Hi everyone,
New user to XDA and Tapatalk so hope I'm not treading on anyone's toes. I've been browsing but can't see this mentioned anywhere so here goes.
I flashed my Note 3 SM-N9005 with Slimkat 8 and the latest mini gapps. Everything went well except for one strange problem. The earpiece speaker stopped working. If I tried calling out the other phone would ring but I couldn't hear it ringing on the Note. If the other phone answered I could not hear them.
Similarly, if the other phone called me when I answered it was total silence. No crackles or hissing, just silence almost like the speaker was switched off.
I then tried flashing Slimkat 7 and the speaker worked fine albeit a little quiet.
I'm very new to the wonderful world of rooted phones. I took the plunge a month ago. It's been a very steep learning curve including bootloops but I'm finally getting a grasp. Of the custom roms I tried Slimkat was easily my favourite and I'd be using it now if the speaker worked.
Has anyone else encountered this issue? Is it just a question of awaiting a new release?
Any suggestions gratefully received.

I have the same problem Note 3 SM-N9005
Not just me then. I flashed the weekly 8.4 build and the speaker seemed to work fine. I could hear stuff. Back tinkering with stock now. The joys of rooting [emoji4]

I install olso the weekly 8.4 with the beta google aps and no problem now so far.
But I prefure a stable version and no beta.

Hello all.
Since I am still a new user here, I cannot post in blackwing182's appropriate thread about this ROM.
I wanted to report a bug regarding headphones; when headphones are plugged in, the slightest movement of the cord or touching the jack itself results in small amounts of static that I can hear that are very loud to the person I am talking to. If this goes on for too long, the other person will no longer be able to hear me. Hanging up and calling them back is a temporary, but annoying solution to this problem.
I performed a full wipe and installed v7.0 of the ROM. I am on Android version v4.04 and running Kernel v2.6.35.14-CollectiveACE-BFS-v0.1.5.
If anyone can offer a solution to this microphone problem, I would be grateful. This ROM is perfect otherwise, but since I speak for hours at a time using a headset, fixing this problem is important to me.
Thank you.

It has fixed in 7.0
But v7.0 is the version I downloaded.
It didn't happen to me on ver. 6.2 and I haven't tried headphones on 7.0 yet. This could be a deal-breaker for me
I used my headphones yesterday. Moved around plenty and didn't have any issues. Might it be your headphones?

That static-y sound happens to me when pocket lint gets into my headphone input. Might try checking if something might have fallen in there.

No issues with version 7.0 either. Must be your headphones.
Think its your headphones bro. Stopped using icecold two weeks ago and never had the issue.

Callers at the other end have difficulty hearing me, and I've never been able to find a solution. At first, I thought it's the ROM I was using, but after flashing the stock rooted ROM, same problem. I'm using the correct baseband. I'll do a test tomorrow, returning the phone to factory condition with the latest images from Google.
Has anybody gotten this problem and was able to fix it?
Update: Back to factory condition. Issue still isn't fixed.
Newer update: Called Google Play Store via this number 1-855-836-3987. They'll be sending a replacement.
Bump. No one else has had this issue?
Bump.. Same issue here.. Stock unrooted

Maybe you can get yours replaced by warranty. I called Google Play Store (that's where I bought mine from) and I'll be receiving a replacement.

While i am not stock, I did notice this one time with my phone... like extremely LOW to the point i was pressing the phone HARD against my ear to hear.
Solution? I went ahead and flashed Paranoid Android 3.56 and flash the Louder volume MOD in the themes and apps section. That fixed my issue, I also know that not all of you will want to root, and that this SUCKS. but try to restart the phone.
Just root guys, this phone was made for that

Oh actually the issue I'm talking about is different. The ear piece volume is fine, but whenever I talk to someone on the phone, they can barely hear me unless I use speaker phone. I was actually using Paranoid Android, and I was being told I can barely be heard. So I flashed back to factory to see if it was a ROM issue. Sadly it wasn't.. On factory ROM I can still barely be heard.

Got my nexus 4 recently and i am also facing the same issue with some callers...not sure if this is a network issue or there's something wrong with my phone. Did the replacement solve your problem?

I'm having the same problem as well. Just received my Nexus 4 last week. They especially can't hear me if I'm speaking to them through my car speakers (3.5mm connection, not bluetooth). Wasn't a problem at all in the same vehicle with my Galaxy Nexus. Please let us know if the replacement worked better.

I am also having the same problem...my girl keeps shouting that she can not hear me..at first i thought some problem with network but than some of ma friends said same thing...whats the option now..?? i am from india and i imported it from US so cnt send back there..is anyone found any solution..??
I tried using headsets and the results were pretty much better..
Wish I could help. Just had to RMA mine today. Completely stock, no mic. Works when plugged in, sometimes, but for the most part no audio. When it is plugged in, the wife says I sound like I'm trapped in a bottle lol echo and static.
I had the same problem when I was running full stock. It was really annoying to hear "I can't hear you..." every other sentence.
This won't help if you do not want to root or run custom ROMs but since I switched to PA 3.56 and Matr1x kernel the people on the other end of the line haven't been complaining. I imagine for whatever reason it was fixed would apply to most custom ROMs and Kernels. I'll actually test this out this weekend and edit my post afterwards.
Edit: I made some calls to friends on PA/Matr1x/Radio .48 and everything seemed fine. I flashed full stock and called back the same people and only one person said they heard a noticeable decrease in the quality. That person also knew I was testing different settings on my phone so maybe they were messing with me.

i also switched to custome rom (Carbon) and have not had any complaint regarding the issue..still will confirm in sometime if the problem exist or not
Bumping an old thread ...
So my gf started complaining that she could barely hear me when I was using my Klipsch S4A headphones to talk--while in the car and in a quiet room. I was on CM10.1 at the time and I had read complaints from others with the same/similar issue on other ROMs, even stock/unrooted. I chalked it up to 4.2 and hoped 4.3 would fix it.
It appears that isn't the case. I just sacrificed root so I could flash a clean install of 4.3 (new bootloader and radio included) hoping it would at least mean I could have normal conversations with my gf again while the devs cook up CM10.2. How bummed am I to find out that the issue persists. I just called her from my office with my headset on and she said I "still sound far away." This is really frustrating. I never had this issue on my GNex.

I wish someone comes up with a solution for this.. I was hoping 4.3 would solve this issue also. Some say its cause of the noise reduction, isn't there anyway we could disable noise reduction?! I remembered I had that option on CM10 my i9300 but not on nexus 4 build.. This is really an issue for me since i always use headset for phone calls.. I was wondering if the original Nexus 4 headset would solve this issue.

What radio are you using? I changed to the .33/.84 hybrid here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2412052 and callers can hear me much more clearly.

Hi guys,
i found 2 "solutions" which didnt work for Nexus 4:
1: typing *#*#3646633#*#* into the phone to enter the engineering mode. "Should" work for all Android, does not for Nexus 4
2: the App "MobileUncle". Does only work for MTK Chipsets (Nexus 4 has another one)
my question: is there something like the Engineering mode for the Nexus 4 ?
Same issue on Nexus 5
FYI, the nexus 5 has the low input volume gain when using 3.5mm headphones with inline mics. I don't understand what LGs problem is with 3.5mm connections or why it was never tested.
started a discussion on in here
Any solution yet???
I have the exact same Issue, Android 4.4.2 and the issue is not fixed weird that only Nexus 4 has it. I am like you trying to find an app or a way to work around the issue, tried to install other ROM using rom manager and phone when SLOW as heck so no idea how to fix it yet, loud speaker to every single call is not the way to go

Hi guys,
I recently upgraded from the S3 to the S4 once I saw the S5 wasn't that great IMO. I just want to know if anyone feels the S3 had better volume when making calls. I will sometimes have people on speaker and I can barely hear them (I can but it's a strain) I never had that issue with S3.
I also feel like the vibration is softer, I've missed several calls when the phone was in my pocket or right next to me on the bed. Never had that issue w/ the S3.
I see a couple of audio fix and tweaks but it seem to only be for media audio than speaking on the phone. I've been searching for about a week and still haven't found anything solid. I tried Volume_Boosting_Sound_VERSION_2_VERY_LOUD and I guess with me running Liquid Smooth 4.4 this tweak doesn't play nice because I can't hear anyone when on the phone so I had to take that off.
If these questions have been asked I'm sorry, I did some searching on particular threads and only found those about media volume. I hope someone can point me to a fix.
Thanks.
For me.the speaker on the gs4 while in a call is better. Might just be me but I've had each phone for almost a year now. If you flash sacs ROM I know that comes with the volume boost.

Check out this thread for some help. And also look at this post to do the mod yourself.
As @daniel4653 mentioned a few of the latest ROMs already boost sound - Sac's, Negamann's etc..
I also use ViperFX and that works EXTREMELY well; but requires some tweaking (all of which can be learned on the viper threads).
Good luck

Thanks for the replies, I found ViperFx but I wasn't sure if it was just for Music. I did install it and i'm playing with it now.

Hey guys,
I just got rid of my note 3 for the s5 due to mainly the size and I'm noticing I'm having a horrible experience in calls. During calls the other person will go in and out, volume up and down, and some crackling. This happens when I dial out or receive calls. I'm rooted and have the new Alliance room on the device. Are there any other modems I might be able to try to fix this issue? Never had a problem talking to these same people on my note 3.
Or any thoughts on how to fix my issue?
Thanks,
Jonathan

I'm running the same rom but I'm not experiencing those issues and there's not another modem to try out yet.
Did you have the same problem on stock?
Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk
I had a lot of strange issues when I first got my s5. I had the camera ui get stuck upside down, random WiFi and 4G disconnects, issues with copying media to internal and extsdcard, lock screen/wake freezes... All sorts of problems. I ALMOST returned the phone. Instead I used Odin along with the ap and pit files to reflash the ROM. Haven't had any issues on stock or with safestrap and custom TW Roms since then. I'm also currently running alliance 1.1 and have had any issues with call quality or volume. I would try using Odin like I suggested, testing on stock, if there are still problems present then returning/swapping the phone if possible.
Sorry I couldn't be much more helpful than that. Good luck

Looking to update, wondering if there have been any issues with launch day notes like there were with the kitkat upgrade. I need Lollipop for Android Auto

Signal is just as good as JB if not better for me. And to update I just odin stock 4.4.2 NC4 from sammobile then re root and update safestrap to 3.75. And if you need anymore help all the videos you need are on this page https://www.youtube.com/user/SurgRisesUrg?app=desktop

I have 2 day one note 3's. One was on JB rooted, mine on NC4 safestrapped. My signal was pretty bad, but my wife's was fine on JB. updated both to jasmine stock 5.0.1 rooted and her signal is just as good as it ever was, but mine improved IMMENSELY after the update. I have better signal, and 3g/4G handout is much smoother.
Awesome guys, thanks for the info. Looks like I need to upgrade...

Upgraded just fine, all is good so far. Thanks for the input guys!
I found 1 issue. May just be me since I use the VZW Note 3 on T-Mobile. When I'm talking to an automated system and it wants me to press a button, it will not recognize it if my speaker phone is on. If speaker phone is off, it works fine.
No direct access to microSD under Lollypop
Still no access to apps and games, no way to move photos and music onto microSD without connecting to PC.
Launch day Note 3 here. Upgraded from NK1 then did a factory reset. No obvious issues until the first week in. Phone is noticeably snappier.
1. Samsung keyboard occasionally force closes. Once a week roughly, and I restart my phone every 48 hours.
2. Google play services random force closes-rare.
3. This has only happened once, but YouTube displayed all green while the audio was normal. Both in landscape and portrait mode. During this time, Netflix wouldn't play anything. Samsung Video player would crash as would VLC. A reboot fixed this..
4. The phone seems to switch to 3g at around -110DB now instead of -120. Cool story! This means instead of 1 bar of LTE at work I get 3g. Great. I get a weak signal outside my office building anyway, so no surprise but..
I ran Lollipop for a few weeks then went back to 4.4.4 because of these bugs...and the HIDEOUS orange in the messages app. Yes, I know I could've used another SMS app. I'll go back to Lollipop if/when they straighten this out in the next build (which the note 3 may very well not see for months)
