I guess the Sensation is not the first device to have this problem -
When using Fring, the front-facing camera shows my face as upside down to the other person , which means I have to rotate it 180 degs for them to see me right, which obviously means I get to see freaky people who's hair are defying gravity and who speak from their foreheads..
Anyways, I googled for solutions and found out that fring support apparently has an apk which has fixed this issue and they are sending it to people individually when they open a service ticket (no such luck at my end so far)...
But I thought it's worth throwing out here to see if anybody else has such an apk to share with all of us.
Thanks in advance,
mOrph
anybody with an apk? anybody at all??
I know this is a stupid question but have you tried reinstalling it?

Yes I did. Tried reinstalling. Having done a coupla hours of google searching, what I found out is Sensation isnt the first or only device to have this issue.
I finally heard back from Fring support. Here's what they had to say -
"Hello,
Thank you for contacting our support team.
Please note that the handset you are currently using is not officially supported by fring.
We are aware of the issue and working to solve it in the near future.
Make sure to check our blog for version updates http://www.fring.com/blog
Please feel free to contact us again should you have any further queries."
I am also having this problem, although I do have to say that is not just a problem with fring. I also have the same problem using the T-Mobile Qik video chat. I have seen fixes for the problem for other devices that would probably work, assuming I had a rooted phone...
Has anyone found a way to fix this without root??? This is the only thing wrong with my T-Mobile Sensation.
And please don't tell me to hold the phone upside down, that is not an acceptable solution.
Also it would be interesting to find out if there is anyone who doesn't have this problem. Considering this is the only thread about it, I'm beginning to think that this is a problem only on certain devices.
Tango works fine download that
I can confirm that Tango does work correctly, although the audio seems quite garbled. Hard to hear the other person, although they were on 3g at the time and not on WiFi.
Qik said they are working on an update to support the sensation.
So does the Sensation have an upside down front facing camera and just correct for it in the software? It seems weird that the video is upside down. I would understand having no video, as that could be a driver problem, or an interface problem.

I have a very low volume voice during calls. the volume of the phone is 100% but still you can't hear anything in public places.
I'm now using the speaker during calls...any help?
I've got the same problem does anone know what can I do??
I had this problem try this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=429436
But using that method gives distortion to the sound, I am also having issues hearing who I´m talking with but it MUST be fixed by HTC either through update or getting a new device when they fix the problem.
But AudioPara3.zip has a bug
New AudioPara3.zip indeed turn the volume louder, but has a bug: the receiving call phone ring doesn't stop when turn Touch Pro face down as the original AudioPara3.zip does and the specifications annouce.
May be it's possible to contact the author of new AudioPara3.zip, I don´t know who is, and ask him to correct the bug.
Thanks very much.

Does it produce distortion with that program?
Although I love my TP I'm almost at the stage where I'm going to get rid of it....the volume during calls is pathetic..and despite all it's other features..it is afterall, supposed to be a phone. And if I can't use it for calls then it has just about no use to me.
I really fail to understand what these manafacturers do when they are testing a new device before its launch. Omission of such a basic problem only reflects as a disgrace to HTC. Hope this will be corrected through a ROM update. I have a diamond and I was seriously considering an upgrade to the Touch Pro. Now I will wait if and when this problem is corrected.
I can only sympthasize with those who own this device and are suffering the ignorance of HTc.
Regards
I'm not sure a ROM upgrade wil be able to do anything as from all the reading I've done, it's a hardware problem.
I've just spent an hour or so looking for alternative phones and sadly there's nothing that I would feel happy about buying...and nothing coming in the near future either...or does anyone know of anything?
The TP was for me the ultimate purchase, everything about it was perfect....until I discoverd I couldn't hear anyone on the phone!!

You hope in vain.. I will quote:
"[..]However I can also see that these issues do not effect everyone, we have had a lot of good feedback regarding this device[..]"
So yes, HTC thinks that touch pro is close to perfection.
What should you all do? Contact and tell them about those problems, tell them that's a GENERAL ISSUE NOT A ONE DEVICE SPECIFIC ISSUE.

Don't forget, this issue will not disappear/fix by itself. So if you care, then implicate yourself .
My phone has a problem in QIK for TMOB. It does not work with the back camera only works with front facing camera. But I downloaded regular Qik app from market and it does work perfectly. Does anyone else has this problem?
Also you might be wondering if regular qik works, what is the problem? The problem is when somebody calls me I am not able to flip my camera (I guess the tmob app opens up.) Then I have to call them back using regular qik and everything works fine.
By the way my phone is not rooted and nothing has been moded.

Well when most of these problems occur their is three routes you can usually take:
1) Uninstall the update that happened when you first opened the T-mobile Qik and than re-update it.
2)Just freeze/uninstall the T-mobile app from your phone and just use market one.
3)Yell at the heavens and curse T-mobile for condemning the G2x to a life burdened with bloatware.

I like your 3rd option....
On a serious note, I tried the first solution you gave, but it did not work for me somehow. And I guess the second option needs rooting, which I am still not comfortable with. I came from HD2. I did lots of testing there but I didn't care about that phone anymore. But I love this phone which I don wanna mess up.
Anyways, thanks for the suggestions.

Well on a serious note rooting for this phone is cake and with oneclickroot you can unroot the phone too if your heart desires. Plus when you root you can change alot of simple settings to extend battery life and make the phone run better!

No problem someone had to push me my first time rooting too. And after you root look at the link in my sig for some tips on how to get more battery life.
When I opened Qik it said there was an update and directed me to the Market. With Record and Share open, when you hit menu, there's a button to switch the camera between front and back.
When I use Qik video calling the person on the other end says I am upside down.
I've had this issue before in the past with certain roms causing the issue.
I only have 1 buddy that has Qik for me to test..
My question..
Does anybody else have this issue or is it most likely my buddies rom on his phone?
UPDATE : I can now confirm qik works. My buddies phone was what was causing the problem.

hard to tell and honestly I haven't used the front camera much lately but it does work for me using Tango app... I had heard of this issue way back on early GB leaks but have no idea why its doing it on the stock OTA, must be an app issue or could be your friends phone/rom
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
I'm really not sure what happened at first I thought it was a software problem but after checking all the roms on my Multirom including my OG stock ROM and it seems to me my mic is broken. I noticed it because I use voice to text and voice search allot and it was working fine on Preview LPX13D and the white Preview LPX13D for the N5 and then it just seemed to stop working at some point. I was going to post this in the Preview LPX13D thread but after testing it in all rom and doing a factory reset to stock unrooted and the problem is still there. so i'm guessing I'am just burnt and have to send my phone back to Google. My step dad gave it to me for xmas last year tho so I don't have the order # and or was not bought by me. I guess I will contact him and see if he will send it back for me. I was posting this to see if there was a solution i was unaware of because I did see a few people posting about the same problem when L first dropped but I didn't see any solutions and i'm guessing most people just sent there's in. If I'am not able to send it back to Google What part should I order to fix it. Is it the Speaker phone part that has both mics on it or the flex cable? Thanks to everyone for their help and advance and to all of the Devs for all their hard work.

I ended up sending my phone back I tried everything to fix it.
I am having the same issue. I can't make out what the fault is. I have googled extensively and it could be one of these:
1. Noise cancellation microphone
2. Earphone jack that doesn't recognise when the earphones are removed
3. A hardware malfunction.
The thing is that I have tested all of these.
1. Covering the noise cancellation mic or fiddling with the build.prop makes no difference
2. I have tried to turn off the headphones while they were in using an app from the play store. Didn't solve the problem
3. Installed a noise meter app and when I blow /tap straight on the grill were the mic is house, there is recognition. Also tested using Google voice search. Also recognised some words. Finally, if i make a call and put the phone in speaker mode the person on the other side hears me loud and clear. So not the hardware (I don't think)
I google some more and noticed that a number of phones have this issue not just the Nexus 5. For example the OnePlus One (https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/microphone-problem.91832/page-3), the Moto G (http://www.androidpure.com/how-to-fix-the-no-sound-during-calls-issue-on-the-moto-g/) the HTC One X (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2283990), the LG Optimus (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2461432) and probably more.
So, could this be a broader problem with Android itself? I have too many questions.
Hopefully somebody brilliant from this forum will see this and apply their genius minds.

I was unable to find a solution for it. I sent my phone back to Google and got a New one. If you got yours from the play store less than a year ago you maybe able to get them to replace it.
Whenever I call people on the loudspeaker, the person on the other end says I sound muffled or crackly. Anyone else have the same issue. Fastboot flashed stock rom and made no difference.
Yeah I've been having the same issue since the phone came out. Not sure if it can be fixed or not with a software update.
Glad it isn't just me
same here!
yea having the same issue
Try recording a video of yourself using the front facing camera, how does it sound?
Sent from my GM1917 using Tapatalk
I have the same proplem. Any now if it is software or harsware issue.
also when i hit the on/off button for waking the phone up the front camera is going up and down.
I have the same issue, Microphone works fine in other apps
Same problem here, spoke with support and they unable to help. I've had this problem for a while now and considering getting rid of this phone if no fix very soon. Unfortunately this has put me off ever buying oneplus again.
