In call volume slider not working :(((

Using WM6 Vodafone v1520. And as the headline says, when in call, the volume slider has absolutely no effect whatsoever. I can only hear the ticking of the slider (or watch it move up/down) but it doesn't affect the volume level of the earpiece. If I switch to speaker phone the speaker phone slider works just fine. Have searched for solution for this topic but apparently I am the only sucker with this problem. Have done hard resets but no luck.
If anyone has come across any solution for this, please help.
EDIT: Forgot to mention that I have tried changing all the registry keys that I've found but also no luck.
Thanks.

I am having same problem V1520 owner aswell.
I believe due to hands free problems that the bluetooth stack is rubbish not sure if that is part of the problem, including radio version.

hi there,
i have the same problem, do you have any solution?

Nope. And VF basically told me to ...
You know what I mean.
ASUS warranty should cover it though.

yet more bluetooth...
I have the same issue, I get around it by using the volume control on my bluetotth earpiece. Beyond that there seems to be no other way.
Also having issues trying to get BT keyboards to work.

I don't use BT earpiece currently. I thought about it but the idea still feels strange to me... Gonna consider it once I start using the phone.
Thanks for the information tho

UPDATE:
After arguing with ASUS support for two months I was able to get an upgrade to firmware for 45$. I haven't yet got the device from the service, I will on Monday but they told me that in-call volume is now adjustable and working. Hope everything else is still working
Good luck.

Speaker too silent

Hi guys! Has anyone experienced not very loud speaker while calling? Whe you are making a call you have to put volume to highest level to hear at least something. I don't have a Raph yet but I'm hearing this from multiple people. Can someone please write me how is he/she happy with the phone's speaker (the one you put to your ear when making a call) loudness?
Thanx

Hopefully the other people have actually taken the Screen Protector that comes on the device whilst in the box off and replaced it with the separate one provided. The protector provided has the necessary holes for the sound to come out so you can here.
With that done, the sound on mine is more than sufficient and I can get away with 60-70% volume in a London street.

Well that's a good news. Thank you for the response!

It has nothing to do with the screenprotector.
I have both devices side by side and called to my voicemail on the same number and the phone speaker on the Raphael is definitely not as strong as the one on the Diamond.
I have a hard time deciding which device to keep as speaker volume is important to me.
But the volume on the Diamond speaker is much higher than on my previous devices as the Touch, TyTN II, etc.
Hope HTC issues a ROM update to increase the volume as the hardware should be identical

Hi,
I'm having the same issue with the speaker compared to my TyTN II, hopefully there will be a fix..
Michaël

Same here.
Loudspeakervolume is really low... :-(
(compared to a Hermes, Diamond and TyTN II)
Maybe there is a Registryhack for changing this ?

Mogul had same issue, fix came fairly soon after launch

Mine is low and really sucks

I´ve the same problem. Someone try this app ?

This app doesn't work.
Can't load the driver.
Interestingly the volume and sound through the headphones is great, exactly the same as the diamond.
You should think, because the hardware on the 2 devices is the same it really is a software problem.
Is there a registry setting for the earpeace volume??

Doesn't work for me, dowloaded several other versions. Some of them craches my Touch Pro..

Low volume speaker and poor signal strenth problems
My phone speaker is also almost unusable on highest volume setting. Listening to music on the rear speakerphone is fine.
Tried doing a hard reset to see if Skype or another add-on program screwed up the software and no go -- still same problem!!
Second issue...I have the UK version of Raphael and am currently using it on ATT network in the USVI and signal strength is very labile and weaker than on a cheap phone when compared side by side. Could this be the radio software on the Quad band UK version or poor antenna on the Raphael.
Very disappointd with both poor sound quality AND poor signal strength.
Any and all thoughts and constructive comments welcome!
docclayton

Anothe quick note....called HTC support this am and they are NOT allegedly aware of this speaker problem.

This is almost making my device not usable... If they dont fix this asap I will get rid of the device

I think we should all call HTC support to make them aware of the speaker problem.
I will call them today, but they probably will tell me to send in the unit for repair or something like that.
:-(

Speaker problem
I confirm the same speaker problem. Unfortunately I can not hear the phone call. Music plays ok, but the speaker volume when receiving a call is incredibly low. Any solution?!?

Can anyone boost the FM radio volume through the earphones?

Please, my eyes bleed from reading in the forum, but as far as I can tell noone has succeeded...
I am looking for a tweak or cab or ROM or anything that can boost the audio output of the FM radio through the earphones!
I have tried everything and nothing works.
It is important to me because I ride motercycles and I want to be able to listen to the radio.
Thanx to everyone for the great work you are doing here!

Link
And you might search for a lesson in googling as well
I ride a motorcycle as well, and I think listening to the radio while riding a bike is just outright dangerous. But that's just me

Ouaou thanks! You are great!
But none of these work.
Audiopara increases all the sounds except the radio through the earphones. I have tried it.
If you could use your skills in helping people rather than making fun of them you would be much appreciated.

currently no one has been able to increase the vol on the FM radio i think that it is more of a hardware limitation than software, i could be wrong and yes all volume boast cab, and audiopara files does not work on FM Radio, i guess we got to to wait and see

I guess a setting in audioparam3.cvs can change volume for FM raido.
Some version of Energy ROM has very low FM volume and very loud mp3 volume but it has been improved a lot.

Thank you both for the answers.
So flywhc are you saying that if I change ROM, since I am currently using ENERGY, the radio might be louder?
Because the stock ROM was equally low volumed as ENERGY ROM

I believe it is related to some settings in the ROM so some ROM has louder volume some has lower.
I guess settings are written in audioparam3.cvs

You should consider one of the Bluetooth helmet headsets, like the Parrot SK4000, or the Cardo Scala Rider with Radio.
I have the Parrot and it is awesome...

Thank you, but its a rather expensive solution, although much safer...
Besides I use 3 different helmets, according to what I am driving and the outside tempereture and weather, so it would be a lot of trouble to adjust the bluetooth to another helmet every time!
I tried itech clip radio bluetooth that was cheaper but it was impractical and had a very poor sound quality.
After all apart from me many would benefit if someone could come up with a solution.

search this forum and play with that audioparam3.csv you may get a solution.
alternatively you can change a better 3.5mm earphone. I am using SonyEricsson w series phone earphone. It has much better quality and loud. It may be dangerous for driving because it blocks noise!

Thank you. I started messing with audiopara and I will see if I can make anything out of it.
I also use 3.5 mm earphones. Sennheiser, noise canceling also!(I know it is stupid and dangerous, but I am addicted!)

Thank you! I started messing with audiopara and I will see if I can make anything out of it.
I also use noise cancelling earphones (senheisser). I know it is stupid and dangerous but I am addicted!

Thank you. I have started playing with audiopara but my hopes are down...
I also use a noisecancelling set (sennheiser). I know it is dangerous and stupid but I am addicted!

Double speaker mod

Its possible to add another 2 speaker to the tablet?
Space isnt a problem, i mean, its possible? did anyone tryed?
As all speakers works with + and -
its just easy to cut wires and split for another 2 speakers more
obviusly will consume more battery and of course will need more space
but its possible without ruining my tablet¿
(speakers pulled from old hp dv6 laptop)

I would read about impedance and what happens when you connect speakers in paraellel as you are likely to over work the hardware trying this.

these speaker i have are 4ohm independance but theres no info about gtablet speakers :S
do you think if i connect in paralellel i will blow out they? (four speaker)

mike240se is correct.
Not only that, but those 4 ohm speakers are going to be the worst you could add.
I never looked at the imp. of the speakers in the G-Tab, but these small speakers are usually higher impedance.
If you attach 2 additional 4 ohm speakers, you will mostly hear only them, that is if it does not damage the output circuitry.
Get a nice set of Bluetooth, or wired amplified speakers, it will sound much better, it is much easier, and there is much less chance of damaging your G-Tab.

I'm guessing you want to do this to hear better...? Just download one of the million volume boosters? I use Volume+ the paid one, its great.

If you play something that's already really loud with everything maxed out, maybe. If you use common sense, then no lol. Doubling it makes half volume into full volume and beyond that is above 100%. I usually use it around 130%, but there are times with something like netflix were its so quiet I max it out to 200%. Its harmless. Any issues will be very audable. If its too loud, youll hear it crackling(badly, a small amount of distortion is normal) and such. Realistically I don't think you'll have an issue, just go by ear, if its loud enough to hurt the speakers, itll sound like crap and youll know right away.

In response to both of your posts, flash the teamdrh JB rom, it is really stable for an alpha, and for some reason, it is really LOUD!!!

I have already downloaded Jb teamdrh rom, but since i dont have full root access, titanium backup cannot backup anything
its there any other option to backup my applications?
i cant access to system even mounting usb trough cwm

try appmonster. But, i dunno if it will work. What I do know is if you use applanet, the downloaded apks are in the applanet folder. If you use google play store, then set your rom to backup your account and automatically restore, then after you flash a new rom, you can just restore your apps from online?? I think this is how it works, but I have never let google into my life that much!!
***a quick google search reveals that appmonster needs no root! so try it.

[Q] Skyrocket Low Earpiece Volume Question

My Skyrocket has always had low earpiece volume. It sounds normal until I get in a noisy environment, then I have to press my ear totally against the phone which barely helps. My wife's Galaxy s2 i777 has louder volume and doesn't have this problem. I have tried all the available roms for my device to no avail. Is this normal for this phone, and if so, is there anything I can do to fix this problem? Any app that will work? I love this phone as it meets all my needs except for the volume. Thanks for your help!
edit: i bought this phones 2 months ago from Ebay. I researched it before i bought it, but the main issues others had with the skyrocket was the battery life with LTE. Well, the battery life has been great after custom rom, But the volume is terrible. I first thought i was sold a defective phone but then i found out that others had the same problem, but no solutions. Even all the volume boosts apps that work on other phones (for reasons WAY above my pay grade) do not work on our skyrocket.

...Anybody?... I know this problem of low earpiece volume is common with the skyrocket and has been brought up on many different forums, but I have not found anyone who has found a way to resolve the problem. Any help or direction would be appreciated. This trouble exist with both stock and custom roms.

still no answers?...sigh...

Well, I have replaced the earspeaker and the problem still persists. To clarify, the speaker is not as low as it was when Beanstalk 4.4 was going thru its growing pains and the volume level dropped after one of the builds a month or so ago. It is just that standing outside with normal outdoor sounds (occasional traffic, birds tweeting, outdoor noises) ihave to hold my ear directly against the speaker. I dont have that problem with my wife's s2 i777

Well, a month has passed with no replies. I have found that the volume level is good when using a headset to answer calls, so I have resorted to trying to be sure to carry earbuds with me. On the rare occasion that I dont have earbuds are the days I dread having this phone. As I us my phone for work, I need it to work as a phone first, and a smartphone secondary. As I stated before, I love the features of this phone, but there has to be a workaround for the volume levels. Maybe I'm just getting old and you young folks dont use the phone to actually speak to each other. Woah! Who let my dad in the room?!!? Anyway, Still looking for help. I am not asking which rom is better than another, but are there any roms that have louder volume levels? I have tried many here including Beanstalk, Dirty Unicorns, Liquid Smooth, Sultans CM 11...

Bean Stalk comes with am app called DSP manager which helps control volumes for bluetooth headsets. Give that a shot. It may just be your headset

The headset isn't the problem. The phone sounds great thru all the headsets that I have tried and thru the loudspeaker. The low volume level is when I am not using the headset and actually have to place my ear up to the phone(earpiece speaker). Its usable in normal areas, such as inside a room, but standing outside with normal background sounds like nature and light road traffic, I can barely hear the caller. I have to press my ear against the phone pretty hard, which usually ends up with accidental button presses and hangups.

Yeah, I was kinda hoping that maybe somebody discovered something that solve this. I don't know anything about programming, but I was thinking that back when beanstalk had those troubles with extra low volume, it was eventually fixed. And since he was able to boost the volume back to correct levels maybe it could be boosted just a little bit more. Or Since DSP works with bluetooth speakers and headphones and external speakers it seems like it would be easy to make it boost the earpiece volume. But I know that it is NOT easy...it may be impossible. If it was easy then there would have been a fix long ago. But a man can hope, can't he?
