[Q] Low mic volume after 44S OTA - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have had more than a few people tell me that I now sound very faint when using a headset during calls... The mic volume also seems to be much lower when using the handset during calls instead of the headset... Can someone else check to see if the mic volume got affected after the latest OTA? It would be a relief if it wasn't just me
Would fiddling with the system/etc/mixer_paths.xml file make any difference?

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

raising the max volume on bluetooth

does anyone know if its possible with our phone?
Voodoo Sound?
Turn the volume up while in call with the bluetooth on?
I forgot to mention it was for music but I just fixed the problem I had. Thank you anyways

the problem was actually on a bluetooth speaker i have. i opened it and had to trim the circutboard to make the board and speaker fit in a very small area and i had to cut off the volume + button from the circutboard and i lowered the volume on accident and could not raise the volume to were i can hear it thats why i wanted to raise the max volume for the bluetooth but after messing with a small strand of copper wire i was able to pull a macgyver and raise the volume back up

If you really want it to be a lot louder and distorted just go to the android market and download the free "Galaxy Tuner" has a lot of options for other stuff besides just the sound/volume and so on.....

Is it possible to boost the speaker volume for incoming calls?

Im with the builtin ROM, android version 2.3.5 Sense 3.0.
Is there anything that really works?
Thanks in advance

i don't believe so. there is a file in system\etc that you can either modify or flash a zip via recovery to enhance your headphones and call volume quality and sound.

I just bought my HTC SENSATION and I'm new to the adnroid world.
What do you mwnae when you say " modify or flash a zip via recovery".
By the way - it maked better the sound only through headphones?
Is it ammplifies the ringtine volume when someone calling me?
Thanks

you'll need to s-off to do that mod i've listed. read the development section for guides. you might want to try some apps from the market first. i think people were talking about a volume+ app or something.

i don't think the one i've listed does anything to the ring tone itself.
He's talking about the ringer, I also can't hear my phone ring in a street, while it is in my pocket.

Earpiece of speakerphone? I was talking to my gf last night on speaker and it sounded fine. Could it be louder? Sure, but its not soft by any means.

[Q] speaker "explode" noise

when on max volume, the speaker will make a loud horrible crackling noise( like its exploding ) this will only happen in certain songs.
pretty sure my speaker is broken, or maybe its software?
what should i do?
Try to do the same thing on another OnePlus One. If its happening there too, maybe try another rom. If its still happening, it is the song.

Which ROM are you on? I'm guessing you're on CM12 (or some lollipop based ROM) I notice that same crackling noise on max volume (speaker) when I play Clash of Clans. Just reduce it one volume step down and the noise disappears (only solution till it's fixed). Otherwise wait for stable CM12S. If you're on CM11S/CM11 then that's not good

Yes I can hear it on Zeta ringtone. As I mentioned earlier its a lollipop issue (its still in beta), only solution is to be patient until CM fix it or reduce one step below max or go back to CM11s/CM11 (because that's stable).

I also have this problem when playing most things on YouTube on max volume. It's a problem for all cm12 based ROMs.
