<![CDATA[Mic distorted in speakerphone mode]]>I have tried a few calls using the speakerphone mode and every time no one can hear me or I am very distorted, breaking up and virtually incomprehensible. Mic works fine in non speakerphone mode and works in the Recording app, but recording volumes are very low for both. Plugging in a headset seems to get slightly louder recordings but doesn't really address the call problem with the mic. The Volume app in the Open store does not seem to do anything to fix the issue.

Is anyone else dealing with this?

Thank you it works,kind of hard to get used to

When you get used to, wich is quick, then you feel it very natural, plus it prevents mistouchs.

Cant figure out how to send a text from my contact list.

You select a contact touching it, then in contact data you have one or more phone numbers, look at the right of the number you want text to, you'll see 2 icons, the first for texting the second for calling.

@billboy5690 Thanks all I found it, there is a reset all in setting

You can also change the scaling (and other things) by using "UT Tweak Tool" if it is too small / too large / etc.

I had to switch momentary back to android.
And I still cannot answer calls without hustle.

The UT way is more natural to me. Or I guess old habits die hard.

@rik Can you please clue me in as to how to sign up or access it.I assume its called the development channel.Thank you for reply

In System Settings > Updates > "Gear" you will see "Channels". Click that and choose "Development". Then go back to Updates and you should see the Download option, and then Install.

Note that being on "Development" can mean than some unstable things will come through, but for the fixes you mention it is the way to get them "early". In a few weeks "stable OTA-22" will come out and that will have the fixes. So at that time you could change back to "stable" and in then install OTA-22 to be in the safest place.

There are other good things in "Devel" right now such as better battery life, GPU acceleration, etc, that again will all get to OTA-22 if you can wait a few weeks.

I think if you are on the "Devel" channel the fix will be automatically applied.

I hope the change will be reviewed by someone else soon as typical procedure before inclusion works.

This leaves us with voice call volume changes not working as the last issue. And please for the love of God, if you know someone who can help with this, let me know. 🙂

It looks like nobody knows how to solve it yet or those who know have no time to put into this at the moment. If this was Ubuntu I would be troubleshooting with Pulse Audio, probably, but I know nothing about UT. If anybody here could guide us we might be able to start something.

It seems like nobody touched this issue since then. I have been using a wireless headset to go around the loud speaker problem for calls but that is not a solution to the problem since the mic volume is low for everything that uses the microphone. Here it is the link to the bug report in github: https://github.com/ubports/ubuntu-touch/issues/1808
