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!
ive had my n5 for two days now and something that struck me right away was the muffled low quality earpiece it sounds like if somethings covering the opening or something. from the reviews ive read they all claim it to be surprisingly good and better than the n4's, but from what ive used it its night and day worse than my nexus 4 earpiece (which btw is a huge complement to the n4 cause that earpiece is complete garbage cause of the constant hissing noise in the background, the random loudness spikes and random beeps that almost leave me deaf) im starting to think i either have a defective earpiece or the call quality isnt set to the proper setting? its rooted and unlocked on stock 4.4. any suggestions? already reset phone settings am thinking of exchanging it but ehhh probably be 4 weeks b4 i get one
on a side note any news on paranoid android coming to n5?
edit i have the blk 32 gig model ordered from US play store
also id like to add that when i connect my earphones the call quality sounds the same which makes me believe its the call quality itself
My earpiece is really low also . I can barely hear anyone .

That background noise was really frustrating, none of the phones i have got ever had such a crappy issue. This thing is a phone FIRST and all the ****ing rest comes than...
RMA arrives today though, i do really hope this is good one.
My loudspeaker on z3 were amazing when I got it and now after few weeks I noticed it got significant lower than before it was louder than my bf galaxy note 3 now it is lower.. I did factory reset it did not help, it did not feel down till now and I never put under water.. Any one else have this issue? Anyone know how to fix this?
One other person had a similar complaint but only for one speaker the bottom one, its not normal. Get a replacement.
Thanks mate
People on the other end of the line are hearing their OWN voices feedback while on a call with my Mother & her J7.
My Mother, on the other hand with her MetroPCS/TMO J7 does not hear any anomalies.
Any ideas what could be causing this?

Well after hours of searching, turns out the MetroPCS version of the J7 has a microphone both - top & bottom.
& the case my Mother has was covering the top.
We drilled a hole where the top mic is & that alleviated the echoing that people speaking to her were hearing.
Mystery solved.
Hello there.
I'm using my OP7P for almost 3 years, and for the last 6 months, I'm suffering from bad call quality.
Sometimes I hear the person talking to me like a robot, sometimes I can't hear at all.
There is any way to fix it?
