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
I've also had complaints... People asking me if I'm far away from my phone but I'm not....

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

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.

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.

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...

Meltus' only app that "officially" supports the S4G is the Volume+ sound hack. It works for me but it is not free. I think its 1.60usd. All I can say is to try it for 15 mins and play with the settings as I did or try the other threads settings to see if it works for you before the 15 mins are up.
if you reed the description, the app is paid on the market, but their is a download link of the same program, but slightly older version (still going to be updated in the future, as far as i know) that you can get from the developers website.

I cant get volume+ to work after i bought it. It tells me "(process com.TEST.android.lvh) has stopped unexpectedly. please try again" I have PlayerPro installed. could that be causing the conflict?
ok quick question and theory here. i bought the standard case from bodyglove from tmobile with my sensation, and i just took it off and notice lil holes all over the back of the phone. i know alot of devices with speakers and mics have this to do sound cancellation and what not. if u guys got cases on maybe the case is muffling the sounds and making the volume super low just cause i thinks it doesnt have to be loud. i doubt this is the reason but just wanted to throw it out there.
You can try Equalizer from the market. I got it and it definitely works.

My only complaint is battery life which is a 4G thing. You're probably aware, but if I'm not mistaken the TB battery life is smaller than the Revo's.
Expect to disable your data a lot, and run WiFi often. There is a great dev community though!

Those headphones may not be compatible with the ThunderBolt either. I use the Bose MIE2 and they are very nice but pricey. Good sound, especially with the equalizer set to R&B, call button works and I use software to also use the call button to advance tracks and boost the volume occasionally when outdoors.
Some people have problems with the phone rebooting and occasional data connectivity issues but this is probably being fixed soon. I don't have these problems any more and I suspect the great majority of people have these issues very infrequently or not at all. Biggest issue for most people is battery life but I'm used to having a couple of spare batteries on all my phones so I don't give it a second thought.
Thanks, Robrecht
the only common problem seems to be reboots that they are releasing a fix for. Of course that fix has been delayed at least once.
My wife and I have only had 1 reboot each in 2 weeks with the phones. Other than that, it bogs down occasionally so I have a task killer I use manually when that happens. The phone takes forever to reboot...
Battery life sucks. You can do all those things that are counterproductive to having a smartphone like turning off data, turning off wifi, turning down the screen brightness...
I just bought 2 extra batteries with chargers so I switch them out as needed. The thunderbolt is pretty slow at charging batteries. I could go from 20-30% on my hd7 to a full charge in around an hour, but this phone takes 3-4.
Overall, it is a good android device. Right now for verizon it's either lte (thunderbolt, charge, revolution) or dual core (x2).
I went for the network speeds and don't regret it.
If you are worried about your headphones not working with a phone, make sure to test the headphones on the Thunderbolt display model before buying.

Ok, so far it looks like people are indeed seeing improved signal and speeds.
What seems up in the air is the speaker volume (some are louder, some are not...)
Also unanswered as yet is how this update affects battery life. At least one person is saying his battery has gotten worse...

I think it would be better getting opinions after a week. Tonight, for my area at least, there was a data outage. I called sprint on another issue and they knew about the data and said it was nationwide. I made the impatient mistake (again) of using the samsung flasher back to stock. Every time I do that, I have to call sprint and have them reset something with my phone and the towers. I get error 16's.
am i missing something.........how are people testing the speakerphone? that is the only thing I really wanted from this update (along with 3G updates since I don't get 4G), and I notice no difference WHATsoever.
were they referring to alarm sounds, music, phone calls....what? did anyone have to perform a hard reset to notice the difference? the sounds have no difference in volume to me, especially phone calls and music.
Wow, google effed this one up. I now have a constant connection to my airave, full bars all the time. Only problem is I cant recieve calls now, they go straight to voicemail. Sprint rep says its a technical issue with the update and it will be looked into. In the mean time I have to unplug my airave and roam at home :/
Yea, as long as signal bars are not green I can recieve a call, as soon as they turn green it goes straight to voicemail. Also, my phone does ring alot louder now.
I've seen really no difference from 2.3.4 to 2.3.5.

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.

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.
