Hey guys I tried searching for this topic in the forum but didnt find anything. On my note there are some times when the sound will come out through the earpiece instead of the back speaker. This happens randomly and the only way to fix it is to restart the phone then i get sound through back speaker again. Anyone have this issue? I'm running stock phone, the only thing i have ADW Ex. I dont have blue tooth enabled either.
Thanks for the help
There are at least two other threads about this ...in q&a I believe
Both our skyrocket and note behave this way:
When headphones in system notification is played on headphones and ext speaker
Ringtones are played over headphones only. We were using the video ringtone app though. Will test with system ringtones tonight
So far it seems to depend on what is playing the notification

Hi guys, I've had my Hero about a year now. The other day, all of a sudden my speaker seemed to stop working. I thought, oh great, it's a hardware bust. I then tried a call and the sound came out fine. That is the only sound working. Everything works with my earphones plugged in. Any advice?
Any ideas guys, I'm pretty desperate here -_-
It could be something wrong with your media volume? I know when you plug in headphones there is a different volume setting? Try a sound volume manager like audio manager .. there is different
Does the problem replicate itself on different roms. etc.. also what rom are you using.
sorry, I know this is basic
Thankyou for the reply man .
Unfortunately I know it is not down to a volume problem because also the ringer volume does not make any sounds.
I am currently on an ancient Floyo ROM as I haven't been able to flash over the last few months. I'm currently waiting for a Froyo Sense with working camera or a reasonably stable GingerBread ROM.
Did you test a handsfree calling? Try making a call and enabling mobile speaker (there should be an option pressing menu button while you are calling).
HTC Hero, as many mobile phones, has two different speakers, one in the back used to play music and loud sounds, and another one on the front to make calls. I think your back speaker is not working and that's why you can't hear anything except voice when you call.

Thankyou, I did not know there were two different speakers, although I suppose it makes sense when you think about it!
Tried what you said and my back speaker is definitely knackered - may have just persuaded myself to get a Z >_>
cheers
Morning all,
Love this phone, love love love. What I'm worried about though is the in call volume on headphones. Doesn't matter whether I'm using the supplied Samsung ones or a set of Sony ones the volume is so low that the person at the other end is in audible.
I have no problems with volume on anything else (as in music player on in call volume using the actual phone)
Anyone else experiencing this or am I just very unlucky.
I've noticed this too. When having earphones plugged in the call volume is just too low. Last night I had to plug mine out and xall again because I couldn't hear her properly. Good point

this is absolutely the worst news possible, because i make 99% of all my calls with my headset. you guys are saying it is not usable? most of my calls are on the freeway with loud raod noise.
Post on here somewhere secret codes for volume ++

Not sure about volume with the earpieces with mic that came with the sgs2 but my sony earphones volume was quite low during call. I get calls when I'm listening to music a lot.

this app seems to have fixed it for me give it a try it ups the headset volume over default levels.. works fine for my sgs ii
i think you may need to be rooted to use it but not sure
Does it have HAC mode? Setings > Call settings > HAC mode. I set that on my SGS to increase call volume.
+1 on the issue, will try the apk tmo

Same issue and trying the apk now

I would like to know about the "HAC" mode to, I wear hearing aids in both ears and it's important to me.

I wonder if this is connectd to another very frustrating problem I've just discovered. When I go out running, I normally have Spotify playing in the background and CardioTrainer occasionally prompting me with updates on how badly I'm doing. Worked fine on my old Galaxy S, now I can't hear the updates over the music because they are so quiet. I've tried fiddling with all the settings, and have also tried Endomondo and SportsTracker and they all seem to have the same problem. Anyone else tried this?

Hey champ, you said this was fixed in the latest update but I just got my galaxy last week from Vodafone Australia and mine has this issue. What update fixed yours and does anyone else know about any fixes?
Fixed? In which update?
Hey,
I have this problem on my (sim-less) SGS2, and no update is available.
Any version number?
i'm having the same problem too. i currently use the stock headset, and am thinking of getting a BT headset as i get calls while driving. tried the app, did not help.
can someone one please help? it will be even better if voodoo sound is developed for i9100. *fingers crossed*
yep. same problem here!
Noticed it as well - on headphones Senn PX 100 II - very annoying (have to plug out the phones each time)
Also noticed the volume problem. The overall voice call quality is not great either. Can someone confirm if the apk. fix helped and if it needs the root access?
Im not sure if any one else has this problem. I tried to search the forum to get a solution. But cudnt find any. I was using cm9 stable build last week and faced this weird problem that while listenin to music in car, my phone didnt play the ringtone when someone was calling me. Had the phone placed on the other seat and later saw that i had 5missed calls and my phone didnt pause the music to play the ringtone and it only vibrated. Tried using stock earphones. Still the same. The phone was only vibrating even though the sound wasnt selected to be off. Can anyone help?

Alrighty. I searched around and found this question asked a few times around the net, but never answered. Same question is also asked over in the Sprint note2 q&a with no replies...
The question is this..
How the heck do you disable the automatic reduction in volume when plugging something in the 3.5mm jack?
I switch between by car's cd player and a line-in cable to use streaming audio through my phone a lot and am incredibly annoyed with having to turn my phone's volume back up when i plug in the cable. I also dont like being chided like a 10 year old with the "don't listen to loud music" message each time i turn the volume back up... i don't need a nanny. i just want to listen to my music without having to keep fiddling with volume settings.
Anyone know where this "feature" is and how to disable it?

Good question. I was wondering the same thing, as well as how to turn off the "soft ring" or whatever it's called where the ringer starts low when you're receiving a call and after a second or two goes to regular volume.
I've looked in the sound settings and in accessibility but can't find any options for those things.
i seem to be having the opposite problem ...
the volume is loud as hell even on the low setting.
maybe its just me ?

Some custom ROMs have it removed...if you are stock or the ROM you are running doesn't have it removed you can install this app in the market to stop it from happening:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...S5zaHVtb2FwcC5kaXNhYmxlaW5jcmVhc2luZ3JpbmciXQ..
It's free. It runs in the background but I've never seen it consume any battery. All you have to do is open the app and it stops the increasing ring from then on. Make sure and follow the instructions if you don't want the persistent notification. I turned it off and the app has never been killed.
Honestly, that increasing ring was irritating, but i never thought about fixing it... i installed that app and we'll see how its works.
Now if we can just get rid of that stupid volume reduction i'll be set!
<- rooted stock

Well... I just flashed to beans rom 7.... And the silly volume reduction is still there...
Anyone have any other ideas on wherr this "feature" is hidden so i can excise it like a malignant tumor?

I use my phone to connect to my cars bluetooth. I've had since the phone since July and it sounded really good up until about three days ago. For some reason the audio lowered and doesn't sound as crisp as it used to. I know it is not the car stereo because my other devices still play perfectly. I have to turn my radio up to the point where the music will sound distorted.
Example = s4 on bluetooth turned to 25 - sounds great
s4 on bluetooth now turned to 25 - can barely hear it.
Is there a setting or even an equalizer that I can use to maybe fix this issue? Also is there any setting in the phone ( running stock ) that I might've pressed that decreased my volume?
Look into a custom rom, I know Hyperdrive has a volume hack slight/loud which works for me. Hopefully someone has an easier way to accomplish this.
Unfortunately I can't root this phone because it was given to me for work purposes.
Sometimes I have this problem, idk how busy you are, but hangouts will sometimes lower volume for me to make a notification sound and forget to put it back, try making your phone give you a notification sound and see if puts it back
