Mic on phone seems messed up - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

[Q] This just started this morning. When I talk to someone they hear me at a very low volume and the mic cuts in and out. Also noticed when the phone rings it sounds really "snowy". Anybody have any ideas what could be wrong?
Running SFR 1.1.0
HC Fusion 2.1
Clean Kernel

I have a problem were either sides can't hear each other .... happens maybe 4/10 times... im also on SFR (i think we all know why xD)
Happens even more times on midnight... not sure what it is but yea i've done alot of Odins, Redownloads, Reflashes ... just gave up on it really.

Could be an issue with speaker/mic. Do a backup then flash back to stock. if it doesn't solve the problem then you'll have to go to sprint. You'd have to flash to stock anyway for them to look at your phone.

[Q] Headset speaker glitch

Hey all. As with most people who have been giving DK28 a good run for its money, I've been experiencing the bug where you cannot get any audio out of the headset without first toggling the speakerphone. This started for me when I gave Cyanogenmod a try. I odin flashed back to stock DK28 (vanilla sprint flash), and was still having the problem. It actually got so bad that my headset speaker only kind of works now. I pretty much am forced to leave it on speakerphone for the entire conversation, or else audio drops out.
This became such an annoyance that I went ahead and flashed back to stock DI18 with Odin (making sure to use the correct MD5 and everything), and the problem still followed me.
At this point, it is impossible for me to have a conversation without having the speakerphone on. It's quite embarrassing. I hate having such an amazing phone, with such a glaring flaw.
What am I missing? Have I completely borked my modem? Should I give Sprint a shot, and see if I can get a replacement?
Thanks!
-Evil.
TL;DR: MY SH!T BROKE!
Allllright.
I may have fixed it.
I used CW to apply the modem update from this thread. It would appear that my problem is resolved for both incoming and outgoing calls.
HUZZAH!
If anyone else is having this horrendously annoying problem, give that a shot and you should be good.
Love.

[Q] Tilt 2 Mic Problems using Energy ROM

Not sure if its my phone of the rom but let me say something weird if i go ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh in the phone speaker at normal tone when im on the phone with myself it goes down and down and then buts off, unless i change my tone i will stay off, but if i do change the tone of voice it will come back on untill you make a long normal sounding noise like oooooooooooooooooooooo or anything consitant so my question is the rom is bugged or phone speaker ive tried all the noise cancel opions and all the patches i could find if anyone has any idea how i can fix this let me know please, i will donate to the first person who helps me solve this issue this is a much needed phone DD THANKS
Easiest way to see if its the rom or not is to flash stock rom and try to duplicate issue...

[Q] randomly muted

ok, i am really hoping someone can help me out here. so ever since froyo came out i have been having weird call problems, i will be on a phone call and randomly it will mute me. the mute button won't be activated and the only way to fix the problem is to toggle the speakerphone on/off. now i have tried several roms (syndicate, bonsai, ace) and they all have the same problem. i recently tried ace and it worked fine for a couple of days and then suddenly it did it this morning. i have also swapped out my phone and it still does it!
some people suggested playing with the voodoo sound options and none seemed to work.
if anyone has had this issue or knows of things i could try i would appreciate it extremely. this problem is driving me insane (along with all my friends who it constantly happens to while on the phone with me.)
thanks!
Moved to Q&A.
It could be a manufacturer defect? Does it happen on stock?

Only for about a day. I could try it longer. Wouldn't swapping the phone like I did cover a phone defect though?
This use to happen to me back on the DK28 build even DI18 I think but haven't seen it since official EB13 and even on EC05 now. That's weird. Did it start all of a sudden or has it been an ongoing problem? When did you get your phone? Oh wow you said it's a new one? Refurbished? WHen you got your new phone did you restore a backup from your old phone or start fresh?

i started fresh, except for a couple apps i restored settings for. but i didn't restore any system stuff. this happened right after froyo update for me. at first i thought it was a voodoo thin, but ive tried genocide with the updated voodoo, plus how can i be the only one having this problem. it makes no sense to me.
i guess i could try stock, but i mean i really don't want to run stock....ugh.
---oh new phone was straight from sprint about a week ago.
This is happening to me as well. I'm stock rooted froyo with all stock apps still in place. Very annoying. I never had this issue before the froyo update.
Anyone know of a fix for this yet?
I'm about to take a B.F.H. and "fix" the phone. My epic is doing this on every call I recieve or make.
Anyone have any ideas? I can't deal with this much longer. Really want to smash the phone. Guess I'll unroot and take it into bb or sprint...

[Q] Cyanogenmod and sound problems

Hi and first off, sorry for my bad english .
So i have search almost everywhere for a solution for my problem but no luck so far.
I have been using cyanogen mod for about 2 months without problems (the stable version) but since one week i keept getting delayed sound within calls. I googled the problem and found out that its common, but my problem got worse.
And now i cant even call/recive the normal way, (you have the phone to your ear).
Instead if i want to hear anything from my phone i need to use speaker phones and that kind of blows imo.
I havent dropt the phone so its not damage, and the one i talk to can hear me, but from time and time they also says the line breaks up a bit.
I googled the problem but only found problems with people beeing abel to hear the person there calling but the one reciving the call cant hear the caller.
My problem is opposit of that and thats whats driving me crazy.
The solutions i have tried are:
Reflash phone with cyanogenmod stable 7.0.3 and then 7.1. RC1 after viping the phone and clearing cach. I tried to fix permision with bootloader.
I also tried diffrent mods but i could not get them in to my phone for some reason. Only got boot-loops at the HTC welcome screen.
So anyone els got an idea what i should do?
Go back to stock maybe?

[Q] One X calling audio issue

Hi guys, i have just encountered this problem, it was fine in the morning but gone wrong later then. The calling audio is not working and also the no sound from callers when answer the call. However Everything works fine, The in-call vol is max, songs can be played, calling using speaker on is viable as well as when headset is put on. The normal call is just not working even though it is factory reset
Mind to figure out what problem is this? thanks!
Freddy
Try flash the latest radio , and another kernel , if this doesn't work you should send back you phone . Have you been in a high humidity environment or drop water on in ?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

i can hear ppl talking to me .. but they cant hear me ....
i have to turn on speaker to talk to ppl all the time
i am not sure its a hardware problem or software problem
i tried the *#*#3424#*#* and did the test .. cant record any thing
should i go back to the stock rom ??
or bring it to shop and get someone to check it out

Same here. Any ideas yet??
Hi everyone!
I took some time this weekend to look into this problem again. I tried different roms, including different ICS and JB and even went back to stock (nand backup from first day). No success, still no sound from the front speaker when calling.
While flashing i tried both with sim card in the phone and without, i always did full wipe and flashed boot.img from fastboot. Still not working. No app that needs this speaker works, i also tried skype and talk. So i am out of options now. Is there anything i can do? Would it help to flash a different kernel?
I guess the hardware got broken somewhere along the line. Would HTC fix it under warrenty? Does anyone have experiences with that?
Thanks again for all your kind help! I know this might be cross posting but im going to try and get my problem solved in other threads as well.

I had the same issue and got it fixed at the HTC service center. I also had wifi fixed and changed my LCD since there were yellow spots on my screen. Since the phone was under warranty everything was done for free.
Ok thanks, i will try HTC sercive center nearby. Though im on unlocked, rooted device so im not sure how they will react... will report!

You'll probably want to return it to stock to make life easier.
