I'm sure I'm not the only frustrated with the uunusually low maximum call volume for the g2 which makes conversations in crowded places pretty difficult. I just wanted to know if this is something that can be fixed with an ota update or root, or are we stuck with this limitation? Thanks in advance

This is something I would like to know as well. I think that's the only thing bothering me about this phone now that Paul Obrian's awesome VISONary app is installed. The speaker is pretty low too.

I agree as well. The in-call voice volume is pretty low, and makes it pretty hard hear what the person on the other end is saying.
I know with the vibrant that there was a code you could dial, and it would take you to some more phone options. We did this to try to fix the GPS in its early stages.
Hoooolllly cr*p. The volume in the X10 is totally unacceptable! I had an appointment today I was waiting for a very long time and I set up 3 reminders/alarms. They went off. but I heard not a single one! Appointment missed, pushed back another month.
What is the point of an alarm function that you can't even hear!
All my volumes are set to max. I can't hear text messages going thru, I can't hear notifications going thru. My ears are fine, the phone whispers. God it's driving me nuts.
I've never had this problem with any other phone, could hear those things a mile away. Am rrreally starting to lose faith in something I can't rely on.

The x10 is a complete failure.
Bad GSM radio.
Bad audio.
Lack of hardware features.
Great cpu, camera and sexy screen let down by everything else.

I second this. Sexy shell, but lousy internals.
Dunno what to say.
Mine is set to below halfway and it wakes me up just fine. Sure it's not the loudest phone I've ever had but it's more than acceptable (even without xLoud for most things).
BTW, did the snooze function work? I mean, if 3 alarms were set and if they kept on going, then they keep on coming back on every 10 minutes (default unless changed).
Maybe your loudspeaker is busted? Did you ever try any of the roms with xLoud?
Have mine set up with xloud and latest dsp manager app, combined, my phone now has the same volume as my friends galaxy s2, just about. However the speakers will die soon at that rate I expect. But my contract is up in 4 months so I dont care if I kill it!

You must either be a heavy sleeper, you're going deaf, or you have a defective phone.
I have my alarm go off on workdays at a bit over half volume and I can hear it no problem.
Seriously, all this X10 bashing is incredibly old.
Another question.
Was it an alarm or a calendar reminder that you were using? The reminder function for the calendar just uses the SMS tone.
xLoud is your friend. Huge difference with it opposed to without, just use some common sense though.

"bad gsm radio" !!!!!!!!!!!! You must be crazy.....SE has the best gsm radio in the these companies....or did you forgot that whos making the gsm radio and antenna is Ericsson itself....btw...ericsson is the best in the bisness.....plus did you forget that the x10 is a 2009 phone....its old...dont compare it to today's phones.....also the sound is just fine...i hear my phone ringing from miles away.........god damn.

with all due respect, I still don't get why people **** so much about the speakers.
Maybe I've been lucky, I don't know, but I don't have any issue with the sound.
Granted, you need to put an appropriate ringtone... you won't here anything if you put a ringtone of rainfall
That said, If I had to complain of a similar functionality on the X10, it would be the phone's vibration, which I feel is very week compared to my old SE W810i.
I'v gone over three X10i (hugh...thank god for Orange France's insurance) and all have been exactly the same for me. No sound issue, but ****ty vibration compared to my old phone.
Just a thought guys and gals but it also depends on your ring tone. IMHO i find most of the standard ones a bit dull, but i found somefree mp3's and midi's online and the other morning when my alarm went off i nearly hit the ceiling! even woke up the girl
Pvy.
Here is my alarm tone. give it a go see if it helps

Personally phone speaker volume, vibration, hardware...I find spectacular. Phone speaker is exceptionally loud without dsp manager or xloud or any other programs. Vibration intensity seems to be fine for me. Hardware...I don't understand what is wrong with it...perfectly good to me...and GSM and WIFI work perfectly...always have H signal RARELY I have to use 3G I mean RARELY...maybe like for 2 minutes in a month. Always have phone signal...btw I have ATT. ONLY issue for me is SONY not providing proper phone SOFTWARE. GB update was a tad disappointing from their kernel, 16 mil, fps uncap, and everything else... was not a well done job.
OK...the IN-CALL VOLUME is something that bothers me; the only hardware related gripe. It is extremely quiet...barely can hear person on other side...when in average loud environment. BUT I suspect that with DSP Manager installed the IN-CALL VOLUME could be louder.
I am using "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" for ringtone/alarm.
I am using "Altair" for notification.
Your phone might have an issue. OR you...haha; deep sleeper.
Anyone know what the best option is, dsp manager or xloud?
The main thing I need is call volume clarity. I tried some versions of DSPManager.apk but they didn't seem to make a difference... Tips?

Aaah, the w810... probably my most favorite phone that i've owned. That phone had one hell of a speaker for its size.
I don't mind the vibration of the X10i. Yeah, it's a tiny-little-bit weak but it's good (really good IMHO) and really comes down to preference. I like how varied the vibration can be (mild, medium, high). I came from an N85 and that had only 1 setting: seizure. That thing would vibrate like nuts at anything. On a scale of 1-10, it was at '11' all the time. LOL
I find the speakers to be satisfyingly loud enough with xLoud. I use the Beep-Beep-Beep sound for alarm. never fails to wake me up.
Vibrations on large phones like this are hard as it's absorbed by the phone's weight itself but i find it rather pleasant to have than annoyingly skidding over the table.

I am running both, but if you just want one take the dsp, gives you an equalizer to adjust for clarity of sound. Yesterday someone posted a brilliant version of dsp in wolfs 2.3.3 thread. The apk is in a rar file so just use root explorer to install it
The sound is noticeably improved

Turn on 3G in a location with low signal and charge it, now browse online and watch the battery heat.
Don't cheat by putting the phone in LN2 first. try it in a nice 27*C summer ambient heat.
And tell me it's awesome. you can cook food on it. and the battery goes dead in 1 hour from there on, you can cook some meat by then and make some coffee on it.
Then once the power circuits have completely nuked you can use it as a paper weight.
people using xloud should be careful.....
mark my word, people are going to start blowing their speakers. You can hear it cracking/getting damaged.
Well, I just missed yet another important call because I could not hear my call waiting tone/beep. It is so low that it's almost inaudible. Does anyone else have this issue at all? Any fix for the volume/pitch?
Edit: Running CM10.1 Nightlies

Do you have another device to compare it to? My Nexus 4s ringtone is more than loud enough, I can hear it in another room through a wall when it's charging

lmao nice reading
OP, what ROM are you using? I'm not sure about the stock ROM but with CM10.1, you can set it to vibrate on call waiting. Beyond that, I don't know if there'd be an easy way to bump the call waiting tone..
I know that there is a mod to make the speaker louder for the Nexus 4, but idk how good that is for the speaker. I also have the bumper, which lifts the speaker off whatever it's on so it isn't muffled. Maybe make a video OP?

dude reread.
Ziddey, yeah, I saw that, but I just don't know why the actual volume is so low...running CM10.1 Nightlies (first post updated).
The call waiting was so annoying I disabled it, usually I can just ignore it but not on the N4.
Running CM RC1
How was it annoying?
I thought it was just me, I cannot hear the call waiting tone usually either. It is not related to the media volume, is it?
Do you modify your /system/media folder? That's the only thing I could think of being the issue.

Usually I can ignore it and just talk through it, with the n4 it was loud enough that it interrupted the call.
I'm with the OP. I'm running Carbon 1.7 and I don't think I've ever heard the call waiting tone. I miss calls all the time because of this. If any one can shed a light on this it would be great.
So I switched from Sprint to Verizon on Friday and I picked up the LG G2 after having decided on the HTC One. I'm loving the phone but the volume is really low, I can't hear the ringer half the time and I almost never hear my text message notifications. I've rooted and done the volume mod, but that really hasn't helped. I also installed an app from the market called the LG G2 Volume, but that only works for the headphones. When I had my GS3 I was able to flash an update that increased the speaker volume by 25, 50, 75, or 100%, but I've not seen anything like that for the G2. I really like this phone, but I work in a place that I have to be able to hear my phone, and I'm on call 8-10 nights a month, and have to be able to hear the phone ringing. Does anyone have any solutions?
Bump. No one has had an issue with the low volume?

Don't know if this is supposed to be happening but anytime I play an audio file such as a ringtone or alarm or what have you, the sounds start off really quiet and then boost to their full volume after a second. Is there a setting I overlooked or is this by design? Anyone else seeing this?
Sent from my XT1575
Settings, sound, increasing ring tone option? Not sure if that's it or not.
I have caught this also where it starts off quite and then all of a sudden gets really loud but don't think it is every time.

Does it happen every time or on random? Some phones have in the settings->audio->fade in option.
Maybe its somewhere deeper in sound options?
Or esle, it could be some kind of software bug, hopefully not.
Hmm, it seems to happen more when I make it make a sound, like messing with the ringtone setting or volume control. Hit the volume rocker once and it's a barely audible beep even though it's almost all the way up. Hit it again and it blasts at full volume lol
Reboot doesn't do away with it

Yeah I've had this. Also the tone for notifications can be cut off short also. It's nothing major. I'm sure the next update will fix it.

Sent from my XT1575
Nobody mention that in the review, thats odd. We really need some quality in depth reviews.
Doesnt sound good (no pun intended).
I think it is some sort of speaker protection. I was playing music at call it 30% (it faded in). Then, as I cranked up the volume, it seemed to level off meaning 80%-100% sounded almost identical. Maybe an auto leveler/compressor to protect the twin speakers?
Complete speculation, your thoughts?
If you look at moto's official specs, they list something like "stereo speakers with smartboost". This tells me they have some sort of "feature" that dynamically controls speaker volume also.
