My phone is giving me a problem in this area. When i talk on the phone (without using bluetooth or handsfree) people say i sound very far, or very soft. I've tried alot of different radios, and schaps diff versions. Including the latest 4.22ROM
Other then the rom itself i didn't install any other thing. But yet i'm still having this problem.
I've read in other topics that might be about setAcoustic.exe problem, but it doesnt' seem to solve my problem.
Anyone got any other suggestions? It's been causing me a big pain :
anyone know how to fix this??
update, it seems to be happening at random atm, some phone calls it's very clean, other it's too far..
hi, im having this same problem on my 8525. sometimes people can hear me and sometimes people can't hear me at all. any one else have this problem?
there was an old thread on this, search setAcoustic and you'll find it. if that fails , then i guess you can join me to wait for another solution
on the side note, bluetooth works nicely and i don't get any voice distortion or volume too soft.
Update:
So far things seems to be better atm, but it still happens. Sometimes while talking halfway, my signal can get very bad.. does this have to do with radio?
hey guys .... this is my first post here and i too am facing the exact same problem.... any solutuins? please HELP! (sorry for the caps)

Here's something to try the next time someone complains you sound far away/too soft: Switch over to your bluetooth handsfree without moving the phone. If you start sounding better then, I would guess that your built-in mic isn't working properly. You'd never know especially since you got it from eBay
Signal strength shouldn't matter too much, unless you start getting a marginal signal (say, one bar), and if that happens, try moving your head about (with your phone) - that should help the signal a little.

haha yeah, recently it seems to be working though, a few times people called me and said can't hear me but i called them back and it worked.
well just an update, nothing seems to be working for me.
Flashing to the latest schap's rom = not working
flasing to other radio versions = not working
Changing to non 3G network, same problem
i'm beginning to be convinced that it might be my phone hardware that's screwed up.
now i'm flashing back to original official dopod rom. see if that fixes things.
Update: While installing my officail dopod rom, i realize that the officail ones install alot more stuff into my Dopod.
Is this normal/ as per compared to schap's roms?
this is the 1st time i'm installing a WM6 official rom, does it make any diff? Everytime you reinstall a rom = kinda like format drive C and reinstalling windows right?
If startup animation is enabled, and set acoustic parameter is not ran. You will have low volume issue. It is Rom/WM related, not necessarily a hardware problem. My Rom ahs startup animation disabled, acoustic parameter is properly set.
Second that, I highly recommend u all try k's 1.30b rom!
how do you make sure acoustic parameter is properly set?
bump.. any one figure this out yet? im tired of texting i just want to talk on my phone hahah. ive come to the point that im gonna buy a razr.
hi all, just another update.
things was working very well for a long while while using K's rom, but now it's starting to happen again while i'm on k's rom.
setAcoustic Param is done (i read in K's rom it's set properly)
anyone got any other suggestions?
update: I've been reflashing a few diff roms, apparently all of them have the same problem, including K's one which i see setAcoustic running at 1st run.
I really have no clue why my voice is too soft. Now i'm flashing the official HTC one, hopefully it works...
anyone got any new info on this? i'm still having the same problem
if it is an hardware issue, is there anyway to figure if it is an hardware issue? or how do i open my phone?
just another update.
Now my voice fades in and out.. it's literally mood swings.. sometimes sounds good, other times sounds bad..
but i'm resorting to use wireless for now. it seems that wireless is more stable. there was 1 time which i was trying to talk on the phone's mic but the other party couldn't hear me, so i switched to wireless immediate on the same call and the other party could hear me immediately.
I've changed countless of roms already, the problem is still there regardless of what rom, official ones from HTC or others cooked in here, (schaps, k's, and many others) i can only assume that my mic is broken....
this i'm in malaysia and this is a orange phone.. i wonder if i can get any warrenty here at all.. or someone that knows how to repair this phone..
Hopefully this will be my last update
I've sent my phone for repairs. hardware wise, they say they fixed it. After that, my volume is pretty stable.
There are once or twice that my voice still went out, however, i found out that by disabling WOW HD Settings, it solved my problem too.
So far, i'm happy with my hermes
When i plug in my headphones, they don't work. I just plug them in and whatever sound comes out, comes from the loudspeaker. Is there some hardware issue here or configuration? Im thinking hardware issue is very unlikely as I just got the phone yesterday? Please help.
can any1 help me with this????

write to HTC so they get more fan mail, seems it's happening a lot :/ google gives more people with LEDs/headphones problem :/
I had the same issue, after much searching on google I found its a common problem and there's an app called toggle headset that will resolve this. Last time I checked it wasn't in the Marketplace, a quick search on google should lead you to it.
If you have any trouble finding it, let me know and I'll dig out the link for it when I get home.
One word of warning, its unsigned, but it works like a charm for me with no untoward side effects.
Florida.
Could you sned me the link please? I couldnt find it.
Try google and toggle headset+android. Bet you find it then.
Here's the link to the projects site, you should be able to download it from there -

I had the exact same problem and a simple reboot fixed it for me. No problems since. I wrote about it here

I just got a new phone today. Hope this one doesn't pack in too
Toggle Headset did it, but it's still annoying to have to toggle stuff like that....also, any similar toggles for LED's?

Woah... it sure worked to use that widget... then it IS a software problem.
Let's see if I can deduce something from what I have been reading and my own experience so far:
1. The first couple of days I had the HTC Hero the device automatically switched from internal speaker to headphones when I put those in.
2. After a while the device no longer recognised when using headphones.
3. Then I started to listen in the headphones while pulling the plug in and out of the socket. I DID hear clicks which told me that there wasn't anything loose to the contacts.
4. Then I read that others had the very same problem and someone suggested that a hardware reset maybe would fix it. I wasn't prepared to go that path just yet though. Then something happened that more or less forced me to do that hardcore reset anyway. That didn't fix it.
5. Enter "Toggle Headphones". It works.
From this my first thought was that it might have been a hardware fault and a return was necessary. Then I began to read about others having the same problem. A hardware fault affecting lots of users in the first week the phone had been out in the wild? I am not saying it could not happen but it is very unlikely though. But then again a hardware reset should have fixed it right? It didn't. The date and time the phones gets from the network would have been reset too, but since the phone immediatly gets the right time and date as soon as it is powered on from a hardware reset makes it dificult to test (I know we can turn off that feature).
As it is now I think something is wrong with the time and date thingy. And it is a software problem.
Scratch the time and date stuff. I just tried to manually change the time and date back to the day I first got this device and it didn't work either.
Hello All,
I've just got a quick question to see if anyone else has experienced this or if anyone's got any suggestions on what to try.
I've recently noticed bad sound quality on my Hero's ear piece. When people talk it sounds somewhat distorted. Everyone says they can hear me fine, but when they talk it sounds off to me. I've been playing with Villian Rom since's he's been releasing it, but I don't think it's a rom issue because I've gone back to an earlier ROM and same thing. I've also tried the radio before the current one to see and still the same thing. Any suggestions? maybe try and even earlier radio? or could that damage my phone in any way.
Thanks and advance,
AZ
Alright, so I recently decided to upgrade my AT&T HTC ONE X+'s firmware to the latest 1.19.502.1 update. Ever since I got this phone, I've never really been 100% happy with it, so as soon as I saw an official update being rolled out I jumped at the chance! I re-flashed the original recovery, re-locked the bootloader and ran the HTC RUU pc executable, effectively putting my phone in a 100% stock state and fully updated.
So far I can say that the phone experiences less general app crashes than before. The Bluetooth Call audio quality issue is 100% fixed. It would also seem like the Google contacts syncing issue is gone too. AT&T Address Book app now works (I don't like it, I don't actively use it, but at least now it's a functioning app). And Power management & Battery life seemed to have improved ever so slightly.
On the other hand, the phone does seem a bit slower (apps take longer to load, some phone functions take a little bit longer to react, stuff like that). The distorted streaming via Bluetooth (A2DP) bug (not the same issue as the call audio) is still un-addressed. I've always experienced random Bluetooth connection interruptions, and with the update this hasn't changed. Another thing I was hopeful they would fix with the update and they didn't is the Automatic Time Zone option in the Date & Time settings menu (It will often not recognize my time zone - GMT -4:00 - forcing me to set it manually... no big deal, but still a bug none the less). There were no GUI/UI changes or improvements whatsoever. Also, I like to use Nova Launcher Prime, and for whatever reason I've found myself pressing the "back" button to exit some apps and it would return me to the Sense home instead of the Nova Launcher home (which is set as my default launcher). That last one is no big deal, but thought I should mention it just in case.
What about you guys? What has been your experience with it? Did you update OTA or through the RUU? Share your experiences here!
the only thing i needed from the update was fixing BT A2DP audio. Like you said, it is still broken. Highly disappointed. Hopefully a ROM will fix it soon.
The update broke a bunch of apps for me. Chrome, Google Search, and Google Drive no longer work, they crash on startup.
Other people have similar complaints, here: forums.att.com/t5/Android-Discussion-and-Support/HTC-One-X-update/td-p/3469653
This is a stock phone. So far the phone is pretty unusable without those apps.
Really annoying. AT&T hasn't said anything about it yet. Maybe I should contact HTC directly?

You can try to contact HTC directly, but from what I've read around in the forums, they aren't much help. Allow me to suggest you try running the RUU on your phone (you can download it from http://www.htc.com/us/support/news.aspx?p_id=529&p_name=htc-one-x-plus-att ). It'll fully wipe it, so make a backup of all your important stuff (contacts if they aren't cloud synced, pictures, Angry Birds scores, etc) and then run the RUU. After the initial setup, re-download/install all your main apps and see how that goes. If you do get to do this, please post here if there was a difference in your phone's behavior. (Hope that helps)
I really honestly haven't had any issues with my phone since the OTA update... I still lag on playing a simple 2D game Drag Racing" but runs butter smooth when playing 3D games.. WTH?.. Really annoying to me... but then again, it lags even when I'm using my Nexus 7, yet runs lag-free and smooth on my Pantech Burst? Explain that one.. lol..
But all in all I've noticed a lot of small enhancements with the update. Now if they can just fix the game play of Drag Racing app.. lol..
I haven't noticed anything significant either way. If I didn't do the update myself, I don't think I would know there had been one. I do have to say that I never experienced problems playing music over BT, and I use it in my car, at home, and with BT earbuds. Maybe it's because I'm using PowerAmp.

The problem is still there with poweramp. It is a bitpool setting for connection between the phone and BT speaker devices. Some people just don't hear it even though it is there. I have a few friends who are now on JB thanks to recent updates and they have the same issues but they don't seem to hear it. I can hear it plainly though. One of them I could get to hear it but he doesn't care and thinks it sounds good enough for him.

Well, I haven't tried that particular game, but try this and let me know if it works for you. Go to Settings\Developer Options\Advanced\Force GPU Rendering, and turn it on.
Disappointing feedback. I work from home and have a Plantronics Savi 700 series headset. My HOX+ is connected to the Savi via Bluetooth, and if I make/receive a call on my HOX+ the call skips/distorts for the first 5 seconds or so before stabilising. Is that a known issue?
EDIT: to clarify, I am not using the headset when making/receiving the call in my example.. it's merely just connected via Bluetooth at the time I use my cell phone.

That hasn't been my experience receiving calls (although making them, the first ring does sound louder and coarser than the rest) but there have been some posts here on the forum from people describing a similar issue (since way before the update). Apparently it's either an inconsistent issue, a bug that only affected a few handsets, or an accessory hardware specific issue (eg. compatibility issue with specific bluetooth devices).

When u say BT audio A2DP that to ke means audio controls over BT. Well this has always worked from the start for me on stock and now custom roms. Now if I use a "wired" headset then no, audio controls do not work. All I can do is deal with phone calls and play/pause music. Cannot turn volume up or down or change tracks while using a wired headset. This from my understanding is a "hardware" issue. Now as far as actual BT is concerned, every aspect has worked perfect for me since Steve007 has fixed it for us. Also it has been claimed the new ATT update fixes this BT audio quality issue to an even higher degree than what Steve did so ultimate BT fix now on new ATT update.
So what is the BT audio problem now still not working?

What you're referring to are Media and Call control over bluetooth (First part of your statement) and Bluetooth Call Audio specifically (second part of your statement. This is what Steve007's fix addresses and the new update fixes). The bug badtlc and I mentioned is specifically when streaming Music or Video Audio through bluetooth (basically any type or audio that isn't phone call related). The audio streams just fine, but with a nasty distortion in the high frequencies. Many people just don't seem to mind the distorted sound because they just don't seem to identify it. If you compare the Bluetooth audio quality vs the direct audio quality (like with an Aux cable) you will hear a noticeable difference.
bluetooth volume level issue after upgrade
I've been having the issue of too low volume on bluetooth calls in my car since the upgrade to 1.19.502.1 I used the RUU from HTC site to do the upgrade and reinstalled everything. I have to literally turn up the bluetooth volume all the way up in my car and the people on the other end complain that I'm not loud enough. Did anyone else notice anything like this?
The first time I did the OTA on a stock, locked, not rooted HOX+ I noticed some improvments, I'm not really sure might have been placebo effect, but it did break my Wi-Fi. It would stay stuck on "Turning on Wi-Fi" the slider would be slid to the on side, but say off and be grey and unaccessable. Well I had to get it replaced under warranty, the headset speaker was dead too but that happened before the update, and it came with 1.15 and I want to know how common of a problem my experience was I know of at least a couple people who have had the same thing and I'm not sure I want to try the update again on this one and have to go through replacing it again.
i dont see any updated
i am using ATT HTC onex+ on pay as you go service, my phone never saw any updates, tried to change date as many have suggested, tried *#*#checkin#*#*, tried to look up for update manually from settings, but none seem to work, my phone is in stock condition with no root/unlock etc.
any ideas?

The official updates from HTC never wipe anything from the device. They just UpDate the OS. There might brake an app and very rarely, but that's just when changing the SW version, due to app incompatibility with the new OS vers. That's just my experience with HTC over the last few years and the last few devices.
Best of luck.

Hello, I just want to know if I'm the only one experiencing this issue.
So, my audio issue started 2 system updates ago.
All of a sudden, after changing my audio thing... The one on Settings>Sounds>Huawei Histen Sound Effects and set it to the earbuds that came with the phone, Spotify did awesome. I am so accustomed to using earbuds so I don't distract other people with my choice of music. But as I got home from work and decided to play thru loudspeaker, it doesn't work anymore. Sometimes it would take 5 solid minutes to have it work and some other time it didn't play at all, no matter how much I wait. I have no problems during phone calls though which is weird. Has anyone tried troubleshooting this particular issue with the phone? If so, please help. Thank you so much.
I have the same problem
