[Q] Mic Volume too low on LG Optimus F6/D500 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When making a call, the volume is too low for anyone to hear me. However, as soon as I switch to speakerphone, it works fine. Recording seems to work fine as well. This makes me think there is something wrong with the bottom mic. It's stock T-Mobile ROM, I just rooted it, however, can't find an app that could adjust mic volume.
I've tried searching, but there are thousands of threads for Galaxy S2, that require you enter a secret menu. I couldn't find a code for my phone.

Did you find a solution for mic problem ?

My phone is rooted. but i didn't see the lines with my build.prod. Here is what is over there:
#snapdragon value add features
ro.qcom.audio.ssr=true
# Do not perform SIM power down when change the radio mode
persist.radio.apm_sim_not_pwdn=1
# LGE_CHANGE_S, 20130304, duhyun.kim, Allow data call list change event even if LCD is off.
persist.radio.data_no_toggle=1
# LGE_CHANGE_E
Ahmed, Just would like to mention that I have rooted LG F6. my problem is not exactly like yours but seems somehow related. For me, call voice is perfectly fine but using speakerphone, my voice become sorta not available...means nothing goes to other party if i activated speaker phone. recording with mic is perfectly fine as well.
Thanks and appreciate your help.

Oh man i thought you had Optimus G. That fix ia for G. Low gain on speaker phone means problem in noise cancellation mic. Once you putyour phone on speaker mode noise cancellation mic acts a main mic . I'm not sure if your phone has that or not ?

hm...I got confused with header "LG Optimus F6/D500" of this thread. My phone has F6/D500. I think "Optimus G" and "Optimus F6" are same sort of animals, I need to check documentations to identify "Noise cancellation Mic" location. But do you know any settings (build.prop) that is responsible for "Noise cancellation Mic".
Thanks again to help me

Nope bro but i think somewhere you've to change dualmic to analog from digital in build.prop

Call Recorder App for Vibrant?

I have seen voice/call recorder app in market but either they just don't work, can recorder my voice only, or I have to put call on speaker to record both sides.
I am coming from Symbian and there were many reliable apps for that.
Is there a single reliable Android app for call recording? I don't mind automatic or manual.
thank you
+1 here... I'm also coming from N82 with Ultimate voice recorder
I just tested Recoroid yesterday and it worked.

Notification sounds using stereo Bluetooth on STOCK Rom

Hi,
In new gingerbread update when I am in my car using my mw600 as handsfree, I get a call BUT the earpeice is not in my ear. With the mobile not being in my immediate view I can't tell that there is a call.
Why? Coz the phone speaker doesn't ring when connected to stereo Bluetooth. This is since the gingerbread update on x10.
I tried cm7 by z and its a great Rom, also more importantly in regards to the above issue there is also a section in cyanogen mod settings which allows notification sounds to be played through phone speaker. I couldn't stay on this Rom because I wanted the stock SE camera.
My question is simple:
Can the stock Rom have any sort of tweaks to allow sound to be redirected to speaker when in handsfree mode?
Suggestions or point to any useful threads please.

i don't know what happen with you, but when i connect my phone with my sound of car, the phone still play the notifications with the speakers.

Is that stereo Bluetooth? i.e using Bluetooth headset such as mw600? Also if u r using car Bluetooth, can you play music via car speakers from phone? If not then your scenario would be different to mine.
Also I must point that this is not a bug on my phone as I have experienced this with several installations of stock Rom.

[Q] Notification sounds not playing through headphones

Curious if anyone else has noticed this / knows how to "fix" it.
When I have my headphones plugged in, the notification sounds (eg the default new message "whistle") comes out the speaker instead. The sound in the headphone (music) will mute during this. I've had to resort to turning the notification volume off during work hours, so the sound doesn't disturb others at work - surely these sounds should be coming through headphones while they are plugged in?
Hello,
I'm with the same issue! It's very odd...
Any thoughts about this? Btw, I'm not using stock headset (I'm not used to in-ear headphones).
Yeah add another +1 to this....!!!
Not tried with stock headphones I have a set of Bluetooth ones and I get all notifications through them .
I'll take look in settings .

Actually I double check again, theres a "notification" sound going through headset. the only problem is it's playing simultaneously with the phone speaker. Really annoying specially if I'm in the office cause others can hear the notification sound too.
An android bug, apparently

This is a long-standing Android bug that manifests on many, though not all, phones. Google for "android notification sounds headphones" and you find many complaints about it, and a Google bug report with comments going back to 2010.
There is a apparently an easy way to patch it if your phone is rooted (though I cannot find info on exactly HOW) and there is a script here on XDA for use with the Tasker app ($6 or so in the Playstore) that can address it.
Other than that, the only thing to do to minimize annoyance to your coworkers is turn notification sounds to silent when using headphones. There are volume profile apps that can do this automatically.
In this bug report https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=6696 and this one https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=16667 it said that's a problem with ICS, that is supposed to be fixed in JB and that CM have their own fix for this.
Let's hope that S3 JB release will fix it.
this problem has been bugging me too..hope its fixed in the next update.

Is there any ROM or any app or anything whatsoever that is WORKING to record BOTH SIDES of call?

Records both ways? Doesn't need to be in speaker phone or anything? Is there any settings I need to change? Sorry for all the questions I just want a working one and If I have to buy it I will but I need to be sure first.
There is a few version to trial. Take it for a spin and assess is functionality for yourself then if it works as well as you'd like. . Then buy if you prefer. Works fine for me on stock settings

But it does record both sides of call right?
Yes. .. Yes .. That's what I mean when I say it works fine for me. If it didn't record both sides. .. It would be essentially useless in my opinion.

Try to change the format of audio file of call recording saves...
If you are rooted Wanam xposed has that option. I'm not 100% sure if it works.

The thing is I am running CM ROM.. which is Kit Kat 4.2... I think that is why it isn't working for me.
Check out "RMC: Android Call Recorder"
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.record.my.call Make sure in tweaks you change source to phone call and audio format to wav for best quality. Works on stock rooted mj4.
I use Wanam module for Xposed. There is an option for call recording. However, it's not automatic. While in a call you have to hit MENU then select call record. Saves the files to Voice Recorder app location. It records both sides of the call perfectly

Hello friend, I noticed the same thing in my c6833 with kitkat.
Even videos... the audio was played in the ear speaker, and very low.
Altought, when I rebooted my phone, everything went to normal.
For me, it's not a constant.. more like a bug
I have also experienced this on one occasion, and it's a known bug that affects all Sony devices on KitKat. I'm sure Sony is working on it.

I have experienced that too. I don't know why but now it seems to stop. I'm not sure what, but turning off all the Sound enhancement, esp the dynamic equalizerseems to be the solution for me.

Hey guys did you try this?
Go to settings / sound / volumes / notification
Change the notification sound to maximum and make sure you can hear it from the speakers once you do, reboot.
