In-Call Volume

Hi everybody,
I'm not hoping to get any answers for my question (just like my other questions) but I have an issue with my Touch HD, can anybody help me?
When I'm talking to a person on the phone, pressing one of the volume rocker buttons causes the volume in the "Ring" section of the volume manager to change ... Is this normal? Or my device is faulty?
And ... even if I go to the "System" section and play with the volume rocker buttons, I feel no difference in the sound of the person I'm talking to ... What about this issue? Has anyone else had the same issue? Is there something wrong with my device? Is it something related to Auto Volume settings?
Please ............. please help me.

I have the same problem. Incoming call not loud enough and no way to fix this problem.

hi,
maybe you have changed the dialer skin to the WM-original one? If the HTC-dialer is disabled i've noticed exactly this problem (and also that the Bluetooth symbol isn't shown if BT is activated). The only way to have this working is enabling the HTC-dialer again...
bye

Hi and thank you.
I've installed Inesoft Phone and hence I use it dialer for dialing, but as you also mentioned, when the number is being dialed, the original WM dialer is shown. I really like Inesoft Phone; is there any way to switch to HTC-dialer just for the "dialing" and "In call" screens?

Xperia X10 Help

Hey guy can you help me with this problem that I have with my Xperia X10
Sometimes when people call the ringer does not go off. Its bloody annoying and I miss a lot of calls that way.
My settings are all set the right way
And this happens when I not changing as well
Sometimes when I reboot my phone it SOMETIMES fixes the issue, but still.
Anyone else with the same issue??

Is it rooted, updated, you have any application that manages your calls most probably.. you should supply more info.
sent from my x10i that is banging for a 2.1 upgrade. ...

Thanks for reply
Yeh i have a root 20 x10
mm the only app i have that would be working with the ringer would be blink. Has a specific color led for incoming and missed calls.

Try to uninstall it, maybe its causing the problem. Some settings in it could conflict with other default ones, I had problem once.

[Q] HELP: Speak Incoming CallerID

First post, please be kind... and thanks to everyone on this forum for all the support!
Is there anyway to get incoming calls to "Speak incoming CallerID + Ring"? I use to have this option on my Verizon Phone but the EPIC only has an option to Speak incoming callerID or RING only. When I get an incoming call, I would like the phone to speak the callerID once then play the ringtone.
Settings -->Text-to-speech-->Speak incoming CallerID

Search for saymyname in the market

I tried that app and it was very buggy. Very inconsistent, caused ringtone to stop working, would not work properly. Uninstalled.
Any other apps out there?

I have a related problem.
When using this feature, if BT is connected, it routes the audio to the BT device, and doesn't "speak" via the internal speaker.
Unlike the ringer, which (correctly) rings ringtone through speaker, BT gets the stock ring sound built-in to the BT device. That's the way it's supposed to work.
Turn on the spoken caller-id with BT and the only way you know you have a call is if you are listening to your BT device (headset, in this case). I refuse to be one of those dweebs that walks around with my BT headset in my ear when I'm not talking on the phone.
Anyone know how to have this play through the speaker with BT connected?

That app is working perfectly on my Epic. I've even got it tweaked so that it says the name in between each ring. Maybe you didn't get into the settings enough. I had it on my EVO before the Epic and it worked well on it too.

Actually I did play with all the settings for about 2 days until I realized my phone randomly stopped playing ringtones and settings were changed to "silent" on its own. From the reviews, it seems that the updated software is more buggy than the previous versions.
I just wish our phone had an option to speak CallerID name + Ring. The DroidX has it by default.

My grandmother used to say "wish in one hand and poop in the other and see which one fills up first" God rest her soul...
I have seen saymyname change the ringer to silent before. All I did to fix it was change the ringer back to what it was previously in the phone's settings.

So far I've ben using Talking Caller ID and its been working okay except options are very limited unless paid version. But at least it seems very stable.

This is to enable call waiting in our line. If I am calling you, and you are talking to someone else, what notification does my screen give? Let me try that, never thought about it until now...

I don't know about you, but my phone (running Nexus-HD2 Gingerbread) just beeps when I've got a call waiting. It is rather quiet, but it's there.

Guys you just don't get it
What I'm talking about is when I'm calling someone..
And that someone has call waiting enabled and is already in another call
In my old nokia n70 I used to get "waiting" notification appearing on my screen during the call process
But in android ...
It just rings normally with no notifications what so ever !!!!!
So I never know whither my contact is already in a call or not
So I keep on ringing and the other parry gets annoyed...
The only time I ever saw an actual notification in android was in some Samsung galaxy (I don't remember which , they all look the same to me )
A toast notification that says "waiting" appeared and disappeared
So please could some awesome developer confirm this and port this very important missing feature to our lovely androids ?

Whenever I call someone that has call waiting enabled and they are on a call I just get a ringing tone, as if their phone is ringing. I've never had any phone do anything different, so I don't know what you're expecting to happen.

Nokia phones have a feature that let's you know if the person you are calling has another call and your call is waiting on that person's phone.
So when you are dialing if you are looking at the screen of your phone you get a "Waiting" notification to let you know.

Well...Iunderstand what you are saying...yes nokia has that...but we also get an engage beep tone ...i don't get a ringing sound if the other person is on another call...that works for me..how do you get a ringing tone??? Never heard that In my country

You are missing the point..it is not about your call waiting... Eg. I call you and if you are on another call, my nokia phone would show that you are on another call by displaying a notice "call waiting" to indicate that you are busy. Yes this feature was also there on my motorola and nokia phones

I know what you are talking about, i have seen this. I used to get it on my HD2 with Win 6.5, but i honestly have not seen it on my HD2 with android.
I think it is a carrier thing also. I never ever got the "Waiting" message when calling vodafone or optus phones, only when calling other telstra phones. Never saw it when i was using vodaphone either, with any phone, only ever saw it on telstra.

Ok I get it now ...but what is the use of that the carrier tells you when your call is in wait

[Q] call speakerphone quality DEFY+ MB526

After years using nokia and symbian OS I decided to buy a new MOTOROLA DEFY+ MB526
after 1 week I would say great phone except for quality audio phone calls
I'll explain: during a call to someone sometimes i ear a tiny little buzz while the opposite phone ringing, then my partner has a voice at times seems a little metallic....
but the thing i hate is during the conversation I hear my own voice as echol ...
someone tells me that is a feature motorola the instant return of your own voice in the capsule, may like it or not .... there is the possibility to remove or change it ? is a software or hardware feature?
I tried to replace the sim with an other, but the same problem of the return of my voice
I then tried with skype .... and with surprise h, the problem disappears
instead the noise is likely to be charged instead to the area where work,
Let's see if I can do a restore of the phone
I think the problem is the second microphone to me, because if the microphone off during the call I hear the return of my voice

I've got 2 MB526 in my house and both have VERY pleasant voice sound. No echo, no metallic sounding... The sound is very clear and very natural. And it's set to normal, so I guess it can sound even more natural if set to that option.
I think you should send it to service, cause that ain't normal.

I really don't know, but I hope your new device will be okay!

i hope too
i hope it isn't a problem with all defy+ from germany with italian sim cards..

Check in settings - Call Settings - Voice quality.
- Tick the Balance mode to have better voice(balance - crystal sound)
- Or choose other option suit you in the list
Note: You may also increase or reduce the ear piece volume during a call to suit your hearing mood.
Also you may try disable in build.prop : ro.mot.hw.crystaltalk=1 to (0)
Skype normally wouldn't use the 2nd mic.. This 2nd mic is used for noise cancelling when in call mode specially thru the simcard service provider.
Now, I may wrong but this is something I understand though..

thanks

i don't undrstand what you mean? my defy+ is original, not modified, i don't know that command you wrote...

This method above must be on a rooted phone and access it in system/build.prop.
But I don't think it is necessary for you now since your device is not rooted yet.
Try first the other options I mentioned above and see if they do solved your earpiece issue.

So, since you'd narrow down your findings.. I think the only option now is to hit the road and make a visit to your nearest Motorola service center..

no
i said that i call the sellers of the phone AMAZON.DE and they said that they have send me a replacement, it will be thursday or friday in my hands

AMAZON.DE is very efficient
The new phone is already in my hands ....
first i charged the battery, insert the sim, I input my account MOTOBLUR etc .....
I tried to make a call .....
same problem, I hear the echo of my voice in the speaker phone, even turning off the microphone
so i tried to download and install skype .... no problem ...
so i'm very unlucky
what i have to do now? send the phone to motorola service? call AMAZON to send another phone?
ask AMAZON for a refund and then buy someyhing else?
i'm very angry
can you make a test for me? turn off the microphone during a call, place your hand between your mouth and the microphone and tried to speak, do you hear your voice?

i send my phone to motorola service
i'll wait 2 weeks for my repair....
i hope....

how can i made this?

i can't root because i have 2.3.6 build 231

if service will not solve the problem i'll change defy with sonyericsson xperia neo

Tonight I went to the Motorola shop where i leaved my defy+ to ship to service, because I had forgotten one thing from them, and I find that there has not been sent becuase the MB526 is not on their list but only defy MB525 and they wait an email from Motorola Service Italy to know how to record it;
the shopkeeper told to me that my phone with this serial number was produced in Tajikistan and has only 12 months warranty

after service the problem is the same

so now from a friend of mine, i have a motorola defy mb525 with the same problem
i have the WIUI 2.4.20
i try to find build.prop : ro.mot.hw.crystaltalk=1 to (0)
but there isn't this row...

My stock Defy+ M526 occasionally has this echo also, I've tried different voice quality settings but it makes no improvement. It doesn't always do it however.
Interestingly I used a friend's Samsung Galaxy Y the other day and noticed the exact same thing..... I never had it on my old ZTE Blade android though.
