Please, please help guys.
My HD2 is ear-piercingly loud during a call even when i turn the volume down to a min.
I have searched the forum but cant find a definitive answer to lower the volume even further....there must be a work-around!
When i am at work, nearly the whole office can hear the other person talking to me, it's quite embarrassing.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Its a known bug, several people have contacted HTC about this.
They have said they are going to release a hotfix for it, quite as to when and if they even are is another thing.
oh ok then.
i take it, there will be info posted on this forum when/if something has been released?
If you are talking about the same problem I have, there is a temporary solution.
What I find is that when I am dialling, the volume is terribly loud. However if I press the volume up one notch, then down - it goes to the correct volume.
Seems there is a default minimum that overrides the user defined level, but once you alter the user defined level, it takes notice.
Odd, but works for me.
I have never had this issue, but I use Volumex (http://volumex.jdbp.mobi). Gives me a better control of it. Give it a try
This morning when I revieved a call I could barely here the person talking to me. It was like the in call volume was turned to the lowest setting.
I am just past the 14 day return period so I have to do a warranty exchange. Has anyone else had or heard of such problem?

I had this same problem. One easy solution I found was turning the HAC mode on (found under Settings > Call Settings). This increases the call volume a good bit. But it doesn't change the bluetooth or wired headset volume.
Unless Im missing the point, just use your volume rockers and adjust the volume up. Its pretty loud when you crank it up.
this may not even be your problem.
For most of my calls the volume rocker gave plenty of headroom. I just had to turn the HAC mode on to boost the volume for my one friend that's a "low talker". Same person but on my G1 the volume was fine.
turning on hac mode helps thanks

Im not going to speak for OP but i know that for me whenever i answer a call its at 3/4 volume even whenever i turn it up the next call i pick up will still be at 3/4 volume. seems to be a "feature" so you dont get blasted by someone on the other end however at the same time its annoying when i talk with my wife all the time and shes soft spoken.
It's not the rocker, I have it turned all the way up though I noticed that changing the volume makes no difference, the sound is still extremely low. My problem is most likely a hardware issue.
I called in for a warranty exchange and I should be getting a new phone any day now

This works great! Thank you. I called Samsung and they said there was no way to increase the handset volume. Well pretty sad users know more about the phone workings than the damn company!

Thats because companies do not train their customer service reps on the devices. Then they transfer you over to "technical support", who are the same people just going through basic troubleshoot software provided by the REAL techincal folks at samsung. Calling them always insults my intelligence, because ill try to speed the call up by saying "ive already tried all of the basic troubleshooting methods", yet they will continuously ask me things like "did you try a reboot?", "did you pull the battery?".
Bottom line, these companies cannot afford to pay thousands of Sombionixes and Cyanogens to handle tech support hahaha
TMOUSA HD2, latest stock ROM.
I searched about this problem on the web with Google, and on this forum, and have not yet found a solution. I hope that someone reading can help me.
This has nothing to do with the system volume, nor the ringer volume, both of which I have set to max.
It only involves in-call volume, hearing the other party talking to you. I have this same problem whether the sound is coming directly from the handset pressed against my ear, or with a bluetooth headset.
Whenever I receive a call on the HD2, at first the sound of the other party's voice is WAY too low. I cannot understand anything they say, do not know who it is, in fact I barely hear anything. (That, despite, both the system and ringer volumes both set to max.)
Then, I press the volume up on the volume rocker several times, or the volume control on my bluetooth headset, and finally I can hear the person talking to me.
That is a hassle--that when someone calls, at first I barely hear anything, don't even know who it is, or what they said, until I press the volume up rocker several times.
It seems like, regardless of system and ringer volume settings, that with an incoming call, the volume is initially set at a VERY low level.
Is there a way that can be fixed--registry tweak, etc.?
I may have come across a fix for this, but am not sure.
I did a search for the word "Volume" in the registry.
One key and value I came across was the following key:
HKLM\Services\HTCAP\SmartHandsetVolumeControl\Handset
I took the value InCallVolume, and changed the dword data to the number which I think represents max volume: 4294967295.
I think that has helped with the problem of the initial call volume on receieved calls being too low. I'm not sure yet though, as I have not received many calls since.
I see many different volume control values in the SmartHandsetVolumeControl key and its subkeys, and cannot say I understand them.
Is there someone reading who really understands what these different registry volume settings mean?
Today I checked voice mail. Therefore a call I placed to voice mail, not an incoming call. I wasn't using a bluetooth headset, but had the phone directly to my ear. I heard the voice mail recording way too softly, could hardly make it out. I pressed the up volume rocker, and it didn't make any difference, I could barely make out the voice mail. (By the way, this was after I made the change mentioned above.)
I think the HD2 has a lot of strange quirks regarding volume, and I think these registry keys may hold the key for dealing with them. If anyone reading really understands the HD2's volume registry keys, please help us to understand them.
Thank you.
PS
I found the following page:
http://www.techparaiso.com/windows-...t-phone-volume-levels-on-windows-phone-device
which describes volume registry settings in \HKCU\Control Panel
It is really confusing, all the different volume settings in the HD2 registry, some generic to WM 6.5, and others specific to HTC and the HD2.
If someone really understands how all these volume settings interact, it would be great if a guide to them were posted!
Thanks in advance.
I couldn't get this to work. Does anyone know how to change the call volume via the registry? My phone crashed when I try to do it via the hard buttons on this ROM.
I am having problems with the in-call volume of my Nexus 4. Say I have it at 4/5, it will remain at this for a while, however, it does not maintain this setting. When I answer a subsequent phone call, the in-call volume will have reset itself to 2/5. It is quite annoying answering a phone call, not hearing the person on the other side and then having to increase the volume again. I actually returned my 1st Nexus 4, however, this problem is now occurring on my replacement phone as well. Would anyone have any suggestions as to what might be causing this problem before I contact Google again. I have not made any adjustments to the OS of the Nexus 4. Thanks for any help!

I have Volume + installed from Google Play and it increases the volume considerably from the speaker, through bluetooth and headsets. If you try it go to settings/sounds/sound effects and choose Volume + instead of Music Fx. I`am using the paid version and it works great for me.

Thanks for your reply. Actual loudness of the phone is not a problem, when the highest in-call volume setting is maintained. However, the phone will randomly reset itself to the 2/5 setting. Over the weekend, I give the Volume + app a try. It has an individual setting for in-call volume, however, the problem still occurs. Do you think the problem is software related and therefore potentially could be rectified by the next major update to be released? I'am worried that I may have to try and return another phone to Google!
help!

Did you ever find the solution? I just got a Nexus 4 and have the same issue. I've been searching like crazy for a solution!

I forgot to say that even though is the same issue, in my case is the other way around. The volume resets to 5/5 even though I change it to 2/5 during a call. The 2/5 setting seems to last only some time but surely after a few hours, when I make or receive another phone call the volume has gone up to 5/5.
I have the same issue. The volume is always to the max. During the call I lower it, because it is too loud at the maximum, but during the next call, the volume is at maximum again. I tried several applications that adjust in-call volume, but it had no effect.

I believe we might have an application installed that's resetting the volume, would you mind sharing the applications you have via private message and then we can check which we have in common and go from there? If you agree I'll send you mine as well.
After several factory resets I finally found out what was the problem. Automatic Call Recorder has an option named Maximize recording volume (or something like that). When I turned off this, the problem was solved.
Hi all,
Does anyone else have this problem, using ZTE's Android 5.02, in which the caller's voice level is too low? I can barely hear a person's voice when I answer/call them. But they clearly hear me.
I've tried a few apps that boost volume, but none of them work.
All other things, ringtone, apps, media, music etc. - the volume is fine.
ZTE had an auto update yesterday, system update, completely fixed the volume for me! Everything is normal and working well now
I have problem with wifi, can't connect! (IP adress = 0.0.0.0) plzzz help!!!

What update are you talking about? I'm also having the "low volume" issue.
thanks
edit: tried the b10 update again and still low volume. So pls help
I have the same problem. The in-call volume gets turned way down for some reason when you answer/make a call.
i don't know why, possibly a bug?
when you next make/receive a call...once connected, take the phone away from your ear & look at it.
press the volume up button and you'll see its at about 25%.
pain in the arse

Hi, turn off the "Dual microphone" setting in the dialer app. This solves the problem.
