I believe this is the only way. Modify build prop after root. I have been struggling with ring notification and alarm tones. If I preview a tone on Zedge or somewhere, it is nice and loud. As soon as I set it as my notification, it is only 2/3 of this volume. Have you noticed this with yours? Could you see if this is the same on your pixel as well? If yours isn't, maybe I need to do a factory reset and try again. Thanks!
We have the same problem. Coming from S7 edge that phone speaker is very loud out of the box ....so how do we root and modify prop?

This is something that I really mis from my s3 probably the thing I would pick if I could change one thing. The phone gets decently loud when playing music (and the quality is amazing) but in call volume I constantly wish it got louder and the same is true for the speaker phone while in call. I think even just alittle bit louder would make a huge difference since for me at max volume its right at the edge.
Anyone else feel the same? I cant be the only one and I have good hearing lol. Please someone fix this!
So far I am seeing my problems disappear one by one as mods come out (share button in blinkfeed, green battery now clear, 30 volume steps for games and music, ect)
That's odd... I find it too loud already just setting it up 2 steps below the middle level of the volume when in call.
Maybe you have a dud. I can hear mine at almost max volume just like a speakerphone on a cheap device. It really is quite amazing

IDK my dads HTC seems to exhibit the same behavior. I will test more to be sure but I doubt its hardware related since my speakers sounds strong with no distortion or anything.
The N7 is just too loud. I like that it CAN get loud but it doesn't get quiet enough. Even 1 tick seems like its super loud. At night in bed I usually have to turn the audio off to watch videos or use headsets. I had to turn my keyboard volume to 1 and system volume to 1 cause the clicks were too loud.
I know this is a weird question but anyone know a way to lower the lower volume settings? I'm running CM Kanged and perhaps they have the volume increased for other devices.
On my OG N7 I would have it 3-4 clicks in or higher. 1 seems like 7 compared to the old N7.
Too damn loud. I know there are apps to make it louder but I haven't seen anything to lower it. Some custom ROMs can provide more steps for greater control but 1 is too loud. I need like a .15 or .25

So totally agree, too loud! no idea what the solution is either and I've looked around. Hopefully there's some mod for stock but I'd be willing to do just about anything.
Er... my shiny new N7 is not too loud. (Production date September 13.)
It's significantly louder than my old N7, but far from being really "loud".
Also, it does absolutely not have the reported problem of hiss when turning down volume.
Perhaps production batches differ in loudness?
Mine doesn't hiss and I'm not saying it is glass shattering but at night when everyone is trying to relax I have 2 options, Volume Muted or Volume Notch 1. Volume Notch 1 is still too loud and my family gives me the stink eye.
The max sound is fine but I think the lower portions should go lower.

Agreed. I suggest using XPosed Framework if you are rooted, and look for the XVolume module (last module in the downloads section of the app). It breaks the volume into 30 steps. I'm going to test this out for myself and let you know my results.
EDIT: Doesn't seem like it helped very much.

Hi.
I'm on the new android 1.4 update with speaker support. When I make a phone call, I either get really low volume on the speaker (have to put my to my ears to listen) or the speaker has decent volume and distorts (like when you play loud music on tiny speakers). I'm wondering for those with the new update if that's normal or there might be an issue with my watch
Thanks
Unfortunately, I think it's an issue with your watch. The speaker is actually pretty loud, you can easily hear the voice from 2 meters away. The sound itself is also pretty clear, of course bass performance is reduced, but the speaker is suitable for phone calls.

Thanks for your reply. Is your watch the same volume all the time if you don't adjust the volume. My watch works fine at times and then for no reason you can barely hear anything and have to put the watch upto your ear. Also do you get any distortion at all on phone calls i.e. squeaky or mumbling voice

Yes, my watch keeps the volume at the same level as long as I do not change it manually. There is also no distortion on phone calls.
Did you get the watch to work??? I have the same exact problem you are having

No afraid not. Have contacted Huawei support today in the UK and they have escalated it to head office and will let me know what happens next. Will update the thread when I hear something back
http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenwatch-2/general/speaker-scratch-call-volume-maximum-t3332476
Zenwatch 2 have the same problem... So i think that the problem it's on android 6.0.1... The volume in call it's very low and if you use in a car, it's difficoult to hear!Also the speaker as you said distorts the sound !!! This , however, does not happen by listening to the music ! if you use google play the sound is higher than the call! but high- volume music have a scratch
Ensure that the speaker port is clear. It can become blocked and the result is distorted sound.
Update
Update, after contacting Huawei support. They sent me a prepaid envelope to ship my watch to a third party repair centre SBE Ltd. I sent it off on Thursday and they received it next day Friday. This morning I received a brand new replacement sealed box. I have tested this one out and there is no issues with it. Sound is clear with no distortion.
Seems I'm having the same problem, hardly use the speaker, don't even play it loud when I do and out of the blue the speaker is distorted. Sigh
I have the same issue now with my replacement Huawei watch. Very annoying. It's completely unpredictable when it distorts as sometimes it's fine and other times its distorted. It sounds like someone trying to speak through their nose. Very distorted.
The only thing I can think of is the place I work at is quite dusty as I do warehouse work so maybe the speaker has dust inside

Can anyone get a recording of how does the distortion sounds like? Or maybe comparison "vs phone loudspeaker" or "vs music on watch".
Thank you!

I can't get a recording as I've sent the watch back to the service Centre. The distortion when it occurs is so obvious that you can tell it's a defect with the speaker as even half volume is distorted.
It sounds pretty much like this video:

Same issue, did you find a fix?
Hi, I've been going crazy trying to figure out the same thing. My music volume on my watch is really loud and phone call volume is so low, it sounds like a whisper. This makes no sense! I contact Huawei and they said there is no way to change the volume of the phone call. Maybe it is a bug! I don't know if I should try to get a replacement or just wait it out for a new update to fix the issue. Anyone found a solution??

Post no 7 mentions a similar issue with the Asus zenwatch 2 as what you describe. So check that thread as well. I can't help much as my issue was constant whether it was listening to music or during a phone call.
Also I know if you get water in the speaker opening then the sound will temporarily go quiet but once it's dried then it will return back to normal.

When You are in a call - incoming - there is options on the call screen swiping up. There is Volume and others (dialer, mute, etc...). Try it!
Same problem here. The sound is so low, almost mute and crunchy. I'll contact to huawei for a replacement.
That normally happens when water has gotten in the speaker. I would wait till it's dried out and check again.
Even though the watch is water resistant there is a sort of chamber after the speaker grille that water will sit in before it's evaporated. It happens to me often when washing my hands.
Hi I know this thread is pretty old and I don't want to hijack this thread but I have a question. I want to buy a smart watch that has a good speaker for music. I've got two choices Huawei Watch and Gear s2 3G. Which one should I buy?
My voice sounds like crap on the other end. Garbled and cut up. I hear them just fine.
I do not have the problem on speakerphone.
If i block the top microphone, I sound better on the other end.
I had this exact problem with the last LG device I had, the Nexus 5.
There were several threads about it at the time, but LG and Google never fixed it.
Most people either just taped over it or edited a setting in build.prop to disable the second mic.
Anyone else? I really don't want to have to return it and move on.

You have no issues with your speakerphone? My speakerphone sounds like crap, if the volume is too high it gets the tinny distortion. Sad thing this was also the same of the display in the Verizon store and my friends XL 2 as well. I've made a few calls and so far no complaints.

I'll have to pay attention to that to see. Most of my testing so far has just been leaving voicemails for myself

When making calls with the speaker phone after 50% volume is when you can start hearing the tinny distortion.
Any solution to this ?
Iam having real trouble with mic if i change the angle even a little during call .. other person isnt hearing my voice
If i cover the top microphone .. its fine..
It is very agressive voice cancellation ..
How to switch it off ?
Hi, for First sorry for my english. I have a problem. After many years of using iPhone im just migrate to Android for test. I bought note 10+ And everything seems ok, but when i call with someone i really dont hear them (Very low volume) but volume in call IS set to max. IT really pissed me off that device which price IS like Apple And i cant use IT for calls because of that volume. Is any solution for it?
the speaker if fairly loud in the phone, if you have it set to max and the sound is still low, I would get it looked at as it is likely a busted a speaker.
Music etc is Very loud but calls not
My note 10+ sounds adequately loud, louder indeed than other devices I have compared with, my daughter is an iphone user, and my wife uses a huawei one, my note sounds quite louder and better, maybe your device is faulty, take it to an authorized center, as it should be still within the warranty period to this very day

did you recently put the tempered glass protector on? If yes, maybe the UV adhesive block the earpiece.
