Hi guys,
First of all I am not talking about main speaker which you listen music, this one is working great. I am talking about the one you listen when you talk.
So that speaker on my Evo 3d is on very low volume when speaking to someone. I can barely hear other people even though I maxed out volume using side buttons. Now if it's very quiet around, I can hear normally, but otherwise it's very hard to hear.
Any ideas what it may be? Is it possible for some reason this mic broke? Maybe there are any mic booster apps or something like that?
Cheers
Flashed another radio ROM and still very very low and unclear volume on speaker even on maxed. Any ideas what it may be?

I think it's a hardware problem. As time passes, dust, sweat and all kinds of filth go through the little protecting net making your speaker membrane unable to move as it should.

So what are the options? I need to bring phone to service? :crying:
Unfortunately, yes. But do one thing first - flash sense ROM and see if the sound is better. Your sig says you're on CM 10, they have a bug similar to your problem.

Yes I noticed this as well. For evo we used DSP manager but im not 100% if we can transfer it over without root, but idk. There are a few apps in the market you could try...
Thanks i don't feel like trying out every app in the market either if someone knows of 1 that does work or have to wait on root but really the media sound is very low when on full.

I just checked the market and it seems we are gonna have to wait for root for any volume hacks to work. But its good the issue has been addressed!
Same here, i noticed that the volume in other apps such as tango and qik video are low too.
Well ill hope when we get root that a rom has a sound hack to boost it.
I tired the 2 on the market they did nothing.HTC really dropped the ball on the sound of the media because i mean they made a 3d phone and to watch movies on it and such and made the sound so low ugggh
It's low for sure.
Anyone else either think all media stuff netflix.youtube etc volume even when maxed is way to low?
And has anyone found any type of fix? if not i guess we wait till root.But man HTC really could have gave a little more volume.
Where's that option I saw in one of the reviews, the setting for SRS?? I'm actually trying to find that review now. hMMm
*Edit* I think you need the headphones for that but still...where is the setting?
Ive been looking but not able to find it but this thing is low even when full so something will need to be done.

I think the SRS is only available when using the default HTC player. When you start up a video you have saved on your device/sd it will have the icon for SRS on the bottom left corner. You touch that to toggle SRS off or on. It does increase the volume to turn it off, but not very much.
Also, even with the EVO4G, I tried every app I could find on the market, and only ever found 1 that increased the volume, and it did so very insubstantially; almost not even a noticeable difference. DSP Manager is the only thing I've seen that actually worked. Root is required, and not sure that it would work on the E3D regardless.
We'll just have to wait it seems.
Important and accurate thread. Any chance this could be fixed via a firmware update from HTC?
And i know this is a little off topic but isn't Android sort of SUPPOSED to be open-source-y? So why the run around and root wars? I dream of a world where you can press 1 button for root access but must sign a waiver/void I'd warranty to do so. Have to do it un-store so not a bunch of idiots will just click w/o reading.
Of course even in that world a lot of us would obviously STILL try to do a root under the radar...
Stock EVO and stock evo3d are so far apart in media sound.Same youtube video on both first the evo i have to almost turn it down from full and with the evo 3d i have to hold it near me to even hear it.Worlds apart.
My media volume is much better than my EVO ever was.

Well,then your OG Evo had a blown speaker in it or something. Because this thing is night and day compared to the Evo 4G.
Sent from that EVO3D Thingy...I need an asprin.
I thought I was crazy when I needed to put my ear up to the phone when playing back a message from Google Voice as I didn't think it was actually coming out of the back speaker. It sure was.
Man we need a fix!
Hello,
I am glad I am not the only one who has noticed this. The EVO 4G could get quite loud almost on par with many Tablets I have seen, the 3D does not get nearly as loud.
SRS is a simulated surround Codec and have not noticed a huge change when using it. At first, I thought it might be the Otterbox Defender, but I took it out and the volume is still awfully low.
Cheers,
JJ
im afraid there prob. isn't a fix for this,its just a small speaker..I think if it gets pumped up it will blow...The quality coming out of it as it is is already on the verge of crackling
I went into the sound settings, turned off pocket mode, then moved the sound sliders all the way up. This seemed to help with my low volume issue.

Hi . I need help with my HTC EVO 3D, software mwakious3Drom 5.0, Android version 4.0.3 . HTC sense 3.6.
When im calling with somebody so i dont hear him. Sound is so quite. I have AudioManager from android and volume for calling on max. I dont know what i can do for better call volume. Please help :crying:
My wife's phone had the same problem. Hers is not rooted. She ended up taking to Sprint for a $35 repair. They said the speaker was messed up. It didn't seem to affect the media or ringer volume, just the in call volume.

Yes, but i dont know what can i do? Because now i have phone but i cant calling but as mp4 player or for doing photos is good. But i need calling too.
Same problem here, on mwakious too. Did some searching and apparently the in call speaker connection is a bit ****. I've gotta try a warranty repair first otherwise I'll give it a crack myself, doesn't seem too hard.

Have you tried rasing the volume with qpst? I have used the method and its definitely an improvement over factory settings.

Hmm, quite quite.
lol, I'm pretty sure we just don't have good calling speakers. I also experience low call volume even when the in-call volume is max. This doesn't matter what ROM I'm on. I've been through 2 replacements and all are the same thing.

Then ya should know what your doing to your phone before you do it. Or be aware of what you let someone else do yo your phone. Good luck buddy

seems people have seen this issue, as I have. one of the Evo3D's I had for a few days had this issue. couldn't figure it out. tried different roms, etc... no joy. had to take it back for a replacement.

Turn on the "Hearing Aid" mode in Call settings. At the cost of having another icon in your status bar, your volume will be quite loud in call.

Read the disclaimer for the qpst. Setting the tab all the way up to four has the potential to blow out your phone's speakers. Three is the best bet. As always you do this at your own risk and nobody is responsible if you mess up your phone. Don't mean to sound like a douche but I had to tell somebody off for smarting off to me about using qpst.
actually if you put your ear RIGHT UP TO THE PHONE it'll sound louder! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT!?!?!?!? lol. now if you actually read the manual.. I think it actually says something like you have to hold your phone at least an inch away from your head or you'll die of the rays coming out of your phones. lol! QPST is ****ty software. I'm not paying to use it.
I am only trying to help another xda member. Please do not post replies saying that a question is unintelligent.

I have tried different apps to increase the volume (both speaker and headphone) of my Evo3D, but I never actually felt any difference. Only difference I felt was when I installed Mwakious's Roms with his sound enhancements, there was a bit of an increase, I have to admit. You guys should give it a shot, seems better than those Google Play apps that you need to pay in order to receive... nothing
I recently replaced my broken dev edition (camera was broken- it rattled whenever the phone vibrated) with a T-Mobile edition. I am on complete stock and have not yet unlocked the bootloader. Ive noticed that the camera clicks whenever I launch an app that uses it. Sometimes its a very soft click, and other times its a extremely loud clock, kind of like a snapping noise. I did not see this issue on my dev edition, so I am not entirely sure whether it should be there and because my camera was broken before I didnt hear it, or if I got another faulty device. Does anyone else hear/notice this on their device? Is it maybe fixed in later firmware versions, and only and issue on 1.27.x roms? Thanks in advance.
I believe this is normal it happens to me too on both of my H1's and also my old sensation. It's like the camera sensor is adjusting once some app gains access to it

Alright cool thanks! I was just unsure since my first one didnt have it, but that camera was broken. Wanted to be sure before I unlocked and started flashing, in case I need to replace it again, which would have made me very unhappy.

Mine is very quiet all the time though. I'd say don't worry, but I'm not sure why yours might be inconsistent in the volume?
Interesting. Mine consistently varies in volume.

Hi!
My camera does make the a sound every time I open an camera app, too. However, stock camera app doesn't make the sound as loud, and sometimes there's no click sound when opening stock camera app. Every time I open LineCamera, though, the camera makes a very noticeable click sound.
It's the OIS

Ok guys. I am noticing that when the device vibrates when I am getting a call I can hear the camera rattling on this device as well. It does not rattle all the time like the previous one did. Does anyone else notice this? I can both see and hear the camera rattle.
Hey guys...So I've searched the forums and the interwebs trying to find if anyone else has this issue, but the top speaker on my HTC One is significantly quieter than the lower speaker. It also is super quiet when talking on the phone, as in I have to be in a quiet room and the phone forcibly pressed against my ear in the right place for me to hear anyone. This happens across different ROMs leading me to believe it's a hardware issue, but I was just curious if anyone else has encountered this and found a fix?
Have the same experience. No clue if it's normal or not. Doesn't seem to be too huge of a deal when held from a distance.
True, but the phone call quietness is what kills me.

I have also noticed this, although for me it doesn't affect the volume of my calls that significantly, so I don't know if mine is just not as bad as yours, or what. But yeah, it's weird. Kinda defeats the purpose of the whole "stereo speaker" thing...
