I can confirm i also have the low mic problem (people find it hard to hear me), i take it there's no apps which can adjust it's setting?

Hi, is there anything new on this issue?

I think somehow this fault is device-specific. I returned my first G300 because I had the "random factory resets"-problem and got a replacement. The replacement has the "low mic during calls" issue, the original one did not!
Is there nothing else I can do to solve this apart from calling via speaker?

You can try editing the build prop file as suggested earlier in the thread but this does not seem to have worked for most people.  It does appear to be "device specific" & you have been unlucky  - unfortunately the only solution seems to get the phone replaced again!  Better luck next time!

Thanks for the answer. I am on B927 and adding the line in the build prop file did not work for me :-(.

Bloody hell. OK, I guess I have to go the the local Vodafone store again.

Related to the original problem, to permanently set "Dual Mic" option, try the following:

Edit the file "/system/build.prop", root is needed, change or add the following line:

ro.config.dualmic=false

I have just looked at  "/system/build.prop"  and cannot find a line "ro.config.dualmic" .  can I just add this line anywhere into the build prop file and reboot the phone ?

I am on 927 as above

Yes, but I doubt it will work!

I may also be suffering from this!

Does it only effect calls? Skype? Regular microphone recording?

I couldn't reproduce with a voice recorder, but thought I had a couple of sound drops in Skype (could be skype network though). Using stock GB (B892)

Just for info: My 3rd G300's mic now is perfectly loud again, other people can hear me alright (like my 1st G300...).

So it really differs from phone to phone. ROM version seems not to have any effect on this.

Had you returned it to get a new one? If so how long did it all take?

im having the sae issue with my handset is there not a fix ? also how do i go about getting it replaced as tesco have no more available

[Titas]

easterhase;  Good to know it worked out for you!  

yadabwoy:  There's no fix.  If the retailer can't replace it they should offer a full refund.  Unfortunately it may cost you more to buy another G300 elsewhere.

[yadabwoy]

think im gonna wait and get it fixed under warranty after 28 days they send them for repair or replacment

I also had the quiet mic problem, I looked for the config line as posted above but couldn't find it. I inserted the line manually and saved, turned off fastboot, rebooted and made a call.

So far no issues.

Thanks for the fix!
