Hi,
I'm pretty happy with my Nexus 4, but one thing is strange: the call volume is way too high! I have to put my phone away from my ear not to hurt myself, same goes with headphones!
Anyone else with the same problem? Tipps?
Thanks!
I find that too.. it's piercing my ear. Just lower the volume!

I was wondering if anyone had found a way to lower the volume on the speaker phone so that you could use it as the ear piece instead of the one on the front? I am wondering because I hate getting the screen all dirty when I use the regular ear piece and I thought since the mic is on the bottom you could just use the speaker on the back and not mess up the screen. However, when I have tried this the sound is way too loud to have next to my ear. I have searched for a way to lower this volume to a decent level, but found nothing. The other hard part is that I also want to be able to turn the speaker back up when I want to use it as a real speaker phone so I don't want to just lower the overall volume through the speaker. Does anyone know of a way to get more range out of the speaker volume so I can do this? Are there any hacks, tips, or programs that will do this? Any help would be much appreciated!

Using NueAudio, you can configure each part, speaker included. I am sure you can lower the speaker to almost nothing and it should work as a regular earpiece.
I just received a used Nexus One I purchased and the call volume is insanely low. Of course I was unable to try it out before buying but got a great deal on it. Maybe this is why. I was just wondering what I could do, are there any hacks to increase volume, or should I check on warranty status maybe. It is so low, if there is any background noise I can't hear the other person at all. I work in a construction trade so volume isn't something I can sacrifice. Thanks for your input.

flash a kernel with the audio hack. if you ask me, the stock call volume is horrible.
I thought this at first too, but I realized I was positioning the phone way too high on my head. The speaker is a the very top edge of the phone, try moving the phone up and down your ear during a call to find the correct spot.
The low speaker volume is driving me crazy. Anyone have a mod to increase the volume? Thanks.

While powered on and on your home screen (or any other screen), press and hold the 'volume up' rocker, otherwise known as volume+.
But seriously, it's HTC specific. Their speakers aren't very good for speakerphone. Just the nature of the beast.
I have found that if you put the phone face up on a flat surface, like a tabletop or something similar, it helps that weak little speaker by reflecting some sound onto and off the surface. It works for me. In contrast, the EVO, another HTC product has a much better and louder speaker, go figure. It's a shame that HTC chose this crappy tiny and tinny sounding speaker for the MT4G. Alternately, when I'm in a group listening to speaker-phone, I just take my BlueAnt S4 out of the car and place it on the table, where everyone can hear just fine through that Bluetooth device. If you do a lot of speaker-phone meetings, it may be worth getting one for yourself.
Just wondering if anyone can confirm the ear speaker volume on the Atrix. It seems lower than most. The exterior speaker is awesome and produces great sound, but speaking on my Atrix the first time yesterday the volume seemed low, both ringing in the ear speaker and the caller. I am trying to determine whether or not there is a defection so if someone could let me know if it's just lower than most phones or they suspect there is a problem i would appreciate it.
From Day one i have been trying to get good earphones with Mic for nexus 4
tested out more than 6-7 quality earphones with mic like J6M, Klipsh, etc
but the microphone volume on the other end of call is too less compared to apple ear phones( recently switched from iphone)
I have to keep the mic piece really close to my mouth for a good conversation...
can someone help me here.. the mic on nexus 4 works perfect but when i connect earphones the problem begins... i used mic sensitivity apps to test and they pick very less volume from the connected mic
How do i boost the mic sensitivity on earphones or should i return the phone
Will try with my skullcandy's and revert

I'm having the exact same problem - did you find a fix?
I tried quite a few.. expensive as well as cheap ones. finally i got hold of a cheap ear phone set and the volume to the other end is good to be heard (as I have been reported).. While trying them all, I was calling my friend and asking him.. so thats how I know i picked the best one. However, since it extremely loud.. i kinda have to keep it away from my ear a bit and volume on phone is turned down to minimum.. Plus, due to its sheer loudness, I can hear the buzzing sound.. For the first time i noticed it, i.e.: through these extreme loud ear phones. The other party hears it too. Never heard it while on call directly using the ear piece. Strange.

Do you mind me asking which brand headphones you are referring too here? I have the same issue.
I bought from a local shop. It was a knock off of beats audio. The sounds it throws is EXTREMELY loud.
Is it just me, or does the OP make very little sense? I'm completely lost at what he's trying to ask.. Something about the mic? or the sound output of the "earbuds"?
No trouble here with any of the wired earbud sets I've tried. Clear as a bell and no buzzing.
If its so Loud for you, what are you not adjusting the volume? Would kinda of make sense to do so...
Or you could upgrade in your tech and get a bluetooth earbud.. I have absolutely no problem with volume levels from my Jawbone; I'm hear clearly and I can hear them just find (even when driving with all windows down, it sounds like they are right next to me yelling)

Nope, it's you. OP was referring to the mic volume on the headset being low, but in filthykids response, he mentioned that the headphones that solved the quiet mic is also very loud on the earpieces.
Also having the same problem, BTW.
