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!
Hello everyone,
the microphone of my Note II does not really work anymore.
When on an active phone call, the other phone does not hear anything, only a minimal staitc which is pretty normal.
Also voice recording does not record anything.
The only working audio I get is when using the camcorder to shoot a video.
Here it seems also a lot quiter than it was before.
Restarting the phone does not help at all.
Did anyone else have that problem before?
My last idea would be to do a hard reset and hope for the best...
Best regards.

how about using ung headset? can the other line hear you? try using voice recorder and see if you can record your voice. if so, then it's a hardware issue. time to visit your sammy service center.
what happened before you lost it?
Hi,
Hope you are not keeping your little finger over the mic, covering it up.
Cheers!!!
hi all,
i would just like to ask if anybody has encountered sound clicks? this happens to me currently when my phone sounds beep (when sending msg on whatsapp and viber, refreshing msg on facebook) then I will hear sounds clicks like three or more clicks?
How can i fix this? please help.
my phone is not rooted and on stock jelly bean 4.1.1 with software number 3.14.401.31
please help.
Thank you so much.
I'm not sure what you exactly mean... Could you describe the "clicking" a bit more precisely?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Sorry for the confusion. the sound is like ticking. After I make a sound on my phone like sending message on viber and watsapp, there will be a ticking sound (maybe abount 3 or more ticks/clicks sound). the tick is intermittent. please help.
thanks,
I had this a lot when I first got my phone, it seemed to get fixed with the later ics roms I used but its returned since being on jb.

i never had this before on ICS. Only now on JB.
Might have something to do with the audiodriver, i recall a similar issue on one of the musicbox mods ....... the closing of the sounddriver caused small ticks like you descibed. As if it is getting a peak signal.

Hi, I experienced the same on my HOX some days after purchasing it last August. It was running ICS and in my case I had installed a Sound Equalizer app which in my case seems to have been the reason of the clicks. I wrote to the assistance service and thay suggested me to remove this crap and since then I had no clicks ever. If you have any Equalizer or Sound Booster app, I suggest you to remove them and give it a try without using them. I hope this can be helpful to someone and please excuse my english.
I don't see why everyone is worrying about this. The sound clicking you describe is more like a POP when a sound or music has ended.
Let me Explain why this happens:
The sound vibrations are immedietly stopped when the DAC mutes itself when it's no longer needed, this immediate stop for the vibration makes this POP noise. You can get these sounds in all types on electionic devices which can output sound, it's totally normal
You cannot stop these from happening permanently, but there is a way to reduce this. Turn off all sound-altering applications (EQs, Reverbs, Virtualizer, etc) this will cause the sound to vibrate less and thus reducing the loudness of that POP noise
I suggest you to never modify the speaker's audio as the POP noise might worry you (Much louder POP sounds) but there won't be any problem with the speaker
If you like to modify your audio, you will have to get used to that popping noise (like me) and it will sound normal to you in the future.
I hope this information was very helpful
Very ! Nice to see you here zero ! Still developing outside xda, i still have the link from your website but hasn't been there for a while
I think i found what makes this sound ticks. Its the equalizer app that I installed. I tried to turn off the app and the sound ticks were gone.
Thanks for all your responses.

Same problem here. My voice is very muffled and to be honest I'm getting tired with having to shout down the phone. Everyone says it sounds like I'm underwater or have my hand over my mouth.
Anyone know what's caused this? On the Trinity Vengeance RaptorXL 2.5 JB ROM

I've been trying to work this out for months. There have been a LOT of posts about this on the Sony forums, but no one has a definitive fix yet. Some people have fixed theirs by turning off noise suppression. Others have fixed it by turning off vibrate when ring. Others have restored their firmware 3 or 4 times before it went back to normal.
My fix was to press the volume rocker a few times when picking up the call. This would normally work, however lately it hasn't been doing a thing.
Hi
Can anyone give me any ideas on how to boost the call volume at all? I have the volume set to MAX but the sound is so quiet it's driving me nuts. It cant be me going deaf as I can still hear the wife
It used to be fine when I was on M2 of CM11 but needed to move to a newer version (now on nightly from March 14th) in order to fix a couple of other issues with GPS, camera and bluetooth.

Glad I am not the only one noticing this .. man in call volume from handset is crazy low.

Check the themes and apps section, I remember seeing a fix for the volume in there somewhere.
Hey there,
I also have the same problem since using CM11. When using the Samsung Stock Rom, the volume was much louder.
So what app should I use?
Did you guys find a solution for this problem? I have it too...
I found a workaround. Once the call starts press volume down button and then volume up. It works great. The problem is that you have to do this each and every single time...
Has this been fixed in M11?
