[Q] 2.3.4 Speaker Phone Wifi Calling Issues

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.

[Q] Route Call Through Headphone Jack

I have tried searching for the solution to my problem with no luck.
I have a rooted Inspire 4G. With the stock radio and ROM, whenever I had my headphones or my 3.5mm audio cable plugged into my phone, I could use the headphones or my vehicle's speakers for phone calls (like bluetooth). I also could hear my notification sounds (text, email) through the headphones or speakers as well. Since I have rooted my phone and changed radios and ROMs, I no longer have this capability - the calls and notifications go through the crappy phone speakers. I was wondering if anyone else had this problem or noticed the difference.
FYI - I have checked the call settings (Settings->Call) and nothing helps. I have read about HAC/TTY settings from the stock ROM/radio, but these options don't show up in the Rom I am using. I was wondering if maybe those settings made the difference and if there was a ROM or a mod that can access those settings.
Any help or direction would be appreciated.

I've flashed many many roms and have never encountered that problem. By default, it should automatically switch to headphones once you plug in the jack.
I would suggest flashing a different rom ...such as the BB Mod rom or Absolution (both are aosp roms).
Or if you prefer the stock look with sense, try Cleardroid.
I believe any of these will solve your problems ...unless its maybe hardware related (bad jack) ?
If you decide to switch & try another rom...don't forget to wipe, so you can get started fresh.
Good Luck to you.

Yea I've flashed plenty as well and I've never run into this problem. Sounds are routed to whatever is plugged into 3.5 jack

Most likely is an issue with the ROMs because after I posted this, I flashed the Revolution HD 6.1.5 ROM (w/ the 12.62.60.27_26.13.04.19_M radio) and the notification/call sound is heard through the 3.5mm jack as in the stock ROM/radio. Previously I was using the CoreDroid 8.1 and GB 2.3.5 Sense 3.0 ROMs with two different radios (12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2 and 12.59.60.26P_26.11.04.21_M).
So I can't exactly pinpoint what the cause was because I (stupidly) changed two items - though I could reflash one or the other with the new radio and see if that made a difference - but I would bank on the ROMs being the problem since the both of you have not experienced this problem with the ROMs you use.
Thank you both for your input.

Radio would have no effect on this. Sometimes you just have a bad installation. This is why myself and others always make sure people know how to properly wipe their phones and then tell them to re install before validating a problem as an actual bug.

Gizmoe, I understand that there are a lot of people who don't research and don't follow directions when flashing ROMs, so I can understand the tone of your comment. I actually do a full wipe every time I flash a ROM, upgrade or not. And before I posted this, I tried reinstalling and researching the problem. I admit that I am new to all this, so it was more of a lack of knowledge about how ROMs and radios work than ignorance because I try searching out the answer before posting.
Anyhow, I did determine the cause of my problem, and it was not ROM-related. It's actually my setup in my truck. Because I don't have an aux jack, I have to use an FM transmitter. My previous transmitter died a couple of weeks back, and I got a new (presumably better) one. I can adjust it between stereo and mono, and I had it on mono because of interference/static issues.
As I found out yesterday, having it on mono plugged into my phone, it will only transmit music and navigation to my stereo. Phone calls and notification sounds don't get transmitted. However, when I switch it to stereo, all sounds get transmitted to my stereo.
So problem solved - non ROM issue. Somewhat user error issue.

I wasn't doggin on ya . Although I can see how it could be read that way. It was late and I was responding to many threads. It was just a general statement to anyone reading, cause people have been getting fussy when I ask to clarify their install process so I can get the whole picture of exactly what they are doing. People seem so sure its a bug when in fact it was something they did wrong. Though that is not the case here and I can tell you get it a lot better than most people.

Sensation XE strange microphone problem

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.

Low microphone performance

Hi,
I've already asked this question on Cyanogenmod forum but it was never answered. Here, on xda-developers I see that people encountered the same problem on HTC One Mini - low microphone performance while using Cyanogenmod (see this post for example: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc...m-cyanogenmod-12-unofficial-build-m4-t2985009 - I would like to take part in discussion but as my account has been created a minute ago I can't respond to a post in 'development' section).
Someone stated, that this is common issue of Lollipop - I'm not an expert but I wound't say so. My HTC One Mini performs really well in terms of call quality and reception. The only issue I have with it using Cyanogenmod is the microphone performance. Just after installing CM people I called complained that they don't hear me well (it didn't happen while using stock Android).
I would really like to try some of the unofficial CM12 for my One mini, but call quality (both way) is a critical thing for me. Is it possible to help fixing this issue? I would like to help. If providing any logs/statistics/other* makes sense then let me know.
Cheers,
Jakub

potential fix
http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/development/mod-camcorder-audio-quality-fix-t2837930 this may be a possible fix if it's the same problem as for the nexus 5. Somebody with android developing/porting knowledge should find if it is the problem occurring our One Mini and try to port if. And yes, I've tried to flash the zips from link with no luck

But there is no noise suppression option in HTC One Mini (both in stock ROM and CM).

Hey Jakub!
I am facing the same or a similar issue.
Microphone level seems to be quite low such that sometimes I have to speak quite loudly to be understood on the other side.
With my old SGS2 I also had audio issues but using a (wired) headset I had no problems. Unfortunately with One Mini, the headset's microphone does not seem to work
Did you try using a headset?

I remember that I've used headset with my One mini, but I don't remember if I was using CM back then. For sure I got complains only while not using headset. So probably problem is only with internal microphone. Anyway - such issues makes the Cyanogenmod not usable for me because I know how annoying it is when you don't hear the other end well.
And to make it clear once again - I've never got complains while using stock ROM and I find call quality & reception really good on HTC One mini when using stock. With CM only microphone performance seems to be worse.

I was using stock-based InsertCoin rom until I flashed CM12.1 and at least in terms of in-call audio, I also never had a problem either with the internal or headset microphone.
My guess is that the microphone sensivity simply is too low, which can also be observed in the voice recorder. When loudly talking into the microphone, either internal or headset, quality is fine.
Unfortunately, I also cannot make any comments in the main thread yet :silly:

Downgrading HTC firmware seems to work for me. I extracted the firmware.zip from the first OTA update available for the One Mini (OTA_M4_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.31.401.1 in my case in France) and flashed my device with it. I haven't tested other firmwares yet but here is a big resource available on the net with all you need for testing (firmwares, OTAs, RUUs, etc...). As I can't post URLs with my newbie status you can find it by typing "downloads for HTC One Mini by Krocko - Android File Host" in Google.

It's running CM13 CAF, and yes the mic works fine ,I tried to record it worked fine without any issue ,only the speakerphone didn't work

Try to reproduce the issue using a stock ROM. If there are no problems, at least you know it is software-related.

I've installed the stock rom ,still have the same problem. when I activate the speakerphone during call ,the people aren't able to hear me, even in whatsapp,viber...etc.
the mic works fine when I tried to record something,

Hmm, sounds like it could be a hardware issue since you have tried two different ROMs with the same result.
Was the phone ever dropped or bumped? Possible loose connection?
