After a few issues i managed to install the latest CM11 nightly on my att htc vivid (s-off) however today i noticed that my wired mic is not working when doing a call, the person i am calling can not hear me.
I checked the CM11 thread and it seems that there is at least another memeber that is experiencing the same.
Is there anything i can do? I have tried my iphone and galaxy s4 earbuds with the same results...
Anyone?

If you read through the forum you should find a number of other people having the same problem. I have seen a couple of people claim that Skullcandy buds do work, haven't heard any others.
I dont think it is an issue of the brand of buds
I have tried several types with the same results. Whats more, everything works fine when i use Vonage or Skipe, the other person can hear me without problems.
This issue only happens when i do a regular voice call. Rather than hardware, it seems like an issue on the voice call application in the phone

So far have been very disappointed with my Incredible S. The phone is from Optus running:
Android 2.3.3
HTC sense 2.1
baseband: 20.2803.30.085AU_3805.04.03.15_M
Kernel: 2.6.35.9-g09f1d1f
Build number: 2.12.980.3 cl37872
I gave my wife my old HTC desire which is working better. Better sound, applications run better. I have had a few complaints from people who have called me that I sound like I am talking through a blanket (quiet). No issues with the Desire.
Talking Tom on the desire works great. On the Incredible S it has very bad lag and does not pick up that I am talking. Maybe once out of 10 times will it pick up that I am talking. This application is no big deal but it is an observation that for some reason my Incredible S is struggling compared to my Desire.
I have tried searching for some Gingerbread updates but have found nothing.
I bought the phone back home in Australia but am in Europe now so no way to return it. I will be back in Australia in about 7 months still within warranty so I am stuck with it for the time being.
Has anyone had similar experiences or are there any fixes out that maybe I have missed?
I have done a factory reset couple of days ago and no improvement was seen.
kind of sucks having an inferior product to my old HTC Desire which runs Froyo.
I forgot to mention that a couple of days ago I was speaking with someone and I could hear them but they could not hear me. Rang them back and same problem.
I have a feeling my microphone must be bad. I tried the voice recorder inbuilt in Gingerbread and the playback volume was pretty low when the volume was all the way up. Also the playback was not crystal clear and there was background noise.
Poor Call Quality and poor playback volume...
Exactly. You are right... I'm facing the same problem... 1st i thought may be the problem with my phone only or because of the network problem. I'm using this in middle east. Then i inquired about the phone and i came to know that 5 of my friends are facing the same problem and all of them are from India.
Very poor call quality and playback volume is also not clear. Having some noises in background.
Really really disappointed with HTC incredible S.
I mailed the HTC Customer care 2 or 3 times. tried all resetting and updates.
No use...
Please let me know if u find any solution for this.

Call quality issues for me too.
The only workaround is to use my Bluetooth headset Mw600 and then the call quality is fine for both sides.
From what I've found on some other forums, the noise cancelling microphone is causing this issue... Didn't find solution to this though.
No issues when listening to music when using headset.

The back panel started making some noise after 2-3 weeks.It's kind of annoying.
Might be something wrong with your units, I have none of those problems mentioned. I have optus incredible as well, all my software info matches yours

Mines fine, not problems with sound or playback, I too have an Optus incredible S. I have recently flashed it with a de branded virgin rom and I still have no problems with anything. If anything the battery life is alot better after de branding my phone but call quality is great.
same problems, I love my phone but i get ALOT of complaints that people cant hear me!!!
No mic problems here with my IS. Sound is crystal clear in 720p video recording. A friend rated 7/10 of my voice over the call.
Running Gingerbread Android Revolution HD 1.0.1 and MDJ's Unity v1 kernel.
Had same problem that people complained about not hearing me. Was just dirt in the hole for microphone, cleaned it with a needle and now its working great ;D
Sent from my HTC Incredible S
maybe there's just first in the mic hole or you're covering it with your fingers or you have a case that covers it.
I have dust under the screen. It's very, very annoing. I have that phone for a month. I expected that issue from firs week. Sombady else?
No dust under my screen. Still no problems either.

my call quality is exceptional since updating to android revolution hd.
music playback is great too.
but to be honest, if talking tom doesnt work, you should really take it back for a refund...
Hyper dissapointed after update to 2.3.3!
There were only one time, where a friend complained about bad hearing.
Otherwise, i don't have any problems with the IncS - so far...
sorry to bump a old thread but has anyone found a fix to the talking tom problem? doesn't matter much but still.
all the "Disappoint" comments are from ppl who only have few posts in xda forum.
are they hired guns from apple or samsung etc?

Get in touch with the developers might be a good thing, or try different ROM's and see if it's working in any of them.

will give a non-sense ROM a try, the problem persists in all sense ROMs.
Hi.
So I've been using the iPhone NOCS NS200 Earphones for a while. Everything is fine, good sound etc.
I can answer the phone using the earphones, but they can't hear me talking, although I can hear them.
I don't think it's because the earphone is originally for iPhone because I tested it on HTC Desire and Nokia 6300, which is not even a smartphone, and that worked.
Does anyone know why they can't hear me speak? Please tell me.
thanks, zuperankie

I have also tried it and it doesn't work
I am getting an annoying hiss in call when the other person talks whether they are on a land-line or another mobile. I have also traveled to a different towers to rule that out as well. There is no hiss when playing videos or mic recordings as some reported and turning on/off beats does not affect it. Is anyone else experiencing this? With that said the other persons voice is load and clear TY
My calls are very clear.

I've got the same problem as you. Seems as though the device is not filtering out static noise frequencies like it should be. Didn't have this problem on my EVO 4G LTE. Hopefully there is a firmware fix possible for this.

Thanks for the tip! I already got one on the way for a dead pixel / black speck on screen... but I gather almost half of them have that too so I'll just decide which of the two to keep and move on.
OTA 3.05.651.6 finally fixed this problem for me. Nine months late but better than never. Here's hoping they don't have a regression for this in the forthcoming kit kat upgrade!

I bought my ONE from amazon.de and,after 2 months, I cracked the screen:crying: .I called htc and they sent me to the official service in my country(Romania). The guys there replaced my htc one (to my big and pleasant surprise) with a new one.I updated it to 4.2.2, but I got some complaints about my voice not being heard loud enough on this new phone.I don't seem to rememeber to have had this on the original one.....
Is it the mic?Or something to do with the network?Anyone elese having similar problems with the microphone during calls?
P.S. By the way,does anybody know how to enable/disable noise cancelation on this phone?
What I've noticed is that my calls aren't as clear as on my Galaxy S3, not sure if noise cancellation is doing too much, but my calls are definitely more "muffled", in fact I almost always have to use my headset to hear people loud and clear. Loudspeaker mode works fine though
It's probably related to this:

Yes, I know about that,that is why I wanted to buy the phone as quick as possible, probably the first one,which I bought in april,was from the first batches,with that mic in it,and this one is not.But,stil,this doesn't explain the low volume....
I mean,I did a test: I put on a song on my ipad3 in a quiet room at about a quarter of the full volume and opened shazam on my htc one and got at about 1-1,5 meters away from the tablet. To my surprise,the mic recorded the sound and shazam recognized the song!!After this little experiment,my conclusion is that the mic is working ok,but,during the calls something is a little wrong!

yeah,you're right,it's like the person on the other phone is there,speaking in your ear!
But what about your voice,do you have problems making yourself heard to the other person?!
I try a few fixes , disabling the google voice , change a few settings on mixer paths but the call quality and mic pickup is pretty bad. Was wondering if this is a hardware issue because a lot of posts has been up about how bad it is. I love this phone just got it but if this is the main issues that I used my phone =[. Any help or fixes I should check out because i have try many fixes.
I recently put a bug request up on their forums: https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/noise-cancelling-mic-too-aggressive.477798/#post-15452631
It seems the mic is a bit aggressive with third party apps. Easy way to tell is to use the stock camera and record a quick audio clip, it should be fine. Then, in another app (Snapchat for me) take a quick video and you'll notice a lot of popping or distortion for any audio that's not close.
is this a hardware or software issue, do you think i should return it or keep it? if its a hardware issue then its not worth it

It appears to be software, however I've read the original OP3 had a similar issue that was never really addressed--at least not officially. I'd say when we start to see some ROM's pop up those devs will have it handled, but I can't say for sure.
To be honest if this issue only gets fixed by ROM developers of custom ROMs I assume the 3t will not get my new phone
I was hoping that this issue got already fixed in 3t's Software but apparently it's not.
And OnePlus seems to not put any afford into this issue
They don't seem to put any attention! "They are aware" Is all i see. No real progress that one "LTE ZIP" will take away wifi calling. Im ordering a new phone in the coming days and might go with the zte axon 7 limited edition.

I had the OPO which was great, then the OP3 which in CM14/14.1 there was an echo issue that the other side of the phone call would hear themselves, and now the OP3T has an issue with mic pickup in both regular calls and speakerphone. It feels like the quality is getting shoddy and the price is going up.
But I really don't understand why not more people are complaining about that. I read about that issue here in XDA first (but regarding the 3 and not the 3t). Then I really watched every review of the 3 on YouTube but the only one that was speaking about that problem was a German YouTuber (He is called SwagTab) in his review. No one else seemed to be aware of that problem (or didn't want to talk about it).
And I often read "it's a software problem". But why that problem hasn't been fixed already as it affects one if the essential parts of a smartphone: the microphone?
Don't know what I should think about that laziness or being unwilling to talk or fix that mess.
@bmwbasti When I had the OP3 it was narrowed down to we needed to wait for OnePlus to release the proprietary blobs for Android 7.x, but with OP3T it feels like laziness because they're still trying to please all the pissed off OP3 users and shafting the OP3T users in the process.
I think I haven't read anything about it but could it be that this issue is really fixes in the Nougat ROM that got released a few days ago for the 3? If so I could live with this issue until it's fixes in Nougat. But I think I will get my 3t not until Nougat is released anyway
Today is a sad day guys =[ i just RMA my one plus 3t , going to order the honor 8 they had an amazing sale for like 260$ i'm just going to see if i like the honor 8 , just going to be a temporary phone.. i mean why would such a good phone lack a bad mic =[
Very disappointed! The mic is a one of the most important parts of a phone. Ordered two one plus 3T devices but cancelled as soon as I came across this thread. Don't want to gamble with this.
Tried iPhone 7plus but miss my note 7. Want to go back to android, but can't find anything to substitute my note 7. Probably will go back to note 5.
Thanks to everyone who posted about this here

This seems to not be an issue while make a phone call "regulary" where your mouth is away only an inch of the microphone.
It seems to only happen when the "sound source" is not that near to the microphone as on calls.
I tested it myself with my son today. i sent him voice messages with WhatsApp. He said it's not that kind of clear like with my previous phone (HTC 10) but quality is still ok (while sound is muffled a bit) but it's so silent it's barely hearable when volume is set lower than 3/4. And he owns a HTC One M8 and that phone's speaker get really loud
Then i called him with WhatsApp but this time no messages but rather a voice call.
And now he said it's still not that clear than on my HTC 10 (but way clearer than before) but far louder and really good noticeable.
Topic: Really sad
Now there is a good amount of threads regarding this problem on OnePlus Bug Report section but it seems as if nobody of the staff cares about them...
My op3 is terrible every time I have gone to the service centre they would do a software reset and once changed the mic hardware but always acted as though I'm the only one with this issue. It's fine when I'm on speaker or through a headset but on a the normal phone mic the other end hears as though there's wind blowing
Almost all my callers complain that my voice is really muffled and they can't hear me well. Doesn't seem to matter if I have the phone to my ear, or using headphones. About 1/3 times, callers hear an echo of their own voice back at them, usually only for the first 30 seconds to a minute or so, then it stops. Really weird behavior and no idea if it's the mic or the radio or something else. Happens on all ROMS though. Started an RMA process to see if they can fix it. A chat rep hinted it might be a radio issue.
Phew glad mine is OK!
