I've had this problem for the last few weeks where if I try to record something or for example try to listen to a song using Sound Hound it doesn't appear to be detecting any external sounds. Currently I am on the newest Avatar rom which I love but this also happened on the AOSP xXx 1/9/13 rom. Any ideas?
When you are in a call try turning off Noise Reduction.
Thanks. That was it. In fact I tried this last night and was pleased to see it worked. I appreciate that you took the time to respond.

Problem is that noise reduction re-enables itself and you have to turn it off for every call. But at least you know where to start looking to fix the issue.
To add.....what kind of case do you have on your phone? At the top of your phone you will see a small hole about an inch from your audio out jack. That is the 2nd mic used for noise reduction. Do you have it blocked?

I read the SGS2 has noise cancellation?
Can anybody confirm if this uses the dual microphone approach as used in the Nexus and
some noise cancelling headsets?
If it does, I'm guessing there should be an additional microphone located away from the 'proper' microphone.
Thanks

Yes it does have noise cancellation. The second mic looks like it's at the top next to the headphone socket.
can anyone comment on the in-call quality with the noise canellation? the nexus s has very bad call audio in noisy environments. my nexus one call quality is superb with the second mic.
is the SGS2 very good in this regard?
He talks about call quality and it sounds very good.

Does it also reduce non-stationary background noise ?
Is this noise cancelling mic used as one of the stereo mic's when recording video do you know?
Does anyone else's noise cancelling mic seem to turn itself off? Every time i make a call,the screen shows noise reduction off even though its enabled,i switch it back on but when i make a call again its off.
Can anyone see if this is the case on there S2 to see if its a fault or a bug. Thanks.

When do you see that message? Is it when the other end answers?
Cant say I have noticed it.
Does it only happen on speaker phone or BT headset?
It happens when the other person answers,a squiggly icon appears on the left. If u press the menu button you can select to turn it off or on.

As I previously said, are you using speaker or a headset?
Or is this just a regular call, ie you hold the phone to the side of your head?
Oh, and where are the settings for noise cancellation?
thanks
its just a regular call mate.

When your on a call press the menu button and the option to turn noise cancellation on/off is there.
I can confirm I get the same
If you've turned it on while on a call then disconnected that call and make another call is it still on or has it turned off again? Mine always switches off..
Yep thats what I get
Do you think thats a fault, its a bit annoying that you have to turn it on every time you make a call..
Unless the icon with the line through the sound wave actually means that its cancelling noise?
Morning all,
Love this phone, love love love. What I'm worried about though is the in call volume on headphones. Doesn't matter whether I'm using the supplied Samsung ones or a set of Sony ones the volume is so low that the person at the other end is in audible.
I have no problems with volume on anything else (as in music player on in call volume using the actual phone)
Anyone else experiencing this or am I just very unlucky.
I've noticed this too. When having earphones plugged in the call volume is just too low. Last night I had to plug mine out and xall again because I couldn't hear her properly. Good point

this is absolutely the worst news possible, because i make 99% of all my calls with my headset. you guys are saying it is not usable? most of my calls are on the freeway with loud raod noise.
Post on here somewhere secret codes for volume ++

Not sure about volume with the earpieces with mic that came with the sgs2 but my sony earphones volume was quite low during call. I get calls when I'm listening to music a lot.

this app seems to have fixed it for me give it a try it ups the headset volume over default levels.. works fine for my sgs ii
i think you may need to be rooted to use it but not sure
Does it have HAC mode? Setings > Call settings > HAC mode. I set that on my SGS to increase call volume.
+1 on the issue, will try the apk tmo

Same issue and trying the apk now
tried it on my sgs2, and no change to call volume over headphones...

I would like to know about the "HAC" mode to, I wear hearing aids in both ears and it's important to me.

I wonder if this is connectd to another very frustrating problem I've just discovered. When I go out running, I normally have Spotify playing in the background and CardioTrainer occasionally prompting me with updates on how badly I'm doing. Worked fine on my old Galaxy S, now I can't hear the updates over the music because they are so quiet. I've tried fiddling with all the settings, and have also tried Endomondo and SportsTracker and they all seem to have the same problem. Anyone else tried this?
Fixed in latest update

Hey champ, you said this was fixed in the latest update but I just got my galaxy last week from Vodafone Australia and mine has this issue. What update fixed yours and does anyone else know about any fixes?
Fixed? In which update?
Hey,
I have this problem on my (sim-less) SGS2, and no update is available.
Any version number?
i'm having the same problem too. i currently use the stock headset, and am thinking of getting a BT headset as i get calls while driving. tried the app, did not help.
can someone one please help? it will be even better if voodoo sound is developed for i9100. *fingers crossed*
yep. same problem here!
Noticed it as well - on headphones Senn PX 100 II - very annoying (have to plug out the phones each time)
Also noticed the volume problem. The overall voice call quality is not great either. Can someone confirm if the apk. fix helped and if it needs the root access?
Whenever i Call someone, or respond to a call there is a problem while talking.
There is some kind of disturbance, but when i call talk through headset or loud speaker, it is alright then.
And talking through phone directly(No loud speaker or headset), there is a sign on the screen :S
Please help!
I think that is the noise reduction symbol. Next time, during a call hit the menu button and you will see the noise reduction option.
It almost seems like you have it set to off by default. What rom are you on?
I'm asking because many people, including myself would also like to have nr turned off. With it on and using a case, it can cause echo in the call. Its annoying having to do it manually every time.

Hey guys I tried searching for this topic in the forum but didnt find anything. On my note there are some times when the sound will come out through the earpiece instead of the back speaker. This happens randomly and the only way to fix it is to restart the phone then i get sound through back speaker again. Anyone have this issue? I'm running stock phone, the only thing i have ADW Ex. I dont have blue tooth enabled either.
Thanks for the help
There are at least two other threads about this ...in q&a I believe
Both our skyrocket and note behave this way:
When headphones in system notification is played on headphones and ext speaker
Ringtones are played over headphones only. We were using the video ringtone app though. Will test with system ringtones tonight
So far it seems to depend on what is playing the notification

Im not sure if any one else has this problem. I tried to search the forum to get a solution. But cudnt find any. I was using cm9 stable build last week and faced this weird problem that while listenin to music in car, my phone didnt play the ringtone when someone was calling me. Had the phone placed on the other seat and later saw that i had 5missed calls and my phone didnt pause the music to play the ringtone and it only vibrated. Tried using stock earphones. Still the same. The phone was only vibrating even though the sound wasnt selected to be off. Can anyone help?
