Hello all,
I got a strange problem with my Sensation XE, which causes me headaches.
I recently updated my stock Sensation XE firmware to the official HTC release of Android ICS, after i got notified about it.
Everything went well, and there were no problems upgrading whatsoever. However after a couple hours, i faced a weird problem.
The sound stopped working in apps like youtube, soundboards etc.
The strange thing about it, is that the media volume is on, also the stock music player works, and it seems like there is nothing wrong. After restarting the phone everything works fine again for a couple of hours.
Things i already tried:
- Googled it, to see if others had the same problem -> no solutions.
- asked a lot of other HTC sensation users if they encountered this problem.
- Searched this forum for solutions.
Also, i'm not using the stock headset, but a Beats Solo HD, with the remote which came with it. Is it possible that the phone gets confused or something?
Thanks for any replies in advance!
It's a known bug, and there's no fix as of yet.
Well that sucks, ah well, hope they'll fix it soon. Thanks!

Hello all!
I am a noob on here so if this has been asked or brought up before please forgive me. I couldn't find any info on this issue. After installing 2.3.4 on my sensation (I am running stock out of the box) I notice when I connect the phone to wifi and use wifi calling that when I use the speaker phone on my phone, the person on the other end can no longer hear me. The person just says hello over and over and totally cuts off the mic on my phone. When I enter it back to the regular headset, it continues to be cut off. When I try troubleshooting the issue I connected to the t mobile network it works just fine. Only when I use the wifi calling feature does this happen. Does this happen to anyone else? Is this a known bug? I did a battery pull and this did not fix the problem. Any suggestion or feed back would be much appreciated. Thank you everyone!
Not one person is having this issue? Can anyone help out there? At least let me know if it is a known issue. I know the speaker phone is terrible but I'm only trying to find out if there is a fix for this.
Thanks!
HTC Sensation Speakerphone does not work on WIFI
I am having the same issue. Speakerphone does not work over Wifi. Person on the other end cannot hear me and I often cannot hear them. When I am not using Wifi, speakerphone works fine. Version 2.3.4 seemed to improve speakerphone volume, but it still does not work over Wifi. I contacted HTC tech support and they said while they were unaware of the problem, but it is possible that it exists. They said they would investigate. We will see. Not sure whether the HTC Amaze has the same problem.
I had the same issue till I S-offed and flashed a new ROM. I think it's something with TMO's factory ROM they have the speaker function turned way down and my first Sensation would do just what urs is.
Rec: Unlock (S-off) and flash a new ROM (I personally am running CoreDroid 2.4)
I'm on ARHD 3.6.2 and non speaker phone works ok, but on speaker I've been told its hard to hear.
I am also having a same issue. I've opened up a ticket with t-mobile. T-mobile techs are looking into this issue. Yesterday I went to the store from which I purchased my sensations and showed them the issue. We tested the issue with other HTC android devices but only sensation is having this Issue.
I noticed this problem a couple months ago, and am surprised there hasn't been a software update to fix it. In the meantime, I just shut off wifi if I expect to make a phone call using the speaker phone, which is somewhat annoying.
Has anyone else been having trouble with the mic? Sometimes when I try to do a voice search my phone doesn't hear me. Nothing to do with noisy environment or anything...just doesn't seem to be on or something.
Recently I installed Vlingo since they finally fixed it for the Sensation. At first it worked fine. Then the next time I tried it I got nothing. When I started a search manually, Vlingo has a sound meter-like graphic and it was like it was picking up lots of noise! Normally, this meter would have nothing visible until you speak but it was as if it was picking up lots of noise or something.
It seems random when my mic seems to fail or not.
Anyone have any ideas???
Hmm, not quite sure what is wrong, this phone is cool, but has all sorts of problems...
I hear HTC is good about replacing your phone though, shoot HTC an email, or call them, I've heard they are very nice about hooking people up with a brand new one at no cost.
May as well try it!
(Please hit thanks if I helped you! Just takes a second!)
I had the same experience with Vlingo recently. Love the app, but they haven't seemed to work out all the bugs. Are you on stock or custom ROM?
Stock T-Mobile. I wonder if it's a Vlingo thing?
I have other issues with the phone (Sense 3.0 keeps rebooting, etc.) but I guess that's for another thread...me too. Love the phone but...

Sorry to drag up an old thread but did you ever find a solution to this? I seem to be having a similar problem with my microphone but I'm not even using Vlingo...
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 =)
ty
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.
I should have posted this in DEV subforum, but I have not enough posts to do so, so please accept my apologies.
I have seen this issue already mentioned here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27821443&postcount=661
This is the same issue I have. I've used this ROM since it's out, about a month and had no problems. But now I have to restart my DS after each call (and some more events I didn't figured out for now), otherwise my mic doesn't work even on calls as well as speaker and headphones (these doesn't fail so often as mic).
I've tried to wipe data,cache,dalvik. It helped for a few days, now problem is back.
Does one have ideas ?
does people you are speaking to only hear a strange noise?
Yes, I was told about wind/alien sounds.
As far as I remember, I have encountered this issue after having my phone on vibrations-only mode. After about 1 hour - 2 hours I've turned volume up and there was no sound, no music.
I have made some phone calls too, but I haven't encountered that issue, neither poeple that I was sepaking haven't told me that they are hearing strange noises.
After I restarted device, it worked again, and after 1-2h audio system stopped functioning.
This was serious bug so I reverted back to CM 7.2.
Other functions worked almost perfectly.
So I'm waiting for official update.
P.S. I hadn't enough posts too to report it in developement section.

i read on an old forum topic that this might come from poweramp app. i cheked and found out that this app was upgraded only a day before this first happened (june 22nd). so i uninstalled it, rebooted, wiped cache and dalvik cache and the problem seemed to have gone. two days later i installed a new update of poweramp and this thing immediately came back. i uninstalled the app again and now i'm testing if it wasn't just a coincidence..
do you have poweramp installed?
Yes, I have Poweramp installed.
test this yourself and report..
Already uninstalled Poweramp, lets's see...
any news? mine is working fine for three days now without poweramp.
For me it's just a day without Poweramp and without problems. So I'm still not 100% sure that it's Poweramp's fault. But it's probably the time to thank you! :good:
Btw, I didn't wipe anything, just uninstalled and restarted.

This a great find, I to am a heavy poweramp user and am currently on virtuous ics Rom. Again same problem happened and I do remember a recent poweramp update recently and the incall Mic problem happened, same crazy radio hissing sound on the receiver end.
Never thought it would be my favorite music app causing this.
Thanks guys.

Hey guys!
It's been a while since i visited these boards. Sadly I'm faced with a problem that may make me go back to some stock 2.3.3 ROM.
I've got the CM10 on my P500, used it for months, was quite happy with it (tho didn't really play around much with it).
Well, untill around 2 weeks ago when my phone stopped playing ringtones, making me miss calls when i was sitting right next to it. Quite annoying, tried changing all known setting that could cause this. It did vibrate on vibrate-only mode, except for that no results.
Finally today I got fed up with things, restored default settings and behold, now the phone doesn't even display incoming calls. Though they do show up later in missed calls. All of this is crazy :silly:
So, my questions are. Did anybody else get this problem? Any new version of the ROM or patch to fix this? Should I just find myself some old sure-proof ROM, cause I don't even play around with all the new 4.1.2 toys?
Anyways, I'm awaiting your replies. Thanks a bunch in advance.
Cheers fellas!
Hi! Until yesterday i was using Bytecode's ParanoidDroid 3.15 (nice JB 4.2 rom, thanks Bytecode!!!). Couple of days ago i had a ringtone problem also: the phone begin to ring, but only for a second, and then stopped (i keep my ringtones on my sdcard). I don't know the solution because i switched roms - for that bug and speaker bug - searching for a stable one. Now i'm testing 4.0.4 ICSPlus, and hope to be the "right" one.
Same prob.

Hi there. Actually i have this problem too. I flashed Rashed's cm10 about two days ago and when somebody calls me it doesn't ring. I thought that the problem was my phone, but now if there are more people with that problem I don't know what to think anymore..
