I've tried three or four Android ROMs and they all have incredibly loud in-call volume. Hoping one of you guys can recommend a ROM that works properly and fulfills its primary function as a phone. It's frustrating to see so much effort being put into fixing things like blurry MMS and LED notifications when the basic function as a usable phone that doesn't blast your eardrum to smithereens is overlooked.

Thanks!
Odd. Usually people complain about the low in-call volume on phone's. Here is the complete opposite. I would choose loud over too low any time
What roms are you using? Might give it a go. ;-)

x3, I thought I was going deaf when I first switched to using these roms.
Seems like you're a sense junkie, but if you can live without sense, I'm using cmn 2.0 by ocm and it seems okay. Also, most the gingerbread roms seemed fine, although those come with their own batch of problems.

Hey all, I've been trying to use Android with my T-Mobile HD2, and I have only run into two issues. First off the sound (imported ringtones and what not) run at a faster pace then normal and are slightly pitched up. Any idea how to fix this? I'm pretty sure that it isn't the system in general, because my clock runs at the correct speed.
Secondly, I can't take pictures with my camera in 2.1 because I obviously don't have an "optical trackball".
Any thoughts?
i have the same problem i think it might be the radio so im changing it to see ill get back to you and let you know if it works.
so i found out whats the problem its the radio i bet ur using 2.12.50 that one doesnt work for sound im using 2.10.50.26 and that one is working great sound is perfect again
Cool, thanks. Any idea how to work the camera?

Hey guys There is a whole forum dedicated to Android on the HD 2 Please post your questions there.

Looking to see what options we have to adding a bit more volume to the media levels of the external speaker.
Running LeeDroid 2.2.2/2.2.8 and even with the "20% boost" the ext. speaker is still very quiet.
What methods are there of adding more "loudness" to our external speaker after we've rooted?
Post your personal experience if possible..
Thanks!
Imho none, besides using external speakers. Don't forget it's a tiny lil speaker, what you expect from it?

Yep, it's definitely a small speaker. I've heard more (at least louder) come from comparable units. So it's an understandable expectation.
Thanks for the reply! Apparently the DSP Manager is broken when used on most new ROMs so hopefully that comes back to life.
Any other thoughts/suggestions appreciated.

Boost the sounds with a pc application and copy them back to your SD (soundforge comes to mind)

Yeah that would work with ringtones and notification tones well but wouldn't do much for media volumes. Especially when you're streaming.
Leedroid gingerbread Rom is louder quite a bit. Could always backup and try it. I can't go back to froyo even tho it will do more for me with custom kernel because I can actually hear my phone ring now.

Sad, but true. However the Desire and Desire Z do have some impressive volume levels.
HTC have fixed the volume issues with the latest ota update for those on stock. My hdh is now very loud.

Isn't that just the audio fix for the tinny sound coming through the internal speaker while on the phone?
Yes sorry you are right. Its just the internal speaker. I have tried volume booster from market and that works very good to increase volume level, but only with earphones plugged in.

Freshly Sqeezed FTW. MrGaraks does wonders! miss MIUI! lol...
I tried a 1.7.15 official MIUI and seemed a bit laggish. I like MIUI style but i want a perfectly smooth rom, i hate lags
Suggestions? Sci-MIUI or Freshly Squeezed?
there are no major diffference between all of the dhd miui roms here. the differences are only optical and/or minor optimizations/customizations.
regarding lags and battery time it basically does not matter which miui custom rom you are using.
as far as i know no one of the miui cursom rom devs here is really changing anything on the original miui. or changes are only additional scripts for tweaking some parameters or including a customiuzation mod or a different kernel.
there is far less magic than many users might think.
mr.garaks freshly squeezed miui is a very good rom. the best about this rom is mr.garak himself because he is very fast at helping.
i cannt talk about rd miui (sorry if it is wrong, not sure about the name) by dekky as i didn't tested it. but judging from his changelist he also didn't changed much significant. so his rom should also work very good..
though, some of the tweaks one of us applies to his rom could make trouble for some users or sometimes it is simply a coincidence. try them out and where you feel most comfortable that you should keep. there is no real best miui rom.
I'm on newest official with supercharger and kernelizer and oc.. INCREDIBLE SPEED i just had to bold it
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using Tapatalk
I personally use the official released from "MIUIAndroid.com". That way I have a better idea of what's been done to my ROM, and I know that random tweaks haven't been done.
For issues regarding lag. I use LordModUE Kernel. Whether or not it actually makes a difference or if it's just the placebo effect I do not know. But I know that I enjoy the experience more with LordModUE.
Just my 2 cents.

@Arktihx : i fully understand you. that's one of the reasons why i started doing my own miui rom
i have a quite detailed change over stock list. and if this is not enough i am willing to pinpoint the changes. i think this should every dev do.
for some reason, whenever i call people they say its hard to hear me. I'm thinking something might be wrong with my phones microphone :l anyone know anything i can do to maybe fix this?

What ROM/Kernel are you running? Any cases or covers on your phone? When did the problem first start happening?
I'm using the ics beta ROM with it's stock kernal. I have a tpu fusion case which I've always had on my phone with no problems. the calling volume problem started rather recently. I've tried backing up to older roms and the problem Is still there. I'm hoping it's not a hardware issue

Older backups of the ICS beta, or older backups of completely different ROMS? Because given that the ICS ROM is very much still in beta stages, I think it's a safe bet that the problem lies with the ROM if that's the case. But if you're trying different ROMs and the problem persists, I think it unfortunately points to a hardware issue.
Similar Issue
I have a MyTouch 4G with a back and sides only case
I am running creamed glacier 7.1, I have tried it with the bundled kernel as well as the virtuosso ICS beta kernel and the Darkside 13.2 kernel from the creamed glacier thread. I have also tried the test 200 version of creamed glacier.
Sounds from my end come through very quietly; not muted or garbled in anyway just unbearably quiet when I speak normally.
Since multiupload is down, creamed glacier is the only ICS rom I have been able to download and try.
I would like to know which part of a custom rom controls the microphone, and if anyone knows what I should try to fix the problem.
It's a known hardware issue for every ICS rom on this forum. Please read the OP of the ROM's thread when experiencing issues. also for ROM's you can dl them from ROM manager or for Virtuous you can download them from their website (virtuousrom.com)

Assuming you mean the ICS Beta Rom "Creamed Glacier" (They ALL are Beta Stage, By the way) then the kernels included have a mic issue known. On page# 311 of the forum right now, about halfway down, is a link to a kernel that should fix the issue. A few people have tested/confirmed it works. Hope this helps, thank if it does!
EDIT: I meant page 311 of the Creamed Glacier Forum, sorry if that wasn't obvious lol
if you are talking about comb_kernel_WOB.zip, that did not help for me despite working for others. If you're talking about a different kernel, Dwill, I'm not finding it unfortunately.
that's the one I was talking about. I haven't had a chance to try it yet, I just noticed it earlier and thought it'd be worth a shot. Sorry it didn't help.
I'm sure the devs will figure it out eventually. I just hope they are paying attention that the suggested kernels are not working for everyone.
I think its kernel related because if you turn call volume up they can hear you a little better, but if call volume is low they cant hardly hear you at all.

There is a post somewhere which mentions you can get rid of the lag by removing the oc daemon, i did this and its all speedy fast now.

Well just to let you know if you r runin blackout ICS the way to avoid lag is choosing ultrasmooth and in daemon controller change cpu freq to smartassV you will notice the diference right away

Fast DHD
The DHD with Blackout 3 rom is extremly fast compared to before with the official HTC, which was always lagging or crashing... It is a very impressive job from the Blackout team! :good: Thank you!
PS: the demon controller was set up conservative as CPU Freq. I just change it to smartassv2 as buhor suggested. Did not see much difference since it was fast before already.
Cant see why htc didnt do their own ics after all, its so much faster than stock/gingerbread roms.
The only thing i dont like about 4+ is that third party apps like gocontacts/sms cant sync pictures from facebook.
anyone have this problem? when i made/received a call, i have to reboot the phone otherwise when the next call i made/received, the other party will not be able to hear my voice, although i can hear them clearly. According to them, they only heard some distortion noise in the background.
I pmed them but have not yet received a reply so i just post here to ask.
maybe you should wait for the update. Im sure it wont take long
Thats weird I would recommend a full wipe reinstall it..if doesnt work try a dif radio......I ve tested several ICS and this One is the most stable 4 me
