[SOLVED] Call quality is good only with loudspeaker ON - Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers

Hello, I have a very strange issue , I wi be greatful if someone could help me.
When on a CALL , another person can barely hear me, voice keeps breaking up. Then When you turn ON loud speaker, problem suddenly disappear and all is good
Turn loud speaker OFF again, can't hear me properly again.
MIC tested and works fine with sound recorder.
Tried to to turn off LTE calling and disable late and other stuff
Tried to speak directly into mic, same thing.
Basically they able to hear me clearly only with loudspeaker ON . Weird
This is also strange as I seem reports where some people were complaining exactly opposite, that loudspeaker ON created problems. In my case call quality works when speaker is ON.

[SOLVED]
Found am answer on another forum. :laugh:
Basically Just had to clean the microphone hole with vacuum cleaner.
Still strange, how it works, as I wrote before, mic works fine when loud speaker ON, as and is very clear when using voice recorder. Somehow it very sensitive to any dust inside when used during a call.
But it did a job, can be heard clearly now without speaker ON or with.

I have the same issue its weird but I tried cleaning it with toothbrush and toothpick still nothing.. I will try the vacuum cleaner I hope it works.
edit:
It didn't work for me

Weird issues with mic volume *only in calls*

Hello,
I recently got a Galaxy S II i9100M model unlocked, and am trying to use a Rogers (Canadian) SIM card in it.
The phone works great, and I am love the phone. However, I am having a weird issue with calls that I am hoping someone can shed some light on.
The microphones on the phone work OK - I can use the Voice Record app just fine, and do speech recognition through Google's built in app and Vlingo just fine.
However, anytime I am on a phonecall, my outgoing voice can be hardly heard. I can hear the other person just fine but they can hardly hear me. It's like the mic volume is turned down or something is put infront of it when I call only. I've even tried using a wired headphone/mic combo to see if that would work, and no luck with that either!
Does anyone know why the mic would work fine, except on calls? I've already tried this fix with no luck.
I am still running the stock Bell firmware. Could the firmware somehow be detecting a different network and not letting me call? Should I try a different firmware?
If it's a hardware issue, I wouldn't be able to use the mic for voice recording would I?
As a bit of an update, I've tried new firmware, and still nothing.
Most recording apps and the speaker phone use the upper mic. I think the only thing that uses the lower mic is regular phone calls. Could be the rubber housing on the lower mic isn't seated properly. You'll either have to try a bit of phone surgery yourself, or take it to service to look at.
Thanks ctomgee. How would an external headset be affected then?
Do you know where I can find the info on fixing the rubber housing?
Oh, an EXTERNAL headset has the same issue? I missed that part. Hmm... That's weird.
As for the phone surgery, look at this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21314046

Microphone not working

I am on my 3rd HTC One and the microphone is still having problems. I've read other threads and none seems to provide a solution to the problem. People I talk to can hear me if I use speakerphone or a headphone, but not if I'm just on the regular headset. People can't hear me unless I scream really loud. Does anyone know how to fix this? I'm on stock rom.
Dumb question, does your headset have a mic on it? And have you made sure the volume is turned up with it connected?

My buddy is having the same issue. He is now on 4.3 and is still experiencing this issue. It's been occurring for a some time now. He is completely stock/never rooted. The phone itself has horrible mic quality when using the phone alone. If he turns on speakerphone or uses a headset the quality is crystal clear.
We did some playing around on how he calls and apparently it may be an issue with the noise cancelling sensor on the back of the phone (small hole). Try calling someone while covering and not covering this hole to test if your call quality improves. He ended up hold his phone while cuffing the back and it seems to be better. It's a dumb solution, but hopefully it works for you.
Does anyone know if there is an option to turn off noise reduction on the phone? Sorry for the question, i do not own an HTC One.

[Q] Crackling Sound On Speakerphone? Pls Help!

So I just got this phone recently, its the C6833 and when I am on the Speakerphone with someone it starts to crackle.
However when I listen to music its fine, that's really strange I think.
Is there a different speaker within that one speaker at the bottom for calls and a different one for Music?
If someone could please help me out on this I would really appreciated it.
Do you mean cracking and buzzing (interference) in phone call speaker ? My C6833 does buzzing and cracking .. and not only when I make a call .... but everytime. I hear it anytime I put my phone to ear. I think there is GSM antena, WiFi etc. and it is not shielded enough.
You have 2 speakers on your phone ... One is for phone calls and the other is for music, loudspeaker ...
I dont know what to do ... It is propably HW problem ... I dont want to be without my phone for few weeks

Yea like a cracking sound, but like I said it Only happens when I am on speakerphone making a call, when I listen to music its perfectly fine.
The Music and phone calls when on Speaker Phone come out of the same speaker at the bottom of the phone.
Also when I talk on the normal phone when making a phone call with the phone to my ear, I can hear perfectly.
Very very odd.
I have a static noise coming out of my speaker. I can hear it during
speaker phone calls and when playing music with the volume very very low. Try playing your music and turn down the volume and see if you can hear the noise.

Well when I play my music low like you said to do, I can hear a bit of static but no Crackling sounds.
When I turn up the music its clear with no crackling sound , its Only when making a phone call through the speaker phone.
I even tried to plug in earphones while making a call, and its perfectly clear, which sort of rules out static or reception.
The only thing I am wondering is if the small speaker at the bottom of the phone has two built in speakers within One speaker, one for the Music and one for the Speakerphone would be the only thing logical I could think of.
I think the static noise is always there but you can only hear it when it's quiet or the volume is low. There should only be one speaker. If you put your finger over it you should be able to figure out which one it is. I think the static noise it's a software problem does anyone have any idea?
Hi, I am also facing same trouble, so could you let me know how you resolve it?
I had this problem before. It should be a software issue. I was about to send it in for repair so I did a master reset of everything. The problem went away.. Saved me a trip.
