Sometimes no sound when being called. Please help

Hi,
I got a strange problem here. Sometimes (not really reproducable and I recognize no scheme) when I am called and receive the call I do not hear a single thing until I press one of the volume keys at the side. But the caller understands me fine. I got an original HTC device and had this problem with 1.37 and also with 1.93 official ROM now but it seems to be less often with the new Rom.
Friend of mine who also played with the thought to get the Diamond told me he read that on various boards, but I never heard of that problem from anybody else.
Guy at service told me it could be my sim card, because its that old (i got the same sim card for about seven years now) - but he also told me you should get a new sim every six months, so... kinda sounds like crap to me.
ANYONE experiencing similar problems? THANKS

My Diamond dont ring either... so I had to use vibrate so I could atleast feel it
Havent looked much into it yet though

No i don't mean ringing. I Mean sound from the internal ear speakers.

Mine does exactly the same!
The caller can hear me fine but I cannot hear them talking to me.
The only way to hear them is to put it on external speaker.
I wonder what the problem is?

Well its not with all calls. Mostly it only happens when Mum is calling well maybe its not that bad
No, but I can hear them after I press volume keys. I am getting a new sim card from my operator these days, hope this will fix it.

If it's possible that you touch the "MUTE" on screen during the call?

hi DDBrain
if you Mute the call it should be the other way round, you can hear them, yet they cant hear you

I am definitely NOT touching anything

im getting the same problem, except mine is for outgoing calls as well. It seems to be intermittent, The only way it fixes is by waiting for about a min fiddling with mute and speaker function. I have noticed the phone audio works fine i.e. system tones and also music but its just you can hear anyone when making or receiving calls for some reason, but they can hear you?
I think its software related as I was running stock rom for about 3 weeks when I had my Diamond and nothing of this type was seen, only once i started upgrading???????/

[Q] Crackling from earpiece speaker

Hi,
Anyone has encountered crackling in the earpiece ? I am getting it everytime I place a call the moment I press the call button.
Appreciate your thoughts.
Cheers

I was going to make the same question but found your post.
I recently bought two galaxy S and one of them has a problem with the earpiece: when making a phone call there is a crakling sound (like an interference or electric spark). This does not happens all the time and it is very low but when it starts usually it continues into the conversation and sometimes can be quite anyoing.
I realized this because I have two phones at home and becasue I test every bit of hardware of them , in order to exchange the phone asap if I found a hardware problem.
Maybe this is a common fault: take you SGS, make a phone call and listen very carefully to the earpiece before the rigntones start. Do you hear anything? I can hear a soft crakcling or pure silent depending which pnone I use.
As it is now, it is not a big deal but I am worried the crakling sound would increases in the future. Do you think I should try to exchange/fix my phone now that it is on warranty and I have not root, mod, etc..?

I got mine fixed by Samsung service. Replaced motherboard.

Buzzing during a phone call (to one contact)

Hi
Sorry if this is a really dumb question.
I get a buzzing noise while on the phone to one contact.
Is this a problem on my end or theirs? I'm assuming it's theirs as I don't seem to have a problem with any other phone calls.
It's such a bad loud noise that I seriously can't hear anything the contact says but they can hear me perfectly fine.
Is there anyway of boosting phone call signals or something to try and fix this on my end?
Thanks

If its unique to one contact then I would suggest that its the other end thats duff....

[Q] Earpiece low hiss/crackle

Is anyone here hearing a low hiss/crackle type noise when on phone calls. Almost like the speaker is a little blown out?
This is not noticeable when listening to music etc; only on phone calls.
I'm not sure how common this is or if I should get it swapped out. Though swapping it probably carries the risk of acquiring the other pop/crackle speaker issue
Thanks for any input.

I heard them also.. But seems very commond and seems that 4.2.2 solve all these audio issue ( havent tried myself but read on topics)

I am also having the same issue. I am having this problem on some sim cards(2G). As one of my sim card doesn't cause this problem which is a 3G sim. Though it should not have any problem due to sim cards or network, this problem surely doesn't occur in my 3G sim. Wierd problem!

Me too

I hear a crackle type noise (occasionally) when I'm on calls. It's not continuous. Occurs randomly. It only lasts for a fraction of a second though. is this what you're talking about??

I believe there are different things experienced by different guys. I've read many topics about various sounds.
There is a sound like a speaker does when you listen to music and it stops. It happens after you listen to something (like Beat gets turned off). Like a hissing maybe? I can't descibe it better. It's like the speaker is on high volume and then stops. It lasts for a brief moment and you can hear it if you are near the phone and there is relative silence.
There are also some "pop" sounds sometimes. These sounds sometimes happen when you listen to music.
And there is something else, in my case when talking on the phone there is something like a crackle sometimes when the other person is speaking. It doesn't happen all the time. At first I thought it was because of bad signal but I don't think it's true.

Static noise during calls?

Hello there. I bought a new xz3 ds some days ago. It has a lot of static noise during calls. This happens mainly at low service signal areas. Is this "normal"?

You mean degraded voice quality if you have a weak mobile signal?

No. I mean that at times and especially with low signal, i hear a high pitched buzzing sound, like the one that you hear when you have a phone next to a pc speaker and a call comes in.

I have to add that things get a lot better when i turn off clearaudio+.

I would report that to Sony to get this software bug fixed.

Hello again. Today with clearaudio+ turned off, i had the same problem.
It is not happening at every call. Only once in a while. Tried disabling wifi and bluetooth and nothing changed. I was not close to any electronic device at the time. Also i tried without my tpu case and same thing. Tried lowering the volume during the problematic call, same thing also. Maybe i should try repairing from Sony's companion.

One more update. Tried repairing and still same thing. Sound from speakers during YouTube videos is perfect. Only problem is during calls and when I restart. When the phone is restarted and I have the procryon notification sound I hear a buzzing sound as it plays before I unlock my phone.

Did the imei change?
Usually they give you a new phone.
Or are you sure they switched hardware parts?

Hello. By repairing i meant through Xperia companion, sorry for the misunderstanding.

Oh no exchange in the warranty store which may fix your issue?
