When listening to my voice mails on Google Voice I have to turn the phone volume all the way up and I still have a hard time hearing my messages. I was hoping the latest update would fix it, but to no avail...
Is anyone else having this issue?
BTW I'm running CM6 if that makes a difference.
i've always noticed that with gvoice, on any rom
So no fix for it out there that anyone is aware of?
This certainly is a strange issue indeed. Prior to the latest update, GV worked fine for me but now I can't hear anything just like you OP. Perhaps they broke something?

Sorry if this has already been discussed. I searched for the same issue but didn't come up with anything, and if it has, can somebody post a link to the thread/threads with the same issue?
I'm rooted and installed the stock Gingerbread 2.3.4, build 4.06.605.3, and the first thing I noticed is that when I'm on a call on my Jawbone Icon and I get a text message while on a call, the call gets transfered to the handset. I've tried everything possible with unpairing/pairing/rebooting/settings, but every single time it disconnects the call from the Icon and transfers it to the handset once a text notification comes through.
I found this on the HTC forums about the Dinc2, (community.htc.com/na/htc-forums/f/124/t/12762.aspx), and it appears to me to be a known Gingerbread issue that many other people are having and not just a hardware issue with a certain phone or certain BT earpiece.
Does anybody else know of this, have this same issue, and if there has been a fix or patch for it yet? I'm about ready to go back to a Froyo ROM or try a Gingerbread one where it works if I can find one I like, but for some goofy reason and after all the futzing around I've done with different ROMS, I always seem to go back to the stock one with Sense UI.
Can anybody help me out here? Thanks a ton!!

Well i just tested on mine. I called my buddy and then had my wife text me wile i was talking and it did not swith to the handset it stayed connected to my jabra earpice. Not sure what could cause this, never really use my earpice that much but it seemed to work correctly for me.

Hmmmmm... I'm not using the GingerTiny kernel, just the htc 2.6.35.13-g55a06e5 kernel. What could be the difference...
Not sure, im not familiar with bluetooth or if it has anything to do with the kernel.
Interesting, I've heard several others mention this problem recently and another who added the same thing happens when getting a text while having a call on speakerphone. Drumznut, do you have the 2.15.10.07.07 radio? If so, it'd be interesting to see what would happen with the GingerTiny kernel since that combo is working for cmlusco.
@cmlusco, can you replicate it with the call on speakerphone + receiving a text scenario?

Yes I'm on the 2.15.10.07.07 radio. My phone is listed as:
Android Version - 2.3.4
Baseband Version - 2.15.10.07.07
Kernel Version - 2.6.35.13-g55a06e5 [email protected] #1
Build Number - 4.06.605.3 CL140944
Software Number - 4.06.605.3
Browser Version - WebKit/533.1
PRI Version - 1.28_002
PRL Version - 52011
ERI Version - 5
I'd give it a try if I knew where to get the GingerTiny Kernel. Anybody have a link to it or have any idea what else to try?

Interested to see how it goes.
Don't mean to be a pain but any new info on this? Quite a few people experiencing this it seems.
hi, i am not having this issue, but i also am using a different BT. I am using nills business sense3.0 v2.3 and kernel gingertiny 2.6.35.10 with the 7.07 radio. the bt phones are altec lansing backbeat 903 BT headset.
i had an idea, it may have something to do with the way the headset handles audio, as a test try setting your text ringtone to silent, and turn off the vibrate too just in case, now try replicating the problem and see if it still switches your audio to the handset. If this fixes the problem then it has got to do with the way your headset deals with notifications as a posed to regular audio. unfortunately i have no idea how to fix this problem other than not setting the notification, and i am sure that is not an acceptable solution, on the other hand you may only have to change a setting in your headset.
well anyway that just popped into my head when i was reading your post, i may be way off base but i figure it worth a try, and hopefully it may be helpful.

Thanks for the suggestion and sorry I didn't get to the testing sooner...
Here's what I've found:
I performed all the same tests with the stock htc kernel and with the Gingertiny kernel and had the exact same results.
I use the apps SMS Popup and Missed Reminders, so the first thing I did was uninstall both those apps and run some tests.
Receiving a text message while on my bluetooth still transferred my call to the handset.
Setting the text vibration to off but leaving on sound notification still transferred my bluetooth call to the handset.
Setting the text notification sound off but leaving the vibrate on still didn't matter and it still did the same thing.
Setting the text sound off and the vibrate off too did the trick and there was no transferring of the bluetooth call to the handset when I received a text message.
I then reinstalled SMS Popup, left the text sound and vibrate off and had no problem.
I then installed NotifyMyWay to see if that app's vibrate notification would work and not transfer the bluetooth call to the handset and it worked fine with "no" call transferred to the handset when I received a text message.
So yeah, it's something with how the Sense UI and the handset are interpreting the notification of the incoming text message while on a bluetooth call. I can live without a text sound notification and will have to live with turning the sound notification on and off if and when I have to but I would like to see a patch out to correct this issue. Will that happen?? Good question.
Let me know if anybody has any suggestions or other tests to try. Thanks!!
I am glad i was able to help .
This is ridiculous... I've had this problem for over a year on multiple phones. I'm surprised I'm still using it. I just don't even listen to my vm anymore.
Anyone know what is causing the low volume bug? Any known fixes? I get low volume on both the ear-piece and on speakerphone. I've tried turning up all my volume levels and it is still awful. Any ideas?

Nobody?? Is anyone else having this problem?
Seems to be a Google app issue...I had this same problem on roms and stock for ICS but didn't see it on GB. What are you running on your phone,setup-wise?

Still running an EL29 rom.
Yeah I'm pretty sure its the app, has nothing to do with the phone or setup.

I have the same issue with the Sprint Visual Voicemail app. Most voicemails are recorded so low that you cannot hear them (with the app). I've gotten into the habit of just calling voicemail to listen to the message instead.
This JUST started happening to me as well.
I've been running Gvoice on my androids since my very first HTC G1, and never experienced this issue until this week.
The app was working fine, voicemail playback was loud as the rest of the phone, speaker or headset.
Then later on in the day I play another one back, and it sounds like olden times, when in the silence during a telephone call you could occasionally hear AM Radio being picked up by the phone wires, very faintly.
I de-registered my phone with g-voice, cleared app data and uninstalled gvoice app, rebooted. Re-installed gvoice app, re-registered phone with gvoice, re-forwarded calls, and set the app back up, no luck.
This is horrible. I actually listened to voicemails on my phone before. I don't want to go back to using ATT's crappy default voicemail system.
Any thoughts on how to fix this? If it's an app setting, how did it "all of a sudden" fail?

Try "reducing" the sound below the mid-level
I am on AOKP milestone 6 and noticed the same low volume in Skype, Google Voice (voicemail), and Sprint Voicemail. After some tinkering I noticed that reducing the volume to a little below mid level actually brings back the sound. I am not sure if this is something specific to my phone, but you might want to try the same if you are experiencing this issue.

thanks for this! this worked for me, but I was wondering if anyone else was able to figure out why this was happening. Adjusting volume is easy enough, just a little annoying.
Google just needs to update the app. Happens to me too on aokp and aosp jb.

I talk into the microphone normal, but I've had reports by people that during a phone call they can't hear me unless I scream.
The exact same thing happens when I use the Google voice-to-text thing on MSGs. I literally have to scream for it to pick up my voice.
I'm on Sprint, and I doubt it's a carrier problem because my iPhone never did this. Any ideas?
Hello? Does anyone have any suggestions?
I am having an issue where, when I start voice recognition (Google Search, Voice Typing, Utter!, AutoVoice, doesn't matter), the little startup "start speaking" chime plays incorrectly (it sounds like it gets cut in the middle) or doesn't play at all, as well as the end voice recognition sound playing incorrectly. The only time it plays correctly is the first time after the phone rebooted, then very rarely after that. When it first started happening, I was running a ROM that was a combination of PA and CM. However I switched to the RootBox ROM a few days ago in hopes that it would be corrected, but sadly not. This has lead me to believe that maybe either PA or CM have a bug with regards to this issue, but I'm not sure. I haven't been able to find anyone else with this issue either here or on Google, hopefully someone has heard of this before, though. Any help is greatly appreciated!
EDIT: Did a quick record of my phone, attached it to this post (XDA doesn't support uploading audio files so I had to zip it).
As you can see, the first start up chime was perfect, but the end voice recognition sound sounds cut off in the middle. You can also hear multiple times when all you hear is the end recognition sound - this is where the start up chime didn't play at all.
Ok I hate bumping threads but it's been a week and no-one has even said if they're experiencing anything similar on an AOSP ROM. I do have new information, though - I did a clean flash to a fresh CleanRom, and the voice search chime played as it is supposed to. Did a clean install back to RootBox, and the sound glitch returned. So, it's definitely not a problem with the phone itself.
hangouts dialer problems mic not working end call speaker not working
Hi,
I have a couple android phones and hangouts dialer works just fine on my rooted htc evo 3d. The galaxy s3 sprint phone has problems with hangouts dialer that maybe some one can help me with.
The microphone is not working again. Last time I did an update it stopped working so I uninstalled and reinstalled and it started working again. Today it will not work again and I tried reinstalling the app but it did not work.
The speakerphone and end call button will not work on the galaxy s3 sprint phone. when I select these items it takes me back to the main dialer page showing an ongoing call. I can not hang up and I have to shutdown the phone to end call. If I have bluetooth connected these end call and speakerphone buttons will work though.
Does anyone know what the problem is with the galaxy s3 on hangouts dialer? Maybe I should just stick to HTC phones for now on?
Same problem here. Only fix so far is using a Touchwiz ROM. Lame. Hopefully someone fixes this. Stay vocal and talk to the devs. Ive been trying to sort this out all month. No one is of much help, honestly.
STAY VOCAL.

on the latest CM11 and 12.1 (unsupported) I found that it activates the microphone on the TOP of the phone, rather than at the bottom. Not sure how to swap it around. Had to go back to stock
