I have bought an Xperia X10 about a month and a half from now, since day one(even with low in-call volume) i noticed little distortion. It was Build number 014 i guess.
When i updated my phone to R2BA026 the in-call volume increased so do the distortion. Distortion only exist when call volume is set to maximum( pretty noticeable ) and when i decease it one level distortion kinda disappear.
I'm wondering if anybody got the same problem or it's just my device? (so i can go and replace it at SE support center)
Sorry for my bad English.
I would say return it to where you bought it or SE service centre. Mine is fine even on full volume.
Good luck.
Just making sure, do you have the latest update? 026
you know they give in-call volume slight pump in this update
my call volume is still very low after the update R2BA026. I HATE SONY
Ive had 3 what do it.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
im running fw 26 and the sound sounds pretty clean, and no low in call volume for me

After flashing 026 version for about ten times, I have noticed that every time the in call volume has been different. Since last time I did it, I have been stucked with the lowest volume ever so there is something different even in flashing the same firmware over.
I hope the 2.1 will eventually fix this issue/

guys ive seen som eposts about problems with volume but i cant find a solution for my problem
when in a call i cant adjust the volume???????
when i push up or down the volume screen appears and it moves up and down but it doesnt actually decrease or increase the volume??? any ideas please?
ive tried the system tab and also the ring tab
its really loud and quite annoying
Do you have S2U2 installed? Encountered a similar problem with this S/W installed....had to remove it unfortunately, after using it on several previous devices.....
hmm no i dont have s2u2 installed, il have to see if i installed something that caused this
anyone?????????
got the same pronblem... not sure since when. I have installed s2u2, but set it like recommended by other users who definitely CAN control the in-call-volume... got no idea... looks like a hard-reset may be necessaray... but I just don't want ang got no time... ****...
regards jan
I CAN control the volume, but it doesn't go to zero. I mean the minimum value is still high.
earpiece volume too low
i thought i'd post this here: i have found the earpiece volume during a call to be rather too low, even though i set the volume to the highest level. other aspects of the sound function seem to work nicely, loud speaker and headphones are pretty loud, but the earpiece is too damn low. any thoughts..
any idea if HD tweak can increase the earpiece volume
i found that option 3.3 acoustic setting when set to maximal increased my earpiece volume dramatically during calls. and that option 3.4 increase sound increases the ringer volume. can anyone confirm
i just got my HTC HD...my happiness knew no bounds...
but when i made calls...the world fell on me ...the ear piece volume is too low compared to other mobiles; its hardly hearable
i might be missing something...plz help me as soon as possible

could it be the simple issue that, by default, HD changes the ring volume and not the speaker volume when you press volume rocker?
you can check this and if this is your problem, do a search through the forum and you will find the registry tweak, or the volume cab to change this.
good luck!
Hi folks,
found another possible reason (but unfortunaly no solution yet) for in-call volume control not working... as this thread mainly focuses on s2u2, i've opened a new one here
regards jan
Hello,
I'm running a X10i since 2 days. I must say that I'm quite happy with it but I have difficulties with the sound of the ear speaker : as the volume is quite low, I have to increase the volume and when I increase the volume higher than 3/4 to full I hear a lot of cracking and popping.
Do you have the same problem ?
BR
On my phone to sound is quite good. I have to volume at max, and dont have any bad sounds, or unwanted noices.
is this while using the bluetooth headset?
Ive not tested it with the bluetooth set yet...
I seldom use that...
So, I think the sound in the phone itself is great.
How's the ringer volume, because I've heard random reports of it being pretty low.
Unfortunately, it is kind of low....
And i noticed when something blocks the speaker, like having it in the pocket, it becomes even lower...
And if in a somewhat noicy area.. Forget about hearing it..
this is currently one of my main gripes with the X10. The earpiece volume on my unit (firmware 1.6) is extremely low. At highest volume I get cracking and popping. If there is even a little background noise it becomes almost impossible to hear through the earpiece. It's getting to the point where the phone is almost unusable in many situations. Also the speaker volume is quite low as well. Miss many calls and notifications even at full volume.
I have just used the BT headset thus far. and the sound quality is good up until I attach them to the speakers.. Then they make a ****t up sound when I change song, or when it is no sound on at all. This does not happen when I connect them directly to the phone.
I’m having problems with the in-call volume on my X10I.
I called orange uk and was told that there have been many similar complaints with this handset on their network.
I was told them that it may be the deal breaker for me and told them i wished to return the handset.
The rep said that the reason the call volume was low was because i was using my old sim and not the one that was shipped with the upgrade.
Apparently there a certain profiles assigned to each sim for each respective handset???
The rep was confident that this would resolve my in call volume issues.
Anyone else aware of this?
Personally I have no problem with the soundquality. My problem is just low volume in the earpiece. Hopefully this can be turned up in updates or custom ROMs.
Earpiece volume is my main issue. However I am being told that it is down to my sim and not a software issue on the X10.
That doesn't sound right to me (excuse the pun) especailly as so many others are having this same fault.
That's irony for you, it works really well at everything else just not as a phone!

Hahaha, yeah well... I can't really say if that's true. I'm gonna try and get a new SIM since mine is like... Two-three years old. But I doubt that the SIM is causing problems like this.
I did get a new SIM with my upgrade, but as i didn't want to be without a phone for Two hrs whilst my services transferred to the new SIM, i just popped in my old one.
I will pop my new one in tonight and post my results.
I'm not confident though.
is it normal to hear own echo during a call?
That depends.. Is the person you are calling in the same room?
I've heard the odd few people mention this but I can't say that i've experienced this.
The volumes that low i probably wouldn't hear it anyway
Am on .16 and the volume/quality is ok if a little quiet, am mostly still getting used to switching back to pda phones from a candy bar phone, they are very different on your ear!
Now i'm on 1.0.14 and i thought upgrading to 1.0.16 may fix my issues but that update is not available for me (Orange UK).

I think SE said that the .16 update was for certain carriers and not for the phone itself. And since SE refuses to release change logs we'll probably never know.
Okay so I just changed my SIM card with the brand new one that comes with it, and there's no change in volume... Talking to the tech guy he claims that on some phones it actually did make a difference. Hard to say what they're told to say and what actually happens though.
Thats weird, im getting my X10 on tuesday, and I currently have a desire, and the sound volume in the earpiece isnt that high, and also the ring volume isnt that high, I was hoping for better from the X10 ;-(
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.
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?

try newest YukiXDA's ROM
Is it newer than his original nodo rom he dropped before DFT's?
Yes it is newer and supposedly better. I'm downloading it as I write this.

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
I am on the latest Trigger (Rom) and have had the same problem since build 12.
Basically my in-call volume (only while in call) has these massive jumps when adjusting the volume.
It sounds the like the following (highest to lowest) while using headset.
- Too low, too low, too low, Loud, Too loud, Ear Shattering +
The red flag, since build 12 was a crackling sound is heard where the headphones are inserted.
I have tried different Roms and this is where I am most happy. I posted in the the forum section with no real luck.
I tried the paid version of Voodoo sound and it adjusted the music volume but it seemed no changes were made to in call sound.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
The only thing I can think of is if you are holding the volume button then it will fly to min or max. Try single pressing the volume up or down. Just a thought.
Yeah, I noticed the same problem today while on the phone. Didn't really think too much of it, but its def a rom problem if you are also having the issue on redux.
