The volume rocker on my M8 seams to be lose or something. I say this because when I set my phone down it tends to rattle and make a noise. I'm not sure if this is a problem with my device or if anyone else's phone does this too? It's rather annoying to hear a "broken noise" from a phone that is built so well. Has anyone else noticed this?

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.
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.
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.
Just wondering if anyone else is have issues with low speaker volume after updating to 4.3 (Rooted OTA)?
Ever since then, I have noticed that the volume level of the speakers is way lower than before. Specifically, the speakerphone is almost unusable in situations where it was amazing before (like in the car, or a large conference room). Most times, it's like the sound is only coming out of the bottom and not the top.
Anyone else have this issue or have any ideas on what can be done to fix?
Well crap... I guess I am all alone on this one.
I keep having the issue of the ring volume going to zero and missing calls. I've tried to determine what might be causing it, but haven't been able to find the cause. Is anyone else having this issue and/or figured out a solution.
I do not use my phone no more. But when I did have it is service, the volume seemed real low, even when set to max.. I did have missed calls, and have never found a solution. Sorry.
