Anyone else having problems with in call speaker volume? I can barely hear the other person and this being my work phone, it's.. well, disturbing. I'm currently on dirty unicorns with squid kernel 1.6g, though the problem has been there prior to this also. Any ideas?
exactly the same here

Do you guys found any solution to this? I have a XT1527 with the exact same issue on stock marshmallow, I did a factory reset and even take the phone to service where they replace the speaker and still the same issue
Same here. Motherboard got replaced because it randomly dropped sound (= speech sounded garbled), and it was very quiet afterwards. I got it to the shop again, they replaced the motherboard again, and it was again so quiet (so I guess that's the new standard)

Hi:
I just got my galaxy s2 today. The only and important problem i found so far is the Speaker ( the one we use for calling not music). I keep hearing the electric noise when i make phone calls. the noise disappear if i use the earphone. So, I am sure that something is wrong with the Speaker........
love this phone so much.
Can somebody help?
Thanks a lot!!!
Return the phone for a refund or exchange, the earpiece speaker is broken.
where was this phone purchased?
I bought it from clove
When I turn the volume down a bit the problem is gone.
It only happens when I turn the volume to max or one step from max.
Is that still mean there is a problem with my s2?
Thanks.

Does anybody know how to solve this?
this problem is still there no matter what.
Thanks.
Might be a dumb question but whatever.
Are you connected to edge/2g? Are you next to a computer/wifi router?

NO I am having 3g or H+ from rogers, Canada.
it mast be something to do with the speaker because If i use the earphone the problem is gone.
is it possible that rooting caused it?
root did not cause it, the issue was probably always there. i really wish more people would reply saying if they do or do not have the issue as well, so we know if its common to all SGS2 units, or you just have a specific defect.
As per request..
No I don't have this problem and have used the speakerphone several times.
No problem with my earpiece speaker or my speakerphone
Not here but I do get the headset issue...though that's another thread..

awesome, there are some data points. max volume doesnt seem to crackle everyone's speaker, so maybe a bad batch is going around.
My SGS2 ear-peace crackles on max volume pretty badly - sounds like something is rattling inside. If I put it one or two notches below max, the crackling stops.
I also purchased from clove and live in Canada.
I had this issue with a nokia years back. I ordered and replaced the speaker and the problem was solved. It could just be that it was not glued-snapped down properly and this causes it to vibrate. real crackling is caused by a distorted diaphragm in the speaker.
Anywho, I also was wondering if anyone else has this problem.

I'm afraid to say I noticed this on my phone today. Turned it down a couple of notches & the crackle could no longer be heard. Far from ideal. Will have to check with clove on next steps, and samsung australia on repair cost if done locally.
Yup same problem here. The local samsung service centre technician says there's nothing wrong with the speaker, I guess he's just lazy to look into it.
I'll send it in again to another samsung service centre to have another look.
no problem with my speakers, but sometimes the earpiece sound does seem too low when receiving calls even if i have it on max volume settings
Have the same problem... Like the earspeaker is distorting and vibrating. It starts just when I call somebody, when ringing.... Tomorrow I will take it to hospital
ok I got back my phone from Samsung Service Centre, after a second persuasion they changed the front panel (whole LCD including the front speaker, not sure if the back speaker too, I don't know the structure of the phone).
And now, it's solved!! NO MORE BUZZING when making/receiving calls!
Definitely go ask for an exchange or a change of your panel guys! It's a HARDWARE ISSUE.
Hi there,
i have been noticing a very strange behavior in my phone these past two days...
my phone is on this firmware I9100XWKE7_CPWKD1_XXKE4 rooted with insecure kernel...
nothing fancy just regular apps
i noticed that when i call or some body called me the mic dosent work at all ...
he cant hear me
switching to speaker ... every thing is fine
rebooting --- no effect
connecting to the charger and then disconnecting the problem is gone -tested once-
Skype testing service ... the same problem the mic only work when in speaker phone
so after this i started thinking it is a software rather than firmware
any ideas ???
encountered the same problem with my gf's lg optimus 7. the mic was defective, there was a short circuit of some kind. had it replaced ( the mic) and everything worked good.
maybe there was some water or some sort of liquid that reached the internals.
nope no liquids ...
this is really annoying this is my 2nd phone the first one had a very loud noise on vibration
gonna do factory reset now
but it appears that when you scream really loud the phone will pick something probably from the noise canceling mic ...
i am out of uk now so going to samsung is not an option right now
so after a factory reset ... it appears that the mic is broken it dose pick very loud sounds though
This issue has suddenly appeared. I have tried stock rom (nordic) CM9 and different aosp roms and also different modems, but the problem always returns after half a day or something.
So I can factory reset my phone, make a couple of calls and everythings fine for awhile but then suddenly no one can hear me during calls. I mean there is no sound at all, dont think the mic is turned on. The sound can start to get poor (like im on speaker and far away from the phone) til it doesnt work at all.
I have testet the microphones using voice recorder and taking a video and everything works fine, so i refuse to belive that the mic is faulty. Although its even weirder that the problem still persists after multiple full wipes (format system, cache, data, dalvik) different roms. Probably flashed stock rom with odin 3 times now and the problem is still there. I am now running fully stock non rooted, ive reset the custom binary counter and im ready to send the phone in for repair.
Unless the community can help me out ? any replies are appreciated!
Thanks!
Note that I can still hear the other person but he cant hear me. Switching to speaker and it all works fine ?!?!
What happends when i switch to speaker? does the phone switch microphones aswell? I understand that theres a mic on the top and bottom.

Yes. Regular voice calls use the lower mic, speakerphone uses the top mic. So it sounds like either something is blocking the lower mic, or the lower mic has failed. If you're comfortable opening the phone up yourself, you can try re-seating the rubber housing that is on the lower mic yourself. If not, take it to a service center.
Returned from repair
So guys I received med phone back from repair yesterday and the following parts have been replaced:
Module-RCV+MOT+MIC+E/Jack FPCB (GT_I9100)
ASSY ETC-SUB FPCB (GT_I9100)
And guess what, the problem still persists, my first phone call worked fine, but then the second call failed just like before?!?!!?
Is it possible that there is another hardware fault thats causing this?

Bump..... anyone???
Hmm. Maybe the rubber housing on the mic slipped after the first call, and is now blocking the mic. Or the part failed again. Or did you maybe put a case on the phone after the first call?
I've been struggling for a few months with this 2 issues.
The first and more important is the rear speaker. I usually have my phone in silent/vibrate state so I cannot be sure when this problem happened. But the rear speaker is so low volume. I started to think it was because I was running a CM based build, so I've flashed Viper, still low, flashed stock and still low. There's no distortion or anything like that, it's just very low.
The 2nd issue is that people complain a lot that they can't ear me well, so I assume mic is having problems too.
Is it possible to be software related ? If not, does anyone knows if HTC offers international warranty or some kind of service ? I'm from Portugal and bought this 2nd hand last year, have no kind of purchase proof. Only have phone+box
Hi Guys,
After almost ditching this phone recently due to several frustrations I recently took the plunge and installed [OFFICIAL][7.1.2] Resurrection Remix 5.8.5 with OMS by gwolfu.
So far it seems fantastic and I've managed to resolve the slow charging issue by updating the bootloader and modem to the 20V version and flashing the qc-typhon-h850-M6 kernel.
However my device is plagued by an issue where calling is virtually impossible, which is kind of an error seeing as the G5 is....ya know.....a phone.
When I try to make phone calls I can barely hear the person on the other end (i've checked the volume) and if I turn on the speakerphone they can no longer hear me. Even if I turn off speakerphone they can't hear me anymore after activating it.
Does anyone have any ideas how I could fix this?
It's literally driving me insane that there's such an amazing, smooth ROM which has extended my battery life something crazy but it's plagued by such an annoying issue.
Any help would be HUGELY appreciated
Bump?
I have a similar problem with LineAgeOS 14.1 on my H850 :/
I have a problem where mine doesnt work on the main mic, but as soon as I turned on speakerphone then the other person can hear me. Its very headache inducing because I use telegram and it uses the main mic therefore recording voice is useless. I literally took the plastic shell off of the part that everything with the charger, speaker, and mic is located and nothing blocking it.
I got the replacement module for the g5 and that still did not fix it. I dont know what to do.
EDIT: I just now found out that after taking out the motherboard, there was a red sticker covering some golden connectors, after taking that off fixed it. No idea why there was a red sticker there but please check and if it is there then take it off. itll be on the other side of the motherboard..
