Is it just my pro? or are most like that? I just got my pro yesterday, and they ear piece sounds too distort. It sounds like a crappy earpiece, it vibrates and sounds way too fuzzy and buzzy and distorted. Is there any way to fix that? or should I take it back for another pro?
same problem here
My ear piece sounds distorted (muffled), no matter who i call, when i switch to the speaker or put on the headsets that came with the phone it sounds awesome.
i purchased mine through bestbuy and sprint.
i went to bestbuy today to try and exchange it because this is the only problem i have with this phone and the new phone that the CSR took out of a new box had the same problem.
I think this is with all of the sprint htc touch pros, i guess more people should reply to this thread and let us know if they have the same problem of not.
i emailed htc about this and they said to hard reset the phone......why would that fix the problem since i just bought it saturday and i havent put much of anything on it.
ANYONE THAT CAN POST THEIR EXPERIENCE, IT WOULD BE APPRECIATED.
I went to sprint and I tried out the Diamond, the speaker on it, sounded a bit better than mine. And yes its just the ear piece on the phone, on speaker it sounds normal, and as well with the headset. Unfortunately all best buys around my area are sold out...
Take the plastic cover off the front plate. It is covering the ear piece causing the sound to be muffled.
I purchased two Touch Pro's from best buy...two different stores, and can confirm that the audio is completely different between the two. One is perfect...audio is wayyy better than my previous mogul. My wife's touch pro however sounds aweful, totally distored at every volume level.
Called sprint last night, they said the phone was too new for them to comment and that they haven't recieved any complaints about the issue.
Unfortunately, there are no more touch pro's in denver to exchange with so...I'll have to hold on till the next batch arrives at best buy.
Mine sounds OK at medium volume, but with the volume up all of the way, it sounds terrible! I bought mine at Best Buy (St. Louis) on 10/27
same problem.. have not talked enough yet to really care. just got last night, so i will know in a day or two if i can stand it.
definitley the same experience here, muffled sound from the ear piece and, yes, I did remove the plastic. Almost sounds like a busted speaker sounds. It has been this way from straight out the box (Sunday monring at best buy in IL)
I did apply the audio patch to increase the volume... but it didn't help. It's really tinny at higher volumes. It is actually painful to listen to!
has anyone tried doing a hard reset after encountering this problem?
and if so, did it work or is it the same?
Hard reset has been performed twice, and I still have the problem. I don't think its software related, rather than the speaker itself. It sounds like a very crappy speaker, like a toy. At high pitch noises, it crackles and its horrible. it sounds tinny, like a tin can. Imagine 99 cent ear buds bought at a 99 cent store, and playing something like metallica on them. It sounds horrible.
Unfortunately, I am having the same problem. I removed the plastic cover and it helped a bit, but there is obviously still a problem.
On my old Samsung, I always had the volume level to the earpiece turned all the way down and I could hear all calls perfectly. On the Touch Pro, I have to crank the earpiece as loud as it will go and the voices are still very muffled and sound distant. I do not know if perhaps I got a bad unit, but if I was in a crowded room or driving with the windows down, I would not be able to have a conversation even with the volume at maximum.
This may be a deal breaker.
Can someone please post the info for the registry hack and how it has worked for others?
just went to bestbuy, exchanged my phone, and haleluya, it now sounds like my olg htc mogul and like every phone is suppose to sounds, CRYSTAL CLEAR....
thanks to everyone for the postings....if you have this problem, exchange, do not wait for a firmware upgrade, because this might be the hardware which a FW upgrade cannot fix.
After a week with my phone, they finally got more in stock, went to best buy and exchanged it, now it sounds crystal clear. Exchange it! Problem solved.
But what about the volume, has that been heightened on the two new phones purchased from bestbuy

the volume has not been heightened, now it just sounds clear.
to me the phones earpiece never needed to be louder.
but thats just me
It's definately a hardware issue, I had this issue, exchanged it at BB, and now it's gone. I went from abuild date of 10/14 to 10/15
ruined,
how do you determine the build date? I have the same issue, so guess I will be exchanging mine too, but if there is a way to determine if the new one I get is from a bad batch before I activate it, that would be good.

My earpiece was great till last week!! Now it sounds like it was busted. Vibrates a lot. As HTC doesn't support my country, does anyone knows how to remove the earpiece?

I had the same problem: till last week my earpiece was working but last week was dead, I can not hear anything. If you find how to remove and exchange the earpiece please send also to me on a PM.
Thanks a lot!
Anyone else notice distorted audio? It only seems to be on certain lower tones but at any volume. Not a volume is too loud issue just seems the speakers don't like a certain tone. This is my second tf300t, on the first audio was always crisp and clear but it was always freezing so i exchanged it. This one hardly freezes but i notice a crackly hum almost like a vibration of sorts while playing some tones in either music games or movies. Sometimes audio is perfect and sometimes it does that distortion. Almost like a blown speaker. Its weird though because it sounds clear and perfect on some media its only certain tones that obviously not all songs, games, or videos will use. I'm running fully stock no root or unlock .30 firmware updated immediately after unboxing which could be the firmware i guess since the one i returned was .29 firmware and didn't have the issue. I'd appreciate it if someone on .30 would be willing to test and see if you hear it also. A game that does it is Hardwood Spades its free in play store but the music/sound in that game is a good one to test because it seems to use the tone that causes it all the time.
Thank you very much in advance for any help you can provide.
Edit: So no one would offer any help with this however I took it upon myself to figure this out. YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT IT WAS!
OK so I got fed up with lousy sound quality and didn't want to send this out and wait 3 weeks to get it back so I decided to take the back cover off (very easy with plastic spudger) I found that the speaker housing is made up of two pieces of plastic sandwiched together with the speakers mounted in the middle. The weird noise was coming from those pieces of plastic rattling together with lower tones being played. Why you ask? Well it was rattling because, ASUS MISSED A SCREW that holds the housing in place in the tablet. Yeah a screw was missing on one side. So I removed the whole speaker housing and looked underneath then put it back in and took a screw from a non vital area in the tablet and screwed the speakers in all the way and played some different things and guess what no distortion. WTF IS UP WITH QC AT ASUS LATELY!
Anyway thanks for reading :-D
If this post is helpful to you please hit the thanks button. I'd appreciate it.
Wow. That's resourceful. Good to hear that you fixed it.
That screw was intentionally left out to help with the light bleed in that corner. They are all like that.
Anywhere to purchase internal parts for the SGH-T769 (tmobile samsung blaze)? Phone went thru a wash-cycle, dried out for a few days and it powered up. Seems like the loud-speaker (no ringer or music) does not work and the microphone does not work (I can hear people but they can't hear me). I have looked for days for parts and cannot locate. Any recommendations?

Google is marvelous and I use it all the time. The parts showing up from the (those) links are not showing a speaker assembly (it shows a plastic housing for speaker, but not the actual loudspeaker) and does not show a microphone. I've left emails for those same distributors without any replies. Thus the reason for asking on here.

The loud speaker module has the speaker built into it I believe...
An FYI for anyone looking for parts for this phone. This address: http://www.cellphonerepairshop.com/ (cellphone repair shop) has many parts available.
Hi Guys,
I am lucky owner my new Xperia Z3 :good: , but I am not sure if my speakers work correctly. If I take my mobile to hand in landscape, play music and cover right speaker I can hear that left speaker play much deeper. The right speaker has little flat sound. I am not sure but i think that right speaker is primary on speech such as in movie and left speaker is primary bass and deep. Can someone confirm me that has different sound from left and right speaker ?
Thanks
I don't know exactly on Z3 but for stereo system, sound from right noticable difference to left.
Yes, this is normal. It is also affected by the music/video you are playing. If it is recorded in stereo, there will obviously be differences in the left and right channels. If it is mono, the differences will be much less (if any at all).
Sorry for bumping this thread, but yeah, I have the same issue (if it is an issue) and I've tried playing mono file on it and there's still huge difference between left and right speakers - the right/bottom one sounds like a cheap phone's speaker while the top/left one sounds like an M8 speaker. I'd love to know what more owners have to say about this, if it's not the same on everyone's phone then I might try to change it.

Speakers are a mixed bag for me. No where near the quality of the M8. Top speaker is much bassier. Some video's like trailers sound absolutely fantastic with lots of bass and clear big sound, but video's with talking seem to make them buzz and crackle.
Also, the speaker volume settings are very inconsistent. Have to push volume up to 7/10 to really hear a lot of video's.
Hi all, long time listener first time caller.
So it's been bugging me for a while that my top and bottom speakers don't seem to be uniform.
If I play the same sound out of each speaker separately it sounds different.
My bottom speaker sounds a bit more base heavy and flatter. My top speaker is higher/sharper.
I've been in touch with Google support to see if that is how the phone is supposed to be, or just a defect with my device.
Currently I'm waiting for someone higher up to respond to my query as they don't seem to know how the speakers are supposed to work.
Please can you test your device and see what you think?
Thanks for taking the time to read this far.
Bloomy.
This has been confirmed a few times already - the top speaker is physically different than the bottom speaker and so it is basically tuned to play the higher frequencies than the bottom speaker. They are not identical and will not sound identical.
Thanks for this.
Edit - just found the call quality real life review thread and the link to 9-5 Google confirming this.
Annoying that they can confirm it to them but are still unsure after around 10 days with support about how their own speakers work!
