after the 20th time that I had to duck into a nearby shop or building just to hear my own bloody voicemail (Because the built in speaker is so quiet above even slight traffic din you can't hear it) - I randomly tried turning the speakerphone on and putting it to my ear...
that worked really well - meaning it was too loud.
the problem is of course you can't have a conversation like that (or at least I presume you can't - I haven't tried) - but it works great for voicemail

Hello everyone, my Hermes worked a looong time very fine but now i cant hear the normal "beep" when i adjust the volume. Also i hear no conversation when i phone somebody. Alarm sound is off too. I hardresetted it once but it didn't help. The weird thing is: I can hear the ringing sound when i get a phone call?!
It looks like the other person can't hear me either, thats a bit weird because i thought this isnt a speaker but a microphone problem... Two components crashed on one day? WTF? Need help
I have seen this problem with a different htc phone.
their may be a bit of dirt across the miniusb contacts making the phone think it is connected to a headset.
plugin a mini usb cable and waggle it round a bit then test calling someone hopefully that should cure it for you.
I have a very very similar problem with my Vario II. The sound is VERY intermittent. Sometimes it rings but when I pickup there is no sound either way, from the earpiece or mic, the other person cannot hear me. Most of the time the phone just vibrates (set to Ring and Vibrate) so I know there is a message or a call coming...not that I can answer the call. Tried soft resetting it and even changing the ROM, only works for about 5 minutes then the sound is gone again.
The device only works as a phone with a blue tooth headset, the rest of the time it is just a PDA....that vibrates.
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!

Ok XDA, i have one big/huge/enormous problem,
Scenario:
Talking on the phone, using the Wired Handsfree (which came with the phone), when i get another call (call waiting) the notification of the other call is going through the loud speaker! not only that, the ongoing is immediately routed the loud speaker, anyone near me can hear the conversation clearly!!!!!!
does anyone face this?
i checked it on 2 X1s, 1 black & 1 silver and it's there.
anyway to solve this
same problem for me
I have a similar problem with a Parrok CK3100. The phone can't ever seem to decide for sure what speakers it's supposed to be using.
Sometimes I'll press the Voice Command button on the bluetooth device and the phone speaks out, sometimes the car speakers speak out.
I just don't know.
Annoying that the much, much cheaper E71-2 handles all of this with great aplomb, as did my Q9h.
any one else facing this problem people?
i started searching in order to get a clue,
the main thing i'm thinking is that it's caused the same way VOIP (including skype) used to behave using speaker phone!
what do you think?
I have the same problem with a german x1. ROM R2A.
Is there any solution for this problem
thx
walk
Fixed
Bugs Fixes (Registry):
Sound is routed to the Loud Speaker when having a phone call and get a waiting call while using Handsfree
change the key HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring\Speaker to 0 (default value = 1).
added to the wiki of X1
Thanks. I've changed that setting to see if it solves my problem, too.
Since a couple of days I started to hear some noises in the speaker when calling or receiving a call. It's something like hearing the other person outdoor with the wind blowing, and its getting worse when I am moving.
Any idead what to do before sending Blackstone to the provider? I tried to change rates/bands from 3G/GSM because I played with it before and also reflashed the rom with 1.7 DUtty's - no effect. I think I am gonna reflash the radio - not sure if that would help.
PS I've also checked the speaker in search of hair, dust, debris - it's clear but doesnt sound like. Funny thing - the voice in the headset are perfect also the music is alright so I am getting the feeling that it could be software issue.
Please kindly advise
another strange issue - I did a hard reset and the noise is gone (using the 3g) however when lying down on bed talking through it in the horizontal position I can hear that noise again (although not so loud and often as before which is fine)
could it be the g-sensor issue?
Had The exact same problem with my first 2 touch hd`s. I got both replaced on warranty. The first one worked at first but got gradually worse. The second one came like that. I am now on my third and no problems so far.
Tried everything to fix the first 2. New radios, hard reset. Nothing seems to fix it.
why there's no interference when on loudspeaker or playing music? seems that the speaker is fine.
checked the sim in other phone - fine. WTF? I'll try to reflash the radio tomorrow if not sending it back to be replaced.
How to obtain orange fault code which is needed by my phone provider? call the cs?
So, ever since my Droid X arrived via Fed-EX, I've had issues with the ear speaker in-call volume. Turning up the in-call volume much past half way yeilds, what I describe as a vibration buzz, following any sound coming through the ear peice, similiar to a blown speaker. I plan to have it replaced, but wanted to know if anyone else has experienced this issue?? I hope it's not a design flaw for all of the phones... I would like to turn my phone up past half way!!
Other than that, the phone seems great and I can't wait for Froyo to arrive!
droid x speaker buzz
I too have this problem. My Droid X arrived via fed-ex on Monday, 7/26. It was perfect except for one thing: on any call, the voice of the other person has a "power line buzz" overlay to it whenever they speak. When they're silent, there is no buzz, but when any sound is made from the other end, there is a heavy buzz overlay from the speaker, very annoying. It is more prominent when it is a machine voice on the other end, such as voicemail and especially the activation voice (when I first noticed it).
I should point out that there is no buzz on speakerphone, or with a bluetooth headset/headphones, only when listening using the normal phone speaker, which leads me to believe it is a hardware problem.
I filed a "problem ticket" with Verizon technical support today, who told me that they probably wouldn't get back to me until after the weekend because of their hours...
