I could notice the ear piece volume or in-call volume of my phone is very low. I don't think issue with speaker phone volume, not when using head set.
In-call volume is set to maximum and still vary feeble
is this issue related to updating the radio ???
I tried checking the forum and not much help found ?
is this hardware issue ?

I dont think it is because of that.. the design is smart with led amber light behind the grill still visible to tell it is not closed with dust ??
i guess it is something to do with radio or kernal
Is your phone rooted? If so what rom? If not, there shouldn't be a problem. Hand it in for replacement is the last suggestion if you still have warranty.

yes it is rooted..
i was using stock rom for a year then rooted and put CM7.1 stable to find that GPS was not working.
got the new Radio_47.39.35.09_7.13.35.05 flashed as GPS was not working.. which fixed the gps
nw running CM7.2 RC0 KANG
but not sure whether it is because of that radio update !!
Most likely is the radio you flashed since I have no problems. But I'm not entirely sure ==

Look for a file called "Sense4.0_InCall_Vol_Fix.zip"

^^^ So all your audio is very low, just not your call volume? Media volume is pretty low on the 3d, but my phone volume was VERY low after flashing ICE. After doing the in_call.zip fix, my media volume is still low, but my phone volume is back to what it was under 2.3*.
Maybe a thread title change?

FWIW, I'm using Newts RC3. If you haven't given his ROM a shot, might be worth a try. It could still be a bit louder, but it went from unusable to workable.

change rom
I would try a different rom, mean rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1466362
is an awsome rom and use chads kernal qualcom 1a will allow you to use beats which can help get youur media volume higher and cleaner. But watch your speaker like always if you think its pushing to hard it probly is.
Is there a setting in your rom to boost the volume? My old desire had that.
weird. i have leedroid on mine and it's perfect.
my mate got an evo 3d, i s-off'ed it etc and restored my nandroid and deleted what he didn't want etc....and his is nearly silent. Brand new phone so i doubt it's a blown speaker. Very odd.
On venom, can't really test.
Yeah I grabbed it and there is no head phone buzz like there used to be on my phone very pleased with it.

I would say it's something wrong with your phone then. I use my music every day on the way to work on the bus and I haven't had any buzzing since taking the ota. I'm on complete stock never unlocked or rooted. I like this phone the way it is so I'm leaving it be. But the ota fixed it for me.

Please realize not all electronics are dependable out of the box. Nothing mass produced is. If you are having issues i would advise taking your handset back to the store and having it replaced. It's not supposed to "Buzz"

I'm on my second one and I've tried a few different ear buds. Still lots of static at low volumes. I haven't flashed the new update yet though I'm waiting on the next Viper beta with the ota merged in to see if it fixes it. Its on Verizon's change log so it must not be very rare. I don't get this static on ANYTHING else but my DNA.

A friend gave me this till I get a new phone but the microphone doesn't work at all he said he replaced it and it still doesn't work. Is there any other reason the mic wouldn't work or maybe he did it wrong, I was thinking of buying the mic its only $7. Also the back cover is broken

If physical damage/impact, rather than a firmware change, caused the mic failure, you have a hardware problem.

Thanks, but which hardware part is problematic? the mic itself, or something else somewhere deeper in the phone?
Because the mic hardware part can be replaced with a new one, but if its something depper inside the phone's motherboard than its harder to fix it.

Correct me if I am wrong, but it is my understanding that the 'loudspeaker' is made up of both the top and bottom speakers for stereo? What I am implying is that while using the loudspeaker for music/YouTube, the speaker at the top of the handset has a weaker sound that the one at bottom. It does not carry as much bass and is noticeably quieter.
This seems odd because i dont have this issue

Ok I have received a replacement Z2 today and it has exactly the same issue. When playing music/videos/games, the speaker at the top is noticeably quieter and provides a lower quality sound.
Maybe this is a software problem? The two devices I have had are on 17.1.A.2.55 but I have seen in the General section there is a newer firmware than this.
Can @LotoTutu @Envious_Data and @Alex Charles confirm what version your're using? Thanks!

im on 17.1.A.2.55 too, i dont have any issues, the only issue i have ran into with my XZ2 is a random lag ever so often, but this only occours when i have 3 or more apps open,
(I Believe this is a RNGD/Entropy)
Misc info
i believe then new firmware is 17.1.A.69 which contains some minor bug fixes and stuff, im not sure about the details of it realy so i cant tell much realy
the Speaker issue we have here i cant tell if its a Firmware or Hardware, i kinda need to test some more,
ill be getting a second XZ2 so ill be able to test weather this is a HW or a Firmware issue unless someone else can conform

i tried this link and my bell unit has the same issue. it is not drastic, but there is a slight difference in volume with the bottom speaker being louder. i noticed this today when listening to a podcast when i accidentally covered the bottom speaker and noticed that the sound dropped quite a bit. the difference was not as noticeable with this link though. i am on the .55 firmware, can anyone with .69 confirm that their unit works differently?
My E970 (AT&T Optimus G) is on stock Android version 4.1.2 (Build Number: JZO54K and Software Version: E97020j). Everything was working fine but today morning I'm getting very low in-call volume.
Speaker volume is fine but when I get call I'm not able to hear other person voice clearly. All volume indicator are set to high.
What could have caused this low in-call volume issue all of sudden? Any way to troubleshoot?
Thanks!
