Low external speakers - OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers

Hey guys .. my op3 volume suddenly became too low
The problem is the external speakers,Ear piece is fine. Also headsets volume is loud and clear..
Tried restarting,clearing cache,even a factory reset..
It became low to the point that a friend of mine with a one plus one is louder than my op3 !!
Any ideas ?
Phone is not rooted but IAM willing to root if there is a workaround that can fix this ..

facing the same issue with my op3..my friends op3 is fine though..idk,it used to be good.. It sounds like the volume is at low 50%..I remember getting sudden boost once I flashed a rom (don't remember which one)..I stopped experimenting with it and now,its horrible as always...exactly the same case. All I do now is cache clear after every beta update

Dust or dirt in the speaker filter. Happened to me as well. What I did and you can do is to remove the back casing and either remove or clean the speaker filter

Well.. I now think it might be a hardware problem
Cleaned the speakers and even rolled back to nouget stable with no change

try to slide down the "button" while talking (the sliding one on the side)
I think what he means is that everytime he makes a call, it is always on the loudspeaker and not the normal speaker used for calls.

i have similar problem also , but last time it was on and off thing but now everytime i make or receive a call it goes loud even though i didn't turn the loudspeaker on, and also if i connect the wired headset and soft reset i can't use any speaker while making or receive a call , have to use the headset. need to know whether it's a hardware or software problem
My Dopod M700 also experienced this problem before, I try so many ways but didn't work. Finally, I bring my device to HTC service center, luckily still under warranty. They said the problem is due to the mainboard is faulty and they change the mainboard and everything goes normal again.

HELP PLEASE! I can't hear caller voice

All of the sudden I can't hear caller voice, but when I put on speaker then everything is ok. I then switch back to regular mode and can't hear. As if I am on mute. Anyone have the same problem? or help me pin the problem. The phone rings fine.
Please help the old guy out geniuses.
Thanks in advance
hi,
i think that your problem is not software but hardware...it happend to me...just the little speaker broked....you have to change that or you can use with bluetooth headset....
Keep in mind that this is my experiene , i don't know if it be the same for you..but i think so
How many speaker are there on the phone? I thought only one right? the music, handfree speaker is fine. If there are more than one speaker, please direct me a site where I can order it. Thanks
For some reason, I think this is more software problem then hardware. The phone is in my case and never drop and taking really good care of it.
Hi!
I have same issues here.
I think there is a rom problem or somenthing like that...
Here I have to reset.. make alot of calls to test .. raise de volume up.. change speaker and works... its really annoying.
BTW.. I was using Cloudy 1.3 and was flawlessly. Changed to Gen.Y D2 R2 , issue is back .. =(
I think it's a software problem.Have you installed any software like codec or some other audio/sound application?If so try to uninstall it and resart your device.If not try a hard reset.

i believe there are 2 speakers in diamond, one is for ringer and speaker phone the other is for calling.
try switching back to Cloudy 1.3 and see if problem still exist?
if there are then your speaker is broken otherwise it's the rom problem.
Guys, just FYI the same issue appears when you install SRS WOW HD sound driver v1.5.1. Version 1.2.1 was working smoothly on diamond, but once i installed this new one, all sounds are mute for some reason and once i uninstalled it again, it was back to normal. Don't know if this will help, anyways with this issue you don't hear anything (ringer, alarm, caller)...
Actually I had the same problem, it was the internal speaker giving problems... u might hve to give it in for repairs if u can....
Hearing aid batterys? lol
I also have this problem... I believe that some of the ROMs that I've installed before set the speaker volume too high which resulted in the speaker blowing. I suggest you either send the phone in for repairs or search for software on XDA which turns the speakerphone on automatically when you make calls, that's how I get around this. You just put it by your ear like normal and you can still hear the phonecall =) Seems like HTC uses really crappy speakers in their phones...

Same problem here. My voice is very muffled and to be honest I'm getting tired with having to shout down the phone. Everyone says it sounds like I'm underwater or have my hand over my mouth.
Anyone know what's caused this? On the Trinity Vengeance RaptorXL 2.5 JB ROM

I've been trying to work this out for months. There have been a LOT of posts about this on the Sony forums, but no one has a definitive fix yet. Some people have fixed theirs by turning off noise suppression. Others have fixed it by turning off vibrate when ring. Others have restored their firmware 3 or 4 times before it went back to normal.
My fix was to press the volume rocker a few times when picking up the call. This would normally work, however lately it hasn't been doing a thing.

Callee: very bad audio when calling

Recently I have been getting very bad sound when calling someone.
I can hear the callee perfectly but they can barely hear me, I sound like a 'fish in the water' or with a very big 'echo'.
This has been the case after updating to Lollipop.
Hi,
i have the same issue...
i cant use the handsfree or microphone as listeners report they can hardly hear me....all since the lollipop update...
any ideas ?

I Am Assuming you are using Stock Lollipop FW from Sony
Head to Settings>Call
Enable Microphone Noise Suppression, Set the Equalizer to Bright and enable the Speaker Voice Enhancement
Also make sure you are on Max Volume when In-calls

Nope, I only tried the solution suggested above, I have yet to encounter the problem again.
I just tried same thing with equalizer. I will see if this will work. @Devenda, any news since 2 days ago?

Nope, still stable, I tested it but the audio was clear.
Problem is that this issue comes and go's randomly, so all I can do at this moment is wait...
None of the suggestions described worked for me. This bugged me so much I was forced to run to RR rom.. Problem solved but I miss Sony's great battery life ??
I have the same problem.
Only the equaliser was different (normal), I've changed it to bright and will see.
Don't you think it is a problem with radio reception ? I'm not sure but I think I have not the same number of bars than before. I haven't got an other 4G phone to compare.
Equaliser doesn't work for me.
I have changed prefered network, it was 4g prefered. I've changed to 3g. It seems to be working.
Can somebody try ?
I solved my problem during the calls when i unchecked the improvement of voice
If you have tried all the other options and still not working but you have v4a sound mod installed, this might help - http://forum.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/help/viper4android-deactivates-mic-t3124764
I had same problem after update to lollipop and try everything mentioned before and nothing helped. Then I low down speaker volume ( volume key down) while call is active and that worked for me. I suppose that lollipop have some problem with duplexer. Level of sound in speaker is litle low but at least caller can understand me normally.

Greetings, I hope you are fine.
I'll just let you know my experience with that, I had a similar one to yours. Instead my voice was stuttering and ghostly, like something came out of Paranormal activities. xD
The only solution I found to this was that it was a problem with the hardware itself, IE. the mic of your phone. Maybe you wanna give your phone to the warranty company and see what they say about it. In my case, they fixed it and it's working fine now.
I hope I helped
Yours.

Calling issues

I am facing extremely poor call quality on m op3. it all started when my device's call volume became extremely low all of a sudden..as workaround i strted using the modified mixer_paths_tasha.xml file, which worked really well for a few months.. then again my woes started as people started complaining of getting echoes whenever they made a call to me.. And I have been facing the same issue ever since. even going back to stock rom didnt solve it. It has literally left my device unusable as a daily driver.....:crying::crying:

++for people having this echo problem, install DeFluence app.. The echo subsides, but then the volume still remains unbearably low.. Phone can't be used in the streets..

Maybe there's dust trapped in the earpiece
I have this exact same issue. I can barely hear anyone through my earpiece. Also when using my handsfree it seems every few secs the person can't hear me though I can hear them the whole time :s
+1 with the low volume on ANY rom installed. A workout(ish) for this can be done with this or this or maybe this or if you like odd tryies like some ppl did here just go ahead and try them
+1 Earpiece volume is poor. Have to press the phone over my ears to hear. Unable to hear with any ambient noise.
Also have the problem of the calls going completely silent for a few seconds.. neither party can hear each other. Its not the network since I have tried other phones to eliminate the network.
Last OnePlus device for me
