There has been similar but not exact posts to this. The issue is the serious lack of sensitivity change with the S3's mic. Recording a video for example, is a nightmare. The sound quality is garbage and always has been with all galaxy models. My first Samsung Galaxy S phone i had, had a firmware hack where VoodooSound could control the sensitivity of the microphone and it went from awful to perfect!! Is there anything similar i can do with my phone? The mic is just way too sensitive and just cracks the f*ck up in any situation louder than conversation volume.
Currently running CWM 6+/Cyanogen Mod. All up to date.
Any help and information would be greatly accepted.
Cheers guys!

Given you're running cyanogenmod, I would say that might be an issue given all the problems with that on the s3

It's really not. The microphone issue is exactly the same with or without the mod.

Ever since i started using the gs3, people are saying my voice sounds really muffled. I am using the omega 5.1 rom. Is it the phone at fault or the rom?
This is pretty much the easiest test ever. How would someone on a internet forum, know if you got a defective phone? Instead of asking people who can't help, help yourself and install stock ROM, then see if that fixes it. That was your question, right?
I use the Omega 5.2 and dont have problems, try another rom and see if the rom or the phone

Check this thread.
Im sure it will solve your muffled voice problem.

It appears that the HTC One stock ROMs suffer from the same bluetooth audio distortion that was plaguing the N4 and other AOSP 4.1.x and up ROMs until recently.
Can someone please test some mp3 audio that is:
- Local on their device, bitrate higher than 256kbps
- streaming to a set of good speakers that can reproduce high frequencies well
Play some Led Zeppelin or jazz that has lots of cymbal work, or some vocal music, and listen for distortion on the cymbal crashes or the 's' or 'ch' sounds.
I don't believe it is just me. HTC One Sprint users are reporting the same. I just want to make sure it isn't just them and my unit or something.

I can confirm it does. Had the Nexus 4 and right now I'm using the HTC One (unlocked). Thinking of getting rid of it since my T-Zones does not work with it.

Sigh. 3 steps forward, 4 steps backwards (at least for me). That distortion is terribly grinding on the ears.
CM10.1 will save me! When it is released...
Just FYI, tested with AOSP CM10.1 ROM and the problem is gone. It's definitely a bug that exists in the stock Sense 5 ROM.
I thought I was the only one (no pun) with this issue. It's very annoying. I hope the stock version gets fixed soon.
Anyone with the recent sense updates have any improvement on this front?

Doesn't make a difference. Using the 4.2.2 ROM too. Sorry for the late reply bro.

I have a Sprint HTC One, but the Bluetooth problem is the only reason I keep going back to ViperROM from CM10.1. My Bluetooth (Jawbone ERA) works fine for music and other media sounds, but phone audio is completely messed up. My speech is not getting picked up at all, and the remote party sounds garbled. I also tried disabling the WiFi per your request, but that had zero effect. I went from a 5/27 nightly to 6/19, but the Bluetooth phone audio issue has remained.

I have a T-Mobile HTC One and same deal... had Dirty Unicorns installed and bluetooth music/etc worked great, but phone calls were just a fuzzy, distorted mess. And since I still use my phone for calls (and rely on a headset for work) it was unusable.
Right now I'm rocking a stock rooted ROM since I haven't found a ROM yet that works well enough to be my daily.
Hi guys,
My htc one's in call volume is absolutely way too low. I hear alot of white noise and I can hear the person. Its like the persons voice fluctuates. I thought the little speaker holes might be dirty so I blew on it to get any dust dislodged. I even had a screen protector on that I took off.
At first I thought it was the people I was calling, but its happening to every single call.
Please help!
Same issue here.

Is your phone 100% stock, rooted, google edition rom? How long has this issues been going on for? Have you master reset your phone or ran the stock ruu software?

Sorry, I forgot to mention this!
I am rooted using android revolution HD with elementalX kernel. I have not ran the stock software. I honestly have done so many customizations to my phone that I dont want to reset at all
Also, I think this has been going on since I got the phone, but to be honest I cannot be sure. I did not use it to make calls often until now. I've had it for about 2 months now.
I experienced the same thing on 4.2.2. It was fine on stock.
My call quality and performance improved once I flashed the radio firmware and RIL files from the latest AT&T leak; you might consider doing the same. The first link is not flashed in recovery but starts in fastboot (see the post's instructions). The second link is flashed in recovery. Doesn't really matter which you do first.

+1 This works !
On stock, the call quality is low compared to my old Note. Might be software related because boom sound is loud when playing music.

I have a LG Optimus G e970 AT&T phone.
I have a little and maybe rare problem.
When I have a call phone, people dont hear me, only with loud speaker, in normal mode dont.

Anyone have any idea or know somethig about it? I will appreciate any help.
Thanks.

Im sorry, I was seek, and about the question, I charge my phone with the original Batery charger and the correct volt I Think.
I'm having a similar problem with my AT&T LG Optimus G. I had been running the phone on houstonn's RootBox 7-20-2013 (4.2.2) build and most things worked alright (problems like NFC not working, randomizing Wifi MAC address on each boot, and poor battery life). Last night I tried flashing the latest Paranoid Android ROM 4.3.1 ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2228880 ) and everything seemed to work much better. NFC worked, Wifi MAC address would stay constant on reboots, and "Android OS" didn't use more power than the display. I just found out, though, that the mic and earpiece don't work during calls (though you can hear keytones when you dial a number during a call). When you put it on speaker or plug in a headset, then the mic works. I've tried wiping, reflashing, and updating the modem to 20j. Any idea how to fix this problem for 4.3.1?
A note: the phone had had the Nexus 4 conversion done to it previously and I returned it to stock before rerooting and flashing these roms. I think the Nexus 4 conversion messed with some of the advanced settings and they haven't been restored properly (hence the random Wifi MAC).

I have the same issue on my E970 on every single 10.2 based roms i have tried.. only speaker mode works on calls (or else headpones)
the in phone ear piece doesnt work at all..
anyone know of a fix for this.
btw im on T-mobile if thats the reason this is broken
If software mods do not fix the issue, you will need to replace the charge port flex. The microphone for normal calls is at the bottom of the phone right next to the charge port. It is an easy fix once you get it open and taken apart. I have done a few already.
I had some problems after flashing slimkat
I just flashed to the slimkat alpha rom and had some issues with the front faceing speaker. So i woud have to take my calls on loud speaker. I found a hybrid radio trying to get LTE working on tmobile and found that my issue was fixed after i flashed that hybrid radio. It may help.

I will try all solutions and I will see which one works, many thanks and I will let u know what happend.

It is a hardware failure. The same thing happened to my girlfriend's LG G2 after a couple weeks and we had to return it. The second G2 she got has worked fine ever since.
But hey, that's the G2, not the Optimus G, so it maybe different. I've just noticed more than the normal amount of hardware failures on some LG models. My first LG Optimus G didn't get LTE, and (long story) after accidentally having the phone fall off the top of my car and shattering the back gorilla glass into a million pieces, I bought another LG Optimus G. The _second_ LGOG did get LTE right out of the box! Go figure! Same exact model, same carrier, even the same SIM. So there was obviously something wrong with the LTE radio of the first one right when I got it (I never returned it because I never actually read the specs to find I was supposed to be getting LTE all along, lol).

LTEHybrid33-54.zip solved this for me. Sorry, no link, but I found it here somewhere. I suspect the 33-84 one would work as well. It was like magic, after I was thinking I got screwed by LG again (don't ask about the G2x/P999).
I am currently running on Arrow OS if it matters. I had been using this Rom for about 2 months now and everything was fine. And today suddenly as I was listening to music it started to have a scratchy effect. It kept getting worse. Now its pretty much inaudible.
Is this a hardware issue? How can I fix this?
Thank you.

I know some Custom roms have this bug but ArrowOS did not list it under bugs so I assumed speaker breaking won't be a problem.
How much did it cost for you, if you don't mind me asking. and what custom rom are you using?
