Hi,
I have scoured various forums and haven't found a workable solution.
My Rogers SII LTE has noticably low call volume. It's mostly when using the handset, but even with earphones. Music and other audio is fine.
It's especially bad when I try to use any VoIP apps, cannot hear the other side at all if there is background noise.
I have been into a service mode, but the audio adjustments do not seem to save.
Anyone else having this issue? Or better, a fix?
thx
No one else with an SII with problems hearing callers?
Maybe something is wrong with your handset? I have no audio issues at all in calls, even on various ROMs.

thanks for the reply. You might be right. I am having occasional USB charging issues also, might be related.
Looks like its mostly when using voip apps. Can't explain it.

Same problem here.
Often I have to turn volume up to max to get a "normal" call volume.
I have a similar issue... Voice calls on my headset are very light on both ends of the call. I have to yell for the other end to hear me clearly

It's a problem with the software that comes on the phone. When I switched to ics that problem went away for me.

Hello,
I just switched over to the HTC One S T-Mo version from the GS2. Phone is great has its pluses and minuses over the GS2 however I am having one little issue with my device.
Whenever I try to use audio out into my car stereo it does not work it plays through the phone speaker. I was wondering if there was a setting for that on the phone? I looked on everything option I could think of. At first I thought it was the cable, but I tested it on my friends GS2 and my Ipod as well and still works flawlessly. Then I thought it was the app( Google play) but I also tried with pandora and youtube and still no dice.
I used the search on here but came out empty, just wondering if you guys knew anything about this?
P.S. I tried two HTC ONE S's already both same thing.
Thank You
Not really and answer, but I tried using mine as well through aux input in my car, and same issue. I got a replacement from T-Mobile because the tech at the help desk said it shouldn't do that. I've tried 2 different cables in 2 different cars and same result. Sound through One S speaker. Really annoying. I had the Sensation which worked fine but not sure why this phone will play through the headphones but not through car speakers.

I agree that's how it should work. When I have my head phones in, I get sound through the head phones, but when I use it through my car stereo(I've tried 2 cars, 2 different cables) the sound comes through the one s speaker not the car speakers. All my other phones have worked the right way but this continues to play through phone speaker. Weird. This is my 2nd one s. I returned the 1st because of this very issue. Thank you.

Auxiliary Mode
My car stereo has an AUX mode that I have to manually switch it to when I want to play music from my phone through my car speakers. I noticed that some devices will switch my stereo into that mode, where as my One S will not. I suggest that you check and see if there is a way to manually enter this AUX mode from the stereo as that may be something that you never noticed because its been doing it for you this whole time.
Thank you. I have manually put it into aux mode and still one s speaker. I am going to try it in my Toyota today and see if it works. Hopefully not 0 for 3. I just wasn't sure if there was a setting on the one S I'm missing. Just seems weird that it's my 2nd one s and 2 different cars and 2 different wires.

I am now officially 0-3. I tried it in my Toyota and still sound through one s speaker not through car speakers. Not sure where to go next. Thank you for your suggestions.

Are those stock radios in both vehicles? If not what model of radios are you connecting your phone to.
Yes. All 3 are stock. 07 mercury, 10 Toyota and 12 Ford. All using different cables. Maybe return the phone again? Thank you.

There is an app on the market that will force the sound through the auxiliary output. I forget the name, you could try that.
So it works for headphones?

That's the strange thing. Headphones work fine. Even the beats comes on. Weird issue.

Try SoundAbout from the market. While it's not an official fix it should get your desired result.
If it works with headphones then I don't think your phone is the problem, it just doesn't make any sense. Set the radio to AUX, start the music on the phone and plug it while its playing, see if that works. I am at a loss.
I did that as well,I could hear the static "pop" through the car speakers when I plug in the aux jack, but it just continues to play through the phone speaker on all 3 cars. Thank you.

You can definitively say that the cables you have tried work, you have use those same cables with an iPod or some other player, right?
Yes. I had a galaxy s3 and sensation before this and they've both worked through these same cables. Thank you.

I tried a my touch 4g on the same cable tonight and it worked fine. Do I need a special type of 3.5 mm cable to make it work? Thank you.

So I called htc and the woman I spoke with said I need a cable that is certified to work with one s. But she couldn't tell me any. Does anyone know of a special 3.5 mm aux cable for our one s? Thank you.

That sounds like BS, I have a cable that I made myself and it works just fine.
Just got this accessory from HTC and it doesn't work on stock rom but works flawlessly on CM10. For those that don't know what this is, its a Bluetooth dongle that transmit your music wirelessly to your factory radio in your vehicle.
I followed the instructions to the T. Can't get it to work on stock and Axiom rom. The crazy thing is A2DP works with my bluetooth ear piece and transmit music fine just not the dongle. So i narrowed it down to something to do with a sound file on stock/Sense that is missing or not working properly.
Does anyone else have this accessory and problem?
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using Tapatalk 2
Decided to try again today with different methods in connecting my phone to the dongle. Still no go. Below i have attached a logcat rather long, but that how it is haha. So if anyone would like to look at it and try and help, it would be highly appreciated.

Nope. I can't get this clip to work with my stock One S. I swear it has something to do with Sense. Just tried my Acer tablet and it works fine. So far anything stock aosp will work.

Late for my reply and yes I did make mexdroid for the One S. They never went public though.

I bought the HTC Stereo Clip off ebay and it works for me. I specifically bought it for the aptx feature. The retail packaging was a bit beat up but the actual stereo clip was mint. I'm on stock tmo rom. I did not root and flash a custom rom since I do not know if there is something only found in the stock rom that enables the aptx feature. But then again there's no way to tell if the aptx is actually working but it sounds great.
I didn't get the StereoClip, but I got the Samsung HS3000 dongle which also supports aptX (and is about half the price). I did notice that the higher quality aptX codec didn't seem to work in non-Sense roms, and only seemed to work in Sense (running Virtuous Ville+ here).
Without aptX there's some definite high frequency filtering and dynamics compression going on. With aptX it's like I've got an audio cable plugged right into the headphone jack, it's fantastic.
This is the feature that's keeping me on Sense. As soon as AOSP/AOKP's got it I'll switch back, but for now I'm quite happy with this.
I installed Cyanogenmod 11 on my HTC One Mini and have been experiencing mic sensitivity issues. People cannot hear me on skype, and when I call people they say it sounds like im holding my mic 10ft away. Is there any apps or tweaks that would allow me to boost the sensitivity of my mic.

The One Mini seems to be having some microphone issues with the CyanogenMod. In my case Viber is very silent and people on the other end can barely hear me. Regular phone calls work fine but only if I'm not using hands-free, with the hands-free the mic problem appears again.
I'm waiting to see if this will be fixed once a stable version of the CM11 is released, we can't expect everything to be working flawlessly with nightly builds
I want to love this phone but I am having difficulty for one reason: Bluetooth issues.
So I have a Note 3, my wife has an S4, a friend has an S5. 2 I know have the M8. I loved the Note 3 but Kit Kat has killed it until I can root it at least.
Anyway, all of these phones work flawlessly streaming bluetooth music to my car EXCEPT the M8. I had a Rezound for 5 minutes and it had the same issue. It is just this annoying clicking sound that is similar but worse than the stock camera click.It happens about every 10 seconds on the dot. I drive a 2011 Kia Optima LX (daddy car, ha). I know it isn't boom sound because that isn't enabled over bluetooth. I tried playing with max volume, low volume, mid volume. I tried a 3rd party equalizer. I tried streaming music, youtube videos/music, local files...all the same clicking. ALL HTC phones I have tried have the same issue! I I have no idea what to try. I also tried turning NFC off...wifi off. Driving out into the middle of nowhere to make sure there is no interference. This does not happen through the speakers or headphones. Only Bluetooth. I am at wits end!
I really would hate to return this over that issue, but I will. I want to love it - but something like this is annoying enough to make me hate it. Does anyone have any ideas as to what I cold do to fix this?
Thanks for any information.
I have the same problem with Pandora over Bluetooth in a Chevy Equinox and on my Beats Box portable. This did Not happen with my HTC Rezound. Does anyone have a fix for this ? Just makes me want to explode !

Last night I tested the Jaybird Bluebuds X and they have the same issue.
Another good question would be: If you have experienced this and rooted - did root fix it?

Hmm. Well that's interesting. Maybe I just got a dud this round. Do you happen to have a car bluetooth that streams media?
FWIW I have horrendous issues with the HTC m8 and the A2DP BT Audio Streaming in my car where in the past my S3 and S4 had 0 issues what so ever.
In some cases it won't pair consistently and other times even when it is paired, I can't control the app to play/advance tracks. I hope/expect HTC is aware of this and is working on a resolution.

Last question, have you tried using google play music at the highest quality setting? After further research - I believe this is directly related to the known issue with FLAC files. HQ Play Music will stream FLAC depending on the artist. I would be interested as to if you have tried that at all and if it exists on viper rom.
I was able to repro the issue on multiple devices and that enabled me to narrow the device itself out. That's kind of good/bad news, haha. Google has a fix but it did not make the cut for 4.4.2 - so I am curious as to if some of the leaked stuff has the fix or not. Trial and error will likely be the only way to know. http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/0...nd-stuttering-on-android-4-4-a-fix-is-coming/ describes the issue to a T.
