Hello,
I do not use the phone feature very often, but recently I had to take some calls while driving and could hardly understand what the other person is saying, because the speaker phone volume is really low.
Now, of course I set the volume to max and checked every setting I could find related to phone calls. I even went into the service menu and did the speaker tests. There I realized that the speaker phone is using a different speaker as the one that is used to play back music or other sounds. The same sound sample is used in the tests and it is much softer in the speaker phone test compared to the mono or stereo speaker tests.
Is there any hack, setting or configuration file change I can do to use the mono or stereo speaker for the speaker phone feature?
Please help, this is the only gripe with this fine phone I have.
Same problem here.
Solutions, anyone?

Hi all,
Just got me a Sony DR-BT10CX bluetooth stereo headset. I'm new to these things, so I have a bit of a newbie question. The sound is quite good, much better than the ones that came with my HTC Touch (obviously), but there's a considerable static in the background, that seems to increase when I increase volume, but only when regulated on the headset itself. If I increase volume on my Touch (in WMP, or volume slider), the static doesn't seem to increase. I was just wondering if this is normal in these headsets? This headset sells in Holland for just under E100,-, so not really expensive, but not really low end either. Could it be a faulty headset or crappy design?
All thoughts and experiences very welcome...
Thanks,
Driekus
A2DP question
Might be a silly question, but have you tried turning the volume on the Touch up to 80% and turning the headset's hardware volume setting down??
Some A2DP stereo headsets have a particular setting they work best at..
Failing that, you may simply have a headset with firmware that really isn't perfectly compatible with your PDA...
Good luck,

As a matter of fact the volume on my touch is currently up to 100% as is the one in WMP, so that I can keep the volume setting on my headset low, but that's not really how it should work I think. Besides, incoming calls are now very low volume, so I have to adjust the volume on the headset everytime a call comes in (and quickly lower it when I hang up in order to prevent hearing loss...) and I tend to miss appointment-announcements by MS Voicecommand because of this as well.
I guess the headset isn't perfectly compatible with my Touch, as sound sometimes skips (which is even more annoying because it doesn't happen all the time) and my pda doesn't automatically connect to my headset (solved with A2DP-plugin, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1503123#post1503123), but I'm not sure whether the background hiss is because of this too.
hello everybody,
Sorry if this has been already discussed, I've searched the forum but couldn't find any answer!
My ring volume is low, sometimes the vibration makes louder "noise" than the ring itself, no matter what ringtone I set. All the time the ring volume is set to maxim and I try to use only built in tones.
Any ideea how to increase the volume? Does the speaker tweak work also for this (the Audio3 para file)?
Many thanks,
Radu
my speaker is loud as ****!!! are you sure you don't have a bad speaker? time for a warranty exchange?
I agree. It does sound like you have a bad speaker. On max volume, my device is quite deafening (I usually set it down a notch).
Try playing a song at max volume without headset connected so that it'll play through the rear speakers. If the volume is satisfactory, then it's probably a software fault somewhere (ring volume vs device volume?). If the volume is still soft, then you've got a bad speaker.
Thanks
Thank you for your answers.
I did some test and I really hope it's not a speaker problem. During a phone call, on speaker, I could listen very well outside, in a crowded & noisy space. Only the ring tones seems to be lower volume, at least for my ears.

i am hv
aving the same problem. mine worked great till the phone froze up and then it reset it self, and all my info was gone and the ring volume was weak.
will keep looking but thinking i will have to reflash the unit
have you installed any program?
have you installed any program before this? I realized my problems might have come from KeepMyRingTones app... after a hard reset sound seems to be better, but still not as I wanted to be.
Same problem here...I wish the ringer was really loud. I used to have a nokia n82 and really loved the ringer and speaker volumes on it. Hoping Windows 6.5 will improve the ringer on this phone.
Try installing SRS Wow HD or HDTweak
Both have increase in volume settings
Is there a way to increase in-call volume past the default maximum? I tried disabling voice privacy, using Volume+ and manually editing build.prop, all to no avail. I'm running the VZW (LTE) Galaxy Nexus.
Thanks!
Wait on Samsung to use decent speakers in the GNEXII?
I agree it's annoying. The speakers (earpiece and external speaker) are junk. Shocked that they actually sourced such crappy hardware for a "flagship" phone.

I think my phone is defective. I can't change the IN CALL volume while on a call. Using the volume rocker, you see it move up and down on the screen but the volume stays the same.
I have the same problem
I'm really frustrated. The in-call volume on my phone is so quiet, I can barely use it unless I'm in a quiet environment. I have installed volume+, which works great to boost sound level of rings, noises, and music playing from the speaker. But the Volume+ settings for bluetooth and in-call do nothing.
It's funny... when I'm on the bluetooth speaker phone for my car and call someone, it's loud for the first ring, and then much quieter from the second ring onward.
If someone could help fix this problem, I would be extremely grateful.
Thanks,
Kevin
I'm still on stock... so that might be my problem. I have a Motorola Oasis BT and love it, but when I hit the button for voice dialer, it's always at half volume. It resets back to that EVERY TIME! I hate that it can't confirm what it thinks I said. I've dialed so many wrong people... UGH! This has to be a Google issue. I only wish CD+ worked with 4.0. The programmer told me there is no way it will ever be updated to work.
The sound volume through the BT is nothing like my EVO. Even my loud talkers I can barely hear now even on the highest settings.
I want to root the device and hope something comes out to fix it. I drive a truck and need to hear without having to pull off the road.
Hi everyone,
2 weeks ago I retired my Galaxy S1 and upgraded to a P6. I love a lot about it, and now with the european P125 upgrade, the wifi connectivity issues seem to be resolved as well.
But one issue still seems to come up:
When I have headphones without a mic connected (in my case, Sennheiser HD-25-1), the call quality as perceived by the recipient is horrible when there is ambient noise present (for example in a bus).
So, whenever I listen to music and I receive a call - when I don't disconnect my headphones and use my P6 like usual, I hear the other person just fine, but he hears the ambient noise much much louder than usual.
When I disconnect the headphones, everything is back to normal.
This wasn't the case with my old SGS...
So I did a few experiments:
- Without ambient noise, the recipient doesn't notice much of a difference whether I use headphones or not
- With ambient noise (simulated by loud radio), when I don't use headphones, the other person hears me fine, much louder than the ambient.
- With ambient noise and connected headphones, my voice is as loud as the ambient noise, so the other person has big troubles understanding me
- Now, when I talk to the *top* of the P6 (right next to the USB port) into the mic that is used to filter out ambient noise during calling, my voice is *louder* than before - so at least that is a small workaround to that
So it seems to me, that when I connect headphones, the upper mic is used only, while without connected headphones, the lower mic is used as primary mic and the upper one is used just for filtering out ambient.
Anyway, it's doing something that I don't want it to do and now I wonder if I can change it
(By the way, I tried with 3 different headphones, doesn't make a difference).
I have a P6 that used to have B606 and now has B125 and it behaved the same for both software versions.
Soooo.. any clues?
regards,

Go to Settings/Sound/Dolby Digital Plus and uncheck it. See if that helps.
It's already unchecked... :/
I have noticed the same problem...
very annoying...

Is anyone else upset about the low volume while on a call. Is there anyway to change it? Or modify etc/path.XML. just need a little boost not much. Already using viper and dual audio speaker mod so those don't seem to help at all as they don't control the ear piece. I'm rooted on latest pure nexus.
I actually sometimes put in-call volume too high and it hurts my ear unless I hold the phone away an inch or two because it's too loud.
I have WiFi calling turned on, and voice privacy off.
NO issue at all! It's call quality is great! Crystal clear and loud sound!
Perhaps the dual speaker mod affected call volume in some way? I don't have that mod but do have V4A. No issues with call volume.
Hmm, probably the ROM. Cause this phone has the best call quality I have ever experienced, and too loud, and look where I live! Including them old Nokias and Motorolas and BlackBerries.
