I have a TP2 unbranded phone I bought of off ebay when it first came out. I have had no problems with it till two days ago. Now when I use Microsoft Voice commands I have to speak really loud into the mic for it to hear me or when I call someone I have to speak really loud before they hear me because my normal voice isn't being picked up by the phone. Its also the same if I use speakerphone. I was wondering if the audiopara3 file can be changed to fix this or if there was a registry hack or cab file to increase mic sensitivity. I have wrote other threads regarding this but not much help. So now I am offering 45 dollars to whoever fixes my problem.
Thanks.
Install this app and reboot
This should fix your prob
what app my phone has no mic right now.
try a hard reset ...
or try a different rom ...
Could be just the mic went bad
Have you tried toggling the auto volume control? (settings, all settings, system, auto volume control)

Is there a way of lowering the speaker volume?
When I am on a call, despite having the volume set to the minimum, it is still too loud.
Anything I can do?
Same for me here. If anyone knows a way please let us know
Have you guys actually lowered the phone volume to minimum, or the PDA volume by mistake, there are two sliders, if I set the phone to minimum you cannot hear a thing! - or when answering a call are you holding the answer button too long causing the phone to use Speaker phone volume - Mike
My Orbit is the same,
Same Problem here.
I set the speaker volume while talking to minimum and it stays too loud.
Hi!
I have the same problem.... unfortunately it can not be solve, with the volume level setting..
I have the HTC P3300 and have no problem with the volume however would love to increase it a bit louder. Is there a tweak for this?
Thanks,
In call speaker volume is to loud also
I've got the same problem. Eventhough I set call volume to minimum the speaker is much to load. Any of you found a solution to this problem?
Same here....volume way to amplified
I have the same problem,
One minute my phone was fine - sounded great, 5 minutes later when I used it again the "In-Call" volume and "Speaker" volume are WAY to loud.
Anybody got a clue as to why this is happening and how to fix it, its driving me mad!
(I hope this is a software fault and not hardware)
Thanks,

Ok so the phone was still in warrenty. T-mobile sent an RMA bag (RM special delivery) for me to send the phone to their repairs:
http://www.sbe-ltd.co.uk/
I sent the phone and reported the problem as "in-call speaker distorted". The repair was made and completed the next day (yesterday) then sent back via special delivery so my phone should arrive back today.
I doubt SBE have fixed the problem. They most likely watched the phone turn on then sent it back. But we will see. If they have not fixed it I will be replacing the "in-call" speaker myself. I will post the guide here if it solves the problem.
MDa II "in-call" speaker FIXED
SBE returned the phone and completed the repair. Im assuming all they did is replace the "in call" speaker. For those who cannot RMA the phone I suggest a search for MDA III internal speaker on the bay then follow the dissasembly guide and replace.
Hope this helps!
Volume still too loud
UPDATE
After the unit was RMA'd i realised that infact they had not fixed the problem. The ring and incall volume is still WAY to loud.
When I recieve a call i have the incall speaker (when you have the handset next to your head/ear) set to the lowest setting and the sound is almost defening, if i have it on the highest setting it distorts the speaker and is inaudiable.
This is a problem with the phones hardware or software and not the wrong settings. Can anyone please help, is their a registry setting for general volume settings that can be adjusted?
Thanks for your help,
Andy.
I had the same issue, but this was after i had tampered with the registry settings to increase the volume on the wired earphones. It is a fine balance! Suggest re-installing the OS to get back to deault settings if you have been in the registry
Has anyone come up with a working solution for the low speaker volume during phone calls on the Touch Pro2? Tried the Audiopara tweak, and lost ALL volume on the speaker, Tried changing settings with "HD Tweak", no effect. FWIW, my ringer volume is fine.
Seems like some folks get results, some don't. My hearing is lousy to start with, so I really need to find a working fix, or ditch the phone.
Use this cab and then reboot
It worked great for me

Makes the button beeps louder, but completely eliminates all phonecall audio!
Not only that, but deleting the cab didn't restore what little audio I had. Had to do a hard reset!!!
Yea .. I have been strugling with this also .. I have a t-mobile tp2
I updated to the new wwe 6.5
The Volume on the incall / ear speaker isnt loud enough for me
( I work const. And have bad hearing )
I have tried very trick in the book and have goten everything to be louder
but the ear volume LOL the speaker the announcements ect .. are good .. even was able to fix the ringer volume and voice command announcements.
Everything I try screws up the ear volume makes it too soft or to bassy
or just screws it up ..

Strange, I have it working great and imrpoved the volume a lot!
Perhaps is something related with your ROM
If uninstall not helped, which is strange also, then soft reset and if not hard reset will be the option...
Sorry to hear did not worked for you
I feel your pain, brother! I have 3 of these phones, and am about to give up and sell them because of this stupid problem. What really gets me is that I have seen this same very common complaint (low earpiece volume) with other HTC phones as well. I know of several that have been returned. Don't they pay attention to customer feedback? "Full volume" should be painfully loud, not barely audible. Such a shame to have this be the "deal breaker" for an otherwise great phone.
Some might say to try the SRS WOW HD program, don't do it. It causes lockups and the units don't come out of power down states.
Bump. Bump.

All three have the same issue? Cdma or gsm? My verizon tp2 has very adequate volume and I usually have to have it turned down a notch or two or it is painful to my ear. Same when using the loud speaker. I thought I saw a volume fix cab floating around, might be for specific cdma roms, not sure. I'm wondering if it is more of a gsm v. issue. I agree I have seen this with many diff htc phones, but I can also say I've seen/heard of it with nokia and also other makes. Sorry I have no help, just the comment.

I Need Help With Making My Ringers LOUD!!!!!! LOL and im on 6.5

I have too LOUD in-call volume from the phone.
Using the built-in volume rocker does NOTHING to the in-call voice volume.
The volume is so excruciatingly painful that I can keep my wired HTC hf set 10cm from my ears and still listen perfectly to the conversation.
Not very practical though.
Is there ANY working solution that makes the Volume controller actually control in-call voice volume during phone calls?
I'm running stock 6.5 ROM with no hacks and no audio related software installed.
Bump
Still hoping for an answer.
Anyone notice that the incall volume is too low? I noticed this when I was listening to Pandora in my car with the AUX input. A call comes in, I can barely hear the caller even with the incall volume at 100. I pump up the stereo to be able to hear, then the call ends, and I have Pandora blasting my ears off.
Tried apps, the service menu isnt the same as I've seen online in other posts, so frustrated......

Hey babokd,
Though this is my first post on XDA, I have been "trolling" quite a while and sucking up all the useful information I can. That said, this is the first time that I think I may have an answer. I hope this helps.
Bottom Line: If you have Google Voice installed, try uninstalling it and then make a call.
I will offer the troubleshooting I went through below so that anyone reading this can guage the validity of this and provide better commentary. I am not half as technically smart as the rest of the people here!
I have been having the same issue with my T-Mobile SGSII. I went through great lengths to figure it out. I noticed that on my phone the volume rocker works during calls to turn up and down when connected to auxillary and on speaker. However, the volume does not actually change.
I believe this issue stems with the KL1 update that I obtained through Samsung Kies. I reverted back to stock and the volume worked fine. I updated again to the KL1 update and reloaded all my apps, etc. Volume was broke again! (note: I did not install Google Voice when I reverted back to stock, so this could be an issue in the stock version as well).
As you suggested about the service menu... I am not sure if this is a KL1 issue, but on my T-Mobile variant of the SGSII (T989), the service codes that a lot of people are talking about do not work as well. It says "menu does not exist" after entering the codes.
In attempt to find a better answer for the T-Mobile variant, I updated to KL1 and installed all my apps one by one, but making a phone call after each app was installed. In my case, I found the culprit:
Google Voice
As opposed to other posts that I have seen saying Google Voice helps increase the call volume, I suggest that it does not. On the contrary, it makes the volume stick at low volume with no way to turn it up in speaker or auxillary. I uninstalled Google Voice and voila!, volume works again.
After all of this, I will still note that my SGSII volume is still not at the level I want during calls, but it is a whole lot more acceptable. Unfortunately, I can't use Google Voice for my calls now because I have it uninstalled just so I can make calls while driving.
I hope this was semi-insightful and helps you and others. At the very least, I hope someone else that is more tech-saavy chimes in!
Do any options help in the call settings like hearing aid or TTY? Seems like these might affect the volume output.
I was just on a call and the volume seemed to be max on the earpiece. Pressing the volume switch shows the increase and decrease as pressed but the output volume stayed at max. I made a second call and the problem went away. Not sure what the deal is, maybe related to the rom i am using (beastmod)
Are you running a custom rom or stock? Most custom roms I have run are too loud and I end up having the volume between half way which is nice to have wiggle room.
I am running.

Hi bigcletus and DensoYamaha41,
I am not sure if your response was to mine or the OP, but I will provide info in my case anyway.
I wish I had more time to post more information in my original response. In my case, I am only rooted and using the latest superuser. I have the stock ROM.
When I was troubleshooting this issue, I did go into settings to change hearing aid, etc., but that did not help. The only thing that helped was removing Google Voice.
It does seem to be an app incompatibility issue because when I end the call with Google Voice, the "hang up" sound played by the dialer app is really loud. When I turn the volume down and hang up, the volume of the "hang up" sound is really low. The actual in call volume does not change.
I do plan to run a custom rom someday, but I literally just got the Galaxy SII. I like to play with the original for a while before I change over.
If the OP has the same setup as me, I believe Google Voice is the culprit. For anyone out there reading this, do you have the the following: Google Voice installed on the T-Mo variant of SGSII and running rooted stock ROM with the KL1 update? If so, are you running into a volume issue as the OP stated?
Hello Guys,
im owning my Gnex for a couple of months now,
last week it suddenly stopped recording/transmitting my voice with speaker on.
So everytime i choose my speaker for calling the other one doesn't hear me.
I tried to disable/enable mic, everything i could try.. no luck or success.
I also noticed the video camera is no longer recording voice.
Tried different roms, kernels, radios... all the same effect.
Also took out the battery for hours.
It seems the microphone itself is okay, but i dont know whats happening there.
Logcat showed NO issues.. :| someone got an idea?
Greetings
I know this may seem like an asinine suggestion, but did you check your sound settings? I was worried myself when my camera was not recording voice nor making any shutter sounds, but then I noticed that my multimedia volume in the sound/volume submenu was muted.
i triple checked all of my settings, did wipes, restores...all the magic i got.
no way out of this ****... just asked amazon for a rma now.
Not what you'll want to hear, but I've returned a gn once due to a inop camcorder mic.
Download a sound recorder that allows for you choose your mic input source and you'll find out pretty quickly if you have a hardware problem.

Just realized my mic is not working when trying to do voice to text or record.
Hi guys, I did a search in this Arc forum for In ear Speaker problems and couldn't find anything, so I chose to start a new thread. Just know I DID try to find info for this phone but I only found a few other threads about different phones.
My in-ear speaker does not work in calls. It is extremely quiet, as if the volume is turned all the way down. Thing is, I try turning up the in-call volume during a call and it does nothing. But the weird thing is, I went into the service menu to test the hardware (using the *#*#7378423#*#* trick) and tested the in-ear speaker and it works fine! Loud and clear! But then immediately following that I'll try a call and still will hear practically nothing. Putting the call on speakerphone allows me to hear the other party, as well as putting in a headset, so I am stumped. Tried pulling the battery and have rebooted the phone many times and the problem is still persisting.
AND, on top of ALL of that, the damn thing was working just fine the other day. I switched to this phone last week and have been making calls successfully being able to hear the other party just fine. But suddenly today it's deciding to not work in a call. This is really weird.
Has anyone else had this problem? What else can I try to fix it? Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
EDIT: Blah a hard reset fixed it. Feel free to delete this post mods!
