So someone just called me, and I could barely hear the ringing. I checked the Volume settings, and I had ringer volume all the way up.
Then, I noticed that the ringing was coming out of the earpiece instead of the speakerphone speaker.
Here's where it gets weird, though... Someone just called me as I was writing this post, and the ring came out of the speakerphone speaker like it's supposed to...
Additionally, when I'm using my new Samsung bluetooth headset that worked just fine before the update, i can hear the person I'm calling, but they can't hear me.
Is anyone else having weird audio issues?
Yes, I am having similar issues. All audio comes through the earpiece. Very annoying as I like listening to music on speaker phone but I can barely hear it through the earpiece. I hope there is a fix for this soon.
I am lucky I do not have this issue, but I think they were trying to prevent all of the blown speaker issues that have been posted about. Just a guess. Maybe this earpiece issue is a side effect

The microphone volume is very low on my dhd, people can barely hear me when I call them. The sound is also low when I use a voice recording app. When I plug in an external mic the sound is fine though.
I've been looking for a solution for this for a while, does anyone have any suggestions?
I'm running MIUI 1.5.20, but I had issues when I was using the stock ROM.
Yes i have this problem, often people complain they can't hear me any good.
However if i turn the phone with backside towards me they can hear fine so i guess it's a design fault that they place the microphone at the back, why?
Did anything ever come of this? It's just that I am experiencing the exact same issue

Cheers, Adam.
When I plug in the headset in it's dead quiet but the minute I start dialing a number from the keypad I immediately hear like faint white noise. I even hear it when on a call, although again it's faint compared to the level of the call itself. Same thing with music although the music drowns it out. Can anyone else confirm the same.
I remember there being a link posted from Anandtech where they tested this phone with the inclusion of the Yamaha chip for audio and noticed this issue. Has something to do with the noise floor in relation to insufficient shielding.
When I used the headset for calls on the Sensation I had none of this, just wondering if anyone else has noticed this.
Thanks
I noticed the same thing... Its a bit distracting.... Since its a hardware
issue, I doubt we'll see a fix.
Has anyone else experienced a problem where the earpiece buzzes when the volume reached a high enough level? For me it happens during the loud part of a word when someone is talking (typically the beginning to the middle of the word), and on the highest two in-call volume settings. I can crank it down two notches and the issue disappears, but it just seems unlikely to me that the highest two settings would be unusable.
I got the same issue too, but only with certain callers though. The worst is when I call *611 to Verizon customer service and listen through the automated rep/music. It would create a buzz or static/distortion sound in the earpiece. Kinda annoying, but luckily I use the bluetooth headset 99% of the time. I just tested the earpiece today on a normal call and can confirm to you that I got similar problem, but again on certain callers only.
Can anybody else confirm this?
Has anyone else noticed that while you're on a phone call. If you place the caller on speakerphone... The callers voice sounds at what you might expect to be 30%-50% of the volume (even after raising speakerphone volume to 100%), the callers voice volume on speakerphone just doesn't sound loud at all, not even at 100% volume.
Is there a fix for this?
Is Google aware?
If anyone can share their thoughts about this, please do.
Had this exact same thought. Haven't yet tested on the November update.

It's the same on Nov. I rooted and installed Viper. Enabled xLoud on Phone Speaker and it's better. Can't understand why Google didn't enable both speakers for phone calls, like they did for media.
It's probably because only the bottom speaker is firing so it's literally half the volume you would expect.

I have the same problem with volume on speaker phone calls. I don't like the idea of a new driver (Viper) that requires root.
Are there any other solutions?
Bump for an issue I've noticed now that i use the speakerphone
I just recieved a xl 3 and the speakers/volume is absolutely horrible. I have searched bit for what ever reason I cannot find any fix to the problem. Is the volume being to quiet, even on speaker normal for the phone and is there a fix?
Thanks for any help.
Not sure exactly what issue you are having as your description is a little vague, but there is an ongoing issue with sound.

Sound
When talking on the phone using the ear speaker it is very hard to hear conversations. Also when on speaker phone it sounds like a a normal sounding ear speaker. If I play music I can only hear the music of I hold the phone right in front of me. About 1.5 feet from my face. Just wondering if this is normal? I also get a buzzing when I record video during playback.

Not normal at all. Factory reset it. If that does not fix it, send it back.
