Noise cancellation issue causing headaches on i phone 5

thanks for your prompt answer if its the noise cancellation what can we do to fix this issue

The phone's noise canceling function is not configurable. You can't turn it off. Further more, you really do not have any evidence (or at least haven't proposed any in your posts) that this function is the source of your headaches. It could easily be caused by any number of things (and possibly not related to phone, much less the noise canceling). I'm certainly not saying you aren't getting head aches while using the phone, or that the noise canceling function isn't the casue, just that it isn't likely and that you shouldn't confuse proximity with cause and effect.
Try using the earbuds for calls for a while and see it that has an impact. Ihey do not include any noise cancelling. Not a sure test by any means, but might provide a clue. More importantly, you might also get a medical opinion.

IPhone 5 voice call quality fade in and out. Noise Cancellation interference?

I've been having this huge problem with the iPhone5. The evidence i've collected seems to indicate this is a problem with all iPhone5's.
On calls in certain places both indoors and outdoors, the callers voices over the iPhone5 fade in and out. Their voices occasionally completely fade completely away, and only come back momentarily. The low volume for 50% of the time forces me to raise the volume, but raising the volume does not help because when the voice does come back, the volume is too loud for my ears.
I went back to the Apple store and they are not able to help me. They suggested a clean restore, which I did. They offered to replace the phone, which I did, but it is the same problem.
- iPhone 5 vs. iPhone 4S, the fading does not occur. I make the call to the same voice mail system I have, and the sounds from the other side are consistently the same volume for the 4S, but fades in and out for the 5.
- I connected up a 8mm jack between my iPhone 5 and my mac in an attempt to record this problem. In that instance, the sounds from the voice mail DO NOT fade in and out. I did find out that the dynamic range on the iPhone 5 is MUCH greater than that of the iPhone 4S, for some strange reason.
- When I hold the phone up to my ear, the fading in and out does occur, but it is less noticeable. But it's still there.
- When I leave my work area the problem goes away. However, because the iPhone 4S on the same AT&T service does not have this problem, this leads me to believe it's NOT a lack of transmission power from the AT&T cell tower. Rather, it is a reception issue at the iPhone5 side.
- I turned off LTE, data and then made the calls. Same issue.
I use this phone to make 60 minute calls for conference calls frequently. I cannot use it. Please advise. I am seriously considering returning this phone. Except i've sold my old iPhone 4 already. I'm in a bad place. Please help.
Here's another post of a fellow with the same exact problem.
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1456404
Apple, please look into this. I believe this is a problem with the noise cancellation software.

I've got an update on this problem with fading volume. I've isolated it to the set volume on the phone for voice calls when using headphones. When the headphone volume is set between 1 and 6 (out of 16 squares) the callers volume will consistently fade in and out. The fading which is normal to zero volume at 2-5 Hz is serious enough that normal conversation is impossible. When the volume is raised above 6/16 then the callers voice stabilize and I can hear all their words again. Unfortunately, at 6/16 volume their voices are too loud for the headphones.
Furthermore, when headphones are plugged in, and I initial a call after the iphone5 was idle for several minutes, the first dial tone has preceded by a very loud pop an the tone, as though there was too much pressure (charge) that was dissipated all at once.
Other details:
- I used 3 different earphones, iPhone 4 headphones, altec earphones, an the new iPhone 5 earbuds. Same.
- I turned on and off lte, data, Bluetooth, wifi. Problem persists unaffected.
- when switching to iPhones earpiece and mic, the fading is gone.
- I have 3 out of 5 bars where I teste this, in the city outside and on hwy 5 in central California. Same symptoms in all places I've tested.
- I have exchanged my phone at the apple store. Same issue with both iPhones an I suspect all ipjone5s.
- the ipjone4s does NOT have this problem when the volume is set lower. I can tell that the iPhone 5 must have a new audio filter to make the sounds have larger dynamic range. I liked the 4s better, because it is easier on the ears!

Help needed with HTC One regarding mic problem with noise cancellation

I picked up an HTC One last week, and so far I am loving the phone. Great build quality, screen, sound - all as advertised.
However, there is one very annoying problem I am having. When I am talking to someone, I can gear them great, but they keep telling me I sound muffled or robotic. I performed some tests, and the problem appears to be something with the dual microphones and the HTC One's noise cancellation features.
Here are the tests I ran:
Typical phone call, with holding the phone as I normally do on the sides and to my ear. Call result, pretty muffled voice. I'd give the call quality a 5/10.
Help the phone as I typically do, but covered the mic hole on the back of the phone. This definatelyimproved call quality. Was louder and clearer, but not perfect. I'd rate it at 8/10.
Help the phone towards the bottom, using my hand to kind of cup the bottom directing the sound to the bottom mic. This was a further improvement in sound quality. Rating would be 9/10.
Help phone as normal, but covered the bottom mic hole. Very low volume and muffled sound. Rating a 4/10.
Talked directly into the bottom of the phone into the bottom mic. This gave perfect call quality and volume. Rating a 10/10!
Talked directly into the mic on the back of the phone. Horrible quality, couldn't hear hardly anything. Rating 0/10.
Speaker phone on, held the phone up and moved it around as I would normally use a speaker phone. Call quality was really nice. Id give it 9/10.
Speaker phone on, covered back mic hole and used speaker phone as in #7. Very bad quality, rating 1/10 for call quality.
Speaker phone on, covered bottom mic and help speaker phone in hand. Really good quality, even an improvement over test #7. Would give the call quality a 9.5/10.
Speaker phone on, placed face down on table. Volume a bit low, a little muffled. Call quality 6/10.
Speaker phone on, place face up on table. A bit worse than test #10, low volume and a bit muffled. Call quality is 5/10.
Based on these tests, I know this problem has nothing to do with the network CDMA connection. It is obvious that the noise cancellation features are a bit too aggressive, or I have some hardware problem with one or both mics.
I question wether its really a hardware mic problem, because on non-speaker phone calls, talking directly into the bottom mic gives great quality. And on Speaker phone, covering the bottom mic makes the speaker phone sound really good. That's why I think there's something going on with the "Sense Sound" noise cancellation.
Is anyone else seeing the same issues? I want to be able to hold the phone normal on a non speaker phone call and get good quality.
Looking for any tips and advice anyone can give. Is it worth exchanging for a new one, as I am still in my 14 day window.
Thanks in advance for the help!

Noise Cancellation option is Missing in 5C

Hi,
I just bought a new iPhone 5C (by the way, I am located in India, so is this phone) and notice that "Noise Cancellation" option is missing and also when I turn on the "Reduce Motion", I still see that the Parallux effect is still on.
How to fix these two issues?

Hi Amit.
For the same fieldcatalog define data type as INT4.
For eg.
wa_fieldcat-fieldname    = 'Integer'.
wa_fieldcat-do_sum       = 'X'.
wa_fieldcat-datatype     = 'INT4'.
and in the layout.
wa_layout-totals_only = 'X'.
wa_layout-subtotals_text = 'Subtotal of Integer'.
I hope this will work.
Best Regard,

Z2 Right Noise Cancelling Ear bud not working - MULTIPLE repair attempts

I am not happy with the service I have received from Sony support in the last months.
I bought my Z2 in September and after 3 weeks the right earbud of my noise cancelling headset provided with the phone stopped working 100% of the time. By moving the jack connection it would come and go. This did NOT happen with my third party earphones and when trying in the Three store I bought the device in, my suspect noise cancelling phones worked with the Z2 on display OK.
My phone was sent in first time in end of Sept/start of Oct and after I got it back the issue remained and the service log showed only a flashing of the software happened.
I then contacted Sony Xperia support again to complain and was told all I could do was return the phone AGAIN to check the QA process used.
This happened and I returned the phone again. I received the phone back today and the issue still persists! Again no hardware changes made.
I am very angry now and have lost all confidence in Sony support and would not recommend another Xperia product based on this.
What I need is for someone from Sony to call me and discuss how this will be solved.

How can I turn off noise cancellation in the iPhone 5C?

I'm having trouble finding the noise cancellation on this iPhone. I know you're supposed to go into settings, then general, under accessibilty, and it's supposed to be the last option under hearing but it's not there. I'm not sure if I can find it somewhere else or not. I have found it on the iPhone 5S just not on the 5C. It is interfering with my FaceTIme conversations and I'd like to be able to turn it off.

I'm not certain if the 5C has the noise cancellation. If you look at the back of the phone near the camera, do you see a small hole there? I'm wondering since you do not locate the switch in Settings. Also, I'm curious as to how it is interferring with your FaceTime calls. I'm not doubting your word, I would just like to know how it is doing that.

Lumia 925 noise cancelling mic problems

I have two problem, questions:
First, I lived in Kuwait and there I bought a Nokia lumia 925 with 12 months Nokia warranty, however I moved back to my home country, is the warranty valid here too?
-the real problem- :
Unfortunately I need it since the noise cancelling Mic does not work on it. The other microphone at the bottom of the phone works great, because during a phone call there is no problem, they hear me.
However I expected today, when I recorded a video and played it back, it was not mute, but it was like the phone would be in water, I only heard strange muffled sounds. I looked after it, I had been cleaning it for an hour: I blew air into the top microphone with a pump, with my mouth... It did not succeed, it got a little bit better, since now that strange sound is more quiet, and when I shout in it , I can hear it.
Anyway it does not even work while I am recording in the OneNote app.
It is not a solution, it is still terrible.
Please help me!

Hi DaGentleman,
Welcome to the Nokia Support Discussions!
Try to use the Nokia Software Recovery Tool and then check if it helps. See this link for more info: Nokia Software Recovery Tool. If that doesn't help, we suggest sending it back to a Nokia Care Point in Kuwait. Try to search it using this link: Nokia Care Point.

Trying to turn on the noise canceling for iphone 5c

I am having trouble with my hand free system in my CRV and I was told there is a noise canceling selection in the settings but I am not seeing it. I need to turn this feature on so I can reduce the magnified noise coming through my hands free system. I have an iphone 5c

I'm having a problem with echoing, and see where people suggest turning off Noise Cancellation, but that option does not appear in my Settings menu. I go to Settings>General>Accessibility> but there is no Phone Noise Cancellation.
Where is it? Why is it not in my menu?
iphone 5c, ios 8.a.2 (12B440)
Will turning this off stop the echoing I hear of myself when I am talking on a call?

Noise canceling for listening to music

Hi there,
is there any way to use the noise canceling system in the Z30 for listening to music? It is unusually for me that you can connect headphones in two different ways. The headset delivered with the phone does not mute the speakers of the phone when connected. Normal headphones does. Is there a similar possibility to connect earphones with micophones for noise cancelling like seen on the Sony Z2? What can I do? Thanks in advance.

Noise cancelling has to be done with the earphone or headset itself. The noise cancellation is very phase critical. The receiver (michrophone) that picks up the background noise must be located very close to where the sound is outputting to the speaker device.
Noise is cancelled by using very precise audio amplification of the ambient sounds or noise, and applying the noise in exact opposte phase and level to the noise that is in the background along with the sound.
You need a headset with the noise cancelling option, and this should work for you. The good ones are fairly expensive. They don't work 100%, but usually this feature is better than not having it at all.

Using iPhone 3Gs with noise canceling headset

I recently upgraded from a 3G to a 3Gs. I used the 3G with a corded connection from the audio jack to a Lightspeed Zulu aviation noise canceling headset. It worked great. However, with the 3Gs I can hear the person I am talking to fine, but they say they can barely hear me. This never happened when I used my 3G phone with the NC headset. Is there a volume adjustment on the outgoing audio in the 3Gs?

So my question is, can i use IPhone 3Gs with my network instead of AT&T?
No, if the phone is bought from AT&T in the US, it is locked to AT&T and AT&T do not offer unlocking, so it would only be able to be used with AT&T.
There doesn't appear to be an official iPhone provider in Egypt, so you would have to buy an unlocked one from another country:

Note that for any repairs or service the iPhone would have to be returned to the country of purchase.

Noise cancellation microphone

Hi.
Is there anyway to be really sure if the noise cancellation mic is working? I mean, like an app that test the hardware or something like that..
I'm asking this, beacuase, for exaple I tried to make a video with background loud music and me talking at the same time. I was expecting the music to be filtered but that didn't happened. Maybe It's the Camara app that doesn't use the noise cancellation feature, but I'm not sure.
Please, I want some opinions!

"
While most phones have only one microphone, iPhone 4 has two. The main mic, located on the bottom next to the dock connector, is for phone calls, voice commands, and memos. The second mic, built into the top near the headphone jack, is for FaceTime calls and for making your phone calls better. It works with the main mic to suppress unwanted and distracting background sounds, such as music and loud conversations. This dual-mic noise suppression helps make every conversation a quiet one."

It is not state of the art recording/motion picture industry equipment. It simply improves the quality over the one mic.

Noise cancelling greyed out

Hi gang,
Thanks for all the help thus far. Having finally got my phone back from Sony I'm loving it, it's a delight to use and a powerhouse, just don't get it wet!
Anyhow I can't figure out the noise cancelling. The option is permanently greyed out no matter what headphones I use or what options I select. I'm prob missing something simple, but any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Does anyone know what models of Sony noise cancelling headphones work with the Xperia Z3's noise cancelling function?
I have a pair of Sony MDR-NC60 noise cancelling headphones but when these are connected to the Z3, the noise cancelling menu is still greyed out.
Is anyone from Sony Support able to explain how the Z3 detects if the headphones connected to the headhone jack are compatible noise cancelling types?
Cheers,
Alan

Noise-canceling headset to use Siri while driving?

At freeway speeds, road noise in my non-Lexus renders Siri basically useless when I use the Apple-supplied headset.
Have others solved this problem by using a noise-canceling headset? What model/brand works well - preferably without breaking the bank?
Thanks.

That's great! Sounds like the user has a choice how to use Siri. Another concern I am finding on the blogs is that one cannot use Siri while the phone is locked. Before iOS7.1, you could. Does this mean I must unlock the phone before I can use Siri? This would be inconvenient while driving or other circumstances.
