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?
Anyone experienced something similar?

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

Could be your service provider too.

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.

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.
Hey guys! Tonight I just noticed that my external loud speaker sounds really weak and low. I have it turned all the way up and its low.. I know my battery life is in the yellow with 21% left. Does the phone lower the volume when battery gets to a certain point? This phone has been flawless. Now I'm afraid it has a problem

I think the obvious thing to do here would be to charge your phone and see if it goes back to normal. Agreed?

Agreed. Lol. But I just did a google search and found several people complaining about the same thing. They said the phone was working and loud speaker was fine. After a few weeks the speaker was really low.. They restarted the phone, and it was loud again. But after a few days went back to being low. Maybe software issue?

It's possible. I haven't noticed anything like that with mine but then again I don't use the loudspeaker that often. I'll have to pay attention to it now.

I just charged it thus mm ironing and rebooted it. Same problem. I would like to avoid a factory reset. I went through 3 different phones within a month. Not the One x. This is my first. They're going to think I'm crazy for walking into att and tell them there is a problem with this phone now. I see the same people all the time.

Hello,
Only the loud speaker is affected? Headphones work fine?
Do all types of sound have the volume problem, Calls, Videos, youtube, Music? Does your ring tone come out at full volume?
Do you use google nav or any other similar app that outputs commands and such through the loud speaker? I ask because I read somewhere (maybe here on xda) that people were thinking it was maybe due to such apps.

Ok so today I found out that the volume does not change with the last 3 or 4 pushes of the volume up button, it does not increase. Nor the same for lowering. It's like its stuck at 60% volume. What do I do..? Return it for a replacement or stick with it?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
I have the same problem, only noticed it the other day when I decided to play some music the volume was really low on the external speaker so I decided to make a phone call and the volume seemed low in both the earpiece and external speaker so out of dumb luck I decided to restart the phone. Volume got louder in both but eventually got lower again after a few days. Also, noticed that the external volume doesn't seem to change with the last 2-3 clicks up or down.
Hoping this is a software issue since otherwise it works great, don't really want to return it and possibly get one with other issues.

This is the exact same problem I am having now.. I too noticed that the ear volume is low as well. I did restart the phone. It worked good for a day. Then same thing. I too am like you. Hopefully there is a software fix for it. I called at&t. They said That HTC handles the tech support for the HOX. Maybe you should call them too and complain. If they hear it from someone else, it might be good.

I did talk to HTC Tech Support and was told there's NO Issue with the volume on the device and was given a number for Repair which I haven't called yet.
And yes, it's last about a day then it gets lower.
it has to be a software issue, im experiancing the same thing. got a replacement today because of it, and when i was in calls it sounded like i was in a tunnel? no case on the phone.

My first one x was a ht24 model that came with 1.73(I think that was the version correct me if I'm wrong) and had the same issues after about a month. My replacement is a ht23 with 1.85... I haven't noticed the issue with this phone but will look into it now and see if this one has it.
Sent from my factory HTC ONE XL unrooted and loving it..... kinda not really... I made a promise I wouldn't root :-(
I've noticed a very similar issue with my One X. I keep my phone at full volume and every once and a while the volume from the back speaker gets a bit quieter. Nothing seems to fix it, except for rebooting the phone.
Anyone else have this problem? Can't imagine I'm missing a setting.... Mute generally means mute.
According the this screen shot all sound should be off, correct. Dumb question but I want to make sure I'm not missing something.

Audio manager from the play store effectively shuts the sound off if anyone else has this problem.

Samsung wants me to send the phone in to fix this but I'm not sure being without a phone for a week or more is worth. Plus, I'm pretty sure if I install a custom ROM this problem will disappear. I'm frustrated, this is a stupid easy problem to fix (with an app) but a BRAND NEW phone should not have this problem to begin with. I wonder if I flashed the stock rom on top of the stock rom (lol) if that would work? Only one other person has this problem?
factory reset should fix your problem.

As a workaround you can choose "Silent" as your Notification sound.
If you only need this functionality at work for example look at Llama that will allow you to configure it very easy.

I've tried Llama before but really didn't look into it too far. Where I work is only about 3 miles from my house so I'm bouncing off the same tower in both places..... Did not work too well with Llama. Can someone check if there volume shows the same as mine when set on mute? The only thing muting is the ring tone. Just curious...

I see the same thing if I set the phone for Silent mode.
There's all different notification sound settings in this phone, I've noticed - my email accounts have their own notification settings per account, messaging has its setting, etc.
Maybe Silent mode primarily silences ringtones and doesn't prevent separate apps from making sounds? Which types of notifications continue to make sounds?
- ooofest
All of them. Anything not set to silent (email, text, messaging, etc) makes a audible notification when the phone is set on mute. Also, when my phone is set on vibrate I also have audible notifications.

From the User Manual, pg 124:
Use Silent modes to temporarily silence the sounds your
phone makes, except for media playback and alarms, or
replace them with vibration.

So, it doesn't seem to claim affecting your sounds beyond the ringer and maybe keypad noises or similar. Working as designed, it seems (not that I agree with their design, in this case).

To me that means it should silence notifications since it's not "media" or "alarm"? I'm just going to buy sound manager since it has more options anyway..... $2.99 to end my frustration with this

I would classify "alarm" as notifications, in trying to interpret their jargon for the context given.
Yeah, an app which can configure sounds across all your apps and settings seems best, here.

Appreciate you looking that up in the manual. I actually downloaded it after your post . I bought the app and set my work and mute profiles... Nice app. I know this is stupid thing to worry about but it gets frustrating when I get woke up or a notification goes off during a meeting. Silent on the sound manager app silences everything.

I know this is an old post but thanks for the tip. I was in class last night and someone was giving a speech and all of a sudden my phone starts whistling. I thought it was in mute, apparently the notifications were not. I'll give sound manager a try.
Actually I've had no problems since the jelly bean update.

I find that with headphones plugged in, notification tones and ring tones come out of both the headphones and the phone's speaker. Anyone else have this too? Anyone find a way to turn it off? I really don't like this 'feature' if that's indeed what it is.

Anyone else having a problem with their sounds after "un-muting" the phone? Example being I mute the phone at night or for a meeting, then when I turn the volume back up I notice my sounds for texts, fb, emails, etc do not work anymore, and I have to go back and manually reset them. The phone ringer does still work though. Just curious if it's something I am doing wrong or have overlooked. Not rooted or unlocked. Yet.
My phone does the same thing with the sounds. Except ive never muted my phone and im unlocked and rooted

The only thing I've noticed about sound is that ringtones and notifications go thru the head phones or bluetooth device when one is connected, instead of the back speaker.
Further Observations
Last night I tried turning the volume down to the lowest setting, but that was no good either. Today I have received a handfull of emails with no sound at all after I turned the volume back up. I can't verify texts yet as I haven't received any to this point. If it makes a difference or not these are all custom alerts or tones, not "factory" sounds.
Mine r factory tones i still hav the problem. I believe its a software issue the brand new phones have

Moto or ICS?
Hypothesis
After several weeks, I think I may have figured it out somewhat, at least for me. It seems if I have the phone plugged into my computer usb either in mass storage or media mode, and get an alert of some kind (sms, email, etc) it will cause the sounds issue. If I just use the wall charger, I don't seem to get the sounds issue.
