i find that the person on the other line can not hear me as loud as other phone, when using video call in skype or yahoo messenger.
is there a know issue on HOXL mic?
is there any fix?
anyone experience this also?
I use yahoo messenger and I experienced the same problem on hoc and htc vivid. It's software related and for a long time seems that yahoo doesn't care much. In Skype I have no hope nomore since M$ bought it.

Slingsling mentioned that this could be a software issue, this may be true but if it is not, it could be your ROM. Are you currently on the stock ROM, or a custom ROM? It is possible that this could be because of the ROM, and a custom one could fix it but I do not suggest that you root just yet if you have not. If this happens to be a hardware issue, then rooting will void your warranty and you will not be able to return the phone if this is a factory damaged unit. I'm currently running Clean Rom, and have not had any mic issues, although i have not used skype.
If you ever decide to use a custom ROM, I do suggest that you try the CM10 port. The link is below. It is one of the fastest and smoothest ROMs I have ever used. The only reason I switched to Clean ROM, was because i missed Sense too much.

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.
Is it ok on stock / another rom

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.
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, I'm experiencing this strange issue. I'm not sure if it's hardware. When somebody's calling me and I answer the call and put my phone to my ear, there's about 3 sec lag until person on the other side can hear me. This used to work fine, it first occured when I started using Sense 3 ROM (not immediatelly), so I thought I should try Saga4D, but problem still persists. I haven't really tried any "nonsense" rom since I need Usb tethering. Is there any way to check or recalibrate this sensor?
Thanks for help!
Ok, it's most likely this issue: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=16230
I think it's time to switch to Windows Phone...

What ROM are you on?
Did they fix this is 2.3.5?

Hey, thx for all answers. Fix I posted works only every few times. I use Saga4D, It's 2.3.5 Sense 3 ROM. Is there any Sense 3 ROM w/out this issue?

I don't really intend to bother anybody, but I had this problem with two Sense 3 ROMs. Is there any Sense 3 ROM you guys use without call answer delay? Besides official from HTC, I rather wouldn't S-ON my device just to check if I have update available. Thank you!
Hi,
I've got a HTC sensation, which I have rooted and is now running Bruce's CM10. The problem with my phone is that some of the time the microphone doesn't function. This was already a problem under the offical firmware and one of the reasons I switched to CM. This may be a hardware problem, but i'm not sure. The (headset)microphone works if i plug in the headset and it does work some of the time without the headset. Once I experienced a spontaneous cutoff of the microphone during a call.
What I'm looking for is the driver/apk which controls the microphone to flash it. Does anyone have this, or know where to get it?
Greetings,
Martijn

Everything you mentioned points out that your phone (mic) is broken, if you got same bug on Sense and AOSP, and if it works over Headphones mic just fine thats just another pointer..
Flash STOCK RUU and check once more if you got MIC problems and if yes send phone to HTC for repairs..

I opened the case and started to see if I could remove the mic, before ordering a new one. This was enough to make it work again (so far). Possibly some part had moved around.
Hey.
When someone calls me or I call someone, I can hear the other person but they can not hear me. It's same on Viber.
My mikrofon is working because I tried recording audio, video, etc and it all worked perfectly.
I have a HTC Desire S, Custom Rom (Android 4.2.1), CyanogenMod 10.1 Saga-04.
I don't know if I got the important specs but tell me if you need to know something more. So, does anyone know what's wrong?

Znipy

You have a really out-dated version of the ROM. Try to update it to newer versions and see if it's fixed.

Thanks for the tip but it worked a couple of days ago so I'm not sure if it's because of the ROM. Although, I'll update and see if it gets fixed.

Be sure to report here, whether it's fixed or not. If it isn't fixed even after that, then, you should flash another kernel, like AndromadusMod to see if that helps. If that doesn't help either, then, I guess it should be some kind of hardware issue.

Okey, I tried several ROM's and some (most of them) didn't even work and on one ROM I couldn't even recive calls. I got tired of that so I'll use the old ROM and stick to messaging.
Thanks for your help!

I think it is safe to eliminate hardware issue as you can record without a glitch, no?
I would suggest trying an "old" rom, say Reaper?
And if you're s-off you could try flashing a "newer" radio to see if it helps to eliminate the problem.
A few easy fix would be to try switching to either 2g only or 3g only, could be a weak signal.
Another way get a earphone with a mic.
Cheers
