People cannot hear me........

During calls there comes a moment that people are complaining that they cannot hear me. When i move the jog dial upwards (hence increasing volume) they say that they can hear me ok. I have not experienced this using the bluetooth headset. Maybe a hardware problem??
By the way i used 5 different radios and upgraded also to 6.1.
Anyone experiencing this?
Any solution?
Thanks
same problem and i didnt find any solution ! But my phone came back from the HTC support for another problem, I will check it...

did you send it for this reason?
well my mic was buggered
people would say one min they can here me next they cant
and it would like fade in and out
orange where usless and said they wanted to test it but in the end i went back told them i wanted a new one
and since then i have had no problems
If you can't hear me it means I'm in Parentheses. ))
i guess i have to sent it back then, s*** i have to to revert to original rom now.
anyone else with the problem?
ok you say it is a hardware problem. I did the following: i was speaking continuously for 2 minutes on the mic and i was recording it. When i tried to listen to the recording everything seemed to work excellent. So i guess is not a mic - hardware problem. S*** i am going crazy........
Did you flash with the appropriate radio?
i've had the same problem with my speaker phone; i can hear the calling party; but they cannot hear me; it does not happen all the time; but more often than not (more than 50% of the time).
A person in another forum suggested turning the volume down to half when using the speaker phone so it will work (though it is difficult to hear the calling party when volume is that low).
I know this is unrelated to blue tooth issue; but there seems to be some sort of audio glitch that is similar in both the blue tooth and speaker phone so one has to wonder if there is some type of related root cause to both problems???

when i use bt the problem disappears so i think it has to do with the functionality of the mic?
Well finally after 1.5 month i got back my phone from ACE HELLAS. The problem remains the same although i was told that the microphone and earphone were replaced by new ones. If they are telling the truth and they did change it it means that we are facing a kind of software problem.........
I had the problem, too. I tried dozends of radio roms but problems continued.
After 5 months of trying I repace my VPA Compact V (aka v1615) and now the problem has dissapeared...
So it seems to me that it is a hardware problem of one production run.

Can you specify, what exactly your problem is?
This weekend, I had a speaker problem as well - when I phoned someone, I didn't hear anything, although the connection was established - after a reboot, the problem was gone...
Kind regards,

When i recieve calls in outdoor environment, the volume is very low, its difficult to hear. the volume of the earphone speakers s very low. but when we use the headset to hear music, the volume is fine.

I am making a wild guess have you installed any call recording app which is running in background, this may be the problem.
In Call Speaker Problem
Its a New Unit have not installed any applications till now. what about you people how is the volume in outdoor.
i had the same problem a few time since js5 firmware. an interesting thing is, that im using a voodoo kernel with every firmware since js5 and perhaps this causes this problem to european devices ?!...

Xperia Z Issue - My voice Not Audible to the other party

This happened 2-3 times with me, when m making calls the other person is Not able to hear my voice, his voice is clear !!
I tested with my frnd as well, everytime after restart problem resolves, anyone else facing this issue ???
sent from Xperia Z
**** bro
First do factory reset.
After disable microphone noise suppression.
Report back
Disable live ware manager.
It happened on the Xperia s too.
Or replug the same headphones - if youve used any - then unplug it again

Issue resolved automatically - was worried !!
sent from seXperia Z - Black
Was just about to post the exact same thing!
I thought it was a problem their end the first time it hapened (which was about a week ago) yet it has just done the same thing to me just now, both calls (to separate companies) have been when going through an automated system, pressing the keypad to get through to the correct department.
When I finally get through the person on the end of the line doesn't hear me so I have to hang up! lol
I wasn't sure if it was my phone or my network (Three UK) but after seeing this it must be my phone :crying:
I will try some of the suggestions above...
Disable noise cancellation

mic stopped working

Bros, just found another bug, both mine and my wife xperia z has this problem. Out of the blue when try making phone calls, the mic muted, had to turn on the speaker , the mic works. When switched off the speaker, the mic fails. I when to the sony menu (*#*#) and tested the mic function and its working normally. Seems not a hardware problem. Had to restart the phone to solve it. Done a factory reset and even went for an exchange for a new set. Problems exists. I noticed it maybe the problem that i downloaded WECHAT. Any one came across this issue too? Is android version 4.1.2 too new and programs not competible? HELP
try to do factory reset.
I have this problème too 2 time in same day...
Anyone jave this issue too?
hi, the bug happened again, mic not responding, but working with both earphones and speaker. Please help!!
I also have this issue. It worked fine again after a restart though.
Yes, I got the mic problem a number of time. And I have factory reset the phone last night and now under monitoring.

[Q] No sound from top speaker when receiving calls

The other day i noticed really weird problem/bug when receiving incoming call.
When proximity/light/whatever sensors are covered (i.e phone sitting on desk with screen facing the desk) while receiving call, i get no ringtone sound from top speaker, bottom one is working fine.
I tried to disable beats audio, unchecking "quiet ring on pickup" and "pocket mode" in sound settings, i disabled some apps which might cause such behavior like Viber etc.
Oh, and i did factory reset few days ago, so this should not be the problem. Maybe it was present before factory reset, but i didn't really noticed because i changed my ringtone and it's really really noticeable with it.
Otherwise, i don't have any problems with speakers besides this one.. when i watch youtube, play games or listen to music everything is working as it should.
I'm 100% stock, unrooted - for now, running latest OTA (3.62.401.1).
What could be the problem? Anyone else with same issue?
Anyone?
Maybe your ringtone is mono, not stereo
Sent from HTC One 802w Dual Sim with my hand...
Nope, i tried multiple ringtones and same problem occurs.
Ok, one last bump.. this "problem" occurs even with latest OTA update (4.4.2), can anyone test it and report if it's normal or not?
I tried CM 11 and OmniRom and there was no such problem..
I confirm this issue on desire 820

I am facing the same issue on my recently purchased HTC desire 820. The only difference is that the top speaker never plays the rringtone during an incoming call. However i can get hear from both the speakers when i receive the call and start the speaker phone.
Did you find any workaround to this? I can hardly know if i am getting a call when i am outdoors because of this problem.

No, sadly i didn't solve this issue.. i have One M8 now and it also has this same problem, so i guess it's "broken" by design across all HTC phones with boomsound speakers.
Only thing that solved it for me was custom rom (AOSP based, i'm not sure about Sense based), so it's pretty clear that it's software feature, issue or whatever they call it.
i have same problem on htc desire 820
I jave same problem here on desire 820

Posting in the right forum could help
Desire 820 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/desire-820
The only suggestion I can give without knowing particularly this device is to go back to stock rom if you are using a custom one to look if its software related only. A factory reset is also something you want to try (backup your files first)
