Weird clicking chewing noise in call...

Ok First things first, I'm a perfectionist so this may be a bit weird.... I own two Imates, both the 128mb abd 64mb and both these phones have the same "issue" so I do not think its a fault in either one, but in the radio rom or speaker hadware of the Imate Jam's in general.
Whenever I hold either of the phones to my ear and make a call I can hear a very tiny clicking "chewing" noise that my wife described as an Ant trying to get out... Now it took her quite a while to hear it and I cannot hear at all in my left ear but when I use my right ear and the room is quiet enough it actually gives me a headache after a while.
I also have a nokia 6682 but does not have this issue at all. Can anyone else confirm this noise. You can hear it best when you first make a call and its ringing, between the rings. Help me out, I've scoured countless posts trying to find a fix or even someone who is bothered with this as well. I have not upgraded the rom to 113 but am planning to soon but I dont think that will help. Thanks guys.

Background noise when talking overwhelming...

Has anyone else noticed, or had anyone tell them, that the background noise is extremely loud and distracting, when you are talking to them on your Raph?
Apparently my microphone/receiver is picking up everything and people are hearing even the slightest sounds.
I called my wife from the car with the music very low, and she said it sounded like I was at a concert. A buddy called me and with no music on in the car, he kept asking if I was driving with the window down, or standing in the middle of traffic... And then when I went into a Panera Bread, with only a few people talking around me, he had to let me go because he couldn't hear me over all the extra noise.
I was not on speaker phone.
Is there anyway to dial down the microphone/receiver, like you can on a computer?
I did search through the forums, but was unable to find anything.
Thanks for the help.

There is in the settings area a item for hearing aid and non hearing aid mode. Try to set it either way and see if it helps?

I'm having the same problem too - is there a registry setting for this? HKLM\Software\HTC\Audiogain is no longer there...

Chiming in with this...have had several people tell me it sounds like I'm on speaker or like someone else said above, driving with the windows down.

I've had this issue as well. I can't remember if I had this issue before I started using cooked ROMs.
What ROM is everyone using?
I'm on PROven 1.08, but I've noticed this with earlier versions of PROven as well.
J.

Yep - just wanted to add that I'm having this problem too.
Almost every call I've made without a headset- someone has asked what was going on in the background.
Currently running Elite ROM
I mean, I know the mic is on the very bottom of the phone, but what's the deal?

Hello, guys.
i had this problem twice: just after i buy my Raphael and afer i take it to my service-center. There serious men just make hard reset and that's all!
the issue hide as i take my pda in hands.
but in several days it started again... i didn't know what to thing - cause i was very sad about this ****en problem.
nevertheless also after few days this problem hide away and never goe to my pda again.
I did'n do anything with my ROM (RUS 1.90.411.3, Radio:1.02.25.19)
...and it's very interesting.
if anybody has the answer to the question: "Why does it happen?" i'd be very glad to hear about this one.
sorry for my english)

hear myself
I have a simmilar backround noise problem, but for what ever reason the speaker kicks out what the mic picks up, so I end up hearing my self more than any one that calls unless it is dead silent in the room, then I can hear the caller as long as I am not talking.
any tips on how to stop hearing myself?

same here im using ROMeOS conFUZEd edition...

Just to add that the problem happens for me with the PROven 1.08 and LantisOS RC 1 ROMs.

I've modified AudioPara3.csv and turned the gain and tx volume way down. It seems to be ok for me, but I haven't done extensive testing yet. Please backup your copy before overwriting it. Copy to your \Windows directory using Total Commander. Let me know what you guys think.

Yeah a lot of people said they can hear everything when I talk to them. Both on my Raphael and my old Hermes. Its just the mics that HTC uses are really good. Maybe not good for phone usage but really good quality and can pick up all sounds.
I ended up getting a Bluetooth with Noise Reduction, everyone is much happier now.

Same here
I've been going crazy looking for a solution for this problem, I was in a restaurant the other day with very soft music and I got a call and the person on the other end said that it was SO loud she thought I was in a night club (I wish I was but I wasn't).
I'm gonna try the AudioPara3 and see what happens.
If anyone has found the perfect solution to this, please post it. Thanks.

Backgrounds too loud
Just installed and the problem seems to be corrected, will try a couple more days.....

I have this problem and have tried a couple of the posted audiopara files - no such luck with this issue?
Any progress on dialing in this microphone setting?
thanks!

Silly question, but did you reboot your phone after you copied the file?

Yup. I occasionally get people telling me I sound like I'm in the middle of the sea with waves and stuff. When I end the call then redial, the problem is usually gone. Happens maybe once a week. I'm a fairly heavy user - the phone that is. Well not just the phone. Erm, can we not go there thank you?
Raph Elite Project RC3. When I've tried audiopara, I lose almost all volume from the speaker so I uninstalled and hard resetted.

Hardware issues anyone?

Yesterday my fuze started doing somthing strange. During an incoming call the bottom buttons started blinking rapidly as usual all except the hang up button and wouldnt stop even after i answered the call. It would occasionally randomly start flashing at random times and appeared to start when the lower pad was touched or jiggled. Anyone else with this?
I restarted and it hasnt done that again but the hang up button still doesn't flash. I cant remember though if it ever did. Can anyone help me out? Also there is a Speck of dust under the glass that drives me nuts but its not a huge deal, anyone else on this?
And finally like a lot of others i have a fuze with a terrible speaker/ringer. Also i've noticed i get feedback when im talking to people, almost as if im hearing a quiet voice of myself in the speaker as im talking. Not enough to be overly distracting but enough to notice...once again anyone?
The strange thing is though, i love the phone still. Too bad att doesnt have anything comparible for me to fall back on. Thanks for any observations anyone has.

ive been having the same problem with my Fuze where all the lower buttons (except the "end" button) begin to flash rapidly as if there's an incoming call, but there is no incoming call... Havn't been able to tell if its random or if its happening b/c of something im doing.. i will update once it happens a few more times and i know more... but for now, anyone have any ideas?

im glad to see im not the only one, i thought i had been imagining things. i have had the same trouble determining if it was something i caused or not as well. The first time it happened i was convinced it was merely a software issue but a few times i was able to get it to repeat by just tapping the bottom of the phone. can anyone let us know if the fuze is supposed to flash all but the end button wheb recieving a call?

I purchased a G1 from a third party, unfortunately When I powered it up It took me to The screen that has the exlamation point, and said it wasnt reading my SIM card and that I can only dial Emergency 911. That is the only thing that appears on the screen when I power it up. no matter what I do? I have an active T-mobile sim card with the data plan that works in other data phones, so I know thats not the issue. I have spoken to several T-mobile Tech support people and I am getting no where! They told Me that they could not do anything for me with no warranty. In the mean time I'm out a couple hundred bucks! The phone is brand new! I'm about 95% positive that it is a Hardware issue? T-mobile told me that it is basically just a paper weight? Frustrating!!!! Can anyone help? any Suggestions?

lol why are you asking about the g1 in a raphael/TP/Fuze forum?
and if you didn't buy it through tmobile i'd say you're out of luck. try contacting htc to see if tehy can do anything about it. also, try different sims, tmobile and nontmobile

[Q] Voice calls - Other party can't hear, reboot required

I've searched and it doesn't seem that many others are having this problem. My wife also has a Droid Charge and has never had this happen.
Basically, mid-call (usually 5-10 minutes, 1-2x a day), the other party will stop hearing me. I can hear them, but they can't hear me. If I hang up and call back, the problem is still there. Cycling airplane mode doesn't help... I actually have to reboot the phone. It's gotten to the point where I tell people if it happens, I'll call them back (since it takes a while to reboot).
This is with the stock ROM, as well as Humble 1.5.
Usually it's just silence on their end, but once in a while, the problem manifests as a screechy, random fax-type noise. Same thing... I can hang up and call voicemail and have it sound like that. I always have to reboot the phone.
Has anyone else had this problem, and if so, were they able to fix it w/o getting a replacement phone?
Thanks.

I have the exact same situation. Wife and I both have DCs. I got mine first. About the second day I had it, the screetching noise happened. It was so loud it almost blew my ear out. Hanging up and redialing did not help. I had to reboot the phone. I exchanged for a new phone for that and other reasons. The new replacement on does the same thing once in a while and the wife says there is sometimes a clicking noise then she can't hear me at all but I can hear her fine. She has had the screetching noice once.

Weird. I've only had the screeching noise one time. Usually, it's like my end is on mute.
I thought it might be the switch to 4g recently, but remembered it happened before then, too. Plus, it doesn't happen on my wife's phone at all.
I guess I'll have to get a replacement. Is there any way to ensure I get a new phone and not a refurb if I do a warranty replacement?

You are going to get a refurb unless you are within 14 days. You can argue and they might give you a new one if you threaten to port out but other then that you will not get a new phone.

Damn. I'm a bit over 30 days. That really sucks, as I seriously doubt they'll be able to reproduce the problem with my phone, but will take it back and "refurb" it to the next unsuspecting owner.

Hello twice before caller hears me?

When I receive a call and slide the green phone symbol to answer, the caller never hears my first hello or two, only hears me after a few seconds go by.
At first I thought it was network related but it has happened in a few other places too including bluetooth in my car.
Any ideas where I can look for the problem?
Phone is unrooted.
Thanks.

Actually, now that I think of it... I believe I might have this issue as well. I can think of a handful of similar instances where this has happened, but it took this thread for my mind to connect the dots. Time to do some testing...

Yeap. Same here. I learned to be quiet for a few seconds. But then there are some like my brother who would get irritated that he doesn't hear me as soon as he picks up.

I really want to say this is an AT&T problem. I have been wondering the same thing. This also happens to me. But not just this phone. All my phones for the past two years. Including my n5. And if you search this problem in Google it's common on our network. And across many phones.
