Hi guys! Has anyone experienced not very loud speaker while calling? Whe you are making a call you have to put volume to highest level to hear at least something. I don't have a Raph yet but I'm hearing this from multiple people. Can someone please write me how is he/she happy with the phone's speaker (the one you put to your ear when making a call) loudness?
Thanx
Hopefully the other people have actually taken the Screen Protector that comes on the device whilst in the box off and replaced it with the separate one provided. The protector provided has the necessary holes for the sound to come out so you can here.
With that done, the sound on mine is more than sufficient and I can get away with 60-70% volume in a London street.
Well that's a good news. Thank you for the response!
It has nothing to do with the screenprotector.
I have both devices side by side and called to my voicemail on the same number and the phone speaker on the Raphael is definitely not as strong as the one on the Diamond.
I have a hard time deciding which device to keep as speaker volume is important to me.
But the volume on the Diamond speaker is much higher than on my previous devices as the Touch, TyTN II, etc.
Hope HTC issues a ROM update to increase the volume as the hardware should be identical
Hi,
I'm having the same issue with the speaker compared to my TyTN II, hopefully there will be a fix..

Same here.
Loudspeakervolume is really low... :-(
(compared to a Hermes, Diamond and TyTN II)
Maybe there is a Registryhack for changing this ?
Mogul had same issue, fix came fairly soon after launch
Mine is low and really sucks

I´ve the same problem. Someone try this app ?
This app doesn't work.
Can't load the driver.
Interestingly the volume and sound through the headphones is great, exactly the same as the diamond.
You should think, because the hardware on the 2 devices is the same it really is a software problem.
Is there a registry setting for the earpeace volume??

Doesn't work for me, dowloaded several other versions. Some of them craches my Touch Pro..
Low volume speaker and poor signal strenth problems
My phone speaker is also almost unusable on highest volume setting. Listening to music on the rear speakerphone is fine.
Tried doing a hard reset to see if Skype or another add-on program screwed up the software and no go -- still same problem!!
Second issue...I have the UK version of Raphael and am currently using it on ATT network in the USVI and signal strength is very labile and weaker than on a cheap phone when compared side by side. Could this be the radio software on the Quad band UK version or poor antenna on the Raphael.
Very disappointd with both poor sound quality AND poor signal strength.
Any and all thoughts and constructive comments welcome!
docclayton
Anothe quick note....called HTC support this am and they are NOT allegedly aware of this speaker problem.
This is almost making my device not usable... If they dont fix this asap I will get rid of the device
I think we should all call HTC support to make them aware of the speaker problem.
I will call them today, but they probably will tell me to send in the unit for repair or something like that.

Speaker problem
I confirm the same speaker problem. Unfortunately I can not hear the phone call. Music plays ok, but the speaker volume when receiving a call is incredibly low. Any solution?!?
My Skyrocket has always had low earpiece volume. It sounds normal until I get in a noisy environment, then I have to press my ear totally against the phone which barely helps. My wife's Galaxy s2 i777 has louder volume and doesn't have this problem. I have tried all the available roms for my device to no avail. Is this normal for this phone, and if so, is there anything I can do to fix this problem? Any app that will work? I love this phone as it meets all my needs except for the volume. Thanks for your help!
edit: i bought this phones 2 months ago from Ebay. I researched it before i bought it, but the main issues others had with the skyrocket was the battery life with LTE. Well, the battery life has been great after custom rom, But the volume is terrible. I first thought i was sold a defective phone but then i found out that others had the same problem, but no solutions. Even all the volume boosts apps that work on other phones (for reasons WAY above my pay grade) do not work on our skyrocket.
...Anybody?... I know this problem of low earpiece volume is common with the skyrocket and has been brought up on many different forums, but I have not found anyone who has found a way to resolve the problem. Any help or direction would be appreciated. This trouble exist with both stock and custom roms.
still no answers?...sigh...
Well, I have replaced the earspeaker and the problem still persists. To clarify, the speaker is not as low as it was when Beanstalk 4.4 was going thru its growing pains and the volume level dropped after one of the builds a month or so ago. It is just that standing outside with normal outdoor sounds (occasional traffic, birds tweeting, outdoor noises) ihave to hold my ear directly against the speaker. I dont have that problem with my wife's s2 i777
Well, a month has passed with no replies. I have found that the volume level is good when using a headset to answer calls, so I have resorted to trying to be sure to carry earbuds with me. On the rare occasion that I dont have earbuds are the days I dread having this phone. As I us my phone for work, I need it to work as a phone first, and a smartphone secondary. As I stated before, I love the features of this phone, but there has to be a workaround for the volume levels. Maybe I'm just getting old and you young folks dont use the phone to actually speak to each other. Woah! Who let my dad in the room?!!? Anyway, Still looking for help. I am not asking which rom is better than another, but are there any roms that have louder volume levels? I have tried many here including Beanstalk, Dirty Unicorns, Liquid Smooth, Sultans CM 11...

Bean Stalk comes with am app called DSP manager which helps control volumes for bluetooth headsets. Give that a shot. It may just be your headset

The headset isn't the problem. The phone sounds great thru all the headsets that I have tried and thru the loudspeaker. The low volume level is when I am not using the headset and actually have to place my ear up to the phone(earpiece speaker). Its usable in normal areas, such as inside a room, but standing outside with normal background sounds like nature and light road traffic, I can barely hear the caller. I have to press my ear against the phone pretty hard, which usually ends up with accidental button presses and hangups.

Oh i understand, yes I have had that same issue which is why i bought a blue tooth headset.... Not sure if programming can do anything about the internal speaker.

Yeah, I was kinda hoping that maybe somebody discovered something that solve this. I don't know anything about programming, but I was thinking that back when beanstalk had those troubles with extra low volume, it was eventually fixed. And since he was able to boost the volume back to correct levels maybe it could be boosted just a little bit more. Or Since DSP works with bluetooth speakers and headphones and external speakers it seems like it would be easy to make it boost the earpiece volume. But I know that it is NOT easy...it may be impossible. If it was easy then there would have been a fix long ago. But a man can hope, can't he?
I plugged in my headphones to the phone and heard horrible static/hissing in the background, particularly when the volume is over halfway. I've tried 4 different connections (to my car stereo, to my headphones, to an external speaker, etc) and they all sound equally awful. I really hope I don't have a defective unit... This isn't normal though, right? Anything I can try to do to avoid an RMA? I'm rooted, bootloader unlocked, on PureNexus with EX kernel. No audio mods.
Also, just two notes:
1) I am 100% sure the cable is plugged in all the way.
2) I have no issues with the speaker (which tends to be what people have issues with on this phone, ironically). Audio had no distortion through speaker, but through the headphone jack its horrendous. I can't even listen to it it's so bad.

Unfortunately (fortunately?) that's not my issue. I can hear music, it's just terrible sounding due to the hissing I'm the background. It's as if the cable is only half plugged in (but it's not). Thank you for searching though!

Google has admitted the audio distortion issue being reported in its Pixel smartphones is an hardware problem, and it looks like the company is issuing replacements for customers. The audio distortion issue was first reported in December when a user named Mark Buckman had posted about the same.

Wasn't Mark having issues with his internal speaker when headphones were NOT plugged in though? I think those are different issues. My audio is fine at full blast, as far as I can tell, with no headphones plugged in. It's just when I plug something into the headphone jack that I hear the problem. I'll try his piano and see if I can reproduce his issue though. Maybe I just haven't tested the internal speaker hard enough.
EDIT: Grr... I do have the other problem too! Shown clearly by the Perfect Piano app... Well thank you for leading me to finding that out!

Weird. I spoke to Google today and 5 minutes after describing the problem, they told me to get a replacement through Verizon (that'll be fun).

Google can do the replacement too. I opted for that route because I'm hopefully more likely to receive one that I can unlock the bootloader on.

They will, but it will leave me without a phone for 2 weeks. They won't ship until they receive mine since it's through Verizon.

Did you try cleaning out the headphone jack with an electronic cleaner/compressed air? Dust could be a factor.
(Please correct me if these aren't the ways to clean a headphone jack)

It's not only the headphones jack I found out though. It's also the speaker when the headphones aren't plugged in. So apparently I have a jacked up phone, sadly. I may try the compressed air for fun though.

Tough luck. Mine seems fine.
Hello people,
I am using my Oneplus 6 since day one as (more or less) heavy user (kinda IT-Admin stuff, bit gaming, etc.) and I'm absolutely stunned by that phone, I'm always on the latest OP-Device since day one.
So... but I'm now struggleling with the Bluetooth Connection with my Headphones. I am using my Beyerdynamic Amiron Wireless with my Oneplus6 via Bluetooth.
Now the thing is - sometimes if I turn my head around, the connection is getting unstable and I can't enjoy my music. With my 6€ amazon Bluetooth dongle on my working-PC I am not experiencing this problem, even if I walk through the office here (+/- 5-10 meter), totally stable, not getting unstable. But if I am underway before or after work, or in the city - I am experiencing this issue with my headphones.
I already made a full reset (factory reset) and flashed the latest OOS 9.0.2 with the unbrick tool, just to exclude it could be an buggy update or something. I even made a whole reset of the headphones (and checked for newer firmware, but there wasn't one).
Have anyone of you any ideas about this? F***s me up right now...
I am unrooted, no magisk or any mods.
Cheers
Hi, I'm using the Sennheiser HD1 free, and the only problem i have is on PUBG i have a little bit of latency , even if they are aptx compatible, i'm on the last stable 9.0.02 and i have a 128/8 variant, but with music, videos or calls they are perfect, you tried to factory reset and debrick so i guess i have nothing to advice you for
good luck

When i connect it, it shows a toast and a logo of Qualcomm aptx
And also
from :https://www.theverge.com/circuitbre...s-on-impressions-comparison-bluetooth-earbuds
"The Momentum HD1 Free and CX 6.00 BT look virtually identical. The hardware for the cables, the in-line remote on the right earbud, the battery module on the left earbud, are all exactly the same — the two products even share the same FCC ID. Both headphones have Bluetooth 4.2 and support Qualcomm aptX and aptX Low Latency audio for higher quality playback, assuming your device supports it, which makes sense seeing as, again, they’re more or less the same."
I'm not test it yet with bluetooth headphones, but i don't have any bluetooth problem with my car audio and galaxy watch. OnePlus 6 8/256GB A6000
I have 8/256, am on 9.02. See frequent disconnection during calls made via car's BT. Not that it should matter but I have 2018 MB E350. No BT problem making calls with my wife's Samsung S9+. I did not have any issues with OP6 when I was on Oreo. Tried factory reset, clean flash, all the steps OP mentioned.
I'm on the 8gb/128gb not the 256gb and I have to issues whatsoever. I'm using Sony MDR-XB650BT headphones which are aptx compatible and an Mpow Bluetooth receiver (3.5mm Jack) my 2011 Pathfinder Bluetooth and my Samsung gear SEE frontier... all without any issues or drop outs.
I'm on 9.02 rooted with Magisk 17.1 stable with TWRP blue spark v986 v2 and EX kernel 3.02
I have the same issue and I believe it has to be because of low quality headphones, not the phone itself. Thought my nexus 6P was the problem but the issue remained on my new op6.
So get better quality headphones or it won't go away unfortunately

Beyerdynamic Amiron are not even close to low quality. That being said i am having the same problem with some low quality headphones and just assumed it was them.
But I am also having a problem getting any changes i make to bluetooth in developers options to stick. So not really sure what to think.

Didn't see what kind of headphones he was using, my bad.
But I still highly doubt it has anything to do with the phone anyway, since everything (at least what I use bluetooth for) else is working extremely well, just my low quality headphones has issues.
And at least from my side, since the issue remains from two totally different phones I think it's something else. If it's not hardware related to the headphones then my best bet is some kind of settings inside android.

I changed too the settings of the dev option but none of them seemed to get saved, try the OB rom or another rom to see if it's the stable one is the main cause
OP6/8/256 + 9.0.2 + cheap no name BT resembling Crapple earphones.
Stable connection but 600ms latency, exactly as under 8.1, 9.0, 9.0.1 stock.
Sometimes volume skyrockets and requires adjustment.

There's no such car as "2018 MB E350." They discontinued E350 in 2016.
Are you sure that you don't have a time machine?

LOL! It's E450. I still have 2015 E350- my son is using it (just turned 16, so only during the day with my wife in the car with him). Actually, BT disconnecting issue I mentioned happens in both cars. I may ask the service folks to look into this issue when I take my car for service next month. It does not happen all the time but get disconnected while I am still talking and have good signal.
OnePlus 6 w/ 9.0.2 - has been factory reset by clearing data and cache in recovery, as well as factory reset within Android.
My issue is with my vehicle's Bluetooth. Media playback is fine, however the vehicle often thinks that the phone has no signal, when it does have signal. When the vehicle does that, I can't make calls from the vehicle, but making or receiving a call on the phone itself will work through the vehicles speakers and mic.
No issues with my iPhone, or any other Android I've used. This is the first and only phone with this problem.
Hello,
I'm wondering how I might override the volume on my device in order to make the loudspeaker... louder. My device is rooted and has SmartPack Kernel app on it.
Any help is appreciated.
i am using this app. Hope this answers your question.

Well it did help and it has also made me realize how loud I listen to music with headphones on. My iphone which I use as a music player gets very loud whether it's the loudspeaker or using headphones. With the app you suggested I can tell the Note 3 is getting very old it doesn't handle its volume being overridden well, it sounded distorted and unclear (I had it at 5% boosted).
Oh well, I can live with how it is as-is.
Gave it another shot today.
I rooted the device and then flashed LOLZ kernel and with SmartPark have been able to up the decibels for the headphone jack and for whatever reason SmartPack's method doesn't distort the audio like the Booster app did.

Perhaps. I fear that my phone is going to be toast soon, the loudspeaker is starting to get that airy failing noise of a speaker sound haha.
I upped the decibel for the loudspeaker by 2% and the headphone jack I think to 3-4%.
BUT even before I did that to the loudspeaker it was giving me that failing sound.

It's just getting old, I guess. Either I'll have to upgrade soon or keep replacing parts.
