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.

I sold my HD2 on Thursday and let me say first off that I have no regrets whatsoever: I absolutely love this phone. Before I sold the HD2 I played some music tracks on both devices through the loudspeaker and headphones jack and noticed a HUGE differential in volume.....I thought the HD2 speaker was pretty tinny but it was at least audible; the Desire speaker volume is incredibly underpowered...being practically inaudible in a moderately noisy environment. This problem seems to extend even as far as the headphones socket since some of the songs I was unable to play at full volume on the HD2 for fear of bursting my eardrums are simply not loud enough for me on the Desire.
Am I the only person to think the volume levels are too low? Is there perhaps a way to increase the pre amp levels. It's as quiet as the first generation iPhone which was REALLY BAD.
Any thoughts from anyone here?
Hi there - I've been searching online to see if anyone else has been having this problem and came across your post.
Had my Desire for a week now, and I love it. But the volume via headphones is WAY too low. Stupidly too low. I can't hear it on the tube at all, for example.
I was looking forward to using it - and Spotify, in partcular - as a replacement for my aging iPod. But there's just no way.
I can't believe this is common to every phone, as surely there would be more people complaining about it. Are there different firmware versions knocking about? It's got me pretty frustrated.
Ok this is not nice, speaker volume is very important to me. This is the first time I see somebody be this negative about it though...
Damn..
Further, you coming from the HD2, any more thoughts you want to share about the switch?
How is the 4.3 inch to 3.7 inch 'jump'?
Kind regards
Screen size is not a problem for me, colours are beautiful on the Desire and the screen seems note responsive. I tried using the HD2 for a day after getting the Desire and hated it bycomparison! Only massive annoyance though is that it is nowhere near as loud.
I suspect that people are still in their honeymoon period with the phone and that complaints will start to surface about the speaker volume in time. As far as I can recall all my other Android devices were a lot louder than this.
Don't have the device yet but in a video review the guy said the speaker was pretty loud, so it's probably only a software problem

Juste buy in-ear headphones ! your ear will thanks you, pushing the volume to 100db because the tube is masking noise : not a good idea believe me.
I too, coming from an iPhone, find the headphone volume painfully low.
I use an under speaker pillow to listen to podcasts without disturbing the wife, and on the iPhone she'd sometimes complain that she could hear it. Now with the Desire I find that sometimes I can't hear it and that's at full volume.
I know this is probably obvious but I take it you have gone through. Audio settings
And maxed the volume? And checked any volume controls on headphones? If both set to max
And still not loud then the handset is faulty so get it replaced
Now!!
Mine set to max would be at ear bleeding levels!!
The speaker quality isn't great, but considering I don't use them that much it is good enough for me.
Am a little surprised with the headphone issues, considering that I have my volume set just under halfway and it is more than loud enough for me.
I am using my Sennheiser earphones, but the volume is fine with the supplied HTC ones too.
what kind of bit-rates are you using for music? ... 128? or more, ... as the quality effects the loudness somehow I believe.
try experimenting with different bit rates and see how that goes

I think this might be due to new UE regulations about maximum volume in mobile devices, though im not 100% sure if its already in the system.
However Im pretty sure that in couple days/weeks there will be some hacks/apps/ to change that
So have I got a faulty phone?
Or are people just overly forgiving??
Everything is set to max. I've also noticed that the Mic quality in videos is also shockingly poor in terms of volume. I wonder if all of these functions are shared by the same chipset.
leoni, I'm having just the same problem. I think it must be a problem with some of these phones. I can't believe that people are just being overly forgiving.
I'm not looking to push the volume up too high, but if I can't hear it when there's a little background noise going on, then that's a serious design flaw.
I'd like to do a comparison with another Desire at some point, hopefully I'll bump into someone using one soon...
Just to answer some of the above questions/suggestions:-
I'm using MP3s in 256k bit rate format. All volume controls are set to max and there is no volume control on the headphones I am using.
I'm sending mine back. I'm due an upgrade on Monday anyway so I'll test one in the shop and see if It's the same. The headphone volume is the main issue for me; its just too low.
I also think that the volume is way too low. Just out of curiosity, could this be a Rom issue? I'm using the stock TMO Rom. To the people who think it's loud enough, which Rom are you on?
My biggest problem is with the volume through the headphones....speaker volume I can live with, though it is crap and tinny
I think this must be an issue on your phone or you expect it to be crazy loud. I swapped out my ipod for this today on a good set of headphones (AKG KE518LE's) and the volume levels seem identical. As for the speaker, i find mine is a tad on the loud side to be honest. I find myself having to knock it dont a few notches on the volume.

are you on TMO ROM?
Loud speaker isn't audible above the sound of my shower, which is a real shame as coming from a n95 8gb the loud speaker was great. Oh well. I'm a forgiving type!
I have found music volume to be pretty low but I'm fairly convinced it is a software/Rom issue because the volume in some applications is loud! Doesn't made much sense. Running T-mob here.
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.
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?
Cant use this phone to listen to music the sound is extremely low. Looked online for hours for a solution but it seems its designed this way. It is absolutely gross. I carry my old phone with me. Do not buy this phone if listening to music is somewhat important to you. I would totally return it if i didnt lose my box and hapily pay $35 restocking fee. If you know a solution to this obviously let me know. Thnx

Strange, tried this several times but it does nothing at all. Right back at the dialer again...
^ As said, tried the very same code on 2 different XA1 Ultra, not working. Even tried several apps which access the service menu, either crashes or says not supported.
Could this be because both devices are having unlocked bootloaders and rooted with custom recovery??
I hope that this will be resolved on updates, because I like this phone, and I'm thinking about buying it, but I need ring tones to be strong so I can hear well calls and notifications
Got my XA1 Ultra yesterday. The volume is very loud for me, not problems at all.

I guess it varies from device to device. I would not say the volume is low, but it could be more...
OP talking about headphone volume I assume? Max volume on mine (G3223) is fine and very clean sounding to me at max, although I'm no audiophile.. I guess I wouldn't mind just one more notch because I do like my music pretty loud, mostly been listening with Sony in-ear headphones (MDR-XB50AP), also tested a bit with my Sennheiser HD558s and they are very loud at max but I only tested in a quiet spot indoors, the Sony in-ears are my usual daily mobile headphones, also have an older pair of on-ear Sony (MDR-ZX100) which I tested briefly and they are noticeably quieter but they are pretty low end on-ear headphones so not surprising.
Hi there,
I have a question for you and I hope I am in the right place. If not, I very sorry and tell where to post correctly.
In late May I have realized my 5T was making a buzzing/electronic sound through the earpiece (which was very annoying during phone calls). I have sent it to repair twice and I had the same issue. Then I just realized that this buzzing / electronic sound was coming from the internals of the device. I can clearly hear the sound through the back panel, especially when the WI-FI is turned on. So they changed the phone twice and I still have this sound coming out of the internals. I asked some colleagues to listen to it and they can hear it through the back panel, although they can not hear it through the earpiece. For them will not be an issue during phone calls in silent nights, but for me, it is . I know there are electronics inside and they should make a noise, but this noise becomes annoying in phone calls and it's not only a background noise. They may issue a refund.
So my question for you is: have you ever experienced that? Do you hear that sound? Can you please try it and see if you do (WI-FI turned on, a quiet room like hallways, bathrooms, bedrooms at night might be more suited for listening)? Are there any other flagships or phones that make this weird sound that can be heard through the earpiece?
And the second question for you is: what is the best option to replace 5T with? I am from Bucharest, Romania, so phones like Pixel 2 XL are harder to find, and some of the phones are usually 100-150€ more expensive than their USA/UK counterparts. Is it Honor Mate 10 Pro outdated? Is it Pixel 2 XL worth it so much? is Huawei P20 or Pro good enough? Is OP6, even without fingerprint gestures, a good enough experience to be a very good buy?
Well, there more than 2 questions and I really hope I didn't bother you too much with this article.
Kind regards and thank you very much for replying,
Raresch
It should come from the fingerprint reader, AFAIK this is an "issue" for every op5t. Not annoying at all.
Yes i can confirm that. It is not anoying and sound don't appear durning calls at all.
