Hi Guys. I have an Asian HTC One S (S3 processor) with JB 4.1 installed. I am not on root or anything. When it comes to receiving calls or messages, the sound seems to be low. I checked the sound from the sound settings and everything seems to be on full. Anyone can help please? Thanks !!

There is actually a bug in htc one s s3 JB, that audio/sound starts coming from front speaker (called earpiece) instead of rear speakers.
Many of us S3 users with JB update are facing it. Search the forum.
As far as the temporary solution is concerned, u can play some audio file (from music player) and the sound will start coming from rear speakers.
And i guess because of this bug u r hearing low sound on calls n messages because it could be that the sound is coming fro front speakers instead of rear speakers.

Hi, I had the same problem when after I plugged in some other non HTC headphones. After I plugged the original ones, everything went back to normal but after a reboot - same s**t.

Never really paid attention until I noticed that I couldn't really hear you tube videos and music! Which was fine before, it was loud enough! So it was then I realized sound was only coming out one side so dunno!
I'm getting a replacement either way and I'll compare the two!

it's been confirmed numerous times that one is a mic and the other is a speaker.

i use a program like total recorder to boost the volume of my ringtones,then copy them back to my sdcard. there are a couple of free apps online that do the same.

How is that lame? You would prefer two speakers and no mic? Then it wouldn't be a phone, would it?
2 speakers and a Mic would be nice. Other than the noticeably low volume I love this phone.

volume+ seems to let you do some audio tweaking i had the same problem where my audio was all the way up and wasnt very loud i downloaded and installed Volume+ i think it is on the market not sure but this allowed me to run my volume at 1/2 up and its loud as heck
it sets speaker, headset and as well as bluetooth volume levels
This doesn't allow me to boost past factory settings

So my friend showed me this huge & annoying defect & I was able to replicate it. Let's see if you can too.
When connecting the phone to my car stereo through an AUX cable to play music & I get a text it'll pause the music briefly & the phone's speaker will play the notification. 9 times out of 10 the speaker also crackles or makes a pop. Doesn't seem right. Does it do it for your phone too?
has anyone or will anyone else test this out for me? please & thanks

Well I tried to listen to any pop or sound bt I couldn't hear anything, the notification music jumps right in n when done the music player continues to play..
Also, everything on mine plays on the car speakers continuously, nothing from the fone speaker.
So ur sound will switch from the car speakers to the fone speaker without u even unplugging it? Then that's just weird
also @xnifex, are you using the standard notifications or did u set ur own sound/song for the text notification

Updated my Nexus S from Gingerbread to ICS 4.0.4 (OTA), but ever since then, the incall handset volume has been extremely low - so low that I can't even hear the person on the other end if I'm outside of any 'quiet' (library quiet) room. Has anyone else experienced this as well?
Any ideas on how I can fix this? I've read that the app "Volume +" might be a solution, but I would need to root the device and its also not a guarantee. Would love to hear from someone who has had this problem and how they rectified it...
Couple of details:
- Carrier: Rogers (in Canada)
- OS: ICS 4.0.4
- NOT Rooted
- Samsung Nexus S
Thanks a lot!

Volume+ won't fix your in call volume, believe me. So don't go that route, you'll only waste your time. The Nexus S has always had a very low volume, but I didn't notice a change from 2.3.7 to 4.0.4 to be frank.

Thanks for the heads up. If you didn't notice a change, then I'm wondering why I did. Do you think its worth it to re-install 4.0.4?
Do you know of any workaround to have this resolved if I did root it?

I find it strange myself. If you look around you'll see the internet is littered with "complaints" regarding the Nexus S low volume, dating back to the Gingerbread day too. I'm not sure a re-install of 4.0.4 will help you.
I have never really found a workaround to increase the in call volume, so if anyone knows I'd be interested too. Rooted or not, I don't mind.
Maybe problem of headset? I don't use the stock one, I have 2 other headset, one of them was too low ,other one was just too loud even hurts my ears...

It's a known "issue" though, the Nexus S always had a very low in call volume compared to many other phones. It's not absolutely inaubdible, but it's definitely not your Nokia brick either. In a crowded place it gets difficult to hear, even with your ear pressed firmly against it. The speaker however does decently, but then everyone can hear your conversation.

More than once. The radio signal has little to do with the volume however.

After updating to JB, i am hearing a weird sound when the camera is focusing. It doesn't happen when i was still in ICS. The camera produces a clicking sound (usually paired by 2 clicks after touching the screen for it to focus). Do you guys think it's a hardware issue? I was wondering coz this only happen when i updated to JB..
Sent from my HTC One S4 using xda-developers app
Mine does that too. Always did. So did my old HTC nexus one. It seems to be the auto focus module. Some times mine ticks loud but usually it's faint. It shouldn't be a hardware issue of your camera auto focuses.
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app
But i only start to hear that when i updated my phone to JB. I've never heard that ticking sound when i was on ics 4.0.4.. nevertheless, it's just the sound that is troubling me. With the camera app itself and the quality of the pictures taken, i don't have any issues.. i'm just afraid that the update has something to do with that ticking sound..

Are u guys with s4 Jb update facing this issue of sound coming from earpiece instead of rear speakers after the Jb update?
Like for example when someone calls u, sometimes the sound of ringtone comes from the earpiece instead of rear speakers?
Even if u make some video with camera and then watch it, the recorded sound comes from earpiece. Did u check it?
It is an issue with some S3 phones after Jb update. Wanted to confirm r S4 phones (with JB update) facing the same issue?

A possible FIX. This may not be the correct way to fix it, but should work anyways. Get a Root Browser, go into system/media/audio/ui and replace camera_focus.ogg. Make sure to set the files permission to 755. I found an online converter that converts most sound files to .ogg, it has to be an .ogg file, with permissions 755.
Hope this helps

It's not the audio sound, it's definitely not the solution. That autofocus is different from the HTC fake focus sound

Hello there!
Well this is weird but mine does click since the first snap. And it was ics then...
It seems it depends on a certain device. I didn't have it before but after changing my mobo in service, the sound appeared. On ics. And it only sounds on auto focus. Manually focusing there is silence.
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app
It's probably just JB using a different focusing mechanism than ICS which perhaps causes the lens to move more thus resulting in a more audible click noise. As long as it functions fine and takes focused pictures I wouldn't worry about it.
Always had this noise, only in auto focus though. It's disappeared on CM10.1, and I can't say how happy I am at that.
