Hi all
Am I the only one experiencing microfone problems on my new galaxy S3?? Im on my third I9300, because of this issue...
People complaining about that the mic vol goes up and down...
I'm also facing similar issues. I'm going to get mine replaced also.
First of all guys make sure 100% it's not the mic. Record some song and see if you still have the problem. I was facing similar issues with the mic going up and down durring calls.
In my case it was the simcard. Don't ask me why, because the same simcard was working fine in another phone, but after getting a replacement everybody said that they can hear me a whole lot better.

I am going through the very same issues.
I had a mic problem with my first S3 during phone calls. It was really annoying me because I couldn't do anything about it everyone was saying they couldn't hear me etc.
The sim I am using is an British UK O2 micro simcard that I used in a iphone 4, cheap samsung, and samsung S2 previously with no problems at all.
I then returned the phone to the T-mobile shop retailers, they said it was rare and not a common fault.
My new one is doing the exact same thing, I didn't update it nor is there a new update.
Can someone please help. Thank you.
I am getting the same issue but not everytime. I am sure that it is not the fault in mic that is causing this problem, as i recorded my voice (using both mics, the one at the top and at the bottom) and it was crytal clear.
turn off Noise Cancelling... fixed my problems
same problem
Had the same issue ,also with the s 2 , but the trick then (witch also worked now ) was to turn off the noise cancellation .
During a call just take the phone away from your ear and under the callers picture there u will find the option to do so
I have literally just started having the same issue today.
Am on FoxHound Rom 1.4 with Siyah Kernel. Had no problems, even made calls last night, perfect.
Then I tried switching Fast Dormancy on, flashed stock kernel and this morning I find when I made calls to Orange customer services, they were saying they couldn't hear me.
Tried testing it myself, and no matter who I call no-one can hear me.
I've tried:
re-flashing rom, kernel
Tried latest stock roms such as I9300XXBLG8_I9300OXABLG8_I9300XXLG8_HOME.tar.md5, none have made a difference. Even Roms I had backed up in clockworkmod that were working perfectly, like CM10 preview and CM9 have stopped working.
I've tried disabling Noise reduction, which has had no effect. Tried factory reset, flashing modems, kernels, roms, stock roms, nothing has made a difference. I can record video, google talk, anything else fine, just not get anything from the mic when making phone calls.
Tried putting a friends 3 SIM in, and the same thing, so it's definitely not network related either. I definately hope it isn't a hardware fault, as I bought mine on ebay and it isn't insured. Was kinda hoping for more than 2 mores usage out of a phone :crying:
Hi all, I pray someone can help me, I have just bought a ZTE V967s and am on the whole pretty happy with the phone. The problem I have is that it keeps disconnecting from the mobile network when I switch between sound output device ie bluetooth to phone speaker or ear piece. Any ideas how I can stop this?
thanks in advance

Anyone able to help or shed light?
ANYONE?! Anyone had this issue with another phone before? Tried about 6 ROMS - inc the stock rom all with the same problem, interestingly it only happens with bluetooth, speaker to ear piece and back makes no difference.

I have the exact same problem with 2 sims.
I have tried 1.0.5 and Max Smart v3 (4.3) and i still have it...
I am trying to find a patch or something but still unlucky
Do you have Sim lock enabled? If so try turning it off seemed to cure the issue for me

I dont think that this is a cure.
It's still disconnects from both sims. If I have another call on hold I will lose it.
This is the only bug I have found in this phone.
Okay guys, this entire month I have been considering getting rid of my G2. Will try to keep the story short.
About 4 months ago, I sent my G2 (D802) to repair center. Issue was: at times, people could not hear me during calls. They ended up giving me a completely new G2 few months ago. This week alone, I have experienced at least 5 times where people could not hear me. Only workaround when this happens is to turn on speakers (however, everyone next to you will hear the conversation which it is not exactly great).
Getting sick of it. Calls. I repeat, CALLS I can not even make properly with this phone. Everytime I pick up the phone/call someone, I have to wonder if they will be able to hear me.
Currently I am on completely stock unrooted 20H KitKat, I have tried lollipop firmware but the issue remains. Happened on KitKat 20D too. There's a chance the issue is not on Jelly Bean but I have not tested that because I don't really want to be on JB.
I assume I am not the only one on this boat seeing as the issue is reported by a lot. Share thoughts, possible solutions, etc.
@eepyikes @vPro97 join the discussion.
What kind of cover do you use?
_____________________________________Read more write less and be smart
Are you covering your mic with your finger maybe?It happens easily on g2.
No cover is being used. Pretty darn sure I am not holding anything over the mic. But I'll pay more attention to that from now on.
Look at how many people have reported this issue...

I have the same 'hate' to the gps of this phone but..this phone is great all is working great and fast after 1y and 4m..only the gps is super weak.
had you think that maybe your signal/phone provider is to blame? if signal is weak you should try another sim card or another place

Nah. Changed provider about two months ago. Same same.
I have an issue when people are not able to hear me, and it always happens if i want my hands to be free and phone is held between my ears and shoulders(Maybe some issue with noise cancelling or misaligned microphone). Otherwise it just works fine.
This may help you....
If you have turn on "Ok Google "detection from any screen!
I have faced similar problems...I thought that was hardware issue but When I turn off that feature My G2 was back on form and now they can hear me properly
Or another way to get rid away of this **** is to try custom rom also......
i have that problem with ANY stock or stock-based rom..... which is why i got fed up and installed CM12 permanently...... the "ok google" detection thing didn't work for me.... i tried taping the top mic but then i ran into random issues where the mic fails if loudspeaker is on.... no such problems with CM...

I asked in one thread if CM/AOSP ROMs had the same issue. Never got the answer until now. Thank you. This is probably the only solution.
Personally, I usually prefer stock based ROMs but that is about to change.
Note: disabling "ok Google" to fix it is only a myth. It does not help. Tried that and so did many others.
Sent from my LG-D802
and to be honest because of this i hope CM doesn't get the 2nd mic working. lol
It's the Google now detection, open Google now, goto settings and turn off From any screen
Maybe there is some dust or some other stuff in the small holes where the mic is which is making your voice more quiet or almost completely mutes the sound you are trying to record.
You should try and DISABLE Voice enhancement at Settings>Networks>Call..
it helped my whatsapp voice messages to be played clearly
Have had 5 G2s for different reasons and never ran into a Mic problem.
Have even used various Roms from stock JB to KK to Optimus G3.
Am on Tmobile and used nothing but D801s.
All have been white.
Not sure if that helps
There's hope for you if you're able to sell and replace your phone with another used G2 in mint condition
My experience is, once you've done a repair and things look botched, change the phone.

Have you tried increasing the volume of the mic by editing the mixer_paths.xml.

I had the same problem after i've bought my G2 last year. Even asked in offical german LG forum but got no answer.
Solution for me was flashing custom kernel (dorimanx). Since that time i've alway been on custom rom (stock and aosp) and never had that problem again.
Wich rev do you have?
Hi guys,
Please help in resolving my problem.
Its been a year since I started using my e970. Lately I m facing this problem that in call volume is too low. I am not able to hear anything during a call if I m outside in traffic.
I had not faced this issue when I newly bought this phone a year back.
Please suggest if it's a hardware problem or some software issue. My phone is rooted and i m running unofficial cm 12 ROM with solid geeb kernel.
Hello,
I just received the Vernee Thor E.
There is a big problem with the phone. When I call someone he can barely hear me.
My voice is just too low even when I speak very closely to the mic. The quality is also very bad compared to the Samsung Galaxy S7 of my daughter or others phones.
I have différent phone at home: LG G3, Xaomi ReDMI S1, etc... I never had a problem like this.
Any suggestion or help
Best regards to all ready me.
Thanks

Yes I dit the update
Do you have a pair of earphones with a mic? That way you can tell if it's software or hardware at least.
My Thor E hasn't had this problem, I just had a quick look at the settings to see if there is a way to turn up the volume on the mic, but couldn't find one.

How to fix it?
Low mic volume during call
I've got the same problem. However the mic works fine when using WhatsApp and other internet voice calls. The problem seems to affect only regular calls. Regular calls over bluetooth handsfree and jack headphones works just fine.
Hard to say if the problem is sw or hw but the mic alone definitely works. I noticed that the volume sounds fine at the start and then gets lower.
There is another forum trying to solve this: attp://bbs.vernee.cc/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=1963&extra=&page=1 (change the a for h at the beginning as I can't post links as a new user ;O] )
Someone recommended to turn off and on the speaker button during a call but it doesn't fully work for me - it gets a bit better but goes high and low and thus is unusable. Tried several times on both ends of the call.
edit: someone on the other forum says the problem is sw and will be solved soon via update... I guess we will see (or not ;O] )
edit2: problem solved with firmware update Thor_E_20170615
Same problem here but the 0615 update did not solved it.... it seems that the mic volume starts fine, gets lower, then fine and again gets lower in waves... it is very annoying... does anybody have a good solution?
I had just received the Thor E and I had the same problem, I temporarily fixed it by disabling "Ok google from any screen".
Other people reported to have solved the issue by altering the volume levels with the app MTK Engineering Mode (I don't know if I'm allowed to post links to other forums, anyway if you search on google you should find something)

I can confirm removing "ok google" on every page facility this solved a number of problems for me too.
Lastest update here, 0615, I've totally disabled Google Now and I still get a very low volume on calls
Thor E multiple issues
Just bough the it last week from a reputable seller I thought. Out of the box issues with first sim slot non functional, only 2nd slot took sim, meaning no extra storage.
Sound / mic issues as listed. Got 2 OTA and updated.. still same issues remained. Seller asked me to do recovery by pressing power and volume and choosing recovery. Failed as I get android with exclamation mark saying "command not found"
Seller refused return postage refund...
Found official rom on vernee site.. updated / downgraded to 20170615.. now camera issues, back camera gone, front camera upside down..
Really unhappy and clueless
I have bought the Phone in the last days, got 2 OTA and updated. I dont know before, but now I have no Sensors ( NO Compass, NO Gravity).
Today I received a new Update (Thor_E_20170704) but the same Problem.
PS: I have tried to downgrade the ROM to Thor_E_20170524, but it´s not working.
If I downgrade with Flashtool there are no Errors and it shows that all okay, but I cant boot the Phone after Flash, the Phone is pernamently off.
So I reflash the ROM Thor_E_20170615 but No Sensors. Any Solutions?
a friend of mine solved the volume problem with a factory reset.

i've got another problem.
i've installed twrp and i forgot.
when i've done the update (june) it loops to twrp and recovery mode is unavaiable...
Vernee thor E
I have the same problem with this phone...
I really don't know what's wrong with that??
It´s a Firmware bug since Thor_E_201706XX
At this moment the Thor_E_20170524 firmware is the best option.
The latest OTA update Thor_E_20170704174452 is a catastrophe.
The twrp does not work anymore with Thor_E_20170704174452.
Someone is trying to fix this issue.
IMEI problem?
How do I get my IMEI back?
Enter this code in the dialer
* # * # 6813 # * # *
Enter your IMEI
Restart
Hi, big issue. Had this new phone in my hand for an hour or so, then I decided to update the firmware ... 5 minutes and then PUF. Cell dead. No way to turn the phone on. no light, no led ... nothing...
I bought Vernee Thor E about 2 months ago. It was working fine until i upgrade it. Now issue is with voice calls. Whenever a call is going on it stops my mic function, i need to switch on and off the speaker button to re-transmit my voice. It just disable my mic when i press any button shown on dialer while on call it make mic available, and it happens after every 2 to 3 minutes of call.

I have no fix, just workaround that works for me. When calling I switch to loudspeaker and then back to normal and then mic works.
