Having major problems with speakerphone and headphone use while in a car.
The speakerphone in general doesn't sound very clear. Both ends sound like wind or a fan is blowing right into the microphone. It sounds garbled on both the sending and receiving end of the call. Same issue with headphones.
Basically everyone says it sounds like the windows are down and a wind storm is blowing. Windows are up, and no A/C fan is blowing onto the phone.
Second phone with same problem. Basically impossible to use it in a car. Even when not in a car, the speakerphone quality is not that great.
Any suggestions?
No body else with same problem on Verizon SGS3?

Hi all, I have a question about my GS2 that I bought recently.
I recently upgraded from a Nokia e71x. I'm a college student with a roommate, so I used a wired headset to talk to my gf quietly at night on the phone (mostly talking low voice or whispering). I bought the samsung earbud+mic that comes with other samsung phones and she couldn't hear me at all or my voice was breaking up. I also tried using a little adapter to use my old ear piece but still, same problem. So I tried to use the earpieces in the voice recorder app to see if it was the calling or the mics and it was picking up my voice with perfect quality!
is there any way to fix my phone so that it sends better voice quality or something? I tried using the mics on my brother's iPhone and they work perfectly fine on it :/
Does it break up when talking at normal volumes? It could be that low volume doesn't work well with that microphone.

Not at normal voices, just at much lower/quieter voices. I know the mic works because using it on voice recorder I can hear my voice perfectly. Also, I used the mics on my old Nokia and my brother's iPhone and it works great
Keep in mind during a phone call noise reduction will be active. Not active during voice recorder. The phone may be half trying to cancel out your voice because it thinks it's background noise.
If you can get noise reduction shut off, that particular microphone may work better. The apple headset shouldn't work as well with noise reduction as it's a different brand, enabling better low volume conversations.
To test it out, use the Samsung headset to call someone and hold the microphone next to the microphone on top of the phone and whisper, see how well it sounds.
Then move the phone a normal distance away from you and see how whispering sounds when the microphones on the phone are and aren't covered.
If it is noise reduction causing you trouble, holding it next to the top of the phone should make whispering pickup better. And covering up the phone mics at normal distance should also improve how whispering sounds.

I tried what you suggested with no difference between any of the mics. Also, I tried to turn off noise suppression, but apparently noise suppression is already off when you use a headset. Thanks, do you have any other advice?
Lol, I guess get an apple headset. I'm sure there might be other things you could do, but I can't think of any. Could just be the Samsung one is not as good as the apple one.

has anyone got one of these? I was looking into getting a headset or headphones that operate like the apple headphones with the mic whilst someone calls or acting a means of listening to music. See this, looks cold, but not sure you can use it to speak to someone whilst the phone is in your pocket.

i think its just a bluetooth device that you plug your standard headset/headphones that came with your phone, i think the bluetooth device comes with headphones with the mic attatched anyway
Get MW600, I've got one and it works brilliantly

That's how all headsets with a mic work, ever since they first came out in the old days. "that operate like the apple headphones" makes it sound like Apple invented this, which they did not. They were about 10 years late to the party.
I find the bluetooth headsets are great, like the MW600. Great sound, no wire dangling into your pocket, works great for calls.
I got these with my phone for free, Its not he livesound ones though its just smart headset and the first time i used it compared to my 30 quid soundmagics it was ok, but once you let it burn in like all other headphones it improves dramatically, and the sound quality and bass improved and found its nearly as good as my 30 quid soundmagics.
I just got my Verizon SIII yesterday and I am loving it so far. One thing I have found is a pretty major problem as callers complain of a very prominent echo when I take calls in my car. They can hear themselves echoing back while my end is perfectly clear.
In my car I use a simple car charger and the aux input through the headphone jack on the phone. This setup worked flawlessly with my Evo 4G. What I believe is happening is when I plug into the headphone jack on the SIII it immediately assumes that headphones are connected and therefore does not apply any kind of cancellation to prevent feedback from the car stereo. The callers voice goes through the stereo, right into the microphone, and right back to the caller with a several second delay. Very annoying.
If this is indeed the case, is there any way to fix this? As I said above, my Evo 4G did not have the problem nor did my old Blackberry Storm.
dear Lord... audio goes into phone, through your aux cable, straight into the speakers. Your speakers then produce noise.. you know, that thing your phone detects to sense when you are talking? And it echoes because that person is hearing their own voice through your speaker. Your evo either had an amazing noise canceling Mic or a sucky normal microphone which didn't pick up the noise being broadcast. Just unplug your phone and put it on speaker if you are that worried about it, or do what I do and tell them tough sh*t and deal with it

I am familiar what the problem is. I am not stupid and I do not expect to be treated as such. There are ways of eliminating the echo just as the phone does when it is on speakerphone. Obviously it is doing something to eliminate the echo when it is on speakerphone that it does not do when plugged into the aux jack. I can't be the only one that wants to use the phone in the car with this setup.
The Evo doesn't even have a noise cancelling mic. It simply applied the same processing while plugged into the aux jack as it did when using speakerphone to prevent the feedback.
I don't know why I even bother asking questions here because I usually get a smart ass useless response. I thought this was a forum full of enthusiasts that like to hack at things and solve problems.

Here's the thing butter cup, all the good ones are out working on important things that the masses of people want while you are complaining about something that can be fixed literally by a quick yank. That's why I am having such a short temper with you. I have very little intolerance for ignorance.

I'm sorry for expecting my brand new flagship phone to be capable of something my 2 year old phone could do... The speaker phone is not loud enough to hear clearly on the highway. Sorry, that's not a solution.

Yeah got the same problem to, i use 2 do the same thing with my xperia x10, there were no problem. Since both our old phones didnt have noise cancellation program, maybe on our sgs3's we should disable noise cancellation

I tried turning noise cancellation on and off and it didn't make a difference. It will not allow me to toggle that when a headset is connected. Hopefully someone around here has a similar problem and will be nice enough to present a solution. If there is no solution then I'll have to figure something else out. Would the Samsung bluetooth clip device do it?
Hello
Im having a problem with my s3 sound quality during a call, both with my bluetooth car kit and the phone speaker. On my bluetooth car kit, the sound is to low, even after i set it up to max on the phone and on the radio and the other person does hear me fine (it uses the mic from the car) but i can barely hear the other person.
The other issue is also during a call, if i put it to speaker ( which i did after i couldnt hear anything on bluetooth), the sound is still to low and i can barely understand what the other person is saying.
Its very annoying and its the first phone where this happens, even cheaper phones i had didn't had these issues. So i was wondering if anyone knows a solution for this? I thought of doing this sound mod- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1722136 - but im not sure if it works and im also afraid to set the volume to high and break the speaker. I also thought about the "acid audio mod", but i think thats just for music quality.
Thank you for your time
I am on my 3rd HTC One and the microphone is still having problems. I've read other threads and none seems to provide a solution to the problem. People I talk to can hear me if I use speakerphone or a headphone, but not if I'm just on the regular headset. People can't hear me unless I scream really loud. Does anyone know how to fix this? I'm on stock rom.
Dumb question, does your headset have a mic on it? And have you made sure the volume is turned up with it connected?

My buddy is having the same issue. He is now on 4.3 and is still experiencing this issue. It's been occurring for a some time now. He is completely stock/never rooted. The phone itself has horrible mic quality when using the phone alone. If he turns on speakerphone or uses a headset the quality is crystal clear.
We did some playing around on how he calls and apparently it may be an issue with the noise cancelling sensor on the back of the phone (small hole). Try calling someone while covering and not covering this hole to test if your call quality improves. He ended up hold his phone while cuffing the back and it seems to be better. It's a dumb solution, but hopefully it works for you.
Does anyone know if there is an option to turn off noise reduction on the phone? Sorry for the question, i do not own an HTC One.
