hi all
i have a parrot bt handsfree installed in the car. i used it with my nokia 6310 and volume was really good. i could unterstand everything while going 160km/h on the highway.
now i have my xda2 which i use with the parrot as well. but volume is REALLY low. i know how to adjust the vol with the slider of course it's all up. but still too quiet. it's acceptable for driving in town but that's all.
is there ANY way to make that louder? i realized that with my old mdaI volume of the built in speaker went down when doing the upgrade to ppc2003. maybe this is an issue here as well?
maybe m$ lowers the volume so there will noone to sue them because of defness
pls help
regards ize|man
Ok so I used the headset that came with my XDA Exec after about 5 months and then I removed the headset as I was done listening to music with them. All of a sudden I don't have sound coming from the ear piece that you would use to talk on the phone if you were holding it in portrait mode. Speaker phone works fine and I can still hear music in this mode, but out of the actual ear piece I can't hear anything. People can hear me fine so the mic is ok. Now here is the strange part. If I flip the screen and put it in the "laptop mode" I can hear out of the ear piece from the phone. Anyone have any ideas or know of a place that does repairs? I am in Phoenix, AZ. Thank you in advance and if you need more info just ask.
Hi All. Loving my new xperia except for the speaker level, which is far too low for car navigation and not too good for handsfree calls. Can anyone advise on increasing the speake volume please. Thanks.
How to increase the volume of the speaker
I have the same question.
The speaker is not loud enough. I heard that there are two volume settings that can increased separately to add up. It's that true?
This has already been dealt with here:

In other words no.
The small hole where the speaker is is very easily covered up (try playing an mp3 and put your thumb over the hole then removing it) You will see a HUGE drop in volume.
This especially annoying when i'm missing calls because the phone is in my pocket.
My previous phone the K700 allowed sound to 'leak' out...I am wondering whether drilling some holes in the case might improve things
hi guys,
just got my new x1. I am familiar with WM and HTC as I have spent almost whole summer playing with Kaiser so x1 is nothing new to me. however, the first thing which i have noticed is that the volume during call in x1 is just too loud although it's set to minimum. Kaiser wasn't that loud. so, the thing is that I am bit of suffering when i need to talk to someone as the volume is too loud and I can hear "beeeeep" in my ear. crap, isn't it?
do you guys by any chance know if there is any way to change the speaker volume while on the call so that it's not as loud as it is now? is there any plugin allowing user to better control the volume of the interlocutor?
any thoughts will be highly appreciated!
Thanks
no ideas? does that mean I am the only one suffering from this issue? :/
during calling just presse up-down hardware button on upside of the x1
in normal operation they set system/ring volume, during phone operation they set the speaker call volume
I have the same problem. I have set the volume to the lowest possible setting yet it is still loud. I would expect the lowest possible setting to be mute.
Is there anyway of getting it so that the volume bar works in a more sensible way?
*bump*
Anything on this? I can't keep my phone on my ear when i'm talking with someone. Have to keep a few cm's distance or my head splits. Call volume is at minimum..
hey there. first post on the forum but i've been reading for a few weeks already and finally bought an Xperia.
Anyway, I have the same problem as you guys: even on the lowest setting, volume is still too loud during a call. I've looked accross the net and didn't find any relevant info on how to solve this does anyone have any idea on how that would be solvable ? registry trick or something ?
thanks in advance
hmmm, my situation is totally different. My X1i volume during call is set to maximum and it's too quiet for me. When I'm outside, on the street I can't hear person hanging on the other side. At home, when it's quiet it's all ok.
My ears are quite good , I've tested them 2 months ago.
If you guys have already tried what webguitar mentions above, then i think you may have a problem with your specific handset
There are a couple of threads in the forum about ways to increase volume ...but I've certainly not seen anything suggesting its too loud
Have been using mine since November and never found the volume to be too high

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Same here...but using SRS Wow HD i managed to get louder sound.
well, of course i've used the side rocker -_-
it's just that i feel that instead of adjusting between
quiet - - - - - - - - - - loud
it seems more like it adjusts between
normal - - - - - - - - - loud
again, i'm talking about the volume during a call, not for the speaker or the system sound.
it isn't that loud if you are in a noisy environement, but when i'm sitting in the silence of
my room... it just feels loud. i never had such a problem with any previous phones o_o
and various changes in HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\ doesn't seem to change anything
so i was thinking, maybe there is a "minimum volume value" setting somewhere...
Nocturnal310, D-fens, please do not throw the topic off course
Definitely there IS a issue with the volume being FAR too loud on the lowest setting (this is 20% for me)
I'm embarrassed to talk on the phone in the office, as everyone within five meters hear both sides of my conversation and asks if I'm deaf. I'm not! It's the bloody phone!
Is there a way to set the speaker volume to less than 20% (5% for example)?
Im talking about the phone's Earpiece volume during a call and NOT THE SPEAKER OR HEADPHONES VOLUME!
My Omnia 7 was a lot quiet initially. In fact, if I am in a noisy place..thats the end of the conversation! But even after the firmware update XENJK from samfirmwares.com and then finally the NoDo update using Chevron, I wasnt happy with the volume. So I tried something and found the earpiece to be louder now (I am not sure if it is really working or if it is really logical).. its been two days and many of my calls where loud and clear. Please dont blame me if it is not working!

Now you will have your Diagnosis (Ver. 1027)
*#0*#
you will have 15 tiles, tap the "MelodyRecv"
a white screen will be displayed, with the Samsung music played on your ear piece (dont put the phone on your ear, you will disable the test)
now increase the volume as its playing to 30 (I know that the ringer volume is increased but just do it)
Now quit the diagnosis by pressing the back button
Try calling someone and see if your earpiece volume is better now (make sure its at 10)
let me know if it works.. or if its the same or if you have any other solution, share it with us..
Thanks
The loud speaker is way better than that on HD2 but the front speaker seems really low to me
So I'll have to try this out!
I don't know if this is just a placebo effect but this really seemed to work for me....
Actually scratch that I reversed it by changing it to a 10 in the volume control and its actually quieter *i think*
The method works or not? thanks
