Hi everyone, I gust got an unlocked HTC 10 directly from htc and am having an issue with the ringtone volume. It sounds loud enough when choosing ringtone, but when the phone actually rings when receiving a call, that same ringtone sounds at least 20% quieter. Any suggestions how this can be fixed? I tried just about all the settings in sound & notification but nothing made any difference.
Thank you in advance for any input...

Update: so it turns out that during notifications, only the bottom speaker is ringing and apparently it was designed that way. I spoke with HTC support and they are sending me a new phone, but judging by what I read in other threads and forums, the new phone will work the same way as the one I have now.

Hey guys,
I hope I'm not the only one, but for all of you that have an "ORIGINAL" ring sound, is it low when you receive a call?
I have the ring volume at MAX and I'm using a "office ring" ringtone, but it's just soooo low and can barely be heard when placed in a holder and in my pocket.
When I searched this forum, I found this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=581477&highlight=ring+volume . Could this really be the cause of the problem? I do in fact have vibrate and ring, but I use the custom "av1pr" sequence that people from the Jade threads mentioned.
Hopefully there's a solution! Thanks!
ok i did a lot of testing and found out the vibrate has nothing to do with the ring volume
the system sound volume seems to be controlling the ring volume even when i separate the volume controls (one for ring, one for system).
i dont like the system sound loud, but i have no choice because the ring is very very low even at 100%
any of you guys have this problem or know a fix?
thanks
For a past phone, I had copied the ringer sound file that I liked to my PC, used a free audio recording/editing program and re-recorded the sound with a louder volume. Then, I copied the new sound file back to the phone and pointed the phone to it.

Thanks guys for the help.
I actually used the "registry" fix from the link, but where could I find a program that could increase the volume of a sound clip?
My sound is still a bit low.
I used the "Sound Recorder" which comes with Windows.

Guys,
Firstly thankyou all for your help, tips and suggestions to maximise the performance of this great handset.
I have done the upgrade and included battery increment and top display change and am extremely happy!
I just have this issue now that with the phone set for incoming calls on constant ring and vibrate, it begins ringing and vibrating at the required volume/level for one or two rings and then fades away dramatically to being only just loud enough to be heard. Is there anyone who can help with a program install fix etc?
Thanks in advance.

Look in, "settings, sounds & display." There is a setting that reduces the volume of your ring when you pick up/move your phone. Its called, "quiet ring on pick up."
Hope this helps,
Nylo
I believe there is also a setting for increasing ring or decreasing ring so make sure you check that out as well. I might be mistaken as I have stopped using my TP2 but I believe there is.
Thanks heaps, both suggestions are absolutely right and I had missed the 'quiet to touch' in the advanced settings after the firmware upgrade.
Sorry for what would now appear to be a silly question but I was starting to think I had done something seriously wrong.
Once again, thanks for all the great tips and advice.
Best Regards,
Daniel
Does anyone know how to get rid of the End Call Beep on the HTC One M8? This loud beep is very annoying.
Thanks!!
Anybody have a clue? This is really annoying to me and I am sure it is to a few others.
Thanks for all help in advance!!!!
It's a carrier thing, you can't remove it.
It is not a carrier issue ... I will try this:

I also had this problem and was only a problem with blue tooth connections. It turned out that I could turn down the volume of bluetooth notifications and alerts so that the beep was quite tolerable. While in a call, push the volume button down or up and a menu pops up, click on the gear or star icon on the right of the pop up menu and it will take you to another menu that you can slide the volumes of notifications and alerts from high your current high level to a lower level.
I was on with HTC today and they wanted me to send them the phone for repair! Fortunately I found this setting that relates only to the bluetooth volumes.
Hope this helps you!

I am sorry to resurrect this dead thread, but I'm having this same problem and I don't use bluetooth headsets... the call status tone for connections is killing me...
I have rooted my phone now and it's not a carrier issue (all HTC one M8 software installs seem to have removed the "Call alerts" branch from Settings>Applications>Phone>Call Alerts>Call Status Tones) so I'm trying to find the xml responsible for these settings so I can disable them there. I wish I had an app that could search xml files for text from root so this would be easier like aGREP only that can search root and xml...
I would leave this thread dead except for the fact that I'm still facing this problem and recently had an ear issue that has made this beep so much more painful... and holding the phone away from my ear while waiting for the beep to pass has caused people to hang up on me
I need some help with those 2 topics, probably pretty easy for most of you
1. When I make a call on the HTC 10, the ringing I hear is very low, when someone answers it is fine. If I raise the volume for the ring, when someone answers, it is LOUD in my ear.
2. My notification is always staying lit. It flashes etc when necessary, but otherwise, even when I have it Flash (when screen is off)
Thank You Very Much
the ring sound is very very bad, when the phone rings only sound in the lower speaker, the same for alarms and notifications. If you place a song like a ringtone sound HORRIBLE, muffled and very low, I´m searching about a fix or patch and nothing, even with root and moods, very very frustrating
for to enjoy music is good but no so loud that M7/M8 or M9, with the headphones is very very good
There wiil be a mod in the future to use both speakers. even s7 has a sound mod
bugs

the phone has very much bugs
When you hear music in the phone, sound in both speakers
If you connect headphones, the ring sound in both speakers
The problem is for ringtone sounds, notifications and messages without headphones
very very particular
Thanks everyone. I was talking about when placing a call, listening to the other person's phone ring thru the earpiece. Is that what you were also speaking about.
As far as the notification light, SMH... I had Light Flow installed and running and didn't know it. LOL. Ooops
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?

What device and software do you have? It seems that some fo have the issue and others don't. Trying to find any rhyme or reason to it

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.
