I also have this problem. People complain that the sound is lower than normal.
Strange, never seen such...
Have you tried other sim, from other network?

Unfortunately almost all SIM cards are normal sized, and the SGS3 uses uSIM. So ATM I don't have another one to test
I'd make a claim then, stating that the sound power DECREASED (DO NOT say it was like that from beginning ), it may be a hard- or soft-glitch.
Worst case scenario: they will test it and provide you with answer...
I had this problem a while ago, i just poked a paperclip in the mic hole and it worked, dirt and **** gets clogged lol

I have the headphones plugged in to listen to music and the phone speakers still play notify sounds and rings. I would like those to only be played in the headphones only when they are connected. I am using the headphones that came with the Samsung galaxy s3.
When in a work environment this is not ideal.
thanks
I'm having the same issue! I haven't figured out what's wrong yet... It is quite puzzling.

I think it's a good feature incase we forget to unplug the headphones. I like it. But usually ill put my phone on vibrate to avoid this when I'm in public.

This drives people nuts at the gym :/
Works correctly with my stereo BT headset... Are those included headphones voice enabled.? It would seem that SVoice or Google Voice should come up if you open the mic like the BT headset..

yep and at work in an open environment
Yup this is a big annoyance, every phone I've had played the notifications inside the headphones except this one. Anybody find a solution yet?
it's neither the rom u r on nor is it the kernel that is causing this. It's a problem in the google codebase. Apparently it's an enhancement as claimed by google. Beats me why.
There's no real fix so far. The ticket raised in google code has been sitting there for over 2 years with no response. I think asking here is pointless, believe me I've tried. I even had pple confidently telling me that it's normal for ALL phones
So as long as google doesn't fix this, we can only depend on the various workarounds out there.
Probably a patent stopping them from fixing it..

Or they want a couple bucks per install. That's the real issue, unlike classic ip such as ctl alt del which is a IBM patent, they charged in the penny range. Everyone wants to be a billionaire.....

Does anyone know if this issue is fixed in JellyBean ?
Also, there is a Tasker workaround that basically mutes all notifications and then plays a media file when it detects a phone call or SMS:

Its actually a defect from samsung. My gf has this issue and I don't. Samsung told her that her phone was defective and to return it. I had her try my headphones and it still won't work. She will most likely return it since she uses the headphones all day at work.

I will co-sign that this is a Samsung issue since I observed the same problem on the original Epic (Sprint Galaxy S) and also heard other reports of people with the same issues. None of my HTC phones have had this problem, so I'd have to point the finger at Samsung. I can't remember how we ended fixing it, but I think it may have involved reflashing.

Yea. Never had this problem on my Incredible. This is one of my many annoyances with TouchWiz... right up there with the non-centered icon for the app drawer and the lack of lockscreen audio controls (in the standard lock screen)
I have had several people tell me that it sounds like I am talking in a tunnel or tin can on calls I make. They claim it oly happens for a few seconds and then goes away but will repeat. Anyone else have someone tell them something similar?
Wondering if I got a defective phone. I have had no other issues and the reception on my end is always perfect even when they tell me I sound bad.

Are you calling using Sprint Airrave or anything?
No, just normal 3G service, not roaming, good signal strength.
If it's happening everywhere you go, in completely different locations on day 10, I would start looking into exchanging the phone.

I have the phone and have the same issues at times. The person on the other end will be like "What you say" and I have to repeat myself allot
Are you sure you're not covering the mic with your hand..?

I thought that also, tried moving my hand and on a long call they will repeatedly complain about it. Also thought might be ac vent from car blowig on it creating wind noise or something. I have gone through almost every posibility I can think of.
I had searched and could not find anyone else having the problem, guess it is the phone.
i have the same issue. i had it on stock rom too i think. had the phone for over a month, wonder if sprint will exchange it. if not i guess i can take it with htc.
Do you have a case on that's possibly messing with one of the 2 mics?
i do have the case on mine. ill take it off tom and see if same thing is happening. if im past 14 days do you think htc would work with me on this issue (replacement under warranty?)
has any one experienced problems while talking on the phone? it doesn't always happen but the other person on the line stops hearing me until I move the phone a little away from my face and they can start hearing me again. Its very annoying and weird, maybe it has to do something with the senor? I am on stock but rooted, I tried another rom and same issues.
Even though the mic placement is uite traditional for today's mordendo phones, I do find the GS3 is a bit more sensitive than others. Had some people complain about hearing me when on speakerphone and when I had it on my face.

I also had this issue today when I switched hands the party on the other line could not hear what I was saying, it was like I Was muted, it was only when I moved it away from my face and back were they able to hear me.
Same here . Have had the issue before rooting and after.

Could it be the screen protector messing around with the sensors ? Are the ones with the problem all have screen protectors ?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
I have been having the same problem. I'll be talking and for some reason the person on the other end will stop hearing me. So far, they have hung up before I could figure out how to fix the problem.
It only happens when I have the phone next to my face and it doesn't happen with every call. It also has NEVER happened when I use my bluetooth headset.
I do not have a screen protector on and my phone is stock. Sprint is the carrier I am using. I did not have this problem on any other phone I have owned.
Anyone have suggestions to keep this from happening?
I hope it doesn't turn out to be a defect

I'm not sure about anybody else, but I'm using an otterbox case, and I'm convinced that its what is causing my voice to sound muffled, anybody else using a case?

I've had this problem for several months now and cannot figure out a resolution.
I'm not sure when it began, but one day my volume for all notifications, ringtones or anything has become EXTREMELY low.
I will get phone calls, emails or messages and not realize it until hours later because I didn't hear anything.
I've tried volume+ and alsamixer with not much success. Volume+ helps slightly if I set it to 15-20 (max), but it's still no where near where it should be.
I've flashed many ICS roms, all of the JB ones and now put my phone back to Samsung's stock ICS. Nothing fixes the sound.
I was thinking maybe the speaker is dying but there's one thing that I noticed that conflicts with that: I've noticed that when I get a call if I let the phone start ringing and while the tone is playing, if I deny the call the volume turns all the way up to what sounds like normal- but only for like a millisecond.
Any suggestions? I'm beyond frustrated and I cannot wait for the Note 2 to come out so I can get my normal volume levels back.
Also, I've searched high and low all over these forums and the interwebs and cannot find anyone else with this stage problem.

Sir, really sounds like a hardware issue, like you mentioned about the speaker. If all the ROMs you have flashed and still having issues with sound, hardware...
will your warranty cover you for a new device or you just going to wait it out til the Note 2 arrives.

I'll probably end up waiting it out, with it only being a month or two away. I've dealt with it this long (I'm gonna guess at least 3 months.. if not longer).
I might try to put in a new external speaker if it doesn't prove too difficult.

The last thing I'm gonna try is putting it in download mode and flashing either GB or ICS tar file. That's mostly just for the purposes of selling it though.

Hey guys...So I've searched the forums and the interwebs trying to find if anyone else has this issue, but the top speaker on my HTC One is significantly quieter than the lower speaker. It also is super quiet when talking on the phone, as in I have to be in a quiet room and the phone forcibly pressed against my ear in the right place for me to hear anyone. This happens across different ROMs leading me to believe it's a hardware issue, but I was just curious if anyone else has encountered this and found a fix?
Have the same experience. No clue if it's normal or not. Doesn't seem to be too huge of a deal when held from a distance.
True, but the phone call quietness is what kills me.

I have also noticed this, although for me it doesn't affect the volume of my calls that significantly, so I don't know if mine is just not as bad as yours, or what. But yeah, it's weird. Kinda defeats the purpose of the whole "stereo speaker" thing...

Doesn't matter which ROM or kernel I use, from stock to kitkat it still does the same thing, which makes me believe its hardware...
