When someone calls me (or I call someone), I wouldn't be able to hear them unless I'm in a quiet room, like a closet. The person says he can hear me clearly, but I can barely hear the person. What's the issue and how can I fix this?
Currently possessing cyanogenmod for htc one mini 2 (I believe v 12.~)
Never mind, I solved the issue by scraping the speakers with a toothbrush. I was surprised how any dirt came off.

for some reason yesterday when i tried to make a call, the other party's voice was extremely silent. I could barely hear what the person is saying. i tried calling again and that time i could hear the voice but it cut out a few minutes later. I am thinking the problem is obviously the earpiece or is there anything else that could have caused this? I just want to know if the earpiece on the diamond is easy to change? thanks
Buy a bluetooth earpiece will solve all the problem? They are abundant. Even is small size and so cheap (less than $10).
I'm not sure if anyone else has had this, but this is the first phone i've come across with this issue...
Whenever I'm gaming or something and my phone rings, I instantly pick up and balance it between my ear and my shoulder when i talk (you know, like old school phones when multitasking)...
But whenever i do this people say i sound like I'm talking in a tin can...
Is the second Mic (to drown out background noise) to blame?
make sure that mic isnt blocked. if you put it on your shoulder it will happen
No matter how I hold the phone people complain about this.
People have actually asked me what kind of ****ty phone/reception I have because the audio quality is so bad.
it may be a bad mic. have you always had this? maybe you should call gtc because all the major phone reviewers noted the nexus had one of the best quality calls of any phone. it should not sound that bad
Mine sound great at least. I know this since both me and my brother has a N1. Really good sound quality from my experience.
I've read this same issue before on the Google Android forum. Apparently it has something to do with the secondary mic and how the shoulder conducts sound thereby activating the noise cancellation of your own voice.
I also talk this way and don't have this issue atleast no one complaint.
I am waiting for my warranty replacement due to come in today.
Will report if that fixes it.
Have you guys tried using like a bluetooth headset or wired set to see if it's really the mic issue?

Thats the conclusion i came to... guess i'll start looking into a Bluetooth headset
I've had an HD7 since UK launch on O2. I've had several incoming call that have been garbled. When the phone rings, I pick it up and cannot hear what the other person is saying because it's muffled.
Hanging up and rebooting the phone fixed the problem. Has anyone else experienced it or should I be reporting this to O2. I' not sure if it's the phone or a software problem.
Thanks
i've had no problems at all
mine is unlocked and i use it with the Vodafone sure signal box
Will be good to know if other people are having this problem, done a quick search here and not found anything so suspect it could be my phone
Same problem
I have been having the same problem
Picked from O2 and then unlocked.
Got a call and then middle of the call the other side couldnt hear me at all or could hear my like a robot.
Is this a firmware issue or a hardware?
I am not sure about the firmware but calling was okay on my side. The only problem I have is that the other side is speaking very softly even when I already switch the volume to the max (10). The person talking on the other end also complained about noisy background noise on my side. Anyone experiencing this?

Not for me. when I answer the call all I can hear is muffled talking. It's very garbled speach and no words can be understood. Also the volume is low regardless.
Next time it happens I will ask the caller what they could hear their end.
Looks like i'm the only one with call problems.
Apparently you are... I guess its best you send your set back for a new one...
No issues here, but i'm on a US T-Mobile HD7, so I don't know if that matters.
Exchanged my HD7 for a new one yesterday and had exactly the same problem.
On my previous HD7 I noticed that I was also losing audio every now and again in other areas of the phone, I reboot would be needed to get sound back.
I just got my Razr I (2 weeks) and just started today, when i'm talking in a call all the sound from the earpiece just sounds like static or crackling I almost don't understand what people are saying but if I put to loudspeaker the sound is normal, any Idea what that could be?
...had the same

Hi hportas,
I had the same with my first device.
When I first started to do a call I heard that noise.
I could even hear something when I shook it, like something is loose.
I suspected that the earpiece speaker was not mounted inside correctly, or something was loose and jumping around on the earpiece.
I went to the providers shop, showed the problem, and they directly replaced it with a new phone.
You might do the same.
It's most probably a hardware issue.
Good luck,
Matt
Hi All,
I have recently purchased this phone and am very pleased with it.
The only issue I have is that in calls when the volume is turned all the way up the earpiece buzzes slightly.
Does anyone else have this issue?
thanks.
Nope, but from what you describe it sounds to me like there's contamination in the earpiece speaker, when the speakers membrane vibrates high enough, the contamination vibrates along and that could be the buzzing sound you hear... unless it's a different kind of buzzing... like continuous buzzing, is it?
The buzzing only occurs when the volume is turned up loud. It is as as if the speaker is loose and is vibrating inside the housing. Also occasionally when i make or answer a call the speaker doesn't work and there is no sound from the other caller.
I plan to return it to the store I bought it and try and get a replacement as surely this is faulty hardware?
It surely isn't a software issue, and unless you have a very poor signal while in call, there should be no reason to have a crappy (or absent) caller sound, other than the possibility I mentioned below, which sounds very likely... Hope they can fix or replace it for you
I contacted both motorola and Three UK (whom I purchased it from) and they both said it was not normal. I returned it to a Three store and got it replaced. The new one has no buzzing so i think its all sorted.
So i have had the replacement for nearly 2 weeks now and the issue has started again. there is a buzzing when in call. it varies with the pitch of the other callers voice but it sounds like there's a bee stuck in the earpiece or the speaker itself is loose and is vibrating.
Im not rough with the phone at all and most of the time it sits on my desk at work.
apparently there is a similar issue with the RAZR M in the U.S
surely I cant be unlucky enough to be the only one in the UK to have this issue and to have it twice....
