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!
I have a Fuze that I purchased shortly after launch from AT&T. I've been noticing lately I can hear a GSM buzz in the earpiece during silences. Anybody else notice this, or do I have a poorly-shielded earpiece? I still have an iPhone as a personal phone, and can't hear any buzz during silence, but its also a quieter earpiece. But it is the only other phone I have to compare it to.
A properly functioning phone shouldn't do this. My Fuze is silent, no buzz. My Razr that I just replaced did this after owning it for about a year. It was loud, annoying as heck, and the people on the other end could hear it too. I suspect it was due to a cracked solder joint connecting the shield to the system ground. I would definitely see about exchanging your phone!
Bringing this one back from the dead. I just got a replacement Fuze, and after using it today its doing the same thing. I got a refurb, and it looks like it is from the same batch as my original phone. The datecodes on the back under the rear cover are close, and so are the revision codes. I'm debating to call AT&T again, or just wait and call in another replacement later. I get the feeling that I'm just going to keep getting refurbs that are the same production range and have the same problem.
I've heard this faintly on several GSM phones...and I've heard many others say they notice it. Unless it is extremely loud or something I just ignore it and go on...it's the same buzz heard through computer speakers, etc., when the phone is close to them. Same affect.
Anywhere to purchase internal parts for the SGH-T769 (tmobile samsung blaze)? Phone went thru a wash-cycle, dried out for a few days and it powered up. Seems like the loud-speaker (no ringer or music) does not work and the microphone does not work (I can hear people but they can't hear me). I have looked for days for parts and cannot locate. Any recommendations?

Google is marvelous and I use it all the time. The parts showing up from the (those) links are not showing a speaker assembly (it shows a plastic housing for speaker, but not the actual loudspeaker) and does not show a microphone. I've left emails for those same distributors without any replies. Thus the reason for asking on here.

The loud speaker module has the speaker built into it I believe...
An FYI for anyone looking for parts for this phone. This address: http://www.cellphonerepairshop.com/ (cellphone repair shop) has many parts available.
HI! I recently bought broken Z5 for my main phone. Self repaired it and its working great. Only one thing that bugs me is the microphone echo. When repairing this phone, there is a flap on top of the microphone. Im guessing its loose since it was glued and I did not glue it back. Its just sitting there.
Other party basicly cannot hear me over themselfs. There is mo noise supression setting at all, I think its always on. How do I disable it? I have root and im running MM .A.4.3. I am capable of replacing the microphone but I prefer not opening it again because its sealed and can stand water... I would like to try something else first. no ok Google enabled.
I also have this issue!!! I think this is a software related?
