I love everything about my Epic, except the Visual Voicemail is almost unusable for me. The audio level is so low I can barely hear it, whether I use it normally or in speakerphone mode. This is the only application that has this problem. I have no issues on calls with either speaker. It's hard for me to imagine I'm the only one having this problem, yet I can't find any other threads that mention it. Is my phone the only one with this issue?
Thanks.
Your volume turned up?

I also have the same problem! It doesn't even connect to my bluetooth headset
Same here. Every possible volume it turned all the way up and I can barely hear my voicemails through either the speaker or the earpiece. What gives?

During phone calls my speaker fluctuates between being barely audible and a normal volume. Is there a solution to this or is my speaker dying?
Have you replaced the screen or ever opened your phone?

Yes I have, but I haven't really taken it off since I rooted the phone. This problem has only been happening within the month
one time bump hoping there are some answers
I have the same problem, i have to connect my bluetooth or hadsfree to receive a call... it´s impossible to understand what the other side is saying... some times i hear a lot of bass...
i´ve tried to use the HAC, but it only lowers the frequency when it happens... the sound still goes and comes
Should i replace the earpiece?
On calls I get popping sounds. a few times the pops have been so loud I almost dropped.
The microphone is also really low. people can't hear me I use to be able (Gnexus) to set the phone down and talk with it on the computer table next to me but now they can't hear me.

Standard 'is this a hardware problem?' test:
1. If you are on a custom ROM, flash completely back to stock and retest.
2. If you are already on stock, backup all your data and factory reset. Even better, completely wipe the phone and re-install stock and retest.
3. If the issue still occurs, the issue is most likely with the hardware. If the issue no longer occurs, then it was a software problem.
4. If I understand this reply correctly, you have already received a replacement device and the issue still occurs. In this case, you happen to be very unlucky.
As for the Nexus 4 in general, I can only speak anecdotally. I don't have the issue on the seven Nexus 4 devices I've tested: two of my own, three from coworkers/friends who also own the device, and two test devices.

Since the issue only happens during Skype calls and not while using the standard calling function, I would blame this issue on VOIP quality: either your latency is high, Skype is having quality issues, or some combination of the two. I have issues with Skype call quality on both my phone and my PC, and the issues are largely to do with Skype throttling the call bandwidth.
what about my mic issue the sounds very low. is there a way to change the gain on the microphone? I always use my phone by calling 1 of my friends I'm placing the phone beside my desk as I speak with them they can't hear me with this new phone they were able to perfectly hear me with the galaxy Nexus.

No advice?
This problem seems to be new.
Whenever I Video call, Skype or hangouts. My call volume is so low that i can barely hear the other person. Even with the volume turned all the way up in settings its still so low i can barely hear them. I thought maybe it was a hardware problem, however when i play music or even use speaker phone on a non video call the sound is loud and clear. Something seems to be switching the volume to a much lower setting right as the call picks up. Has anyone else seen this problem?

Hello... I'm posting almost a year after yours to say that I had the same problem with my Note 3 on JasmineROM 2.4.4. I never looked into it, because I didn't do video calls very often, and I just got used to using a bluetooth headset to make the calls.
I now have a Note 4 Developer Edition, and I gave the Note 3 to my wife. We did a video call this morning, and she said she couldn't hear me at all. So, the problem has come back. But, the problem is... she can't just use a bluetooth headset because we do video calls so that I can see my son when I'm not at home... and I want him to hear me. Good luck keeping a bluetooth headset on a toddler.
Did you ever find a root cause (or a solution) to this problem?
Thanks.
Anyone else experiencing super low microphone volume when using hangout calls on speakerphone/video calls? The other person i'm calling says they can barely hear me.

yes, very much so. I may have found a weird workaround as this was annoying me for some time. You must leave the call screen up and let the first couple rings happen with speakerphone off. Then switch to speakerphone and do not leave the screen or turn off the call screen until the call is initiated. After that mess that i stumbled upon, i could be heard much better when making a speakerphone call with hangouts. Also, make sure not to cover both the front speakers or the mic in the back. Basically you must hold the phone in your hands as I believe laying it down on either face will obstruct mics.... Obviously a flaw that should be worked out I would hop with software or hangouts updates. I have opened a complaint thread on the google hangouts forums. I suggest you go there and explain that you have the problem too so that it may be looked at a bit more...
Thanks, posted on the Hangout support forum, so one else replied and said they have the same issue as well. Unfortunately though, I can't get your trick to work for me, super low mic volume unless I put my mouth right next to the top speaker grill. Hopefully this gets fixed, I think my wife is tired of seeing my chin during video calls.
I'm experiencing the same problem but with WhatsApp calls. It also happen on normal phone calls where there's no sound coming or going out, have to hang up and try the call again.
Anyone notice the speakers are only good at 100%.. Lower it to 90-80% and I can barely hear them, standing at about 1ft - 1.5ft
No news on this? Renders speaker calls on Hangouts, Viber etc useless.
Also, where on Google Forums did you post?
Hello,
When people call me I speak through BT and they sound loud an clear. However when I try to listen to a voicemail I have to be in a dead silent room to even remotely make out what they are saying when playing back through Bluetooth. I have the BT volume turned all the way up. I switch to speaker, they are loud and clear. I'm not sure if this is an android issue or an LG issue.
Also no problem with google driving directions through Bluetooth. THe only time BT is too quiet is when playing back voicemails. I have to switch to speakers every time.
How do you listen to voicemails? Through phone by dialing the voicemail number or through a voicemail app?
Good question. It turns out that the apps is what is quiet. When I dial *86 my voicemail is loud and clear. Any suggestions (other than not using the VM app)?
I ended up trying another VM app and it didn't have the volume issue. Thanks for pinpointing the source of the issue.
Glad it's fixed. Ive only ever tried the T-Mobile voicemail app and it works alright except for the fact that it doesn't turn the screen off when trying to listen to the voicemail and if I manually turn off the screen then it stops playing so the only way I can listen with activating stuff with my face is speaker mode or Bluetooth headset.
