Did some more testing and flashed the 2.8.10.43 Rom again. Here are some screenshots to help clarify the difference between the 2..

Eugene's ROM:

2.8.10.43 ROM:

Aside from the different build numbers, the kernels seem to be identical.

Something of interest to point out was the Baseband version. On Eugene's Rom, no matter what radio I flashed (I tried 3), it would always show the LG3 radio under Baseband; the last one I flashed was actually the LH1. The 2.8.10.43 Rom, however, seems to recognize the correctly flashed radio as shown in the screenshot. Perhaps this "sticky" radio situation could be contributing to the bad call quality on our ends?

Also, I tested call quality on the phone during normal usage (held to ear) and speakerphone (put on table) and the results were night and day. I sound absolutely unintelligible during normal usage but sound extremely vibrant using speakerphone. No other changes were made besides switching back and forth from normal operation to speakerphone. Perhaps some of you could try this and report back your results?

You can easily test this yourself using the instructions here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1703485 - Direct site link: http://www.ani-inc.com/telecom-toolkit

Maybe if we could apply whatever settings control the speakerphone mic during a call to the normal phone call operation settings (held to ear) we could get somewhere. Not sure if that's possible or if it'll even work.. just spitballing here.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] perknite:
I flashed Eugene's kernel and audio fix and it did the trick for me. A slight electronic sound on outgoing audio, but waaaaay better than what we've been hearing. The phone also runs much smoother... just give it 15-30 minutes to settle in. Also, if you have a ton of apps don't go by the first scan through your home screens to determine smoothness. Take the time to go to each home screen, allowing some catch up time between swipes. MIUI needs to build up a cache of what's there the first time (at least that's my guess), but after that things speed up.

I've been using the 2.8.10.43 build and it's worked beautifully for me. I have no call audio problems that anyone has really told me about, and I've had one RR in 2-3 weeks. This runs great at 1.7ghz and has no lag whatsoever. I did flash the 4.0.4 radio UVLH1 (Which may be default?) and I have pretty fast data in metro areas (6-8 mbps in Wisconsin is amazing lol). Getting 7400+ on Antutu (Not that it really means much)

I love this Miui ROM, nice job to all those who took part in it :)

its a i727 kernel, but works good on 989. use 6.0.3 version

and after flashing the kernel, you need another patch to fix the rotation issue
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RobZarzecki:
Thanks. With that kernel 6.0.3 did you need Eugene's fix also on 2.8.10.43?

---------- Post added at 12:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:48 PM ----------

The kernel linked by callmebrain so far has pretty much noticeable better call quality. Made a few calls and a few recorded calls and actually is better than my prior results

Using telus lle4 modem that was already on my prior rom with 2.8.10.43

No other fixes flashed at all

Hoping it stays clear calling

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] smokinjoe2122:
Have you guys tried flashing a different radio to see if that makes a difference for call quality? Not sure it would, but a suggestion. I wonder how many users of this ROM have issues vs non-issues.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gypsy214:
Yup I tried several radios and still. Whats odd though is that this rom is based off cm9. Cm9 have almost clear call quality, this should too. And this have the Eugene's fix. but still bad. If somebody would make another miui based on the latest cm9 or cm9.1 would be better. maybe all these issue will be gone. just sayin
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] garth719:
That's proof that it's the noise suppression issue. See on cyanogen it's the exact opposite. The speaker phone is garbled a bit and the main phone is crystal clear. The issue is a Samsung hardware issue. They put the two mics too close to each other. Something like the voice mic sound gets sucked in through noise cancellation mic which makes the sound quieter and garbled. It is due mainly to using a phone case and the sound gets trapped in the phone more so than without. But the issue gets completely eliminated with noise suppression technology somehow it compresses the sound and doesn't let it get into the noise cancellation mic. I assume most people who don't complain about garbled noise don't use a phone case. The phone case causes the noises to reverberate within the phone... more so
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] smokinjoe2122:
I like your theory, but I use a case myself, and I don't have issues. Wonder if it has anything to do with different internal hardware. Maybe not all Sg2's are made the same? I've only had mine for 2 months, so I don't really know the history of the phone. At this point, I know that I have no issues, I have not flashed a secondary kernel, and phone calls appear to be crystal clear. The volume is a little low, but at this point, I can't complain. I know this probably doesn't help you guys with issues, but still I find it rather strange.

I am a little skeptical about trying the JellyBean version since a lot of people are complaining, so I'll rock this ICS version for a little while longer :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] garth719:
I don't get it haha. but anyways that's not my theory just something ive read about in a few different places. ive had my phone for about 8-9 months maybe did start making them differently without announcing it. who knows
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gypsy214:
I have a replacement. I have it stock rooted and using a Trident case on it. People complain about the noise all the time. Even without the case sometimes. I have a sensation and people can tell if im on the s2 by just saying hello. imagine how bad it is. I called tmobile of course and they only told me to call samsung. because the warranty exchange would be the same phone and it will have the same issue. Its gets on my nerves because i really like this phone but cant use it as a phone as much. Is there would be a way to disable the mic the cause the problem maybe it will be better. cancel that noise reduction. and just use one mic like old school.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] garth719:
on the official team chopstick thread i read of someone trying to port miui with the 10-12 cm10 build
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TubeSteak:
While that theory might sound reasonable, I don't think having a case has any contributing factors. I don't have a case and never have, yet MIUI is the only Rom with terrible call quality for me. I do agree that it's a noise suppression issue. That simple addition from CM would probably solve 99% of the call quality problems. Not sure how a CM based Rom lost this functionality. The only app I want for my phone on MIUI is.. phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] garth719:
Im too lazy to find the articles where i learned this from but just google galaxy s2 bad call quality. You will find an article/s that explains this issue and shows a fix that involves taking apart the phone and putting a piece of card over top of the voice mic to prevent the sound from propagating. In this it does not specify which phone it just says samsung galaxy s2 "general" the majority of users say it fixed the call quality issues

BTW - DONT TRY THIS METHOD FOR THE HERCULES. I tried it myzelf with the miui rom installed and it didn't work. I assume it doesn't work because our hardware setup is different due to the beefy qualcomm 1.5gh setup (Just a theory of mine right there, prove me wrong if you like)

In addition to all this s***. I also noticed that even the stock and all touchwiz based roms have the same "noise suppression" technology as well. It is just called "noise reduction" which means the same thing. In those rom variants it is enabled by default and can only be disabled while in a call
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TubeSteak:
Yea, I've definitely noticed that noise reduction feature on those TW Roms as well and it gets the job done. It just seems like such a silly ordeal to rip apart a phone to get decent call quality when it's only an issue on this Rom; which is why I said I doubt having a case or other hardware factors contribute to it, I don't have call quality issues on any other Roms so it's not solely hardware related. I have 3 phones and the 2 on CM10 nightly and TW404 debloated have no call quality issues. Noise suppression/reduction would fix this issue easily. I'm certain (at least for me) it isn't phone/hardware related, the call quality problem is inherent to this Rom. Too bad MIUI is closed-open source (what an oxymoron) or we could dig in and try some solutions.
