How to disable phone speaker for voice notes? - Android Apps and Games

Hey guys, sometimes I want to hear a voice note in a crowded place and I need the loudspeaker's extra volume. But in my phone both speakers are in the same place so when I get it next to my ear, whatsapp automatically starts playing the voice note through the phone speaker, whose volume is A LOT lower and I can't hear anything. I was wondering if there's a way to prevent whatsapp from changing to phone speaker. Thanks!

Google Voice play back volume low

I believe I've always had this issue on all three of my Android phones. When I go into Google Voice to play back my messages, the volume is always on max, but the playback is still very low. Across all phones (two captivates and a cliq), volume is low regardless of ear-piece or speaker.
Is there any way to increase this volume?
Thank you to all the ultra wise for all your assistance and hard work to make android what it is today.
The Google Voice default is to playback through earphone rather than speaker phone. Hold the phone to your ear or change it to playback through speaker phone.

Yes I know this. As I explained above, the volume is low when played back through ANY speaker on the phone. This could be indicative of a software limit on the app maybe...
The volume is so low that unless I'm in an almost silent environment, its difficult to hear anything. The transcriptions aren't quite helpful just yet, but I've noticed them getting better.
I had this problem today. The message was SO quiet that I could not make out what my friend was saying.
Google Voice needs a few tweaks, like the option to switch to speaker on the fly.

I understand you wouldn't want to set it to playback on the speaker by default, but if you hit the button to the right of the seek bar while its playing, it switches to the speaker phone. Still a bit difficult to hear. even if you put it directly on your ear.
I would say one of the best things about this phone is that you can hit speaker phone and flip it over and use it as a regular phone. That way you have a SUPER loud ear-peace. Good for clubs/concerts/loud places... but not loud enough for my damn messages

Speaker phone volume and mic?

I've noticed that the speaker phone volume is not has high as my previous phones. Also, when talking to someone on speaker they have a hard time hearing me. I have to talk close to the phone for them to hear me clearly.
In the past with my Galaxy S 4G, I had no issue with them hearing me or my speaker volume...
Is there anyway to adjust this past its max volume setting?
I have found that when connected to the mobile network, 2g/3g/4g (or whatever other G's decide to pop-up) the incoming and outgoing volume are much greater than when connected to the Wifi calling. The G2x is actually quite loud for me on both speaker and handset modes.
Are you using the Wifi calling or the normal network?
It's not just on the speakerphone. I've used a couple of audio recording apps, and in both of them if I speak in a normal tone of voice with the phone 2-3 feet away, I can barely hear myself in the playback. I'm think there must be a system-wide gain setting that is set incorrectly, but I haven't managed to find it. (Either that or the microphone is just plain awful.)

Stockwell Firmware problem?

I can't normally hear the person on the other side of the line.
The voice is extremely loud and distorted, even with volume in minimum.
Every time I have a call I need to put the volume down and up until the other people voice is understandable.

Xperia z3 Speaker Issue

Hello, first of all my english isn't good enough to describe all i want to say, i hope it's enough understandable.
My device xperia z3 (D6653) has a problem on speaker with incoming calls and activate loudspeaker phone during phone calls, the ringtone is too low.. as well as my speaker in phone calls.. the music is working fine and loud as it should be (both speaker work, top and bottom) but when somebody call me the phone rings too low even though every volume level is set to max! it's even more weird because when i go to "phone ringtone" like i would to set a new one, when i play the ringtone i already put or any another one the volume is normal as it should be and both speakers work.. but the problem still goes on when somebody calls me the bottom speaker only working and the phone sound is too low to hear of course as i mentioned when i active phone speaker during a call the bottom speaker still only working and i can't hear the caller while no sound or noise near me (quite place)!!
please help me, i am really very very disappointed.. i am missing most of my incoming calls because of this, and i can't hear the when loudspeaker is activated in calls..
P.S: the phone sound overall become a bit low but pretty noticeable after lollipop update or whatever i don't know, it was more louder when i bought it new, btw the speaker issue is remained the same when it was new though..
Build number; 23.4.A.0.546
Thanks.
please anybody help me!! i need a new software to solve this problem.. i can barely hear my phone ringing or even loudspeaker during calls...

Lost Mic, Sound in video and voice recorder...

Hi,
A couple of days ago I lost completely my mic during calls. (Other persons can not here me but i can. Even when i speak through speakers they can not here me)
Even the sound with my video's is gone.
But the strange thing is that when i tap my phone when my voice recorder app is on, it will detect the tapping but it will not record anything.
Can anybody help in this matter?
I use a ZP999 rooted, custom rom
update : the voice recorder did record something afterall.
When i put my headset in i can hear it clear.
I did pull out my headset and i now can hear the voice recording through my speakers which before didn't work.
I had some hope now the mic of my phone dialer should work but it didn't.
Can there be something wrong with my headset-input-jack which controls also the mic of my dialer???
Is it possible that my phone "thinks" there is still a headset inside so my mic won't work?
I remember i used some softtouch-pen which had on the other end a "jack"-like the usual headsets. But i remember it didn't fit the wright way.
It could possibely caused the harm.
Any way to override or fix this problem ???
Any help would be welcome.
