Anyone else's In call volume very low? even though its on maximum volume? I cant seem to hear very well unless I put the phone on loudspeaker. any ideas on this one?
cheers
Yup. I am on .14 and it is awful. I hear the .16 update fixes it though. There are so many good things about this phone that I couldnt care less about this issue though at the moment.
Nope. I have .16 and it's just as bad.

Cheers mate, I was just about to follow the debranding tutorial to update to 1.6 to improve my In- Call volume.
I have also heard that 1.6 offers an improvement in this area.

I'm actually thinking of unbranding my phone just because I can. But it's just to get rid of like one or two pre-installed programs.
i am on firmware 1.6 and it doesnt solve anything, its really really bad! the volume is ridiculous I can hardly hear anyone unless I go into a room where theres no noise at all! SE need to fix this
volume at max is not even iphone at half
Volume is terrible, i keep squeezing the phone into my ear.... what i don't understand is who ever listened to the phone and said ooooh this is good, how is he not FIRED
if this phone ever gets released in the US with the same problem i am complaining to the FCC. it seems someone to do something about it, (remember what happened to Toyota?)
I honestly dont think a firmware can increase/fix the volume issue, i honetly think the speaker is at its limits, i even hear distortion some times, telling me my volume way to loud for the speaker capacity, although i can BARLEY hear something.
Terrible
Yea, I cant say that the volume is loud, but I found out a solution that works for me.
Actually the screen seems to pick up the vibrations from the speaker, so if you instead of holding your ear against the speaker move your ear slightly down so that you actually have your ear on the top part of the screen instead... then the volume is much better!!
Just a tip.
And for SE: I noticed that only the higher pitched frequencies causes distort in the small speaker. Analyze the speaker and identify which frequencies that causes distortion and filter those frequencies out. Sacrifice those frequencies for a louder volume!
Regards // R
I read somewhere that they put the phone in test mode and forced the volume higher and worked.
Which would mean the hardware is capable of higher volume its just bad software.
This issue bugs me big time, and I'm quite dissapointed :-/
Any news on SonyEricsson solving this issue?
I've read that the X10 mini does have a much better loudspeaker. How can this be when it's an even smaller phone?
I strongly(!) hope that SE will fix it! A phone that is useless for phone calls? Than I can buy an iPod touch :-(
there is a 'volume hack' app but works only for rooted devices.
same problem..can hardly hear when on the street or in public place.
i enable speaker..and keep the loudspeaker near my ear.

Personaly I don't think that this is the way you have to make calls with a top of the line smartphone ;-)
Does anybody know if Sonyericsson is aware of this low volume issue?
Do they want to adress this issue with a soft- or hardwarefix?
Hopefully the update will come soon

X10 = lots of problem + lack of hope and many anger users around the world
Yes there are many problems with X10, i think X10 problems will be solved soon after the update 2.1 let us hope for the best

Actually, the number of problems is far, far, far, far, faaaaaaar less than you think it is. Being on a board for people needing technical support for their phones will make you think there's a lot more anger and problems than there really are. It's the nature of the internet.
Think about it, if there were really that many shopstopping problems, the phone would have gone through a recall by now. You can't let this forum (or any other tech support forum) give you any sort of indication of percentage of users with problems.
Same problem here... German o2 X10i (R2BA026). Speaker volume set to max. but still can't hear the other side It's a shame...
EDIT: oops... have to change my Avatar and Signature Hihi

Are you on XWKE2?
Its driving me nuts seeing this topic repeatedly posted with no real answer if all owners experience it, or if the volume codes fix the issue.
I have the same volume issues with headphones connected and answering calls... can barely hear anything while on subway etc...
Hopefully the voodoo sound feature will be ported to SGS II soon...

I'm on KE1
yes, anytime I am in a mall or anywhere will back ground wind... it is very hard to hear the other person....
on a side not, kies keeps telling me there is an update available... each time I run it, I get some dll error... hence me browsing the forums right now!
Is this a third firmware update?
I have the same issue. Can't hear anything with headphones and without them the sound is very muffled, as if there is no treble. My N95 could go so loud that it hurt!
I'm on XWKE2. Any suggestions?

Hi, this is my first post. I have similar issue. I have no problem in a room with low noise but when I'm outside or in a noisy room I barely hear the voice.
if the problem only with headphones then try using Voodoo Louder from the android market. that worked for me. i never had any problem with the headset volume on my sgs2.

Solution found
My phone is unlocked[T- mobile galaxy s 2], I Have tried every GSM carrier[att pre paid, t- mobile pre paid,h20, Simple mobile, Real att, real t- mobile. (by real I mean contract) , Thought was network issues. It wasn't. Well, I gave up. Called Samsung and shipped my phone for repair. They were quick. from shipment to repair took less than own week and half. UPS second day ship and UPS second receive that four days plus three days repair. Well, the issue is gone!. They fixed the problem. What they did was raise all the sound volume Bars by default to 100 percent. I can tell this by going via volume settings. Now I'm scared of trying Any Rom coz I don't want to lose this settings. My phone was shipped back with original stock rom. Unrooted. Just rooted back. that's how far I'm willing to go , But then again ICS rom is spitting distance based on the news on my hears. don't know what to do. I hope Samsung can Distribute THIS ics ROM . with default volume up. Or hope xda can send a memo to their rom agents to default volume up. Its 20 million users out there in the galaxy two world. Crying for help. with this particular problem. Yes it's not hardware problem . its software problem. Proven.

i need a loud speaker replacement part and EVERY site i've searched doesn't have it or is out of stock.
How can I route Call sound to phone speaker on cm7 without using any Paid apps.
My phones mic doesn't work and no mechanics were able to fix it. No HTC care or something is present in my city.
I am able to use my phone with headphone mic. Now I want to fix the problem headphone mic to my phone but only problem is I need the sounds to come out of the phone speaker/sbox.
Basically :
My phone need to do this:
Headphone mic for voice input.
BUT outputs call sound through phone speaker or sound box.
I only need it during phone calls but all time is okay too.
I'm rooted, s off on cm7.2 drowning child's kernel, on the Intruder(At&t)
Version of the now low end phone HTC Aria.
It has a room choice of cyanogenmod 6 and 7.2 official, cm9,10 custom ported. Have good knowledge of android but NO developer. Ready to do every thing except bricking my phone to achieve this.
How can I achieve this?
(I should have posted this on my devices forum but there's almost no one there except one or two kind hearted porters, so I am posting this as general android question)

So you are saying your internal microphone is broken, and you want to use an external mic but also use the internal speaker. Did you try using speakerphone at a low volume, maybe that would work for you.

Great idea, using tasker to auto mate the process and works like a charm. Thanks man, it is a bit awkward though but a blind dog is better than no dog.

Hi, everyone!
I'm G850F owner, and I have quiet noise/hissing in top speaker during calls. It's there all the time GSM is working, including tones before pickup.
It sounds like old radio receiver between stations. Doesn't disturb phone calls, however it's still very annoying. Not everyone hears it.
It's constant volume level, independent of call volume, so it's best heard when volume is at minimum and between dial tones. Same sim-card sounds ok in other phones.
I've heard about "Comfort noise" thing, but not sure that is it: I've tried 10+ different phones and smartphones, and only 1 old Nokia sounded like that. And it's not comforting at all
I've even went to shop and they gave me another device to test - same result. Device was from same batch as mine, however.
So... the question is: do you hear it, how is it comparing to other devices, and do you have some more information?
P.S. When recording call and then listen to recording using same speaker - no noise. So it's either interference from GSM module to speaker, or I don't know what ) Maybe it's software? Then there should be a way to remove/lower it.

Hmmm i do not know what it is. But just FYI I have come across a few threads about this issue for the Alpha on a Swedish Android forum (Swedroid) . A couple of people there are having this issue. So far I have not seen any solution.
Interesting! Just got mine and I have the same problem. So it's just us or everyone has that problem? When I use the earphones it gets a whole better! Is it common or I should return mine asap?
Common unfortunately. I've got used to it ) Not all people hear it at all.

That's a pity coz I was almost sure that I got the perfect phone except from that apparently! that sound of a frying pan drives me nuts! Anyway since everyone has the same issue and I don't have a faulty one I can get used to it! Thanks a lot for replying!
