Hi,
I have a very weird problem with my Tytn II, which I bought little over a week now.
People I was talking to complained they didn't hear me very good, the sound appeared to drop. It occured to me that it was happening when I used the speaker (handsfree) of the phone.
I did some testing, and this is what happens:
I (with the Tytn II) call person X, and when I and person X are talking together, person X cannot hear me, the sound on his side simply fades to nothing, until 1 of us keeps quiet. The same happens when for example sound from my car is picked up by the phone, thus resulting in the device not being usable in the car, since there's always some noise. I however on my side keep hearing person X, it's person X that doesn't hear me.
It happens with 2 sim cards, everyone I call, did a hard reset, HTC support doesn't know the problem...
I'm puzzled. Can anyone suggest anything? Or is it faulty?
Thanks
no, mine does the same thing. I got it a few days ago and when i used speaker while driving, i could hear the other person perfect, but they cant seem to hear me. It feels like half duplex. i hope this is fixable
Damn, it seems widespread then...?
Anyone who can test it?
maybe it has to do with whatever noise cancelling algorithm is in effect is mucking everything up

Meaning that every single device would have this, and thus mine not being faulty?
I had the same problem but remembered that there was an automatic sound function which turns down the volume when talking is too hard and turns it up when to soft. Its called microphone agc and you can find it under system configuration. Now that it's turned off my dutch htc tytn II works fine in handsfree mode. Hoop this helps you also

It's already turned off :-( .
However, I just called with HTC, and they said it's because of the mic and the speaker being too close to each other, and thus it compensates.
They say every model has it however, they did a test today and the result was that it was a feature, not a bug...
Anyone here who does not have it on his device?
I have this problem all the time, both on speaker and just using the phone to my ear as normal.
People complain I am very quiet or that the sound is choppy and I sound like a robot
I used to have this problem on the O2 XDA IIs a few years ago.
Anyone else have it too? I'd like to know asap if this device is faulty, or if it's normal?
Sometimes, it seems that when I'm holding it to my ear, the sound seem to drop on the other side too...
I have exactly the same problem. People have trouble hearing me with loudspeaker switched on. Without speaker they can hear me perfectly.
I have the same problem too. Just try to disable the Microphone AGC thing and it fixes the problem. Thanks downnootje.
I have teh same problem , but I tried something and it is improved the Operation , try to minimize the Speaker volume to the minimum level and then it improes a little and it works for me ; not all the time but that is what we can do at the moment
I'm convinced now that it's a mojor problem.
Mine even got worse: since yesterday, it's happening without handsfree too, people can't almost hear me when I just hold it to my ear...
Is this a phone still, or can't it be used as such?
try enableing Microphone AGC thing, restart phone, and disable it
Me too. Juz got my set 2 days back. The other party hears my voice intermittently chop-off...
I have faced the similar problem on a particular China-made TV phone too. Tested two other units of the same model still the same. It seems to me the phone design issue, as after I changed to another model of China-made TV phone, the problem solved.
Sigh! Already got this expensive phone, think have to bear with this feature then if it is really cannot be resolved by new ROM.
same problem
i have the same problem...with my 8525 when I was on the train or in a similar noisy situation i never had any trouble with people hearing me on the other end...with the tilt i can't even carry on a conversation on the train...i called tech support and they told me to swap it out for a new one.

I've tried that and it doesn't help! Quite sad about it. I need to use speaker handsfree especially during driving.... Don't really like to hook-up the headset or BT headset... too messy for wired headset and too tedius (charging) for BT headset...
Now that I know its half duplex it works pretty well in the car - I just wait for the other person to stop talking
Surur
I will be sending mine to HTC for a planned hardware fix as they agreed there is a defect that affects all kaiser and tilts, but NOT the MDA VARIO III. this is a known issue and is hardware related. Good news for those who havent purchased one yet. I will sell mine on ebay if they dont asign me a RA soon. I rather have the MDA VARIO III as it has 2 cams.
(doesnt your HTC TYTN2 has 2 camera's?)
Same problem here. Hope for a sollution soon!
Will call HTC too soon, so theyll have more complaints about this defect.
Hi!
I have a very strange problem... after a while I have no ringtone (sound) any more.... I select a tune, it works ... but after a while there is no sound when a I receive a incoming call..
Sms, email sound etc are ok, but no ringtone with a incoming call....
When I do a hard reset, everything is ok for a while .... but after a xx period
its gone again ...
Suggestions ? I've done no reg tweaks etc..
Suggetions ?
I experience the same problem after disconnecting my bluetooth earphone.
Same here, "sometime" after disconnect BT stereo headset, my phone go muted. even adjust volume doesn't screen doesn't hv sound. Problem occur randomly. hard reset didn't help. I get around 10% chance to hit the problem after using my BT.
Please see my thread they are related!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=399430
so it might be a BT problem .... any solutions found ?
My phone just loses audio altogether after a period of time. I am not using BT, havent even setup a headset for use yet. MP3 plays but no sound. SMS no sound. System Event no sounds. Incoming call ringtone doesnt play. Call conversation i get no sound. I can't figure what triggers it. Phone can just be in sleep mode, i receive a phone call and no ring. Even adjust the volume sliders and then it will lose audio straight away.
Another strange audio issue i have is the Alarm doesnt work. Alarm will start to play but then device will freeze after 1 second of trying to play the alarm tone. Soft reset is the only way to fix it, after which it will lose audio again after a while. Have already done numerous hard resets and run a clean device with no programs or tweaks applied. SAME ISSUE!!!! I can put up with a laggy interface but no audio renders the phone a brick! Please help!
Someone a suggestion for the problem?
Xivius is ur problem similar to mine? Or is urs the Bluetooth issue mentioned by the others? i been running round in circles. HTC Aust told me to go back to TW. Taiwan told me call Singapore. Singapore told me to call Vietnam HTC Support cos apparently thats where my unit originates from. bought it off ebay so wouldnt know
Xivius, did you got that problem fixed?

I'm now using wired handsfree, same problem happen! seems not BT, it's more related to the HTC music player?
My story is exactly the same as bds008. I have disabled the vibration as much as I know and it seems to help a little but not all together. My phone mutes mostly when I am answering a call, but also on more occasions. It seems quite randomly.
I don't use BT at all and I haven't installed anything 3th-party wise.
I want to contact HTC Netherlands about this, but as I am in the middle of moving to a new home, I haven't found the time yet. I don't want to try 1.37 because of the warranty. (And I would like to keep it Dutch....)
Any updates on this problem ? Solutions ?
xivius, i had to send my unit back, they reckon its gonna take 10 business days to test and repair, if its a confirmed hardware fault unit they will give me a replacement unit. Kinda dissapointing considering the phone can be considered Dead on Arrival. Looks like i wont see my phone for at least another 2 weeks, and i only had it three days.

If your running an older rom then perhaps you should look into flashing the Diamond with a newer rom and see if that fixes the problem. But if you want to keep your warranty then why dont you send it back??. Get HTC to fix it or send it back to where you got it from and demand a new replacement.
REason i say this is because you posted this thread nearly a week ago and as of today...no one has a solution but yet you still have the phone??. Seriously if it was me, the phone would have gone back straight away for a replacement or refund.
Seems like it's getting more people into this problem. 1st i thought im the only one who caught in this unlucky unit. I explained in numerous forum no one seems to know the causes or what da fark im talking about. I did an update to 1.37 too and it's doesn't work either.
Yes the phone "TOTAL MUTED" randomly, particularly after conversation. Only soft reset can restore the sound. Did a few times hard reset too, won't work. Sent back to HTC last week, don't know how long it will take.
Btw i'm glad to know someone actually had this problem, too
p/s: Since i thought im the only one got such bizzare defect unit. So.....
Good to read that 1.37 doesn't bring any solution. I was hesitating to try.
Funny thing is that since I contacted HTC about the exchange procedure, my Diamond hasn't muted spontaniously anymore! it seems that it has become attached to me...
Today I've sent my Diamond to HTC (via 2call.nl) for repair ... lets hope they will give me a new one fast ...

I've had my device for 2 days and have upgraded to 1.37. I confirm I have the same problem where the phone doesn't ring at all no matter what the settings. I haven't even switched on bluetooth yet so it can't be that in my case.
If I have "ring", no sound, the unit just flashes. If I have "ring and vibrate", the unit vibrates perfectly; again, no sound. In other words, no combination of events brings up the sound. The sound is perfect when in the ringtone selection screen though.
Since there are a few people with this problem, it may be that it's a ROM issue. Since we all got our phones from different places at different times, it's unlikely to be a manufacturing fault...
Here's hoping for a solution from someone ....

Gary.
Folks,
I've just discovered the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=399430&highlight=Ringtone
In post #30, I found the answer to my problem
Basically, I didn't realise that the HTC volume control manages Windows and PHONE volume seperately (why the heck can't they put both on the same screen like with the WM volume control )
I really hope that others with the same problem in the thread can fix their problems with this!
Regards,
Gary.
Gary, glad to hear ur problems been fixed. I had my phone 3 days and its been sent back to HTC taiwan, they gonna take 2-3 weeks to get it back to me apparently. I checked out the thread you are talking about, obviously i can't test it now, but im sure it shouldnt make a difference if you use HTC volume control or the windows volume control. And yes i did know thw HTC one can control either phone or system separately. Basically i could get the phone to fault and lose sound just by sliding the HTC volume slider up and down, or when it did fault, sliding the HTC volume slider and setting it to vibrate and back up again made no diff, so i dont think it has to do with this? Hopefully my replacement or maybe even repaired unit dont have the same prob. Maybe those that have the prob and still have the phone can test out the suggested fix and report.
Just found this trick the other day when I was looking for something to do voip with video. I ran into a program called tivi phone. I tried to make a video call. It crashed. No big deal, I wasn't expecting too much. I found, though, that tivi phone had re-routed all of my audio to the earpiece. When it crashed, it never got sent back to the rear speaker. I started skype, had a conversation with the phone the right way around for once, then restarted tivi phone and exited normally. Audio all back to normal now. Seems like if tivi phone can re-route the audio then skype should be able to do the same, but whatevs. now, whenever I want to skype without a headset, I start up tivi phone first, and the audio is in my ear, where it should be.
Hope this helps someone, it's definitely made my life a bit easier.
yep you're 100% right, great find.
Run tivi in background and then skype works as it should.
and coders from Skype watching? we need another app to make yours work as it should.
Thanks for this easy workaround
nice. gonna check it out. thanks
bro
Wow, this has been a dream for long time...
The only problem is that the sound continue to work to the ear speaker even if you close the Tivi Phone application...even ringtones
Nice find. It's working for me as well. I have never been a big fan of wearing a bluetooth headset. For this reason i never used skype mobile. Now i think i will use skype alot more.
Thanks for the tip!
Hi guys!
So, as most of you probably know, Sony BTN-200 became available several weeks ago. This headset features support of latest Bluetooth profiles and NFC Easy Connect.
Yesterday, I received it from Amazon. So far, so good. Although I have found couple minuses:
1. It only pairs with one device (in difference from MW600, which was able to pair with 2 mobiles and computer)
2. While connected to my XPERIA T the volume is very low even on maximum level.
So, with first I can deal, no problem. But the second problem is quite dissatisfying, I've tried several sound enhancements, nothing.
Any ideas?
And if any of you also have bought it, please share your experience.
Hi,
I have read in a different post,
That after trying to make a screenshot the volume suddenly became louder!
I still have to try this my self as I have the same problem with my bluetooth headset.
It is just not loud enough to be listening in the subway...
Never had the problem using same headset and HTC desire Z
I ll try it tonight
Cheers
Tony
I have to bump this thread up.
I've recently bought this headset and I have exactly the same problem as described in the first post. The volume is way too quiet but after making a screenshot it becomes much louder... this is really strange as the headset itself works perfectly with calls etc. I'm a little bit unsatisfied with the audio quality but still the volume problem is the biggest one as I don't want to make a screenshot every time it's too low...
Dear friends,
First of all sorry for my bad english- I didn't have a practic for a long time.
Probably you can help me in my trouble with N1. I got a next problem:
Some time ago the microphone and speaker phone of my N1 became disconnected unexpectedly. After
disconnecting they not working constantly in the phone mode and in other applications both. The
headphones also not working. But! If then I'm push the "speakerphone" button during the call - I get
the possibility of talking (but only in speakerphone mode). If I want to call not only in speakerphone
mode- I must to switch off the phone at least for 10 minutes. After 10 min I can switch on the phone
and then it working perfectly till the next trouble.
I found the reason- it always happens after the bottom of my N1 is hot (battery sensor show me in this
moment 34 degrees or more. And this never happened when the temperature less than 34 degrees).
Our phones repairing workshops can't localize the problem, so i want to find the problem by myself and
request the specific kind of repair like "make solder legs of audio controller, etc". I don't see any
way.
The questions:
1. Can anybody share with me schematic diagram of N1?
2. How to check the log of N1 errors (is it radio unit or no?) via the ADB (already installed); I need a step-by-step instruction.
3. Any other ideas
Thanks in advance!
Hi DPH159,
at 1st i`m sorry for your probs...hope we`ll find anybody for this solution.
i`ve had quiet near the same probs with my N1
my probs are on calling someone or picking up the phone after incoming phone calls.
outgoing calls:
theres nothing...no beep no answer...no noise on the normal way when i call someone
as far as i`ve test it...the dial-up is running well
but when i put somebody on speakerphone...i can talk pretty good but only on speakerphone-mode...but thats not the perfect solution
i can`t talk everytime via speakerphone ;(
is there anybody who can help?
many thanks!
