Volume very low - Verizon HTC One (M8)

When I listen to voicemail, the volume seems very low, even though the setting is all the way up. Can we increase this somehow?

Hmm mine can get pretty loud. Might have a defective speaker

My ear piece speaker during calls seems kinda quiet, I feel like this is an issue with all phones I have ahd though.
Speakers sound great on speaker phone though.
Just found this thread, seems to be a common problem. They also say the earpiece speaker is directional, will give what they recommend a shot.

There is a thread here about volume being louder in the right speaker than in the left, so your problem might be related. I don't have either issue with my TF, though.
No for me both speakers are equaly loud but the right one is realy distorted, it sound like a blown up car speaker.

Sound Quality

Does anyone else feel that sound quality is somewhat choppy during phone calls? I get full bars of 4G, yet sound quality seems to be a bit off.
It is not as clear as the G2x I came from or the MT4G before that.
I have the same issue
I have this same issue... the speaker and the microphone on this device are pretty bad... I hope it's something that can be fixed with a software update, or a rom. This is my second Sensation and it's the same problem but it seems to be worst on the second one. If people talk too loud it will crackle, and then people are telling me that my volume is too low when I'm speaking, and i have the volume turned all the way up
Yep I have the same problem. And sometimes when using the speakerphone the sound is soooooooo low

Many calls I receive the other user sounds like they have their volume cranked up beyond reason. And it is not he case.
Similar problem here. People who call me cannot hear me very well, the sound is a little bit choppy.

Bad call quality -- just started

Everything has been good on my Charge since the EP4D update, but something went wrong this week and my call quality is terrible. To best describe it, it sounds "buzzy", kinda like very low bitrate mp3. It seems to not be happening on speakerphone, though the speakerphone quality is never that great.
I could try connecting a headset and see if this is an actual physical problem with the speaker. I'll try that when I get home if nobody has another suggestion.
I've had problems with call quality on all GB roms not sure what it is

Earpiece quality?

Does anyone have some information about the earpiece quality?
On the Nexus 4 the quality was very low as on lower volumes interferences from the wireless signal could be heard. Also i don't like phone on which the lowest volume is still much too loud.
Any experience would be very appreciated.
No we dont have any information. The phone isn't even in peoples hands with the exception of media sites.
Just wait until you receive the device and conclude for yourself (or wait for others for a full-review)
Mine's in my hand. The earpiece quality is excellent, it's very loud and clear, the best I've ever encountered!

Got my phone right here.. Already have it for like 6 hours (has been shipped today)... Did not test the headphone output yet...
Sound quality is excellent through earphones..Plenty loud..Im pretty impressed with the speakers to..More bass and clarity than the N4.. Turn the volume up on Dead Trigger 2 or listen to some dance music and you will see what i mean.
Ok, thank you very much for your answers :good:
I'm only interested in the earpiece volume. It's nice if the speaker is loud enough but i don't want the earpiece on low volumes too loud. Even more i like it if it's very quiet for on the lowest levels as i'm not all the time in a noisy environment.
If the earphone output is also quite low on the lowest level i'd appreciate that a lot. I had troubles with every Android phone so far, except the HTC One X+, beeing too loud. (And don't start a flamewar. Some people can't get it loud enough and some like phones who are able to adapt to the ambient).
Hi,
Can you tell me if you can control the volume with a wired headset ? (much like the iPhone... and unlike my Nexus 4)
Thanks !
Mine has stopped working...still makes a sound when maximising the volume but I cant hear anything in a call.
Is the Nexus 5 compatible with HD Voice on T-Mobile USA?

not as bad as N4
When on a call on the call volume is low you can hear a faint distorted signal. It kind of sounds like the phone is working on other tasks in the background more than a distorted signal to me. It's faint but kind of annoying when you realize it. The N4 was worse though.
Has anyone else noticed this is or is it just me?

[Q] In call speaker broken

So my cousin bought this phone yesterday and during his first phone call noticed that he could only hear the other end of the call thru headphones or speaker. Verizon replaced it without question and there was no issue there. Was just wondering if anybody else got a defective device.

My first replacement had a bad ear piece. Cracking when turned up during a call.
My volume is low on earpiece during calls. I can't hear much unless I am in a quiet room. In my car with road noise (New B'Mer not very loud) I can hardly here other party

If you're talking about using ur phone up to your ear, speaker by front camera, I would say replace it! Mine is very loud on full volume, honestly the loudest cell phone speaker I've ever had for the regular speaker, not talking about speaker phone here.
