My stock HTC EVO 4G started to act funny. I could hear people but no one could hear me. Then, it switched roles, I can't hear people but they can hear me. Speaker works fine. I rooted my phone and got an unofficial cm9 rom, and viola, it worked again! The problem with that rom was I had to sacrifice 4G working. So, I switched to an official cm7 rom. I got the 4G but not being able to hear people returned. I have a pair of white Sony headphones (25-30 bucks) that I can hear out of with the phone. iPhone headphones will not work, even though they show the mic icon.
Any help will be appreciated. Need any more info, let me know.

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.
Ever since the Sprint 2.2 update, my audio via Bluetooth cuts out. The person on the other end can still hear me, but I cannot hear them.
It comes and goes. I've tried un-pairing and re-pairing, but it doesn't seem to have helped. I'm using the original Jawbone ear piece.
I haven't seen anyone else complain about this.
I've had this issues with other ROMs. Then I told Cyanogen and he patched it imeediately, and the fix went into effect in the nightly, then RC1.
Seriously though, sounds like either an issue with your headset, your particular EVO, or you can just thank HTC for their proprietary PoS BT stack. Sorry mate. :/
Well, if no one else has the same issue, then it's just my EVO.
I can't even pair my jawbone since I flashed a 2.2 ROM. I did notice while talking to a fellow Evo user that their headset sounded like crap with the OTA. I don't think you are alone.
I can't seem to find any mention of this anywhere else, and I have looked. My wife and I both have E4GT and are both experiencing this issue everyday and we both have different Bluetooth headsets.
We will walk away from our phones far enough that our headsets disconnect. Once we close enough, sometimes they connect back up, but most of the time, we have to shut off the Bluetooth radio in the phone and turn it back on before it will connect again. Once in a while we are right next to the phone and it will disconnect for no reason at all.
My wife has a cheaper Rocketfish headset and I have a more expensive Jawbone.
Anyone else having this problem?
both our phones are rooted and we're both running Caulkins rom. She is running an older 2.8.0 and I am sporting 2.8.1. I have asked this in his rom thread, but twice have gotten no responses. I can't find anywhere if there is a Bluetooth radio driver update like with modems.
Did this happen while you were on stock?

HAHA, I knew someone would ask that!
To be honest with you, we got these phones and two hours later, I had them rooted and flashed, so I couldn't say. I've been rooting and flashing roms since we had our first Droid 1 phones and I just can't seem to leave well enough alone.
I have the same issue with a Jawbone Era.
Has happened on stock roms as well as Caulk's and UnNamed.
What happens with my Era is that it will just stop working. Phone will show that it is still paired, but I get no audio to the device. The only way to fix it is to turn off the Era headset, and turn off bluetooth on the phone. Then turn BT back on, followed by the headset.
It's a real PITA. I got this headset after reading several reviews on the webs saying that it was a great unit.
It is, when it works. Unfortunately this happens at least once a day.
I am looking for a solution as well, and I was even thinking of getting a different headset but after reading that it's happening with completely different headsets makes me think that won't solve anything.
I'll try to report back if I find anything.
One other note, the Jawbone Companion app also is very flaky. Most of the time it will not detect the Era headset even when the phone is connected and it's working fine. This too happens on both stock and custom roms.
Bluetooth
Make sure your phone is set to always discoverable and when you get back in range of your phone try hitting the call/end button on your bluetooth, this should help it re-connect without having to restart the program in your phone.
I have been running into this exact situation with my brand new Plantronics Voyager Pro HD, and I was about to return it to the store today, but then I saw this posting, so maybe it is NOT the BT headset afterall. Next time it happens I will give those instructions a shot...
Does making your phone "always discoverable" have any bearing on the battery life or anything? Thanks!

I'm seeing a pattern here. It appears from what I'm reading, that it does not matter what Bluetooth headset you have or what rom you're running, it's happening to a few people. Makes me think it's the phone or Gingerbread itself that's the issue. Maybe when ICS is ready to be a daily driver, it'll change.
In one respect it makes me feel better as my wife and I don't have to replace our headsets!!
I am not comfortable in leaving our phone "discoverable" as this opens our phones to possible unwanted access from unscrupulous people.
Both my brother and I are having problems with bad call audio quality. Anyone else having these problems or know a fix.
Running stock 4.0.2.
Tried different sim cards.
Both signals was full.
Was talking with my brother earlier today, and he said it sounded like I only used vowels, and that he have had the same complaints.

Had a few different iterations of this problem. My wife had a bad mic and it sounded like "she was under water" returned it, no problem. Now sometimes she sounds just a little weird with the new one. I chalk it up to the fact we live in the sticks of Rootstown OH. Are other people complaining of your problems or are you guys complaining of eachothers?
There are others that have complained as well, but I get the complains when I use my headset as well. Using a Bose QC15 with the iPhone mic/cable.
I have been having issues with echo (hearing back what I say on about a 1 second delay, which can be extremely distracting).
I don't know if it's the phone, my provider, or possibly that the other person has me on speakerphone, since it seems to be more noticable on business calls- or I could be noticing it on business calls more because I'm trying to concentrate and the echo can derail my train of thought.
It's a bit of a mystery...anyone else have this echo or know the cause/solution?
Bad Quality Call Galaxy Nexus (ME TOO)
Hi guys the last two weeks i'm experiencing a weird problem with my galaxy nexus ics 4.0.2. When i'm calling someone i'm hearing a "wind" noise ...it's like psssss....something when i'm trying my headset the "wind" noise became worst, note that i;m hearing the same noise when someone call me ...I TRIED A LOT OF THINGs ... I used other headsets ....i changed the sim card....i tried another provider (i'm on 3g) ...but this noise remain .... do you think it's a problem that it can be fixed with the upcoming 4.0.4 update...should i return my galaxy back and try another one, or reset the phone?
P.S. Thnks in advance, have you heard when are we going to get an update?(4.0.4)
yup. The sound quality is not that great. Some times, I can hear my voice being repeated when I am talking on the phone.
I'm having the same problem. People complain that they hear an echo when I talk.
try turning down the ear piece volume the mic can pick it up if its too loud
hello world,
its been a while since i've been on xda for forgive my lack of knowledge and bare with me:fingers-crossed:.
i've had a G2 since its release, rooted it to the 2.6.35.10-virtuous [email protected] #15(adroid version 2.3.3) and never looked back. This thing has been running flawlessly despite numerous drops from my hands(they dont build 'em like this anymore).
Last month I updated my radio to 26.13.04.19_M build and have been enjoying the batterylife.
Alas, just yesterday i've noticed that no one can hear me on the other end of a call, although i can hear them just fine. After tinkering with it i realized it was indeed my microphone and my ribbon was indeed torn. i replaced it myself promptly and still didnt work, took it apart again, and put it back together incase i forgot something. Everything else works fine so u can imagine my dismay(i can do everything but make phone calls )
The microphone still has issues and can barely hear me when im screaming at it, but even then ppl on the other end hear a faint voice.
so i ask u fellow "Vision" owners, what can i do to fix this?
(im also aware that 3 other members have experienced a similar dilema, 2 of which are recent, but no remedy has been brought about)
