[Q] Earpiece Call Volume

Hey,
Does anyone know a way to boost the earpiece volume on the Nexus S, mine seems to be a bit low. I have have DSP manager and Voodo on my phone, but I haven't found any settings in those apps for the earpiece.
Thanks in advance for any help or tips,
Andres

I was just getting ready to an identical post - I'm really surprised that this has not been a more common post thus far -- maybe I'm getting old and my hearing is suffering but given the other phones that I've had lately this is the worst one for earpiece volume in the last couple of years.

I asked super about this on twitter said its gonna be in ver8

Isn't this an identical thread ? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1041712
As I stated there too, it could be a phone-related issue. Go to the store and tell them to give you another one. If that one is louder, then it was an issue with the previous phone. If it has the same issue, then ask for another one. This issue is present on many other phones, including Sony Ericsson's. Check Google for this.

Het everyone,
I tried lowering the volume in the middle of a call and then increasing it and it seems to fix the issue. Try it and let me know if it works for you.

Hey lambda30,
Thanks for the link, but that thread discusses headset volume not earpiece volume. DSP manager already supports boosting headset volume.

Andres

Oh, I didn't notice the difference between the threads, sorry, my bad. In that case, in my story, I had a problem with the earpiece, not the headset. So, I had a problem like yours, in this thread.
And no, lowering the volume in the middle of a call didn't change anything. The refund for the phone did, lol.

Earpiece call volume low - any fix?

Hey guys,
I love my Charge, but do wish the earpiece volume was louder. Anyone know of an app hack/fix that can increase handset earpiece volume?

Oops, haha, fixed the OP.
I want the earpiece louder if possible. Either through app or developer hack.
Is this possible?

Really? My earpiece is loud already. If I put it on max, people around me would be able to hear my conversation.
It is possible. I believe it was done on the Vibrant or maybe it was the G1. I'm pretty sure it was the Vibrant though.

Voodoo sounds seems louder to me but you need to be rooted and with a supporting kernel for that to work(I think) I did see some apps on the market but not sure if they work or not

[Q] very quiet voice only in calls

Hello,
I have a strange problem with my rooted Haier W910 Smartphone (Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 MSM8260A CPU with ICS 4.0.4).
In all calls, the microphone is very low and everyone hear me very quiet.
But in all other apps, like voice recorder or google speech recognition, the mic works fine and perfect.
I hold the phone properly and also I don't touch the mic with my fingers in the call.
I can't edit something in the phone options and I don't know / can't find the right secret code for service or engineering mode
Who can help me, please?
Best regards and sorry for my terrible english
Andy

Hi Andy
I have the exact same problem
Have you found a solution yet?
Thanks

I also have this problem only when i calling out. Changing ROMs dosen't solve this strange problem. The engineer code is *#*#303#*#*

Me too
Anyone found a solution to this? I have exactly the same problem. Just done a static test when I call out using the Haier the voice levels are very quiet. But accepting a call in the voice levels are just fine.
Has to be software related??

It's seem software related but all the ROMs I checked (various 4.0.4 a d 4.1.2] don't solve the problem.
I just returned the phone to the seller.

It seems that the problem is very apparent when using handsfree, because the other party experiences huuge quality loss when the phone is switched to handsfree (switching to the loudspeaker and talking from say 50 cm away) I have however heared ppl tell me that my voice comes through worse then before anyway. Same for cellular and ip calls incl wifi

Mic line not working on headset

Gladly that is the only problem I have found on the one but I would like to get this to work, is this an isolated issue or is someone else having the same problem?

I think you're the first one reporting this. As I don't have the phone, I can't help you much, but I can encourage you to get a logcat. I'm interested as well as I plan to use it with a headset as well...

I tried the headphones that come with the SGS5 today and the mic works, the headphones I use on a daily basis are Sony MDR-X10, not sure why their mic line doesnt work on the One, I will try another ones.

I had trouble with the Apple earbods too. Never had an issue on my N4 or N5. Perhaps report on Jira. I reported it and they said "Apple wires them differently" and closed the issue. Kinda dismissive considering Apple earpods mic work on the S4, S5, M8, N4, N5, etc.

I thought that the wiring was a standard thing, I guess I was wrong, the mic line definitely works perfect on SGS5 and Sennheiser earbuds, I hope this is something that can be tweak with software.

Exactly, Samsung S5 and Seinheiser earbuds work just fine, Sony over the ear headphones dont work.

Interesting, I'll have to dig through some other headphones then.
My RHA 750i's don't work, that's for sure.

Does the middle button work? Buying those soon but not sure if I should go with the mic or non mic version since the mic won't work.

I used to use a pair of Skullcandy earbuds with mic on my Nexus 5 and now on the OPO it won't work at all. I'm sure it's a software bug.

Anyway to vote for this bug so that it will be worked on?

Tried the Samsung SGS5 headphones on both my OnePlus Ones, the Mic seem to function under sound recording but while making a call the caller on the other end can't quite hear me. My wife says it sounds like a static mess. Can anybody confirm?
I have yet to find a headset/mic that works correctly with the OnePlus One.

Xiaomi Pistons? I got mines from boat2014 today.... I thought I posted on this thread earlier :| not sure what happened to my post or if i didnt post it.
The keys work fine. Vol up and down for volume changes. Tap once for pause, tap twice/three times for track change on poweramp.
Edit: I was confused lol http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/accessories/wired-headphone-mic-volume-buttons-t2847740 your post looked so familiar

Middle button works fine (volume buttons don't of course).

Microphone problem

Well. I have this issue since I bought the phone.
So, when using the microphone, either during calls or recording myself, the sound output is really low.
When on calls, people often complains about how low they're hearing me, and when I record myself and then listen to it, the sound is indeed really low.
I'm on Mahdi, using Franco Kernel (clean install).
Is there anyone suffering this or know any possible fix?

There's as fix for that. It's in this q&a section or the general section I believe.

I'm having the exact same problem, Oneplus support said the update should release in mid Oct to fix the mic issue and laggy screen, the sooner the better.
