[Q] N4 in call volume super low - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My in call volume is super low. It just happened suddenly. Yesterday I was talking with dozens of people without a problem.
Today, I can't hear anything above a whisper. I have changed every volume setting I can find and used various apps to increase volumes. None of them helped. I decided that maybe it has something to do with CyanogenMod, so I flashed back to stock. I even deleted all settings and set phone back to factory settings and this problem persists no mater what I do.
I'm thinking my phone is broke.
Any ideas I can try. I love my N4, but I can't make calls unless I use Bluetooth now.

Try the latest trinity kernel with mizleds audio mod. Night and day difference in sound. If that doesnt work then maybe getting a replacement would be in order.

anyone else have this problem? busy signal = no sound

well... so far i'm loving my tmobile mda after i've updated to the imate kjam rom (aku2) and of course readded some tmobile customizations and other tweaks..
anywho..
i noticed an alarming problem and wanted to see if others have had this problem or if its specific to my device and setup.
i tried calling a pal last night (he has a landline) and received a busy signal tone. After i hung up, i went back to watching my tv shows i have on a miniSD in Media Player 10 on my mda. The video played fine but the sound no longer played. Checked out TCPMP and same problem, no sound.
Then went into my system settings > Sound Notifications and again, no sound at all.
did a soft reset, sound is back. So i tried calling pal again to get the busy tones; got busy signal and again lost all sound.
So is this a WM5 bug or have i done something to mess up my busy signal tone? i have not done any sound related tweaks (before my last hard reset i did the microphone boost hacks but decided on not doing that this time around)
peace
I haven't had the busy=no sound but I have had the no sound after less than a day on standby--do a soft reset and it's back until who knows when--I have posted this issue but no one has responded yet in both this forum and another one--I have even googled the issue and still can't figure it out--This only started after I installed the latest ROM. Any one have an idea as to why this is happening? It's very annoying to have to reset my handset every day as well as not know when the sound will go out thus missing an important call. Much help would be VERY appreciated!!
BTW I have no 3rd part apps installed
I have the same problem
HELP !!!!!!
weard thing:
When I call to myself, (only to test the busytone) all sounds dropps after hung up. The only solution until now, to get it going are by a softreset,
BUT, if I do a call to another number after hung up, all sounds are back!!!
Without doing softreset!!!
So seamonkey420 could you try this and report?

Loud in-call volume

I've been noticing the following strange behavior:
Sometimes the in-call volume is just too loud. Even on the minimum volume setting someone standing a couple of meters away from you will still perfectly hear the conversation. This only happens when receiving a call, never (as far as I can tell) when making one.
If during the call I switch on and then off the speaker, then the volume goes back to what it should be.
Has anyone noticed this before? Workarounds?
Yes, I've noticed this.
Always does it when it has been connected to a headset.
I seem to remember it went away when I installed the Modoco rom...
Mine still does it with the Modaco rom
@squirreleater: Thanks for your reply. It is just as you say
@both: Do you know if the latest HTC firmware fixes this issue? I know, I know, but I can't find the time these days to upgrade and find for myself
I`m on the latest MCR and it still does it. Its really P*****G me off now. I hate to take a call because of it.. Surely more people than us 3 are seeing this?
Yup, same thing for me although I've never noticed a difference between receiving and making calls (will watch out for that now). Quietest setting is still ridiculously loud. I'm on MCR 2.6 but have noticed on other roms as well.
I've noticed this too, but seems as though when I press volume up, it starts working again and allows me to lower the volume.
I can confirm that your workaround is just fine. Thanks.
So if i press volume up then down it will go quieter?
I will try this next call i get...
I am getting this same problem ... thanks for the tip I will try it.
I just noticed this. but after having my hero for like over a month. Could have appeared when i installed like 3 games yesterday but cant see why games would cause that to happen. but yea the workaround of increasing then decreasing the volume works. and it only happens when i receive the call. strange...

The sound has gone...like completely

Hey everyone this is my first post so i apologise if this problem has been discussed at length already.
Ok so my current problem is that my htc hd2 wont make any sound whatsoever when using the rear speaker (so thats any ringing from incoming calls, notifications, videos, music etc..). I have played with the sound settings relentlessly but can't seem to change its current state and I have also done several hard resets. However, when accepting a phone call or when a pair of headphones are inserted into the handset the sound goes through fine, leading me to suspect that it is the rear speaker which is the problem (My speakerphone after accepting a call also doesnt work).
On two occasions I have been playing music on it in hopes for a sign of life and have had sound on very sharp bursts (no more then 2 seconds). In terms of any programs or updates that I have installed on to my handset I havent done anything but apply the updates from the HTC support website.
The problem ocurred on day 2 of using this handset and I have also sent an email to mobiles.co.uk to ask about a replacement handset. However I was having a lot of fun with this phone and wanted to keep it if it could be solved myself so if anybody has any ideas it would be very much appreciated!
Thanks
Try a hard reset. If the problem persists after that, it's certainly hardware related.
Same thing happened to my HD2 today, all sounds just stopped working for some reason, music player ring tone, notifications, everything, did a hard reset and everything works again, it is a bit worrying when it just happened out of the blue like that.

Did you accidentally turn the volume down using the button on the side of the device? Stupidly, system volume can be adjusted using this button.

Yes it can. It either changes both system and ringtone together (if you only use 1), or you have a tab for both (if you use both volumes), as per the sound and display settings in the settings tab.
No, that was the first thing that I checked, I have the single volume unchecked as well.

I find the single volume the better option, less chance of this kind of thing happening. Other than that, it sounds like you have either installed a tweak or combination of tweaks which are not compatible or you have a hardware fault.

[FIXED]Need some major assistance.

So I installed LVH(Louder Volume Hack) yesterday. I only selected the V2r2 option originally and everything was fine. This morning I made a phone call without any issues. Well I wanted to try the IC option to try and increase the in call volume. I selected IC2 but didnt take any calls or make any. Now just a couple min ago, I picked up my phone to make a call, there is no sound coming out of my earpiece. I went back into LVH and selected "stock" to get the stock settings back, still no sound. Im hoping someone can tell me what to do to fix this. Im worried it is screwed up.
EDIT: Now it is working out of the blue!! Wth. Had me freaked.

Phone won't make a sound in loud mode

I checked it a lot of times, even tested it, and now I've found the root of the problems. My phone does not make a sound in loud mode. It does not make a sound when the alarm goes off, only vibrating. It does not make a sound, only vibrating, when getting messages, e-mails etc. Even when I am being called, the phone just vibrates, but does not play the ringtone, but the phone is in loud mode :S I did not tweak around with the phone, it is on full stuck, i has been working for 1,5 months, it started doing this last week. However, the speaker is working, it's not a hardware related problem, it must be something with the stock software.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Did you download another volume control app, it could be interfering with the settings you put your phone at.
Also did you try a hard reset?

Yes, I did download an alarm app after I found out that the built in is not making any sound, therefore does not wake me up. I don't want to do a hard reset yet.

Make a back up and then do a hard reset, if it doesn't fix it then you can restore the backup.
