How to fix inaudible call volume

Running stock 2.3.3. Even with call volume maxed out I can barely hear the person on the other end. I have tried with multiple calls to multiple people and get the same thing.
Anyone know how to fix this problem?
Anyone experienced something similar?

i have that problem, i tend to use speaker more. hopefully a mod comes soon

I'm running CM7 RC1 with Voodoo kernel, not sure if the Voodoo sound patch has any part in this, but the volume on my phone is quite loud when using Skype. But in a noisy environment, I'd rather use a pair of noise blocking earphone or headset.

Yea i can barely hear the other person as well. I dont know if its just in my head but it almost seems like it started after the 2.3.3 update

During a call turn the volume down and then back up. When you turn it down you won't notice much difference but you will when you turn it up again. It seems that the volume settings thinks it's at max when it isn't and you need to reset it by turning it down.

Hmm ill give that a shot

Could be your service provider too.

Don't think so. The same issue was present with the N1, kernel developers implemented an audio boost feature that really helped this issue out. Hopefully we will see the same for the NS soon enough.

I would LOOOOOVE for an audio boost similar to the N1 to be implemented for the NS.

[Q] volume of the front speakers? Help please
hello all
does anyone know the phonecodes for the nexus s (service mode)? I want to increase the handset (speaker to the ear)!
in the galaxy s, he is **#*#197328640#*# but not work
nexus s CM7 netarchy 1.2.7
sorry for my bad english

does anybody know how to raise the volume of the front speakers?

I'd like to do this also. Default max volume is too low, sometimes hard to hear what people say.

exactly!
It must be possible to increase the volume
with the voodoo kernel only the speakers on the back work

I have the same problems, in call volume is too low :-( and its not the provider because with my Galaxy S the volume is okay.

Phone speaker is quiet but with my bt earpiece I can get it loud enough to hurt my ears.

i don't know about you guys, but i have no problem hearing the call even in busy ( noisy ) streets environments.
using any of the 3 methods:
normal ear speaker
back speaker
BT headset
on 2.3.3 stock, no mods of any kind

temporarily solution:
During call set volume to min and then to max and then it's OK. After reboot problem is back.

this works

Only volume probs I come across 2.3.0-2.3.3 has been the other person's provider (att, Boost, Metro) so far.

Volume control in call

In every rom I've tried, the volume buttons don't work when I'm holding the phone to my head. Is this supposed to be like that? Anyone know of a way to fix this?
Also, is there a way to decrease the min volume, even the lowest is still loud.
Thanks

Speaker volume hack?

Not sure why this isn't. Bigger topic or why it hasn't been addressed. I'm sure I'm not alone when I say the speaker volume is disappointing. Any way to increase it? Volume control + doesn't work as it doesn't let you increase the volume past factory limitations. Voodoo sound is only for increasing headphone jack quality.
anyone?

Volume+ works for me as well nothing special has to be done I just go into the Speaker Settings, enable the speaker modifications and increase the volume level. I have no idea why you are having problems but there is no doubt that this app makes my phone much louder.

As it was said by the developer, volume+ will not work with a stock rom. Last time I looked, he said it will work with miui and cyanogenmod. Read the notes on the market and his website.

Enable speaker modifications? I can't find that setting at all within volume control +.

Okay, I'm running Pete's stock rooted 2.3.7. I just removed voodoo and installed volume+. It's working with both speaker and headphone. It is possible that having both installed, volume won't work. It is also possible that since I removed voodoo, volume is working. Increasing the volume limit, step by step, that the boost isn't easily noticeable. I don't suggest this without lowering the main volume from system first. After I got past 8 and around 11, there was a noticeable increase in volume with an increase of distortion too. Going from that level back down to 0, I noticed it right away.
I think the problem before was the increase was so slight when compared to voodoo that it didn't seem like it was working. I'm sure having voodoo installed, even though disabled, was keeping volume from working. Now when I get some time I gotta play with the eq and see what happens.
I prefer voodoo for headphones. It might be my imagination but I think it's cleaner sounding.

You are using the wrong app. Its called Volume+ there is no control in the name.

This is the app we're talking about:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12599609#post12599609
If you're on CM7 or alike you must first use Titanium Backup to remove DSP manager because it will interfere with it.
If you're on stock, use "best quality" setting on the latest version. That's the only one which seems to make a difference when changing the level but only on stock ROM.

I just discovered why it seemed like the eq wasn't working. If you have volume+ at 0, you won't hear any changes in tone when playing with sliders or presets. You need to get the volume level of the app up to a noticeable level, then you will hear a difference with tone and dsp. The developer even said in his FAQ that volume+ is software controlled and voodoo is hardware controlled. Kinda like the difference between hardware and software decoding when watching movie files.

Equalizer by smart studios it works on music, headphones etc

Volume+ (APP)

After going through a dozen [non-working] volume boosting apps, I finally found one that worked on the Skyrocket.
It has several settings: speaker, headset, bluetooth, in-call (this setting requires root).. I've tested both ends of the spectrum, and it has boosted or lowered my volume greatly.
So if you are in the market for a volume boost, check out Volume+. I will verify that this works on the SGH-I727.

Edit....no effect at all on buoyancy
Speaker headset or bluetooth
Thanks! Previously i have tried that app on other devices but it no workie
Will check.it out again

Did you get the paid version? That's what i have and i did a make shift test to see if it worked..
I had a microphone that was held to my phone and i played a test sound with no boost and with a boost.. There was a 6 bar difference.
It works for me.

What rom.

NeXuS MOD 2.0 ATTUI. Works as described for me. I work in a noisy environment and i struggle with hearing my incoming messages, but now i hear all of them.

The difference may be the Bra via engine in buoyancy....

Hyperdrive RLS3 volume track skip ?

While its not a dealbreaker, I was wondering if others are able to advance tracks in pandora with the volume rocker. Of 6 ROM's ive tried saying they have this feature working only 2 have actually worked for me. Is this something I am doing incorrectly?
