Hey there,
is there any possibility to turn up the volume when calling someone and having the phone directly to your ear? For me the volume is very low even when turning it to the max. I'm using richardtrip kernel (even tried audiomod) with djdroid 2.1 (sense rom) on my desire.
Thanks!
Nobody problems with quiet speakers?
Yeah, I have problems as well. I would love to know a fix for this.

Hi all,
Yesterday I have upgraded my father’s HTC touch pro, for the latest official ROM (it had the one that it came with which was 1 year older then the latest release).
I now have 2 problems that my father is complaining about. He works in noise sensitive places and he needs to turn off as many sounds as possible.
There are 2 sounds I was not able so far to turn off.
The sound when the Phone turns ON (the shot HTC symbol sing and sound, when you turn on the phone)
And the sound of increasing and decreasing the volume (when you use the side volume keys, it beeps once every time you increase or decrease the sound).
Please help me turn them off.
THANK YOU ALL FOR HELP.
PS: After some more research we were able to find the solution to the sounds, and disable them in windows.
Folks,
On my HTC Sensation, the in-call volume is so low that I can hardly hear the caller. I always have to switch to the speaker.
My in-call volume is set to max.
I think this happened after htc-sync upgraded the OS version to 2.3.4. My wife has exactly the same model but she does not have this problem. Her phone has not yet been upgraded.
I called HTC. They tell me that it is a known issue and to check back with them periodically. A lame answer:-(.
I would appreciate it if anyone has any idea on how to get my in-call volume back.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Regards,
Peter
i'm experiencing the same low in-call volume, so i rooted my device and installed the leaked HTC Sense 3.5 ROM and it's better, but not where i want it to be. i also flashed the TMOBUS (T Mobile US) rooted stock ROM and it has a HAC (Hearing Aid Compatible) feature that significantly boosts in-call volume, but you cannot adjust the volume. it's been my experience that volume boosts can be added to the kernel. i wish i knew how to do that... also, don't know if the source code has been released .... wish i could offer more help!

that's not going to work... you have to tweak the kernel (or some other object) to boost in-call volume. (i would love to be wrong, but i tried that app already)
+1 on vol plus you can also trie mikes revolution 4.1 which is the 3.5 sense leak. volume was a major improvement. developement has just started on this leak but i ran it with no major problems

The APP does not affect the earpiece or call volume. Its only for the speaker and music.
Volume + has boosted ALL volume settings on my phone including speaker. My experience has been
that the app needs to be manually activated as it seems to not start up at boot or run in background.

Root your phone and use volume + or dsp manager. Works like a charm. My volume is LOUD

i agree that the program works with in-call volume settings, or the same setting that you can adjust while on a call. the program does not amplify - or boost - the in-call volume like one can by manipulating the kernel (or other objects) so that it's louder. this type of manipulation is like adding an power-amplifier to a home-theater AV receiver. the net effect: on my Inc S with a stock kernel, my in-call volume setting would be level 4 (of 5). using a kernel with audio boost, my in-call volume setting is 2 and at most 3.

I bought the paid version of volume + over the weekend and actually got it to boost/amplify my call volume tremendously.
My only problem now is my new Anker battery is being drained at abnormal rates as a result from using this app. A 20 minute call costs 20=30% of battery life vs. before the app was installed.
Obviously the CPU is getting a work out just running the app. I would think the increased voltage to the speaker would constitute as some kind of amplification like a home theatre system.
Has anyone else experience abnormal battery life as a result from usning this app?
Hi
Does anyone know if there's a way to further reduce the in-call volume on the Desire S?
Even at it's lowest setting I often find the volume in a call to be a little too loud for me.
Anyone know of an app to do this or some way to tweak the phone?
My DS is unrooted on stock 2.3.5 (sadly).
Thanks in advance.
Ben
I doubt this would be possible unless you replaced your kernel, even then I doubt any have this feature! Let me know if you do find a way, however!
And I would like to know how to raise max in call volume ?

That doesn't sound right. (Honestly no pun intended there. ) I seem to remember my stock ROM would go down to inaudible levels.
What could be happening, which I have encountered before, is the phone's G-Sensor calibration is shot, so the phone thinks it's always face down, and hence answers all call in loud speaker mode. This would be very loud held to your head!
Try going into: Settings> Sound> and deactivate 'flip for speaker' or something similar to that. (Sorry I'm not running a Sense ROM right now so can't remember the exact phrasing.)
If this drops volume levels back to comfortable levels then re-calibrate your G-Sensor, or leave the 'flip for speaker' setting off.
If not, and you have super-human hearing, the only other options would be;
Rooting the phone and using a custom kernel with volume tweaks
Using earphones with an in-line volume slider.
Stuffing cheese in your ears.
Any 3rd party apps will simply tap into the existing volume controls so I doubt they'll be of any help. You could give Audio Manager a go though....

really? lol, mine is sometimes too soft on max volume n loud areas
Mine is definitely too quiet. I had a T-Mobile branded one but currently runing Endymion on it. I red somewhere on the forum that many T-Mobile branded devices has low max volume settings but I though that custom kernel will solve the problem.
I've seem in many related thread, people suggesting using volume + to address the problem. There is an improvement to the speaker volume indeed but no difference to the in call volume or when using headphone (listening to radio for example)
Anyways, my questions is that is there absolutely no way of implementing a fix through kernel? Are the all the kernel devs not experiencing this volume issue? I remember back then when the HD2 was ported from windows mobile to Android, the volume was a problem too but it was eventually solved by the kernel fix. Can something similar be done for the sensation?
This is just a side note. I have another Desire HD and the sound is awesome. By comparing the back, the Sensation's speaker grill is much bigger too.
Just an FYI - In Volume+ there are settings for headsets and an In call setting - this one is in experimental
the volume + settling for speaker works fine, the setting for headset works when playing music of movie via stock media player. (haven't tried compare 3rd party media player) But when listening to stock radio, it doesn't make any difference.
just hope there will be a permanent kernel fix soon.
I've no idea where this belongs so I thought I'd go as general as possible.
Is there a way to match my notification/ringer volume with my media volume whenever headphones are plugged in?
I'm constantly deafened when I'm listening to music on low volume and a notification goes off full bore because I've forgot to turn them down. If I remember to turn notifications/ringer down then I tend to forget to turn it back up and l end up with missed calls because I plug the phone into computer speakers to play music and can't hear it ring.
I know the easiest solution to this problem is a good memory but does anyone know of a more reliable option?
Phone details if anyone cares
If it matters I'm using a Telstra HTC one XL (same as the one X on ATT) fully stock, unrooted on 4.0.3. I figured it was more of a general android thing which is why I posted it here. I'd definitely root for a fix but I'd rather not flash a ROM until CM10 or AOKP are almost 100%
Thanks guys!
