[Q] Mic distorted (& echo) in voice call, fine while recording - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have an issue with my mic on my galaxy S2, whenever I call or get called, my voice sounds incredibly distorted.
It's not that it's too soft, it's actually quite loud, just very distorted.
My voice is also echoed while calling.
However, when I'm recording, the mic gives me a great, clear sound.
I've read up about it, but most people are complaining that the volume is too low, which absolutely isn't the issue with me.
Anyone have some solutions?
They're much appreciated!
Greets, Sean

[Q] Microphone off in call

Hello, i have this great mobile (SGS II), everything work fantastic. But today i call to few friends and nobody listen my voice. After activate loud microphone poeple listen me ok. But in normal mod nobody listen my screaming voice. I Turn off Mobile, but nothing change. Is any solution for this ?
*** I make factory settings / default settings and same problem. I record voice now and nothing to hear ( only very quiet voice in fahr ). Is this on reclamation ?
a few other people seem to have this issue. no solution. just try positioning your mouth differently on the microphone and see. or turn off noise cancellation during the call.

Pantech Burst Low Microphone volume in calls

Is there a way to increase the clarity and volume of voice during calls?
Pantech Burst with stock firmware ICS. Will installing CM10 fix it?
Using a MP3 voice recording app, it isn't bad. But during calls, the voice that's transferred over is terrible quality, static-y, and half the volume of a normal phone recording.
I have the same problem but I'm on stock 4.0.4. Microphone works fine if I use the voice recorder. However, on phone calls, my voice isn't picked up well (tested by recording outgoing message on my voice mail). I notice that if I cover the rear mic (don't know if that helps) and speak directly into the mic (which requires that I remove my ear from the speaker), my voice is picked up much better. However, this form of talking (where I can only hear or talk but not both at the same time) isn't practical in a conversation.

Android noise cancelling too good?

Hi guys, I'm developing an app at the moment, the idea is to be able to play a sound snippet during a call that the other party will be able to hear.
its all in place, except seem to have hit a bit of a road block, during the call, i press the button, the sound plays through the loudspeaker (very loud) yet the other caller hears nothing. I have disabled noise suppression in the call settings, that allowed me to hear a teeny faint. This is not music or anything so it doesn't need to be clear but is there anyway to get this working? I have tried speaker phone it didnt really make much difference either. Why is my budget phone with no noise cancellation features so good at blocking out any sounds it makes itself from the mic??

Low quality audio while in an internet call (Skype, Discord, ...)

I recently switched from an iPhone X to a Samsung Galaxy S9 and while I love the phone there is just one big problem:
When I'm in an internet voice call like Skype, Discord, etc... the audio is REALLY low quality. Like the bitrate is dramatically reduced or something.
I found out that if you call your voicemail and put it on hold during the internet call, the issue is temporarily resolved (until the voicemail automatically terminates) and you can perfectly hear the other side.
This is a really big issue for me and I'm out of ideas on what to do. Is there some setting in the phone that I'm missing to fix this?
Oh and something else that happens while in an internet voice call: ALL audio (except a phone call) quality is lowered. Even playing Spotify or Youtube or playing a game with sound is absolutely unbearable while on Skype with someone.
I'm using the default samsung AKG wired earphones.
Any advice?
Thanks!
I feel S9+ really having a bad internet connection. I'm not sure what it caused. My iphone 8 works well, but somehow It's reallly slow watching videos on S9+... However, voice call is fine.
I have the same problem.
For example if I listen to radio at the phone and somebody calls me via WiFi-Call or VoLTE, the radio quality is very limited. Also with the "call"-speaker. If the call is via the normal mobile network, the radio quality is perfect.

Question Poor in-call audio quality (muffled)

Hi everyone.
Just got my Edge 40 Pro and made a few calls on it, noticed a mediocre sound quality.
In-call sound is muffled and there's a general lack of clarity to it.
WhatsApp voice messages suffer from the same issue.
Problem is both on earpiece and speakerphone mode.
Also noticed that the network tones - the beeps you hear before the called person answers the phone - are unequal in length, one is short, the next one is long, and they have a reverb-like noise.
Other media like YouTube or Spotify is unaffected; in fact it's crystal clear.
Can anyone relate on this?
All things considered, I'm thinking there's some badly tweaked "audio enhancement" at work here.
Network operator is Iliad Italy.
Thank you
