I've made a few Skype calls on my phone (admittedly to the same person) and there is always this really bad background hum. Anyone have a similar experience or fix?
Nope no hum on my phone. Are you using a headphone or speaker?
Nope. Just the built in speaker and microphone.
hmmm im using version 2.5.0.160 and im using the loud speaker (back).
I'll try and check it out later, thanks man.
Could be the screen. Try 100% brightness. Lcds are known to make sound when brightness is limited

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?

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

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.
Sent from my MattedBlues CM7 Nexus S from the XDA Premium app.
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.

Only volume probs I come across 2.3.0-2.3.3 has been the other person's provider (att, Boost, Metro) so far.
Just wanted to check if it's just me or are there other forum members also experiencing the similar issue of speakers just not being loud enough???

Have you enabled dts feature when using the stock music player? Also it depends if the audio file volume was upped correctly when it was mixed. It plays real loud for me even when dts is not activated. Also think about ambient noise in the background when you are playing music

for me it's speaker, not speakers... I can only hear sound coming out of one speaker... I guess the other one is the mic... and yes I can barely hear mine too
Thanks Dude. Got it. It was the DTS function that was off.

Best way to try it - call your voicemail, and put it on loudspeaker .... mine is loud like a mother cracker
Only the right bottom speaker on mine and 3 other test units seem to be working called my LG Rep and his is the same but its supposed to have stereo speakers as per lg

ok
just got the 32gig card today putting mucis on it now but that wont help videos . but if it helps on this it can be made to work on video player or get teh programs off a slate dump since i guess tehy left teh apps off the g2x.
So if one of the speakers not working, then is it a defective unit? Only my right one works and the left one doesn't.
Left one is a microphone. Wow too many people are wondering about this.

I have been told by a few people I have called, that I sound like I am on a speaker phone or sound hollow or tinny. Has anyone else been told this? I would just like to know if this is common or if my phone is bad.
Some people say that they can hardly hear me, but when I have noise cancellation on they say it sounds perfect.

Thanks I will give it a try.
Do any of you guys use this? The low speaker is started to frustrate me like crazy. Can barely hear calls on speakerphone even when all the way up, and I have to turn the volume all the way up to even be able to hear youtube videos and sounds in games. It's pathetic. Will the volume+ app fix this? And what setting do you use? I'm just looking for it to be a little louder and not blow the speaker.

People do use it.
There's also Equalizer in the Market which is what I use.

Does anyone have problems with call quality making crackling and popping sounds during phone calls? But when on Bluetooth it doesn't happen. Anyone have the same issue? Or can they shed any light on a solution?
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda premium
it's a known issue with wi-fi calling and skype is effected too. shouldn't be happening with mobile calls, however. t-mobile and htc are about to release a patch for wi-fi calling battery drain so there's a hope they'll silently fix the crackling too.

Not so much popping sounds but everyone (without using wifi calling) sounds really buzzy and shaky to me. i have to turn my volume all the way down for it not to hurt my ears. waiting on tmobile to finally send me a replacement but theyre taking forever.
Getting ready to buy
But, used 2 different phones in stores--one at Mall
Wife said the tmobile store one was like a landline call--perfect
And the VERY noisy MALL one had barely discernible backround noise. I heard part of my call when I got home on my answering machine before she picked up. Hardly noticeable.
And the outgoing ringing while calling is crystal clear, unlike my N1 that is choppy.
Hope that helps a little--
Well another problem I have just started having is my WiFi calling dropping and my screen locking up while some one beeps in and I click to answer and what you know I can't hang it up or anything. Anyone else? When do they plan to release a patch?

havent tried wifi calling, but regular calling is perfect for me. no problems there even with a poorer signal

Hi, I also have problems with the call quality (crackling and popping sounds, but not only). I noticed that it is better when I use only 3G, not GSM or Auto(GSM/3G). But Im not 100% sure. I also noticed that it gets worst when I turn on the speaker. I also changed 2 phones with different S/N... same problem. It is not the Operator-Problem because my old HTC Diamond make no problems at the same place... Ill be thankful, if anyone can do the same test with the 3G and GSM-switching. Thanks
Mine only happens when on WiFi
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda premium
Anyone with the same problems and already tested the method with the 3G?
I received my replacement one s due to call quality issues and the new one is even worse. everyone says i sound like im in a tin can as my voice is SUPER muffled. they can hear when i start and stop talking but the words just arent sharp enough to hear anything. wtf is going on with this phone?
does anyone have any tips for this? i already rooted this new phone so id rather not unroot and relock the bootloader just to get another dud =/

Interesting. I noticed this just the other day. I get the popping noises with Skype and Wifi calling only as well.
GSM calling is unaffected for me.
As for battery drain issues, is that referring to the fact that when you connect to some wifi it will just hang at Wifi Calling "Connecting" and not let you disable it? Because "dat **** cray".
mine is opposite
phone calls are fine, but when on BT it is tinny and some echo--dissappointing, but liveble--
The Wi-Fi call quality is decent on my 1 week old HTC One S. However, the audio quality on Skype is so bad that it's un-usable.
I connected a headphones and I still hear a staticy noise it isn't the speaker so what can it be starting to get to me

I just flashed the LeeDroid 2.0 rom and audio is now perfect for me--so says wife on other end--
Weird
Hi,
I experience the same problem. Sometimes the call quality is very bad with cracking sounds, also when using GSM/3G/UMTS.
But I found out something very interesting. I installed an app for call recording in order to be able to demonstrate how bad the call quality is. I was very surprised when I found out that the call quality is actually much better when I use the app to record the call! Only when I turn down the volume during the call, the quality gets worse again. This is behaviour is reproducable. How weird is this? Of course I don't want to record each phone call just to get better call quality. However, this proves that it is an software issue.
I would like to know if this also works for other people that experience the call quality problem. Anyone willing to try out? The app is "Call Recorder" from "Appstar Solutions". I am using version 3.14. The app is free.
Cheers!
