pin in mic hole - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have the noise suppression issue that is already well known. Nothing I do will turn it off. Insertcoin Rom will not fix it. Does anyone think I could just stick a pin in the hole and break the microphone? I'm desperate

I don't know that this is something I'd recommend doing.
You may want to try this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2406524) first..
Edit: I see you posted in that thread 6 minutes before starting a new one. Nevermind

Yes, I have already....Like I said, I'm desperate

Sounds like a hardware problem. Try sending it back to HTC.
Good luck.

If it's not hardware related as nokiamodeln91 is figuring out, try a different modem:

Well I think initially choose a newer one, they've made improvements step by step, hopefully you just had a bad flash. Work it from there.

so i can choose for example XXLR1 and it makes no trouble to me?

[Q] Weird question about the phone

Hello everyone... I have a really weird question: How can I kill my phone without the chance that the company finds out?
I'm stuck with a crappy contract and they won't let me finish it with my phone working... So... What should I do? The idea is that I kill the phone but that's impossible to discover that I did it...
Any ideas?

Put it in the microwave, that will kill it

Set everything to stock via ruu, leave phone on apply hair dryer to phone until phone is off imitating over heating.

If you brick your phone they will most likely know that you messed something up. So best is to do what others suggested, hair dry or microwave

Can't you just update it, and pull the plug part way through? Maybe pull the battery during an update? I don't know if the phone would be recoverable from that.

As long as the recovery image was there and bootloader able to boot and your phone can be recovered.

Call quality

So with 4.2.2 are you guys facing a problem with call quality? I can't hear a dam thing on a phone call. The Voice is muffled and it crackles too.
What do you guys think?

Yup, ARHD 10.0. Dirty flash from 9.4. The call quality isn't great.
Is there a way to check if HD calling is actually working? It is in the build.prop!

No idea. Anyone any clue on this?
I have noticed that if you have a background breeze or it is windy the call quality drops massively. It is reproducible by blowing on the mic near the camera... Ear piece goes very odd (breaks up/drops out) after that, recovers quickly though. The same doesn't happen if you blow the bottom mike!
Okay this issue has become really annoying. I dont think its the hardware but anyone facing this issue resolved it? The callers voice keeps fluctuating and times it just goes off. Sometimes if i dont hold the phone very close to my cheek the callers cant even hear me.
Yea this is really annoying. Tried loads of different ROMs and call quality remains terrible, all muffled and unclear. Way worse than my old Desire HD.
Anyone?

Thanks for the post! I already had the same radio installed but I re-flashed it using this anyway. I tested the call quality once again, it's difficult to tell but there does seem to be some improvement, but it still doesn't sound as good as previous phones, or "crystal clear" like it should be according to many people. I will have to wait until I get a chance to properly test out a full conversation tomorrow and see if the voice is clearer.
Thanks again!
Has anyone else tried flashing this radio?

I did test the radio for like two calls. It seems like there is an improvement but I need some more time to evaluate. The microphone is the same if I don't stick the phone to my cheek people can't hear me properly. They say it feels like I'm talking from 10 feet away.

I found this YouTube review.
Sorry I can't post links, being a new user! But search "HTC One In-depth Review And User Experience" into YouTube, it's the video by Uoobe Vid, and skip to 13:06
This is how mine now sounds after the radio update. Is it not really as clear as it should be for a high-spec phone or is it just me? Calls are clearer on my friend's LG and cousins iPhone 5.
It has definately improved from before though.

Arzin, have you tried switch to speaker phone and back to handset a call? I've never had this, people have always said they can hear me fine, clear as normal. It could be the noise canceling at the back mistaking your voice for background noise when you don't hold the phone to your cheek.

Speaker replacement

Hello community iv blown the top speaker on my one and was wondering if and how easy it is to replace. I'm unlocked bootloader so can't take it back to phones 4 u.
Many thanks
Dan
Unlocked bootloader doesn't cancel your warranty.
Article explains that your warranty is still valid, even when unlocked via HTCDev
http://android-revolution-hd.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/unlocking-bootloader-or-flashing-custom.html?m=1
My advice is to take your phone back.

Hmmm, it's most likely a hardware issue. I wouldn't go through the trouble of returning it to stock, if the article mentioned above is right (which I have no doubt of).
htc one is difficult to dissasemble, youll likely crack the digitiser while doing so...
best chance is to go back to stock and relock the bootloader

Is there a for sure way to hardbrick my device?

I'm still within the 14 day purchase and want to return my note 3. The problem is I rooted and got the custom status padlock. I've tried every single way to fix it posted on this forum and google. Aside from the root problem I can not deal with the wifi issues and low earpiece during phone calls that I've been getting. Can anybody here point in the right direction. I have full root access and running MJ5.
The goal is to hardbrick and not let the custom status screen turn on.
Any help is appreciated thanks guys.

Yes sir, I rooted with Kingo. I was on MJ5, i accidently took the OTA when i connected to Wifi. This is the only method that worked for me. Like Potatoman said, complete the procedure and padlock will erase and everything will be squeaky clean like the day you opened the phone box.
