hi,
i have a rhodium with windows mobile 6.1 stock rom.
Does anyone know how i can change the volume of the microphone for telephone calls?
I have the strange problem that people complain that they can't hear me very loud. When i reflash (hard reset doen't work all the time) the microphone volume is ok again.
Can someone please help me with this problem?
no one has any idea how to resolve this issue?

Does your ROM have a setting for automatic gain control? That adjusts the mike based on ambient noise. On some of my former phones I've had to turn it off or the device lowers the mike sensitivity.
hi, thanks for the reply,
When that option is turned off i can't be heard at all.
i'v got same problem whit my phone when i flashed nand cm7 on it.
is'nt it related to the rom?
is it possible that the flashing changes the other settings of radio or ...
the microphone is working but volume is low and i have to yelling on it to talk with people!

Most volume issues are related to the rom.
Flashing the rom can change the radio, but may not. It will tell you what gets changed if you watch the screen during the flashing.
Microphones do fail. If all roms are having the same issue then you probably have a hardware issue.
Flash back to stock. Then if you are not having issues try asking for help in the thread for the rom you want to flash. If you are still having issues then it is 99% chance that it is a hardware issue.

This.
My gf's phone (completely different device) had a similar issue, and it was definitely not software. I looked, the mic port was clogged with whoknowswhat. Took a pin and carefully picked the stuff out. Mic works great now

Get it? The title is a Star Wars reference. As in developers are Jedi? Like in the movie? Nevermind.
I have been having a strange audio bug recently. I flashed RC Mix Runny v1.0 through to v1.4 and each subsequent ROM version did exactly what it should. No issues that weren't listed on the thread.
Then I flashed Runny v1.5, followed by (after the ROM had booted twice) a theme I made on UOT Kitchen. A few days afterwards, when making a phone call, I couldn't hear the phone ringing through the phone's speaker. Nothing. That's the bug.
This only applies to phone calls (or at least the speaker normally used for phone calls). When I select 'speaker phone' the rear speaker kicks in and I can hear the phone call just fine, though a little loud when walking around in public.
The headset also works perfectly.
I flashed RCMix3d 3.5 v1.0 today - no themes this time in case it was the cause last time. The ROM boots up just fine, everything seems perfect but when I go to make a phone call the same bug presents itself. Meaning it's most likely a bug I have caused, not a bug in a ROM.
But what did I do?! Has anyone heard of this behavior before? Could it be radio/RIL related?
If anyone can shed a little light, I would appreciate it greatly.

Please search before opening a new post as I have seen this pop up alot the past few days with that rom. I would look in the roms thread
I will search more thoroughly. Apologies for any infraction.
Cheers for pointing the way.

While you are searching for hours for a solution, download a different ROM (other than RCMix) and find out if it is really a bug or some hardware issue. And while you wait for the download and flash, keep searching

Thanks for your advice. I heeded it!
I flashed Black Ice [AOSP] to see if it was still persisting. It is.
Seems like it's a hardware problem. I was hoping it wasn't. I didn't want to have to pay to fix it!
Ta for the help!
try changing the radio or kernel see if it helps

I was holding back on changing the radio because I don't like higher risk of bricking. Having done it in the past though, I said it was worth a shot before I blame the hardware entirely and hand over money to fix it.
I had been using radio 26.09.04.11 and it's matching RIL with every ROM I tried.
Once changed to radio 26.13.04.19_M and it's corresponding RIL and the problem was erased. I can hear phone calls on the phone speaker again. (Like normal folk!)
Thanks for the push rakinisbat, I needed it!
Edit: NOT SOLVED. The problem has re-surfaced. I have made absolutely no changes to the system since it started working. I am now going to pay someone to take a look and will report back with results.
Definitely not solved.
This problem with the receiver not working has not gone away.
I have tried ignoring it for the last while and just using the speakerphone on a low volume - not ideal but workable.
A few days ago I changed ROM - curious to try out ICS. I load up the new ROM and a while later, accidentally forgot to put a call I was making onto speakerphone and suddenly the receiver is working again - JOY!
Now, two days later, the receiver is not working again.
I have pry tools now and would happily change the receiver, but this recurring trend of it working for a spell after a new ROM is flashed leads me to believe this is more software related than hardware.
If anyone has ANY ideas or thinks they could help (if I provide a logcat to them or something) then please PM me or respond to this thread.
Everything works fine for me...never experienced this .....check your audio settings....and why you running such an old version??

The last time I changed to that radio, my audio bug was fixed (temporarily).
I will update to the new radio (12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28) I saw mentioned a few days ago and see if it changes anything - though I doubt it.
I have done a fair bit of research on this and it is not as uncommon as I thought it was a few months ago. It seems to have happened to the HTC Desire, Desire S and Desire HD - but not en mass. In every case, the phone was working fine, then came intermittent receiver audio, then receiver audio gone altogether.
I have not heard of one working solution, though I have had some helpful people lend an ear!

You say the problem is solved for a while when you flash a new ROM. Is there a possibility that a certain app that you install/restore that maybe messes with the speaker?
Just a thought..

An avenue I had not gone down. I have been restoring mostly the same apps for ages.
Thanks for the idea. I will do a backup and then a fresh install tomorrow (I'm at work) and check. Will report back afterwards.
Ongoing audio issue
I have fully wiped the phone and re-installed a ROM twice now (ICS both times, I know this problem acts the same with GB). I didn't install any apps for a while and had audio in the receiver for phone calls.
The first time I wiped it, I had audio back so decided to install apps from the market - one at a time and test the receiver by ringing the house number after each is installed. I got distracted (it was late) and when I next picked up the phone, audio was gone.
Second attempt, this time stay vigilant. I fully wiped the phone, installed a ROM, and got to work on installing the apps again. I installed a few apps, which I will list here, and audio disappears again.
Installed apps:-
Dictionary.com
Dropbox
Earth
Es File Explorer
Facebook
Goggles (I dunno why, the camera isn't even working - habit maybe)
Google Sky Map
Google+
Messenger
Moon+ Reader Pro
MX Video Player
Streetview For Google Maps
Sugarsync
Tumblr
Twitter
XDA
To my knowledge, apart from MX Video Player, none of the rest these apps should have any effect on the audio.
Today I am going to wipe it and not install any apps for the next 24-48 hours and see if the audio still disappears.
Tune in next time to see if the problem makes my brain crack in two.

I had exactly the same issue. After rooting my desire HD I installed ARHD 6.3.1 and it was working very fine until I installed the ICE HD theme for ARHD 6.3.1. Sorry, no disrespect to the theme author but I was not able to hear anything through Phone speakers after installing this theme. This is what I did to solve this issue,
1- Use Superwipe to clear everything using ClockworkMod recovery.
2- Install the STOCK 1.32 PD98IMG.zip from here. Put it in your SD card, Flash is using the HTC Stock Recovery (It will detect it automatically). Remember that the Kernel and Radio are inside this ZIP file so you need not to install anything else.
That's it. you are back to old stock ROM and now you must be able to hear you phone speakers. If not, switch off your phone for few hours and then turn on. (I know switching off and on sounds silly but it worked for me). You can install any custom ROM after that rooting again.

Thanks so much for getting on to me, I have been hoping that someone out there solved this issue and might read this little thread!
I will be following your advice today and will report back.
Solution seems good so far!
I'm not going to jump the gun again and say that it is definitely solved but my audio came back!
I did what you said, reverted everything back to stock. When it loaded up Froyo and for the first while, the receiver wasn't working. I set about rooting, Radio S-Off, ENG S-Off, adding CWM etc.
About three hours later (I didn't actually leave the phone off, I reset it a lot though) the audio returned to the receiver!
I'm delighted but remain skeptical as it has come back to life and then died again so many times before.
I want to believe!!!... So I remain hopeful. Time will tell.
It fixed itself...(!)
See post below
Absolutely positively finally fixed.
Thanks to everyone for their help in trying to solve this issue.
I replaced the broken receiver with a new one I got from eBay (along with prytools for under €10) and this issue is completely fixed.
What had happened, if anyone is interested, was that the inside of receiver housing and the output on the receiver itself had been clogged with dust, tiny hairs and the like. That must have shorted the tiny thing.
Lesson learned. Get stuck in.
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!

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 ?

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.
Regards heintosz..

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.
I had this phone for 5 months now and within that period i'm having this sound issue..when you listen to music after a few mins the sound freezes and also everything that involves audio is silent even phone calls the only to restore back is to restart phone then its OK but after a while it gets back to the problem..I was running the stock 4.1.2 at that time so was thinking of an update so i did upgrade it to 4.3 tru kies but still having the audio problem,i've been doing what others suggested factory reset or wipe cache but this doesn't solve the issue..its really annoying how you missed messages and calls from your bosses if you know what i mean..in fact while i'm doing this post i just finished resetting again my phone..
I've been searching around goggling this issue it seems i'm not the only one having this problem but i failed to look for solutions to this issue so please if you know something i would be very pleased if you may share how to solve it..thanks a lot

I think this is a motherboard problem already....
-The story -
So I bought my mi mix 2 off swappa used and it was pretty much mint condition. When I received it it was on latest miui 11 global locked bootloader no root.. All worked fine for about three weeks. I ended up buying windows 10, again, which made me throw up a lil in my mouth. I did this so that I could use the mi unlock tool to unlock my bootloader. The java Linux tool no longer works to unlock if you use Linux so rn kinda forced to buy Windows. So I unlocked bootloader and then installed twrp and made a backup like I do with every phone since Android began. I then flashed HAVOC 3.1 using latest twrp recovery. I quickly realized my speaker decided to stop working in the earpiece soon after that. I ran some tests using apps and the earpiece speaker works, but NOT in a call. :crying:
-The problem I'm having in detail-
When I make a call to anyone they can hear me but I can hear NOTHING at all. Not low volume, but no sound whatsoever. If I switch to speaker phone however I can hear them and they can hear me fine. The top speaker that doesn't work during calls works when I tested it but refuses to work while on any call.
So naturally I Google searched the world for a few days hoping to find a fix. Then I thought maybe it was my recovery, maybe it was firmware I used, maybe it's a rom bug...etc...etc... I never proved it to be any of the things I thought it could be. I've installed other roms and I get the same thing with them. I've tried other firmware and same deal. I've disabled encryption, used magisk and not used magisk... Anyway, you get the picture.
Would anyone happen to know something I can do to fix this? I read some people touch up where top speaker is during a call ..That didn't work. ? I did 29 reboots and that did nothing. I checked the ear piece and cleaned what I could and that did nothing. I've wiped several different ways and used orange fox recovery and twrp different versions of both and that did nothing.
Please someone who's smart chime in and tell me I'm dumb and all I have to do is xyz and I can hear again from the earpiece on calls. Can it be a defective speaker? If so why does the speaker work fine on anything but NOT when making a call? Can it still be a defective speaker?
I did read TONS of reports of sound issues on Xiaomi devices across the board. That didn't make me smile much.. Anyway any advice or thoughts or anything would sure be extremely helpful and I'd forever be grateful. I hope you all have a good day and your speaker never acts stupid like mine is on my phone.

Try the latest version of Havoc 3.0, not 3.1. my device also has an unspeakable error on the call of messenger with most of the android 10 rom, i can hear the voice of the other side, but they can't hear me, after trying a lot of android 10 rom, i found only havoc os 3.0 is not making that error. Though it's not your fault, I think you should try it.

Mine is I can't hear them but they can bear me. What the hell is going on. Hahaha! If all else fails I'm going to get a new top receiver speaker put in at a shop close by. It does appear that many Xiaomi devices have had sound issues and have had speakers replaced. If you search on YouTube Xiaomi no sound on call or speaker replacement you'll see MANY videos on "how to." Quite a few videos specifically for mi mix 2. They should let us upgrade at least to the mix 2s for free.
I'll try 3.0 havoc but I've flashed around on Android 10 and 9 and problem hasn't gone away. Still zero sound on my end on calls but all speakers work doing anything else. Appreciate the recommendation. Thanks for commenting. Later today's ill flash 3.0 and see what's up. Then I may pull a few kernels from other roms and switch em out with whatever I'm on and see if I can't get something going that way.
I will also post a log of me on the phone talking and maybe someone can see something that's wrong... Hope so anyway..

Would anyone happen to know something I can do to fix this? I read some people touch up where top speaker is during a call ..That didn't work. I did 29 reboots and that did nothing. I checked the ear piece and cleaned what I could and that did nothing. I've wiped several different ways and used orange fox recovery and twrp different versions of both and that did nothing.
Please someone who's smart chime in and tell me I'm dumb and all I have to do is xyz and I can hear again from the earpiece on calls. Can it be a defective speaker? If so why does the speaker work fine on anything but NOT when making a call? Can it still be a defective speaker?
I did read TONS of reports of sound issues on Xiaomi devices across the board. That didn't make me smile much.. Anyway any advice or thoughts or anything would sure be extremely helpful and I'd forever be grateful. I hope you all have a good day and your speaker never acts stupid like mine is on my phone.

I never thought that my sound issue was related to havoc in any way I am almost positive its a broken speaker. Looks as though that type of thing happens often on this device and other xiaomi devices. Google search receiver speaker replacement really fast and watch how many things show up about it. Its all over. I'm going to get a replacement. Using my moto g7 power rn as my main phone so I can have conversations and hear on my end. I always clean flash everything I flash. I never fail to wipe data, system, cache, delik cache on any install.
I have the same problem after installing Havoc 3.1. I tried updating the firmware...and rolling back the firmware to 9.5.16 to no avail

-The story -
So I bought my mi mix 2 off swappa used and it was pretty much mint condition. When I received it it was on latest miui 11 global locked bootloader no root.. All worked fine for about three weeks. I ended up buying windows 10, again, which made me throw up a lil in my mouth. I did this so that I could use the mi unlock tool to unlock my bootloader. The java Linux tool no longer works to unlock if you use Linux so rn kinda forced to buy Windows. So I unlocked bootloader and then installed twrp and made a backup like I do with every phone since Android began. I then flashed HAVOC 3.1 using latest twrp recovery. I quickly realized my speaker decided to stop working in the earpiece soon after that. I ran some tests using apps and the earpiece speaker works, but NOT in a call. :crying:
-The problem I'm having in detail-
When I make a call to anyone they can hear me but I can hear NOTHING at all. Not low volume, but no sound whatsoever. If I switch to speaker phone however I can hear them and they can hear me fine. The top speaker that doesn't work during calls works when I tested it but refuses to work while on any call.
So naturally I Google searched the world for a few days hoping to find a fix. Then I thought maybe it was my recovery, maybe it was firmware I used, maybe it's a rom bug...etc...etc... I never proved it to be any of the things I thought it could be. I've installed other roms and I get the same thing with them. I've tried other firmware and same deal. I've disabled encryption, used magisk and not used magisk... Anyway, you get the picture.

This is just too strange. So maybe my issue does have something to do with installing Havoc 3.1. That was the first rom I flashed after I unlocked my bootloader and speaker worked fine on latest MIUI Global rom before... I wonder if it's possible to break a speaker due to a rom installation? I've never heard of that before. I thought surely it was just the rom and was a bug or a firmware problem. I flashed all kinda firmwares afterwards in latest twrp and also sideloaded a few to see if maybe something wasn't right with recovery and like you say it did not change anything at all. I still get zero sound on my receiver speaker while on a call.
I'm going to try a few more things and see if it does anything. If I find a fix or something that allows me to hear anything at all out of my end on receiver speaker I'll most definitely add it here in a post and to the op. Seems like there would be more people than us if it had something to do with Havoc... Idk. Appreciate your information. I hope we can get this fixed soon. I never even hardly used my phone when the speaker worked. ? I bought it used off swappa and about two weeks later unlocked and flashed Havoc and no sound during calls on my end.
Did you flash magisk also? Maybe that caused the problem...
I'm using Google phone but have also tried the stock Android phone as well as a couple of different versions of firmware. If no solution emerges I'm going to disassemble the phone and see if the earpiece has lost connection

I used an app off Google play store to test speakers and my receiver speaker works but refuses to work during a call on my end. It did have sound come through loud and clear when I ran the tests I did when it first happened. I've flashed using magisk stable, canary, formatted data, used different firmwares, everything know to mankind and searched around and tried several things online and nothing. I've been trying to boot the Android 10 GSIs to see if that makes any difference but have had no luck using the same vendor and boot everyone used on pie GSIs so I snatched some from different roms and still no luck on GSIs that are Android 10. Lemme find link to test all i used and I'll return and post a link. Brb

You should add your findings to the havoc thread...if there are 2 people with the exact same problem maybe the developers will take notice and investigate

I doubt it and I did make a post there a while back about it. There are many others there ok that thread who reported sound issues and I wanted to confirm what for sure caused it before I put the blame all on a rom... The speakers on this device have had issues MANY times based on all the reports i read all over the internet. But if I can confirm exactly what it is I'll dang sure be very open about it online and let the world know in hopes that if it was something I did maybe someone else won't and I can somehow prevent it. But I did make a post there when it occurred. Search my username on the thread and you'll see it.
When you set a ringtone does sound come from your top speaker? On my device it does. Just curious. See if you can hear any sound selecting different ringtones. ?

I did find some info about pixel users who had this problem, in that case the problem was caused by file association issues with the phone app and Google play services. Some people were able to fix by removing the permissions of Google play services. I tried this approach but many of the permissions cannot be disabled

I'm going to clean flash now after I do a backup and I'll install havoc and NanoDroid which eliminates Googles hold on all our devices. Once I get all setup I'll run some tests and see if maybe this solves it.
NanoDroid: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3584928
[MODULE/SYSTEM] NanoDroid 22.5.1.20200102 (microG, pseudo-debloat, F-Droid + apps)
No difference

On my other device , Moto G7 Power see the 8th post here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g7-power/development/rom-havoc-os-3-2-t4058987
This time I haven't had it occur on G7 Power but when I saw that guys post I had a flash back. :/
I suspect FW issue. Started not using top speaker after SW update. 10.0.6 When I receive a call and press the volume button, the 'earpiece' icon bar appear. I suspect the phone switch the sound to the 'earpiece' even if there is no earpiece. I even switched Bluetooth off, and still happens. The phone thinks there is a earpiece/headset connected even if there is none. I think Xiaomi Mi devs should post a solution or update. The issue is wide spread.
[edit 17Jul20]
OK, it happened again today. No sound from top speaker when making or receiving calls. Had to switch to speaker phone. Then I cleared the 'Contact and dialer' app cache memory. (And for good measure the other caller and dailer apps also. TOP SPEAKER CAME ALIVE AGAIN!! So I am pretty sure its a bug/memory issue.
What I did: Long press the dailer icon - tap on App info - press 'Clear data' icon and select to clear chache memory.

What's crazy is this happened on my device just after I wiped data, system cache and flashed HAVOC which was the first rom that I flashed when I got this device. And I flashed my firmware and it did nothing at all. I'm getting a another speaker from eBay this week. They're only like $3 US. Gonna replace it and see what happens. ?
