I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this and I searched for solutions but I'm running stock Npn25-137-33 (no update in US yet), and I'm still annoyed that the in call volume is so low. I'm not rooted yet and I'm pretty sure there is no solution to boost volume for calls but if I root and keep stock, can I change the build.prop or another file to boost volume for calls? I'm not going to run a custom rom yet. Thanks for any help you can give.
Here's a solution. Put call on speaker phone and crank the volume down. Since everything comes out the same speaker it should be louder but not loud enough where it will be heard all around you
Thank you. I figured I could do that but was hoping for a permanent work around.

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...
Hi friends.
Two quick questions:
1. How can I decrease the volume when I receive phone calls? Yesterday I was on the phone, volume ALL DOWN yet people could hear what the other party was saying.
2. Every now and then when someone calls me, I either don't hear anything and he has to call back or else the conversation is a pain as sound keeps on cutting.
Are there any fixes for these?
Cheers.
1) known problem, no solution. The problem is HD2 thinks the volume is lower then it is, and that is why it won't let you lower the volume anymore. If you turn the volume all way up first, you will be able to lower it.
2) never happened to me.
Thanks mate, hopefully someone can help with #2.
I fixed #2.
Basically 3G reception is a pain in my area so I set the phone to always use GPRS and everything is now working like a charm.
Hi,
I am about to get myself an HD2 in the next few days. I wanted to ask you to tell me how do you find the in-call volume of the device. I have a hearing problem so i need a loud device.
Thank you

mine is a tmous branded version.
to be honest, it isn't the loudest device i have had. when making a call i often find myself trying to turn it up more often than not. it is as though the sound isn't concentrated and seems a little more spread out, if that makes more sense. but when i put to max (not needed for every call) i can hear without any problem...and it doesn't sound distorted.
hope that helps.
cheers.
First of all:
Thank you for your great work and to BE.
I solved and forgot to throw my smartphone out the window thank to you.
Second:
i just installed on my tatto the: CyanogenMod 7.0.0-RC2.2 (7007) 2.3.3
and it's really great.. everything works fine and i can't imagine someday i would use a 2.3.3 on my htc tattoo..
but there is somenthing that doesn't work well for me:
the incoming audio is really really low...
in my settings i set the audio level at the top but is still to low..
is that an issue somebody else found? is there a way to solve it?
i already searched in the forum but i didn't find anything..
thank you for you attention

On that rom is inclided DSP Equalizer, you can look it up and set your sound.
Or, you can try Louder volume hack.
Hope it helps.
i already tried but that is not affecting speaker volume in any way.
i tried also the audiohack 1.4 but nothing...
i need the voice speaker for the incoming calls louder..
nothing works for me...
is there a way to manually change the audio code to improve the volume of the incoming call?
I googled and searched the forum, most saying the in-call volume is too loud and so forth.
But I am getting the other end, where the other side can't hear me much unless my lips are literally next to the microphone or shout it out loud.
Done many tests and confirmed that my previous TYTUNG ROM was better, but then it freezes my phone with incoming calls sometimes... I have had a few updates through Dorimanx and quite happy except this low mic volume issue.
Does anyone have a clue on this? I would like to seek for solutions better flashing out another ROM like crazy. Thanks!

Do you have speaker phone enabled ? if not , thats your problem . when using the earpiece for a call the microphone levels are set as if you are holding the device right up to your ear and the microphone is right next to your mouth . as a normal phone would work . try enabling speaker phone and see if that does anything .
If not you could try this http://code.google.com/p/custom-android-sciphone-n19/wiki/MicGain are phones (well mine at least) doesnt have this file but at the same time if you add this file and reboot it may use it . just be sure to backup everything using recovery backup . just in case .
You can use HD2 Mic Control on the Maket.
Or flash Tytung kernel
