My dad wears hearing aids in both ears, and he recently got an inspire. I'll check with him tomorrow and see what his experience has been.
I know many people consider the volume level of the phone to be too low, I personally don't have any issue with it, but I don't get/make a lot of calls.
My Dad hasn't complained about it so far, and believe me, the guy isn't shy about returning things he isn't happy with, but I'll check with him anyway, and post again later in the day on Monday.

Thanks Scott, if you and your dad don't mind checking it (HAC on and Off)
while making a call it would be great to know what he thinks.

I'll see what I can do. I don't know if he even knows about the HAC mode. I know I didn't until your post.
I won't see him until later today, just doing my morning xda check-in, atm.

Well, he was in a hurry, but I managed to talk a litte bit about it.
I asked him if he knew about the HAC setting, and as I thought, he didnt, so I asked him how the phone was performing in terms of using it with hearing aids, and he actually said it's loud, and that he doesn't even need to use the external speaker, which surprised me.
That explains why I hadn't heard any complaints coming from him, or questions about the HAC mode.
When I briefly glanced at the setting on my phone, it's description does indeed say something like "boosts volume of incoming calls."
If I get the chance again I'll see if he can actually turn the setting on and give him a test call, as you suggested. Like I said, he was in a hurry to get to a dinner engagement.
May not be today, but if you subscribe to this thread, and then check it occasionally, I'll post back when I'm able to get an answer for you.

Thanks Scott, I really appreciate your efforts. By your dad saying that it was loud, they might have turned it on at the store for him, that would be good to know. The HTC support tech told me they have not had any complaints about the HAC, but I have had two phones in two days with the same problem.
capman231
That's something I didn't check. I will take a look at his phone, next time I see him.
I'll keep you posted. Having a dad with impaired hearing, and hoping I don't follow suit later in life, I can sympathize, and won't forget about you...

Thanks for the info gtg465x. Wonder if HTC is aware of this? I have been talking with them and I must say their tech support people are real nice and helpful. They actually speak english with out an accent which makes it easy if your hearing impaired like me. I was surprised that the techs I have been talking to are in Knoxville TN, only 2 hrs from me.
Is there anything you can tell me specifically about this problem that I can pass on to them?

Well on my phone I could hear the other party but they couldn't hear me. All they heard was an echo of themselves. Speakerphone mode worked fine though.
Well that got cleared up, thanks to gtg465x.

And its a darn fine thing, evidently, or else that new phone of his would've been back to Costco in a heartbeat.

Hello. This post is going to be semi rant semi help needed. I'm going to list the issues on my infuse. Feedback whether or not you have the same issues or a way to fix would be great. I'm getting pretty irritated with this phone though. Here we go!
Apps crash way more than they should. Browser, camera, music player, Facebook. Just random.
When receiving phone call, it just vibrates. Trust me, the volume is up all of the way. I go to change ringtone and that doesn't even make a sound. I have to reboot for my sound to work. Very frustrating.
Call quality. Jeeeeeesus Christ. I have never had a phone where the other person constantly says "what? I can't hear you?" Or "why does it sound like you're a mile away from your phone?" Or "take me off speaker phone!" I ASSURE YOU the phone is on my face, mic by my mouth, and outside where I have full bars.
And now as of today, I tried to show videos I took at warped tour 2 days ago and get the error "cannot view video" I literally took the video myself with the phone. Watched it before. But now I can't.
Smh.....
Stock rom, I am rooted but these have been on going before I decided to root.
Like I said in the beginning. This is a rant/cry for help.
If anyone is having the same issues or knows a fix, reply?
Thanks for reading

I haven't noticed any of the issues you seem to be having.
Call quality seems good, (at least nobody has said anything negative about it). Phone volume works as it should, apps don't crash any more than normal.
You definitely have a dud, you may just have to go through the Samsung Warranty.. their service is excellent. They don't ask many questions, they simply email you a UPS shipping label, you ship the phone back to them, then in a few weeks, you get it back.
Samsung Customer Support is really quite good(at least in my experience.)
It also sounds like your "stock" in that you have no clue what was done to your phone before it got in your hands. I'd try flashing a ROM (infused is my favorite), and deleting all the data to have a fresh install. May help
I've had the same call quality issues. I just posted a week or two ago with the same frustrations. Multiple people would tell me that I wasn't talking in to the phone. Glad to hear of this noise reduction stuff.
Althought you bought the phone on craigslist. the att warranty is not void. I had this happend to me before. get with the previous owner. ask them for the cell phone number, and explain to att that you bought the phone from him. they will send you a replacement.

I have three Sensation 4g's on Tmobile, and the microphone gain on *all* of them is very low. Everyone that we call has problems hearing us. Unless I cup the entire bottom of the phone and direct my speech right into the mic, it is very difficult for the listener to hear me.
Have any of you experienced this as well? Since it is like this on all three on my phones, I suspect it is a problem with the Sensation 4g and not my particular phones.
Is there a way to boost the mic gain? We love the phone in ever other respect (except for the pathetic speakerphone!) .. but this is turning out to be a deal breaker.
Thanks.
My wife and I both have Sensations. Nobody has ever told us they couldn't hear us and when we talk to each other, we can hear each other loud and clear. I don't know what's going on but it seems odd to be happening on all 4 of your phones.
Mic volume is good with me on two Sensations.

Thanks for putting down your experiences. If you don't mind my asking, how do you hold the phone? Is the listener able to hear you loud and clear if you hold the phone from the upper half of the phone, slightly angled away from the cheek (so that only the ear piece is touching the ear, and the rest of the phone doesn't touch the face)? Do you press the phone against your cheek to move the mic closer?
Thanks!
I would appreciate others' experiences as well. Need to decide soon if we're gonna trade the phones in for something else. On that note, any other Tmobile phones worth getting?

To tell you the truth, I don't have a certain way of holding my phone. I guess I usually hold it with the earpiece being the only part of the phone touching me and other times I hold it between my shoulder and cheek with no hands. I've never had anyone complain they couldn't hear me and I have never had a instance where I can't hear my wife load and clear.

I have the same problem. We have 3 sensations and especially the one that I have seems to have a low profile microphone or something. I get complaints all the time that people can't hear me. I believe WiFi calling make it worse for some reason. When I am on WiFi calling people complain more. But in general I believe there is a problem. I think this could also be related to voice tone and the way that voice cancellation optimizes the tone. If we are lucky, there could be a software update in future for this problem.

Update: Success after disabling wifi-calling
Thanks for the hint ceroglu. I disabled wifi calling and it immediately made a world of difference. The difference microphone gain ridiculous. It goes from barely intelligible, to *loud* even with the phone away from one's face. I wonder what causes this? I barely get any cellular signal at work, and the wifi calling would be useful. Wonder if this will be fixed after CM7 or something is release for it?
any fix yet?
I want to add to this, even though it was a while ago. My mother and my girlfriend both have this issue on both of their HTC Sensation 4g's. Has anyone came up with a solution? Neither of them use Wifi Calling. Both are stock roms not rooted, and no matter who talks on the phone they are extremely quiet on everyone elses phone when they call. My girlfriend is going to start wanting another phone here soon, so I was hoping there was a fix rather than spend a ton of money (which we don't have). Thanks

Sensation XE mic
I have also had people complain about it from my Sensation XE. I did a comparison with my old HTC Desire and the difference in call quality is massive. Not only is the mic a lot clearer on the other end but the ear-speaker is a lot clearer at my end too.
The Sensation XE sounds muffled, when people say they can't hear me (or usually "what?!") I speak louder, but actually it just makes it worse for the listener as the sound becomes more unclear/muffled the louder I talk.
Hope there is a fix soon from wither HTC (which I doubt) or a dev
This is a new one for me. It HAS to be some sort of malware. My phone keeps calling people on its own, and when its calling them it shows on my phone that they are calling me! It's not in my pocket when it happens most of the time, so I've ruled out pocket dialing. Has anyone seen this issue or ran into anything similar?
I can't help you, but it would help if you posted what changes you've made to your phone.
ie: rom, theme, addons, dialer

I'm running a fresh install of infused 1.6. Its been quite some time since I have installed anything. I installed Lookout to see if would find anything. It didn't. My phone has done this 3 times to 3 different people in a 5 hour span. All with the same situation. It says I am getting a call from them, their phone says they are getting a call from me.
No one else has seen this issue?
If it's still happening try reflashing.

I can't understand why people are jumping ship, the Thunderbolt is a GREAT phone and, with the right ROM is all anyone would ever need!
I'm sticking with it for two reasons:
1. because it's so perfect that nobody could ever wish for a better phone and
2. because UPS didn't deliver my Galaxy SIII today. It should be here tomorrow.

What do you plan on doing with the old Bolt? IF you are going to make it a paper weight might I ask for it. Mine lost the top half of the screen and the ear speaker is out. Not good when unemployed so looking for a free phone?
Thank you,
Even though I jumped ship to a DNA, my use of the Thunderbolt is not over. It now serves as my music player and as a GPS unit. It is now more convenient since having 1 phone and using it for GPS, it would be a pain when you get a phone call and then you end up lost or whatever. Now I can answer my calls and speak my texts as I'm driving with my DNA while still being able to navigate. So for me, my Thunderbolt is still very much active.

Yea, like I said, my biggest issue is actually the camera button, I give it a love tap everytime I grab the phone. Thankfully its not an instant on, otherwise that would be a problem.
Its good to see though, that even with this minor (I believe its a minor) issue, its still a great phone. There is no way you can make the location of the buttons perfect for everyone since were all built with different fingers and hands.
And I didn't keep the TB, sold it back to Verizon for 33 bucks, and with the 8X on sale for 99, its nice to only pay 66 bucks for an over 500 dollor phone!
AND I think I FINALLY have the start screen where I want it. Now just have to figure out how to reduce the size of all my songs. With all the songs on, I maxed out the memory. Surprising, its still wicked fast with only 30mb free! WoopWoop!

Im having a really weird issue with the sound quality in call between my gf and me both on nexus 5s. I have had mine for a few weeks, she liked it and picked one up about a week ago. The sound for both of us is hard to describe but it sounds tinny, a high hiss, metallic when one of us are talking, when we're not there is no static, hiss anything, only when talking, almost changing our voices. Neither of us experience this talking to any one else at all. We don't live together so I talk to her regularly and I was thinking somehow it was with one of our towers while at our homes but I have other family that lives blocks from her and on tmo and we don't get this. So we tried in different locations and the same thing so that's out. The weird thing is I can hang up, call her using my google voice number and it is crystal clear, call back using my tmo number and right back to the same sound.
I'm not sure where to go with this. I know I can just use my GV number but it's driving me crazy trying to figure out why the hell it would do this. Any help or insight is appreciated.
If you are both on T-Mobile you are experiencing HD voice. It's a bit jarring at first, but you get used to it.
My wife moved from the HTC One to the Moto X and it doesn't support HD Voice like the One and Nexus 5 does. I miss it.

It doesn't "change your voice" though...it just sounds more like a landline than a cell phone. It's a good difference when I use it.

That wasn't my description. I agree it sounds much better. It's just a little odd when you're experiencing it for the first time after years of poor voice quality.

No idea where I got that.
That's true.
Hmm, HD Voice huh. It really doesn't sound soo HD to me. I did a little digging on this and looked up the phones that are capable and both our old phones were. Until we both had a N5 it didn't sound like this. I trust that this is it but i'm not a fan if this is what they call HD. But like you said maybe we'll get used to it.
Thanks for the info!
