Since I upgraded to 6.0 Marshmallow I noticed that when I am placed on hold by another caller my phone gives a ringback tone, as if I'm placing a call, and then a short tone. I thought it might be software related and switched from the stock ROM to a few custom ROMs and the issue has disappeared. I would like to keep using the stock ROM until the microphone sensitivity issue is fixed on the other ROMs as my video recordings contain extremely loud audio.
Anybody able to help troubleshoot this call hold issue? It is extremely annoying and quite frankly unbearable.

Hi,
I got a strange problem here. Sometimes (not really reproducable and I recognize no scheme) when I am called and receive the call I do not hear a single thing until I press one of the volume keys at the side. But the caller understands me fine. I got an original HTC device and had this problem with 1.37 and also with 1.93 official ROM now but it seems to be less often with the new Rom.
Friend of mine who also played with the thought to get the Diamond told me he read that on various boards, but I never heard of that problem from anybody else.
Guy at service told me it could be my sim card, because its that old (i got the same sim card for about seven years now) - but he also told me you should get a new sim every six months, so... kinda sounds like crap to me.
ANYONE experiencing similar problems? THANKS
My Diamond dont ring either... so I had to use vibrate so I could atleast feel it
Havent looked much into it yet though
No i don't mean ringing. I Mean sound from the internal ear speakers.
Mine does exactly the same!
The caller can hear me fine but I cannot hear them talking to me.
The only way to hear them is to put it on external speaker.
I wonder what the problem is?

Well its not with all calls. Mostly it only happens when Mum is calling well maybe its not that bad
No, but I can hear them after I press volume keys. I am getting a new sim card from my operator these days, hope this will fix it.
If it's possible that you touch the "MUTE" on screen during the call?
hi DDBrain
if you Mute the call it should be the other way round, you can hear them, yet they cant hear you
I am definitely NOT touching anything
im getting the same problem, except mine is for outgoing calls as well. It seems to be intermittent, The only way it fixes is by waiting for about a min fiddling with mute and speaker function. I have noticed the phone audio works fine i.e. system tones and also music but its just you can hear anyone when making or receiving calls for some reason, but they can hear you?
I think its software related as I was running stock rom for about 3 weeks when I had my Diamond and nothing of this type was seen, only once i started upgrading???????/
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
brother same thing happened in my htc one 802w

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)
I am a new G2 owner (and frankly a new and inexperienced Android user), and have been noticing some small, but annoying, issues with any KitKat 4.4.2 ROM that I flash to my Verizon G2. I'm wondering if anyone knows of why they exist, possible workarounds, or any general solutions/explanations. So far, I have tried a CM11 nightly from last weekend, and an AOKP nightly from yesterday.
Most of the issues exist during a phone call, and still occur even when I have full bars of LTE service.
For one, speakerphone volume is pitiful. With the volume maxed, I can still barely hear people speak. Non-speakerphone volume is fine.
Secondly, the facial sensor does not seem to function at all. When I end a call, or pull the phone away from my face mid-call, the screen stays black and I have to double-tap the screen to turn it back on.
Thirdly, I get this weird "tapping" noise through the earpiece (not the speaker) of the phone when I'm on a call. It is definitely a sound that is on the phone, although I havent been able to find the file for it...it's almost like the sound the OTA makes when you tap-on or tap-off, or like a bubble popping (anyone know the Facebook Messenger notification sound? Very similar). I havent been able to pinpoint what causes the sound to play...no combination of moving the phone around or pulling it away from/putting it back towards my face prompts it or makes it stop...it just happens. It is not constant, but over the course of a 30 minute phone call, I will hear it at least a dozen times. It usually plays two successive sounds. People I'm talking to do not hear it...only me.
Are these just issues we have to live with? At first I thought it was CM11, but after getting the same exact issues with AOKP...I'm wondering what the deal is?
All are known and being worked on. They are minor bugs that most users can deal with or find work arounds

Listening to music and noticed the top speaker is significantly louder than the bottom. Has anyone else experienced this? Im currently on Pure Shamu 2.6 and am going to restore back to stock to see if that might be the issue, just wanted to see if it might just be my unit.
me as well, looked it up and found your thread
I have noticed that also.
Hi, could everyone that has the nexus 6 with the top speaker that is louder, put there ring tone volume on 100 or 75 and play your ring tones and confirm if you have some distortion with some of the ring tones, kind of sounds like a blown speaker, a raddle like sound, and also make a speaker phone call to see if you hear it as well, don't really hear it when playing music, just on rings and speaker phone at a higher volume
I think I've narrowed it down to Viper sound. I reflashed back to stock and the speakers worked normally. Then i reflashed pure rom and speakers still worked. Gonna test on my next to be sure.
Well I'm on a stock ROM since I bought this phone and I noticed that the top speaker plays louder. It's a bit annoying because I'm the kind of perfectionist person...
Hi
Basically there is no sound during calls. You can't hear anything from the other person not even the dialing sound and they can't hear you either. The only fix is to restart your phone but the issue comes back after sometime.
This happened on two Nexus 6s so far that have completely different sets of apps . The only thing in common is that both run stock 5.0.1 with stock google apps.
