my Tmo TP2 microphone doesn't work after I flashed Hard SPL and energy rom and deepshining. Mic was working perfectly fine and i know sometimes crap happens. I used task29 before flashing any rom. Roms are working good , people cant hear me when im talking. I flashed original rom and radio still same problem so im thinking hardware failure.
Im just asking around for any advice. before i take it to a phone repair center

I developed this problem too in the past few weeks.. after searching around and trying a bunch of different things to fix it still a no go.
I've resorted to using a bluetooth headpiece which totally sucks but whatever... I guess now I can answer the phone while at work and still use my hands to work (I do remodeling work) so it could work out okay. Still a pain in the butt.
Thats what i was thinking bout just using a bluetooth. but im wondering is it a hardware problem. if it is software a fix.
Thanks

If theres a software fix I havnt found one. There's numberous posts regarding peoples mic's being screwed up and no ones found a solution other then sending the phone back and getting a new one sent or the old one repaired
I had this problem too when I first flashed the phone! I first would play around with the speaker phone until the other person can hear me. I would use the on/off switch on the screen then I would use the proximity sensor and keep doing it until the other person would hear me, then I flashed the newest version of energy rom and it worked... but the speaker phone doesnt work sometimes... but I have the tilt 2 now, and I really hope i dont run into problems..
i can live without speaker phone it sounds bad anyway echoing tinny. Im going to play with it alittle and see what happens
people can hear me its just very very faint... I tested it out in the voice recorder application to see if it was just while in a phone call and... no go. Even in the voice recorder sounds are almost immpossible to hear. I practically have to have the microphone area IN my mouth for sound to be heard. I also tested by taking a video. No shound there either.. Well sound but barely any.
In phone calls I can hear people perfectly fine, speakerphone works too. It's just the microphone(s) that's glitch
they have a repair place not to far away from me they said about 60 sumtin out the door to replace mic. Dont have a warranty so gotta do something.
Same exact same happened to me. Send it back to get it repaired.
Hey on my HTC One X after updating to the latest 1.29 update I noticed that the volume on the ear piece is really really low. Like I can hardly hear people in busy places like the mall. I am not rooted nor did I ever intend on getting rooted as everything else seems to be working good and I have other phones that are rooted. I was wondering if there is anything to increase the volume to a decent level. I have it raised all the way up and it sounds as if I have it set all the way down. Struggling to hear the other caller is a really starting to annoy me as this is a really awesome phone... So can anyone help?

Just in case...have verified your phone profile and also system audio settings. If all is set right and its still a problem, may be just factory reset the phone and see if its gets better. Just a suggestion, not a sure shot, but i have seen lots of weird things getting solved after factory resets.
Maybe the problem is for the earphones , have you tried other ones ?

Im talking about the earpiece in the phone. This happened since I updated to the latest 1.29 OS.
Going to sound silly but have you tired using your other ear.??? I say this because I had the same problem only to discover a sudden loss of hearing in one ear.!!!!!!

The problem is so stupid. Just clean every litle holes on your housing(earpeace area) with something thinly.
For example dental bore in my case or thin pin.

I have an issue: I've noticed that there is the odd popping sound on every video I take. It isn't a constant pop-pop-pop, but just every so often at random. But it is present on every video I've taken so far.
Wondering if anyone else has the same issue? Any suggestions?
I am running stock with the Perseus kernel.
Thanks!
I had this happen once. I thought the wind was blowing on the mic.
Do you happen to have a case on your phone? There might be something that taps the case and might be picked up by the speaker as a pop.
Rings, long nails, keys, I don't know the list could go on.

Yes, I do have a soft-shell case. I thought it might be that too, but I took it off and did some test filming and got the same result. This is really starting to tick me off now; I've had the phone for 5 or 6 weeks now and have only noticed this. What a pain!
I have also done voice recording using a voice recorder app, and no problems with that.
I tried a different camera app and the videos still have the popping.
No other suggestions?
Ok, just linking a video so you can hear what I'm talking about, in case it triggers something in someone's brain....
Again, this has happened on stock, as well as CleanRom. Different camera apps used. I've tried with data off. I've tried with SD card out. I've lowered system volume to zero. I've removed the case. There is no such issue when speaking on the phone, nor is it present when using a voice recorder app.
Everything else about the phone is perfect, but I'm ready to smash it to bits over this, I'm so pissed off. :silly:

Nope. Hold the phone by the side. But just to be sure, I've let it sit on its own on the table and same thing.
Mine made that same sound only one time. It was during the inning when my son(5yrs) got 3 unassisted outs. Pissed me off

To narrow down a software VS hardware issue, the first thing you'll want to do is restore to stock. No root, no kernel, no nuffin. If the issue persists, that is usually a purdy good indicator of a hardware issue. Should that be the case, a warranty replacement may be your best option. If the issue persists after a replacement, I'd say its a good bet its something in your environment/situation that is causing the popping.

Thanks for that. Yes, at this point I've tried everything I can think of. I don't believe it has anything to do with environment or anything, as it happens all the time. It has been driving me batty for the last week; I've done nothing but obsess over it. I hadn't noticed it before, but once I had, I started looking at every video I've taken since I bought it and found that it has been going on the whole time. I got the phone at the end of January. One of the first vids I took was a cpl of days later, which I put on youtube. I checked that vid out and sure enough the issue is there.
I called Samsung yesterday and got a UPS shipping label from them to send it in. I'm not keen on having to do all the work to unroot and make like I never rooted it, lose it for up to 3 weeks, and (if they send a replacement back), lose the $30 I spent on my Zagg screen protector.
I guess I will try what you've said; restore to pure stock and pray to God. Thanks!
I've installed CM10 and the camera with it is flawless. Why do you think that is?
Sorry for bumping this up, but I've done all kinds of experimenting and have pretty much determined that it is solely a TW based issue.
But what I'd like to ask now is: using Snap Camera, I get the same result (popping noise). However, Snap Camera has a setting for "Use Alternate Mic", which, when I choose that, there is no popping. So the question is: does anyone know how I can make the stock camcorder use the 'alternate mic' like Snap Camera does?
I have no idea where that would be edited.
Please! Thanks!

Hi,
I was on 4.1.1 and the speaker volume was very low but on the earphones it was good.
I upgraded to 4.2.2 and it has gone extremely low on the speaker and much lower on the earphones, plus the equalizer app is not as noticeable anymore.
Seriously, the speaker volume now is just inaudible, just a whisper. I can't hear anything on it (calls, music, videos...). Nothing. The phone is usless like this.
HTC told me to send it while it is under guarantee, but they can decide that I damaged it myself and not repair it.
So, first, I'd like to go back to 4.1.1. How can I do i? Resetting to factory settings is useless, the problem persists andI'm still on 4.2.2-
Any advice?
Thanks

Dude,
I thinks your speaker is damaged!
Because HTC One x volum on sense 5 is very good and louder!
Regards from Brasil
Thanks for your help guys.
I think it is everything. It is an old phone and it's dirty, so certainly the microholes of the speaker must be clogged with dirt. At the same time the speaker must be defective because it is extreeemly low and it is a very common problem for many owners. And finally, what I know for sure is that yesterday the sound on the earphones was excellent and today is low and poor, while it is dead onthe speakers, and that is caused by the 4.2.2. upgrade.
In these spanish forums other people are reporting the same after upgrading. http://www.htcmania.com/showthread.php?t=688211, so it's not only me.
So, what I'd like first of all is to know if it's possible to go back to 4.1.1, but still I will send it to HTC for repair on Monday.
About cleaning the holes with a toothbrush, I already tried with normal toothbrush and nothing changed. I read that some people are opening it and cleaning from inside with some specially thin brush, but I can't void the guarantee by opening it.
Thanks again. If you know if I can go back to 4.1.1 that is my main concern now.
Hi. Try this.
I understand the volume on 4.2.2 Sense 5 is a lot low. Get Viper4Android app and install it and do the settings as you would like. It works wonderfully on 4.2.2 Sense 5.

I can't root it by now, I need to keep the guarantee. If HTC fails to repair it, then I will try Viper4Android.
Thanks anyway.
Still, I'd like to know if it's possible to go back to 4.1.1. Nobody seems to know.
You can go back to 4.1.1 but you need to unlock you boot loader and flash a custom recovery and a custom 4.1.1 ROM. Sorry but no other way.

Oh I see. Then I better wait to see what HTC can do with the volume and then I will decide if rooting and using ROMs.
Thanks a lot.
Actually, on the earphones it's still great sound and the equalizer app works fine. I was doing something wrong. It's just the speaker which is low.
Thanks to everyone.
Update: I sent it to HTC and they fixed it fast and free of charge as it is under guarantee. Now it sounds very well, loud. In the report paper they say that they changed the software but not any hardware was replaced. I stil have 4.2.2, so I don't know what they changed. Maybe they just opened and cleaned the speaker inside.

Flash a 4.1 rom

Hey guys,
So I'm trying to figure out why my HTC One is having camera issues all of the sudden. It seems to take video fine, but it has major issues focusing on anything more then a foot away. So this is making it very hard to take pictures of anything. I'm going to attach a picture of my car, and I can tell you that I clicked all over the screen trying to get it to focus on anything at all.
Some important info, I'm on the latest official firmware and on a ported version of Sense 7 (see my sig). I am starting to wonder if the issue started with the first 5.0.1 Lollipop build I tried, because I don't recall the issue when I was on the last KitKat build. Could it be possible the new lollipop software is not playing nice with the older M7 hardware? I asked in the ROM thread to see if anyone else was having the issue, but it did not seem to be an issue with other users.
So that leads me to my next idea, could the hardware have gone bad? But then why would the video camera be taking clear and focused video? It does not have any crazy colors like the known issue is with our cameras, but it just will not focus.
Let me know if you have any ideas for me to try, I would really appreciate it.
@Ahowe125
Have you tried going back to KitKat?
Typically when you try something that has been ported over, there will be at least one broken feature. For me, its always the camera. For someone else, its always the bluetooth. Everything else works fine for me.

As of right now, No I have not. I didn't make a backup of my old kitkat rom when switching to 5.0.1 so I'll have to go re-download and install it. Maybe It may not be a bad idea to try that, and then if the camera works try and install a fresh version of lollipop again.
Thanks for the idea, I'll try that later tonight.

I personally don't think flashing KitKat and going back to Lollipop is going to fix your issue, at least in my experience it has not. It's just this modified port. Once HTC put the official Sense 7 code out there, then maybe it'll fix it. But that's still going to be a m9 port. If there was an official Sense 7 lollipop for m7 then I can almost guarantee it'll work.
You can trying use HD or HDR mod for your camera

Thanks for the idea, I just tried this today and still no luck. Its like the focus is broken. I have not had time to switch back to KitKat. Hopefully I can hold out until April until LP firmware is slated to be released for our M7.
Also, just for the sake of trying, I downloaded the Google Camera from the play store, and it also is having issues with focusing on just about anything. More then a foot away it will not make a clear focus on.
So just a quick update, I tried all the different camera settings and it still won't focus.
Also, I finally had time to install a kitkat rom that I had previously used and knew the camera worked on. My phone has the latest stock kitkat firmware and my camera will still not focus.
It seems like its trying, as it will adjust for distance and I can see the mechanism moving inside the camera, but I for the life of me don't understand why it won't focus like it use to.
After that test I flashed the newest version of my favorite ROM and I'm not sure what to do/try now. Should I try to contact HTC? Would it even be something they would warranty or fix on this old of a phone?
Thanks for your ideas.
Well... I think this phone just might be showing its age or something. In the year or better I have had it, its been perfect. Now this week the top speaker decided to crap out on me. Its more then likely blown, as it makes a horrible rattling noise when any loud sounds are played. I tried cleaning it out and blowing with compressed air with no luck.
I guess maybe its time to upgrade to an M9. But this phone has been so awesome... decisions decisions.

I was hoping you had a fix for this since my mothers phone just starting doing this as well. I have no idea whats causing it.
For the camera, I have tried reflashing the firmware, installed new versions of both lollipop and kitkat OS and even tried different camera applications. I'm almost sure it has to be hardware related.
As far as the speaker goes, its almost always hardware as I've blown car audio speakers that had the same horrible noise. Not much I can do there. I did try the cleaning method with a toothbrush and compressed air with no change.
I also wish I had a fix because I bought this phone brand new and it's been amazing. I can't upgrade right now and don't want to foot the price for an M9. So I bought what looked like a very clean m8 from @tonyb81 on swappa. Should be here tomorrow and then I have to figure out what to do with this broken m7.

It's really strange too, because it just stopped working one day. It wasn't intermittent or anything. One day it just wouldn't focus and I thought maybe I was doing something wrong or a setting was messed up. But nothing I tried worked.
I wondered if I should contact HTC about it and still might. But it doesn't help its been s-off and unlocked since before my activation. Once I get the M8 I think I'm going to try a few more things and maybe put it all back to totally stock.
If nothing else I might sell it as a parts phone or keep as a backup.

The camera and speaker problems are both hardware related. The camera is known for having the issues that both of you have run into and the only fix is getting the phone replaced. I had heard that HTC extended the warranty for phones with the camera issue but I don't know if this is true.
