running the pdamobiz rom as stated in my signature for quite some time, I have plenty callers complaining about hearing their own voice echoing.
might this be due to the rom?

I sometimes have the same problem with my Trinity but I think it's network related .

yes, it happens all the time in me as well, with the powermap rom. the only solution i found so far ( and not the best ) is while you are talking, lower the microfone volume ( while in call, use the slide to lower your volume ), and it makes the others hear their voice less, but if you are in crowded places, you wont be able to hear them :< lets hope another newer and better rom will publish, coz i aint reversing back to the official htc ****ty one
By the way on the Eten forum people who had this problem partialy solved it by playing around with the Microphone Gain Control which is by default set to Disabled,why don't you Enable it and see if it makes a difference.
Same Problem
I have the exact same problem.....I am using the original HTC Rom.....so freaken anonying....
Wondering what the Audio Manager does?

You don't have to go back to the original ROM, just the original registry setting to avoid the echo will be enough. According to users on a Dutch forum who had exactly the same problem. Here's a link where to get it: http://rapidshare.com/files/28751894/HTC.reg

Sorry if this appears to be a repeated post, but i've seen a post with a supposed hack that has satisfied at least one user but others (including me) still are not satisfied with the phone volume. Unfortunately the post is misplaced IMHO in the Hermes upgrading section. Here was my question about the so called reg hacks and phone volume. Someone please help:
Are these hacks specific to certain ROM versions? I have the HTC ROMs and tried these and i still find the volume to be low. I had the original iMate (Himalaya) then the Prophet now Hermes.
Of all three, the Himalaya had incall volume close to a normal phone. Since then i found the Prophet to be way lower. A ROM upgrade helped somewhat. I thought my dissatisfaction with this would end with the Hermes purchase but i think the incall volume level is even lower than the Prophet!!!
I can't believe i'm the only one with this impression. Volume levels can be a bit subjective so i'm not sure how easy it is to compare with others. But if for instance you hold the device at a couple of feet away from your ear (less than an arms length) and replay a voice mail message at full volume, can you hear that there is any audio coming out of the device? Even in a relatively quiet room, just TV playing quietly in the background i can 't tell.
Someone with a Razr or any normal phone can be heard (other party on line) from many feet away at max volume.
This is my one o/s issue with this device. The speakerphone vol is much better than the Prophet and is quite good.
Anyone found a real universal solution for ths incall volume issue yet?

I'm with you ... this low volume thing sucks ... and I am surprised more folks are complaining about it too. Hopefully someone has a solution.
For a while there i'd thought it was my device only.
The thing is if you browse through the registry there are quite a few "volume" keys and values. I've tried a couple to see if by trial and errror i could get some volume increase but no progress.
Isn't there anyone with contact to HTC who can help? I find it strange that there would be no way to get more audio. Especially since the handsfree volume is so loud, you can get good volume playing back mp3s through the wired earphones but the incall (even through the wired earphones) is so low.
Could it be a hardware issue? (therefore not possible to fix with registry hacks).
It is true, it is sooo quiet! I tried several ROMs and several radios... Seems that only the different radio versions make some difference... Haven't tried any registry hacks yet...
I also think the in-call volume is very low. The hack appears for be for AKU 3.3 ROMs, but I haven't done that upgrade yet and search really hasn't turned up much of anything for the earlier ROMs

Same here. UK T-Mobile MDA Vario II. In call volume too low but just like everyone else the speakerphone too loud! Hopefully someone will identify the registry hack - there must surely be one?
I'm in the same boat and would love to see more attention going into the phone part of this PDA Phone--thanks to anyone who can help identify the registry hack or help solve this.
I, also, am displeased with the low in-call volume of my hermes. I've had the stock (Cingular) ROM, and now the XDA Live 0.20 WM6 ROM and the maximum in call earpiece volume was the same unacceptably low level in both cases.
Surely someone knows of a fix?!
Not sure how relevant this thread is - Cingular only:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=295074
Mike
Worth noting that this is not a universal problem. Mine for example with in call volume at max using scroll wheel whilst on call is WAY too loud!!
Mike
Thanks for the link. Alas, the other thread appears to be for the newer almost-official Cingular ROM... I think most of us here are looking for an equivalent hack for the older ROM (yah, I know we could just bloody upgrade.. but I'm taking my upgrades one step at a time ).
And yes, as a data point, I am on Cingular.

Hi, i did experiment with the tweaks, to be honest now i am not sure if they actually help. The audiogain tweak seemed to work on my PDA when i had WM6 running. But for Wm5, i dont need to use it, my prophet sounds fine.
Am tired of buggy wm6, so back to fast n stable Aserg rom, which has no sound issues for me..
no updates? mine SUCKS!
Can anybody confirm that after HSPL the frustrating problem with very loud incall speaker and popping/crackling noise is gone?
thanks,
G
What ROM are you on? I've found this problem to be a 1.43 issue. Other ROMs seem to be set at a much more acceptable volume. The speaker still crackles a bit, but it's a vast improvement over the stock 1.43 sound quality.
the 1.61 rom and Radio, which i think is the most important thing reduced the crackling on calls. You can Hardspl up to that version.
HardSPL won't touch anything of these things.
The SPL is only a bootloader.
I've flashed custom roms even before HSPL was out but...
I was hopping that flashing with HSLP would help!

What Radio do you have on your phone? I dont have any crackling problems on loud speaker and I have 2.06.51.07. If you look at my flashing for noobs thread in the rom development section it tells you how to change radios using HardSPL. The Radio does handle the sound so maybe thats your answer.

Stupid question but have you tried turning your volume all the way down to minimum while on loudspeaker as you may have it turned up too loud causing problems.
When im on loudspeaker I only have it on the lowest setting shich is still very clear and loud enough with no crackle.
Just a suggestion..

It's not a stupid question, but trust me the volume it's all the way down at all times. It's not only on the "loud speaker mode" we have this problem but with the earpiece one too.
The only way to have a private and decent conversation when I place the call is to try to play with the volume before the other party pick up: when the call is in progress i turn the volume all the way up and then back all the way down fast. It's the only way that kindda works for me. Incoming calls... tough luck, let's hope the other party has their volume all the way down otherwise they come through extremely loud and the speaker pops.
I've flashed 3 radios since yesterday and it seems that 2.05.50.11 is the best for me so far. will confirm after more testing.
thanks for trying to help!

If you are having no luck at all I would contact wherever you got the phone from as it sounds like you have a faulty device. If you have tried different radios, different roms and different settings then it looks like its hardware based and not software/firmware.

I just got an HD2 2 days ago and enjoying it so far.
Except I have been finding that during most phone calls I hear a slight distortion in voices and have had to lower the volume about 2 steps to get it to stop. Anyone else finding this?
common issue, have this too :/. Speaker is just kind of bad. I find that even the lowest setting is loud enough, though!
Have you installed the latest ROM from HTC site?
Bad sound in the speaker freaked me out when I bought it, especially after using crystal-clear sounding Touch HD.
But After installing the latest ROM, it was gone.
It was not the distorsion, though, more like noise/static.

Which ROM did you have when you had the problem? And which ROM do you have now - 1.66?
Was the noise/static you refer to there during the whole duration of the phone call or only on some words (change of intonation of higher frequencies) while the other person was speaking?
Well, I have the latest ROM I found on the HTC/europe site. 1.48.479.1 (71294) WWE.
And I don't know which version was when I bought it.
The noise was during the whole duration of the call.
Hi,
I found that the distortion/static was in certain spoken words. I have the base ROM (1.49.71528) however the dang Australia HTC site is only showing 1 update with no ROM update downloads...shame the AU site has to be so behind the rest of the world with some showing more than 3 updates.
My HD2 is set to Telstra so I suppose I need to wait for a locally programmed ROM...funny how a ROM update can fix a hardware fault!

I had this issue. There is a registry tweak for this and it works a treat. I can't remember what it was though. I'll do some research and come back to you.
I've just upgraded to the latest ROM 1.66.405.2 and haven't made a call yet to see if this ROM has fixed the issue, or whether I need to go back and do the registry tweak again.
Here's the registry tweak. Worked flawlessly for me
You can find a reg edit here to try: HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\inCall AND InCall2
Change the value of InitVol to "2" in both inCall and inCall2

Doesn't work at all. Crackling noise is still there when the other party speaks during a phone conversation.
With different headsets the other part can't hear me well. Am i the only one?
Unfortunatelly not.Happens to me too and i know for sure one more s200 owner that has the same problem (from Eten users forum).However it is not due to poor bluetooth performance because it happens when using the built in microphone and speaker as well.It has something to do with the gsm module(my opinion).If you call someone and he/she is in a noisy environment the chances are that your voice won`t go through.It is as if the phone isn`t capable of dual way conversation (both receiving and transmitting voice data simultaneously)!!!! The problem is present in all oem roms that i have flashed.
Not sure if it is a rom bug or a defective batch of phones.Will have to contact Acer to inform about this "minor" problem.

That is exactly my problem plus the other part complaints for some punctuations of speech from time to time. I bought it from Clove in October.
Isn`t anyone else experiencing the same problem?
My Problem Is Worse
Often, after a while, the microphone just doesn't work. I answer a call and no one can hear me. This happens everyday. Also, same thing with apps. I open live search to do a voice search and the mic doesn't work. I don't know what the hell is going on with this thing. If anyone has suggestions I'd be glad to try something else. I don't know if its rom specific for me. Using the 3.03 official rom from acer.

The same problem here. I bought it in april updated to 3.003c and many people say, that they do not hear me on headset. I mostly use it with the headset (original Acer).
The other problem is, that I hear the other part perfectly loud, but there is some pulsing tone or noise in the background. Very annoying.
I use Resco Audio recorder, and with strong noise filter and gain control the recorded sound is perfect only the live sound is bad.
Is there an update or patch or reg or something for this ?
Call quality has been a persistant problem with all Eten, Glofiish and now Acer phones--speaking as someone who has owned 6 of them in ascending lineage I can only add my frustation---however--the fact that they have continue to make the most slim, fast, modifyable and powerful units keeps pulling me back.---This "half -duplex" effect where the called party cannot hear you while they are speaking, however, is something new and especially irksome. One of these days.....

I had X500, X800 (wife: M810) ... there was never a problem with the mic volume or the headphone mic volume (wired, not wireless).
After going from X800 to S200 everyone says that they can not hear me.
This half-duplex, full-duplex thing seems to be true, the s200 seems to be much more half-duplex than X800 was.
Hoping for something to make it better ...
I googled and searched the forum, most saying the in-call volume is too loud and so forth.
But I am getting the other end, where the other side can't hear me much unless my lips are literally next to the microphone or shout it out loud.
Done many tests and confirmed that my previous TYTUNG ROM was better, but then it freezes my phone with incoming calls sometimes... I have had a few updates through Dorimanx and quite happy except this low mic volume issue.
Does anyone have a clue on this? I would like to seek for solutions better flashing out another ROM like crazy. Thanks!

Do you have speaker phone enabled ? if not , thats your problem . when using the earpiece for a call the microphone levels are set as if you are holding the device right up to your ear and the microphone is right next to your mouth . as a normal phone would work . try enabling speaker phone and see if that does anything .
If not you could try this http://code.google.com/p/custom-android-sciphone-n19/wiki/MicGain are phones (well mine at least) doesnt have this file but at the same time if you add this file and reboot it may use it . just be sure to backup everything using recovery backup . just in case .
