Speaker quality not good

Hi,
Today, I just tried to check the speaker quality for Qtek9100. It is not at all good. Infact the person on the other end could hardly understand what I was saying. I tried calling my cell from my home phone and it was true. There was a lot of static in the sound and I could bearly hear my wife talking. It sounded more like an incorrectly tuned FM station.
Have any of you guys faced this problem ? is there any settings that can be done ? Some sort of calibration or somehting like that.
Please let me know

I got a solution to this problem on this forum

From what I read here, its a known HTC wizard problem I guess. But the registry tweak will help you get over it.

Big problem: noise in speaker when calling/receiving calls

Hi there,
i'm stuck now with a very strange problem.
I was playing with the A2DP patch when i discovered that my prophet is making noise in the built in speaker when i'm receiveing or making calls.
After 2 hard resets (the Clean Data and the Camera/Comm buttons + reset methods), it's still the same. I can't use the phone as a phone!
Also same with headphones. It sounds like the volume is way too high. Almost unintelligible.
Only in Bluetooth it works correctly.
Any ideas?
It is a O2 XDA flashed with French QTEK S200 ROM, so of course waranty is gone
Help help help

Hi there.
Nobody had the same issue with his Prophet?
After some investigation, i came up with the idea that it was because i was using Wireless Stereo with an A2DP device, but it suddenly came back, and even with Bluetooth disables/devices deleted/unregistered from the phone, it's still the same.
I don't know what to do. I'm forced to use my Bluetooth headset to use my phone :?
I didn't try yet Hard Resetting my device, but the other day, when i wrote the previous post, it didn't help.
So, You, who are reading this, please give me some advices
I'm lost.

i have the problem in the other one, in the normal use the sound is sooooooo extrem loud. in the bluetooth mode works it perfekt.

Well, it depends how you see (hear) the issue.
I call this noise, but in fact it seems that the sound is pushed to the max. I can hardly understand the words people say to me through the built in speaker.
Maybe we have the same issue, but i call it "noise" and you say "extremely loud".
Do i understand well that you're living with this?
Did you also played with A2DP patch? Or is the origin of your issue different?
Personnally, i'd like to find a solution.

yes i played with A2DP patch and i wont life with this probelm.... i send mails to www.qtek.ch, www.swisscom.ch, www.daanguard.ch, www.teleservice.com and a lot of other Qtek supporters.....
in this moment i use only bluetooth for all calls. but this ist not really a final solution.
nighty

Good,
i don't feel alone now
If one of them answers you, please let us know on this thread.
Maybe there are also other people with same or similar issue that are too shy to say it here
They'll like also to know how to fix.
I can't believe we're just 2 with this issue :roll:

Nightly,
did you have an answer for all the emails you've sent?
I'm planning to flash an O2 ROM back to the XDA Neo and sent it to repair, but if you've found the solution, i'd be happy to read it before i go to Germany.

Hey, i was wondering did u ever find a solution for this problem as i have not 1 but 2 prophets with this problem thx

Busy tone always through external speaker ?

I have got an O2 trion which has a rather strange feature. When I call a number which is busy at the moment the busy tone is always delivered through the external speaker even though the external speaker is not on. HTC support says they have never heard of this problem and I should send the device in. I hoped that the ROM update HERMIMG_O2_1.25.207.1_SHIP.nbh whould solve the problem but it does not.
Does anybody else have the same problem and is there a solution?
ThankX
Stefan

Yes, I have same problem.

Same here on my V1605. It seems that there is stiill no way of resolving this issue.
See thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=61115

I've also discovered that when the engaged tone sounds through the speakerphone I'm no longer able to hear the phone ring - it goes straight to call divert. Will phone CS tomorrow to see if they have any answers.

Hi dIesigner_1,
thank you for the link to the existing topic for this problem. I could not find it before my post.
I also do have the screen alignment problem so I sent the device back to O2. I am looking forward what will happen and if both issues can be resolved. :?:

same issue
hi,
i have the strange busy tone on speaker effect too.
thou hapily it doesn't seem to affect my call routing.
would be interested in the solution, though!
cheers.

I have the same issue on my HTC TyTN, not always but it happens random from time to time. Very strange behavior...

*push*
any solutions yet?
that is anoying as hell!

Hi,
I got a new O2 trion as an exchange device due to screen alignment problems. I also claimed the external speaker bug. Guess what! The screen alignment is ok so far but the external speaker bug is still there. I called the company CS which is responsible for the exchange. They claim never to have heard about the bug and they offered another exchange...I do not belive this will help as long as nobody complains about the problem and HTC is forced to do something.

I get that sometimes too

Found a solution from another thread
workaround update: change "Script" value to "ap" for tone to play only once, and change "Sound" value to "busytone.wav" (comes in rom, at least for HTC TyTN) - it's not loud at all.

Thanks to shadowcaster for this tip.
Also if you want to disable the sound just remove the Script key.

Can anyone explain the remedy for this problem in the most lamens of terms for someone still soaking wet behind the ears regarding my Tytn and WM6 and smartphones in general? Please?

Strange sound issues (this is a tough problem!)

Hey all, im glad this site is up its been great finding what i can really do with my wizard!
here is he issue im having. the wizard has 3 different speakers and 1 microphone. 2 side speakers (used to play music, or speaker phone) and the 1 main speaker (used for hearing calls). none of the 3 work when im making calls, listening to music, alarms, or any of the "screen click" sounds and the microphone doesnt work on phone calls or note recordings. however, the one time the speakers do work is when i have an incoming call, i tried listening to see which speaker its coming out of and it sounds like all 3. the headphone jack still works so thats what ive been using. pressing the speaker phone button while on a call (that i cant hear) doesnt do anything, the UI doesnt show any change or switch to indicate its changed to speaker phone and the "speaker on" button doesnt change to "speaker off" like it used to.
originally i thought this was a ROM issue, i was using the manufacturer's ROM (cingular 8125, unlocked for tmobile service) so i followed the lovely tutorial and switched my phone over to the t-mobile 2.26 ROM. this had no effect, so I then upgraded to XDA's WM6 ROM and while i love this new ROM it still did not fix my sound issue.
im stumped, any help anyone can offer would be great. I wanted to post here before i crack it open to look at all the insides.

same problem!
I'm having the exact same problem! I just noticed the problem recently, when my phones alarm didn't sound. I'm running a custom cooked rom from mattk_r 318 kitchen, but I don't think the rom is the problem, as i am indeed still hearing sound from the head phone jack. I don't think the internal speakers are broken, as when a call comes, the phone rings, and the sound come out from the speaks as mentioned above!
Help!

dropped?
have you ever dropped your phone?
I have dropped mine a couple times and thats the only cause I can come up with. But this never seemed to be a problem until recently.

no major drop recently.
i havent really dropped it recently at all.and for some reason i dont think the hardware is the problem,because i tryed voice recorder,and it records my voice and i can play it
back through the headset.so that confirms that the mic and both spealers work (rings
when incoming call). i really dont want this to be the downfall for my wizard! is there
any key registry entrys for sound maybe that we could have a look at? btw my wizards a G4 if thats makes any difference.
please help!!

mine is a g3, if it were a software issue then reflashing should have solved it. right? i dont know enough about the internal workings of the wizard to know what a flash actually does.

?
Anyone have any ideas on what I can try?

Well, a flash is an OS upgrade/downgrade. It contains drivers, programs, registry settings, things of that sort. Sounds like your problem is hardware related, nothing to do with the OS itself.
I assume the warranty on that baby has already expired, so you're pretty much on your own.
Two options come to mind:
1. The obvious... buy another Wizard
2. The not so obvious... buy another Wizard with a broken screen and take all of its guts out and put them in yours.
A third option also exists... (ther's always a third way)
Mind you, this is for INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY! In no way do I condone the below mentioned method.
Get a new line of service with Cingular and buy the Wizard to use with it. Exchange their boards, swap the IMEIs using the Wizard Service Tool utility found on these boards, cancel the line of service and return the "new" Wizard.

Sound issues
I have had a similar problem but located my problem to the microswitch which is in the headphone socket. Might be worth trying pulling the headphones in and out a few times to see if it allows the microswitch to release (if that is the problem?)
Steve

The wizard is magic
Some how my wizard seemed to repair it self. Its sound is working again...i didn't reflash or do anything special....weird. I think its because the phone had a good vibrate....ive got one of those speaker docks for the wizard..i put it in there...got a phone call and talked and stuff...but while it was in there (with the mic plugged it) it vibrated alot...maybe that flicked the switch mentioned above?
weird..this phone never ceases to amaze me. I just hope it doesn't happen again... because it appears to be emerging as a problem as the wizards get older?
Keep up the good work guys!

LOL!!!!!!!!! its so simple and yet so amazingly smart
wow, Steve you are the most amazing person EVER!
I put the headphone piece in about 1/10 of the way and slowly made a swirling action as i slid it all the way in, clicked the start button on wizard and i heard the "click" for the first time in a month!
Thanks!

I tried different options to get my sound back, no luck so far
Problem started after using the headset-connector to connect it to an FM-Transmitter.
After reading this thread, my guess is that the "micro-switch" is in a wrong position. So I opend my MDA, but can't find any "switch" in that connector.
Is there some more info about that connector, a connection-diagram perhaps ?

what worked for me was inserting the headset jack in roughly, robbing each side of the headset jack to try to hit the "switch". that might work for you.

Yes!!! Thank you a lot!
I have the same problem, no sound in my speakers, just vibrate and sound in handsfree. I figure out that this micro-switch could be the problem, but I haven't know how to solve it. Thank you once again, I love my SPV!! and this community.

Fixed!
Woohoo!
This problem just cropped up for me on the weekend.
Thankfully it wasn't long before I happened across this thread.
About a minute of persistent jiggling the microphone jack did the trick.
Thanks!

suddenly no sound?!?

hi there
i have a Hermes, exactly the T-Mobile version..
anyway it worked fine till one day i got no sound at all, no mp3 no notifications, nothing....
except the boot up sound... checked the forums, seems it's a common problem, and i figured that the rear speaker works (since the boot up sound comes from it), the speaker cable is connected so i have no clue... if it would be broken, than the boot-up sound wouldn't come at all from the rear speaker, riight?
changed like 5-6 ROMs so far, from 6 to 6.5, no changes with sound...
any clue guys what to do?
I'd need to solve this asap...
thx for any solution

can please someone at least confirm me if my rear speaker is dead or not?
cos i hear the boot up sound from it but no other sounds...
please ,its urgent, thx

Well, the first thing that i would consider doing is backup my important data and do a hard reset....why don't you try that too....?

okay
got from ebay a new speaker... changed it and it doesnt work either...
hard reset and changing the ROM (6-7 of them) didn't help...
at beginning the sound could be heard at boot only while playing music, ringing and that stuff was mute... after 2 days the sound at boot disappeared too...
so, does anyone have a solution? when i plug the microUSB to 3.5mm adapter i can hear the sound on my earphones, but there is no sound when played normally on the ppc itself...
can anyone help me to solve this? where could be the problem?
thanks

okay...
going mad really... now i flashed an original AT&T US rom (although i have a tmobile EU) and guess what.... i hear the sound back again, but only at boot up... other sounds in winmo (ring, mp3, music, programs) are dead... can't hear anything although the volume is set at max...
so... i assume this can't be a hardware issue..
before this ATT i changed like 6 more different roms and all with same problems... now i have sound only at bootup... does anyone know where is the problem and a possible solution?
thanks

cmon guys... don't tell me no one has no idea what to do.....
i've been flashing and reflashing the roms but so far i can get only the boot up sound... any other sound is not available.. why? how to repair it?
thx

it's funny to see you can ask sometimes questions no one knows to answer

you've tried it by using the head set...?
whether the results were the same as well (no sound)..?

when using a headset (extUSB) there is sound and everything is normal...

you'd better check the speakers on your device , may be the connecting cable is damaged and if necessary you replace ....

I have the same problem here!!!Have you fixed that??Can you suggest me something, please???

Hi all... new here
I also have the same problem on my AT&T 8525. The Telephone speaker works but the phone doesn't ring or give audio notifications any longer. I've done a hard reboot 3 times. Bluetooth audio works fine. But no speakerphone. If anyone has a solution we'd appreciate it!
Thanks!!!

you see in the WIKI, because there is described several ways to increase the BT A2DP sound quality and sound notification by Changing the Registry
