HTC Tilt2 Ringer Volume Fades *HELP*

Hey everyone, first of all, I wanna say a big THANK YOU to all the chefs on here and all the other xda members. You guys save me from dealing with the suckish ways that all the phones I buy are set up (which apparently these companies think are good... hahaha, yeah...). Well anyway, got a bit of an issue that I need some help with. As I am sure alot of you know already, the ringer volume on the Tilt2 is just AWFUL. I found a couple solutions to somewhat remedy this and give a big boost to the volume, however, I have hit a few obsticles with each. The first was adding the AudioPara4 file to my Windows folder. This fixed the ringer volume problem PERFECTLY, however, it completely kills the mic. Others cannot hear me at all when on calls. The other I tried was a few regestry tweaks. This also fixed my ringer volume (not as good as the first solution did, but my mic still worked so it is tolerable). The issue is not, when my phone first rings, the volume is rather loud and crisp. However, after about 5 seconds, the volume fades down to about half of what it starts at. It doesn't drop out, it is like a 1 second fade effect which would cause me to consider the possibility that this may be a setting (which was a stupid idea on HTCs part if it is, I mean, who wants a fading ringer). I understand the "Increasing Ring" concept (which is the exact opposite of what I have encountered) and am certain that this setting is not enabled on my device. If anyone has any ideas for solutions regarding this "fading" issue, or the AudioPara4 "mic killing" situation, please help. Your feedback will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance. YOU GUYS ROCK!
Hope this helps

[Q] After installing custom ROMs, voice quality has been terrible.

Hi, about a month ago I rooted my Incredible 2, and ever since my call quality has been absolutely awful. Calls sound extremely robotic and distorted. Even the dial tone when you call someone sounds distorted. I could best compare this to when you record something in an audio editor, and then adjust the levels so that the waveform maxes out into a distorted mess. It sounds like that, so a lot of depth in the sound is lost and it becomes mostly unintelligible. It doesn't seem to be related to call volume, because adjusting it just makes it softer/louder but equally distorted. I'm struggling to understand what people are saying most of the time.
This may be connected, but my signal strength has been much worse as well. In areas where I used to get 3-4 bars I only get 2 now. I actually haven't seen it go above 2 bars since I left the stock ROM. I'm guessing they might be related. I've tried flashing different radios (did 0312 initially, then tried going back to 1111, and when that didn't help went back to 0312 again to be up to date) and that didn't help, and I've tried calling *228 and that doesn't help either.
This also persists over ROMs as far as I can tell, so it doesn't seem to be a specific ROM's problem. I initially used CyanogenMod 7.2, and now I am running Kangdemnation 0.5 (ICS) and the quality/signal are exactly the same on both.
Does anyone know a solution to this? Is it a common problem? This is my first experience with rooting so I can't say I know much about what's going on behind the scenes. If I missed anything obvious to fix this let me know. Any help would be appreciated.
Have you tried flashing a stock Sense ROM?
You can try a sense Rom an update radio to 0320 an see if that helps.For sound you can try one of the equalizer apps might help.

[Q] HTC Desire HD Sound Issues with Touchscreen

Need some advice or trouble shooting tips.
Lately, my DHD is experiencing a sharp popping sound when I wake the device, use an app, or receive messages via Whatsapp or Line.
Presenting I am on JB and had been on AOSP for a long while. The popping sound only started recently after a period of testing Sense 3.6 and Sense 4 ROM's. Going back to AOSP, I noticed the sound right away. Even with all touch options disabled, the sound remains. It's coming from the rear speaker and even if the device is on mute, the sound can be heard.
As well, with online messaging, if I put my ear on the speaker, you can heard a slight hiss and it gradually gets louder until the pop sound cracks.
This problem doesn't happen with the new Sense ROM's I tested. What I have done was tested different AOSP and JB ROM's with the same result.
My next plan is to download a stock version on GB (ARHD is the choice I selected) and test the issue there. However, I am starting to think that I should return straight back to unrooted stock ROM, but I am not sure if that is really necessary.
My question is,,,, has anyone experienced this sound issue and if so, are there any suggestions or tips? As well, could someone experienced actually offer an explanation for the sound. Is my device on its' last legs?
I am thinking it might be kernel or radio related. I really don't know and hope someone can shed some light on this subject.

I highly doubt that it's software related. I've not seen anyone report any such kind of behavior and neither have I experienced it with either Sense or AOSP roms. The fact that the pop sound does not happen when you're on Sense roms is a bit strange, however I think it maybe explainable by the fact AOSP versions generally have boosted volume levels for better sound.
Personally, I think that you should get the speaker module replaced before it breaks down completely (which I believe is a very real possibility given the nature of the problem you've stated).
Just tested ARHD and when I make a call, there is a slight tick or crackle sound coming from the front ear piece. The sound is faint, but when put the phone to my ear and press the call button, I can clearly hear it.
I'm going to test the original radio and see if that sound remains. If it does, it seems the previous post above just might be my issue and I really hope not.
You could also try a can of compressed air.
By the way buddy, you've been here too long to be posting in the wrong section

LOL,, did I? HTC Desire HD General Section? Maybe I did... Where should I post?
As for the air compressor, I did that a couple of months ago. I'll give it a go.
As for changing the radio, I did and still have that click with calls. Looking grim at the moment.
It's a thin line between where to post, but yours is a question. :beer:

[Q] When switching to speakerphone my mic stops working

So during a phone call if i push speakerphone i can hear the person on the other side but they can't hear me, if i switch back to regular mode they can hear me again.
anyone have any idea what might be causing this issue?
running Wind 3.5 and the rom in my sig v7.
i'm not sure if there are two mics in this phone but i don't think so.
i have read that noise cancellation can cause this issue but i can't find any settings for it, any help would be greatly appreciated.
any suggestions at all? i'm using wind kernel should i try reverting to stock? does anyone know what handles speaker/mic functions? rom or kernel or both?
i tried flashing an older version of wind kernel no luck, i'm hesitant to flash back to stock rom tho...
nobody has any suggestions?

Notification sound "fading in" effect

Hello xda,
Any time I receive a text or mail the notification sound starts low but quickly ramps up in volume. Is anyone experiencing this as well? Is there a way to set this so it's loud from the start? Hope that makes sense.
I appreciate your help and time
I noticed when the phone rings sounds only by the lower speaker, and sound very low and muffled.

Do you have pocket mode enabled under the sound settings?

Turning off "Pocket Mode" did make a "slight" improvement, but not much. Thanks for the tip though. :good:

Many others (including myself) have noticed and posted about this issue here (though not enough in my opinion). It's not restricted to notifications and ringtones either, it happens with *all* sounds on the phone.
Unfortunately, there is no way to fix it. Different sound drivers, updated firmware, build.prop settings... Nothing seems to get rid of this "speaker protection" crap. I am still hopeful to someday see a mod or firmware update that addresses it though, because after trying all those different things, I've run out of ideas.

I've also noticed that, it sounds fine when I preview notifications and ringtones, but when the phone actually rings it is a lot more quiet and muted. It does appear that the top speaker is not being used for ringtones. I'll try to call htc, let's see what they say.
Called HTC, spoke with a girl who sounded like she was following some sort of flowchart. Needless to say she couldn't help and concluded that it was a defective hardware. I tried to explain that others are having the same issue and it appears to be a bug, but I don't think she understood. They are sending me a new phone. I'm sure the new phone will have the same issue. Maybe if more people call HTC with this issue, they will figure it out.

Hi there
the same problem here, without any mod, crack o root solution. But the difference were the answer from HTC technical support: " this is a technical and engineering design, it´s not a bug", this mean: " f**** you costumer, and again, a new dissapoint from HTC. I has tried in several forums, here in XDA and another ones: nothing for to do, i loose my faith in the HTC 10. It´s very frustating because a little detail ( the ringtone volume and quality) destroy a overall experience

OH, so they know about it? This is a technical and engineering design fu**-up. My notifications are half the volume of the M8. If that is their answer, then I will probably return my phone.
Any solutions yet?
On mine it rings from the bottom speaker for about 3 rings, quiet, then ramps up and uses the top speaker too. With V4a on now once the top speaker kicks in it's very loud. It gives me a chance to answer it before it blasts me out.
I just bought a new htc 10 and quickly noticed this annoying sound fading in issue, searched online and this seems to be the only place talked about it with no solution, does everybody else really okay with this??
I guess at least it sounded fine when using headphone, but with this speaker fading crap everything sound like its echoing right now. This NEEDS to get solved.
Any solution ?
I came here to search for any ways to turn this "feature" off (and that's what it is, despite how nobody asked for it or wanted it). Looks like nobody has found any solutions. But here's my theory anyway:
The "fading in" volume effect must be a function of the Boom Sound software. It's a noise gate. And it sucks. For instance, try listening to any music that has any hard hits around any silence (a good example is "Brain Stew" by Green Day). It's really annoying.
I wish somebody could figure out how to disable the Boom Sound software altogether.
According to Google, https://www.google.com/search?newwi...0i22i30k1j33i22i29i30k1j33i21k1.0.leWX0kmgR6I it's a known Feature of Android 5, and many people complain about it, but there is no way to disable it.
Some people can workaround the issue, on some rom, with some apps or players; there is no universal solution.
In the best case, some chat app will not bell if they are already full screen; and this is an issue for me because if I have my phone plugged, and display timeout is 1h, then, it won't bell for incoming messages, and if I am >1m from it, I won't know people are talking to me. That's why I try to always make all apps always bell. But, if I am listening to music, the permanent bell that comes with intense chat may turn the music off all the time.
I not sure if I shall downgrade my phone to Android 4, 2.2, or 1.8 ...
.. arg, I am stupid, those versions have never been ported for my most recent phone.
