I'm having a serious issue with my Verizon TP2, sometimes the other end of the call (the person I'm speaking with) cannot hear me. Sometimes it happens in the middle of the call, other times it happens immediately and even after hanging up and calling back, it still occurs and isn't rectified until I perform a soft reset. I haven't installed any cab's or app's that would alter audio or the microphone, and my hand is not covering the microphone when speaking and the mute is not activated (although the symptoms would make it seem like it is).
Any idea's why this is happening?
Much thanks.
Bit of a long shot, but have you tried toggling the Auto Volume Control?
It's in the Settings Tab > All Settings (Left softkey) > System tab.
I had this set to 'enabled' once whilst recording a voice commentary, but it turned down the sensitivity of the mic during a segment with some background noise. I resolved this by disabling the setting. Your mileage may vary.

Hello. My first posting. I have looked to see if this has already been asked.... After using mute or vibrate function on my XDA 2s unit, and then switching to making a call or trying to receive a call I can't hear the dial tone, or the other person on the other end of the call. I can only make and receive calls once I soft reset the unit. This is becoming a regular occurence. Any ideas would be much apprecaited.

same problem
I also have same problem. my XDA IIs often have a problem with the incoming/outgoing calls which is I can't hear the tone nor the person's on the other end of the call (but the person on the other end of the call could hear my voice). It often (not always) happens without the device had a recent setting change or running program so on one occassion it just handles the calls perfectly and suddenly the problem happens and I also have to soft-reset it to make it back to normal, and it is becoming regular.
This is unfortunately a well known bug that none radio upgrade could solve so far...
Look at : http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=40417
The problem seems to occur only when Bluetooth is off... So the solution is to turn Bt On (and then off if you wish so) and it's ok without soft reset...
The best way to avoid it is to let Bt ON but to uncheck "Allow other devices to detect me" (forgive me if the english translation is not accurate but my PocketPC is in French) in the Bt parameters to avoid power consumption.
It worked for me so have a try
Hi All,
Just the other day my speaker phone stopped working. I can hear the people I am calling, but the microphone doesn't seem to work. They cant' hear me. Not at all, it is like I have the phone muted-- but it is not.
Any body else with this? Any ideas, besides hard reset to try?
Thanks

There are loads of software apps that could interfere with sound, have you installed anything recently that you can remember?
have you applied any "tweaks" that you can remember.
Does it only happen when on speaker-phone or during normal calls.
It may be worth removing the back cover to make sure that nothing has interfered with the Mic Mute button on the rear of the device.
Give us some more info an I'll try to help further.
Cheers,

Hi Beast0898
Here is a list of software that I have installed in the last 2 weeks:
CarlosP ToneManager
cRaCKwHoRe's Snooze options
merlot mToolbox
Shubaroo Contact Fix
tarkim Keyboard controller.
I had not used the speaker phone for a while. Not since I installed any of the above, so if it is a software interference, it could be any of the above. Ideas?
The mute button is not blocked. And it happens when I enter speaker phone by turning it upside down, and when enabling it with the button on the dialer.
Any ideas?
Did you get it to work? I've encountered a weird problem recently myself where suddenly all system sounds seem to stop, including dialing tones etc.. but if I let the phone go into speaker phone mode, that does work. I hang up the call and suddenly sounds are back.
It seems to only happen when I use Groovefish and/or Nitrogen, so I wonder if one of those is causing some weirdness, just haven't pinned it down yet.
if this is the same bug I had on mine, you can either toggle the speaker phone button twice or do this:-
There is an easy workaround for this problem. On your Touch Pro 2 go to the home screen. Slide to the "Settings" tab. Tap the "Menu" softkey and choose "All Settings". Tap "Personal" then "Phone". Open the "Advanced" tab and change "Reduce noise in phone calls" to "Never".

Here is a fix without turning off noise cancellation.

It seems about every day I notice that my phone is no longer making any noises, won't play music, no speakerphone if I make a phone call, and NO MICROPHONE! If I soft reset the problem goes away.
I'm starting to isolate the problem by removing some related programs, starting with Resco Audio Recorder (automatic phone recording) but has anyone else seen this problem?
It's soooo frustrating when someone calls and the microphone is dead.
Hi --
I've seen a similar problem: twice now, in the morning after the phone wakes me up with the alarm, I've gotten calls, where the phone vibrates and shows the incoming-call screen, but there is no ring. I go to answer, and I can't hear anything, and neither can the calling party hear me.
A while ago I put in the Windows directory the new AudioPara3.csv file that's floating around these forums, so I thought that might be the culprit. However, the phone was fine for over a week after loading the file, until I loaded HD Tweak and made a couple of changes with the volume settings. Right now I still have AudioPara3.csv loaded, and have dialed back the HD Tweak volume to the following:
Acoustic settings: Normal
Increase sound: Medium
The last two days the phone has not shown the issue. Now I'm going to try to set Increase sound to High and see if it's still o.k.
Same thing happened to me today as well. I had just installed nitrogen audio player earlier that day. Not sure if it was related.
Same thing happens to me if I increase the acoustic setting in HD Tweak to intermediate level. Revert back to "normal level" and phone works normally.
Interesting, so a sound volume might do it? That's very odd that it affects the microphone too! Anyone have any idea which specific volume might be doing it? I have PhoneAlarm set my volumes based on the time or if there is a current event going on based on its category (ie: work meeting). I wonder if it could be messing with it.
So far no problem after removing Resco Recorder, however... I'm going to leave it off for a week or so then re-install it and see if the problem recurs.
Nb... actually I've discovered that sound seems to disappear altogether, not just for calls.
I'm having an odd issue with my TP2: audio seems to inermittently stop working during calls.
Sometimes it works fine and other times there's no audio at all (either held to ear or on speaker). On speaker, there's a buzzing noise but nothing discernable at all.
The change from audio to no audio can occur mid call, but I haven't figured out if anything in particular is happening at the time. If I soft reset I get audio back, although it does sometimes also come back on its own.
I'm using a 6.5 rom (TPC 5.5) and the most recent radio.
Any ideas?
Anyone have any suggestions on this?
why dont you hard reset???
Hi,
yesterday I restarted my HTC Desire GSM running CM7 and during the first call I noticed that the voice of my interlocutor was caming from behind the phone (rear speaker). I tried turning the Speaker on/off several times during the call and rebooting as well but still the call speaks out from behind.
Any clue/suggestion for me? That's pretty uncomfortable
Sounds weird, do you mean it goes into speaker mode? If you do maybe there is a problem with your accelerometer. In the Sound settings is 'Flip for speaker' on, if so try turning it off. This setting may be causing your phone to enter speaker phone even though your phone isn't flipped.
I'm not an expert but maybe this is causing the problem.
It's not exactly the "speaker" because the volume is very low, exactly like a normal call but instead it comes from the rear speaker. Moreover I can turn the speaker on, which makes the volume louder but still from behind the phone (as it should be).
However I checked the call settings and the proximity is disabled. I tried enabling/disabling a couple of times but no luck at all
Any other suggestion please? Still can't hear from the right side of my phone and rear speaker definitely s**ks
