is there a way to boost in call volume - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

and/or mic sensitivity?
Any help is appreciated.

Um.....turn up volume while in call? The volume maxed is actually pretty friggen loud in my opinion. And that's being outside next to a fairly busy intersection with trucks rolling by constantly.

I agree that it is NOT very loud at max volume.

I didn't know there was a volume control. Smh..

Hahaha, wait, have you never had a phone with a volume rocker on the side?

I'm pretty sure that was the infamous sarcasm everyone's been talking about.
I agree though, I can barely hear anything through my in call speaker. Also my external could be louder IMHO. My OG was 10x louder.

Yeah, I was being sarcastic. My OG and 3D were both louder IMO.

Hey, you honestly never know around these neck of the woods. I've read some really far out there chit from other members. Dude in the og evo side was infamous for it.
Dunno what to say bout volume then. Mine is pretty loud in my opinion. And yeah its a little hard to hear with windows down on the highway but I attribute that to me leaving my exhaust cutout open. Maybe try hooking up an aux input?

I have tried everything... This phone has the lowest speaker volume of any phone I have ever had.... Hopeing a dev can figure out something.

You may be able to use qpst to do it. Try following the guide for the evo 3d. Should be basically the same method for any phone.

Yes it does, the lil hole is @ the top by the headphone jack.
Doesn't work worth a crap, though.

[Q] Evo 3D, worth it?

Is it worth upgrading to the EVO 3D from the EVO 4G? And we're getting root at some point right?

Yes, and eventually I'm sure we will (answers to both questions).
It's an impressive phone. It's noticeably faster than the 4G. It has a lot of bugs in the software right now.

E3D is very fast cuz the specs double, so I couldn't resist.

The camera button and slider drive me nuts......it doesn't feel good in hand like EVO 4G but i guess you get used to it. I think I hate the charger port/hdmi being on the side the MOST. I wish it was at the bottom, I get annoyed using it while on charger LOL. What puzzles me is the evo was "almost" perfect in design and I feel like they took a step backwards.

cant believe they moved the damn charger port. OG was near perfect. Miss it. Recommend waiting unless you just have to have 3D.

Definitely. They went backwards in design...all the **** they had right and just jacked it all up.
Honestly, if you have an evo I wouldn't even recommend it.......
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
Definitly worth the upgrade, the phone feels a lot well built...solid and the speed alone added with Sense 3.0 make it al that much better. For $50-75 this is hell of an upgrade...don't think just upgrade.
yes, yes, yes!!!!!!!!!!!
The build quality is quite good. I like the camera button. Charge port is fine on the side.
Sent from my 3vo using XDA Premium App.
Absolutely yes. Especially if you're one of those out there like myself who has sprint premier and gets a a new discounted phone this year as well. I traded in my Evo 4G for the Evo 3D and regardless of the 3D function the phone itself is leaps and bounds faster than my 4G. So basically for an extra $100 to unload your older 4G for a newer 3D if you're in that position with your contract then is a great deal.
Root will come.
The phone is definitely worth the upgrade. Compared to a stock 4g, the 3d is a lot snappier and I get better battery life. I do miss things like the kickstand and my seidio 3500mah battery. I really think that once development starts with this phone, it's going to be crazy. I don't think the design of the phone is better or worse than the original evo, but it is different. I always try to plug in my charger at the bottom because I'm so used to the 4g. Just takes some time to get used to.

Beats by dre problems

I have a set of beats (the tours). I was told by a guy at radio shack that they would work no problem with my new phone. I kinda figured they wouldn't, so I said I would return them if they didn't. Well I happen to like the sound and I don't want to return them, but half of the remote features don't work right. Play/pause works, but skip tracks dials last called number . Is there anyway to remap this in system? I'm rooted running charmeleon Rom.

Replace them for some sure SE215's and buy the CBL-M-K cable for it, problem solved.
Or go to Fry's they're selling the Klipsch s4A for 49.99 (50% off) right now, it's the android headset, only has one button, and mic, but they work.

Beats are horrible headphones. Any audiophile I know wouldn't be caught dead with those on. Hype + marketing = Bose/Beats/Monster/Apple.
High priced crap.

Eh, I honestly hate Bose almost as much as Apple. I'm a huge speaker guy, and they make some of the worst speakers in the world in terms of what you get for the price.
There's a somewhat famous write-up where this audiophile ripped a $1000 Bose set to pieces and reviewed the build quality, and did lots of sound tests that test for decimal levels at various frequencies throughout the spectrum. The results were both amusing and horrifying. They're a brand who uses marketing and advertising to sell products.
Similar to Apple, they make DECENT products, but they're highly over-hyped, and you can get far better for the money you spend. I'll link that article if I can find it. It is eye-opening.
Edit: Here it is - I'd recommend you sit down and take the time to read thoroughly when you can. Quite an interesting read! And this is full of sonic FACTS, not idiots opinions (although there's certainly some opinion in it).

Holy Crap, video and audio record really well

Seriously, I took this last night at my gig in Seattle. I was playing with a LOUD 15 piece Jazz Orchestra (Jazz Police) and recorded with the front facing camera. I'm really impressed with how it picked up everything. On the OG Evo, this would have sounded like, well, sh*t haha. Watch it on YouTube in HD if you want to hear the good quality audio/see the HD video
Dang getting your jazz on

Very good. If you tried this with an S3 you would have heard garbled noise. One of the reasons I chose this phone.
Did you start developing for Android because your sax playing was getting you too many chicks?
Nice groove, great playing and great recording.. I love the mic on this cell..picks up percussive sounds nicely, I get similar results recording guitar amps.. great job!

Video recording audio quality

This post might be kinda pointless, but am I out of my mind or does the evo lte have awesome quality recording compared to other phones or what? I've bounced between the Evo, a GS2 , a GS4, the One, and now back to this and none of them come close to the Evo , specifically I've noticed recording at concerts audio is very clear with very little crackle from speakers at all. Idk what kinda mic they put in this phone in particular but it should be in all phones lol.

I have noticed the awesome quality as well. Although I haven't had the chance to use any of the newer phones I.e. S4 or the HTC One

Haven't tried the SG4, but I can vouch for the HTC One to have great recording quality as well. I'm too with you on the same thought for our phone.
I didn't test the One out at a concert but outside it was a lot more cracking sounding than the Evo. Maybe something to do with that lawsuit where they were ordered to take the mics out or whatever, idk. It did have superior video quality tho of course haha.

I think its pretty awesome quality:good:
Yes! to OP and question about ONE as well.
Loved the sound quality when I recorded two a capella performances with the evo 4g lte. It wasn't quite as good as with a flip, but it was otherwise amazing.

I dont know the specifics but I thought I remember reading something around here when it came out last Summer about how the mics had to be taken out because someone else had the rights to them or something but they werent going to recall any of the phones that already had the superior ones in them. It was a smilar situation to how apple did what they did with the App association thing.
