Use speakerphone as earpiece? - Mogul, XV6800 General

I was wondering if anyone had found a way to lower the volume on the speaker phone so that you could use it as the ear piece instead of the one on the front? I am wondering because I hate getting the screen all dirty when I use the regular ear piece and I thought since the mic is on the bottom you could just use the speaker on the back and not mess up the screen. However, when I have tried this the sound is way too loud to have next to my ear. I have searched for a way to lower this volume to a decent level, but found nothing. The other hard part is that I also want to be able to turn the speaker back up when I want to use it as a real speaker phone so I don't want to just lower the overall volume through the speaker. Does anyone know of a way to get more range out of the speaker volume so I can do this? Are there any hacks, tips, or programs that will do this? Any help would be much appreciated!

Using NueAudio, you can configure each part, speaker included. I am sure you can lower the speaker to almost nothing and it should work as a regular earpiece.

Low Phone headset volume

I would like to know if there is a way to hack the registry to increase / boost the phone headset volume. Please note I am not talking about the "speakerphone" volume, I just find that when talking to someone on the phone headset it seems alot softer than the Wizard that I had before, even when the volume is set to max.
i would also like to know how to do this. i feel like my wizards ear piece volume was deafening.. but on the tytn its so incredibly low
I don't have a problem with the headset, but even on the highest volume setting the phone's earpiece speaker is a bit too quiet.
Any thoughts anyone?
Thanks.
Same hear, just to darn low at the highest volume setting. I see there are fixes for other HTC phones but nothing specific for this phone. Has anyone on this board managed to hack the registry and find an effective fix to increase the earpiece volume?
i'd love this as well - just bought one of these :

and the volume level is VERY disappointing. my wizard used to have an acceptable volume level but i can't imagine being able to hear music on my tytn with traffic around. :-(

Speaker Volume Low

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

Anyone found a solution to the low speaker volume???

The low speaker volume is driving me crazy. Anyone have a mod to increase the volume? Thanks.

While powered on and on your home screen (or any other screen), press and hold the 'volume up' rocker, otherwise known as volume+.
But seriously, it's HTC specific. Their speakers aren't very good for speakerphone. Just the nature of the beast.
I have found that if you put the phone face up on a flat surface, like a tabletop or something similar, it helps that weak little speaker by reflecting some sound onto and off the surface. It works for me. In contrast, the EVO, another HTC product has a much better and louder speaker, go figure. It's a shame that HTC chose this crappy tiny and tinny sounding speaker for the MT4G. Alternately, when I'm in a group listening to speaker-phone, I just take my BlueAnt S4 out of the car and place it on the table, where everyone can hear just fine through that Bluetooth device. If you do a lot of speaker-phone meetings, it may be worth getting one for yourself.

Ear Speaker Volume Question

Just wondering if anyone can confirm the ear speaker volume on the Atrix. It seems lower than most. The exterior speaker is awesome and produces great sound, but speaking on my Atrix the first time yesterday the volume seemed low, both ringing in the ear speaker and the caller. I am trying to determine whether or not there is a defection so if someone could let me know if it's just lower than most phones or they suspect there is a problem i would appreciate it.

[Q] Earpiece distortion

HI there guys.
Brand new to this forum.
I've searched for days and I'm unable to find a solution.
I'm experiencing a crackling or a distortion on phone calls at certain volumes. I noticed it with certain pitches in peoples voices it would cause a vibration in the ear speaker and some distortion in the sound. Kind of like the speaker is being over driven or has too much power going to it. It usually goes away if I turn the volume almost all the way down, but this is obviously not a practical option since I'm not always making phone calls in a dead silent room. The speaker phone works fine. This only happens when I'm using the earpiece. Is this normal? Is it related to the camera autofocus sensor rattle? Are the sound vibrations from a person's voice enough to set off the rattle? It's really annoying as I tend to make phone calls a lot and I don't like using speaker phone or a headset. Does anyone else have this problem?
From what I can tell, it happened and was normal in the S4. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2280930).
Please help. Im deciding if i need to return it.

It's too bad that you didn't describe it in more detail.. i.e. give us steps to replicate it. A recording of the distortion would have been helpful too. I haven't noticed what you describe but it sounds like the gain or auto gain is too high and your earpiece speaker is being overdriven.
There is a gain setting in the service mode menu but first you need to distinguish an app issue or possibly damaged speaker before messing around in the hidden settings. See if you can find an audio app that will give you a wider adjustment range for your system volume and gain.,

Thank you for the reply.
If you go into the service menu, the go into the low frequency test. At 100hz and 200 hz there is a little bit of buzz in the headset reciever unless you really push it against your face (which i assume kind of tightens the spaces in the plastic and prevents whatever vibration in the speaker is occuring).
Hmm.. the vibration is akin to as if you were speaking into some cellophane wrap; like some film (maybe for waterproofing) is covering the speaker.
Oh. It's also worth noting that I cannot replicate the issue on Skype or Viber. Those sound crystal clear.
Bump. Anyone?
