Hi
I flashed my G1 with the lucidREM Mod of JFv1.5 and since then calls are unbelievable loud. The volume is as low as it can be for calls and I have to hold it about 2cm away from the ear, as the speaker is still so loud anyone in the room can hear what the person is telling me on the phone.
Is there a way to lower the volume besides the + - buttons?
Thanks in advance

Sounds like it may be in speakerphone mode. Start a call, open the menu, and switch it back to normal.
No, the speaker on the back is off. The small one you hold onto your ear is that loud!
I've recently updated to JFv1.5 as well and I'm not having any issues with volume. Admittedly the sound volume is louder for voice and media but when the volume is set to it's lowest levels it's a normal volume for phone calls; definitely not ear-splitting or anything.
Maybe you're hearing has improved dramatically overnight; been bit by a genetically-modified spider lately?
Hmmm... spiderbite, that would explain this huge red and hurting bitewound... i don't know. Unless I find this spider I would say it's the phone, not my ear
I'm running JF 1.5 ADP and in-call volume does not actually adjust here either - even though it shows it adjusting on the screen, the actual volume remains the same.
THAT sounds more like an explanation. Any solution?

I'd like to know myself. A friend with JFv1.5 says his in-call volume control is functioning properly. So what did we do wrong?
I am also experiencing the same problems.
Updated the radio, updated to JF's1.5, had to do an erase and all seems fine, just having this problem of volume in-call.
I can confirm its not in speaker mode and volume doesn't seem to change at all.
Help!
Hey all,
I swear when I first rooted and installed JF1.5 I had followed the directions and completed the step to update my radio to 2.22.19.29I - but I just double checked my baseband and it wasn't right - I reinstalled the radio update from http://android-roms.googlecode.com/files/ota-radio-2_22_19_26I.zip - and now the volume works.
Go to Settings > About Phone > Baseband
Make sure it says 2.22.19.26I
If it doesn't, update your radio again.
Make sure it says 2.22.19.29I
I think you mean 2.22.19.26I
I'm also having this problem on the dude's cupcake - really just in general over all phone firmwares, stock and modded. The call volume is on the loud side - but tolderable - on the lowest setting but UNBELIEVABLY LOUD in headphones on the same setting. My god, my friend said "Hey!" and i instinctually ripped off the headphones and threw them on the floor because of the volume. It really p*ssed me off. This is a phone for f*ck's sake. This is it's primary function. Get it right.
also, the media volume is not loud enough on it's loudest setting.
EDIT: I forgot to mention, the volume rocker worked just fine. I my options ranged from unbelievably loud all the way up to "hear it in the next room" loud.
Did you folks who have loud volume wipe (alt+w in recovery) when installing JFv1.5? What applications did you install? What other hacks (a2sd, htc components) have you installed?

Have you tried wiping and installing a completely bone stock JFv1.5 (no a2sd or anything else) and then checking call volume?
Flashed the radio update, since it wasn't on the phone.
Still doesn't work.
PS: Using the lucid modded version. But even with everything on the phone it wont change the call volume.
Have you tried re-flashing the ROM?? .. I had an issue before and just re-flashed the ROM and worked great!

installed jf 1.5
very loud, even if volume control shows minimum.

Has anyone else noticed an extremely reduced amount of sound from the speaker phone during calls?
Wow i thought that this was just my phone playing up, but yes I have noticed it's dramatically reduced.
I've got the same exact problem....The question is, is this jf1.5 specific? or do ppl running haykuro & other builds of cupcake have the same problem?
Thats what im wondering too. I loved the speaker volume before, as i am in CA, with the whole blue tooth stuff. I didnt have to get one, i could hear everyone with the phone in my lap...
Now...It's like just talking on the phone normal...
Looks like we're all in the same boat. Speaker volume sucks now.

Works fine for me. Just as loud as it was with RC33 if not louder, I usually have to turn it down a lot.
Working fine here too. I'm using JF's 1.5, and I did the usual wipe before and after upgrading.
There is an obvious change in volume. I used to listen to music on my phone while taking a shower but now I can barely hear the music from my phone over the sound of the water.
Is there a fix or hack for this??
maybe its something with the radio? Idunno. This is funny b/c I couldn't turn my speaker phone down enough last night while using it. It was almost too loud.
How many of you did complete Clean wipes before install?
I installed Via JfMod Updater App...Maybe it was something to do with this? And i haven't installed the radio...
it seems louder than b4. I did a complete wipe and my phone has never run better.
Hi guys,
I just wondered if anyone elses volume for the radio was pretty rubbish? I got the phone a couple of weeks ago and I am dissapointed with the volume of the radio. I have downloaded and used HD Tweak to disable the 100DB limit, but i find it is still low. I dont like really loud music, but so you get the idea of what I mean by its low, if im on the bus with it on....full volume, i cannot hear it properly.
Hope someone can help,
Thanks!
Chris
I have the same problem
I noticed it this morning on the train, I have the official radio and XFM radio. Both were hopeless. couldnt hear very much at all as the volume is too low. when I switched to the music player - too loud. So it must be the radio - any ideas?

Yeah mate, doesn't make much of a difference.
Regards,

I too second/confirm this issue.
But what can be done? Audio booster doesn't help. If you install the SRS sound enhancement cab then volume increases but not worth because a lot of incompatibilities with volume adjustments and so forth especially in TF3D and WM player.
I have the same problem on my HD / Blackstone
It seems that the radio signal is very weak (see the 2 signal "LED" chart on each side od the frequency, on the orignal application)
they don't go any further than 3 dots out of 8
Try switching off your UMTS (or data connection) on my side, it is a bit better, but nothing fantastic
I know at first many complained of speaker volume being too low. So developers did something. What exactly was done?
I have noticed 3 things with all builds I have tried:
1. When making/recieving calls the initial volume is random, either too soft or too loud. The volume indicator (one that comes up when volume buttons are pushed) never seem to relate to the actual volume level. Often the volume indicator is all the way down while the volume is all the way up. And in order to turn it down I have to adjust the volume indicator all the way up and then move it back down which works. Weird.
2. In-call audio sounds bad compared to WinMo. It sounds harsh, like its very slightly distorted. Its as if there are audio/eq settings in Android that don't match the hardware.
3. Finally, why this is my biggest concern, I blew out my outside speaker when on speaker phone in Android (there was a little pop sound in the middle of a call, I could not hear rings or anything after that, in WinMo as well). I am starting to see others report this. Luckily I got it replaced. But I am now scared to do speaker phone in Android. I have used speaker phone with WinMo plenty with no issues.
I used to have inconsistent sound issues in some builds, I used Louder Volume Hack from the market to modify the volume for headset, bluetooth and in call boost (Range) and it works pretty fine. As for the external speaker, I can't really say... I haven'T noticed.
I have this problem too! My speaker phone blew up while I was using Mdeejay eVo Sense v. 2.3 rEVOlution. I'm pretty sad because I can't even get notifications anymore or rings. I have to leave my phone on vibrate. Speaker doesn't even work on winmo either. I tried task 29, new winmo rom, new android rom and tried to factory reset and nothing work. I'm pretty sure my speaker is done.
Froystone 2.3 on 7.6 the sound volume was great. No problems however going to evolution 2.3 I notice I struggle to hear on some calls.
i get great sound in skinnyevo by phireMOD. havent tried speakerphone though, doubt ever will after reading this thread.
I haven't had any issues with my speaker.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
My number 1 concern too.
I use the HD2 for navigation and playing around. I have a e71 for phonecalls.
The speakervolume with the latest kernels is an absolute dissaster for me.
I don't see any developers reacting on this issue reported by several people which frightens me a bit.
I dont mean to curb people from using their speaker phone. I am just one experience. But I wanted to see if anyone else had the the same problem. Particularly the not-so-great sounds issue in general.
What build was running when You had speaker failure ?
Try the [UPD][BUILD][01.11.10]|<<Mdeejay FroYo Sense Series>>|2.29.405.2\
Next Sense 2.7
Very loud. I had the same problem but this one is 1/2 volume just to be tolerable.

Ok, not one I tried but I hope this turns out to be bad luck and not a general problem !
You say others have had a similar problem ?
from a electronics point of view an impedance miss match speaker/amp would generally damage the amp before the speaker, speakers normally let You know if You are "over driving" them a good while before they burn out
I highly doubt the speaker loss is a general problem. But the less-than-stellar sound seems to be a general problem, and I am wondering if they could be related.
If I had the time I would dig into the builds myself to see how the sound settings are handled n such.
I just put XAndroid 2.2 (Froyo) on my Tilt2 and got it working - I always use the speaker phone when making calls... was very exited to see that it works - until I realized that when the speaker is on in a call - I can hear them - but they cannot hear me. If I turn off the speaker - we can talk again - but for some reason - speaker for me is mute for them... not sure where to post this as a possible bug.
I used this package: XDANDROID.2.2.1.AOSP.FRX03.21.11.10.FULL_PACKAGE
on an AT&T Tilt2 (Rhodium) running Windows mobile, I believe 6.5.
thanks for your patience - this is a big place - and it hard to find my way around.
updated my zimage and the speaker now works
thank you to everyone!
I dont know what I am doing wrong but I find the sound level extremely poor for calls
I tried with a bluetooth headset, the outside speaker and the jack with my mp3 headset
it's pretty weird since when I play videos or music I am impressed by how loud I can push the Tab...
I am on AT&T with JMC (but was the same on JM6). And I set the sound at max
anybody has the same issue? Am I doing something wrong? Or is there any sound booster app for calls? (and is it necessary?)
Thanks for your help
My Tab isn't phone-enabled, but since you're new to Android, I thought I should point out that there are multiple volume settings, and in-call volume is one of them. Menu Key -> Settings -> Sound Settings -> Volume should give you all the sliders (Ringtone, Media, Alarm, System, Notification...). There are apps/widgets too that let you get to/change these settings without having to go into the settings menu every time (audio manager has been a decent widget for me). Until you're actually in the call the hardware rocker is usually doing the ringtone or media volume.
When I use mine with Skype 60% is usually blaringly loud for me, and I don't even have the system or media volume maxed out.
Sorry if it's something you know you've done, but thought it might help. If not, maybe someone else has had the same issue and solved it.

yes this I had figured out and set at the maximum
Everything non call related is really strong... It's conversation from normal calls that is ridiculously low
Am I the only one ?? What's wrong with my tab ?
Anyone with an opinion about this ?
Voice-enabled on AT&T with JM6. Have good results with the built-in speakers and cheap Nokia BH-214 stereo Bluetooth earbuds. I ordered the OEM earbuds, but I do understand that the 3.5mm jack port in finicky. Is your Bluetooth 2.1 or newer? Do you have many open applications when trying to place or receive calls? I've notice the sound stutter a bit on the speakers when I've got several apps open.
Here's something I noticed, when in call using my BT Headset, the volume slider sometimes says its on max but the output isnt. Try to lower or increase your volume. Once you hear the max level beep, it gets louder.
Im on a SingTel Tab by the way.

Edit: yeah I can definitely reduce the volume but my max was my actual max. As anybody tried to compare the volume on the speaker when playing music whith the volume on the speaker when on a call... It's like 5 to 10 times higher volume on a call !! And then same issue on a headset

As mentioned I tried it with everything I could... The default external speaker, a simple stereo headset (Not bluetooth), a bluetooth headset. They all give the same. Low volume
If you don't like volume in speaker, headset, bluetooth....You can change settings in "hidden" Audio menu. There you can change volume of individual ouput, but be careful!!!!!
Before change anything, make sure you can put it back the same number if you are not satisfied or have problem ..so wright it somewhere anything you wish to change.
Good Luck with experiment. If I remember correctly(from my old Samsung i780-Windows phone) "TX" settings is for output and "RX" for imput, but I can be wrong, so be careful.

what I do is, when in a call, I lower the volume by about 2, then increase it until i hear the max volume beep. The moment i hear it, the volume on my headset usually jumps up.
I have the same problem with the speaker volume. At maximum you cannot hear it. The bluetooth seems to work OK. IIRC JK5 software seemed to work correctly.

So I guess for you too, music or movies play with a high volume on the speakers whereas for calls it's rather low volume ?
Yes bluetooth or headset I can hear but still quite low volume compared with music...

My problem is specifically for calls. Anything else is fine and working well. That's the weird issue... I dont want to boost the volume for anything else!
That's pretty weird... I have been playing with the tab and I found out that for calls, the highest level I can have (by hear) is two notches below the highest. That's by far the loudest I get (If I push higher the sound decreases)
Am I the only one ? It really pisses me off.... I don't know how it can be like that (I am on JMC ROM after flashing a JM6 ROM over the JK5 from Russia (I am on an AT&T Tab flashed to get phone working)
Someone else get the same experience ?
I can confirm that the max 'in call' volume is two notch below the max !!! And I have the same tab/setting of the OP.
Aren't there some codes you can enter to adjust the volume level on calls and music, etc.?? like the Galaxy S?

I'm running HD2O's new NODO rom.
Still havent been able to find a fix for the low volume out of the headphones listening to music, and very low volume for speakerphone. The camera also doesnt autofocus. Any 1 figure out a way to fix this yet? The last rom i was using before nodo, speaker volume was crazy loud. I would rather it be loud than very quiet. Also with WPbench, it shows that it's using 16 bit color instead of 32. Theres banding in the color transitions. Any fix for this, or is the HD2 screen just not up to par?

Im going to see how ppcboy's rom is. his last one was awsome. nothing bad at all to sday about his previous build. Please let me know what you think of yuki's new rom. I dont have my usb cord to flash it tonight anyway.
You can possibly fix the volume by changing the general volume attenuation in HKCU\ControlPanel\Volume\MaxdBAtten. Default (original DFT) value for this key is 45, it's often set higher in custom roms to reduce the volume. Setting it again to a lower value will make the device (headphones + speaker) louder. I wouldn't go below 45 though, thats already pretty deafening
There is no fix for the camera other than installing a different camera software alltogether, AKAIK
BTW, both topics are pretty extensively discussed on the forum already
Ive tryed the maxbatt edit. Doesnt have any effect, except for adding more bars to volume, for a more acute volume adjustment. Doesnt actually make it louder or softer. Ive been looking in the other forums for answers for a few weeks now, and no 1 has come up with a legit answer, except reflash another rom. Ill have to look into another camera software for WP7, and the color banding issue is still no fix in site?
Ok. So I tryed out Yuki's newest rom. It's pretty dope. The camera is nice, but volume still seems low on speakerphone/external speaker. Ring volume is plenty loud though. Awsome original WP7 boot screen, and what not. Didn't really care for the green button coded to blutooth/media player. Right now I'm running elMInStER blackSideSeven ROM. Love everything about it except for the no camera fix. If this rom had yuki's camera he has in his, it would have been perfect. The green hardware button is hard coded as the green phone button, and doubles as the camera after you open it. Volume seems a bit louder on that rom also.
Hey can you tell me how much the battery drain is on the blackSideSeven ROM?
So far, it's been decent. Had the phone on since 7AM unplugged, havent used it much, but im still @ around 80% @ 2PM
