[Q] Milestone Volume Mod?

is there a way to boost the volume on my milestone?
I ahve good headphones with a mic, and the stereo audio isnt really the issue... I need the speaker-phone to be louder, because im often busy at work and unable to hold the phone, but still need to talk. I would just like to be able to hear my caller over all the noise. Also having the hand-set speaker be a bit louder would be cool too, but main concern is the speaker-phone.
I saw some mod on here that is only temporary, and it involves punching a code into the dialer & pushing some other buttons... i couldnt get it work.. because the instructions werent very clear.
-If you know of any way to boost the volume, please let me know.
-Thanks.

The Louder-Hack probably works...

[Q] Low Volumes

I purchased the HTC Inspire 4G exactly five days ago today primarily because it is hearing aid compatible. I think the phone has fantastic features and I really like it. However, the volumes are the worst I have ever heard on a cell phone. I am hearing deficient and I cannot hear this HTC when it rings. The volumes are turned to their max and still they are very low (both ring and notification). I have downloaded various ringtones and still the volumes are inadequate. I recently discovered that people that call me cannot hear me unless I use a headset for some reason. One would think that a cell phone which is hearing aid compatible would have volumes loud enough for the hearing impaired. I still have seven days to return this phone and I think it has to go unless I can find a solution to both problems. I have seen several places where people have flashed various ROMs to increase the volumes, but I am not interested in such a solution since it will violate the agreement with AT&T. With so many intelligent people/developers on this site, can someone help?

Hey man, I highly recommend rooting and installing a custom ROM. Every one I've tried on this device has louder volume and it's a recognized issue with this phone in it's stock form. ATT always botches the software on HTC phones and the folks here do a good job of cleaning up their mess. AT&T will not know (I've done this with 5 HTC devices now) anything about your rooting shenanigans unless you send it in for warranty replacement and it still turns on. If the screen is broken or the display otherwise does not work then there is no way they can tell using the methods they check with. They just try to turn it on and if the bootup is different than stock that's when they get mad. if you need to return your phone after rooting and flashign for warranty repair, then there are threads here to unroot (just use the stock rom updater; it flashes stock rom and radio and kills root but not s-off, but getting s-on isn't hard either). Go ahead and root/flash per the instructions in the dev section. I recommend twopumpchump's optimized stock ROM for starters. I haven't had an issue with it so far. If and when you need to warranty exchange your device, just PM me and I'll find the proper threads for you.

The volume on the inspire is really low compared to other handsets. At this point, some custom roms do increase the volume but not by very much.
The calling problem is probably a defect with the phone.

Thanks guys, I really appreciate the responses. Well, although I did not want to root, it seems like my only option. I thought about returning the phone to AT&T and paying the $35 restocking fee and going to Verizon to buy the Thunderbolt, but after further taught, it doesn’t seem cost effective just for a front facing camera and a kickstand where the low volume might still be an issue. So, I will return the defective phone to AT&T since people can’t hear me on the other end and then root the new phone to increase the volume. Since this will be my first attempt at rooting and flashing a custom ROM, can either of you direct me to a link where I can lean the procession? I want to try twopumpchump's optimized stock ROM as recommended by DeathmonkeyGTX, but first I need to learn how to root and flash. Thanks!

Root and flash the rom in my signature. With volume issues from day one also, this solved them all!~

He's telling you to flash coredroid Rom located in the Dev's section.

CM7 Has an app called DSP manager which allows you to up the speaker volume. I set mine to a volume right before it gets so loud the speaker starts distorting and its perfect. I highly recommend cyanogenmod. Its what I used on my Nexus One, and its what im using on my inspire now!

Which will help with his call issue but not with the notification volume. I really miss the volume that my N1 had on CM7. This phone is great except that its so quiet.

No. It increases the external speaker volume too.

The only walk around I have found for notification loudness without flashing another rom has been to use a louder sound. Either made myself or found one. With the rom I am using I have to turn the volume down on notifications!

I can confirm. I found the volume to be very low coming from an iPhone 4. I downloaded the "8-Bit" sound pack from HTC Hub and found that most of these were significantly louder than the other options. I set a few for my notifications and can hear the phone now when getting texts and emails.
Non rooted stock Inspire 4G.
Hope this helps others!

I am using the 8bit sounds too.

If you flash CoreDroid 5.1 you will be turning down the volume on your notifications and alarms, at least I did. Even speakerphone is louder. Revolution is another that I found works exceptionall well. I think Coredroid is a little louder and clearer.

HOX speaker volume gets very low until reboot

I've not seen anyone here mention this, but it's being discussed on other Android forums. Thought I'd post here on XDA in hopes that some of the more technical members of this forum might have some input or ideas.
I noticed one day recently that the Google Navigation voice was so low I couldn't hear the directions over the sound of my car's A/C, which I know had not been the case before. All volumes were at max. This continued for the rest of the day, and all ringtones and notification sounds were very low. IT was so dramatic, I just assumed the speaker went bad, and I was going to have to make an insurance claim over a defective phone.
I happened to reboot the phone that evening and instantly the speaker volume was 3-4x as loud as earlier that day. I thought it was a one-time thing, but now realize that this happens 3-4 times a week. I'll notice I can't hear any of the notification sounds very well, reboot the phone, and all is well.
Except, this is a pain in the @ss to have to reboot constantly!
Has anyone experienced this? I thought I would recognize a pattern, like some app I use regularly or something, but nothing seems to make sense... seems very arbitrary, but aggravating nonetheless.
As I said, this is being talked about on a lot of the other HOX forums, but I haven't seen it mentioned specifically here. I almost want to say it started after the AT&T update last month, because I never noticed it before that. I'm on stock AT&T HOX, not rooted, and only a handful of the 'regular' popular apps. I don't even have music on the phone, nor have I ever used earbuds with it.
Very frustrating!

I have had the exact same thing happen, no clue why though.

I started a thread awhile back. Mine does the sane as well.. pissed..hope its software issue

Same here, I'm leaning towards it being a software issue due to a reboot always fixing it.

What ROM are you on?Custom or Stock?Any mods done to the phone?I had the same issue with the phone volume being to low on a custom rom, until I went into recovery to wipe cache/dalvick and everything was good/loud again.

I can vouch for this solution. I had the same issues on my HOX when I installed a custom ROM.
In the "Special Notes" section of the CleanROM v4.1 notes, it states:
Volume may be quite. If so wipe cache's and reflash the ROM. Volume should be loud again.

Hopefully it's as simple of a fix as this!!

I'm completely stock, no custom ROMs, not rooted.

I have the same problem, stock and rooted. I recently started noticing it. It didn't always happen to me.
I do use Tasker to put my media volume all the way down once i exit my car. Then I use Elixr 2 to put all my volumes to high once I use my "home" profile. I think it might be cause of that. Since I've stopped using exlir to raise the volume, I haven't noticed the issue. But I have restarted my phone every 2 days recently for another issue so it is possible that I am fixing it each time before the symptoms start to occur

Has anyone found a permanent solution to this? It's my only gripe. I have tried two sense roms. I love HTC camera so I don't want asop. Volume plus doesn't help when volume drops off.

Still no fixes yet? I was using the phone with Navigon Satnav app and it is impossible to hear any voice directions.

Do you hear a difference between when it's low and then restarting your phone and trying it again?

Mine never fixed after rebooting. I'm on my third One X now from bad speakers.

I can't detect any difference and if there is it is too small to detect. I tried to amplify the sound with Volume+ and there is no detectable difference. But if I use the speaker for a call, at maximum volume, it is really really loud so the speaker is definitely capable of more. But with Satnav GPS apps, at default settings, between the One X and my old Galaxy S2, there is a night and day difference

I too had these issues on replacement phone I got from att but it resolved automatically after few days
From beast called HTC One X

this problem causes due to an App, in my case previous version of Viber App caused all this issues....
hope you solve this prob

[Q] Blasting loud receiver volume on calls (CM10)

I am using CM10.
Does anyone know of an app to reduce the volume of the receiver (the person talking) on the S3? I think I read this is a known issue on CM10 ("stable" release). It's ridiculous. It's like it's on speakerphone.
There is no setting to enhance volume that I could uncheck - or anything related. At this point, I am just thinking I need an app to cut the volume until the Cyanogen people figure out a way to fix it. Using the volume rocker barely changes it.
(Other than this, I love CM10 but I might have to go back to stock just to drop this volume!)

ive got the same issues using CM10 stable on my Telus SGS3 (i747m).
Would love to be able to reduce the speakerphone volume, but there is no way at the moment. Anyone know anything about this? Even the CM team?

[Q] [2.3.6] Voice Muted During Call?

Hey,
When I answer the phone, or call someone, the other person cannot hear my voice, at all. It can work sometimes, but most of the time it does not. I have been unable to trace the common factor in the problem, especially since the "Mute" option can still be toggled, as though it were not already on.
The only fix I have found is to put myself on speakerphone. Once I do this, the other person is able to hear me correctly.
I am currently running Aeon v1.4 on my Samsung Infuse 4G (I997).
Can anyone help me out with this problem?

It is common to need to toggle the speaker on/off on the first call after flashing a GB Rom with voodoo lagfix.

I first flashed the ROM in mid November, and the voice only goes through while speaker is on, not after it is toggled.
Also, since flashing my ROM and switching to Aeon, I can no longer use speed dial. Anytime I go to dial the shortcut number, I get the invalid MMI code and have to manually type in the full number.
Thanks for your help, I hope I can get this figured out.
