Volume is super low? - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

sorry if this has been asked, i really couldnt find an answer to this, but im using darkstone froyo 2.2 and it works with no problems but the volume is extremely low!! is there a remedy to this? maybe the radio?

Did you run the CLRAD before booting up Android??
I have no problems with volume.. try my radio.. (See Signature)

no, i have sound, just low volume. if im on the phone i can only hear someone if im in a room with no one around. driving in the car, forget it, cant hear anything.

I was just about to ask this. I have darkstone froyo running energy rom diniks glass. Me and three coworkers are having the same issue: audio is extremely low ear piece and speaker, on the other end the person can hear extra loud like the mic is super sensitive. Using recommended radio, 2.10....56 I think it is,still using the 7/23 zimage because it is the only one that does not. go into the sod.
Any help out suggestions? Thanks in advance.

^ im having the EXACT same problem, except im not running a rom. but yeah, other person can hear me super load but i can barely hear them, and speaker phone sucks!!

The devs are working on that. Sit tight.

^ thank you =)

just a shot
I had the volume muted in windows and when i loaded android it wouldnt play from the ext speaker. I turned it up in windows and the problem is better. Since I have a stock TMOUS non HSPL ROM I do not know if it will make any difference for you though. My only problem is that I always have to answer my phone "DOMO ARIGATO" because it's Mr. ROBOTO!

i am not using an HSPL hd2. thats my other predicament though, i cannot get it to HSPL.
my phone is a 1024 US Tmo hd2 with no HSPL. it has a stock rom as well.

Here is a fix .. Q-Tip Brand cotton swab,that'll fix it

no need to be a jerk....

The volume is definitely an issue. There's no way to boost it?
Also the volume control doesn't work when in-call with earphones.

I have the same issue , very diffculit to hear

Why cant you use HSPL? HSPL3 works great on the T-Mobile branded Leo.
Doesnt solve any issues with the volume, but the ability to flash other roms is nice to have especially when it comes to that robot voice issue.

Donate to the devs they work faster when they have beer
sent from my hd2 , thanks dcordes, cotulla and darkstone

try ChuckyDroidROM with darkstone's HD2Froyo v1 and radio 2.12.50.02_2
everything just work flawlessly including the calling volume , which is the loudest i've tried among all the builds.
no robotic voice , just a little echo sound for the listener's side, which doesnt matter the voice is still loud and clear .

I'm using mattc Leo, which is based on darkstone, and it also have the low volume issue.
However, mattc Leo rom is the only rom that I know of can now use bluetooth headset. With that, the volume is very good and no problem during my calls.

Sound Disappears...
Tmob stock rom 2.13
Radio 2.10
HSPL3
Problem:
-Every time I boot Android, sound is there, but low. After about 15 seconds if I run an app or make a call. The sound just disappears. I searched for related topics, nothing came out to be related.

Does HSPL solve the "very loud speaker and crackling noise"?

Can anybody confirm that after HSPL the frustrating problem with very loud incall speaker and popping/crackling noise is gone?
thanks,
G
What ROM are you on? I've found this problem to be a 1.43 issue. Other ROMs seem to be set at a much more acceptable volume. The speaker still crackles a bit, but it's a vast improvement over the stock 1.43 sound quality.
the 1.61 rom and Radio, which i think is the most important thing reduced the crackling on calls. You can Hardspl up to that version.
HardSPL won't touch anything of these things.
The SPL is only a bootloader.
I've flashed custom roms even before HSPL was out but...
I was hopping that flashing with HSLP would help!

Flash the 1.61 radio using HSPL. Seems to have fixed the issue for me:

What Radio do you have on your phone? I dont have any crackling problems on loud speaker and I have 2.06.51.07. If you look at my flashing for noobs thread in the rom development section it tells you how to change radios using HardSPL. The Radio does handle the sound so maybe thats your answer.

Stupid question but have you tried turning your volume all the way down to minimum while on loudspeaker as you may have it turned up too loud causing problems.
When im on loudspeaker I only have it on the lowest setting shich is still very clear and loud enough with no crackle.
Just a suggestion..

It's not a stupid question, but trust me the volume it's all the way down at all times. It's not only on the "loud speaker mode" we have this problem but with the earpiece one too.
The only way to have a private and decent conversation when I place the call is to try to play with the volume before the other party pick up: when the call is in progress i turn the volume all the way up and then back all the way down fast. It's the only way that kindda works for me. Incoming calls... tough luck, let's hope the other party has their volume all the way down otherwise they come through extremely loud and the speaker pops.
I've flashed 3 radios since yesterday and it seems that 2.05.50.11 is the best for me so far. will confirm after more testing.
thanks for trying to help!

If you are having no luck at all I would contact wherever you got the phone from as it sounds like you have a faulty device. If you have tried different radios, different roms and different settings then it looks like its hardware based and not software/firmware.

I thought of doing that but it would be no use as some have already done that and the new unit they got had the same issue. It's not an isolated case as you have probably seen here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=588925&page=18

[Q] Everything works fine, except making calls.....

Hi all,
I just flashed my HD2 to android, all process goes smooth and let me thank you all for your contributions.
My HD2 seems working perfectly on everything except making calls and receiving calls, everytime when I make a call or receive a call, the sound I hear from the receiver was like someone speaking under the water, and the buttons on the screen also seemed not working properly. Also, the system said sometimes that the phone module is not working properly and ask me to shut it down......
The rom I am using is NexusHD2-Froyo V1.9a NAND
Hope you guys have clues on what is happening........
Wish you all happy flashing.
The sound problem in a call is I believe called "Robotic Voice", but of course, the description for it is different for everyone.
mskip said:
Robot Voice in a Call
Make a call, turn on the speaker, turn off the speaker and end the call. All should be fine after that (until you reboot that is)

what radio U have ?
The radio version I am using is 2.15.50.14
I'm using the same radio rom. Try the speaker phone trick above. If that doesn't work you may have to reflash the rom. Otherwise this build is awesome for me.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
go for some other nand android... suggest u mdj
The speaker option mentioned above will work.
Tested the same ROM as you have and fixed it with the speaker 'trick'
When I press speaker, the phone freezes and asks me to force close the phone process. So I cannot get out of robovoice mode.
I too have 2.15.50.14 radio version...

[Q] Mic volume too soft in Dorimanx ROMs

I googled and searched the forum, most saying the in-call volume is too loud and so forth.
But I am getting the other end, where the other side can't hear me much unless my lips are literally next to the microphone or shout it out loud.
Done many tests and confirmed that my previous TYTUNG ROM was better, but then it freezes my phone with incoming calls sometimes... I have had a few updates through Dorimanx and quite happy except this low mic volume issue.
Does anyone have a clue on this? I would like to seek for solutions better flashing out another ROM like crazy. Thanks!

Do you have speaker phone enabled ? if not , thats your problem . when using the earpiece for a call the microphone levels are set as if you are holding the device right up to your ear and the microphone is right next to your mouth . as a normal phone would work . try enabling speaker phone and see if that does anything .
If not you could try this http://code.google.com/p/custom-android-sciphone-n19/wiki/MicGain are phones (well mine at least) doesnt have this file but at the same time if you add this file and reboot it may use it . just be sure to backup everything using recovery backup . just in case .
You can use HD2 Mic Control on the Maket.
Or flash Tytung kernel

Suddenly very low in call volume on every Nand androids issue

Hi, guys
Have big issue with incall volume, on every nand androids which i flashed in last 2 day have almost non possibe to hear other person.
When putting call on speaker its normal volume and can here everything.
Problem started after few days while using miui hd android.
Searched this section of forum and didnt find any working solution.
Tried this:
Task29 provided by doloop
Reinstalling DFT_LEO_MAGLDR113_DAF
Reinstalling Cwm 3.x.x AND 5.0.2.7 Recovery
Tried different Flash.cfg partition size
Tried around 10 diffferent nand roms
But allways same results, very low incall sound, normall speaker sound.
Is this maybe hardware failure?
Doesn maybe changing to some Radio would fix issue even i use current radio till now without any issue for almost 2 years.
Radio rom which use is: Radio Leo 2.15.50.14
Any advice is wellcome, ty in advance.

I don't see what it can be other than hardware failure, but if you try Volume+ you can increase the volume of your mic/headset by a lot (although you will have to trade off some sound quality at the higher ranges). Is it just the in-call volume or the volume when playing music aloud as well? Might help deduce whether it's a hardware or software fault. My dad's old iPhone 2G (I've been pestering him to get an upgrade for ages) has an issue where it detects something plugged into the headphone jack even when it's not there. Maybe your phone is doing a similar thing?
Shortly:
Calls which are on speakerphone works and its clear and loud
Notification, ringtones working clear and loud
Music is playing and sound loud and normal.
Calls on headset sound loud and normal
In call volume is very low(when call isnt putted on speakerphone), hard to hear person even when volume is up fully.

Well in that case it isn't hardware failure and I honestly don't know why it would happen so randomly. Try messing with the call settings in the settings menu and see what you can change that might solve your issue. For example, try turning off the dial tones (or whatever they're called) and haptic feedback etc., it's helped others in the past judging by what I could find.
fix permissions in cwm should work. u can find it under advanced
i dont think its hardware related from what you say.maybe you are unlucky and have problems with the specific rom.
if you cant adjust it from the settings on the phone, there are some apps on the market that let you adjust all the sound related features (volume control+,audio manager and many more).
then you can try reflashing your rom (clean install preferred after you do a backup)
if that fails maybe theres dust or garbage in the cracks and you should try cleaning your phone from the inside(but thats VERY risky if you dont know how to open the phone properly..)
and if everything fails then try a new rom maybe?????
Ty guys for helps and advice .Seems after a while that found source of issues, was related to Ext partition in combination with androids which use them. My card works suspicious, ill need to buy new one, this time ill stick with Sandisk type, current is Toshiba's card micro hc version which from start didn't gave me some good reliability on hd2.

HTC HD2 weird speaker issue

I have a T-mobile HD2.
HSPL 2.08
Radio: 2.15.50.14
MAGLDR 1.13
EXT4 recovery
Its just few months old and i'm experiencing this weird bug..
Everytime i install a new rom be it android windows or even the stock 6.5....i'm able to hear the caller for first few calls and then i cannot get any sound from phone..but when i put my phone in SPEAKER mode its normal ..i can hear everything.
If i plug headset..i get normal sound.
But the phone inbuilt speaker doesn't function after a few calls on any rom!
There has been no physical damage to the phone...
Please Help me ..if anyone knows the possible problem
Try replacing the earpiece.. it might help.. its cheap !
Thanks for your reply ...but the thing is when I first install any ROM everything works properly (microphone, inbuilt earpiece) ..after some time both stop working the caller on other side cannot hear me and even my voice is not audible to him that means both my microphone and inbuilt earpiece don't work!..I guess replacing will not help because everything works fine in the beginning!.
Any other possibilities?!
I'm clueless
