phone keypad sound volume....

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?

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

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

Ringer Volume Low On Max Setting

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.

Popping sounds on calls and low microphone issues

On calls I get popping sounds. a few times the pops have been so loud I almost dropped.
The microphone is also really low. people can't hear me I use to be able (Gnexus) to set the phone down and talk with it on the computer table next to me but now they can't hear me.

Standard 'is this a hardware problem?' test:
1. If you are on a custom ROM, flash completely back to stock and retest.
2. If you are already on stock, backup all your data and factory reset. Even better, completely wipe the phone and re-install stock and retest.
3. If the issue still occurs, the issue is most likely with the hardware. If the issue no longer occurs, then it was a software problem.
4. If I understand this reply correctly, you have already received a replacement device and the issue still occurs. In this case, you happen to be very unlucky.
As for the Nexus 4 in general, I can only speak anecdotally. I don't have the issue on the seven Nexus 4 devices I've tested: two of my own, three from coworkers/friends who also own the device, and two test devices.

Since the issue only happens during Skype calls and not while using the standard calling function, I would blame this issue on VOIP quality: either your latency is high, Skype is having quality issues, or some combination of the two. I have issues with Skype call quality on both my phone and my PC, and the issues are largely to do with Skype throttling the call bandwidth.

what about my mic issue the sounds very low. is there a way to change the gain on the microphone? I always use my phone by calling 1 of my friends I'm placing the phone beside my desk as I speak with them they can't hear me with this new phone they were able to perfectly hear me with the galaxy Nexus.

Help, my S4 Front Speaker stopped working properly

Hello XDA! My Galaxy S4 Front Speaker stopped working properly recently. All ROMS I've tried, it's still the same, even Stock. When I call, there is sound at first, then gone, but speakerphone works. I've tried clicking receiver in the Service Menu (*#0*#) and there is sound! I have sound in my front speaker during calls like normal, but is gone after I reboot and I have to do it again. Is there a permanent fix? Thanks in Advance!

I am not sure if this will help or not but if you have anything like Beats, Viper and DSP Manager installed
or flashed you must uninstall them. Also if you have any audio mods (audio louder flashable zips) you
need to remove/delete those kinds of mods as well.
If I were you I would also backup any audio apps I had which are sound/music related and then
uninstall them all except for the stock music player which comes with stock roms.
Then reboot into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache and reboot the phone and test your
phone and see if this solves your problem.
If worst comes to worse and it still has the issue then you will need to flash a 100% Stock ODIN flash
non-rooted rom which is the same model that came with your phone and test it again see if its working
properly.
If its still NOT working properly then its a hardware issue, hopefully your phone still under warranty.
If it is you need to return the phone and either ask for an exchange or repair.
Good luck!

try doing a full wipe then flash a stock rom

I went back to Full Stock with wipe.. it did the same thing.. I still need to go to Service Menu. Would anyone possibly know if the Google Play Edition ROMS have a service menu if i flashed that instead?

On the dialer dial "#0*# then click the "call" button (General Test Mode)
it will give you a lot of options including "speaker" testing.
Good luck!
It takes less time to click the THANKS button then typing "thank you"...

even for aosp based roms?

Speaker issue
Hello there, I'm also suffering with the same issue.
Did the Test with *#0*# and no sound coming from the speaker at all, only from the receiver on the top of the phone.

[Q] Problem with the speakerphone

Hello everybody. I need help regarding a serious issue I have. When I am in call and I activate the speaker phone the other party can barely hear me saying the sounds is really low. But when I tried recording a sound it has no problems whatsoever. I have no idea why this happens but its really annoying me. I would really appreciate if someone suggests me a solution on this one, cuz I couldn't find any by now.

Something is most likely blocking the top microphone of the phone.

Anyone please give me suggestion on what should I do, this is really annoying me..

Have you removed any cases etc. as mentioned above? If you have, to rule out any software complications flash a factory image.

Thing is when I use voice recorde, I hear it loud as f***, so there're no issues. Only when speaking and launching the loud speaker they say they hear me very low. And yes my display was broken and they replaced it, maybe they ****ed something, but since the Sound Record works well, where's the logic?

If there is a case it is possible that when you record sound, the device is recording through the bottom microphone which is not obstructed, and the top microphone you use during calls may be obstructed resulting in your issue.
Aside from that, maybe there is some sort of volume/speaker/microphone app that was installed that is messing with your mic levels during a call. I would still suggest to remove any 3rd party accessories and if the issue still occurs, than backup your data and flash the factory image.

Did you call the same person each time you were testing it?

No, tested with a lot of people with normal voice calls. Also tried Viber, Facebook calls - same stuff. My logic is this: since I am recording my voice with a voice program from miles away, that isn't possible to be the lower mic. So the speakerphone should work fine. But on calls its a different story, i tried without the speakerphone to speak away from the phone (mimicking as if it is a sound rec app) they hear me even worse. What could be the issue? I am confused

anyone...please answer guys, need desperately your help

help
yes same

People, we do need an answer please.

Keeping it recent, hopefully someone can help

answer?

Have you guys tried flashing the factory images?

No, but it hasn't anything to do with this. Tried several roms and kernels same results. I sent my phone for repair broken screen, after 1st delivery they even had the front camera not centered so i returned it back. Maybe the mic is broken? But if so, how come voice recording works well?
