All was going fine till yesterday when I was calling my mom and talking with her the volume of the speaker of my K-JAM suddenly drops down. I increased the volume during the call but no improvement, I was hardly hearing her so I used the hands free for the later call. After that I hard reset the K-JAM and tried a test call but still same. Now some people are also complaining about noise during the call.
Any suggestions or work around ?

Hi All,
I'm using my wizard as a cell phone (without bluetooth), and the people on the other end complain that they hear themselves, with a second-long delay. They hear me just fine, but it's really distracting to hear what you just said come back to you about a second later (it's very low volume, obviously). What I'm saying does not come back to me, only the people on the other end have this problem. Is there any solution to this problem? Is this a known problem? I'm on WM6, 2.19.11 radio and use Rogers in Canada.
Thanks!
Thats usually a sign you have your earpiece volume set too high and it is passing back to them via the mike.
Try turning the volume down whilst in a call and see if that helps.
Thanks, buit it doesn't seem to work too well. I think it may be on the recieving side, or may have something to do with reception. Actually, I noticed that the speaker volume adjusting doesn't actually make the speaker louder/quieter, it has next to no effect.
Hi guys, I was hoping maybe someone can help me out and diagnose my problem. For the first part of the day, my phone worked normally. I could make/receive calls without any problem. All of a sudden in the late afternoon, I got a call from the 'missus' and she could not hear me at all. I thought it was just the phone possibly acting up so I rebooted and then called her back. She picked up but could not hear anything from my end. This went back and forth a few times until I reached for the home phone to call her back. After our conversation I tested the voice record and unless I talk very very LOUD and directly with my mouth/lips on the mic, the phone will pick up NOTHING. Even if I'm just a few inches away, it will not pick up my voice whatsoever. Is there some sort of setting that allows you to adjust mic sensitivity? I'm on the latest official Sprint ROM and was wondering if reflashing might do the trick? From my understanding of microphones, they either work or don't work right? I mean it IS picking up my voice, I just have to yell to high hell for it to do so. And even then the playback will not be nearly as loud as the volume I was yelling at (yes my speakers work correctly). Thanks in advance!

I've been noticing the following strange behavior:
Sometimes the in-call volume is just too loud. Even on the minimum volume setting someone standing a couple of meters away from you will still perfectly hear the conversation. This only happens when receiving a call, never (as far as I can tell) when making one.
If during the call I switch on and then off the speaker, then the volume goes back to what it should be.
Has anyone noticed this before? Workarounds?
Yes, I've noticed this.
Always does it when it has been connected to a headset.
I seem to remember it went away when I installed the Modoco rom...
Mine still does it with the Modaco rom
@squirreleater: Thanks for your reply. It is just as you say
@both: Do you know if the latest HTC firmware fixes this issue? I know, I know, but I can't find the time these days to upgrade and find for myself
I`m on the latest MCR and it still does it. Its really P*****G me off now. I hate to take a call because of it.. Surely more people than us 3 are seeing this?
Yup, same thing for me although I've never noticed a difference between receiving and making calls (will watch out for that now). Quietest setting is still ridiculously loud. I'm on MCR 2.6 but have noticed on other roms as well.
I've noticed this too, but seems as though when I press volume up, it starts working again and allows me to lower the volume.
I can confirm that your workaround is just fine. Thanks.
So if i press volume up then down it will go quieter?
I will try this next call i get...
I am getting this same problem ... thanks for the tip I will try it.
I just noticed this. but after having my hero for like over a month. Could have appeared when i installed like 3 games yesterday but cant see why games would cause that to happen. but yea the workaround of increasing then decreasing the volume works. and it only happens when i receive the call. strange...
I still have the problem of when i make or receive a call the volume is so so loud even at the min setting.
But today when i was on the phone with my ear drums nearly bleeding....i had another call beeping through (call waiting) and noticed that straight away the volume of the call that i was on decreased to a sensibly level!!
Once i finished the call, i thought it may have been a one off so i dialled another number and then got someone to phone me while i was on the call and yet again the volume somehow dropped to a sensibly level.
Any ideas guys?
If only i could always have the volume like this, this handset would be perfect.
This also happens if your on the phone and get an SMS, HTC have admitted the volume problem is a "known issue" but there is so far no results of them having fixed it.

To me, the in call volume sounds a bit low even on full volume......maybe im just deaf!
i also got a problem with my hhd2 sound. while im in a call with my g/f and i lay down on my side while holding the phone, so its like its flat on the table after that it vibrates and goes to sppeaker phone?

Incall volume has always been a problem on this device and I think there is another thread related to this issue. It has been noticed that when you are on a call, the volume, evn though on the lowest level is usually way too loud and uncomfortable for the ears.
This might help you as it works for me: while on a call, I increase the volume to max and turn it back down to lowest level. you will straightaway notice that the volume has reduced cosiderably. This has been my "short term" solution until the issue is resolved. Hope that helps.
This problem seems to be new.
Whenever I Video call, Skype or hangouts. My call volume is so low that i can barely hear the other person. Even with the volume turned all the way up in settings its still so low i can barely hear them. I thought maybe it was a hardware problem, however when i play music or even use speaker phone on a non video call the sound is loud and clear. Something seems to be switching the volume to a much lower setting right as the call picks up. Has anyone else seen this problem?

Hello... I'm posting almost a year after yours to say that I had the same problem with my Note 3 on JasmineROM 2.4.4. I never looked into it, because I didn't do video calls very often, and I just got used to using a bluetooth headset to make the calls.
I now have a Note 4 Developer Edition, and I gave the Note 3 to my wife. We did a video call this morning, and she said she couldn't hear me at all. So, the problem has come back. But, the problem is... she can't just use a bluetooth headset because we do video calls so that I can see my son when I'm not at home... and I want him to hear me. Good luck keeping a bluetooth headset on a toddler.
Did you ever find a root cause (or a solution) to this problem?
Thanks.
