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?

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

Virtuous Sensation v.1.1.2
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.
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.
So my thunderbolt has been overall great but i have this problem where if someone calls me they cant hear me but i can hear them and i can hear myself in my own speaker. is it a setting problem? i also flashed the latest radio for GB on the Infected Synergy Rom.

I've literally had that same issue on almost every device I've used on Verizon and Alltel at some point. Some areas it's happened a lot in, other almost never. I'm hesitant to say it's the device because of my experience. I think it's something quirky with the network. For me, if I just call them back it works fine. It used to happen almost every time I called my Mom. Second call was a charm though. Then it mostly stopped... about the time she got off that damn Motorola and onto a BlackBerry... but it still happens occasionally.
yeah =[ ive never had this problem though and its constantly doing it because i was originally on cm7 but it started to i flashed another rom and it worked for a couple of calls at first but now no calls go through and im afraid to call verizon since im rooted but idk what to do =[ thanked you btw

eh.... I've called them with issues on both my rooted HTCs. It's never been a problem. I've talked to guys there about their rooted Androids. If they tell you to do this or that, either play super-stupid or BS your way through it and get them to put a work order out to check out things on their end. If that doesn't solve it, then it's time to go back to stock and exchange some hardware or something.
i was just experimenting and it turns out after like 25 secs they could hear me but im still lost on why
People can either barely hear me, or not hear me at all. Yet, when I switch to speaker phone they hear me fine. I'm currently on the latest CM10 rom, but I've had this issue ever since I've started rooting from GB, CM9 etc etc therefore I doubt it's a rom issue. Any help is appreciated
If its been present since gb its probably the bottom mic because I think the top one does speaker phone.
I would suggest a bt or wired headset. Since you're on jb wired would be the way to go.
If you bought within a year ago flash back to stock and bring 'er to you're closest att warranty center
Or if you're good with soldering and such you could find a replacement mic
Hope this helps

everybody has this issue i think. Ive heard a lot of people complaining about this particular issue. I think it's a hardware thing, because it persistent from Froyo days. I'ts just how the infuse is built i guess.
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.
