So I had a custom ROM and I went back to a stock ROM. The reason for that is because the speaker volume was low while I was on call and I wanted to go back to a stock ROM, but just to root it. (Sometimes the speaker was fine)
I have an I9505 (I9505XXUEMK9) and I am on EE (UK).
I9505XXUGNI2 < from Sammobile
That is the ROM I have flashed currently, and I called someone and it is still low.
Is there any fix? I have sound when roaming around the phone and that outputs just fine. It is literally just in call.
EDIT: It is louder on the rear of the phone, but not loud enough so I can use the earpiece on the front.

Hi,
I have unusual problem with my motorola defy earpiece (or at least i think it's that). Bought it used, so don't know how it was before...
During calls the volume of earpiece speaker is very low, practically unusable unless you are using phone in completely silent environment. The weird thing is tho, when i turn the phone around and listen closely on the back side the volume is actually a bit higher - seems like in call sound is coming from big phone speaker on the back, just very silenty... When turned to loudspeaker mode during call - everything works as intended, i can hear loud voice on phone's back speaker. I know that people are having problems with defy's earpiece not working at all, but it's not like that for me. It actually seems that both speakers (earpiece and main speaker) are working during calls just on very low volume. No luck searching for help on internet, doesn't seem that anyone had this happen... Problem egsisted with stock ROM, so i installed CM 7.2 - nothing changed. Volume buttons work, but even max volume is just too low. Wonder if that could be software problem or the hardware is somehow ruined? Any ideas? Don't know where to turn - i'm intending to take phone apart and see what's going on in there, no previous experience so please stop me
I just got my defy today and have exactly the same problem. I flashed cm 7.2
Hi! I am currently running Wanamlite v3.4 (GT-i9500) and just a bit of curiosity I tried entering the Test/Service Menu. All of the tabs are working, then I noticed that nothing happens when I press Speaker, but when I try pressing the Speaker (R), a loud music plays. From my understanding, S4, both international versions have only 1 Loud Speaker. I can still hear the ringtones whenever someone calls or texts me, notifications and also perfectly functioning for both video and music playback, so that means the loud speaker works fine. Then I have read in another thread that S4 has 2 speakers, left and right, and the Speaker tab corresponds with the Left Speaker? It is quite confusing.
Hope someone can enlighten me on this. I hate bringing this to a Samsung Service Center.
Many thanks!
Low earpiece volume could just be a bad earpiece speaker.
For nearly a year right after flashing a rom I noticed that my earpiece volume is extremely low to the point where I couldn't hear certain callers on the other side. Since I noticed the issue after flashing a rom, I assumed that it was a software issue.
After getting time, I decided to finally flash Lineage OS even though it kills many of our phone features. I wanted a phone that I could make calls from. After the flash, nothing. Sound was still low. @i95swervin added LS997 support to alpha rom. I downloaded it and still had the same problem. I continued to search and only one single person had a problem while others said that the volume is fine. I then decided to try replacing the earpiece. At under $10 shipped, it wouldn't hurt.
That was the issue as it is now loud again. It is an extremely easy problem to fix with a single small phillips screwdriver.
Can anyone help me with the low sound on earpiece speaker on stock rom and with stock recovery.
Please help
I am from India. I was facing the same problem. The ear piece volume was generally low for all the calls and it was even inaudible for calls from certain numbers. It was kind of freaky experience for me. I took it to the service centre. They did 2 things. They flashed the software afresh and removed the grill covering the ear piece. Now the incall sound quality is absolutely fantastic. I suggest you to try the same

I am also facing the same problem on jio, i cant hear the voice without earphones but the quality of whatsapp calls are fine. I think the earpiece itself is fine and their is a software problem. is there any workaround ?
Hey, so I had this earpiece issue. I couldn't hear anything during call, nothing. I thought it was a Pie issue but after resetting and doing SMMI test I confirmed a hardware problem.
Went to authorised service center and they took it no questions and replaced a new LCD and battery in 4 hrs. They say earpiece is connected with screen and battery also with screen, so yeah, I got lucky.
Get it checked, I think moisture entering the earpiece can ruin it.

Can u guv ur numbr?
From my experience i suggest Stock Rom Mod in this rom the earpiece volume is increased and it absolutely fantastic . I tried all pie & Q roms only the Stock Rom Mod has volume increased.
1. Flash Stock Rom Mod
2. Flash Magisk Manager
3. Use Es Explorer and grant root permission and RW permission
4. Device/vendor/etc/mixer path.xml
5. Change RX1 DIGITAL VOLUME FROM 90 to 95
6. Save and Reboot.
This rom only solved the irritating low in-call volume problem.

You can increase the earpiece gain using any custom kernel and kernel manager in any custom rom.
Hello, i have a galaxy n900v, the problem with my phone is that my external speaker died and i couldnt hear it ringing. So i had it rooted and installed "Aspire S9 Rom v10 PX2" custom rom and somehow managed to use a sound mod to allow all sounds to be output from the front speaker. It worked for a about a month, and i could listen to all my voicenotes, music and calls through the front facing speaker. It also worked well when i pluged in my headset. However, as of a week ago it started to stop working, i mean, no sound whatsoever. I couldnt even hear anything through the front speaker, no calls, no voices, no music, nothing even when the headphone was connected it didnt shoe the headset connected icon. So i tried to revert back to the stock rom thinking it would work cos i had only calls on my stock rom. However, the stock rom cant detect the headphone and i cant hear anything when i make calls. I dont know if the previous mod blew my front speaker. I did some googling around and i cant find a solution that fixes my phone. Please help
