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:
Ok, i'm sure i'm not the only one having this issue. I'm stock and currently on the latest OTA and for some reason my phone likes to reset itself to max volume. I can almost always reproduce it with having headphones plugged in, playing a a song and when i open my dialer, it goes max volume. Its a persistent issue and i was wondering if anyone has had these similar issues and or possible knows of a fix? if its a known bug, then i guess i'll have to find a work around till another update is released . At the moment, i'm using Audio Manager to keep the volumes from changing again. I tried to recreate the issue again with the above process and it sounded like it was about to jump up then came back down so its working for now...just wish it worked properly is all. Anyone with this happening to them too?
Update: Ok, so i'm noticing when i start to have issues...i have my headphones plugged in and the beats app shows a notification...but beats is off when i check settings... possibility?
Update 2: Turning off beats and trying to recreate the issue no longer happens. guess its beats after all. guess i'll run without it for now. if its just me having issues and not anyone else, i'd appreciate hearing it from you guys to know what my next step should be thanks again guys!
Update 3: Damn it...went in with high hopes....still went to max volume when i went into the dialer....just didnt make my ears bleed since beats was off... i'm out of ideas...i wait for your responses....
Update 4: So i have not been able to stop looking for information and i found some other posts that helped. Alot of people were having issues with Tango. No problems now after uninstall! Hope this helps anyone that was having issues. Sorry if this was annoying >.< Now i know... (if it helped you, at least some good came out of it)
I've had the same issue on both mine and my wife's DNAs. We haven't used headphones with them though, so I don't think that's the problem. I have searched all over the net for tips and this is the first one that seems to work. Thanks!
yup...
I'm experiencing the same problem... Know what you mean about making your ears bleed. I use beats by Dre ear buds. Happened on my first DNA more frequently. I had it replaced after it was stolen. Didn't happen on the new one for weeks, thought I was in the clear. Will try uninstalling tango...
I would believe the idea about Tango. I used to have this problem all the time. I don't have Tango now and I haven't had the problem in a long time. Never knew or thought about Tango being the culprit. Thanks I will never go back and download it now.
Guys, I REALLY need some help here and I'm desperate. I'll give you some background info here. About 3 months ago I bought a used Transformer Prime, at the time I bought it I didn't realize it had CM9 on it, I didn't check out the tablet out enough. Now I'm not into rooting or flashing ROM's AT ALL...I couldn't care less about this stuff, just give me a product that works in stock form and I'll be happy. Now here's the problem, the speaker sounds like complete ass. I don't know if it's a hardware issue or if it's just an issue with CM9. Has anyone experienced an issue like that with flashing a ROM? I gave the tablet to a friend because "he knows everything" and jerked me around for 3 months with it, didn't even touch it so I'm on my own. I just don't want to go through the hassle of replacing a speaker that might now be damaged when it's a software problem.
I guess I need to know if it's possible that it's a software issue. The speaker volume is extremely low and very muddled. I have a feeling it's the speaker but I don't know. I don't know about enough of this stuff and no one wants to touch a tablet, for some reason if it was a phone the shops around here would be happy to help.
I might just sell this thing and take a huge loss and never cheap out on buying a used product.
Thanks guys.
I bought one of these models (EU version) 3 days ago and everyone complains about the sound of my phone. It seems that the voice is cut or distorted .:crying:
I am on a second unit because I thought this was a problem with the first unit but it seems to be a problem coming from the factory.
Does anyone have such an experience?
If changing the phone doesn't solve the problem what would you suggest me to do?
I believe this problem is related to the type of speaker that samsung chose for this handset, I have the same problem with calling. This sound is far from satisfactory.
First of all let me say I tried to use the search option. After redesigning the forum, honestly I don`t know how to use it. I hope I am not the only one who is confused with the new search.
Anyway about my real problem. Bottom speaker stopped working, actually it did work but the sound was so distorted with the low volume. I decided to buy a new speaker and replace the old one, which I did. But the strange thing, even with the new speaker, the problem still persist, basically it`s the same issue as with the old one.
Does anyone can explain to me what is actually the problem here, is there anything I could do here? Also to mention I received the update with the android 11 in the meantime, issue is still here.
I would really appreciate much your help here.
