Hey all,
New to the forum and first post!
Look forward to speaking and getting to know you all.
Question: Anyone having issues with the ringer volume?
Mine is set to Max but it's still so soft/low.
I can barely hear the phone in my pocket or jacket.
Any fix for this?
Thanks.
*added* - also vibrate is very weak!
Get a belt clip case to wear it, you'd look Sooo Cool

LOL! good idea!
but that won't help either.
if i can't hear my phone while it's in my jacket (pocket on the inside of jackets right where heart/below heart is). i doubt i can hear it on the waist!
is it only my phone or are there others out there with the same issue?
and before any smarty pants comments, my hearing is fine!
thanks!
Yep. Same here. Also the vibrate is horribly weak...

i use my own custom notification and ring tones, and have no problem, maybe someone with abit of time can put the stock tones through an audio converter and increase the volume
Here is what to do, (do exactly as I say before you say it did not work).
1- unlock your screen if it is locked
2- press home button (no mater what, just press it)
3- hold the valuem up for 10 sec
now it should be louder
Is there supposed to be any new / different notification after 10 seconds?

ijustwantthedownload: yes vibrate is terrible as well. so very faint/weak!
m3dteam: lol... that changes nothing. volume is already set on max it's not different changing it that way.
anyone else that has same issues?
anyone else that can help?
=)
I had the same issue I fixed it though by getting this App Volume+ from the Market. Then I downloaded this other app Zedge from the marketplace and replaced my ringtone.

G'day all
My mum just bought herself a new Wildfire, and so far she's liking it, but she reckons that the ringtone volume on it is not as loud as her old Nokia N95-3. Has anyone tried hacking the volume on the Buzz yet? Would I have to r00t the phone?
Hope you can all help, and thanks all in advance?
PS: Would a Froyo Sense ROM be worth installing, over having Eclair with the Telstra crap there?
Anyone?

Don't root - if you charge the phone whilst it is off and then remove the cable the light remains and you have to remove the battery to make it usable
and to increase the rinfer volume press the up button on the left when music isn't playing
Umm, hate to say it, but it seems you're getting the wrong idea about my problem, mate.
Well the first thing I did was I made sure that the ringer volume was turned up full bore using the volume rocker on the side, like come on, the ringer volume level setting would be the first thing most people would check before they'd post this stuff on XDA.
By the way, the notification LED isn't the problem btw. I only asked if I would have to root the phone to adjust some low level setting to make Android give more volume out the speaker than what it currently allows.

Oops my bad I'll try turning off that feature, and let you know how I go.
And I might wait a bit before rooting, now that you mention that CWMod on the wildfire is rather wonky when you charge it.
Cheers for that mate!
Hi
Can anyone help?
This is annoying more than stopping me using the phone but when i want to make a phone call the noises of the tone dialing when you press a number are very very faint, have to hold it to my ear to hear it, it wasnt like this yesterday??????
Have checked all the sound settings and volume and they are all high/max but still no joy, spoken to HTC who I could not understand, sounded spanish and he could not do it either...
Keypad volume is linked to the media volume, turn the media volume up in the sound settings and you should be good.
Already done that..... its on max and phone button noise is barely audible....
Just noticed its not just the dialing tones its also the little tick noise you get when you press any icon on the screen, thats quiet too
Have you dropped your phone over night? Is it running stock?
Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk
My phone is standard.... has a few apps etc but thats it.
I did drop it a few weeks ago, no visible damage, but im quite sure the dialer noise and click when you tap the screen has just happened.... its not gone its just very very quiet... tried ticking the button to switch it on and off and that has not done anything either, HTC said they didnt know but to do a hard reset
Have you used the fm radio? Sounds odd but I used it once on either the desire or desire hd and when the volume on that was down so was the system volume. Stab in the dark
Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk
Ive never used the radio on this phone, i even removed the otter box case to see if that was muffling the noise and its not.... looks like a hard reset then!
Gutted mate, let us know if the reset works.

its a small bub install a free app volume ace and when u open it u'll see a system volume slider.... jst slide up...and here u go...full vol as before...
What do you mean about "its a small bub..."
I will try and find the app, thanks for the info
Just download an app called Quick Settings and adjust the System Volume to max and you can hear the screen taps and other sounds. I had this problem and that app solved it.
I don't know how but I've suddenly got the keypad sounds back at correct volume on phone dialer.. but strangely my qwerty keypad noises have not only returned but now sounds like an old fashioned type writer??? My 4 yr old was messing with it earlier, but I've checked all settings and they haven't changed..
I had the same problem thanks for recommending the app its worked perfectly Your my hero lol Seriously though thanks.
Thanks a lot mate !! Volume Ace is AWESOME \m/ Solved all my problems

Thank you, I had the same problem the OP had. Downloaded volume ace now and my system volume was turned right down.
Has anyone experienced a really loud vibration sound on their DHD? It is really annoying so I've turned it off. Is there a way to configure this?
Thanks
Check whether the metal ring around your LED flash is not loose and that it vibrating is not causing that noise.
It's not loose with my phone, and it also makes a lot noise when it vibrates.

I had issues with vibration before. If It's not right send it back...
It is simple to fix for HTC. Don't settle for second best.
My phone feels amazing now my vibration is working correctly, before it was embarrassing when it vibrated. Really horrible experience to use the phone.

You can change the vibrate pattern within Chompsms for when you get texts. It won't change the force of the vibration, but it can be set to a shorter one.
I find it odd that the lowest volume down setting is vibrate. To me, that's not the most silent state.
Which way do you prefer it, with the lowest setting being vibrate or actually silent?
I'm fine with it being vibrate. I use QuickSettings for changing profiles anyway.

I agree, lowest setting should be silent, not vibrate.
Not a big deal, but just a bit strange if you ask me...oh well!
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2
totally agree.. i hate vibrate mode.
In some ways it makes sense to have the vibrate at the lowest setting. It's easy to get to because all you do is hold the volume button and you're there instead of holding it down and pushing up once. Or worse yet, hitting the volume down as many times as it takes to get down there.
I use vibrate a lot, never silence. If I'm somewhere where I can't mess with my phone or have it distract everything, I put it on vibrate so I at least know I missed something. My girlfriend puts her S3 on silence all the time but if she doesn't put it back on at least vibrate, you can't get a hold of her because of it or if she forgot where she put it down at, you can't call it to listen for anything. Unless I'm in a dead silent room where even a vibrate would be rude, I don't have a need for silent mode.
I voted for it to be vibrate, but should ALL phones have that configuration? Who knows. But for me, it works.

Hah this (but in a nicer way )
Maybe email HTC and suggest that they offer the option to switch between the two in the settings?
I mean, when I'm in a meeting, having a vibrating phone is not going to cut it. If I need to covertly unlock my phone to go completely silent, hitting volume down x 8 times then volume up is kind of silly. And still a bit scary if the volume up didn't register, or registered twice.
I am using vibrate always coz i don't know the different between vibrate and silent....
You guys can change the settings of Vibrate profile so that it is actually silent, can't you?

Mine are hit and miss honestly. I have a lot of custom ringtones, and some are loud some aren't. I do have a set that I modified for the LG G3 that had the loudness boosted. I may have try them. I don't know if its a speaker issue, or what.

I think the placement of the speaker may have something to do with it. I mean. sometimes my email notification goes off, and its loud. and then if I'm holding the phone, and the same notification goes off, its softer, so I wonder if I'm blocking the speaker ya know?

Pretty sure sounds are reduced when you're detected to be holding the phone
I've noticed it really depends on the ringtone or sound itself. I was missing the ones i was using on my M8, so I ended up downloading them and adding them to the 10. Azalea is tone of the loudest notification sounds I've found.

I have a slightly different question about ringtones and notifications. I've been able to add my own ringtone, but can't figure how to add a new notification sound. I thought it would be as easy as dropping a sound file in the notification folder like my M8, but nothing is showing up in settings. Is there a particular file it needs to be, or am I putting it into the wrong folder? Or am I just doing something completely wrong?

I also had this issue. I found that after placing the notifications in the Notification folder and then restarting the phone, everything showed correctly. For some reason the phone had to be restarted before they would show in the Notification selector screen

does somebody here noticed this? when the phone is ringing this ONLY sound in the lower speaker very muffled and low, the upper speaker not sounds at all
when i hear music this sounds very good in both speakers ( i´m usin poweramp)
it seems like a software/ error
Happening on mine also.
Transmissum est uti Tapatalk ab Xperia Z-IV tabula meo
Also happening on mine. Ringtones and notifications sound great when I'm selecting them, but when I actually get a call, email or text they sound muffled. Its very annoying. Any ideas?
I wrote to HTC chat ( customer support), I did everything that they told me, and nothing ( i cleared the wipe cache and them I did a factory reset). They said that the query was upscale to the developers and they should include a fix in the next software update . I´m sure about a software bug. Does somebody try to root and use Viper4A?
It's getting weirder: like you guys already said before, the ringtone only fires from the bottom speaker which sounds just muffled and overall bad. Though after around 9 seconds it seems like the top speaker kicks in and suddenly I have a clear sound, just like how the original file is supposed to sound. Is that are a hardware defect or just a really annoying software bug?
Edit: Just noticed this is the Verizon thread, while mine is a European model of Three UK/AT on 1.53.
Anyone figure this out? Once in awhile I've had it where it did play out of both speakers while receiving a phone call. Really don't like how low the ringtones and notifications sound out of just the bottom speaker.
