For my ringer, it is on the loudest, but when I get a phone call, the sound is really muffled/low for about 1 second, then jumps up the volume it should be on (and its really loud)....Is that a normal issue or am I the only one having it?
Its not a make or break, I loooooooove this phone, but just wondering, its kind of weird!
Thanks!
Happens to me as well
Tapatalkin' it from my Epic Touch 3g
It's by design and for 2 reasons. Prevents damage to the speaker and allows you time to silence it before it goes full blast. I actually like it.
If I'm next to my phone I can silence it before it bugs anyone else...if I'm not it will ring loud enough to get my attention.
This is same on mine. It was nice for the one time my phone started going in a meeting cause i hit the volume key fast enough to silence it, but does sound funny when you want it to be loud.

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

Some of you may have this problem, some of you may not, but me and my cousin have this problem with our G2 where the sound from the other line is very quiet for us when we use the phone... as a phone. So what I want to know is, is there any way to increase the sound on for this? Do we have defected phones?
I have this problem as well. In call volume is maxed out but it doesn't sound very loud at all.
I have root access with CM 6.1.0 RC3.
My calls are loud and clear. Its the speaker phone thats low for me.
Does it happen with all calls incoming and out going?
Also are you on wifi?
How is your signal strength?
Same with me my speak phone volume is lower than I would like it, but head set speaker loud and clear

Yes, it's all of the calls that I make and receive. I'm never on wifi and my signal strength during the calls are all good. It may be just me also, but the G2 mic may be quiet also because when I call my cousin he sounds like he's whispering to me but when I call someone else their sound is just quiet, but enough to hear it with a small bit of background noise. I haven't asked him how the sound was when I called him since it's something I just noticed.
Mine's a little soft as well. It kinda sucks that one of the few flaws with this phone is it's use as a phone, lol.

You sure the phone volume is up? Also have you called Tmobile about this?
I have had mine for a little over a month and it is loud and clear, I have no issues hearing anyone, and no one has issues hearing me... really good sound quality imo. I am on stock rom still. Speakerphone is very weak for me as well.
Yeah, in call phone volume is incredibly weak for me. Going to try to boot into stock and see what happens. Is there an app to make the volume louder? Or some way we can change it?
EDIT: Okay. Turns out that I am an idiot. Phone is still new for me so I left the default protective screen on. As soon as I took that off, phone calls were a lot more clear. Just ordered a proper screen protector so I just have to be careful until then haha. Don't know if this will help out anyone but hey, figured I let you guys know.
You know, the real problem with the G2 is HTC quality control on those. I'm on my second G2...the call volume is way lower than my first one...
also the keyboard is a LOT better on the second one, I didn't care at all about the keyboard on my first G2, as the keys were very recessed and didn't have a real "feedback", so I never used it. Made me think the whole keyboard thing about the phone was useless, now I'm in love with it.
My problem is the hinge on the second G2 is much looser than the first one.
If you bought yours recently, just exchange it.

I'm positive the phone volume up. I haven't called T-Mobile yet because I haven't had time.
Ditto on the in call volume, would like to boost.
Anyone try this app Louder Volume Hack v4.1?
http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.AutoMod
I came from an HTC Aria and had the same in call sound trouble, then I tried Louder Volume Hack v3.6 but no luck, did not work.
Instead after some other searching I found a XDA forum that suggested turning on the TTY for the Hearing Impaired option in the Aria and waa-laa ---it worked. Apparently though, this TTY / Hearing Imparied option does not exist in the SOUND settings for the Z.
So, still looking for idea on the in call volume boost.

Theres an app called DSP Manager on CM 6.1.1 that i used to up the voume a whole lot. It comes already installed when you install that rom.
My speaker works great except during a call. I can't hear a thing from it when on a call however. It must be a software issue, then. I started a thread a bit back, but with no luck. I hope we can find a fix.
my in ear sound isnt that loud either.
Ok...regarding the app called DSP Manager on CM 6.1.1, I checked into this, but is appears it only helps on the "media" volume but NOT the phone speaker or in call volume for when the phone is to my ear during a call.
Can you advise, is DSP Manager helping for this in call volume?
Ok...
I found 3 different versions of DSP manager and frankly am afraid to install w/o having a little more dialog with some of you that may be wiser than me.
The three files are attached and as listed are:
DSPManager120210_ALL.zip
DSPManager_080910.apk
DSPManager_100810.zip
The DSPManager120210_ALL.zip file came from this link and appears to the the latest
https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_packages_apps_DSPManager
The APK file came from this XDA link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=750765
Anyway, after looking at the DSPManager_100810.zip file in unzipped mode, the file structure is different than the other zip file, which makes me a little nervous to flash uisng ROM Manager of Clockworkmod.
Meanwhile, I may install the APK file because I can easily uninstall if there is no improvement in the IN CALL VOLUME.
Any insights are welcomed.
Well I dove in and thank goodness for NAND backups...
Here is the deal (as of 12/31/10 4:05 PM EST):
- DSPManager120210_ALL.zip DID NOT FLASH
- DSPManager_080910.apk INSTALLED BUT NO CHANGE ON MY DESIRE Z A7275
- DSPManager_100810.zip FLASHED BUT NO EAR PEICE SOUND NOR SPEAKER SOUND
Now as of 12/31/10 4:11 PM EST in an restoring from my 12/31/10 10:00 AM EST NAND backup.
Gosh I hate doing this trial and error stuff, talk about a heart attack.
Will update after I complete my full restore and hope all is back in fully operational order.
==========================================================================
UPDATE....FULLY RESTORED 4:21 PM EST...PHEW!!
Thank you Koushik Dutta for clockworkmod!!!

Google intentionally plugged this hole. Meltus isn't developing this app beyond Donut.

I'm soo sorry bro, I luld Happy new year!
I've had my DHD since they came out last November and I've had no real issues with it in all that time. However, I've now got a hugely annoying issue with sound where all sound, ringtones, music etc, comes through distorted at max volume where before it was clear. The obvious suggestion is to turn the volume down but even two steps down from max. volume it still happens depending on the sound coming from the speaker. I don't know how else to describe it except perhaps tearing and that doesn't sound very accurate to what is happening.
I don't remember when this first started happening but I'm pretty sure it was a few months ago and I was using a Sense based ROM at the time. The issue got so bad that instead of playing distorted sound in Sense it would just cut out and all sound would stop for what seemed like two or three minutes. Switching to CM7 has prevented it cutting out but the distortion is still there so I don't think it's related to a specific ROM unless it's a volume boost that was done over all ROM builds. As anyone who owns a DHD will know the audio has always been a little on the quiet sound but the level I have the volume at now is below what I'm comfortable with.
Can anyone offer a suggestion on how to fix this audio issue? It's almost to the point now where I'm thinking of going back to stock and sending it in for repairs. Don't make me do that.. you know it's not a fun process.
I'm only replying to this in case anyone has similar issues so they can see my resolution. Unfortunately it's gotten worse, to the point that I lost all sound on all ROMs bar a few squeaks from the speaker. The in-call speaker worked fine and I could make calls with no issue but no notifications, alerts, alarms etc would sound on the external speaker.
I flashed back to stock Gingerbread and I've sent my phone off to HTC, via T-Mobile UK, to be repaired. I'm also hoping they fix the misaligned camera issue too. I'm a little worried because despite trying I could not get S-ON back before I took it in but it's using stock bootloader and an HTC RUU ROM. Anyway, I'm basically saying that it's a bad sign and will have to go in for repairs. Hopefully this will save anyone from wondering in the future if they get the same sort of issue.
I'm having the same problem.. I think.. if you are talking about the speaker that you make the phonecalls with.. not the "external" speaker.. that works fine..
it has a crackling sound with mine.
Sounds like the external speaker is busted. You already send it to repair, probably that's the only solutions.
Okay, i love this phone, but a few things are happening that kind of freak me out i was wondering if anyone else is experiencing these things.
1.) If you have UI sounds enabled.. ie...click noises for anything you select on your phone screen. Something wierd happens, i was wondering if anyone can test this and tell me if their getting the same thing.
Please be somewhere dead silent. Click anything and listen for the UI sound... now wait a couple seconds, probably 3 seconds and then you will hear a feint "pop" after not doing anything in that time. The "pop" sound almost sounds like that noise when you have your stereo hooked up to something and you unplug it while its on..that hot "pop"??? i dont know how to describe, was just wondering if anyone could test and see if their gnex does that too.
2.) I dont know if this is related to #1, but if im listening to my gnex through headphones, the UI click noises will all be followed by a feint hiss. Also when i unplug the 3.5 mm jack, i can hear a different type of hiss through the speakerphone like 2 seconds later.
3.) This has happend to me 2 times now. I will not use my phone for an extended period of time..probably 2 hours ish... When i turn my phone back on my touch screen isnt working, i cant swipe to unlock or anything. But i can still hold the power button and get the power-off menu, or press the volume rocker keys and lower the volume / raise the volume. I have to pull battery to get it working again.
4.) My gps voice sounds terrible, it sounds distorted at no matter what volume i have my phone at
5.) Kind of minor, but lets say im in my car and running audio through my g-nex, when i unplug my 3.5 mm cable from the gnex, the gnex will make a hissing noise about 2 seconds after unplugging through the phones speakerphone.
i really dont want to have to return this phone, but i mean all these annoyances are really hard to live with. I hope someone can give me some insight maybe even tell me their gnex has a problem, so that im not the only one having these problems.
Dont know

Hey guys!
I've been wondering a bit, after getting my Galaxy Nexus. I mostly have my phones on silent, just have it to vibrate, when ever I receive a call, sms, e-mail or what ever.
But with the Galaxy Nexus, I seem to can't feel the vibrator (no naughty thoughts!), and therefore I can't have my phone on silent.
Anyone know if i can change it with an app or anything else? Really hate that my phone needs to sound like a an robot when ever i get a notification.
Cheers,
Alexander W.

Are you talking about a software problem or a physical problem?
As in have you tried going into like gmail settings and turning on vibrate when receiving emails and stuff like that?
I had this exact same problem. I never have my phones make noise (other than the sound of it vibrating) as I don't want to accidentally leave it on loud when it should be on silent. Just easier that way. Plus you can hear your phone vibrating on a table or other hard surface from other rooms, so no need for sound.
It took me a bit to figure out what was going on, but what the issue was for me was I had the ringer volume down too low. With your phone unlocked, press the volume up rocker once. You will see that it changes from a speaker with a line through it to a phone that appears to be vibrating. This will put it in silent but vibrate mode.
Also make sure in the sound settings that you have the vibrate mode set properly. I have mine set to always vibrate.
Hope that helps!

Try the application Light Flow. I had the same problem, couldn't feel the short vibration and missed my emails and such. With light flow you can set up custom vibrations for different applications. I have two exchange accounts and have set up different vibration lengths and led colors for each (the one vibrates for around 4 seconds). You can also set up another set of vibrations if you miss the first one that will repeat for a duration of time that you can also set.
For phone calls only, try vibration manager, it will allow custom vibrations for incoming calls.

Yes, there is silent, vibrate and tones
hiohokaybye - It's exactly like the others says. It proberbly isen't a problem with the phone, it just doesn't vibrate "hard" enought for me to feel it or hear it.
But thanks for the help, jaeisber, archerks & white lie! - Got it working "right" now.
Cheers, y'all, and Merry Christmas!
I giggled when I read the title of the thread.
I too have experienced missing calls and messages do to the fact that the phone vibrates at a much higher frequency than other phones I have had. It feels great when you hold it, but I don't notice it as much as other phones when I have it in my pocket.
Same here, I can't feel the vibration strong enough when it is in my pocket and miss calls. I'll have to try the light app.
