To Those That Have Gotten The New Tmobile OTA.... - HTC Sensation

...has the low outgoing mic issue and low incoming sound issue during WIFI Calling been addressed?

Sounds like the volume of the speakerphone has been slightly raised on calls made through Wifi, though it's still not on par with regular GSM calls. I don't know why this is a difficult thing to do..
People have said media volume was also improved slightly. Not sure whether I hear a difference. The update does make the software better overall.

Issue With Phone audio

Hey guys n gals, I have a slight issue here with my mom's Inspire 4g.
The sound seems to quit when ever a call is received or made, unless a headset is attached or its on Speakerphone. What I mean is that the personon the other end cannot hear us, but we can hear them. Sometimes we can't hear them either and the other person only hears them self talking.
It works perfectly during a call with Bluetooth, Wired Headset and speakerphone.
Does this sound like a software bug or a hardware defect?
Its the original stock Rom from ATT and is not rooted.

[Q] Weird hissing buzzing noise on HD call audio ear speaker when other person talks

Slight hissing / buzzing noise in the ear speaker when other person talks when HD call audio is enabled. This only happens on the ear speaker when HD call audio is enabled, and only when the other person talks.
If HD call audio is disabled then there is not hissing or buzzing.
There is no hissing / buzzing with HD call audio when using ear phones or speaker phone.
I looked on some other forums and a few people had the same issue. Any ideas what the cause of this is or if there is a fix?

I had to call Verizon and they did some updates on all our phones. Helped a lil but not much.
I noticed this too. However, I recently had to disable advanced calling due to terrible service and numerous dropped calls. Since turning it off, I haven't had any issues, but my battery shows cell standby at over 50%. Odd.

Im no expert at all, but the cell standby may be because of using the cellular network as opposed to the LTE network for VoLTE " HD voice". I have noticed a lot les drain since using HD. Just my 1.5 cents.
Im not on Verizon but have the exact same thing with my T-Mobile S7. Hissing with every word the other person says. When I turn off wifi calling and VOLTE which puts out a non HD call it is fine. Not sure what is causing it. I thought HD voice was suppose to be better?
Dont know if you solved this problem but I just had a similar one on Tmobile. When using wifi calling callers would get a high hissing sound kind of like a fax machine. When I had the wifi calling off, calls came in just fine. After trying everything, it ended up being one of the Themes I was using from the Samsung Theme store. As soon as I changed it back to the default theme, the problem disapeared.

Call quality

When you call granny, does she keep saying "Huh?! Wut?!" or does the conversation flow pretty well? Rate this thread to express how you feel about the Huawei Nexus 6P's call quality. A higher rating indicates that calls are clear and crisp, and that regardless of background noise, you can hear the other party clearly (and with ample volume) and they can hear you.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Call quality is just fine. However I have a bug where if I start a call on speaker then switch to handset, the mic is muted. Gah!
When you hang up while you were on speaker, do you still here that annoying peep !!!!!!

Call quality is excellent but on T-mobile, I randomly lose LTE data and only get it back by rebooting the phone. Not cool.
2 Verizon phones here, many callers complaining of the call sounding "muffled" on their end....have found other reports online of the same issue. Pretty good on my end, but apparently not so great on the receiving end.
Google Fi and have had no issues with call quality. Though today I had issues with my proximity sensor not detecting right during a call.
Did the conference call to compare nexus 6 with the 6p. Definitely muffled sound. The other party always complain. So returning this unit, getting another one tomorrow. On t-mobile network.
On Verizon, i get a noticable buzz as my contact is talking and my volume is Medium high or above. on headset. Has anyone else experienced this?
Sounds like mixed results so far. For those that say it's muffled, what are you comparing the call quality to?

With HD calls on T-Mobile I hear static behind every sound. Besides that everything is fine and calls sound great

Mine almost sounds like the speaker is blown out during calls but not when music is played or anything. Also, if I connect Bluetooth during calls or a device other than the phone speaker, the static goes away :-/
I'm getting a very clean call quality on Google Fi. It's much louder on both ends compared to my old 2013 Moto X on Verizon.
As with previous Nexii, the proximity sensor doesn't work properly. Sometimes when ending a call, I take the phone away from my face and notice the notification shade pulled down, because the proximity sensor didn't activate and turn the screen off soon enough.
Also slightly muffled on most calls for verizon.. Only time it's not may be when it's on HD calling with someone who has it..

I posted a fix for this over on reddit. Apparently what is happening is the noise cancellation is interpreting your voice as noise and is attempting to cancel it resulting in a muffled sound. Turning off in call noise cancellation seems to solve the problem. To do this you need to edit your build.prop. The easiest way is to download a build.prop editor. Open it up, locate persist.audio.fluence.voicecall, and change it to false. Save and reboot. Should solve the muffled sounding voice problem.

Thanks, I know that's the fix....it just blows that root is required (I could easily do it to mine but my wife has no desire to let me root hers). After experimenting, the easiest "fix" I've found is to just make sure the bottom speaker is more in line with your mouth and that you don't let the phone "slouch" more vertically (resulting in the bottom speaker being closer to your shoulder).
I am on T-mobile in the US... I was getting comments like speak up.. Sound like you are in a tunnel.. It turns out that covering the noise cancelling mic on the back with your shoulder or a pillow etc causes a problem..
It seems like you have to have root to turn off that feature.
But most of the time calls are clear...
I'm switching from my Nexus 6 and so far my reception is better, and my wife says that she can hear me much better than on my old phone. I am using project Fi

If you use Bluetooth or actually hold your phone, then you will be fine. It seems that the problems appear when you try to use the phone without hands by placing it on your shoulder and covering the rear noise cancelling mic.

Bad voicecall quality, no issues on when on speaker

Hi,
When making a phone call, the receiver of my call complaints that he almost can't hear what I'm saying. When I then switch to speaker, I can be heard fine. Isn't the phone using the same mic for both normal conversation and speaker phone?
Is there maybe an issue with noise reduction? I remember back with the Nexus phones, that the noise reduction could sometimes make a phone call difficult to hear.
(OnePlus 7 Pro on 9.5.11 and now also with 10)

Are you speaking directly into the mic? Is it noisy around you? Is it noisy around the other person? Are you yelling into the mic 1 cm away from it? Is it fine if you leave it off speaker but move the device further away?

Hi,
I have same issues with my phone. I have tried with both EU and international roms.
If someone have a solution I take it :good:
Similar issues here.
It's actually my biggest complaint with this device. Being on a Canadian carrier and thus not having VoLTE or WiFi probably isn't helping either.

I disabled VOLTE and Wifi and this seems to improve quality a little bit.

Sorry for the long delay......
- Yes, directly into the mic
- Not noisy on both sides, tested this today again with my son in our house. It was quiet
- Not yelling, just normal volume.
- Doesn't change when moving the phone away
To add, it seems that calling with WhatsApp voice is a little better and voice call through DUO is really good. Don't understand this.

Question S22 Ultra Echo during phone calls

I am on T-mobile USA and had no such issues on S21, but people that call me complain that hear their own echo. I do use speakerphone on S22 quite often so not sure if this only happens with/without speakerphone during calls. Also, I get no issues on my end, it is always the people on other side that call me. I am in great coverage area and have WiFi calling off.
Anyone with such issues? Hopefully it is not a hardware issue...
EDIT: After extensive testing and trying in "safe mode" I have concluded that the microphone has hardware defect. When I made some test calls with Speakerphone enabled, I get "hiss, static, crackle, white noise" and garbled audio on the other end.
Can't say I have had that issue. I'm on Tmobile USA as well and with Wifi Calling and without it I have no had any complains about call quality..
Will try the speaker call and see

echo is when somebody is listening (tapped) your conversation
I've had it happen once or twice before. One thing you can do is run a diagnostic on the microphone and see if that tells you more.

Thanks guys, after extensive testing and trying in "safe mode" I have concluded that the microphone has hardware defect. When I made some test calls with Speakerphone enabled, I get "hiss, static, crackle, white noise" and garbled audio on the other end.
Sucks that I will have to send it in for a repair as Samsung US does not have option to replace a defective/DOA device even within 14 days of delivery.
I am not surprised at getting a DOA phone though as COVID-19 and supply chain issues is probably affecting QA and manufacturing standards.
That sucks man, I hope you get that fixed soon!
I have had that happen on wifi calling... When my wifi connection isn't so good.
Happening on a Rogers S22 Ultra. I've had it go away when I rebooted the phone previously, but today everyone who called me or who I called had speakerphone echo. One test in safe mode showed that it was gone but it's inconclusive. Samsung has terrible speakerphones for years, how can they not get this basic phone functionality right. I upgrade twice a year for better battery and hoping for better speakerphone.
Hope there's a fix soon.. how do you do a hardware test? I don't have wifi on

Did you get the repairs completed successfully and your phone back?
A reboot will fix it but the WIFI calling echo returns right after you complete a video call. Does not matter what video calling app you use. Could be Duo, WhatsApp, etc... Try it and you will see. I wish there was a fix for this.
Problem finally solved. Turn off the Samsung video call effects and reboot. The WIFI echo calling problem will be gone never to return!!
