Why can't.I hear people when I make phone calls on my HTC hero cdma? I can hear them when a Bluetooth is connected, speaker, and when I have head phones plugged in... has anyone had this problem before? Should I restore my phone back to stock rom and take phone to sprint?

If you can hear the other person while on a Bluetooth, using a 3.5mm corded headset or using the speakerphone on the HTC Hero, I hate to say it, but you very well may have a defective earpiece hotboyray. The reason I say this is all three methods you mention bypass the electrical circuit of the earpiece and all three work as you stated while in a call. You could always restore your HTC Hero back to OEM and see if the earpiece works. If it does, then hotboyray, some aspect of the ROM code you were using after rooting became corrupted. If not and as long as you have TEP on your account, it shouldn't cost you anything to go into the closest corporate Sprint S&R center and have a TSC either repair the earpiece or worst case scenario, have a replacement device ordered for you. I hope my bit of 411 is of assistance to you.
I had that problem about 2 weeks ago.
The ear speaker module is about a 10 minute fix.
Bring it to your local Sprint repair center for the repair
Since your rooted and I don't know your local stores policy it's probably best to unroot the phone before you bring it in
In my case my local non corporate Sprint repair center does not care if the phone is rooted. They fixed mine for free even though it's out of warranty, rooted and I have no insurance. Your mileage may vary
Thanks.. how do unroot?

:-( my sensation xl finally arrived and first thing I tried to do ended up failing!! I tried copying over my stuff from my older phone through bluetooth, but my bluetooth refuses to switch on :-(
Ive tried everything...... hard reset/ sim out/ battery out and nothing. I called Tmobile who told me to send it back and they will send another when they have enough stock. So all in all its not been a great experience so far with this expensive new phone!! I recommend everyone here try their bluetooth out to see if it turns on
Thats a shame that, luckily mine is working... do you have any details on if there has been a bad batch or anything? (from tmobile)
No Tmobile were not all that helpful on the phone, I spoke to technical support hoping they would try something out to get it to work, but they just said to send it back and they'll send a replacement when stock is available. I always seem to get bad luck with things like this lol.... oh well I hope they send out a replacement pronto
Sorry to hear that mine has everything working on it lucky me cause I bought it on Canada and they sent it all the way to south America Ecuador

Did you get your replacement buddy?

are you sure? i doubt something as small as bluetooth would be a problem. when sending stuff from the other phone did you make your sensation descoverible? was they paired correctly?
It does not surprises me. Some Hardware failure can happen even for new phones. My SXL thankfully works fine so far but Incredible S i have sent back already twice. First time USB socket stop work after 32 days (unlucky, because in 30 day period i can easy change it in store)) and second power button stop work. Guys HTC is not so bad, other manufacturers got lot off problems as well.
P.s. You should ask for change instantly or cancel contract. You must have the right to do that.
Nice!
Mine works perfect!

Yes I have , majorly sometime I have to ring the same person 3 or four times before I can actually talk to them, I am on 'three' I have complained to them they say it's not the network, and it's still currently being investigated, now before anyone goes slating three , I don't think it's a bad network Ive never had a problem until I got the HTC 1 , they always notify me if there upgrading or doing maintenance in the area and this are the only times I've had problems,
So if anyone does have an idea what could me causing it your help would be much appreciated!

No apn is access point name, which refers to the data connection, I'm thinking of factory resetting the phone because it was fine for the first few weeks,but I don't think I've changed anything that could of caused call dropping,but you never know! , three have offered to swap the phone,they offered the iPhone5 :0. I was seriously offended, I really like the HTC one if they can't sort something hopefully they replace the handset!

I'm kinda facing the same issue. i got my HTC ONE yesterday and it's been happening ever since. Although as far as I have noticed, it only happens when I'm using my BOSE earphones (MIE2i I believe-the ones which are "iphone compatible"). As soon as I dial a number it rings and then the call hangs up. Sometimes it hangs up even before the person's phone who I am daling rings...It's also happened while on a call...I've had to repeatedly redial people and it's annoying...all the while having good signal strength on LTE or 4G..I took it back to Rogers (Canada) and they just changed my SIM card..But that didn't help at all..I love the phone but I'm not sure if it's the earphone compatibity or something in the new Sense 5 or software rather that's making it do this!!
I'm hoping this problem is just one bad handset and not epidemic, but I have been hearing VERY consistently from other people that they are having trouble understanding what I'm saying. It is not location specific, I generally have full or nearly full service, and I can hear them just perfectly. But I have been hearing from many people that I talk to about this problem.
I'm going to exchange the phone and get a replacement, assuming this is just my phone and not an HTC ONE problem. Has anybody else been hearing this? If so I may regretfully end up with an S4 =\
I have been having issues as well. Just tried to exchange for an S4 at sprint store and they wanted $35 dollar re-stocking fee. Going to deal with online/phone people now. My HTC One is dropping calls, calls are not clear, and lower data connection in the same environment than my old EVO Shift. Wanted the phone to work out, just didn't.

Mine is working beautifully call quality is awesome on both ends and data conection was faster here in boston when put up against my buddy's s4 (also sprint) there were some issues with speakers and radios on some of the HTC ones... mostly the first batch that went out to people who pre-ordered, myself included, but so far i'm issue free.
be warry of that s4 you picked up by the way many people have reported display issues... don't worry though I believe they are software side... people reported black bars appearing on the screen when scrolling I'm pretty sure it's a simple software bug.

Have you got a case on? I was just looking at mine and making sure it has all the right cutouts. Maybe others do not?

Didn't have one for the first 5 days, had it the last 2.. same problems consistent throughout.
i'll confess I use a Bluetooth headset, but the very rare occasion I use the handset I've never had an issue
I was having the same problem, then I realized my pinky was always covering up the microphone. Went 2 days where people were like I can barley hear ya.

It wasn't the pinky for me. As I stated in another thread, I think it's something to do with over-aggressive or poorly handled background noise cutting, or a major problem with dynamic range control going from loud to soft etc.
started actually using the phone for phone calls this week..I'm hearing "its hard to hear you" and "you sound far away" more then I've ever heard before...
It's definitely not the point for me. It happens all the time, most of my calls are using a airave so I'm wondering if that had something to do with it.
Anyone know if this is a sprint related issue? Should I be exchanging my phone?
Hi, my Desire C is very quiet on music playback, and on ringing too. However it is set to max. With earphones it is loud enough. Is there any solution?
Nah. You just have to get used to it...

I think it shouldnt be like that. One friend has desire x, it was loud enough, but had to give to warranty due to lcd fault. When she got it back desire x was updated also, but since then it is as quiet as mine. I do not listen to music much, i dont care it is quiet on music playback, but i hate when it is quiet when someone calls me. In settings everything is set to max and quiet on pickup is unchecked.

Looks like a hardware issue.
I think its software fault, but dont know how to fix it. and else what makes me think it is software problem- it has only 3 system languages. i have never seen only 3 languages in any of android phone. and sometimes when i turn it off and then on back it cannot detect network, it detects it in very very long time or when restarting.

Network is a different issue. It might be a faulty radio or something. I am facing a similar problem. It says NO SERVICE frequently, whereas the same sim card in other phones shows full bars. I'd recommend you take your phone to the service center if under warranty, else why don't you try flashing and experimenting.

Congratulations! Let me try the stock ROM once again as well.
Are you sure network problem was solved? Even in "WCDMA / GSM auto" mode?
