LG Spectrum - Microphone and Speaker issues in a call

I have two LG Spectrum phones and both have the same problem. First problem: When in a call and using Speakerphone, voices over speaker on Spectrum are distorted / garbled unless volume is reduced to lowest 2 settings. However, playing music over the speaker at full volume works without issue. It appears the incoming Verizon Network Voice amplitude is too high and is overdriving the speaker. Second problem: The microphone volume is too low which causes cutouts and muffled volume to the other person. However, when using speakerphone mode, the microphone volume is significantly better to the other person, but still have "First problem" with Speakerphone listed above.
Is there a fix for these issues or will there be any software updates to resolve these issues?

So this seems to be a design issue that should be addressed by LG AND Verizon. We spent $$$ (although maybe discounted) and we deserve products that meet our basic needs, i.e. I bought a PHONE and should be able to use it as a PHONE, hence smartPHONE.
I also have 2 Spectrum's in which both have the same call quality issue of mumbling. Unfortunately we did not realize this to be such an issue and could not return them until 18 days after our purchase; and Verizon only backs their products for returns 15 days. Now we are stuck with 2 poor phone quality phones until we are "eligible" for another upgrade or pay full price (overpriced) for new phones. When we tried to return them on the 18th day the salesmen said the problem was the screen protector because it was covering the screen and the microphone was under the screen. Although I pointed out that in fact the microphone was not covered because it is on the bottom, hence the microphone hole. He said the only other option would be a warranty replacement. I guess my conversations with my wife will be limited to only a few minutes while I am traveling 2 weeks at a time for the next year and half, thank you Verizon for standing behind your products and taking care of your customers.
Sorry for the rant.

Microphone and Speaker

My microphone and speaker aren't working when I phone someone with my Blackberry Pearl 8100. The speaker works when I'm scrolling through everything but not when I phone some one. I don't hear the ringer when I phone somebody either. What should I do

Thank you, I just did that on your recommendation, no result, in the settings, I can not get any sound out of any alarm or ring tone. Same in the "manage" the ring tones.

Okay, for a novice (iphone for dummies) what steps to take and in what order to identify specific problem and resolve issue of dropped calls and/or bad connections. I have a 3g iphone4, I think. Where is best place to find that information so I can veri

You can call your wireless provider and talk to them about it.
You can restart your iphone, reset, your iphone and restore your iphone.

IPhone 5 battery life and speaker issues

Hey guys. Not sure if anyone else is having this issue but firstly. The battery life *****. And really *****. I let phone completely drain at least twice a month. Then fully charge it. Not a huge user but data I know eats it. We are talking literally within two hours of not using it and it will be down to 59%. Didn't expect this off a phone like this. iPhone 4S beats it hands down. Considering going back to it tbh.
Speaker issues are terrible. Tried the music on full pause. Then exit. Then test but still nothing. Rang apple they say its not a fault but why would other people be reporting it.
iPad 4 users. Do you have issues with battery life too? And very slow charge and very quick drain. This is a joke. Nearly a Grands worth of kit and you feel like your using a Nokia 3310.
#annoyed!

If tried techniques to get the battery to act right, such as rebooting by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears and it restarts, and those things haven't helped, take the iPhone and iPad to the Apple store genius bar and have the technicians test them to see if there is a hardware fault. Do that before the warranty runs out so you are covered.

Microphone and speaker /dev/ entries?

Dear all,
Which /dev/ entry corresponds to the microphone and which to the speakers?
I suppose there is a more general question which is "How can I find out which driver takes care of a given /dev/ entry?". ls -l gives the major and minor device numbers but how do I turn the major number into something intuitively meaningful?
I'm working on the premise that I can read a chunk of data from /dev/mike whatever that might be and then replay it by writing it to /dev/audio, whatever that might be. Is this accurate? Is there anything I should watch out for? Helpful hints on the format in case I want to convert it to mp3 or some other such format all appreciated.
Regards, Max

Try to perform a hard reset of the phone (Press and hold the HOME button and the Sleep/wake button until you see the Apple logo).
If that does not fix then Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings. If both these reset options fails then you might have to restore the phone.

A problem with the microphone (and speaker) in Multisim

Hello
I want to use the microphone in Multisim, the only problem is that, once I double click the microphone, all the buttons are greyed out (I can't press them). I tried to change several things in the control panel, but it still doesn't work, and I really need it. What should I do?
By the way, only the speaker can convert the sound to a voltage signal, right?
Another thing, I searched and saw someone else had the same problem as I had, but it didn't help me.
Thank you

There is a situation where the Speaker component will not work depending on your hardware. Nestor explained this to me. What he told me is that if your sound card driver "controls all the sound, speakers, equalizer, etc... windows communicates to that driver in order to generate sound... this is the thing that is not supported in LabVIEW. LV controls sound devices that are directly controlled by Windows only"
This is how he explained it to me and I hope he doesn't mind me posting this, but I couldn't explain it better than he did. This may be what is happening in your situation where the speaker is concerned.
I do not believe, based upon Nestor's explaination, that there is much that we can do about this on our end. It all depends on your hardware driver and if that driver is doing what Nestor says then unless you change your hardware to something compatible (which I am not willing to do) then we are both just stuck with what we have. I could be wrong about this last statement, but that is the way I am understanding what is happening.

Microphone (not speaker) issue

Hey Folks... overall, I'm just loving my iPhone. Activation was easy and syncing had no problems.
However, there does seem to be one issue. Unlike some of the posts I've read, I don't have a volume problem. I can hear everyone fine. But, no one can hear me. I have had many phone calls, and everyone is saying they can barely hear me.... may head to Apple Store today. Using a different microphone, like bluetooth through my car, was not a problem, but I don't generally use a bluetooth headset to talk.
Anyone having this problem?

Yeah, sadly I went today even though they were so booked that I couldn't even set an appointment for tomorrow. They of course wouldn't help without an appointment even when I pushed. I hate that I am held hostage by their undermanned service.
I checked again a few minutes ago and was able to setup an appointment for 6:30 pm on Thursday. So I guess I'll have a shiny brick for a couple more days.
They said the reason they were backed up was because they closed the genius bar for the tax free weekend Tennessee had this past weekend. I just happened to be out there this weekend as well. I have no idea why they shut down the genius bar and had people blocked off to three or four people at a time for the entire weekend. They weren't even that busy. I wonder how many sales they lost because of that unwise move.

Warranty cover in India - curve 9320 purchased from UAE - Battery, Body and Speaker issue

Dear Team,
I bought my new Curve 9320 from UAE 3 months back. I am currently in India and facing serious problems in
1. Battery life - very poor
2. Low call volume - speaker
3. Poor body cover- shaky
4. Trouble in setting up email account
These are problems from Day 1 but was not getting right forum to address. please help. I guess we can have it replaced or fixed at BB service centre (first we need to change the region from UAE to India etc etc..) Need clear guidance on how to proceed. Thanks a ton!
Warm regards,
Pradeep

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
You need to go and talk to the Service Center. No one here can tell you what their policies are in your case...only they can answer that. But prepare yourself for them to refuse...warranty service is very specific, and documented within your original purchase documentation. It is entirely possible that you must return the device back to the UAE in order to obtain warranty service.
But, again, no one here can tell you what that is, for no one here is associated with any of the parties involved.
Good luck!

Microphone and speaker no longer working after update to 4.3.3

2 hours ago i have updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 4.3.3
It is a standard, never jailbreaked or whatever, iPhone 4, which was running 4.3.2
After the update suddenly i heard no sounds when pressing any buttons.
I checked the settings, but everything was still the same.
I then tried to call a friend, but when the connection was made i neither heard him nor did he hear me.
After that i tried :
1) changing the ringtone, to see if any sound would come fromt he speakers : nothing
2) running the dictafoon, but when pressing record i get : no micophone available. Connect a microphone to record memo's
3) connecting a headset to see if that would work : nothing
4) connecting a bluetooth headset : nothing
5) restoring files and trying all again : nothing
6) restoring all and trying again : nothing
7) starting iPhone in recovery mode, resetting all (like it was a new iPhone) and trying again : nothing
Anyone got any bright ideas left ?

If you have restored in iTunes on a computer and the problem remains then it's a hardware fault and it needs to be repaired. When you update the iOS version on an iOS device it checks the hardware components, this is when it'll detect un-diagnosed hardware faults and the components will stop working... even if they were working previously

My iPod has a cracked, the microphone and speaker are fried, and the battery is almost run dry.

Am I better off going to an Apple Store to repair it or to just buy a new iPod Touch?

Apple will exchange it for a refurbished iPod of same model and capacity for this price:
Apple - Support - iPod - Repair pricing
Make an appointment at the Genbius Bar of an Apple store.

1.3.5.1 Updated, and Now Issue With Incoming Calls

Since updating to 1.3.5.1, any time I mute the ringer on an incoming call, it mutes the ringer until right before the missed call notification, but then plays the ringer again briefly. This defeats the purpose of being able to mute the ringer in the first place.
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

This occurrs any time I press the volume rocker key to mute the ring of an incoming call. After the initial time when it played an extremely brief snippet of my ringtone (factory installed "Older Phone" ringtone), it has randomly switched between the short ringtone and a electronic squeal noise.
Since I know the slightest software change can kill a seemingly unrelated feature, I'll try to be as detailed as possible. For my phone setup, it is completely stock (phone no.5 after misc. slider/screen/charger door issues, haven't had time to change anything yet) My ringtone volume is set to maximum with vibrate also on, system sounds are also set to maximum with the default tone. I have no non-app catalog programs or patches installed. I use a Touchstone back cover, although the phone was not on the charger when I noticed the issue.
The only downloaded apps on the phone are Pandora, Tip 'em!, Stop Watch, Fandango, Good Food, Mileage Monitor and gDial Pro (which has not been set up yet). With the exception of Pandora, none of these apps have been used since I received this replacement phone. They were all just automatically downloaded because my previous phone had them. I have e-mail accounts through Cox, Yahoo, and Gmail, none of which are synced to contacts, calendars, messaging or tasks. I do have my Palm profile and EAS through my work in a full sync capacity.
Hope this helps.
