In my Spanish Vodafone branded Kaiser, Mic in seems to mute when i activate loudspeaker mode, as perons at the other end report that they are unable to hear me (Although i hear them clearly enough through loudspeaker!).
After some research, there are more reports here at xda developers of the same malfunction.
Would you please check your Kaisers for that malfunction, to check how extensive is the problem?
if it doesnt work, please report ROM, or brand (if branded)
Does anyone know of a cure(reg hack...) to restore loudspeaker-mode mic?

Hi
I was wondering if anyone has encountered the following problem...
When I make a call or receive a call the person on the other end of the conversation says that I sound really quiet and that they can barely hear me. I have tested this myself and found the audibility very poor.
I've a Eurpoean model, operating on the o2 network in Ireland
Please don't flame me and tell me I should have searched as I have read the other thread on "call voice quality issues" and this is a seperate issue as in that thread they claim that they sound robotic to the other person whereas I sound fine but just barely audible
Any help would be greatly appreciated as it is a major issue with the phone.
Also please ignore my signature as I haven't had a chance to update it and I've a very poor internet connection at the moment so I can't do it right now
Thanks
Hi,
I'm also using the Diamond on O2 in Ireland and I've not experienced that issue. People seem to be able to hear me fine.
Could be a firmware issue. My stock ROM was some old ME firmware but I've since flashed to 1.93.401.2 WWE. Works very well in all respects, and you never know it could help with your volume problem.
Hi thanks very much for the reply
Hoped someone else from Ireland would see my post
What radio are you using and what SPL?
Where did you find the ROM & radio? I searched for the ROM reference you gave in your last post but it showed up nothing. I'm probably not searching correctly though. I want to make sure I flash an identical version to yourself to ensure I have a successful resolution to this problem cos its driving me mad at the moment
Thanks
Hey, sorry for taking so long to reply.
I upgraded to [ROM][WWE]HTC_Europe_1.93.401.2_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.29.2 5.12_1.00.25.05_Ship (post is here) after first flashing my Diamond with Unsigned-Hard-SPL-Diamond-OliNex from here.
Having done that, my radio is at 1.00.25.05 and the ROM version is 1.93.401.2 WWE. After putting on the HardSPL, I flashed the actual ROM but I didn't take any extra steps to upgrade the radio. Seems like it was included in the ROM update I downloaded. I see tutorials around the place for flashing a different radio, but that didn't seem necessary in my case.
I should also mention that my Diamond is DIAM100 (reset whilst holding the Volume Down key to check if yours is a DIAM100 too) as I think there are issues using certain SPLs with different DIAM versions.
Having done this upgrade, Opera is much faster and more stable, TouchFLO is very fast and smooth and everything is generally hunky dorey. The Diamond goes together pretty well with O2 Billpay and the 250mb data add on. I don't understand this iPhone hysteria where people are thrilled to have an 18 month contract for at least 45 quid a month. Go Diamond go.
thanks a million for your reply
After spending most of the day reading I managed to get the problem solved by installing hard SPL and updating the radio... I'm not sure how it fixed it but it did so I'm happy
I'm on o2 prepay... unlimited texts to any network is very appealing... would love a data package but don't want to be tied to a contract
thanks again
Good stuff.
Would still recommend upgrading the main ROM aswell though, its much more stable and smooth than the stock ROM.
Adios

I had the same complaint. Everytime I talked to someone, they complained about the quality of my phone call.
I called HTC and they said when the new ROM came out, it would help. It had something to do with the lack of 3G or another band.... I can't remember which band but the point is, for us, in the US, the choice of bands was the problem.
Now that I've updated my ROM, I've had no issues.

I have this issue. I hear the calls loud and clear but the person on the other end claims they can hardly hear me.
I'm using ROM 1.93.456.2 WWE from 7/10/08
Radio 1.00.25.05
Any recommendations on what to do?
Thanks
hi
in my case it was my microphone that was broken on the phone
i returned the phone to HTC to repair it and since I got it back its working perfectly
The way to check if the microphone is not working is to record yourself talking using the voice recorder. That will tell you if it's the microphone or not
Thanks. I checked and, although it isn't going to win any sound quality awards, I don't believe it's broken.
I'll maybe compare it to my Touch and see if there is an obvious difference before proceeding.
Hopefully it can be corrected in a software change...
I think I have the same problem. I posted it on the "Support Centre" thread.
My Diamond was working fine, I did some ROM updates with no problem. One day my wife started complaining that she could barely hear me. That was the case with everybody else. I could hear them perfectly but my voice was too low for them. Checked the volume and restared the Phone with no results. After a lot of random testing the phone came back to normal. This problem happened again a few days later and I noticed that people could her me fine when i was using the stero phones, but could barely hear me through the embedded mic on the Phone. This time only a hard reset was able to bring the phone back to normal.
Now things are worse! After a hard reset or a new ROM update the phone works fine for a few hours than the problem starts and nothing can bring it back to normal (only a hard reset).
I dont think it is a hardware problem because the phone works after the hard reset, but I tested some different ROMs an the problem persisted.
At the moment I am downloading other ROMs and RADIOs to see if it does any good. If someone has any idea I would love to hear it!
Thanks in advance.
@ Maddog
That sounds exactly the same as the way my problem progressed
I tried numerous radio's & rom's to try solve the problem and immediately after installing a new rom or radio the microphone worked (therefore i assumed it was a rom/radio issue) but like you it stopped working soon afterwards
Eventually no matter what rom I installed no one could hear me on the other end of the call and after ringing HTC they told me it must be the microphone. I sent it back and they fixed if for free. Must say I was impressed with their service
Thanks Lassykk,
Not a good news for me as my cell is from europe and I live in Brazil... well, I think I am going to buy a Jawbone2 Bluetooth headset and will try to live with the problem untill I travel back to europe on the end of the year.
Thanks.
I live in ireland and my nearest repair centre is in the UK. They were happy for me to send to the UK and they fixed it and sent it back to me with minimal fuss.
I assume you could send it to your nearest repair centre. Might be worth looking into it. You need proof of purchase though if you bought it off ebay or somewhere you didn't get a receipt
Hope this helps
A huge problem
my htc TOUCH diamond is all working ok EXCEPT IT resets itself during making and receiving calls, at least once a day
and then i have to wait for it to boot up again
it is really embarasing for me as the people who i talk to think i purpofefuly hang up on them
i dont know what is the problem, i have good reception, (t-mobile - Macedonia)
everything else with my diamond is working flawlessly
but this auto reset during calls at least once a day, and sometimes the inability to answer incoming calls no response from the touchscreen
can someone advise me if anyone of you run into this problem sometime?
i am afraid if it is hardware because theyt are not good service technicians over here, i am afraid to give it to them, cause they will return it scratched or something worse. no good experience with repair sevices here.
as for the firmware i have the standard updated firmware from the htc site of july 2008
please advise any software solution?
and help will be greatly appreciated
best regards..
Try a hard reset. That works most of the time.
huge problem
i have the same problem with my touch diamond
the problem persists even after hard resets
i have updated rom which HTC posted recently
but the problem persists
can you help me
Hi,
I installed the Voip.cab for WM6.1 to get voip funcionality.
I have the problem, that I can't hear my partner, when I'm calling via VoiP.
I can dial normally, the phone of my partner rings, but I can't hear anything. The phone recognizes, that my partner picked up the phone and starts the clock of the call duration. When I speak, my partner can hear me, but not in the other direction. I can't hear anything.
If I call my Voip-number, my diamond also doesn't ring.
Is there anything I forgot in the settings?
Thank you!!!
Please help
If anyone knows a hint or a workaround, just let me know!
I need it on christmas eve!
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!
Hennes
i think that you have to open concrete ports in fiewall to avoid this one-way audio issue. i don´t remember which ports do you have to open. check voipbuster.com forums and you´ll get it.
Hi,
thanks for your hint, but after lots of reading in voipbuster and google I have found nothing, which really works for my diamond. Many others wrote about these problems with Touch Diamond.
I only found Port 5060, which I opened. But nothing changed:
I can call anybody, anybody can call and hear me. But I hear nothing.
Can anyone give concrete hints for this problem?
Thank you very much!

Hi,
I could finally manage to solve my problem. But now I can only hear my partner thru the external speaker.
Does anyone know, how to set the output to internal speaker.
Thank you

Hi guys, thanks for having this thread, i really hope you guys can help me. I've had my diamond for 1 and a half years now and i recently activated the edge data connectiond from my service provider. Since them, almost every time i take a call or receive a text, the phone does a soft reset. I've tried everything i know and but no improvement. Some extra info: the diamond is the gsm US version, my service provider is Digicel(that's what we use here in the Caribbean) and their technicians don't know what's wrong either. Im also using a donsalari Rom with WM 6.5, TF3D 2.1. I've been using donsalari romms for a while and they work excellently and no one else on his thread reports this issue. Looking forward to your reply.
