HTC Droid Eris :: No Audio Through Earpiece
Jul 22, 2010
I literally just got a refurb eris today and when I went to make a phone call I could hear nothing through the earpiece and the person on the other end couldn't hear anything I said. This seems to be a version of the silent-call bug but this time I can hold a conversation with speakerphone and they can hear me, but when it's just through the earpiece like normal both parties get silence. Since this is a fresh refurb could someone with the OTA post their software data so I could compare it to what I have, I think I found one earlier while screwing around and it looked like it matched but now I want to double check.

I currently have code that reads a recording in from the devices mic using the AudioRecord class and then playing it back out using the AudioTrack class.My problem is that when I play it out it plays vis the speaker phone.I want it to play out via the ear piece on the device.Here is my code:public class LoopProg extends Activity {
boolean isRecording; //currently not used
AudioManager am;
int count = 0;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
am = (AudioManager) getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
am.setMicrophoneMute(true);
while(count <= 1000000){
Record record = new Record();
record.run();
count ++;
Log.d("COUNT", "Count is : " + count);
public class Record extends Thread
{ static final int bufferSize = 200000;
final short[] buffer = new short[bufferSize];
short[] readBuffer = new short[bufferSize];
public void run() {
isRecording = true;
android.os.Process.setThreadPriority
(android.os.Process.THREAD_PRIORITY_URGENT_AUDIO);
int buffersize = AudioRecord.getMinBufferSize(11025,
AudioFormat.CHANNEL_CONFIGURATION_MONO,
AudioFormat.ENCODING_PCM_16BIT);
AudioRecord arec = new AudioRecord(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.MIC,
11025,
AudioFormat.CHANNEL_CONFIGURATION_MONO,
AudioFormat.ENCODING_PCM_16BIT,
buffersize);
AudioTrack atrack = new AudioTrack(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC,
11025,
AudioFormat.CHANNEL_CONFIGURATION_MONO,
AudioFormat.ENCODING_PCM_16BIT,
buffersize,
AudioTrack.MODE_STREAM);
am.setRouting(AudioManager.MODE_NORMAL,1,
AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
int ok = am.getRouting(AudioManager.ROUTE_EARPIECE);
Log.d("ROUTING", "getRouting = " + ok);
setVolumeControlStream(AudioManager.STREAM_VOICE_CALL);
//am.setSpeakerphoneOn(true);
Log.d("SPEAKERPHONE", "Is speakerphone on? : " + am.isSpeakerphoneOn());
am.setSpeakerphoneOn(false);
Log.d("SPEAKERPHONE", "Is speakerphone on? : " + am.isSpeakerphoneOn());
atrack.setPlaybackRate(11025);
byte[] buffer = new byte[buffersize];
arec.startRecording();
atrack.play();
while(isRecording) {
arec.read(buffer, 0, buffersize);
atrack.write(buffer, 0, buffer.length);
arec.stop();
atrack.stop();
isRecording = false;
As you can see if the code I have tried using the AudioManager class and its methods including the deprecated setRouting method and nothing works, the setSpeatPoneOn method seems to have no effect at all, neither does the routing method.Has anyone got any ideas on how to get it to play via the earpiece instead of the spaker phone?

How is Bluetooth audio quality with your Evo? I'm using a Jabra Extreme earpiece and am experiencing poor audio quality. One person with whom I was speaking said that I sounded like I was running or was in a windy location (I was calling from a quiet hotel room). On my end there was noticeable static. As a test, I hung up and paired the Jabra with my Blackberry 8830, and the person with whom I was speaking said that I sounded a little distant, but otherwise clear. On my end, the audio quality was good.

I'm trying to change the audio path to earpiece from speakerphone, and I cannot get it to work on the G1: the audio always goes through the speakerphone. Here's the code snippet: /************************/ private AudioManager am; am.setRouting(am.MODE_NORMAL, am.ROUTE_EARPIECE, am.ROUTE_ALL); /************************/ I took logs for this issue and compared them to logs from the calling app when I turn off the speakerphone there and they look similar: (from calling app) D/AudioFlinger( 35): setRouting 2 1 -1, tid 57, calling tid 58 E/AudioFlinger( 35): mA2dpDisableCount is already zero I/AudioHardwareMSM72XX( 35): Routing audio to Handset D/HTC Acoustic( 35): msm72xx_enable_audpp: 0x0000 (from my app) D/AudioFlinger(35): setRouting 0 1 -1, tid 54, calling tid 58 I/AudioHardwareMSM72XX(35): Routing audio to Handset D/HTC Acoustic( 35): msm72xx_enable_audpp: 0x0000 The main difference here is that I'm trying to change the audio path for MODE_NORMAL, while the calling app is changing the audio path for MODE_IN_CALL.

So I've noticed some background hiss during voice calls on my Eris. I thought the update would fix it, but so far it hasn't done a thing.
Has anyone had this happen with their phone? I'm thinking of just exchanging it for a new one...

We have tried everything to get a bluetooth earpiece to work with the HTC Droid. The only thing that works is answering a call and the quality is questionable.
You cannot use voice dialing at all. Last call redial doesn't work. Nothing that we have come to take for granted on cell phones for years works. If a 3 year old Motorola flip can do it, it can't be that hard.
Anyone have any idea if this is going to get fixed in the next release? I didn't find it even described in the release for December 11th.

just started using the Pandora music app, but my kids in the back seat could not hear it. so I stopped by Walgreens and picked up the "JUPITOR JACK". you can't miss it cause it has the big red ad: "AS SEEN ON TV". it works well enough, but I had to tweak my car audio system to make it decent. whatever the droid plays comes out on the car radio, it's better then my old belkin FM transmitter.

I sincerely hope that this audio bug isn't present. Everyone keeps saying that the OTA is exactly like v3. I hope this isn't the case. I had my audio go silent on me 7 times in one day with v3

Eris with 2.1 I purchased Audio Manager, but even when maxed out there's less volume than on other cellphones we have. This is true with all audio functions, including Bluetooth. Is there another way, or a better tool, that will improve audio volume.

I put a vanilla ROM on my phone long ago and haven't touched HTC sense since. But, I heard something about a recent OTA update that fixes the audio bug...is that true?

I really like my Eris but the volume level is really bothering me. I can plug my IPod touch (with volume about 90%) into my car using the headphone jack and setting my car volume to a little less than half way is plenty loud. Playing the same audio tracks through the headphone jack of my Eris plugged in the exact same way with the volume cranked all the way up and I have to literally turn the stereo volume to the max to get the same level.

Anyone else struggling with the thump of a kick drum distorting through external speakers regardless of volume? And I swear I hear it distorting through my bluetooth headphones too.Every time a heavy kick drum comes it I hear a sound that's reminiscent of a blown speaker cone. A sort of muffled flapping. It's not the speakers or the cable. It's the phone. Tested in multiple places. Had the issue with 1.5, and now still having it with 2.1.

Anyone else have this problem? about 1 out of 4 calls the people on the other end (whether they call me or i call them) can hear me but i can't hear them. just happened again, though this time i tried 5 times in a row to make a call and it apparently went through but i had no audio. finally on the 6th try i could hear. also, i received a call but the phone never rung.
on an unrelated note i just had to resign into google. and a couple of forced close problems. hoping this isn't 2.1 related. though i had the audio problem before.

So since the recent update, I noticed that the call audio quality is MUCH better than it was before. Everything sounds more clear and detailed than it used to, and even my girlfriend said that she can hear me more clearly than before. I believe improved audio was on the list of things addressed by the update.

Haven't been around these parts in awhile, but news of the update brought me back. I have a question about an issue I've had since day 1, but always just kind of accepted. When I listen with headphones to podcasts, music, etc. I get weird signal noise. It's most noticeable when listening to podcasts/talk as there is lots of room to hear the noise on the line. It's like low little hums, "chirps," not totally sure how to describe it. Just not a clean, clear silence when there should be silence. I've used different headphones, definitely not anything there. I'm wondering if this is a known issue, a problem with some handsets, fixable, etc.?

I have had Audio Manager installed for a while now and every few days the settings move on me. Specifically the system volume. I like keeping it at 2, and it will default back to 7.
Not a huge deal, but it's annoying. I'm wondering what is causing it to change. Maybe an app? Anyone with audio manager experience this?

I only get static if i try and use the phone but if i put it on speaker it works fine. what i wanna know is if this has happened to anybody else since i didn't find anything through search, and if so what did you do. is something i can fix with settings. i already tried a battery pull and turning it on and off. i just got the phone today and already going to have to return for another tomorrow if no fix.

I havent been able to try this yet and i was just wondering if anyone else has. If you have the phone connected to a handsfree bluetooth system in a car and are also using the phone to play music via an aux input through the headphone jack will they both work? I am just wondering if the bluetooth connectivity will override the fact that you have something plugged into the headphone jack. I will be able to try this in a couple weeks when i get my car back, but wasjust curious if anyone else already has tried it.

My Plantronics BT earpiece has been working flawlessly the last several years but all of the sudden I have been having issues with it when used with the Droid. What is the BT earpiece of choice that seems to work well with the Droid? For some reason, people say they couldn't hear me (as if the BT muted itself out on its on); Its been disconnecting itself from the phone but it still shows its connected in the Notification window. Today it kept going from BT to phone and vice versa in the middle of a call! I was like the what in the world is going on! LOL! It has a good charge so I know thats not the issue. Maybe its time for a new BT earpiece! What should I consider?

When using Car Home mode - whether in the dash mount cradle or not - all navigation directions are coming through the earpiece speaker (above the word "Motorola" on the front) instead of the louder speaker-phone speaker (on the back). Totally useless.
I have Bluetooth turned off, so that shouldn't be the problem. Turning up the volume only increases the earpiece volume, it doesn't activate the other speaker. Anyone know how to fix this?

Anyone else noticing an audible buzz when listening to someone talk when on a phone call? Sounds eerily familiar to a blown speaker. Scary since I noticed it as soon as I got it..... I believe my phone was a return that they sold to me. It seemed to have come with some downloaded apps already (though I'm not sure) and the box was a little worn looking (no plastic around the literature either)
Boo hiss! it'll be 48 hours with the phone on Monday, and I'm getting a new one already

Is there a way to change when I get a low battery warning message? Can I make it at 5 % not the default? Also, can I turn off the audio notification for the low battery warning?
I an very new to the Eris, so I apologize if this is a simple change that I just haven't found yet.

I rooted my phone a week or so ago and love it 100 times more than before. However, I use it daily to listen to audio books. Before rooting when I had my earpiece in - if I received a message or call then sound came only through the earpiece. Now it comes through the earpiece and the external speaker on the phone. Suggestions on how to stop it?

Last night, I updated my Droid to 2.2 (Verizon official) with the instructions here. Worked perfectly, and my phone hasn't had battery or slowness issues at all.
BUT, I tried making a call this morning, and all of a sudden my earpiece is silent! Plugging in headphones work, the speakerphone works so my phone is capable of making calls.
I tried to plug/unplug my headphones a few times, thinking that it was the phone thinking there were still headphones plugged in and that didn't work.
I then restarted my phone at least 6 times, including pulling the battery. Nothing thru the earpiece.
Out of frustration, I did a hard factory reset. Still no sound from the earpiece!
Do you guys think the 2.2 update killed my earpiece, or is it a coincidence?
