Sound from ear piece is too distort

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?

I had the same problem: till last week my earpiece was working but last week was dead, I can not hear anything. If you find how to remove and exchange the earpiece please send also to me on a PM.
Thanks a lot!

Broke my standard headset, what to buy?

Hey guys I've been searching around and haven't been able to find a lot of info.
I broke the headset that comes with the Desire. Now I want to buy a new headset that's cabled and have the same three buttons as the standard one.
Instead of just buying the stock one again, I hope to find something wtih better sound, does anyone know where to find that?
Regards!

Broke how? Do the controls still work?

accidentially pulled one of the earbuds of, so that I now only have one earbud.

If the controls still work you could solder a standard earphone plug insted of the earbuds, so you could connect any other headphones to it. I'm actually thinking of doing this so I can use the controls both with the headphone that in my car (line in). If you can wait I will do this to mine next week, so I could tell you how it goes.

Do a google search for "diy-merge-original-headset-with-the-headphones-of-your-choice" to find a post on the modaco forums (I can't post the link). This should give you some tips - not great photos, but you can see the general idea. If you go this route it would be great if you could take some photos, especially on how the controls come apart.
Good luck! AD

not really good at solding so I'll rather buy new ones and further the cord out from the unit with the controls, so I don't think it's really difficult for me to do it.

I'm using a sony bluetooth headset with controls (MW600)
Volume sensor is fiddly (I rarely change vol so I dont mind) and it's nice and loud (louder than the stock headset). It pairs beautifully (real quick and easy) and the sound quality is good, I feel it could be slightly better though..
Receiving calls works as you would want, 1 press answer, mic works great, 1 press hang-up and autoswitch back to media.
Over all I'm happy with it

I'm starting to think the stock headset is a very bad design.
The control section with the buttons and mic should have tapered ends where the wires come out so it can't get caught on anything.
I have got mine caught on stuff twice, the second time the wire ripped the pad off the PCB which is no longer serviceable.
I've bought a new headset off ebay, this time Im going to get some black epoxy resin and make a tapered end so it cant get stuck on things.

Correct! That is where I got the idea. But insted of soldering the new headphones to the pcb of the controls I was thinking of cutting the wires of the earbuds and soldering a female connector instead. So I would not need to open the controls/cut my headphones jack and I could use any kind of headphones since swapping would be very easy. Also I would have external controls in my car using the line in.
Do you guys want / need pictures (even though it is only a simple connector)?

Joopvan, sent you a pm

My Galaxy Buds in black arrived today...any questions?

So, T-Mobile never shipped my pre-order S10 so they sent the Buds in black to the house and ate the cost. Love them. Anyone have questions about them?

No, we already have the white ones. They are quite good but missing bass and are not very steady, the ear fins are a bit small for me.

yea, sadly the buds doesnt have that much base to it

Can you compare it with the inbox wired AKG earphone?

Is the EQ on in the settings? I find that they have tons of bass, especially for such small drivers. Obviously you won't feel it, they are tiny little things in your ears, but you can hear the low frequencies extremely well.
Edit: I just re-listened to some songs on Spotify. I listened to Made Men by Drake and you can absolutely hear the bass in the beginning. It starts with an 808 hit. Similar sound on the 3.5mm headphones included in the box and honestly louder than my Bose QC35II. If there are in ear, wireless buds that produce more than that I would love to hear about them. I don't know what else you could expect.

I also hear you need to use the volume adjustment from the touch pads on the buds to get the full volume. I sold my white and black one are arriving tomorrow so can't confirm myself

So.. I took some Comply Foam Tips I used with an old pair of beats headphones and I got a ton of base. The tips make a HUGE difference!
The only problem, with them on the buds, they don't fit in the charging case.
I did contact Comply and they will be coming out with foam tips in 2-3 weeks specifically for the buds. I highly recommend getting them.

I also have the jaybird x3 and I can tell you there is a big difference! So yeah a bit disappointed in this regard but otherwise they are great, light...

How long did it take, from the moment you requested them to delivery?

thanks, could you shoot me a pm when the product is out? I'd like to try it out!

Do you notice any issues with battery drain on the case?
I had them charging overnight, so first thing in the morning, buds were green and case was green. I used the buds for a short while on morning commute, until about 90% battery. Put them back in the case, and case showed green. Left them on my desk all day, took them out for evening commute, and case is yellow. Another short commute, another quick top off of the buds.....and case is red.
It seems like the case is always charging the buds even if buds are full. I am sure they are seated correctly in the case. I wait for a flash after placing each bud in. I can't imagine that two short charges of the buds, from 90% back to 100, is enough to take the case from green to red under normal conditions.

Try draining both the buds and the case and then recharging. Several folks on the GalaxyBuds subreddit seem to have had luck with that.

do you get bad robotic sounding notifications when you enable them in the wear app?

Has anyone tried the buds while gaming.
Mine are black ones and have a delayed response while gaming, as they're Bluetooth 5.0 this shouldn't be the case.
Please if anyone can confirm this maybe while playing PUBG, it will be very helpful.

How is the mic of them? In the airpods i can speak at normal loud and the other person ears me very well. How is it in the buds?

any word on the comply foam tips?

can you try bigger buds, they say when you change to bigger ones bass increases.

Does it come with a drink?

I've tried several and it's very hard to get them back in the charge case comfortably.

I tried bigger buds but it is not changing much. I have some jaybird x3 to compare with and the sound quality is definitely worse :/
Otherwise I personally don't have any issue putting them back in their charge case.

Earphones being louder on one side than the other.

Hi, I recently got my A7 and this one thing is bothering me since day one. For some reason my right earpiece is louder than my left one. I am not using the included headset but rather Apple Earpods as they have a better bass, which is kind of important to me. I checked Adapt Sound before any of you ask, I have the default profile enabled. Is there a way to make both the earpieces be on the same lound level? Thanks

Interesting. I also seem to have the same problem. I wanted to have my left ear checked by a doctor for this .
No idea why this is the case though.

yeah I had the same feeling until I realised that if I put my left earpiece to my right ear it was the same level as if it were in the left ear.
Also for me this only happens when I have in-ear heaphones, over-the-ear one's sound normal

Is stereo sound possible?

I was wondering... is RN7P able to output stereo sound? If you go to CIT (settings->my device->all specs and tap kernel version 5 times) and choose test number 12 ( play music by receiver), you can hear music coming from... well the receiver (earpiece). It is loud enough, although not as loud as a main speaker, to hear it at normal volume levels. So does anyone have any idea/experience about the possibility of enabling stereo sound with a mod or something? My last phone did have stereo sound, and the sound from the earpiece was a little quieter than the main speaker, just like in this case.

Hi,
I copy here a question posted on another post (sorry, i'm quite busy, can type a new question here)
-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Hi,
I just installed the global rom miui_VIOLETINGlobal_V10.2.8.0.PFHINXM_997265e49a_9 .0.zip on my brand new RN7PRO china 6/128. No problem for the installation but, I found out that only the right speaker is working under all condition. I tried with MP3, Games, youtube, and other audio files.
Now, I don't know if depend on the rom installed or is a device that is expecting to work like this.
Anyone can tell me if both or only one speaker is working??

The phone has only one main speaker (on the bottom side, to the right of the usb port when you are looking at the screen), if that i what you mean.

Thanks, mate!!!!
that's was exactly what I was looking for! :cyclops:
I will look into your question and see if I found something.
Thanks, again
PS: So, the other "holes" that look like a speaker on the left side of the USB looking the screen...what is it?? very big microphone??

The holes are there for aesthetic reason, to preserve the symmetry of the device.

Yes, the holes on the left side is for the microphone.
Like other said, they design it symmetrically for aesthetic reason.
