Hi There,
Fairly new to SGS2 after coming from HTC DHD and have had the phone only about a week rooting & installing ROM Cognition 1.31 with kernel Ninphetamine 2.0.5 & matching KG3 modem almost from the start. I don’t actually remember making any phone calls prior to rooting etc or even until yesterday where the recipient said their volume was very very low & muffled (their volume at max).
• All system sounds are max. (but I think that really affects speaker, not mic)
• I have tried calling to other networks (mobile & landline) with all calls feint & muffled.
• Tried with alternative SIM (different network)
• Tried various radio/modem KG6, KG2 and restoring my stock ROM - (KG2) with Chainfire’s rooted KG2 kernel & matching KG2 modem.
• Mic hole is clean and no plastic
• Edit: UMTS signal is 2-4 bars
Still mic volume too low and no audible change.
With speakerphone ON, all recipients hear me fine (good volume and clarity)!
So far I’ve found the ‘secret code’ *#197328640# and selected;
5. Audio
1. NB (Voice Call)
1. Handset
1. Volume
1. DST I2S1 TX Volume
My current values are:
0. 66
1. 70
2. 74
3. 78
4. 82
5. 86
I have been searching in vain for a solution, so hopefully someone could please help me out. I’m not sure if I’m on the right track above or what values to change (if indeed I'm in the right menu). Is there another solution as well? Thanks.
Edit: Have tried setting the above values to increments up to 100 & also back to full stock KF4 Firmware (no root etc) and tried with higher increments. Factory reset and still very low mic volume to recipient. Still OK when using speakerphone.

Thanks for that. Had a good read through, and tried a few things incl adjusting gain. But so far still no good. Just updating through Kies to KG2 (all stock) for another go. Otherwise waiting for my counter micro USB Jig to turn up and send back to the store.............
Any further suggestions welcome
Could any moderators please move this to the relevant forum section or thread, apologies. Did search google and Q&A here, but never thought to look in General,....considering it's a question.
Frankly those threads I mentioned are good but didn't do my purpose too. That Volume + apk is meaningless and the mod through keypad gets reset on reboot. But frankly I don't have any Low voice issue other than the headphone volume in a call, it is terribly low and I just stopped using it. I think only Samsung could fix it with a firmware upgrade.
Regards.
Hi there,
I had a similar problem, in fact, I rooted mine as soon as I could lay my hands on it...it was quite unfortunate that I was not able to fully test the 'mic' problem before rooting so I had no idea whether was it before rooting or after rooting...in any case..I am based in Singapore...Samsung Service Centre SUCKS big time here...
While I do love the Sensation ROM and Litening ROM on the SGS2, I eventually restored to the official ROM to have the handset replaced...
So with my new SGS2 that I had, I basically tested the 'mic' thoroughly, speaker phone, held to both my left and right ear as well as holding it in different angles to make sure the person on the other end could hear me perfectly..after that, I proceeded to ROOT the official firmware and did the 'mic' test again...when it was all good, I flashed it to my custom ROM of choice..everything works perfect now
Did I solve the problem...probably not but this post is for the people out there who are experiencing the same problem and hopefully in a position to have their handset replaced. While the SGS2 is great, I suspect quality control may be a problem...
Cheers
No luck, now fully stock, download counter reset and returned to Samsung. Just waiting for a replacement.
In the meantime, bought another, making sure to at least make a few test calls in the shop before walking away! All is good so far.....

so far no fix, sgs2 users tend to ignore this problem on the forums. You won't find a working solution, I've searched for days. Trail's gone cold and we're left with this problem. Samsung doesn't care to fix it either, and the userbase seems complacent.
After days of internet research, I found a solution that at least fixes my muffled mic problem. As you can see in the attached picture, Galaxy S 2 microphones are sealed in plactic casings. Suprisingly, my SGS2's main mic was not sealed (contrary to the attached pic), but the secondary mic was placed under, not in the sealing (which shows a clear fault in production). I tried to seal it back in plastic casing, which didn't solve the muffling issue. Then I completely removed the plastic casing and the mic sound is now much better, though it is still not as good as my other phone, I9003. Hope this helps other people.
BTW, I am not responsible for any damage to your phone; this procedure may render your warranty void, you can easily damage your phone, etc. Search youtube for "samsung galaxy S2 disassembly".
Prior to this solution, I tried various stock roms, custom roms, lots of modems, which didn't cure the problem. It is really shocking that Samsung's flagship product has such a major problem.
@ umitoz
Thank you for sharing your experience which may turn out to be a simple fix for some. I ended up returning the phone for warranty through the seller and came back all microphone functions repaired. Seems Samsung had increased the speaker volume as well.
As I did not receive any repair report, not too sure what was replaced or repaired, but all is working better than ever. Cheers

Did you screw some settings up?
On both phones repaired wifes & my new, the identical Tx values as before waranty:
DST I2S1 TX Volume (94):
0. 66
1. 70
2. 74
3. 78
4. 82
5. 86
Gain (Repaired & New):
I2S1 Rx Gain : 0x0
I2S1 Tx Gain : 0x0
Think this is how I left the gain when returned it for waranty, too long ago since played there, but beware, can make it worse also!
Since it's a very expensive piece of equipment, this problem usually a hardware fault, and I adivise anyone with similar problem after trying a few "tricks", to don't bother waste your time and return it for repair or replacement. If you're rooted, flash offiical firmware with Odin (Intratech thread) and reset Download Mode binary counter / remove warning triangle with USB jig.

Not quite, my mic is not usable at all on custom roms, and barely usable on the stock rom. I'm simply trying to get a baseline of what works for other people.
I'm picking the parts up and making a jig when I get home today and will take the phone back tomorrow.
Thanks
No problem. Hopefully you'll have it back quickly.

SGS2 - mic volume too low -- The Solution
Hi,
I had the same problem where mic volume was very low although calls with speaker or BT worked fine.
After trying several ROMs I realize this is HW issue.
I tried to replace the whole mic module with my wife's phone, but the problem stayed the same.
Then I've download service guide and followed the flow chart.
see enclosed files.
I found out that C621 capacitor was not connected well. I've resolder it and the problem was fixed.
I guess that this is a weak solder and the phone fails once it is disconnected.

i can confirm the small rubber/plastic piece is the culprit.
i replaced my screen recently, had no mic issues before this.
after, however the lower mic was totally useless, i had to use the speakers while in a call, so the top mic was used.
today i removed the small piece of rubber that covers the mic, it does indeed look as tho the mic should sit inside this, but it was not.
i used a small pair of scissors and removed the bottom flap of this, i then replaced it over the mic.
tested by ringing my slightly deaf father, who had no problems at all hearing and understanding me.
sorted
Hi,
Tried the code..upon pressing '5' I get a notification saying 'Caution: MENU Blocked'..plz help..
P.S. Don wanna remove the casing and expose the hardware to try the other solution..
Would you be so kind either to circle the capacitors or post a bigger picture as I am unable to located them.
Thank you
you can try korean modems M250K ub23 or M250S i have flashed them and i feel i have different phone now loud volume during calls so no more frustrations.

Evening Everyone,
So I have been using these forums as a source of information for quite some time now, however no amount of browsing has solved my issue so It's now my time to start a thread.
I have been using my TFP for Skype for a while now and it's always been fine, but suddenly my microphone has stopped working both on Skype and double checked on the built in voice recorder. There is no sound at all being detected by my microphone.
I wondered if any of you have had a similar problem and if it's a known issue or could someone help Me?
Thanks in advance

I hope you did not reset your Prime by inserting a thin object into the microphone hole, I've heard this can actually damage it.

My mic has stopped working too. I know it worked before with google search. .
And... after a cold boot the mic now works. Well thats nice.
Has no one else seen this issue? The mic stopped working until the tablet was rebooted? Dav3--Uk, did your mic start working after you rebooted?
I have something like this that I cannot solve for months now. I sent mine in for RMA and they never fix it. Mic works for only 1 app (built in "Sound Recorder" app). Everything else from Skype, to Google voice search, to Google voice typing for super note, they are not working at all.
I try to email Gary on here but haven't heard a reply in weeks. If anyone encounter this problem and know how to fix it, please give me some advice. Although wise I'm basically giving up on this tablet. There are so much problems with it and this is one of the major ones.

It did this for me before stopping again. I had called the techs and they had me do the reboot which it started working for a short period of time then crapped out. I believe the way I was holding it pinched the microphone and temporarily fixed the connection.
Soon nothing I could do would fix it and I had to send it in for RMA (got a new one).
Yep...I broke the microphone trying to do a reset

Hanging my head in shame...I did
I'm probably going to wait and see if I can get a replacement module for the microphone. Also noticed I no longer have the flash working either and from what it appears in TechRepublic's tear-down photos, the microphone and flash seem to be on the same board.
In hindsight, should have read the manual so to speak. On the other hand, they could have distinguished the microphone port with two holes instead of one.

I don't use any streaming services though. I have all my music saved on my SD card and play it from there and when I stream that music over Bluetooth to my car stereo, every now & then the audio will just go out (mute) for like a second and then come back on. I thought it was my friend's car stereo (Hyundai) but I'm driving a Chevrolet now and it's doing the same thing. So, I'm sure it's the phone because it happened on my original eVo LTE and I now have a replacement device that does the same thing.
I'm having the same issue, audio cutting out for like a split second at regular intervals.
I'm running OMNI dated 20140331 and kernel from that.
On stock 4.1 it didn't seem to do this.
I saw in another thread that boosting the min cpu frequency might help, I'll try that today.
Well that didn't work.
Anybody else have any ideas?

I've seen a few times it can be caused by the back cover being loose not sure if that is your issue but it's worth a shot
Sent from my EVO using XDA Free mobile app
It wasn't loose but I see the antenna contact points. I'll try applying pressure to the back cover over the bluetooth antenna contact point (as soon as I figure out which one is the bluetooth).
But I thought the issue with the back cover was total loss in bluetooth connectivity?
I don't have any problems connecting or staying connected. Just the audio stutters/skips.
Holding the back cover slightly below the headphone jack (where the wlan/bluetooth antenna contact points are) did not seem to make a difference.
I'll probably move the contact points out a bit anyway.
The only change to stock OMNI is restricting the max cpu freq to 702.
I'll try turning that off tonight.
Hello XDA,
I recently purchased a new android phone off ebay (it's Motorola Razr xt912).
It turned out the front mic doesn't work at all. It doesn't matter wether I use stock android or my CM installation. It didn't stop working, it never worked since I got the phone.
First I noticed people couldn't hear me when I was making calls, so then I tested the mic with a recording application which allows to choose the source mic. While I was able to record sound using the rear mic without any problem (in the app and also using the camera app), I never could get any sound at all from the front mic, regardless of application or OS used. Therefore I think it can be concluded that it's a hardware issue.
I don't really know what to do about this, I could contact the seller on ebay, but unfortunatelly in the meantime I managed to scratch the back of the phone a bit (there is a small but clearly visible scratch on the back) so I'm not sure they'd be willing to replace my phone.
It occured to me that maybe I could somehow coerce the phone application to use the rear mic, is this possible? If so, how could it be done?
If not, what else would you advise me to do?
If need be, I suppose I could take the phone apart. I have succesfully repaired multiple pieces of electronics in past (multiple PSPs, ebook, etc...), however this phone is really tricky to open and work with and I'd really rather look for another solution prior to attempting to fix it myself on hardware level.
Any help is appreciated.

You clearly know that it is a hardware problem.
How can you expect the front mic to function using apps?
Use Voice Search and try to record through front mic.
There is an app which has an option to change the mic from where it must be recorded.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=yuku.mp3recorder.lite
I suggest you try to get the full version and moreover I never used that app before. So you are on your own.
If it still doesn't work, I suggest you to get that piece of hardware fixed in service centres rather than trying it out yourself.
I have replaced this phone with another one thinking I may have had a defective unit. Callers report Muffled sound or hard to understand on their end... when I switch to speak it's fine.. and of course Bluetooth is fine. Anyone else have similar reports?

Same here, gets annoying having to repeat myself....
This happened to me once in the month that I've owned my G3, though I use in car bluetooth for 80%-ish of calls. Could have been a phone issue or a network blip, I don't have a large enough data set to draw any conclusions.
Yes, we have issues with call quality when using the phone without bluetooth. Callers report that my voice fades in and out / sounds muffled. I've used it in areas with strong and weak signal strength. Therefore ruling out tower issues.
For one G3, I did a factory reset, unchecked Voice Enhancement and Call Privacy in Settings > Call. It seems to help, but did not "fix" the issue.

We have an anti-glare screen protector (the sticky sheets, not tempered glass).
Verizon is replacing the phone with the most issues since the factory reset only temporarily fixed the call issue. Then the calls degraded the rest of the week. We did not receive the replacement yet, so I have no clue as if it is fixed.
As an aside, the other G3 seems to be doing better with calls. It does fade in and out a little but not to the extent as the one being replaced.
I would try a bluetooth headset. The only caveat is I've had issues with the Jawbone Era but not with my car (go figure). The Jawbone also gave me problems with the Galaxy S3, so it may be a bad combo.
If your right handed like me I find when holding the phone I tend to put my pinky finger under the phone, covering the mic. I now am more aware of my placement.

I had this same problem on my G2 and now my wife is reporting it is happening on my G3. I know the problem but I don't really know how to fix it.
There are 2 microphones on the phone. one on the top and one on the bottom. Whenever I angle the phone against my ear too far and the top mic gets covered slightly, that is when my wife reports that I am muffled.
This would also happen when I would hold the phone against my ear with my shoulder to have both hands free. The top mic got covered slightly and she couldn't hear me.
I don't understand why the top mic affects the sound quality so much, but try it out with someone on the phone and cover the top mic. see if it muffles.
If this keeps happening, just make sure that you aren't covering the top mic and you should be fine.
If anyone finds a software fix to better balance the mics I would love to know about it.
Both my wife and I have had our Verizon G3s for about 2 months and have been dealing with this issue.
At first, we thought it might be the fact that we're on a network extender, and that it was only affecting my wife. That's when I realized it was just that I was using bluetooth and that she was not.
Since then, the problem has happened in nearly every call I've made directly using the handset. I never know when it's going to strike, so I've gotten to the point where I almost do not want to use my phone for actual phone calls anymore.
I absolutely dread calling Verizon. They're going to run my through their idiot algorithm of bs and pretend like they've never heard of this problem before.
I've had at least two people tell me they couldn't understand me. If I talk much louder, they've said that they can hear me again.

Yeah... it's completely unacceptable.
I want to understand the problem before I just blindly return the phone. That doesn't seem to have helped others much....
I'm having similar problems. See this thread:

It seems, at least from very early testing, for me it does not fail using BT.
Also, is this only a Verizon problem?
Anyone else on a different carrier having these problems?

If you have the bluetooth on and it's unconnected, you will have issues with people hearing you. This is after wasting time with Verizon "technical support" for a month. My solution posted on another thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55655465&postcount=13
If you want to leave the bluetooth on, then use the speakerphone on calls. It works, although not practical in public spaces.
This solution is for using the G3 as a phone, without a headset. I'm not a fan of headsets.
The last VZ rep pretty much admitted this is a software issue and had no idea when an update will be issued.

I don't think we're talking about the same issue. My wife and I both have VZW G3s. My bluetooth is on 100% of the time (out of laziness, as I only use it in the car), but hers is off 100% of the time. We both have the same issue with people saying we sound like we're underwater at times.
God... I wish it were that simple, though. I will try it, just for ****z and giggles.

I have actually had the problem using the speaker phone as well but NEVER with a BT headset.
As an update, I called Verizon today (BestBuy Phone) and they went through the usual BS which I played along with. Check settings, signal etc. So finally, they asked me to do a factory reset, which is something I had not done since I have a few corporate applications on the device that are highly secure and difficult to re-install.
I balked but VZ said LG won't even talk to me if I hadn't done that and that they have seen this problem where a hard reset fixed it.
So I'll be a monkey's uncle but so far, so good..... I seriously can't believe this will last...
Phone is 100 percent stock with no other applications added.
I made about 10 calls today and only one complained I sounded tinny. Might have been a bad connection though. Ever other call was crystal clear according to people on the other end.
I also had my wife call me from the phone and talk for 20 minutes while I listened using her iPhone.
Again crystal clear.
Is it fixed?
I don't think it will last but I'm giving it another day before installing my applications one at a time.
I doubt anything I'm using mucks with the phone but you never know.
I'll post back in a day or two.
Ok so I am on day 2 after VZ told me to factory reset and I made 26 calls today and only had one person tell me I sounded garbled. I might have gotten lazy and had the phone on say a 30 degree angle from my ear because re-positioning the phone did fix that one.
The factory reset definitely did fix something because prior to it I was getting complaints from like 2/3 or more of my callers. Now it seems much, much better.
I'm still not convinced it's fixed but I did start installing my applications.
Nothing fancy, waze, facebook, Lotus Travler (work). I want to see how it goes today (Thursday) with these applications installed and see if the problems return.
I'll update tomorrow.
I've had less people say they couldn't hear me but one thing I've started to notice on almost all calls now is I hear a little bit of static when people are talking. I'm not sure if this is a common problem or not. I didn't notice it for the first couple weeks I had the phone.
Since my phone is less than a month old, if I complain and call to get a replacement will they send me a refurb?
