i recently rooted my htc inspire 4g and have been experimenting with a couple dif roms. i started with android revolution which worked fine, then switched to coredroid desire hd v4.0 which i like much better. the only problem is in call voice quality is somewhat tinny and distorted. any ideas/suggestions as to what the problem may be or how to fix?
you will find on here that you dont get much feedback,,or answers, but i can say coredroid is now at 5.4... found on coredroid.com. im using this and seems very stable. hope i helped. get back to us.

Anyone having call quality issues? I have been making a lot of phone calls lately with my Inspire (rooted with Revolution 3.0) and the people on the other end either can't hear me well or the call drops. I know AT&T blows, but this seems much worse then my IP4.
Is there anything I can do to try and fix this.. or is it just the nature of the phone and/or network? I sounds fine on my end.
Thanks
ever since i rooted and flashed a cooked rom my call qaulity has gone down also on every rom ive tried.blows hard
There is a sound fix for the custom roms. It is in the dev forums. The problems come from using the desire HD roms on our phones. I believe that some of the custom roms have the fix baked in but just to make sure flash it through custom recovery. My call quality is now perfect. As far as other people not hearing you, I never had that issue and if you are having that it might be a manufacture defect or network based. The only issue regarding call quality is the tinny sound but like i said that is fixed with the CWM flashable zip.
I have been getting a lot of dropped calls using the stock ROM. I report every single one of them hoping that they will get the hint and do something about it lol

I decided to put this in the developer forum because i really feel like this is a problem with the roms/tweaks and needs to be looked into.
If the moderators thing otherwise i am sorry then.
I have been getting complaints with friends over the fact that i come in muffed. When i plug in the headphones that came with the phone to talk they say there is a big increase in clarity. They say when i am muffled they really need to focus to understand what i am saying. I decided to try a few different roms and surprisingly the quality has been different. I have used the same radio in every rom test as follows:
Radio : 10.56.9035.00P_10.14.9035.01_M (This should be the newest TMO OTA radio)
Roms:
Android Revolution HD 3.0.1 (Initial Rom i had. Very Muffled. No dual core patch.)
Android Revolution HD 3.0.3 (Upgraded to this one wondering if it will be fixed. Same muffledness. Had dual core patch)

Stock TMOUS 2.3.3 - rooted/de-odexed(This had almost no muffleness, was the clearest of them)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1207410
Stock TMOUS 2.3.4 - rooted/de-odexed (This was almost as good Stock 2.3.3. Very hard to tell the dif)

Superlite *v1.3* by HTCCLAY (Very bad muffling again)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1229073
InsertCoin Sense Android 2.3.4 Stable 2.3.0 (Medium Amount of muffleness)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1198684
http://insertcoinrom.blogspot.com/search/label/pyramid
In all cases the headphones preformed the same amount. They were pretty clear and really helped the muffleness except in the case of insertcoin. The headphones also seemed to have a slight amount of muffleness to them, the difference between headphones and mic was slight.
I have seen other posts about this issue but no clear explaination or dirrection in trying to fix them. I hope this jump starts stuff.
It seems the more modified roms are the ones experiencing the issue... but obviously this isnt the most comprehensive testing.
I did these test over the course of 3 hours with my brother. He stayed in his room in the house and i stepped outside on the sidewalk in the same place every time. Wifi calling was NOT used.

i tried ARHD and IC2.3.0 - no muffled voice from my end. in fact, it was crystal clear. IMO if you've plugged in your earpiece and it sounds ok on the other end, then there's a high chance its the set's microphone thats faulty.
i suggest switching back to stock rom (S-on etc) and see how it goes. if its still muffled, its time to go for warranty
Have moved this to the General forum (for the time being at least).
You'll need to find out if other Sensation users have the same problem. I haven't had anyone tell me they have trouble hearing me with any custom ROMs.

Well i have tried the stock roms and its been reported to sound alot better.
It would be nice if we had that multiboot thing going on our phones lol
And i didnt try S-On again because i heard it runs the risk of bricking....
I have the same problem except if I was to call someone, my voice to them would sound like garbage. Obviously its noticeable as well cause they will tell me they can't hear me and it sounds like crap.
For me,
Roms that have this:
Android Revolution
Senseless
Roms that don't:
Virtuous(currently on)
i had those "garbage" sounds on almost every phone i owned accept for the Nokia 5210 and below Its telco problem not the phone.
phones with garbage sound (that i have owned) : BB9800, iPhone2/3/4, Desire, E72
@yajinni - have you tried switching phone with your brother ? let him use the "muffled" phone instead. it 'could' be the way you hold it

Its worth a try i guess but if it does do that its retarded. I use android because i hate apple but i get the same issues as them? lol
Will test with more roms and will try Virtuous when i get the chance. Are you using 1.3?
Hi There,
I have a rooted Sensation and have bean happily running Android Revolution HD for a while now but I’ve just noticed that LeeDroiD is available for the Sensation.
As a fan of LeeDroiD in the past and I still have it on my Desire I wouldn’t mind giving it a go but i just have one question.
Does this version need a partition on the SD card like the Desire version did or not? There doesn't seem to be any mention of it on the developers page.
Cheers,
Richard.

I've never partitioned anything on my sensation so far and have used many different roms . Best thing I say is to use the super wipe beforehand to get rid of all traces of previous rom so that no conflicts occur.
Good luck with your sensation :-D

No, it's just a straight up flash I believe. I would wait a couple of revisions before fully recommending it, however. If stable is what you're after, you might want to try Sensational 3.3.0.

Thanks for your replies guys, I do like revolution but i am still getting ocasional lock ups and reboots. I might wait a while though for a bit more development of the new LeeDroiD ROM.
I will take a look at Sensational 3.3.0.
Cheers...
I've just switched to Leedroid from Android Rev HD and so far so good. I have not experienced any of the bugs reported in the thread (touch wood). Before i flashed the Leedroid v4 all i did was a superwipe.
Liking LeeDrOiD.
Me too, after using Android Revolution HD from 3.5.2 through to 3.6.5 I’ve now switched to LeeDrOiD 4.0.0.
As fast and smooth as ARHD was it still kept locking my phone occasionally and requiring a battery pull. That gets really boring after a while, so far so good for LD though.
I just wiped and flashed with no problem at all, after a backup of course...
Bluetooth...
Has anyone else noticed a problem with this ROM when playing your music through the car's bluetooth?
This has always worked fine before but since i put LD on it doesn't seem to work.
It connects to the car and says it's playing on the phone but no sound comes out...

the only time my phone freezes on ARHD 4.1.6 is when im running the camera and my screen turns off i gotta pull the battery, but despite that i prefer it over the early version of LeeDroid, dont get me wrong i love his roms but im just waiting for further development

Have you tried LD 4.0.0?
I find it incredibly stable and the battery life is nothing short of amazing...
It seems that the Htc camera doesn't like my.
Yet I've discovered another problem that's include the camera. It seems that if I make video's the mic is clipping. It a shame realy with that great of a camera.
I'ts only with the camera and not when I call.
I've searched but couldn't find a similar thread. Someone ideas?
it has been fixed in the amazed camera, you can flash it. But for a instant solution just switch off stereo recording, it should be better.
Thanks but the amazed camera is only for sense 3.5 right?
yes, but I dont see no problems with sense 3.5 so far, and i have been using it quite a while now.
I like to overall look of sense 3.0. I've used other 3.5 rom's but ARHD 3.6.7 suits me best and the camera is the only thing bugging me
The camera clipping noises is one of the biggest reasons as to why I moved to sense 3.5. It's fixed in 3.5 and works great for me
you can still turn off stereo recording if you really dont want to move to 3.5. I like it much better than 3.0 but thats my opinion...
Sense 3.5 completely takes care of the problem. That also was the main reason I jumped to 3.5. I think it does exist a bit in the Amaze cam mod, and also the Blu ray mod as well. Turning stereo off helped in those mods but not completely.
I wish we knew where the problem lies....is it a kernel issue or something else?

hmm strange.. First I thought it was a hardware problem. Never thought it was this deep in the software
Yeah I found it the hard way by going on vacation at the end of the summer, and while the video looked good, they were practically unwatchable do to the mic clipping. It's been written about here a lot. Also if you head over to the Amaze forums you'll see people complaining with the same issue.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread.....I had some time today to play around with some other sense 3.5 Roms. I tried the latest Insert Coin, Sensay, and Elegancia. If any of these Roms had the Amaze camera I flashed the stock sense 3.5 camera after wiping caches. To my amazement after doing some testing, the high Mic gain came back in stereo recording, just like it did in sense 3.0 roms. So I restored my backup of Bulletproof 2.2.1 and did some stereo recording with the stock 3.5 camera and it sounds normal and good, the way it should. So right now Bulletproof is the only 3.5 sense Rom doing it for me.
Anyone have an idea what is being overwritten in some of the other sense 3.5 roms that would cause the high Mic gain to come back? I have some ideas that it could be remnants of the amaze cam mod, since that is technically a sense 3.0 camera, or possibly the beats mod. Wish I knew because I'd love to jump on one of these other Roms but decent audio for video is important to me.
Again sorry to resurrect this thread.

Hi friends, I read a few threads about people complaining about poor microphone quality in phone calls. Well, even I am having the same issue, don't know if this is because of custom roms or what.
Also I noticed that, sensation has a two extra mics around camera, one near speaker and other two at bottom. But these extra mics seems to only work while recording videos. I have done some comparisons and Well sense/stock HTC camera records videos with excellent audio quality but when I'm on cm7 or miui the audio quality in video seems pretty average. Similarly when I was in cm7 Rom i never had people complaining about low microphone output. But on sense roms I have every caller asking me to speak more louder. So the point is, is there any mod or any dev can mod the sensation microphone to boost microphone gain? Maybe a fix for this in sense rom.
People, I would like to know your experiences too if you noticed the differences in other roms.

I have a similar problem. I tried a lot of ROMs on Android 4.0.3 and all-in microphone is very quiet! So far as I am suffering and I hope there will soon fix it.
HTC Sensation 4G microphone sucks

Same problem with my device. The phone is good for everything else except phone calls. I have complains to speak louder, also network coverage sucks. I've changed a lot of roms and kernels, but it's all the same. Maybe the phone is meant to as it should on 4G networks, I'm currently using on 2G GSM network.
If someone comes up with a solution, please PM. Thanks
