when ever i make calls and increase the incall volume ,,,the other person voices starts to crackle and break up ??? what could be the problem?
when i use the headphones its really clear and loud but the earpiece keeps crackling and breaking up ??
Hey I have the same issue on my Q AND my Dash so its gotta be a network issue. I was thinking it was the Q because it started happening when I got the phone, I got sick of it and decided to dust off the ol dash to try out the Energy ROM, and whadaya know, Same crackling sound. WTF?!?!
Edit: I still notice the same break-up sound when I have and earpiece but its not as noticeable.
yea but it happens only when i increase the volume when its on low its perfect..
Yea i was shopping for a new earphone thinking that was the problem at first.
well i get it on two different phones, your gettin it, my gf has a razr v9 but says she never heard any static, so i dunno. im guessing its some kind of network issue.
the ear speaker on the dash is the same as any old blackberry.
this happend on my dash when i turned up the volume, but i switched the speaker from an old 7100t and now its clear.
I sold my HD2 on Thursday and let me say first off that I have no regrets whatsoever: I absolutely love this phone. Before I sold the HD2 I played some music tracks on both devices through the loudspeaker and headphones jack and noticed a HUGE differential in volume.....I thought the HD2 speaker was pretty tinny but it was at least audible; the Desire speaker volume is incredibly underpowered...being practically inaudible in a moderately noisy environment. This problem seems to extend even as far as the headphones socket since some of the songs I was unable to play at full volume on the HD2 for fear of bursting my eardrums are simply not loud enough for me on the Desire.
Am I the only person to think the volume levels are too low? Is there perhaps a way to increase the pre amp levels. It's as quiet as the first generation iPhone which was REALLY BAD.
Any thoughts from anyone here?
Hi there - I've been searching online to see if anyone else has been having this problem and came across your post.
Had my Desire for a week now, and I love it. But the volume via headphones is WAY too low. Stupidly too low. I can't hear it on the tube at all, for example.
I was looking forward to using it - and Spotify, in partcular - as a replacement for my aging iPod. But there's just no way.
I can't believe this is common to every phone, as surely there would be more people complaining about it. Are there different firmware versions knocking about? It's got me pretty frustrated.
Ok this is not nice, speaker volume is very important to me. This is the first time I see somebody be this negative about it though...
Damn..
Further, you coming from the HD2, any more thoughts you want to share about the switch?
How is the 4.3 inch to 3.7 inch 'jump'?
Kind regards
Screen size is not a problem for me, colours are beautiful on the Desire and the screen seems note responsive. I tried using the HD2 for a day after getting the Desire and hated it bycomparison! Only massive annoyance though is that it is nowhere near as loud.
I suspect that people are still in their honeymoon period with the phone and that complaints will start to surface about the speaker volume in time. As far as I can recall all my other Android devices were a lot louder than this.
Don't have the device yet but in a video review the guy said the speaker was pretty loud, so it's probably only a software problem

Juste buy in-ear headphones ! your ear will thanks you, pushing the volume to 100db because the tube is masking noise : not a good idea believe me.
I too, coming from an iPhone, find the headphone volume painfully low.
I use an under speaker pillow to listen to podcasts without disturbing the wife, and on the iPhone she'd sometimes complain that she could hear it. Now with the Desire I find that sometimes I can't hear it and that's at full volume.
I know this is probably obvious but I take it you have gone through. Audio settings
And maxed the volume? And checked any volume controls on headphones? If both set to max
And still not loud then the handset is faulty so get it replaced
Now!!
Mine set to max would be at ear bleeding levels!!
The speaker quality isn't great, but considering I don't use them that much it is good enough for me.
Am a little surprised with the headphone issues, considering that I have my volume set just under halfway and it is more than loud enough for me.
I am using my Sennheiser earphones, but the volume is fine with the supplied HTC ones too.
what kind of bit-rates are you using for music? ... 128? or more, ... as the quality effects the loudness somehow I believe.
try experimenting with different bit rates and see how that goes

I think this might be due to new UE regulations about maximum volume in mobile devices, though im not 100% sure if its already in the system.
However Im pretty sure that in couple days/weeks there will be some hacks/apps/ to change that
So have I got a faulty phone?
Or are people just overly forgiving??
Everything is set to max. I've also noticed that the Mic quality in videos is also shockingly poor in terms of volume. I wonder if all of these functions are shared by the same chipset.
leoni, I'm having just the same problem. I think it must be a problem with some of these phones. I can't believe that people are just being overly forgiving.
I'm not looking to push the volume up too high, but if I can't hear it when there's a little background noise going on, then that's a serious design flaw.
I'd like to do a comparison with another Desire at some point, hopefully I'll bump into someone using one soon...
Just to answer some of the above questions/suggestions:-
I'm using MP3s in 256k bit rate format. All volume controls are set to max and there is no volume control on the headphones I am using.
I'm sending mine back. I'm due an upgrade on Monday anyway so I'll test one in the shop and see if It's the same. The headphone volume is the main issue for me; its just too low.
I also think that the volume is way too low. Just out of curiosity, could this be a Rom issue? I'm using the stock TMO Rom. To the people who think it's loud enough, which Rom are you on?
My biggest problem is with the volume through the headphones....speaker volume I can live with, though it is crap and tinny
I think this must be an issue on your phone or you expect it to be crazy loud. I swapped out my ipod for this today on a good set of headphones (AKG KE518LE's) and the volume levels seem identical. As for the speaker, i find mine is a tad on the loud side to be honest. I find myself having to knock it dont a few notches on the volume.

are you on TMO ROM?
Loud speaker isn't audible above the sound of my shower, which is a real shame as coming from a n95 8gb the loud speaker was great. Oh well. I'm a forgiving type!
I have found music volume to be pretty low but I'm fairly convinced it is a software/Rom issue because the volume in some applications is loud! Doesn't made much sense. Running T-mob here.
Noticed this happening the other day. I can still hear fine to some degree, but it sounds like the speaker has rattling or static sound. Wondering if anyone else has had this issue? I'm running the latest project nexus build, though I don't think its related. Speaker still functions as it should, just with all the feedback noise. Any help is much appreciated, hoping there could be a different solution than replacing the speaker.
My earpiece speaker rattles and/or buzzes at higher volumes - not excessively high volumes either, but levels you might need in a noisy environment. I have to turn it down a bit to stop it. If it was any worse, I'd request a replacement. The earpiece speaker is not terribly high quality compared to most of my previous phones.

Sadly when I turn my volume down I still get the same amount of feedback, just at a lower volume.
I have only noticed it since I received the March 2016 Security Update.
Edit: I should probably say I have noticed it more since I received the March 2016 Security Update.
I have a Nexus 5X H790 bought in the US, and here in Brazil this model has not yet been arrive. With less than a month has problem in the ear speaker. The voice was distorted, noisy. I lost the warranty, but changed by a Nexus 5 (2013) speaker. Yes, they are compatible, and the replacement is very easy.
Good evening everyone, I noticed that my Pixel Watch, during calls with a low volume the audio is really low, while if I turn up the volume, the audio distorts a lot. Anyone have the same problem? is it a problem with the Pixel Watch?
It appears to be a defect in the design.
I read about a lot of people getting the watch replaced by Google.
Hi is anyone else facing in call low volume? i can barely hear people on the other end of the call, i believe the sound is coming from the speaker on top of the phone rather than the earpiece.
Isn't that speaker supposed to be for loudspeaker?
Thanks
I've also noticed the earpiece speaker is pretty low. It's only a tiny slot at the top of the phone though.

This problem android 13
I found the solution.
Sold the phone
No such issue for me, in quiet enviroment I cant even push it above 50% because it would be too loud.
