how to increase mic volume? please help

hi everyone.
i've search around the forum, but havent found the solution yet.
i'll try to explain my problem clearly now. when i make a call, the other person cannot hear my voice, or it's way to soft to be heard.i can hear the caller clearly though. The signal is okay, so thats not the problem. To figure out whether the problem is due to the hardware(microphone) or the software, i plugged in the headset, and the other party can hear it clearly. so i thought the hardware might be the culprit here.
i did a second test, i try to record my voice using the note application, and my voice was recorded excellently. so, right now i think the real problem has something to do with the software, NOT the hardware.
as i said, i've search the forum, and here some of the solution that i tried but didnt work.
1. HKLM\Software\HTC\AUDIOGAIN(x)\RECEIVE_UPLINK_VOLUME = CC
and HKLM\Software\HTC\AUDIOGAIN(x)\EARPHONE_UPLINK_VOLUME = CC
2. hard reset
3. try various rom
4. hkcu\controlpanel'soundcategories\incall\initvol = 0 or 6 (both didnt work)
5. set the call volume highest (still sound very weak)
FYI, i didnt use bluetooth stack or bluetooth headset. please, does anyone have solution for this. i cannot afford to use my headset all the time.
any help would be much appreciated

so, no one willing to help? hmm..this forum is not as helpful as it was before year ago when i first joined it. thank you anyway

You've GOT to be kidding. No responses in 6 whole hours?!? I can't believe the total lack of help around here. Just like every other forum, you need to wait at least 24 hours before you bump your post.

as u can see, by the next 24 hours, this thread will go into archive, and DEAD. the same thing happen to my previous 'asking-for-help' thread. maybe some of the guys think this is just a stupid thread create by a lazy-to-search noobie. whatever. or maybe magician people is more helpful than wizard's.hmm we'll see how it goes

I am having to same problem and would like to resolve it.

Me three.
I have a BT Headset that isn't stereo and does not support A2DP - and it never had this problem. Audiogain does NOT work on devices not manufactured by HTC.

I have also experienced this problem, its hard to tell but i think the problem started after installing voice command, ihave since had the phone restored to default rom and it was fine during this period, i now have new rom with vioce command built in and problem has come back..try uninstalling VC if you can or use a rom without it on.

Is your Bluetooth or FM-Radio unit broken?

Ok, the longer the Test-Radio ROM 1.58.25.14 is around, the more people seem to suffer Bluetooth and/or FM-Radio hardware failures.
I know it's very unlikely to be connected, but what if it might is? What if, for example, the test Radio diverts too much power to the respective units and thus actively destroys them over time?
I don't even know if this is possible, I have no idea at all what a buggy Radio ROM could cause. But I want to know if there is a certain correlation and that's why I set up this poll to see how many people are affected. I try to find out if it might be a coincidence and all the defects are actually caused by weak hardware used by HTC. However, please vote in the respective category. Condition: please do not vote, if you don't use or only rarely use Bluetooth or FM-Radio, I only want votes of people which actively use Bluetooth or the FM-Radio every day and thus are seriously affected (or not).
If your unit breaks down after you voted, post a message in this thread, explaining how the situation changed for you.
Thanks

Maybe I don't answer your question as you request it but I can say following:
1. 1.58.25.14 is radio ROM this is true but it is radio rom for GSM only (as well I can understand).
2. I use bluetooth on my Polaris nearly all the time (4-12 hours a day) with headset and laptop.
3. I do not use FM receiver so can't tell anything.

my polaris stopped working after i´ve upgraded the radio rom to the 1.58.25.14 then i come back to the 1.58.25.14 but the message BT hardware problem apears....

like me !

Some details
I've got both units broken.
The FM-Radio had a weird behavior before getting broken:
Sometimes, when I started the FM-Radio application, it didn't tune in a single station. I was able to solve this apparent hang tapping "Scan _Save" in the context menu on the right. When it fineshed scanning, the radio appeared to be re-started and everything was smooth. It worked a few times, and I thought it was only a bug of the application itself related only to software.
As I said, it suddenly stopped working, and my workaround was also useless. At the same time, I noticed the bluetooth unit didn't respond as well. The device "tries" to activate the BT for a few seconds, and finally it remains off. Today, I observed a very strange thing: the blue LED that blinks when BT is on, was blinking like if the BT unit was turned on, but... it was not activated!
Since this afternoon, I didn't see the blue LED blinking again. Of course, the BT wasn't actually working, only the LED.
I have contacted the technical support to repair it...

*bump*
I'm on bepes .66 now with standard shipped Radio and Bluetooth is still working fine. I do have the switch-on glitch though: out of no reason Bluetooth obviously gets turned on as the the blue LED blinks for like half a minute during the boot phase. After the boot its turned off though and all is fine.

What do you mean with hardware failures? Not working, error messages, bad receiption...?
So far I didn't encounter any problems (bluetooth + radio with stock rom). I didn't vote cause I don't use it regulary. Only thing I can say is that radio receiption isn't as good as that of the Siemens SX1. I noticed it when I travelled by train. With the Polaris I couldn't listen to radio anymore.

Keep in mind that this poll's results will be skewed b/c ppl that don't have an issue with either Bluetooth or FM Radio are unlikely to even open this thread.

I have the same problem with bluetooth and radiofm.
I have original rom, radiofm stopped to find station and BT stopped to work.
when I click on bluetooth in the commManager appears the loading wheel and after few seconds go back to the off position!
I tried to hardreset, but is the same

This is just the same that happens with my device!! I'm waiting for the repairing service to return it to me for the second time. They give you a report with the description of the problem they might find. I will tell you which problem they say...
I bet it is a hardware problem :S

Well more and more people seem to suffer FM-Radio and Bluetooth breakdowns. I gave up believing its any Radio ROM, it seems to be poor quality components. Qualcomm, what did you guys do...?! Psh...

Definetly seems to be crappy hardware. Check my thread about upgrading radio roms:
Reception Difficulties

I agree, there isn't a definable trend so it does point to a hardware issue. I haven't had any reception or bluetooth issues but now my camera doesn't work properly... plus add that to the poor build quality of this unit (rattling keys, sticky sounding screen, loose scroll pad, poor SD card cover and a double clicking d-pad), it's not what you'd expect from a 500€ device.

do you think it's a good idea flash the rom? maybe there is a problem in the rom after some installation (gprs monitor? netframe?).
I would try but I don't want to come back again to the original rom for the repairing service.
some notes:
1) after the second hardreset for a while the bluetooth was working, then I restart the device and the BT was off!
2) with an hard reset not everithing is deleted, some information still in the memory (gprs monitor data, bluetooth device associated...)

Hi everybody !
My Radio FM doesn't provide any sound anymore
I had a SFR's polaris and I flashed it with all the recents ROM : bepe, radio, etc...
MP3 are working great, radio found some stations, head-phones are plugged, but I can't hear something.
What's wrong ?
Do I re-flashed with any ROM ?

The Polaris-Radio is crap, it's of a very bad quality. Is it just the sound volume then? There is a thread somewhere which is supposed to contain a fix for volume/sound issues on french ROMs...

I posed the patch for volume of MP3.
My Radio FM haven't a bad sound, but no sound.
It's very hard, because I don't know what to do : reflashing from the start (bepe, ...) or try to find a radio fm cab, to try to re-install it

An idea is to flash another language version. For example, just for curiosity, flash udK's WM6.1 ROM in English (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=386862) and test the fm radio... it could be that the volume limitation got baked in in all french ROM editions...
If it doesnt work on that ROM either, I dont know what to do and at that point I suppose sending it in for repair wouldnt be the worst thing to do...

I wonder how many returns they´ve had with this device??? It´s a real shame cause when everything works well it´s the best thing out there

S2U2 v1.22 and bluetooth headset

After many many frustrating days, I have narrowed down a VERY ANNOYING issue with the otherwise BEAUTIFUL S2U2.
If the device is locked for more than 5 minutes, the connection to my bluetooth headset is lost...not just lost, but my phone doesnt even bother to look for it. I have to go through discovery again. Then the process starts all over again...after 5 min...its toast.
I have tried all versions of SU2U all the way up to 1.22. On an HTC PPC6800 (Alltel) running WM 6.0 (6.1 has been delayed by Alltel's cell group)
As soon as I take the SU2U off the phone..it works like a charm.
Any thoughts (or sob stories) would be helpfull

what bluetooth headset are you using?

Hi,
You are going to get a kicking for this. It would have ben best if you had posted in the original thread and/or kept an eye on what the general consensus on posting threads is.
Forum members are trying to reduce the number of new threads posted in order to improve the search facility and to stop clutter.
As for the answer to your question, not a clue. Sorry.

In the OP's defense, have you seen how big that thread is? It is damn near impossible to get a question answered in there unless a lot of people have the same issues.

So ask in the "Questions" thread.........
Is a user supposed to post a new thread for every question because the original is a bit too large?
Either way, all S2U2 does is prevent screen taps and turns the display off, it does not interfere with the bluetooth connections.

First: What is SU2U?
Second: Do you know which program manages your bluetooth headset and which is using it? Making that difference makes your question easier. Think in terms like what program do i use to connect my bluetooth headset.
Third: Search, search and search. If that is not enough, search more. There are many threads where bluetooth and headseats are discussed. Come back with information from those threads so we do not have to give the same information over and over again. Besides that, doing your own research narrows your problem

I'm not sure if you have tried this...
in the S2U2 settings, in the Advanced: section (bottom part)
set "Dont Suspend Power" to ON.

[Q] Fix for headset 1 speaker only?

Hey guys, has anyone figured out a fix for the headset problem where you only can hear from the left ear speaker and it's at a very low volume?

i am usin a bluetooth stereo headset, the sony ericsoon mw600, and i don't have any issues with it. Always listening to music and sound comes from both earbuds.

The problem lies in when you try and make a phonecall. For music I'm golden, It's only when I try and make a call that the fail begins...

This has been reported and is in the list of fixes for the next update.

Same problem...
Exactly the same...discovered such a consistent problem with the earphones with the calls myself. This relates to a software problem or device difference I think. Since this is a beta problems surely will exist. In addition the other party has difficulty hearing my voice from the earphones microfone. Only left earphone is working. However I recall in the first days of the usage; having spoken without problems with the earphones (both working). Do you have sound enhancer installed? Have you changed any settings. I will try default settings and an uninstallation tomorrow since it has no functionality (not working at all). Will report later...see ya all

I know it's been reported, I was one of the first to report it. Just seeing if there is a fix I missed.

Well, I've flashed WinMo7 a few times now and noticed that the headset workes fine and dandy up untill I activate XBOX live. Immediantly afterwords the headset problem begins. Im sure this will all be fixed with an update. Just curious if anyone knows of a quickfix I might have missed.
By the way, I think I kinda love WinMo7.
Thanks guys

Ah ok, I'm waiting for this fix as well.

i will be to as in i hate talking with my headset, and can hear from one side only >.<

Hmmm seems to be a nice thread to post my question.
My bluetooth does find phones... but it does not find my headset..... while it used to find it (when i was running W6.5)
somebody care to help me out? Cause I really need Handsfree!!!

Id love an answer also, That was my next genious idea. I was like oh well guess I'll just look like a douce and use blue tooth and then.... mehhhhh

Make sure your xbox live is turned off and then try it, works for me believe it or not.

That might be it, Going to try it now

Nope, does not work.

[Q] Bluetooth connection pop-up: Can it be disabled?

Maybe I'm not using the right search terms, but I can't seem to find anybody talking about this.
When you turn bluetooth back on after pairing a device (in my case, my car stereo) a popup appears asking you basically if you want to reconnect with the existing device. This is annoying. I want my phone to connect to my stereo automatically and I don't want a popup telling me about it.
I discovered an app in the market called "Bluetooth Auto Connect" which seems to have solved the first problem (reconnecting automatically), but the pop-up still appears every time.
Is this a Jelly Bean thing or a Samsung thing? Can somebody point me in the right direction for disabling the pop-up?

I have the same problem. And don't know how to disable this.

bump, this thing is annoying

Are you sure it's not connecting? Mine does the same thing but does auto connect eventually. I do however hate the pop-up with a fiery passion & can't find a setting to disable it. I want it to just connect to paired devices automatically w/o the annoying effing pop-up each time.

I had this issue as well, really irritating when connecting to my car.
The easiest solution I found is an app in the playstore called "Bluetooth Auto Connect"
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.myklos.btautoconnect&hl=en
Thing is amazing, just run it the one time and never again. Never have to deal with that popup window and selecting what you want to reconnect to.

This "feature" is VERY annoying, I thought I was the only person who hated it. It is only helpful if you have multiple Bluetooth devices. The only workaround I have found is to enable Bluetooth on the S4 and then cut your Bluetooth device on WHILE the S4 screen is off.
The added step is annoying as well but no pop up....
Also I've noticed that if you already have Bluetooth enabled and connect your device during a live call it does not pop up.
This has resulted in me leaving Bluetooth enabled on the S4 and answering all my calls by cutting on my Bluetooth device.

I'm quite well versed in the English language, thank you very much. It's people like you who bastardize it that make me concerned for our nation's future. I only wish not seeming like an idiot when you speak wasn't the 'in thing' in society. When did being intelligent and well spoken go out of fashion anyway?

Hey Ostrich Sak, how about we just agree to disagree that the use of the idioms "cut on" or "cut off" are butchering the English language and/or dooming the nation. Let's not hijack the thread or insult each other over something so insignificant to the point of the original post.
I'm sure we can both agree that civility goes a lot further than douchery towards preserving and creating harmony. And THAT is the intelligent thing to do any way you cut it.

I would also like to know if it's possible to disable popup, without root that is, I'm very happy with my i9505 usung build mg4...
On another note, it would be nice if you folk voluntaraly edit your OT posts and keep it nice and clean, (the insults and nastiness is not needed or nessassary) without needing intervention from the moderators, thank you

Far as I'm concerned he and I hashed it out like adults and reached a resolution. Nobody was insulted and nobody was nasty. Man, this new generation is WAY too sensitive and dependent on authority figures to solve perceived issues. People wonder what's wrong with society...
