[Q] help, problems with phone call

hi everyone, please help me, my htc Inspire has a little problem with the phone calls:
first the volume is to high even in when i put in to minimum, even higher that speaker.
second, the person on the other side of the call does not listen to me, only listen his own eco.
i have literally press all the buttons to try to fix it, but it does not work, please help me.... thanks

Is your phone running the stock rom, or one you've flashed into it?

hi, is the stock, non flashed...

Try flashing new radio

i will try it, but i don't thing it will solve the volume problem; also when i make a call, it doesn´t sound until i press speaker button, then i press speaker button again and then it sounds from from where it is supposed to, but with high volume, and the other person, only listen eco from himself...
thanks

Make sure TTY mode is off
Settings>Call>TTY Mode. It's for the hearing impaired. I had a similar issue with my headset:

If TTY was checked, you might try restarting or soft resetting the phone after un-checking.

in fact it was unchecked, but i will UN-check and i will restart this now...

nop, anything works.... somebody knows what`s happening???

Might try an email to HTC Support. I used them once and they responded within a day. Google it for the site.

Anyone used volume+ (sound boost)?

My handset and speaker volume is pretty low.

Yes it force closes I've sent dev a alogcat

any other options for us?

There's an option in call settings for "Hearing aids" that says it'll bump up in-call volume. Haven't used it yet, so I don't know how well it works.
Granted I'm guessing it's -only- for phone calls, so for music/video playback I don't have an answer for you unfortunately.

Do you mean the speaker is as low as other HTC?
I thought it will be better than DHD and N1...

volume sucks
Low volume is one of the issues that bugs me with Sensation. The ring volume is low even at max and volume trough headphones is way too low.
This needs to be addressed by HTC ASAP in their new ROM.

The Stock music app has a feature called "SRS enhancement" It helps with the sound quality tremendously! It can be used either while listening to music or with the stock video player.

I've had good results from an app called Equalizer.

I changed the hearing aids setting and it has helped a lot for calls.

The "hearing aid" option does help out with the volume not just for calls but all other audio output as well. I guess I must be hard of hearing (by HTC's standards) because I really don't understand why the phone had such a low volume setting to begin with.

Well let's hope the Volume+ developer get it to work with the Sensation. I Just send him an email....

Hearing Aid is annoying because it doesn't help with speakerphone AND you can't lower the volume!

I installed volume+ today and it makes huge difference in sound quality
I think it is now supportable to HTC sensation
Thanks to its developer

Volume + Updated and I must say.......

This app seems to be solving the issue with a low volume notification speaker. I find that the VR settings works the best and I notice a SIGNIFICANT difference.
volume+.apk 1.7.0

What are the appropriate settings? Like an average level boost?

I'm playing with it now. So far VR just gives a super tinny distorted sound. My preference for speaker is EQ on treble boost, bass enhance on +4 and volume level @ +8 for SRS. For ringtones I have it set to eq=goodquality, bassenhance=+3 and Volume=+8.
Stock ringtones don't require any fine tuning and sound pretty good regardless of setting but if you use music files with vocals you're not gonna be happy without playing around to find your preference. You're going to want to keep bass low no matter what with this speaker.
I haven't messed with the settings beneath that which seem to be fine tuning eq controls.

Link for those who had to go look for it. (Like I did)

I believe that is warez, because i just paid for volume+ yesterday..

Not warez. Volume+ is free on the dev's website, it supposedly has less features than the market version...

I saw that option as well, but I figured I'd pay for it if it worked, which it does...well.
I have no problems paying for it. The dev worked hard to get this working and out on the market for us impatient hard hearing owners lol....

Oh ok, my mistake.

Ya this worked really well, i d/l the app from the site but ill go and buy this. Really big improvement when using speaker phone and on a call.

Can someone post the best setting for speaker phone volume for this app

still playing with the settings but works great so far.

I can't say that this works for speakerphone. I see the sound differences when playing music and ringtones but there is absolutely no difference on a call.
When on a call in speakerphone, try turning bass up and down, volume up and down etc. You will see it doesn't respond to anything.

Just wait for the volume mod from the evo3d to get released for the sensation. Unlocking may come first though.

The download file is a ZIP file and there is no apk in there. Can someone please guide me on how to install Volume+

Just rename the zip file from zip to apk.(VolumePlus1.7.0.zip to
VolumePlus1.7.0.apk)

Awesome Thanks, works like a charm now.

perhaps the developer got a wind of it and changed it but I just downloaded it and it's a APK file.

I have to disagree. My wake alarm which uses the speakerphone was pretty low as the app setting was to read on loud. After upping the speaker and headset settings to the max volume, it wasn't bazooka tube loud thump but it was loud enough to wake me up .

[Q] Skype sound is very very weak..

Hi
Anybody have issue with Skype on Asus Transformer Prime 1.7 Final ?
Somehow for me the sound is very very very very very weak even I am using head phone also very weak.
But all other apps and music working normal it just the left and right speaker is not balanced but again is really weak....is it just for my TF or other people also experiencing the same problem ?
Thanks.

Not to sound rude, but do you have both volume controls turned up?

Thanks for replying but I already try to increase any volume I can found by using the side volume rocker or using docking volume up and also try to search skype option but cannot found any volume configuration.
Btw sorry again as I remember I only do wipe all when I install prime 1.6 and when I upgrade to prime 1.7 I just install it without wipe all is that gonna be an issue ?
I am thinking do wipe all and re install everything from scratch if nobody having the same issue with me ^_^.
Again thank you very much for your help.
ok In progress wipe all and re install everything again, if it fix my problem will update here again ^_^
ok finish wipe all data and also wipe cache partition ( thats the only wipe option I can found on recovery ) and after that.....still the same issue I already set all volume to max and yet my skype voice call is still whispering T_T but all other apps and music and other games sounds is loud and normal T_T.

T_T just to ask again is there anybody out there using their Transformer for skype voice call and their sound is good loud n clear ? because mine is really whispering I dont even can hear the call tone if my ear distance to transformer more than 5 cm .......

You can use gtalk or fring, i have the same problem with skype but on the other two platforms, it's all ok, good sound, good quality.

finally thats the answer i am waiting, so my TF is normal its skype issue.
Thank to confirm that. Btw I already try to wipe all 2x hahaha. Thx again Ademaren

I'm also using Prime and have the same issue with sound. The sound output with skype is just extremely low! I also have a kernel with voodoo support and it didn't help.
Did anyone find a solution for this issue?

volume control + from the market seemed to do the trick for me.

This solved my problem!
I saw that I had the volume for calling muted and the ring volume was also on leve 1 or 2.
Thanks

Good settings for volume+

Hello fellow HTC sensation owners
As you might know, the sound on the sensation isn't very high. That is why you can get the app called Volume+ . With that you can adjust some settings and get higher and better sound. I got some setting that will do that so follow this:
This is in speaker settings.
Speaker Modifications (on(of course))
Virtual room effect (on)
EQ settings ( Good quality)
Volume Level(15)
Bass level(8)
Virtual room (3)
Low: 200
Low/mid: 168
Mid: 136
Mid/high: 34
High: 96
Volume level:15
Bass boost: 15
Echo/delay level: 1
These are the settings, I hope it helped your experience. I've tried it with headset settings as well, and it seems to help. If I helped remember to hit the THANKS button

Volume level 15?? that would be dangerous.. Thanks fire settings.. Will try it ...

Volume + works on my S4G but the app doesn't seem to run in the background at phone start up. I just click on the app icon then hit home button so it runs in the background then, but it does work for me.

I have tried this app before... Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I can gather it artificially boosts the volume, it doesn't make the phone properly louder.
When a quiet part of a song is playing the app boosts it, but when something really loud is playing, it stays loud, it doesn't become louder since the hardware is already pushed to the max. This way music gets distorted :\
But if I missed something and this app actually somehow "adds more volume", please tell me, since I could use more volume

Volume+ works fine on my Senny.
I'm working with an older built though. (1.7.3 I think...)

I would play a song, then open Volume+ with the song playing and as you make adjustments in Volume+ you can hear the changes happening. Works just fine for me

I tried your settings so far it hasnt killed it

are you guys having any success increasing in-call volume? Not really working for me on arhd sense 3.0 or 3.5.

not working..help pls
