I have had a lot of people complain to me in last 2 days (since I got the phone) that my voice to them sounds messed up, as if there's some disturbance.
I'm a religious blackberry user, and switched form 8320 (curve) to this one. The speaker quality extrememly sucks.
Is there a patch or an update or something I could use to enhance mic / speaker quality?
Thank you
I am having this same issue...and not all calls are this way. I've tried Mic boost/auto-adjust, but with no impact. I'm hoping a cure is found or I'll be ditching this phone and moving on.....I work on my cell and can't have these sorts of quality issues.

Same here!
I thought the device was bad and had it replaced, but the new one has exactly the same issue. I've been able to make some clear sounding calls, so I'm not sure if its actually a hardware/mic problem, of some kind of disturbance caused by the software processing.
Yes.. I've picked up my diamond yesterday.. and same problem here.. friends describe my voice as somewhat robotic.. not exactly what I expect from a 600 euro phone...
could be a problem with your band.
try calling through gsm only.
How do I do that ?
I'm a newbie on this area (my last phone was actually a nokia 6230...)
please anyone???
i really can't use the phone right now.. and I need it for work..
That's a lot of people with a serious problem. Does anyone not have this problem?
Should be in network settings otherwise have a look through the manual??. Im sure it would be in the manual somewhere.
very serious indeed.. can't find it in my manual.. but im not really an advanced user (yet) so that's my bad i guess..
fact is this phone shouldn't have this problem ofc
Yes, I don't have any problem.
Same problem here, people commenting that it sounds broken up, or through water sometimes.
This is a serious problem, surely testing would have found an issue like this, or am I being a it wishful that this handset was actually tested before launch!!
M.
no problem at all. very good sound quality!
i wonder what ppl are going to complain about next? judging from the posts here i must have the one, the only the greatest htc diamond produced.
i do have a few complains but not even 10% of what i am reading here
damn!at least the color you like? maybe the black is not black enough
Are you getting bad voice quality while using a headset as well or just when using the the handsets microphone?
Also maybe watch where you're fingers are placed, if I'm not mistaken the microphone is under the phone, next to the usb port... so no fingers there while talking

Dude, this isn't whining...its just not working the way it should! Plain and simple. My old QTEK and HTC's all have cristal clear sound compared to this.
Maybe its the localized ROM or something...
Just because you don't experience the same issue doesn't mean everybody else is wrong.

Anyone else here having hissing/crackling in the background on calls with people?
I have checked settings, I'm not roaming, and the phone is stock out of the box.
With the speaker up to highest and 2nd highest setting I can hear hissing and crackling on several calls. People on the other end say they can hear themselves echoing as well.
Tested a Nexus S and iPhone and both don't have the problem.
Wondering if its just a bad device or issue with the quality of the speaker in the phone(which HTC is known for)
To be more specific, the dead air(in between conversation) sounds hissy/crackling.
I can also hear myself in the earpiece when I talk.
Tried same SIM on nexus s and iphone 4(no problems)
erhm.... LOL?
idk where ur livin or what kinda of provider ur using, but im like 100% sure no one in holland or surrounded (since i dont know the state of other country's have this problem)
so no...
Thank you for that informative reply....
Hi! I wrote it before, because i have the same problem in Hungary... People say they dont understand what iam saying... Echoing everytime.. i try it with another sim it wasnt better...
What can we do whit it??? Iam very angry about it!

your very welcome, and most likely its your provider not the phone, forgot to finish my sentence sometimes im busy and forget to add the rest of what i wanted to say.
Turns out, if the volume is turned up anything beyond 50% of the volume rocker, the sound distorts and can hear very low crackling.
With setting 50% and below crackling is not there.
Maybe a blown speaker? Can anyone test this out on their IS so I know whether to swap it out or not.
Thanks
With the higher volume than 70%, i can hear a little crackilng... So, same problem!
Same problem here, but not with all people (60 % problems ; 40 % - OK.), just with some of them (Nokia users in special)

Just bought one of these and made first phone call. I always have earpiece volume on full on every phone I have and I could definitely hear a faint but noticeable buzz / distortion from earpiece when other person spoke.
Oh well I've got 7 days to find a fix or it goes back. I wonder if these are faulty units or all incredible s devices do this.
Can owners who don't have this problem at all chime in ?
Ok So my phone has done this a couple of times. Basically what is happening is randomly my phone is making a standard ringing sound of 3 or 4 beeps (or so) a pause then the beeps again. This is completely different from the standard sounds i have set on my phone and when this ringing is happening i am not receiving a call nor am i receiving a text message. so far it just happens randomly and even when i put my phone into sleep mode it still rings requiring me to take the battery out to make it stop.
Has this happened to anyone before? what dose it mean exactly?

Happened to me until a factory reset. Came back though after reinstalling my apps. You can stop it by making a call. It is a little easier than removing the battery. Still annoying though. I think it could have started after an app was moved to the SD card, so I batch moved everything to the internal storage except for some games. Has not happened for a couple days, but I would not be surprised if it came back. I wish I knew what caused this.
Sprint ZIO or Cricket ZIO?

Happened with me, too, on the Cricket Zio. Still searching for a solution. Doesn't seem to be a Zio specific problem, though. I read somewhere that it was happening on the Motorola Droid as well.

Quite ringing sound
This happens on the Cricket zio as well. It normally happens when you are in a low signal area for any extended period of time. Normally rebooting or making a phone call will stop it. As to why it is happening I have no idea however I do recall this was a problem on one of the old kyocera slider phone I had in the past.
Is there any point in digging into this? It's beginning to happen to me a lot (as my coverage at home sucks despite living in downtown Charlotte).
Every problem has a solution but I'm wondering if the new OC'ed kernel will eliminate it.
One can only hope.

Can we stay on task here and stop with the petty squabbling. Nobody cares how anybody reads the forums but being a smart-a$$ about it will ultimately result in this sort of argument.
Fact is, that we're trying to address an issue here. And to that point, my phone is still making the ringing noise, even with the new OpenZIO ROM. How can that be?
My guess is that the ringing noise is tied up somewhere not on the typical hard-drive of the phone. Kinda like a beeping mechanism on a computer motherboard. And since somebody reported that it happened on an older Kyocera phone, that only furthers my theory in this.
Evidently, it seems to be triggered in poor reception.

This much I know is 100% correct. The first time it happened to me and my wife we were traveling to the beach and this happened while we were in "Dead Zones" and now it happens to me on a daily basis on my commute to and from work. I drive through a lot of "Dead Zones".

A lot of dead zones in the Charlotte area? Where are you commuting to and from?
I have also had this issue a couple of times while running rooted 2.2.
I too was in a poor signal zone. An interesting fact is that when I would adjust the volume while it was making the funny sound, it would say that it was adjusting call volume not ringer volume. It was a while ago since it happened last, but I'm also pretty sure the sound comes from the ear speaker and not the louder back speaker, which is why the sound is so soft.
I'm having the same issue!
I'm having a hard time isolating what application could be causing this. It probably doesn't help that I'm EXTREMELY new to this forum.
also having this issue
this happens to me also in a low signal area.. it happens at 5am and again at 9pm. i'm home way before 9pm so i don't know what the signifigance of that may be?
You have all been hax0rd!!! Mwuaaahahahaa!!!
Just kidding.
I have never had this issue before. You could try installing my ROM to see if that fixes the issue?f
**edit: just read upwards -- appears that someone has already tried installing the ROM.
This leads me to believe that it could be a hardware issue.
Perhaps you can take it in for an exchange?
ROM won't fix it. I was having the issue on stock 2.12 as well. It did not start till the update so has to be a bug in the OS.

Take your phone back to cricket for an exchange (provided you can reproduce the sound to a rep).
Be sure to flash a stock rom to ur phone or they wont touch you.
After using the Nexus 4 for 24 hours, I have found I have two gripes with this phone. The first is there is no audible alert if you receive a text message while on a call. In other words, if someone sends you a text message while you are on a call, you will not be made aware of it until you turn on the screen and look at it. The other gripe I have is the call waiting beep is almost completely inaudible, and the second beep sometimes doesn't even occur. In other words, if you are on a phone call, and a second call comes in, you most likely will not know about it and thus will not be know to answer the call. Today I have missed several phone calls because I was on the phone and a call waiting beep could not be heard. As an experiment, I got on a call and then called my phone from a third phone just to hear the volume of the call waiting beep...it is so low it may as well not be there. To make matters worse, after the first beep, the second beep takes so long to occur, your voicemail may likely pick it up either right before or right after the second beep occurs.
Software, not nexus 4 issue. I'm sure there's an app or will be implemented into ROM to solve your problem.

The software comes stock on the Nexus 4 thus it is a Nexus 4 issue. Not being alerted to a second call isn't something that can be easily excused with, "there's an app or will be implemented into a ROM". A person shouldn't need to install apps or hack their phone just so they can know when a second call is coming in...after all it's a smartPHONE..
Sms issue can be solved with a 3rd party Sms app the call beep not so big of an issue to me so that's all I can say.

Maybe not being alerted of calls isn't a big deal to you, but there are some of us that get important calls throughout the day, and not being alerted to them is not acceptable. Call me old-fashioned but I expect a phone to actually be able to handle phone duties, and alerting me to a second call is one of those duties. That's a pretty basic expectation, and a glaring flaw that needs to be corrected.

It's clear I like the phone? I haven't stated how I feel about the phone besides the two issues I have with it. Also, for your information, complaining is how issues get resolved because it brings it more attention. Some of us aren't content with resting on our laurels and accepting the subpar. Furthermore, 3rd party software should not be required just to get simple basic functionality. Instead of excusing shortcomings, you should be demanding a complete device. Also, to be clear, I want to like the phone and want to see it succeed. I have a vested interest in it (which I won't get into publicly), so it actually benefits me for it to be a good phone and do well. That said, if it's falling short somewhere then it needs to be corrected and not just covered up.

It's set to have both an audible alert and vibrate on incoming messages. The problem is, during a phone call, neither of these things happens. There literally is no alert during a phone call other than the icon on the screen. In other words, if you don't happen to be looking at your screen, you will never know you have a text message if you are on a phone call.

I'm sure if this is a common problem on devices, Google will probably update it and fix the problem. You can always contact Google and let them know as well.

First of all, it's not a Nexus 4 issue, it's a 4.2 issue.
Second of all, I doubt Google would remove a feature they have had since...idk 2.2(the first version of Android I had). Try a restore, or mess with the settings...or maybe you're holding it wrong.
Hi All,
Got the Z1 last week about 9 dates ago as a replacement for a Samsung Galaxy S3. Generally liking it, though struggling to get used to the size of the handset. One major issue, though that I can't easily sort or find an answer to anywhere.
Basically, when I use a wired headset with inline mic for phone calls, the microphone is way too sensitive. It picks up every movement of the headphone cord, every rustle on my clothes, etc. Tried about 5 different headsets, including a dedicated Android one button Sennheiser headset. All the same. None of these proved a problem with
Anyone any ideas on what's causing it or how to fix it? Is there something simple I'm missing? It's making calls a painful experience.
Thanks in anticipation.

I think with Root you can get work anything even the sensitivity of your microphone. It can be easy like edit build.prop that something more but I am sure the sensitivity can be managed. If I find something I will post.
