Waiting call problem

Hi.
I am having this weird thing with my TP2.
If I am in the middle of a phone call and someone else tries to call me I can head the "knock-knock" sound normally but after that the person I am talking currently with can not hear me anymore. I still can hear him/her.
Any suggestions?
I have tried a few ROM's now and the thing is still there. I have updated my radio and next thing is that I am going to buy an iPho... ... take the call waiting option off.

My phone is having the same problem! When I get a call while on a call (call waiting beep) suddenly nobody can hear me anymore! If I click over then "sometimes" the second caller can hear me and sometimes they cannot. I am currently using radio rom ver. 4.49.25.77 and energyrom build 23678. The problem started on a previous version of the same rom but continues, and it is quite distressing and unprofessional to get so many "dropped calls" (how else do you describe it to your business associates!). Does anybody else have this problem or better yet a fix for it???

[Q] vzw gnex - crackle and popping sound during incoming call.

First off, forgive me if this was already answered, I tried searching for about 15 minutes before I decided to post this.
As the title states, I'm having an issue with my gnex where I get this high pitched and crackling sound when receiving SOME incoming calls. I can't hear the person, and whenever they speak, the noises get louder so I can't hear them at all.
I think it's software, rather than hardware, since it doesn't happen on every single incoming call. From what I can tell, actually, it's totally random. But if I call the person back it is fine. They could even call me right back and it's fine.
My friend who also got a gnex from a different vzw store has the same issue. His also appears to be random.
Do you guys think it's just network, random phone problems, software issues, or all three?
Info: Verizon Wireless CDMA Galaxy Nexus running fully stock 4.0.2

For the record, I too am experiencing this issue. I also have the issue via 3.5mm jack and during other audio playback. At first I thought it was just my low-quality aux cable I was using in my car, but then I experienced it on a normal call. I was thinking software for this reason too as it happens via the jack as well as speaker... (Also happened watching Netflix, so that covers all audio output but bluetooth.)

Are people on custom roms experiencing this? I wasn't going to root this phone as I didn't see too much of a need, but I will if it will get rid of this issue.

if by crackling you mean it almost sounds like a fax sound, squealing, similar to this description, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1453769 , then yes I had this when I ran stock but now that im running francos, AOKP, and the 4.0.3 radios(which arent included in most 4.0.3 roms), i have not had the problem.
My GF had a problem where her mic was bad, about 50% of the time i got a call from her she would sound muffled, almost as if underewater. She exchanged it at VZW and haven't had any problems since.

[Q] Help Please! Microphone Dead/Very Quiet..?

Right, here’s the situation, I replaced the screen on my HTC Desire HD a few days ago and literally the first boot since there was a Wifi notification of a ROM update also, so I did it... (Orange UK Software number 3.13.61.5) anyway, since replacing the screen / updating the ROM, the Microphone has gone ridiculously quiet when making or receiving a phone call and if I open the Voice recorder, I can barely hear my recorded voice back, and the only way people can hear me when I call them is if they put it on loudspeaker and still put the phone to their ear...
Ok so initially I thought that this might be a hardware issue as I have been in the phone, however, given the fact that I can hear some playback via voice recorder, this means that the Microphone is working..?
So after a bit more investigation, I found that if I remove the bottom panel that covers the SD Card and Sim Card slots, then Voice recorder works perfectly (but my signal drops off completely so I can't test a phone call... *Are the 2 little gold contacts to do with the antenna?*) So I have come to the conclusion that it must be software? As obviously when these 2 little gold contacts make connection with the phone again, ye it enables me to make a phone call, but wrecks the microphone...
On a side note, I have checked the little Microphone hole on that bottom panel and shoved a pin through it and it’s as clean as a whistle so it can't be a blockage of any sort...
So something is happening when the bottom panel is on the phone, those 2 gold contacts tell the phone to do something? Provide an antenna for it but in doing so almost muting the microphone at the same time..?
Any ideas on how I can fix this or where shall I start? Could this still be a hardware issue? Shall I strip the phone down again and pay special attention to a specific part? :S
Please Help!?
Thanks in advance!
Adam.

which rom are you using? if that's a stock rom, it is highly recommended that you try one of the custom ones from development section (sense 3.5 roms)

Yes, its a stock ROM that was pushed OTA... It's a friends phone, I have a HD2 so I'm very familiar with flashing roms etc... but I'm going through the custom roms section and I can't seem to be able to find a good guide as a starting point..? I see a lot about Downgrading? and S-Off..? (Does that mean Signature Off?)
Thanks very much for the reply though!

Ok... I've flashed a custom ROM now, and a different radio '[ROM] Android Revolution HD 7.0.3 | High Quality & Performance | O/C | Legendary' is the rom I used...
Exactly the same... It's as if the microphone level is right down when the phone has signal/network as if I shout the voice recorder picks stuff up then...
Is there an App I can use to tweak the gain or something on the Mic levels?
I've had the phone in bits again and cleaned out everywhere, theres no dust build up or anything of the sort so I'm sure its not hardware related... but then if the ROM is completely different then it can't be software either can it..? :S
Cheers, Adam.

I'm no expert on electricity and all that but can it be possible that the power input onto the mic is being too low so that it is not functioning properly due to a newer screen sucking up a higher power? but then you mentioned that by removing those plates, it works fine...
I couldn't come across a fix as it seems that not many people had this problem so it seems that it is more of a hardware problem but i'll post asap i find something
EDIT: maybe this

Thanks for the reply! I can't understand what it could be... I have figured out though that if I hold the phone horizontally in front of my mouth and talk then it works... so I'm completely stumped as to what it could be...
Is there no way I can edit some sensitivity figure somewhere? :S
Cheers, Adam.

No mic issue continued

Hi All
I have had the same issue with no mic imput when calling someone on a HTC Desire 500 phone.
My problem started when I paired a plantronics bluetooth hands free device to my phone and started to use it.
While using the PK100 device all was perfect and no issues, but when I turned off the hands free device I now have the same issue no one can her me through the phone mic, no sound at all. I believe this issue is both software and hardware the software needs to switch the hardware (mic) on and off
It is as if the mic has been switched off by the (PK100) bluetooth hands free but the software on the phone is not re-enabling the phone mic so now I am in a situation where i can only use my phone via a diferent mic headphones or PK100 hands free.
I can also add that while in a call I have the option to switch from the hands free on the phone, or to use the phone or to use the PK100 from an in call option all works ok but the mic on the phone will not reactivate. this seems to be an issue with the software not activating the mic.
If anyone has any idea I would like to here...

[Q] HTC Desire HD Sound Issues with Touchscreen

Need some advice or trouble shooting tips.
Lately, my DHD is experiencing a sharp popping sound when I wake the device, use an app, or receive messages via Whatsapp or Line.
Presenting I am on JB and had been on AOSP for a long while. The popping sound only started recently after a period of testing Sense 3.6 and Sense 4 ROM's. Going back to AOSP, I noticed the sound right away. Even with all touch options disabled, the sound remains. It's coming from the rear speaker and even if the device is on mute, the sound can be heard.
As well, with online messaging, if I put my ear on the speaker, you can heard a slight hiss and it gradually gets louder until the pop sound cracks.
This problem doesn't happen with the new Sense ROM's I tested. What I have done was tested different AOSP and JB ROM's with the same result.
My next plan is to download a stock version on GB (ARHD is the choice I selected) and test the issue there. However, I am starting to think that I should return straight back to unrooted stock ROM, but I am not sure if that is really necessary.
My question is,,,, has anyone experienced this sound issue and if so, are there any suggestions or tips? As well, could someone experienced actually offer an explanation for the sound. Is my device on its' last legs?
I am thinking it might be kernel or radio related. I really don't know and hope someone can shed some light on this subject.

I highly doubt that it's software related. I've not seen anyone report any such kind of behavior and neither have I experienced it with either Sense or AOSP roms. The fact that the pop sound does not happen when you're on Sense roms is a bit strange, however I think it maybe explainable by the fact AOSP versions generally have boosted volume levels for better sound.
Personally, I think that you should get the speaker module replaced before it breaks down completely (which I believe is a very real possibility given the nature of the problem you've stated).

Just tested ARHD and when I make a call, there is a slight tick or crackle sound coming from the front ear piece. The sound is faint, but when put the phone to my ear and press the call button, I can clearly hear it.
I'm going to test the original radio and see if that sound remains. If it does, it seems the previous post above just might be my issue and I really hope not.

You could also try a can of compressed air.
By the way buddy, you've been here too long to be posting in the wrong section

LOL,, did I? HTC Desire HD General Section? Maybe I did... Where should I post?
As for the air compressor, I did that a couple of months ago. I'll give it a go.
As for changing the radio, I did and still have that click with calls. Looking grim at the moment.

It's a thin line between where to post, but yours is a question. :beer:

[Q] Noise Cancellation Not Working! Hotspot Related?

In the last few days I've noticed, or the people I call rather, have noticed that the noise cancellation doesn't seem to be working on my HOX. I've never faced this problem before, and I think it's worse that not having it at all. Basically the noise cancelling mic is picking up the background noise, but not blocking it! So it's twice as loud at the other end, one feed from the NC mic, and one from the normal mic - if that makes Sense (pun unintended).
I can't figure out what may have caused this. I've been cycling through the same custom ROMs - CM10, ICJ, Football, Renovate - none of which update the radio afaik. Never had the issue before with any of them. My radio version number is the same as as it's always been (see signature).
Any ideas? Has anyone had this prolem before? The only thing I did differently in the last couple of days is use the WiFi hotspot as I'm not home. Could this be messing up the radio?
Solution-wise, I am thinking of first trying to reinstall the ROM after full wipe, and then chek if NC is working fine BEFORE I use the hotspot again.
If not, I think I may have to restore my Nandroid, which will hopefully reinstall the radio, and then try again.
Thanks to anyone who can help!

Sorry to bump an old thread but has anyone found a solution for this problem? I'm running cm11 nightlies and since the last few days I've been experiencing this exact same issue. I have to literally put my finger on the noise cancelling mic for the person on the other side to hear anything that I'm saying! I've searched all over the internet but haven't found any solution yet.
