the phone uses during phone calls. I've gathered that H is for data transfer and 3G is for phone calls (for the most part). Is it possible that ICS Passion somehow fails to switch to the proper network when a call is received? This seems unlikely as I searched through the ICS Passion thread in the dev forum, but couldn't find an issue similar to mine.
Any insight would be appreciated, although I suppose if no one can help out I can just flash the stock and see if the problem persists. If it does, then I can only assume it's the phone.
Thanks!
try v 10 or v 10.6
Mute and then unmute your call. We've had this problem since cm7

Sweet, good to know, thanks. Do you know of a more permanent solution?

I'm afraid to upgrade to v10 because some people have been experiencing issues with their phones rebooting several minutes into the call. I may try it anyway, though.
Do you know if your problem is with incoming calls only?? That's where the issue seems to be, that the mute/unmute fixes. I put 10 on about a week ago, and am loving it. Put 10.5 on yesterday, and 10.6 today, so they are working on it. I think 10.6 might have fixed it for me, so I'm so happy. Thought Bionix was going to be the end of the line, I tried a couple of gingerbread roms, and had issues!

Been on v10 for a week and have not had the reboot problem. I've heard 10.6 has some problems but yeah the mute/unmute bug isn't that bad you get used to it

That's what it seems like. I have not had a single "you sound like you're underwater" issue for outgoing calls.
Thanks for the responses, everyone. I'm glad to find out that the problem isn't with the phone because I can't afford to replace it for a while. I guess I'll just wait a bit and hope that these slight issues get resolved in a more stable iteration.
Hi,
I'm on ICS Passion V12 rom and I have this issue, I hope someone can advise how to solve it. Ever since I flash this ICS Passion rom, my friends start telling me that when they say something, they can hear echos back and background noises. On my end, I have no problem hearing them. I used the speaker all of the time. I believed this issue only happen when I turn on the speaker. I even lower the volume down and it's still happen.
Looking at the OP and thought this is an issue with mute/unmute so I tried it but it doesn't help. I also searched thru the forum but unable to find the answer. Is this just me with this issue? I really like this rom and hope to get this problem resolve. If you know the answer, please advise.
Thanks!

My phone does that when i turn on speaker phone also, only to the listener on the other line.
I have seen this happen on my phone as well. I have also had this problem on other non smart phones and also on the stock rom. It does seem to happen every time using the speaker phone on passion v12 though. Just last night I had it happen during normal calling (not on speaker phone) but it was only for a brief moment. The rom IS in beta so maybe it will be fixed.
Thank you for reply to my question. I went thru 950 pages last night (what a pain...hehehe) in the developer forum and found number of others are also having this issue. Some are suggesting to use V11. I probably will give that a try b/c I only use speaker for phone so I can't use phone with this issue.
Anyone know if flash to V11, do I need to do wipe, wipe, wipe before flash? I want to keep the settings and app, etc...
Any good ICS rom beside Passion?
I posted a thread yesterday about how when i made a call the person on the other line couldn't hear me but i could hear them, when someone called me i could hear them but they couldn't hear me, i resigned myself to the fact that i would have to bring it in for repair as it was a hardware issue, flashed the 3 Ireland stock ROM, decided to try once more, made a test call and the person could hear me, got them to call me and i could hear them and vice versa so i put it down so maybe corruption in internal SD card or something.
I rooted again, flashed CheckRom and Franco kernel and set the phone up again as it was, called a friend earlier and he couldn't hear me, got him to call me and i could hear him but he couldn't hear me so im dumbstruck as to what the problem is here, i initially thought it was the microphone which was the problem but then after flashing the 3 Ireland stock ROM no problem, it was only after flashing CheckRom and Franco kernel (which i always use) the problem reappeared, so has anyone any ideas as to what might be causing this, everything else works as normal, texts, Internet,etc it's just calling someone they cant hear me and that's probably the most important thing about having a phone.
Id sooner not bring it into Fonemenders as ive heard some bad reports about this company, it's still under warranty with 3 Ireland and this is the company they use for repairs.
Phone has been fine up to this and i haven't dropped it or anything.
Cheers
84 views - no one got any ideas?
It will be a wrench if i have to stay on the stock ROM for the sound in my calls to work but i am dumbstruck as to how this has happened as it never did previously, is it remotely possible that 3 Ireland may have changed some settings whereas the sound in calls only work with their stock ROM, unlikely i know but im looking to explore all avenues before i bring this in for repairs.
Well posted problem all over the board in custom roms etc for starters .LFB Modem or something like it .

i haven't seen anyone post an issue like this on here yet (unless i missed something)
i am gonna revert back to Stock ROM and test it again, then ill root and flash a kernel and see what happens.
Truly bizzare this is
WORKING AGAIN
Flashed Android Revolution out of curiosity to see what happens, made a call to a friend and he could hear me fine, got him to call me and likewise so im now sure it isn't actually the mic which is faulty it must have something to do with ROM and / or Kernel but im fu*ked if i know what it is as ive been using CheckRom and Franco kernel for a good while now without any issues, isn't there anyone else on here who has had similar issues like this?
I'm just setting up my phone again, i hope this problem doesn't come back.
I have the same problem, only that not only on checkrom... I have tried several other roms and I have the same problem, with an exception... i always hear them and they can't hear me but is not continously... 15-20 seconds is ok then 10-15 they can no longer hear me... this is on checrom v3 with lbf modem... ANY OTHER ROM, kernel or modem no sound what so ever. It seems there are too few of us in order for devs to look into it... unfortunately

FINALLY someone else with the same issue, basically when i call someone i could hear them but they couldnt hear me,when they called i could hear them but they couldn't hear me, the problem appears to have been (hopedully) resolved now ive flashed Android Revolution, ill have to avoid CheckRom which is unfortunate as it's always been my fav ROM but the problem appeared to come back after i flashed back to stock ROM then back to CheckRom,
Hi I have the no sound in call when I remove system apps or freeze apps I was use the unofficial aopk ROM I'm now using the cm10 preview and still have the same problem I've tried loads of different modems with no luck it

There are a lot of reports with different roms of the same thing and so far all I've seen have been modem issues. I saw some people said they've tried different ones which seems weird, I'm running Checkrom 3.5 and Siyah kernel 1.4 with the new XXLG8 modem and have no problems. I was using LFB and had issues and LF3 worked as well.
It's definitely not a mic problem is using stock fixes it so don't send it in for repairs, just try some of the newest modems. I hope that helps.

I never previously had a problem running check rom and franco kernel but ive no idea what happened , i do freeze stuff in Titanium Backup but only stuff wgich people have already tested and it's safe to freeze so it's quite baffling what caused this problem but since flashing Android Revolution everything is fine it's a superb ROM too close to stock which is what i want and everything works 100%, ive no real interest in CM10 too many bugs for my liking ill just wait until the official Jelly Bean code is released for the Galaxy S3.

Yeah i agree mate it's definitely not a mic problem im not 100% what caused it but i do believe it might be LFB modem or something related to this.
Hey guys.
Here's the problem I'm having. People can't hear me well on the other line. Some have said that they can barely hear me, others have said it sounds all muffled. In searching I didn't find much on XDA, but did find some stuff on google about it being a known issue with the Atrix on stock software.
I tried CM10 first (epinter's thread) and now I'm on Neutrino CM7. I'm having the same problems.
Any thoughts? Is this something that is hardware related, or can a tweak or optimization help it out?
Thanks!
I'm not aware of anyone else around here having this kind of problem, so I would guess it's likely hardware-related. Either that or it's some freakish and unique software glitch. You could take it to a service center and have them clean it up, wipe and realign the mic and earpiece contacts to the motherboard or something (or you can try yourself if you're comfortable with that). Can't think of anything else to suggest.
It is a known issue and I have the same problem. On the stock u can disable noise reduction to get rid of this issue, but it is not available in CM 10

Thanks for the quick answers guys. It does seem to change on different ROMS. I'll keep you posted on what works for me.
bumping for answers lol
did you find out what was the best rom for you?
because im having the same problem and i tried the eprinter cm10 then the neutrino cm7 aswell and have same results, dont know what rom to try now
There seems to have been no resolution to this problem. I have the Galaxy SIII with no sound when I make a call and no one can hear me when I call. I can't hear on speaker phone or earphones but when I use the apps Skype or Vonage to make calls I hear fine.
Android ver= 4.1.2
Baseband ver= XXEMB6
Build no.=JZO54K.IXXEMC3
I have tried the Megawipe successfully many times and flashed 4-5 different Stock roms from sources in this forum and the problem is still there.
Is there an possible answer to this problem. I know others have this problem but I have not found any resolution to this strange problem.
Please can any one help here. It will be much appreciated.
If you've mega wiped and flashed a full stock rom using odin on your pc then it sounds like a hardware fault. Weird if speaker & microphone work in apps but not during calls.
Could be network / sim related. Worth swapping to make sure

Thanks for your reply. Yes I have swapped sim cards to no avail. Is is possible to flash the phone using adb for example how can I flash the modem or even the rom. Yes I know I can flash the rom or modem using odin. I have done that to no avail, but will I would like to flash using adb or Heimdall because if I use vonage or skype the speaker earphones work just fine. I am just experimenting to find a fix that is what guide can I follow to flash the modem or even the rom itself. I want to try to exhaust my possibilities if possible. It doesn't seem to be a hardware problem if it works on skype and vonage to make calls.
Thanks again for your help and others on this forum

have you solved this issue?
I am having the same problem...
I thought it was my rom problem, but after I have flashed a variety of roms (cm 10.2, pa 3.97, cm10.1, cm9) and modems
and now running on stock rom im still having this problem...what confuses me is that applications like skype , hangout & viber
works fine but if i call or received a call, i cannot hear the other party. I have searched on the forums for a few days now but mostly points
to bugs on roms. but since i am now running stock, should i say it's already a hardware problem?
