OK, I'm pretty sure BT worked on the phone. Now, any time I answer from a BT device, the incoming caller is muted. He can hear me, I can't hear him.
If I transfer the caller to the phone (which btw I can hear him) and back again to the BT device, I can then hear him. If I answer the incoming call from the phone buttons, I can hear the caller on my BT device.
I must've spent like 30 calls to my phone (I'm ticked as I'm sure each one counted on my minutes) thinking of different ways to fix this.
I thought it was my BT headset, but it works on my Tilt. So I tried it in my car BT. It can't hear the caller either. So something is wrong.
If I turn off MS Voice Command (which by the way, I reg restored to before I modded it to work) my phone will make the sounds, I hear a beep in my ear. If I answer it form my headset, it works!
I could've sworn I had MSVC turned on ever since I got the unit. And I know I talked to people on my BT headset. Only thing is I don't know if I talked to someone after I did the non-att bloat hardreset.
Anybody have any ideas before I reset my phone?
had similar issue
i had the same problem and tried everything possible till i hard reset.....That fixed the problem initially.....but after i setup MSVC after a few calls it again started doing the same thing. I will be calling HTC tomorrow......will keep you posted unless someone else has an actual solution.
Update
After a couple of hours on the phone with HTC and ATT tech support....it all comes down to it being a hardware error. I went into a ATT store swapped my phone out and came back only to find the touch wheel does not work....went back got another one and finally one that works...bluetooth works fine and so does eveything else.....at least for now

I don't think its hardware that is broken in some units. At least I hope not. Someone else here said they got it to work after resetting the device only to have it break again later. For now, I have my fingers crossed that someone can fix this. Sounds like a BT stack or something that is bad.

Judging by the fact that you mention MSVC I am betting this is part of it. I have seen a ton of people complaining about it not working correctly. I think we need to start with that in the hunt.
True. Its either MSVC or BT stack. or both.
HTC Confirmation
I got a confirmation from that it is a software related issue with MSVC but they cannot release a fix until ATT approves it. The only way to speed this up is to have as many fuze users call either ATT or HTC and complain about this.
Try turning off Announce Incoming Caller. Supposedly this is the problem.
Agreed though, we MUST complain to AT&T and HTC on all issues - otherwise we all just sit here and ***** to each other and nothing happens cause they don't know how irked we are...

the caller on the other end said that it is clear on their side however on my side (tilt) i hear my own voice echo on every call. its not very bad, but not acceptable either
has anyone else had this problem and a fix?
I have the same problem. Sounds perfect with a bluetooth headset,,, but horrible with just the handset. Hopefully it can be fixed with software, because as it is now my 8125 had much better call quality.
i am having the same problem, i am on the tilt rom. what rom are you using? is it just tilts or all kaiser?
if kaiser is fine i will just put a the kaiser rom on it.
It seems as if the phone was doing that the first 3 days, and now its completely stopped doing it. It is the tilt rom, with a lot of add on programs. Im not sure if it worked it out itself, or if it is because of the programs on it though.
This used to happen quite often on my 8125 and was so loud I could not hear the other person. It now happens very rarely on my 8525 and not nearly as pronounced. My mom has also experienced it on her flip phone.
I always thought it was a network problem with AT&T.
I also get this on the handset.
Tilt, no EXT ROM cabs installed, just a few apps.
its happening on my tilt tom
I have this on my Dutch Tytn II but only when i call one particular number. Figured it was my friend's phone, but you guys make me wonder ...
Ditto. I am hearing alot of feedback. What makes it worse is that my wife also has the Kaiser, and has the same echo problems.
I just returned my original Tilt to the store.
New model has the exact same issue.
I do hear my own sound, sometimes not all the time. Is it the AT&T service or the phone
I had this when I first got my Tilt. After flashing the Kaiser ROM, it was gone.
Have a tilt, and also have this problem....
i have a tiny echo. annoying all the same.

Usually it's a network problem. I had it on and off with a variety of Verizon phones, usually when signal strength was weak.
Haven't had it yet with AT&T, but I'm sure it's a matter of time.
I just had a thought. This may be the side effect of a "feature".
On the Hermes you could not record both sides of a conversation when using the recorder in notes. If I recall (correct me if I am wrong) you could only hear your side.
However, on the Kaiser (I am rocking a Tilt) I just tested it and the recorder, sure enough, picks up both sides.
Just a thought.
Later, Lew
solutions?
I have the same issue. I just got my tilt 3 days ago, heard the echo of my own voice on calls so I took the phone back for another and the echo is still there. Has anyone found a fix/reason for this yet? This thread died down about 2 months ago... are people still having this problem?
My guess is the network problem, I have the TytnII on T-Mobile network USA. And I have the same problem once a while.... but usually is at a weak signal place.....
I have the same problem with my razr phone. Wonder if we all have AT&T for service?
Hi
Had the kaiser 3 months now..had the initial prob with the speaker phone...where people just couldnt hear me..now this..
I know its the phone has tried my chip in my old phone and no problems.
everytime I make a call the other people say that my voice is cutting out and coming back in..sometimes the phone call just cuts off and i have to call back..
anybody here having the same probs with Kaiser/wario III etc.??????
Rish
This could be a hardware, software issue. Without checking we cannot tell. Hopefully it's either software or the "banswitching" issue. If it is a new thing that has just started then a hard reset may solve the problem.
Many folks with newer phones in areas where different available phone bands are present, report dropped calls as the phone seeks to change to the strongest signal.
See this thread (one of many) that mentions the problem) also note the Bandswitch application that lets you fix the phone to one band to avoid the problem:

I presume you've tried turning off Microphone AGC (Automatic Gain Control) if it was enabled and you're using the speakerphone?
My kaiser sometimes places calls when my device is off and put into my pocket, even when i manually locked it. The device always calls the last people i called, I discovered. It occurs when i listen to songs with Coreplayer. I sometimes hear other sounds like, the bleep when recording a message in the voice recorder.
So most likely some button combination sets off the device and let it place a call or somethings else.
As said my device is a kaiser with custom firmware (NoThrills dutch firmware WM 6.1). I also had this problem with Q-mobile 1.2 wich is WM 6.0, so it most likely ain't a firmware problem.
Anyone discovered this bug(?) or do you have any tips to get rid of it, it obviously is very annoying? Thanks in advance.
I had the same issue and the only solution that I found was to not only lock the screen but also to have a pass code so when the screen turned back on, I had to enter that. It avoided my phone from calling the 911 dispatch cetner again.
Hmm, it's not the best solution, but i'll try it, i'll report back when it solves the problem.
Anyone got more tips?
I have the same problem with my T-Mobile Wing. Irritating as hell. I can't figure out why it happens. It doesn't happen all the time.
I listen to streaming internet radio at work. It will dial the last number I called. When it does it, it does it over and over. It does it with Core Player, WMP, and TCPMP player. Even does it with Resco Radio.
I suspect the dialer or the skin but really have no clue. I wish someone knew what causes this.
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
Dave
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.
Mark
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
I am having a problem that others also seem to have on this phone, where people on the other end say it sounds like I am in a wind tunnel or several feet from the phone. My fiance has the same phone and I swapped phones with her and spoke over it and sure enough that's what it sounds like. There's a thread about it over on the sprint forums http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2262648
I am on sprint but decided to take this over here because I believe there are more users on the international side of things. Basically what I would like to know is, is anyone here having this problem. On the sprint forum about this issue they said it is a software problem, however I don't believe a software problem would be consistent through rom and kernel flashes including wipes. I rather not change out my phone even tho it has a few dings and scratches because of the risk of getting one with the updated hboot and not being able to downgrade and s-off again. However I also seem to be having an issue with bluetooth, where I have to carry the phone in my hand in order to have reception, even if I so much as tuck the phone under my arm I loose all bluetooth reception to the point the headset disconnects, so I think I have a problem with the bluetooth antennae.
Does anyone else have any of these problems?
Hi, I have exactly the same problem. I have bought an HTC One without operator in France.
Sometimes, the person I'm talking with thinks I'm in a cave or tunnel, and after 30 sec (approx.), he can hear me properly. Or sometimes, he cannot hear me at all or very very low and jerky sound. This disappears if I shout few seconds over the mic, then communication is good...
I was waiting the 4.2.2 update with impatience, hoping this will solve my problem (if there was a bug correction for that), but still have the problem after updating (jerky sound which disappears if I shout, for the moment I don't have the tunnel sound problem).
Now I suppose there is a problem with the mic (which is a twin-membrane microphone to deliver distortion free), and I think I will send it back to maintenance to fix it, unless someone knows how to solve it...
Thanks for other feedback.
I am running 4.2.2 and other people have told me the same thing about me sounding muffled.
