[Q] Sound Fix without Root - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there any sound fix for the low speaker volume that does not require me to root the phone? I have only found one option that was supposed to work, but it didn't for me.
It is a telus banded desire, so is it likely that the update that is supposed to be released soon will fix this sound issue?
TIA

Same problem
I also have an un-rooted Desire and the speaker volume is too low, especially on speakerphone calls. I use Cricket Wireless and I have checked to make sure I am current on updates. I have tried numerous apps but none worked. Is there a fix for this?

How to increase the volume of phone

I am a new man in Desire, how can I increase the volume of phone ? I found the voice not clear when I pick up phone call
Besides the volume control on the left side of the phone I dont think it can go any higher.
Also, perhaps you were talking with an iphone - I noticed it always seems like their microphone is very silent, if you know what I mean

Backup and then try and hard reset your phone back to default factory settings as this could eradicate any bugs or issues with your stock ROM.
You could also read up on how to root the desire and then try flashing to a different Radio version as this could improve the reception of incoming/outgoing calls, GPS signal strength, Wi-Fi, battery life (possibly) etc.
For more information, click the links in my sig.
Note: by rooting your Desire and flashing to a different ROM/Radio version will void your warranty.

I think there have to be an app to enhance. The sound. My old Polaris was sounding way better and louder...

Now that the kernel sources are online, does somebody have a hack for increasing jack volume ?
data point: UK T-Mobile ROMs have very low max volume level. Installing the vanilla HTC ROM fixed this for me.
The only problem is that I want to keep sense UI, there is obviously something to modify on a rooted phone in order to get higher jack volume, one file with the limit written inside ?
I've heard about a volume hack but can't find any detail on it except the app with the same name on the market which cost £2.

sound feedback for the dialler?

can someone help?
i have the desire hd for some time, never really had an issue with it, totally love it
BUT
for some reason, there is no audio when using the dialler
not sure why, i've gone to audio settings on the phone and turned on the feedback (ie, audible touch tones), so not sure why this is till an issue
i'm using a stock standard desire hd, it hasnt been rooted or anything (its also from UK not vodafone au)
can anyone help me work out whats wrong?
no other issues, audio for other stuff is fine?
what could it be?
I've done a restart, i don't really want to restore to factory defaults unless there is no alternative, surely there is a way to troubleshoot first?
also, i have that latest firmware version (v2.2.1)
i did some more digging around
i can actually hear the dial tone, but its very faint, so it must be some volume thats not right, but when i went to the settings, there is all the volume levels at the top level at the moment.
after more googling, someone else had a problem like that, and they installed audio manager which gave the ability to access system volume, when i did that, i could see my system volume was very low, changed it to what i wanted and all is good
so if anyone has this type pf problem, thats what i did to sort myself out.

[Q] No Sound In Call

There is absolutely no sound when I make a call or receive a call on my Evo 4g. The sound works fine on speaker and notifications and ringtones work as well. I recently rooted it using the revolutionary method and cant seem to figure out the issue. I have been using Mikg rom 2.61 but have tried flashing back to stock.
Any Ideas? sorry if this has been posted before
It's probably a hardware issue. I had an old slider phone that did the same thing, only worked on speaker.
You can unroot and take it in to Sprint and have them take a look at it if you can't find another solution.

well i'm confused because the sound works on everything else so it makes me think that it isn't a hardware issue. I however have no idea and would appreciate any ideas how to fix this
Did u make sure your incall volume was set in settings as well as thru the volume rocker I've found a few ROM's that had incall volume in the tweaks and even tho my volume rocker was up it was still really quiet until I turned the volume up in tweaks/settings

i recently had the same issue. when i answered the phone it went straight to speaker. i couldnt find any solution in the settings. before making a drastic decision like switching ROMS. i decided to shut off my phone. unplug the battery for a minute and rebooted. that was the soluiton. sometimes we as moders overlook the obvious.

The volume through the earpiece and the volume through the speaker are different speakers, unless I'm mistaken. Your notifications, ringtones, music, and putting it on speaker during a call all use the speaker on the back of the phone. The in-call volume is the only thing that uses the earpiece. Even if the two speakers are connected, it could still be a hardware issue.
There's an app that controls volume, and it has an option to turn the media volume lower than 0, which then routes the volume through the earpiece. I don't remember the name or where I saw it, but if you can find it then you could use it to diagnose.
If you run an RUU and the problem still persists, then it's most likely a hardware problem. At that point I would unroot and take it into Sprint for a replacement... unless you think you can replace it yourself.

I'm having the same issue, but it was working before I rooted it with revolutionary. After unrooting it stopped working back to stock. Why is that? Mind you I am now with metro pcs and the evo is new.
Do you guys have a car symbol in the notifaction bar?
If not, the ear speaker is easy and cheap to replace. Just search on eBay and you'll be able to find ones that give you a screwdriver to open the evo

I am also facing a similar issue.
I guess that nothing much can be done as this might be an hardware limitation...

Go to phone settings and enable noise suppression
If it's enabled then vice versa ...I actually talk through head phones so I don't. Know much

Tried this and nothing change.I bought a app volume+ but its not working on jelly bean.
This is a big bug on Htc One V-I readed few tests on internet and many times testers said the call volume is to low.
On ebay we can buy call speaker for htc one v for few GBP but if I replace this speaker is this will fix problem?
I also tried clean the holes by toothbrush-found this tip on this forum when people had the same problem with HOX,but its nothing change,I have this phone about 2 months and this issue is from new.

I tried to found the service code for HTC One ...and found few,but tried onyl 2 of them.
This one *#*#3424#*#* and is for HTC function test Program and working fine,I can test some things and audio as well also for call speaker and working but I only can test these things.
This code *#*#197328640#*#* = service mode is not working but I can believe if we will know the correst mode we will be able to set some things like audio as well.I remember when I had few years ago sonyericsson phone I was able to change some things which was not posiible on normal mobile settings,and I think on samsung android phone is this possible as well(readed on his forum).
Did anybody know service mode code for HTC Ones phones?
im on the same tree... this HTC One V is a HUGE disappointment so far. It is my dedicated phone and i can hardly hear ppl in my ear piece...im forced to use the crappy speaker....this will be the last HTC i buy

I Used that app. Results are satisfactory regarding In-Call volume. NO ROOT ACCESS required for this app. It has an added feature of AUTOMATIC LOUD SPEAKER. Just take the phone away from your ears a bit & it will automatically switch to the loudspeaker. That feature reminds me of my HTC TP2 WM6.5

High pitched buzz during phone calls

I've run into the most bizzare problem, and I can't seem to find anyone else having the issue so I've come to XDA to ask for help before I ship the phone back to HTC.
Whenever I'm in a phone call, I get this extremely high pitched buzz/beeping sound if I'm using the phone's earpiece, but ONLY from the earpiece and only if I'm in a call. If I play audio via the earpiece like from Google Voice or any other application, the buzz isn't there. I tried to install a call recorder to see if I could get an example of what it sounds like, but oddly enough the problem doesn't happen if the recorder is running. I've tried a factory reset, and that didn't fix it either.
Frankly, I'm stumped since it doesn't seem to be a hardware issue, but it also doesn't seem to be a software issue either. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Which HTC 10 do you have.. Carrier branded/US unlocked/WWE? Which software version are you on?
Are you on a VoLTE network? Do you get the same noise if you make a Wi-Fi call (if your carrier is capable)?

Oh, sorry, it's Sprint branded, model 2PS64 to be specific, on software version 1.24.651.3. There is no support for Wi-Fi calling, so I can't check that. I believe Sprint uses VoLTE, but I'm not positive. The buzz doesn't come across if I have headphones plugged in, or if I'm using Bluetooth, so I don't think it is a radio issue.
There was a high pitched noise that comes from the screen at lower brightness levels associated with firmware below 1.53. Put your ear up to the HTC logo on the back and mess with brightness and see if you can hear it. You might have to wait until a new update is released for Sprint.
Have you been able to reproduce the problem in a different area (not sure how your signal is there)
Also, when making calls on GSM phones with no VoLTE there is background static/buzzing most of the time even with latest 1.80 update for US unlocked phones.

Thanks so much, sure enough the noise is coming from the screen itself, not the earpiece, although it still only seems to do it during calls. I would never have never figured this out myself, I can't thank you enough. I'll just wait until Sprint releases an update. Thanks again!

Here's a thread full of reports. http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/help/whining-noise-speaker-low-brightness-t3376476
I'd compare my phone to another sprint one to be sure. I'm thinking if it's the screen high pitched noise that had plagued this phone prior to update, then it should go away when the screen is off. Buy maybe sprint is different then others? Ask in that thread for feedback from other Sprint phone users.
