Hi guys. Untill today i was using my BA without no problem. I use WM 6.5-R5 when someone call me the phone ringing and i can hear the sound coming from the speaker, but when i answer it there is no sound from the speaker. when i try to play an mp3 there is no sound too. when i call someone there is no sound i can not hear the dial tone or the persons voice. the speaker works only when receiving a call and there is only ringing sound. it happens suddenly. it was working very normal untill today. i just flash the rom and there is no change still no sound. what is the problem? does anybody know?
1. check the system volume in the task bar, maybe the right bar is up and the left one is down, that would cause that the only sound you can hear is your ringtone, and nothing else
2. if that is the case try putting the left one up, if that works and there is still no sound, check again, maybe it lowered itself, in that case, re-flash your device (occured to me once)
3. if both points aren't applicable, look up the settings for sounds & notifications (very unlikely)
i personally believe it is no. 2, as i had that issue myself just a few weeks ago.
i checked everything about sound but nothing changed, then suddenly it come back to normal :S now there is no problem thanks anyway
Prior to froyo, as far as i remember this was not the issue.
But now, even when I am on call, and received an SMS or any other notification of some kind, mobile will ring notification sound with default volume settings, which happens to be quite loud, especially if you are listening to a call?
Is there any solution for hits ?
i have this problem, i have to keep my volume really low in case i get a notification when on a call. sorry havn't found a fix but hopefully someone has come across this before
just bumping this and adding some more info. my phone used to be fine, i think its since the froyo OTA update. im going to try rooting etc if i cant get it fixed
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.
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.

I've noticed it too but just figured it was normal.

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.
Sent from my HTC 10 using XDA-Developers mobile app
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.
Has anyone solved the issue of having only the bottom speaker working for notifications, alarms, and ring tones? Or is this a defect and I should return my phone? Please let me know if you have this issue or not and if there is any known solution. May have to switch phones if I can't even hear the damn thing ring

It's common to all HTC 10 phones. All notifications are played through the bottom speaker only. No fix is there for it AFAIK. It's a 'feature' apparently.
Just tested mine. Alarm and ringtone (in real situation, not in the settings selection) play through both speakers, no doubt about that. Weird.
(Alarm sound: polychrome. Ringtone sound: Watson from HTC themes)
Is yours unlocked or a carrier version? What software are you running?

Mine is unlocked, completely stock, 2PS6200 Europe version. Tested again just now, both speakers are playing notifications.

Very interesting. Mine is unlocked as well but US version, 2PS6500. I'd be VERY interested to hear if people with the exact same version have different behavior
I've got T-mobile branded european HTC 10 and also both my speakers play all the sounds.
I have the 2PS6500, US unlocked version. No sound from top speaker with ringtone, notifications, or alarms.
So it seems like so far we have the following results
Unlocked Euro version (2PS6200) Stock software rings through both speakers
T-mobile branded Euro version rings through both speakers
Me and one other confirm that US Unlocked version (2PS6500) Does NOT ring through both speakers.
Curious if anyone with US Unlocked version has flashed another ROM and had it work or not work.
Both speakers ringing on another 2PS6200 too, but this time a friend's Hong Kong version (708 software), stock unbranded.

So I have an unlocked European version. And I checked again after reading the responses in this thread. What seems to be happening is that the sound plays out of the bottom speaker but the top speaker does seem to get activated but produces no sound. I hear a soft static noise if I put the top speaker next to my ear when a notification comes through. Could someone else with bottom speaker only notification sounds check for similar behaviour?

Yep, that's exactly what is happening. There is no audio produced from the top speaker during incoming calls, notifications, or alarms... But you can hear a soft white noise from the top speaker if you put your ear next to it as if you were on a call.

Huh. That's pretty strange. I doubt it's a physical defect in the device as music, media and notification sounds (when you listen to them while selecting them, not when a notification comes through) play fine through the top speaker. It makes no sense at all. What's even stranger is that some users are reporting that their notifications play fine through both speakers. Maybe if someone who is S offed could flash roms from both regions and check if the top speaker works with one and not the other we could get to the bottom of this.
Have the same issue on us stock unbranded phone. Was hoping that nought update would fix this but no luck. I have a coworker with T-mobile HTC 10 who swore up and down that his was OK until I actually showed him what to look for. He was testing while selecting a ring tone. I called HTC they offered to send me a new phone but I know that will not fix it. They will not admit it's a bug. I keep missing calls because of this.

I too doubt it is a physical defect.
I was specifically referring to the incoming ringtone when receiving a call. The audio during a call from the top speaker functions as expected... As does audio from apps playing music, audio from apps playing movies, audio from games, etc... All function fine.
Specifically the incoming ringtone of a call, incoming notification, or an alarm produces no audio from the top speaker (a very low, soft white noise hiss can only be heard) is what I was describing. So, we are describing the same issues at hand
I think the easiest way to pin down what is happening would be for someone to flash different stock software from different regions and see if that changes the behavior. My guess is that it is software related
I have the same issue on the Sprint htc 10.. been this way since i purchased the phone on the release date.
running viper10 3.5 currently.. latest firmware for sprint.
would be great to find out what the cause of this is. its really annoying
Well, I was hoping the latest OTA 2.41.617.3 would "enable" the top speaker to be used in tandem with the bottom speaker for incoming calls, incoming notifications, and alarms... But alas, the "feature", or bug (depending on your perspective of it) persist.
Just a side comparison of the 10's audio output during calls, notifications, and alarms is a complete joke next to the M9, M8, and M7.
Anyone else have different results with the OTA?
Sorry dude, both my speakers rang before the OTA, both still do after... It must be a hardware difference.
