TP mic is ominidirectional?

[k_semler]

Does anybody else's TP seem to have a SUPER sensitive microphone. When I make a call from my phone, I have to turn off my TV so the person who I am calling can actually hear me instead of background noise. When I have no background noise, they can hear me 5x5, but with background noise, it's more like 3x5, (I can hear you, but there is significant interference). Is there a way to adjust the microphone sensitivity on the TP? Or was it intended to be an omnidirectional microphone?

That's mad weird, my phone actually cancels out a lot of background noise. I've been outside and people thought I was inside because they didn't hear any wind, cars passing by etc.

Werrd, I'm told that my mic is ultra sensitive and it picks up things sounds that are very faint or sounds that shouldn't normally be heard so easily.

Maybe you have the AGC enabled? Start > Settings > System > Microphone AGC. Seems to work only with voice recording but it would not surprise me if it had something to do with calls as well.

Nope, it's on diisabled. I'm running EnergyROM with Xperia radio 1.16.25.48 if that matters. (I know it affects reception, GPS locktimes, battery life, (all for the better), but would that turn my mic into a omnidirectional microphone?

Yeah, he might actually benefit more from turning "ON" the Automatic Gain Control. That is what helps for voice recording and also should make your VOICE louder during calls. It's turned off by default.

Thanks, I'll try it.
