Running regular windows os I find that the speaker when playing music or call is significantly greater. While running android 2.2 darkstone build I find the speaker to be a bit.. pathetic? Are there any builds that fix this problem? or a potential fix? Also I want to know which build your using. Im a noob when it comes to android phones. Recently got into modding androids. So any help is appreciated.
use hastarins kernel (if youre on a ppp build) the volume is significantly increased in it

Hi
Recently poeple that I speak to on the hp have been complaining that the mic for my HTC dream hp is too sensitive such that noise around me is amplified. Does anyone here know of why or how to resolve this issue?
Possible reasons could be
1. I flashed a latest radio half a year ago.
2. I am using Audio Hack to make my speaker volume audible.
3. I don't think it is due to the ROM, but I am using CM 5 and CM 6.0's nightly recently.
tks
What radio..?
duct tape?
Thanks for the replies.
When I referred to "radio", I meant the 2.50SC.20.17H_2.22.23.02 baseband radio. It was release about half a year ago and was supposed to improved cellular signal strength.
Also, I am using Meltus Audio Hack - settings v6r2.
I am not thinking of using duct tape yet.. Haha
I think the mic sensitivity only increased recently. Are there any hacks to reduce the mic sensitivity, or does anyone face the same issue? Anyway, my handphone specs are as follows.
Hardware - HTC DREAM
2850mAh extended battery
Baseband version: 62.50SC.20.17H_2.22.23.02
Kernel version: 2.6.34-cyanogenmod [email protected] #6
Mod Version: CyanogenMod-6-07092010-NIGHTLY-DS
Build Number: FRF83
Recovery: Clockwork Recovery (Rom Manager)
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 have a HTC HD2, with Android 2.3, and the everything is going good, exept the Volume level, it's to low, and it sound awful, diffrent when i had WM 6.5, so how can i increase the volume?? Any app, that could help me with this, or do i have to do it in the Settings or something?

Flash HyperDroidGBX v12, you wont believe it, how it sounds
Compared to litening rom 1.4 the max spl is to low with litening rom ver 1.5 some songs from pink floyds echos (greeatest hits) are just not loud enought. Is there way to fix it ? Don't want to use woodoo kernel (not optimized for litening rom)
Get power amp and select the preset for loud speakers or something similar to that and it should be fine also the app equaliser might work well but i think you might have to change the frequencies manually.
I've just updated my Galaxy S2 with this lite' 1.5.
My first feeling in music apps is that sound isn't good as in stock Rom KF2.
Anyone experience this problem?
And how to fix this.
Thanks.
yep same problem here .. past 5 days i spent experimenting with audio settings n tools like volume+ etc.. nothing seems to be working.. when u compare song n sound qaulity to my old samsung wave.. wave is much cris,clear n ten times louder..
does this get fixed on newer versions?
Hi Guys,
I've seen other threads about this issue with the mic gain being set too high on the nexus 4, but all of them resolve the issue with Faux Sound or something similar that uses a custom kernel. The problem is I'm running CyanogenMod 10.2 latest nightlies, which annoyingly don't let me use Faux or Franco kernels... or any others that I can find for that matter... So, is there any way that I can adjust the system mic gain whilst still keeping CM?
For anyone not aware of the problem, the audio is recorded very distorted in most apps, including making a skype test call, so probably in-call as well. The only app unaffected is Tape Machine by Samalyse, as they seem to have figured out a way to adjust the mic gain in app.
If I can't get it sorted I guess I'll have to figure out how to get stock android 4.4 on my phone with faux kernel...
cheers!
