Better call quality - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I've been having some issues with audio, people could not hear me. So I stared looking for a solution.
This is what I did:
Phone, menu, call settings, un tick noise reduction, in call-sound EQ set to clear sound.
Let me know if this worked for you guise, definitely worked for me

Since I got my SGS3 everyone I speak to over the phone tell me that the microphone quality is so good that it sounds like I'm right next to them speaking directly into their ear. It sounds the same for me too.

It's not that they can't hear me completely, but sometimes they hear a metallic voice, it happened also when I spoke to my girlfriend i could hear a mettalic voice. Since I changed these settings everything is perfect

Such a kick ass phone but

I can't get over how poor the incall voice quality is on any Rom including stock. Thought about returning but hoping for a fix. Increases volume with crazyag fix but calls still sound poor often. Its not all the time so that makes it more baffling. Anyone else notice and have any solutions.

I never have issues. More often than not I use a stereo Bluetooth headset. But, the caller sounds crisp and clear to me on stock, S8, UnNamed, MIUI, and ICScreweD.
What exactly do you mean by poor? Low volume? Static? Etc.

It could be a problem with your hardware or your phone's signal. I don't have any problems with call quality.

If the problem is echoes heard by the person on the other end - use a case that doesn't suck.
A lot of cases make the echo canceller/noise reduction go nuts.
Its not a case as it happens occasionaly with or without a case. Its hit or miss.

No issue with stock, unnamed and miui.

It's not as good as my old iphone 4 but its better than most other phones ive used. The skyrocket had better in call quality to. But this phone is better and i dont talk enough to care. I say try the skyrocket if you dont care about the speed of the device. Or exchange it and see if the new one is any better

Talking isn't a big priority for me either but very frustrating when i do. Maybe ics will help. Strangely task's Rom seems to be the best so far. Just installed iscrewd so maybe that will be the ticket.

I've had people complain to me that the audio quality has been irregular on speaker phone and bluetooth. Some people have even told me it is echo-ish.
Mine sounds fine to callers, i just can't understand people sometimes due to low quality/clarity

Is it just as hard to understand various people from various phones? Or do some people from different phones sound better than other people/phones?

My wifes iphone sounds horrible but my bothers iphone sounds great. Weird.

i've been told that sometimes i suddenly start to sound like i'm a million miles away even though i didn't move the phone away from my ear.
kind of annoying because it doesn't go away until i hang up and re-dial the number. had the same problem with my skyrocket but never with iphone....
and this is with no case. still waiting for my otterbox commuter in the mail.
No issues here either, clear call quality. I came from a 3GS and 4 where my gf would tell me it would sound like an echo (no cases) or distance sometimes like mentioned above. Said that hasn't happened with this new phone and i sound clearer when calling her.
Not to confuse the op, but this issue in regards to what im hearing not what the other end hears and its sporadic too. I never get complaints from callers, i just can't understand them sometimes.

Best stereo Bluetooth headset?

The Motorola s10- hd was nice but wife count hear me. Anyone else have any luck with something else?
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda premium
Have always used jawbone prime or icon, never had any issues with hearing or be heard in either loud or quiet environments. Abit pricey but worth the investment. Both my wife and I are currently using the Icon and now she's on the S2 also. Lol
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA App
I have the Jawbone Era and love it, but not stereo. I used the Icon which was great too, amazing noise cancellation with both.
I tested them while on a motorcycle with open headers, the person on the other line had no idea. That good.

Jabra
I've tried quite a few different Bluetooth setups but i keep going back to the Jabra BT3030. You can get it on eBay for about $20. Its loud andbhas good distance and best of all you can use any headphones you want with it. I have had mine a little over a year and use it at the gym atleast five days a week and the battery still doesn't have any fade to it.

Voice quality

I didn't have any of the problems with call quality that some of you but today I noticed a problem that I am hoping one of you may have a solution to. The call quality that I hear in my ear all of a sudden today became very tinty sounding and a little distorted. However when I listen to the call vis the speaker or a headphone the quality is okay. Is there another speaker that could have gone bad or a setting that would impact this?

Low ringing sound

Is anyone feeling that the ringing sound is very low compared to the music played through the speakers?

This......not so good!! Had a few phones with low ringtones, very annoying. Was hoping the Z2 to be on par with the G2 as I found that ringtone volume excellent!

How is the overall call volume? Is it loud enough?
Why do manufacturers do these dumb things?
I wanted the loud speakers mainly for the loud ringing advantage, as I set my phone down in one corner of the house and often miss calls as I can't hear it from the other rooms.
Hopefully there's a fix.

Apparently call volume is low too...
Everything was looking so promising for the Z2...[emoji22]
Can't be doing with a phone with low ring/notification sound...remember on the Sony Ericsson X1 the amount of calls and SMS I missed due to low (and poor quality sound).

Seriously, I don't know why every review I've read so far talks about the power front facing stereo speakers when the volume is really so poor. What's the use?
Looks more like a software glitch to me.
One more bug I find was the volume indicator which appears when you press the volume rocker doesn't seems to be moving continously the correct volume levels. Again, not sure whether it's just me alone with this bug.

Well it's a complete deal breaker for me. Seriously thinking of cancelling my pre-order
My opinion. Both call and ringer volume are more than sufficient.

Well, it depends on you, but I feel it's a software issue as I could hear loudly when I play music. So it can't be a hardware issue. It could be a matter of bug fix update from Sony to fix it.

Again, it's sufficient.
Web tests put the M8 at 85db and the Z2 at 82db.
I don't use my phone to blare music at high volume levels.

Notification sounds not playing on both speakers

Have you guys noticed that notification sounds are only played on the bottom speaker?
Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk
Yes, and they are muffled.
Yes same here low volume ,only out of 1 speaker and muffled
That's so disappointing. Hopefully Samsung releases an update fixing this. It's quite annoying.

Yeah, samsung really needs to fix this. The notifications sound is just too small.
