GALAXY S8 CALL VOLUME VERY LOW

[rock_roll_5]

My new S8 call volume is very low, it is almost unusable at time.  I have seen this is ongoing problem with the S8.  Any fixes in place?

My call volume seemed low on my s8 @rock_roll_5 until I realised it was controlled by turning up the volume whilst in a call. 

Some people have had issues caused by cases , screen protectors and debris or lint in the mic port. Network connection / signal can cause certain issues too. 

A Samsung Experience Store or Samsung Service Location can run a diagnostic on it.

So, I had this same problem with my S9. Many people online were complaining about it and a few even returned their phone. The solution for me was CLEANING THE SPEAKER WITH A TOOTHBRUSH. If you rub it with your nails, you will see dirt coming out, but most of it will still be stuck in the little speaker holes. GET A DRY TOOTH BRUSH AND BRUSH ON IT AND ALSO STICK THE LITTLE TOOTHBRUSH HAIRS IN THERE. It'll unclog the tiny holes and you'll be able to take calls on your phone.

Cleaning speaker with dry toothbrush + vacuum on low power increases volume drastically.
