I just got my Sensation like 3 days ago and i have had a few friends when talking to them tell me i come in muffled and have a hard time understanding me. Has anyone else have thier friends say this? I would think with the dual mics and noise canceling this phone would have perfect voice quality. And is it possible for the rom/radio to affect this?
Are u running the latest fota

I see they release 1.1.3 today but i dont see anything about voice quality.

A friend who called me right after the OTA upgrade said I sounded terrible, and that I never sounded terrible before. "S" sounds are impossible to hear. I mean impo ible.
O, when I call omebody, thi i what I ound like.
I would think this topic would have some legs. Either everybody here is on a custom rom or everybody is too busy playing with the update to notice voice calls are crappy on the other end.

Yajinni, I've had the same problem with my HTC Sensation since purchasing it 3 weeks ago. People tell me I sound muffled and like I'm under water. And other times it's clear for a moment then goes muffled again.
I'm still also looking for a solution and will post here if I find one. Please let me know if you manage to resolve it too.
Best regards,
Lex
Do you guys have some kinda protector case on your phone? My old lady did before and I couldn't ever understand what she was saying when it was on her phone

when just using the phones mic my wife cant hear me, she says I am muffled too. 2.3.4
hi guys, i am on mike's Revolution ROM, with the same muffled voice quality as described. It may not be something easily detected (since you can't hear your own voice!) but it is definitely a real problem.
Desperately searching for a solution, if there is one.

in case anyone is interested... voice quality issues with the previous radios/RILs have vanished with the new base!
Yes me too, muffled voice on both my Sensations so far, although the second one is marginally better.

hi all,
I got the update to the latest android yesterday on my htc sensation. smooth upgrade, happy with the new stuff. I did notice though that the audio level of incoming audio was incredibly soft when i tried to talk to my wife through the new voice/video chat of GTalk. Did anyone else notice this? any fixes?
regards
I'm still on stock 2.3.3 but I'm thinking too that talk volume (normal phone, not google voice) is rather low, at least compared to my iphone 3gs.
Can this be fixed?
I believe that is a kernel feature that may or may not be able to be adjusted but if you find something let us all know that is the only negative of this beast

Hey guys,
since a few days my Sensation XE has some random wierd sound issues. Its nearly the same as the sound issue on the HTC One X ,which got fixxed by a hotfix (i think today or few days ago) by HTC ota update.
I found a thread in the One X forum, which explains it really well.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1584053
A hard reset wasnt helping either. It still has this sound bug.
I am running Sensation XE stock Rom with Sense 3.6 and ICS 4.0.3 with T-mobile as carrier.
Is this a common problem on the XE and is there a fix for this?
Its really hard to hear any music, because this stutter is really hurting my ears sometimes.
The HTC support told me to get use of the garanty, because they have no idea.
I would likely stay at stock ROM if this is possible, because i am a big noob to Android Phones and rooting and i dont want to mess things up.
with regards
Mydy
[EDIT] Its not Beats Audio. If i disable it nothing changes. Sound bug is still there. I am using stock music app. Using PowerAmp hasnt helped either.
So i am still here and i didnt find a solution.
I tested this problem with an other SD card, but the problem is still there.
I am now also considering to root my phone, if someone knows if it will fix it (maybe because it is a known bug with Sense 3.6)
P.S: help me

You can give it a try if you feel crafty!
I will give it a try =)

i will post more if i know more
So... I tryed this method in a different way. at first i used the musicplayer without a backcover. Soundbug still there.
Good thing i had two different backcovers for my sensation i exchanged my backcover with a new one. Soundbug still there.
The next day i tried hearing some music (i thought i would get the soundbug like i did before). But i DIDN'T! It is completly gone now. I dont know why. I had the bug with exchanging the backcover. Then over the night it was gone. I still believe that this bug is still there in a weird way, but maybe i am just a bid paranoid >_>
But i am still thinking that something is wrong with my phone.
Now some of my pictures i had on my phone are getting distorted, like half of the picture is green and a bid shifted.
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.

Hi all! I've been facing a very strange problem on my sensation XE since August.
The microphone doesn't work; let me explain better:
1-when recording with any app, I hear much noise (Google Now can't detect speech for example). I can hear my voice in the recording, but it's covered by noise.
2- Mic in call doesn't work at all. Well, I can hear my voice coming out from MY (!) speaker. The phone just sends noise to the other end.
The mic has worked correctly only for three days in October, then nothing more. If I plug Beats headphones with microphone, everything works ok using the external mic.
Things I tried: all sorts of wipe, different kinds of rom (Sense based, aosp, GB, ICS, JB), reinstalling firmware, stock RUU, ecc). I am currently on bruce2728's CM10.
Anyone got an idea? I couldn't find anyone having the same symptoms.
Thanks in advance
If everything is working fine with an external mic, then I am pretty sure it's a hardware failure.. Your phone's internal mic is damaged and need to be replaced.

At first i thought so, but what makes me wonder is that,during calls,the mic works! Just it sends output to my speaker and not to the other end,but without noise. So I believe it's some kind of strange software problem

i have the same same problem with rockyjacky..however, my problem is far way worst because people can't hear me when they called me..the only time they can hear me is when i am the one who is calling them..i have tested to make calls to see whether they are joking or something but the thing is, the problem is real..it is like my mic is been muted.
i think it is not a hardware problem since they can hear me when i called them..so, can anybody explain why such thing to happen?they cannot hear me when they are the one who are calling me.
rooted my htc inspire in march and used it for a few months with the revolution hd rom. everything worked fine, i gave the phone to my mom since i switched to verizon. about two weeks in she was complaining that people cant hear her on the phone, sure enough i can hear people fine but they cant hear me. ive tried speakerphone as well, and it has the same issue. when i use the sound recorder app, the playback sounds like alot of static, i can hear myself if i listen real closely.
is there any other app/method i can use to troubleshoot to know if i ireally have to replace the mic? and should i just try another rom to see if it improves?
anyone?
