hello,
Ever since i have dropped my phone that one time where my stylus popped out, my speaker does not work during calls...I cannot hear the person but the person can hear me...also it works with the headset and when its on speaker phone, everything is normal....now i know its not the headset problem because when i turn on the fm radio it tells me to insert the headset so obviously it doesnt think that the headset is plugged in...now the weird thing is that right when it happened i would hear ppl and they couldnt hear me....but now ever since then it has been the other way around, where the person could hear me but nothing comes out through my speaker...im not sure what it could be? could something maybe have broken or moved inside the phone when it fell? im not sure what to do, can anyone help me?
thanks
Mike
Hi guys, I was hoping maybe someone can help me out and diagnose my problem. For the first part of the day, my phone worked normally. I could make/receive calls without any problem. All of a sudden in the late afternoon, I got a call from the 'missus' and she could not hear me at all. I thought it was just the phone possibly acting up so I rebooted and then called her back. She picked up but could not hear anything from my end. This went back and forth a few times until I reached for the home phone to call her back. After our conversation I tested the voice record and unless I talk very very LOUD and directly with my mouth/lips on the mic, the phone will pick up NOTHING. Even if I'm just a few inches away, it will not pick up my voice whatsoever. Is there some sort of setting that allows you to adjust mic sensitivity? I'm on the latest official Sprint ROM and was wondering if reflashing might do the trick? From my understanding of microphones, they either work or don't work right? I mean it IS picking up my voice, I just have to yell to high hell for it to do so. And even then the playback will not be nearly as loud as the volume I was yelling at (yes my speakers work correctly). Thanks in advance!

Hey guys, I have had my Touch HD for a little less than a month.
I am extremely happy with everything about it...
But a couple of days ago, I started experiencing a static type noise during calls only. It seems like there is an interference or something every time I place a call.
I have never dropped it since I got it so I know I didn't break anything.
I purchased a Squaretrade warranty when I bought the phone. Do you think that I should send it in? What do you think is the problem?
Is is it on incoming, out going or all calls? Have you tried using the headphones that the phone came with? Do you still hear the noise with those???
I am having the same problem. Is this a hardware or a software issue?
I am also getting some static interference noises on calls only , only had my phone under a week , would a firmware upgrade fix this or is this a hardware fault?

It is on both incoming and outgoing calls.
I tried the headphones that came with the phone and I don't hear static with them.
Also, when using the speaker phone, it does not make any static noises.
Any takers?
Yep mine has static too, it can help a bit to hold the device high up since the Aerial is at the bottom.
I had the same problem. Only heard the static when using the phone to my ear. Never when using a bluetooth headset or the speaker on the back. I tried several hard resets and phoned HTC. I've since sent the handset back. I'm waiting to hear if they are giving me a new handset or a refund as I had only had the phone for 5 days.
I done a load of searching and couldn't find anyone else with the same problem. HTC said it was a new problem to them but it looks as though there are a few of us.

Please keep us updated on what they have to say about your situation.
Hi,
Im still getting that static noises , Also getting it when im playing audio on windows media player , Ive also tried core player , still same , so it's not the windows software , I reckon could be a hardward fault.
i have a orange htc touch hd .
does any1 else get these noises when playing any audio ?
I'm thinking the problem is hardware related. Seems like something is loose, connectionwise.
Whenever I hear the static in call, and kind of jiggle the phone around or press the screen and back together it goes away for a little bit.
I am going to take advantage of my warranty I believe.
Well I dropped my phone today and it appears the static noises in call have disappeared.
Hehe well I'm not trying that one out I also have the statice noise in call but its only at one person and its always the same one :\
So maybe I should drop that person on the floor
Onboard Speaker noise / crackling
I've had my HD since Friday, and I'm having the same noise. I hear it as soon as I press send and intermittently during all calls. When it goes away, if I stay really still, I don't hear it till I move. Really irritating for an $800 phone. I called the guy at the phone store where I bought it and he told me to call HTC.
i have the same problem .. sometimes the noise disapear when i press on battery cover, anyone found a solution for that problem
Hi, I recently started to have a call issue where people can't hear me over their phones. Seems to happen with iPhone users a lot. Doesn't matter if I call them or if they call me, the other person can't hear me, no matter how I position the phone or how loud I speak. But if I turn on speaker phone, than they hear me perfectly once again.
I tried disabling voice enhancement which seemed to help a little bit.
I was wondering if there was anyone else that is having a similar issue.
I am hoping this is something I can fix, and not a hardware issue like a broke mic.
I am rooted running Tmobile clean rom. No major mods or anything.

From the various searching Ive done this seems to be a problem effecting quite a few people. MIne was working fine although now when i make a call noone can hear what im saying. One suggestion ive read was to increase the microphone gain in the service menu.
Does anyone know how to do this as im struggling to find what to do? Or any other suggestions of what to try. I dont think the microphone is damaged as I can record fine from the phone, unless this uses the other mic?
Thanks
Andy
Found this:
If this is a known issue with fix then I apologize, but I searched for hours and couldn't find it mentioned. Since Verizon disabled engineer mode, I had to experiment, going through every app that involved sound recording/input.
When I first got my S5, phone calls were fine. Then one day, no one could hear me unless I basically yelled. The built in microphones were fine for camera/sound recording/tuner usage so I knew they were undamaged. If you are having this problem and have used headphone with your S5, this is probably what happened as I can replicate it 100% of the time.
If you are on a call using your headphones/microphone and unplug them before you end the call, the phone microphone is not properly reset and the gain stays very low.
To remedy, simply plug your earbuds with microphone back in, make a call and then end the call before you remove the headphones. The built in S5 microphone then properly resets for regular gain for phone calls.

Thanks for your reply, ive tried that although still no improvement. Really starting to annoy me now!
