any solution for low call volume issue?

heard the call volume is quite low compared to other phones.
i am mostly in noisy environment ...so it mite be a problem for me
any app to boost volume?

well i gotta admit.. the volume for this phone suckz! dont get me wrong.. the phone itself i love! headphone wise its pretty decent though!
I think at the moment we are stuck with it! im sure ive seen a volume booster about but we have to wait till the x10 is rooted!
Not sure if maybe a minor update from sony themselves can make a difference?

Low Volume Solution
I had the same issue.
i just palay a high pitch sound in my phone and all seems to work perfect.
ear peace volume increase a lot .
you can try

the notification sounds are weak as well. it's so low and i can't even hear it. i was at a friend's gathering - home party. had like 10 emails waiting for me and i didn't even hear it. had the phone in my front breast pocket as well!

i've got the same issues the sound in the headphones is lame compared to the nexus one or the magic for example.

Call volume is a real issue. I would encourage everyone to contact SE about it. If enough people complain they can boost the volume in a firmwire update.

Mod edit: not (yet) t&a related, moved to general

yes sony should incresase the in call volume it is very low if you are in traffic it becomes very hard to hear what other person is saying, sony plz solve this problem because X10 is first a phone then they should think about multimedia etc.

Problems with Aria ringtone volume

I am considering buying the HTC Aria (I can get it for free) but have read on several Android forums about the problems with the Aria's lack of ringtone volume. Has anyone here suffered from this or is this just a few upset customers. Also if you've had this problem were you able to fix it if so how? Did rooting the phone help at all? Thanks for the help.

Um...depends on what you mean by ringtone volume. Everytime I have my volume all the way up it rings and I can hear it. I've never had an issue where I had my volume up and it sounded like it was at anything less than full...hope that answers your question

I've had low volume problems when using songs for Ringtones. Used MP3 Gain pc software to increase the volume of the file. Search for "MP3 Gain" on the internet

MY ringtone is way way too loud. thats not an issue for me.
There are however volume problems with speaker phone or even the regular phone depending on your locations noise level.

Same here,I usually turn on the speaker and. Hold the phone close to my ear so I can hear people.there is a louder volume hack,I just haven't been able to test it.

Not ringing through speaker while headphones are connected?

I encountered a problem: When the head phones are connected and I get called, the ringtone is played only in the headphones. This an annoying problem, because I got used to my old phone ringing via the headphones and the speaker at the same time.
Has anybody else encountered this problem? Is there any fix?
Oh, and please don`t give any "advices" like "unplug the headphones while you`re not using them" because it`s silly to plug/unplug your headphones every time you take your earbuds out of your ears (maybe i`m not even listening to music, but I want to talk using the hands free device).

"It's not a bug, its a feature!" ;-)
But to be seriously, that's the way it's meant to be.

Well, mine doesn't have this problem and both the earphones and speaker sound the ringtone.. are you using the original HTC earphones that came with your phone?

Interesting, the problem appears even when I use the HTC headphones, not only my other headphones.
Maybe i`ll try a hard reset next weekend.

I say good, handsfree private calling should be through headphones or carkit ala nokia operation.

After turning off and back on again, it seems that the problem has disappeared.
I don`t know why, but it works as intended now.
Thanks for the help, guys!

Earpiece Volume R800x

Anyone else having issues with the earpiece volume being really low? I used to have an HTC Eris and that was loud and could hear anyone even with the phone sitting next to me on high but this phone i have to push the phone basically into my ear to hear some people.
I was wondering if there is any program that will work with an unrooted Xperia (since I have the R800x) ... I have tried countless things on the market but none of it helps.
Stereo speakers on the side of the phone are loud as hell, it is just the earpiece.

The earphones are pretty ****. When I switch it to my senheissers it seems to be fine.

I am still having this issue.. the phones earpeice speaker is like 25% the volume of the speaker phone speakers. in a silent room I have trouble hearing people. I have no other option but use a blue tooth headset which ends up being 50% louder then the speaker phone speakers.
Anyone found a way to boost the headset speaker yet?

Low headset volume

Hi, i am using wildfire with cm7 installed on it. I have a little problem- headset volume is really low. Yes, i have tried to push volume up, and it is on maximum. Tried different headset- same. Phone speaker is really loud. I can`t say when this happened because i got my headset only on this week(borrowed to sister).
I am looking for solution, can anyone help?

check the media volume in settings. else buy a good in ear like sony mdr ex85. or try equalizer app, volume+ app etc. mine is so loud. i use sonys in ear.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App

Checked every volume levels which i can found. If it helps to now how quiet it is, if i level volume down to about level 5, it is almost unhearable.
One more question. Coud it be hardware problem? I don`t know, if phone is using the same amplifier circuit to headphones and phone speaker.
Thanks.

I had the same problem a couple of months ago, so I bought Volume Boost. You can try it for free first, and there are a few other software options I haven't tried. Volume Boost works OK for me.
Go to Android Market (sorry, I can't give you the direct link here, since it's not allowed).

Thanks, it makes it a bit louder(i can listen to it now) but still silent.

dude you have done something wrong. also i think that earphone and speakers do not share same hardware.

So thats hardware problem? If so, probably new phone will be cheaper.
