When I am talking to someone on the phone and I am in a quiet room the Min. volume is too load and i have to hold the phone away from my ear. Is there a way to lower the min. volume or perhaps some kind of volume control manager?
Strange, I have the opposite problem. My max volume is too quiet. I can't really hear the caller when driving my car (even with the windows up). This isn't normally a problem since I use a bluetooth headset usually, but sometimes makes things tough.

New HTC owner here. I find the call volume very low and often have to either press hard on the ear or find a spot on the ear that has the most volume. Its about 30% less then my lasy pos motorola. Is there any fix to crank up the volume? I have it set on the highest.

For me its the opposite, if I turn the volume to the maximum, i have to hold the phone a few centimetres away from my ear...
I assume you have tried the volume button on the side when in a call?

Yeah, i've read some threads about volume being too loud. I tried the side button too but its way too low even at a highest level
It sounds weird, but Radios play an important role in all of this. Try a different radio and see if the volume goes up.
press the volume buttons "during" a call....this volume is different from the volume in regular standby use..........hope it helps
I remember the boards on a mall when i get a call from someone. The upper floor had the body modifications shop named "Ear piercing" and the lower floor had a music shop named "Dolby music". It just happened that their boards were one above the other.
I am listening to some music on headphones, i get a call, answer it with the headset button, and YIKES!! the volume is maximum. even if the volume controller shows minimum, the sound is practically maximum.
it happens so that whenever i make a call, its at its maximum volume. even when not playing music.
over the past years i have used many android ROMs and have faced the same problem with many of them. few didnt.
and with years, comes wisdom (not blowing my own trumpet). I got a workaround for it on any ROM! if i change the volume level (increase or decrease) during a call, the phone then realises its mistake and goes down to the level in the volume controller.
my phone's in call volume is always set at its minimum. i get a call, pierce my ears, and turn the volume one step UP, and the volume level is acceptably low. (when the volume is minimum, lowering it doesnt work!)
i ask help to automate this workaround (a fix would be welcome, but i havent seen any coming around these past years)
could some tasker expert provide an xml or anything for this workaround to be performed automatically? (non tasker workarounds would be welcome as well)
the works to be done are:
1. when a phone call (incoming, or outgoing) is CONNECTED (not the ringing part on outgoing calls) turn the volume one step up. some milliseconds delay would ascertain that the volume goes up AFTER the call is actually connected, which is a must.
2. within the smallest fraction of time allowable (so that we dont notice it) turn the volume one step down.
results: the volume will not pierce our ears anymore, even if the volume level was minimum at call start, this trick would work.
Please throw some light, some expert.
bump!
Bump.
I have a similar problem with my vzw gnex running poweramp and etymotic headphones with microphone.
If I answer an incoming call it is at complete max volume, if I long press the button on the headphones to get to "voice command" the normally pleasant android voice lady comes in at a blaring max volume as well.
Now running Jellybean OTA strait from vzw.
This issue seems to be caused by the audio firmware in use. I found a firmware blob that defaults to an in-call volume about half-way through. It doesn't remember the last volume you set, but at least you won't go deaf if you forget to press Vol Up after initiating the call.
Grab the htcleo.zip file from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=860850 and either replace the htcleo.acdb file in your rom or delete the one in your rom and use the downloaded file to replace the default.acdb file (the files are located in /system/etc/firmware/). I'm currently using NexusHD2-JellyBean from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1930240 and this trick seems to work.
I noticed the same firmware blob is used this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=933951 which I used previously and didn't have this high in-call volume issue.
Hi, does anyone else's volume off click when using the rocker switch to turn the volume down sound a bit odd, it sounds like its too loud and is distorting the tiny speaker. Its more then you usual bloop noise I get a raspy click over the top as i the speaker is damaged in some way, had this since new, kept meaning to check this out.
I get it every time I turn the volume to max from off, but sometimes when I turn volume to zero from max, its like something is rattling in the speaker, hard to explain.
Hey, first off to make things more clear here are some facts:
Phone: Nexus 6P
Earphones: Betron DC950 Earphones
Music App: Spotify
Shed Location: Bottom of Garden
Bit of a weird one here...
I bought the earphones from amazon with the intentions of them being a 'daily driver' if you will.
However; when I use them when playing my drums (which is my shed) they constantly turn the volume down.
This does not happen straight away though, it ranges from 5-10 minutes (after starting a song).
When it does happen though, the volume is turned down in increments.
When I press volume up the volume does go up.... But then turns straight back down after.
This is the only happens in my shed...
And i've used another pair of earphone + headphones which Do not have this problem.
Any ideas?
I have this exact same problem with a pair of headphones which I got from ExtremeGuard.
Happened everywhere to me though..
I find it completely bizarre that it only happens in 1 location, which means there's got to be some electromagnetic interference or something. The earphones have volume toggle and play/pause button on them, maybe it could be that.
My earphones only have a mic, and no volume toggles though.
Got the exact same issue. This happens for me when there's noise around the mic. I tried shaking the mic and could clearly see the volume indicator showing that the volume drops in increments.
Did you find any kind of solution?
That's pretty much it.
Volume is normal on the speaker during calls but as soon as I plug in a pair of headphones/earphones the volume gets too loud even if I keep it at the lowest setting. It is so high that it becomes physically painful to keep using them so I'm forced to keep on using the phone speaker which to be honest is not something that I like to do while at my desk.
The media volume is completely normal regardless of wether I'm using headphones or not, this problem seems to appear only during calls.
Please help.
