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

[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

[Q] Help - Terrible in-call volume

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?

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

still not working :/

[Q] Help Incall Volume is Very Low

Is there a hack/app or a way to increase volume past maximum incall volume i can barely hear. I have a tried a few apps but no luck i have read numerous post and i haven't found a answere. Any tricks, tips, apps???

Setup a Volume during a Call
What type of ROM do you have now?
Depending to your software, I can try to help you...
Do you try to setup volume values in
Settings -> Sound -> Volume ???
and during a call you can try to PUSH the buttons on the right side of cellphone UP and DOWN controls is used to increase/decrease volume...
try this and tell me...

I have tried all sound setting on the phone im running Cronos Ginger X 1.7.0.

Try to test another rom...
Try to put another ROM like as Bravo 1.9...
Cronos does not have more updates... (I used for a few days...)
I test every roms of this forum for XT720 and the bravo does not have very much problems with the phone...

I don't think its the rom this has carried over to every rom i have tried. Stock, cyanogenmod 6.3. I just flashed over to 7.2. Is there a way to increase past where its set now? Speaker might be bad not sure.
