Is it just my pro? or are most like that? I just got my pro yesterday, and they ear piece sounds too distort. It sounds like a crappy earpiece, it vibrates and sounds way too fuzzy and buzzy and distorted. Is there any way to fix that? or should I take it back for another pro?
same problem here
My ear piece sounds distorted (muffled), no matter who i call, when i switch to the speaker or put on the headsets that came with the phone it sounds awesome.
i purchased mine through bestbuy and sprint.
i went to bestbuy today to try and exchange it because this is the only problem i have with this phone and the new phone that the CSR took out of a new box had the same problem.
I think this is with all of the sprint htc touch pros, i guess more people should reply to this thread and let us know if they have the same problem of not.
i emailed htc about this and they said to hard reset the phone......why would that fix the problem since i just bought it saturday and i havent put much of anything on it.
ANYONE THAT CAN POST THEIR EXPERIENCE, IT WOULD BE APPRECIATED.
I went to sprint and I tried out the Diamond, the speaker on it, sounded a bit better than mine. And yes its just the ear piece on the phone, on speaker it sounds normal, and as well with the headset. Unfortunately all best buys around my area are sold out...
Take the plastic cover off the front plate. It is covering the ear piece causing the sound to be muffled.
I purchased two Touch Pro's from best buy...two different stores, and can confirm that the audio is completely different between the two. One is perfect...audio is wayyy better than my previous mogul. My wife's touch pro however sounds aweful, totally distored at every volume level.
Called sprint last night, they said the phone was too new for them to comment and that they haven't recieved any complaints about the issue.
Unfortunately, there are no more touch pro's in denver to exchange with so...I'll have to hold on till the next batch arrives at best buy.
Mine sounds OK at medium volume, but with the volume up all of the way, it sounds terrible! I bought mine at Best Buy (St. Louis) on 10/27
same problem.. have not talked enough yet to really care. just got last night, so i will know in a day or two if i can stand it.
definitley the same experience here, muffled sound from the ear piece and, yes, I did remove the plastic. Almost sounds like a busted speaker sounds. It has been this way from straight out the box (Sunday monring at best buy in IL)
I did apply the audio patch to increase the volume... but it didn't help. It's really tinny at higher volumes. It is actually painful to listen to!
has anyone tried doing a hard reset after encountering this problem?
and if so, did it work or is it the same?
Hard reset has been performed twice, and I still have the problem. I don't think its software related, rather than the speaker itself. It sounds like a very crappy speaker, like a toy. At high pitch noises, it crackles and its horrible. it sounds tinny, like a tin can. Imagine 99 cent ear buds bought at a 99 cent store, and playing something like metallica on them. It sounds horrible.
Unfortunately, I am having the same problem. I removed the plastic cover and it helped a bit, but there is obviously still a problem.
On my old Samsung, I always had the volume level to the earpiece turned all the way down and I could hear all calls perfectly. On the Touch Pro, I have to crank the earpiece as loud as it will go and the voices are still very muffled and sound distant. I do not know if perhaps I got a bad unit, but if I was in a crowded room or driving with the windows down, I would not be able to have a conversation even with the volume at maximum.
This may be a deal breaker.
Can someone please post the info for the registry hack and how it has worked for others?
just went to bestbuy, exchanged my phone, and haleluya, it now sounds like my olg htc mogul and like every phone is suppose to sounds, CRYSTAL CLEAR....
thanks to everyone for the postings....if you have this problem, exchange, do not wait for a firmware upgrade, because this might be the hardware which a FW upgrade cannot fix.
After a week with my phone, they finally got more in stock, went to best buy and exchanged it, now it sounds crystal clear. Exchange it! Problem solved.
But what about the volume, has that been heightened on the two new phones purchased from bestbuy

the volume has not been heightened, now it just sounds clear.
to me the phones earpiece never needed to be louder.
but thats just me
It's definately a hardware issue, I had this issue, exchanged it at BB, and now it's gone. I went from abuild date of 10/14 to 10/15
ruined,
how do you determine the build date? I have the same issue, so guess I will be exchanging mine too, but if there is a way to determine if the new one I get is from a bad batch before I activate it, that would be good.

My earpiece was great till last week!! Now it sounds like it was busted. Vibrates a lot. As HTC doesn't support my country, does anyone knows how to remove the earpiece?

Hi
i have HTC S710 Smartphone and when i call someone i cannot hear ringing and i cannot hear person voice from Ear Piece. once i put on speaker phone i can hear it.
Is there anyone know how to fix it
Please Help...............thanks

You internal speaker isn't functioning perhaps. Take it apart, clean the connections and see if it works. I have 2 speakers that you can have for a small fee+shipping if you are interested. I no longer use my Vox so I have all the parts and a few spare parts.
It's easy to take apart, follow the service manual which should be linked in the Wiki.
thanks
i have sent for repair service depot

How much is the speaker because is have problem with it
Thx
First of all, my first post, hi Sorry for my bad english.
So the ear speaker (the one for call) of my htc desire z doesn't work anymore. However the I can still use the loud speaker with low volume to call.
I think (I'm sure) it's a hardware problem, and I want to buy the part (the speaker) to repair the phone.
My question is (very noobish) what is the name of the piece I want? Because I don't want to accidently buy the wrong one for the loud speaker, I just want the one for call.Or it's the same?
And if you have a link for the piece, or a trusted site (because I saw on the forum piece at like 3$ but very cheap (said the op) and I want some good one not very cheap.
Thanks in advandce!
i accidentally dropped down my desire s....and after the fall there are no sound from the loud speakers like ringtones music etc......but everything else is ok....will a speaker replacement work? i dont have warranty also....what to do??:crying:
Send it in for repair?
If you are adventurous then try tearing your phone apart to see whether anything is loose near the speaker. There is a video showing how to do so in here some where.
But try different roms before going down that path. And if you can live without the speaker then let it be.
From the DesireS
Attempting to repair it yourself would not be wise. Everything else is working, right? Then it would be better to send it in for repair. Don't risk trying your luck at repairing it and accidently breaking something important..
owk.....i'll take this to repair shop....just was curious if i could fix it myself
Yes, you can fix it yourself, if you can disassemble your phone. It's likely even not the speaker itself but its contacts, it doesn't sit right, moved because of the fall.
On the other hand, if you don't feel safe taking a special small torx screwdriver and disassembling the phone (or don't have the tools), take it to a store to fix. It shouldn't be an expensive fix.
My wifes skyrocket is all crackly when talking to someone , not the loud speaker, but the internal speaker.
anyone know of a site to buy a replacement? Or are these soldered onto the phones motherboard..? i checked repairuniverse, but none there.
ive been all over google, which tells me i think im shi* out of luck.
Thanks Guys.
