I am using XT925, non-rooted, stock rom, 4.1.2
Sometimes I found the voice call/in call volume changes to maximum itself.
From I just leave the phone alone to talking on the phone.
I am not sure what is controlling this volume.
Any ways to check which apps or system or any sensor change it?
Thanks.

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?

It seems that you have to plug the headphones AFTER opening the Music app. At least, that is what I found out.
As for calls, I do not know.
2.3.4 rooted
Revealed a pattern, if the device is asleep, is defined as the headphones without a mic and button music control.
If the device is unlocked, when you insert a headset, microphone and button music control works.

Sadly I think there is nothing to do.
It is a minor bug you know. Frustrating some times but still, minor.

Wow, you are right, thx.
Now that I know that, I can live with this small bug...
Anyone else? My call volume (both speakerphone and ear) are extremely low yet the sounds come through the speaker loud and clear for games, music, etc. I can't seem to find any mention of this anywhere other than a tiny thread on Reddit in the Moto G subreddit but no mention on how to fix it. Any ideas how to fix this?
Edit: Just restarted and it resolved itself. I had restarted after upgrade but it seems a 2nd one would've been required. Disregard.
Hello, i have the same problem but a restart doesn't resolve....the volume is very low. I tried a factory reset but nothing changed
having the same problem after updating to 4.4.2
Motorola's advise: lower the incall volume to min, switch the phone off and then on again.
Worked for me, permanent fix.

Just turning volume down and the up during call will fix it, It's a known bug in KitKat on our devices

I have the same problem but the said workaround doesn't seem to be working. Is this using the rocker all the way? The moto forums all give different solutions but none of them seem to be working.
I agree with zippo, just turn the volume down a notch during the call and it increases the volume.
Strange but it works!

Hello! Do you know any way to increase volume of voice speaker? It's too low for me. Device runs with root, CWM and CM11.

The fix is the same for internal or external earpiece or speaker. While in a call, turn the volume to 0, then turn back up to your desired output level.

I have been helped a lot by this forum so i thought i would give back! You can fix this problem with es file explorer And root access. First turn on root explorer in es file explorer, go to menu, local, device, find folder etc. Click on the file named mixer_paths.xml. click the top right menu button and select edit then scroll down and find the line <ctl name="RX1 Digital Volume" value="84" /> ( your number may not be 84) and change that number to 94. Do the same for the next two lines (lines should look the same except with RX2 and RX3). Save and exit, then reboot and it should be fixed. You can try different numbers but much over 94 and my speakers distorted. All volumes will be increased including in call volumes. This may work for other phones but no guarantees
Hey All,
I have a problem with Whatsapp voice calls, the volume of the conversation on the earpiece is too loud even on the lowest setting, I have to put the phone away from my ear in order to hear.
This is only on Whatsapp Calls. In regular phone calls and Viber calls it is normal and I can lower the earpiece volume normally.
Anything I can do to fix this? I tried uninstalling and reinstalling a different version of Whatsapp but it didn't fix the problem.
Any app that can lower the volume even more?
Thank you kindly in advance.
I think it's not a Whatsapp problem. I just noticed that Viber calls are also loud!! It seems that's a problem affecting data calls only.
If i restart my phone the problem goes away for a few minutes and then comes back.
Very frustrating...
mine does the same. I don't use viber, but whatsapp sure is loud. I actually noticed call volume doesn't affect whatsapp call actual volume. As you say it's too loud at the minimum, but it's exactly the same even at the max. It's like it's stuck at max volume, and lowering call volume in the phone doesn't actually affect real whatsapp call volume. is this your case too?
The volume in Whatsapp might be based on 'Media' volume setting instead of call volume setting -- of course, this would be a bug as well. Try reducing the Media volume level before or during a call and see if that helps. Settings -> Sounds and vibration -> Volume -> Media. Hope it resolves your issue.

That was my first thought too, unfortunately none of the volumes have effect on the whatsapp call volume..
Yes it's exactly the same thing. I also tried lowering all the volumes like media and call and ringtones... i even performed a restore to factory settings to no avail. Very annoying!
you can change that in settings

Change what in settings?
We mentioned that we tried lowering all the volumes from the settings. Is there any other setting to change?
Furthermore i noticed that sometimes if i make the Whatsapp call, there is no problem. But if i receive the call and answer it, the volume will be stuck on loud.
Please someone help.
Thank you.
I'm having this problem too. Extremely frustrating and I'm considering returning the handset and getting something non-Samsung because of it.

PS I have contacted WhatsApp customer support and they don't seem to be able to help - it appears to be a Samsung bug.
What can we do? Wait for a software update from Samsung?
no hints?
Well it seems that the recent Samsung Firmware update released this week around 300MB solved the issue, fingers crossed.
I'll keep testing though... and will report back.
Same issue here but with S4 and this thing started with lolipop update and persists.
Have you tried resetting it to factory settings after the update?
Tried two different roms and it was a clean install every time, I'm not using ota. This is a problem with lolipop TW roms on S4 and seems lke S7. Maybe android 6 fixing this bug? I can't try cause there are no 6 for s4.
I have a LG v30 and same problem .. cannot change call volume no matter what

Hello, It was a firmware issue which was fixed in Stock ROM's, it won't be fixed in custom ROM's. You need to buy a pair of headphones with inline volume control.

Goto phone click 3 dot on right top->Setting->Sounds and Vibration ->Raise to lower Ringtone flip that switch.
My problem is the ringer volume is too low.
If I increase it in the system settings, it doesn't take long and without my intervention it has decreased again.
