Just got the Sensation nice phone. One problem I noticed. I am trying to activate the voice dial from my bluetooth headset and it does not work. Tried several bluetooth headsets and these headsets work with my mytouch 4g perfectly with bluetooth voice dial. Just can't get it to work with the Sensation. Called HTC they had no idea what I was talking about. Anyone here have any info about this.
I have the same problem! Really have no idea what to do... let's keep bothering HTC about it.

I called HTC again and they are suppose to check with level two support and call me. I will not hold my breath they dont seem too interested in this problem. I am returning the phone on monday if this is not fixed. I use this feature all day long and cant do without it.
Anyone else having issues with wifi calling? Initially people were complaining they could not hear me or constantly telling me to repeat myself. I left myself a voicemail on my work phone and was surprised how low the volume was. It's as if the mic gain was turned all the way down. I had to turn the volume to maximum just to makeout what I was saying. Additionally, the earpiece volume is also a tad low on my end. I'm assuming it's safe to say there is nothing I can do till Tmobile updates the phone, right?

I just did a test on wifi calling to my voicemail at home and the volume was fine, sounded like a normal call. There was another voicemail on there as well from someone else and it was the same volume as theirs.

Hmmm...weird. I have no issues with mic volume during regular cellular calls and Skype calls (tested these two by leaving myself voicemails also).
I will call technical support and see what they have to say.
Thanks for the reply Robertsonland
I haven't had any issues (I had latency and sound issues on my Samsung Vibrant and Blackberry Curve before that using UMA) on my Sensation using Wifi calling yet. I used my friends phone while making a wifi call to it, and there was no delay at all, and the sound is great.
Bump. No one else is having low mic outgoing volume issues with wifi calling?

Constant. Wifi Calling is unpredictable. I have no network reception and the phone struggles to keep on wifi calling. I have tried most available roms all the patches and three devices. WIFI Calling is unreliable while using the phone. It works fine when left alone 90% of the time. However those times you pick up the phone and it doesn't show Wifi Calling, or it just then kicks in; you are catching it in its moment of sudden tmobile retardation. And i have tried it will all sorts of access points, obsessed over dd-wrt settings for weeks. Even ended up bricking a couple devices (JTAG ftw).
S-OFF Sensation LeeDroid 1.2 1.3 TMO-US Wifi Calling v1.0
If it's going in and out of WiFi calling like that it's the Sensation's WiFi reception causing the issues.
Do you put your hand over the top part of the phone when you're on a call?
My friends complain that they can hear themselves. Like an echo effect.

Happens all the time with me and my wife...to the point that I don't use wifi calling anymore. It is certainly a problem.
echoing on speakerphone has happened to me, solution.. don't use speakerphone.
Well I'm glad I found this thread because I am having the exact same issue and was going to return my Sensation. I have no regular cell signal in my house so I have to rely on the Wifi calling and it sucks from time to time. I have to repeat myself and sometimes the other person can't hear me even if I'm yelling in the handset. So from what I've been reading, it sounds like this is a normal (abnormal) wifi calling issue with Tmobile. That sucks!!! Is there any fix or possible bandaid for this problem?
Does this only happen with the Sensation or are others having this problem with other phones?
Bumb
Anyone have found a solution to this issue ?
I just joined Tmobile and i an having the same issue .

I have the same issue sometimes too, If i try to turn on speaker phone the mic cuts off all together. Using Revolution HD
You know .
I truly do not believe its a reception ( wifi reception or anything ) .
I ran packet capture and it all look`s "ok" no drops or resets .
This thing looks like a poor VOIP decryption , either on the phone or the Tmobile servers.
IT IS a software issue . And defenitly need to be attended to .
what i did notice that i have a sensation and so do my wife .
I get the issue she doesn't .
The difference i rooted my machine ( still uses original ROM i have a trust issue regarding running some unverified kernel`s ) .
Any thoughts ?
I have called Tmobile about the issue. The tech I talked to said there were no other reports of low mic volume. My mic volume works perfect when using Skype or SIP. But when on Wifi calling, the mic gain is way too low. I have left myself test voicemails, and I have to have the volume cranked all the way up to hear myself. Hopefully the issue will be resolved with the next software release.
Man that sucks .
This Wifi calling is cool and i like it , but if it doesnt work whats the point .
Any way to contact the development team of this product ?
Calling and talking to some dude in India at Tier I do not help here...
I have used several custom ROMs and Kernels and have had no issue with sound volume or quality using the WiFi calling app. It may be a simple hardware difference during manufacturing. Just as some people's phones work flawless while OC'd and others crash even though they all have the same model CPU. I would try to get a replacement phone to see if it works better.
I actually have another 2 new phones next to me .
Any way to clone my OS (including the config and everything ) to the other phone ?
Then i can move my SD and SIM .
Ok we have 2 Infuses at my house and both are getting some king of call garbling. My mothers phone garbles very often and will only work if she hangs up and tries again. My phone on the other hand does the same thing with the added bonus of sometimes having no sound at all when the person picks up. So, is this a common problem or what?
I would like to add that some times the garbling goes both ways so that I hear the distortion on my phone when she calls (I mean this distortion is not related to our voices, ittl just happen by itself prompting a "did you just hear that?"
Thanks for any help you guys can give me, Im starting to wish I could still return it for another phone.
Is your sim card new?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium
Sure isnt. I havent had a problem on my backup phone.
Weird. No problems like that - the only audio problem I've seen reported any time recently is the Hellraiser first-call bug - but that only applies if you're running a Hellraiser ROM.
Really sounds to me like something is funky with your local towers... Maybe something the Infuse specifically doesn't like.
What was your backup phone? You never know, getting a new sim may help.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium
Network issue, just because another different model phone doesn't have the save issue means nothing. Your backup device could be GSM only for all we know while the Infuse uses WCDMA priority and GSM as a backup.
A SIM swap won't do anything unless you were getting no signal at all. Call at&t and report it, they'll most likely file a service request and send an engineer out to check it out.
Being that I used to be in telecommunications for T-mobile, this was a frequent issue I dealt with.

Thanks for that advice, Ive been pushing her to call in but shes far too lazy. Ill do it for my phone and see what happens.
Hi all,
Apologies if this has been posted but I could not find any using the search although I came close.
I bought a 2nd hand Telstra HOXL using an Optus sim on fleabay and it is basically brand new. I've had it for almost a week and everything has been working fine except that I dont actually use it for calls that often. So last night I get a call and the person on the other end couldn't hear me so I figured they were in a bad reception area. Similar thing happened today and it felt strange so I called myself and all i could hear was a loud buzzing sound every time I spoke into the mic. When i turn on speaker phone, it actually works properly. Obviously it's a bit pointless if I can make a call without being on speakerphone. The strange thing is, I definitely had a successful call when i first got the phone but it required a few attempts before we could hear each other and I was told by the caller that all they could hear was the buzzing noise. Why it would suddenly work after a few attempts and then never again is beyond me.
Things I've tried:
- Performing the Audio Test. It failed because I could not record anything. I confirmed this by trying the voice recorder and it didn't work - just buzzing.
- I tried factory reset without success
- Finally I jumped onto the online support and they told me there is only 1 mic so it sounds like a software problem.
Has anyone experienced the same thing? I can't exactly take it for repairs cos the Ebayer has gone MIA even though they promised to provide proof of purchase. Hopefully they aren't dodgy cos they even refunded the postage difference. So now i'm stuck with a potential lemon and a few hundred bucks poorer.
Thanks.
I probably can't help you, but I suggest making more tests and post here, hopefully somebody had a similar problem and can help:
- try over headphones
- try over Bluetooth headsetor in car handsfree
- try a call over Skype or yahoo messenger (on wifi) to make sure isn't the network
Post results here. You'll probably end up with a custom rom, but not sure.

Thanks. It's definitely not the network because I put my sim back into my old trusty Desire and it works fine. I'll give the headphones / bluetooth a crack later and I have a feeling they will work.
UPDATE - Tried it with headphones on and it works. I read on another forum that some people believed it had something to do with removing the headphones from the jack which caused the propblem. I happen to use my headphones a fair bit and I'm thinking maybe it's "confused" itself somehow. Some people have tried clearing the cache but I'm not sure how to do that on the XL.

I searched the forum for this, and even google, but without any replies. So I thought I have better luck creating a new thread.
Basically I'm my question is about the conference call beeping sound (when calling more then one person at the same time). I read it's a privacy thing. But in my opinion it would be enough to beep only, maybe, the first 10 minutes?
So my question is, is it a phone thing or a carrier thing?
And if it's a phone thing, I'm stunned that no one had made a solution to disable it, cause it doesn't seam to be included in a phone.
Can anyone shed some light on this?
I think its a phone thing and you may put it in silent mode then no one will disturb you
hit thanks if I helped you

I think you misunderstood me.
The percipients that I called to the conference all is hearing the sound. Not me.
And it sounds every minute, to all of them, so it's not an incoming call or anything.
M facing same problem like you, found no solution yet.
