Speaker too loud

Is there a way of lowering the speaker volume?
When I am on a call, despite having the volume set to the minimum, it is still too loud.
Anything I can do?

Same for me here. If anyone knows a way please let us know

Have you guys actually lowered the phone volume to minimum, or the PDA volume by mistake, there are two sliders, if I set the phone to minimum you cannot hear a thing! - or when answering a call are you holding the answer button too long causing the phone to use Speaker phone volume - Mike

My Orbit is the same,

Same Problem here.
I set the speaker volume while talking to minimum and it stays too loud.

Hi!
I have the same problem.... unfortunately it can not be solve, with the volume level setting..

I have the HTC P3300 and have no problem with the volume however would love to increase it a bit louder. Is there a tweak for this?
Thanks,

In call speaker volume is to loud also
I've got the same problem. Eventhough I set call volume to minimum the speaker is much to load. Any of you found a solution to this problem?

Same here....volume way to amplified
I have the same problem,
One minute my phone was fine - sounded great, 5 minutes later when I used it again the "In-Call" volume and "Speaker" volume are WAY to loud.
Anybody got a clue as to why this is happening and how to fix it, its driving me mad!
(I hope this is a software fault and not hardware)
Thanks,
Fakiee

RMAd
Ok so the phone was still in warrenty. T-mobile sent an RMA bag (RM special delivery) for me to send the phone to their repairs:
http://www.sbe-ltd.co.uk/
I sent the phone and reported the problem as "in-call speaker distorted". The repair was made and completed the next day (yesterday) then sent back via special delivery so my phone should arrive back today.
I doubt SBE have fixed the problem. They most likely watched the phone turn on then sent it back. But we will see. If they have not fixed it I will be replacing the "in-call" speaker myself. I will post the guide here if it solves the problem.

MDa II "in-call" speaker FIXED
SBE returned the phone and completed the repair. Im assuming all they did is replace the "in call" speaker. For those who cannot RMA the phone I suggest a search for MDA III internal speaker on the bay then follow the dissasembly guide and replace.
Hope this helps!

Volume still too loud
UPDATE
After the unit was RMA'd i realised that infact they had not fixed the problem. The ring and incall volume is still WAY to loud.
When I recieve a call i have the incall speaker (when you have the handset next to your head/ear) set to the lowest setting and the sound is almost defening, if i have it on the highest setting it distorts the speaker and is inaudiable.
This is a problem with the phones hardware or software and not the wrong settings. Can anyone please help, is their a registry setting for general volume settings that can be adjusted?
Thanks for your help,
Andy.

I had the same issue, but this was after i had tampered with the registry settings to increase the volume on the wired earphones. It is a fine balance! Suggest re-installing the OS to get back to deault settings if you have been in the registry

[Q] No sound during a phone call

I'm having an issue with my Xperia Play. During a phone call, I usually don't get sound unless I switch to speaker mode or I plug in earphones.
Sometimes it works, sometimes it only works after I switch back and forth the speakermode.
I wonder if it's a hardware or software issue. Anyone could help ?
edit: I think I had this issue after rooting and unlocking the bootloader but I can't be sure because I didn't spend a lot of time with the phone locked down.
edit2: I rooted by flashing Bin4ry's package. I read a bit about that and it seems it can have a negative effect on the baseband version not being the right one for my 2.3.3 firmware ?
Here are my version numbers:
Build: 4.0.A.2.368
Kernel: Doomlord #3
Baseband: 8x55A-AAABQMAZM-20302204-36

Bumping just in case. Someoe knowledgeable could see it.

I upgraded with flashtool to 2.3.4 and the issue is still there.

No sound during a phone call
Hello I have this issue too, I hope someone will recognize my post
While I dial a phone and press call (then earphone turns on) I hear a GSM signal sound (same as if you hear your phone signal in a PC speakers) instead of voice.
In service menu if I press Earphone test i hear this high frequency sounds too.
I HAVE already REPLACED BOTH CABLES WHICH CONNECT EARPHONE AND MOTHERBOARD (1.flex and 2. the one with front camera and earphone included).
So cable replacement DID NOT SOLVE it.
I thought it is SW stuff, but I FLASHED .62 ROM but it is STILL SAME.
New .80 BASEBAND DIDN'T HELPED to me.
Last time my GSM signal was crashing sometimes, If I tried to connect manually it told me that my sim card is not allowed to connect to my operator... something like that
my phone R800i and I don't remember when it started, I think in the morning after party last month
Any ideas what to do guyz? :crying: :crying:
Really want to solve this :cyclops:

Probably if you return to the Stock Version. Also make you have not by accidentally damaged the earpiece with water, even if you were sweating from you ear or something because it might not always be the cables that are wrong but some other HW problem.

Hello, I wrote it all in a previous post, my earpiece is new and .62 is stock ROM, In my opinion there is some HW problem in gsm signal modulation. I was in a smartphone-repair shop and they told me it will cost too much. I think this is the weakest point of XPLAY, because my friend has XPLAY too and while he dial a number and start calling, phone screen turns black and no hardware keys can wake up the screen..
Then I discovered only power button works here after checking ''Power button ends call'' in Accessibility settings. But it is still annoying.
But my problem is not solved, I have to phone with headphones connected or with rear speakers as audio output :/

hi please help
i have this problem No sound during a phone call please help

News?
Any news about this issue? There is load of threads about an ear speaker, I can still hear only GSM signal beep in it

Some people have speaker problem, i have microphone issue, Sony is just making pathetic phones with cheap hardwares. secondary mic works flawslessly, like it even catches the sound from a meter distance, but primary mic i should yell at it, which makes phone call very difficult.

I have an xperia zr and I absolutely love it except for one thing : very low in call volume. I'm not sure if it's fixable. Unticking the speaker voice enhancement (I think this is the name) under call settings seemed to help a little but not by much.

you guys wont believe what i am about to say.
I bought my ZL just one week ago,(though i have a Neo V) . I was really sad about this whole "low call volume" thing.
then i saw the latest firmware update (am in India) today and updated few hours ago to 10.3.1.A.2.67, with the hope of having this call volume bug corrected.
i was not interested in the fancy lock-screen widget, transparent notification bar bla bla bla as i was happy with 4.1 JB. But i updated it only for the sake of fixing the call volume bug.
BUT to my disappointment i found the phone working fine just as promised...but call volume is still low!!!!!! even after a restart!!
frustrated i did something i read somewhere but cannot recall - i used a clean dry toothbrush and brushed the earphone grill!! yes you read it right...and guess what?? IT WORKED!! the volume is way higher than before ..though i request Sony to bring a update to fix this volume bug..but for time being it works for me....
PS - keep all those enhancement settings bla bla UNTICKED as said before.
and keep the earphone grill JUST below your ear-hole.

lol a toothbrush or vacuum can definitely solve this issue
if the incall volume still the same, that might be hardware problem though

I was facing this problem for a while. It turned out the case I had installed was covering the earpiece because the earpiece is at the very top. I cut out a small piece of the case and now its very loud.

The only way to adjust the incall settings increase volume is by pressing the volume up button whilst active and phoning someone, this is the only way to adjust the internal volume , sony shop eventually fixed this after 3 visits

About MP3, I had the same issue, then I tested with the headphones and sound played normally through it, then took the headphones off and sound played normally on speakers too.

I personally don't like because they removed xLOUD . Now volume is too low.

Viper4android won't let you make calls, a reboot happens if you try to call someone

Not a big deal as it was just a gimmick, but the notification LED doesn't light up when browsing through the pictures in the album app.

It's alot better than kit kat except for the icons and loud speaker

Also found that, but when I turn on "ClearAudio+" (Settings > Sound & notification > Audio settings) the speaker gets louder.
I hope I've helped.

I have some, Microphone is too low, other party cant hear a thing. even I disabled noise canceling mic but still problem exists.
2 - when someone calls, the notification light goes crazy and turns on and off very fast. and sometimes ringtone doesn even play.
3- earpiece volume is too low too

Thus far all I am aware of was the WiFi bug. I had to re-flash lollipop three times to get my WiFi to work ( updated through PC companion)

The only bug I found is that when you turn on Ultra STAMINA Mode and you turn it back off, all the apps you've previously disabled get enabled, so you have to disable them again. Otherwise, I'm having killer perfomance and battery life (4hs of SOT, with KK I had less than 3 and with every Lollipop AOSP-based ROM I got a bit more than 3) so I'll just ignore the Ultra STAMINA Mode and it's all good.
I found that volume levels are loud enough for me, perhaps it's because I have not been using stock for a while.

Every time I make a phone call, the in-call volume is set to 50%.
I increase it and the moment the screen turns off as I put the phone next to my ear, it'll stay at 100 for a while and again fall back to 50!
In case of whatsapp calls, I can change it to 100 but it will fall to 50 every time, won't stay there even for a second.
Started facing this problem when I updated to Lollipop, no such issues on KitKat.
I'm using the US FTF on an Indian phone.
Please help as I like the Lollipop update, it has increased the battery life a lot.

No skip/fast-forward in videos
If I try to skip to 2:30 for example in a video (with Chrome), the video just gets stuck and doesn't play anymore. But if I let it play from start without skipping, everything is just fine.
I googled this and it can be possible that you have to disable NuPlayer in the developers options, but that doesn't seem to work for me?
I hope someone can help or knows a workaround to make skipping work!

Increase volume with at least 30%

Hello there,
I'm using my old z1 compact in my car with Waze on it and I need to higher the volumes a lot. Since is the only application that I'm using on the phone ( no phone calls or anything else) is there a way to increase the volume of the speaker with at least 30%? So I can hear the voice guidance better.
Thanks!

Open /system/etc/mixer_paths.xml file, (make a backup), and look for <path name handset>, (might be more than one, experiment). There will be a number, called something like 'digital volume' (it's been a while, and I'm on N now so can't test). Increase that number. Not too much, just test, like 5 or 10 points. Restart and check it.
