Start here with this link. It all depends on ROM and phone you are using.

It can also your headphone jack itself. Mine is loose and I have to wiggle the wire in the jack.
Good luck!

[Q] Accidently dropping a call with your cheek

Hello guys
Me and friends using DHDs are having the same problem.
Sometimes hangup the calls with cheeks or ear or ....
Especially it is annoying then you in rush with something, receive important call, hold your phone between shoulder and ear and .............. after some time you accidentally press END CALL button.
It is the biggest minus having touchscreen phone.
The thing is that screen turn offs after some time of talking but it turns on again as you are moving around.
Did anyone find out how to solve this misery?
Would be grateful.
Regards
Pashkustva
Sounds like an issue with the proximity sensor, if I hold mine wrong I tend to turn on loudspeaker with my face. It's tweaked in some of the ROM's I believe - are you running a ROM or still on Stock?
Hi, thanks for responce.
I have rooted sence 3.0 Rom by nitr0. But this problem is not dependant on my rom as before i had original virgin mobile branded rom and the problem still persists.

Definitely a proximity issue. On CM7 I also had the issue of putting calls on hold with my cheek! You can remove the hold button in the call options.
yes. my screen turns off only when i close proximity sensor totally. though it should do it in a distance.
Unfortunately indigolemon's posted app does not work on my kernel. as my radio is 12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M. and Kernel 2.6.35.10.

In cm7, this accidental hold was a b**ch before i removed it; but it took me quite some time to figure it out

try plugging headphones into yr phone, try to call someone. If they can hear you say it means that your microphone is broken.

How to change audio settings?

Ok firslt I want to apologize for opening a new thread so quickly after already having one open..
I've recently developed unilateral hearing loss so I can only hear out of one ear but the majority of my songs switch over between the headphones and its quite frustrating... Is there any way I can change this?

Really LOUD in call vol

Hey
Not sure if this has always been an issue, but the in call volume on my OX is REALLY loud on the lowest setting. Anyone else?
I'm having that problem as well. It's just too loud.

Let the wax build up in your ears. Its ok then.
Turn the volume up and back down again. This temporarily fixed the problem for me.

Yep I agree turn the volume up then down whilst it's ringing and it will be quieter during your call.

I'm having the opposite ....
My In-Call volume is too soft even at maximun volume level's setting during calls.
Any solution for that?

I have this too - its a Jelly Bean bug.
Turn the volume upto 100% during a call then back down to the level you want, you can do this whilst a call is dialing so thats it already done when it starts ringing.
If you are already at 100% volume, then you still need to try to increase the volume before you try to decrease it or it wont work sometimes as well.
Is this seriously the only solution, because I will need to do this every time I get a call.
Is there a permanent solution in sight?
Turning the call up then down solves it

This worked for me thanks my man. It made sense after I thought about it. As I was brushing the front speaker I saw the dirt coming out of it. Now I have my in call volume set to half and sounds like I have it at full before I brushed it.

[Q] Any way to increase Bluetooth headset Mic recording volume?

Hi,
I'm currently using ARHD21 rom. I've noticed that the recording volume using my Bluetooth headset is very low.
I'm using BTmono app to route the Mic so it will record from Bluetooth headset.
I've tried with Jabra Supreme, Jabra Sports, i-tech voice clip 609s, and Samsung's Bluetooth. Using with apps like Voxer, Palringo, WeChat and the free voice recorder.
All resulted in volume at least 40% lower then other android phone. Tried all the same headset, on Samsung S3 and a Samsung knock off android phone.
Recording from phones built in Mic and wired headset is ok though..
Need help, I'm literally shouting to get my voice heard when using Palringo with my friends. Out of 52 online I'm always the one with the lowest volume.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Oh btw, I tried using the old ARHD ICS rom, same results. Have not tried switching to stock.
I'm the only guy in my group using htc phone, so could not compare.
Only PTT app I use that yielded same volume level is Zello but had to set the recording amplifier within the app to max.
Even iPhone users on Bluetooth had louder volume.

You ask a ROM specific issue by opening a whole new topic in Q&A??
and by the way... Recording has always been average to me via bluetooth...

Not really ROM specific, just stated ROM I'm using.. Think it's one x specific
I doubt it has anything to do with the ROM
