Yesterday the speaker was working extremely well. Even had to turn down the volume to the middle. Today, there is very little volume even when set to the highest and the tone is very scratchy. All was well yesterday and usable yet to day it is not even loud enough to hear. I made no other adjustment yesterday except for turning on the speaker which turned out to be great and what I was looking for since at my age, I find it hard to read the messages.
What is the fix or what adjustments do I make to get this back on track?
HELP!
Later today, the ZW2 volume and speaker came back to normal.
Anyone know why this happened and in the future when the issue repeats, it can then be solved.
You can change volume of speaker by press volume up and down on your phone when you are talking with someone by speaker of zenwatch 2.
Thanks for the reply but what is going on is that the Sound changes as described in my original post without adjusting the phone volume.
In the last two days it has been great and clear with a change to crackly and soft to only return again back to great and again today back to bad.
Do I have a defect in my ZW2, is it with the recent update, or is it a settings that can be adjusted.
Love the read out for the phone and want it to stay in the "Great" mode

This does not work for music. Any thoughts on that?
What is strange is that sometimes the sound is fine other times it can hardly be heard. I check phone volume and also OK Google to increase volume to max which it shows but the speaker does not respond to these outside adjustments

it sounds like handset volume is too low on my phone but i'm still not sure yet since i've only had the phone for 2 days. it's definitely lower than the htc incredible's handset volume by a decent amount. there is also a very slight hiss but i think that's normal.
i bought the optimus t on ebay so i won't be able to take it to t-mobile and get it exchanged for a new one. i've been trying to search for a root solution to make it louder but i can't find anything. the one solution i have found was only for samsung android phones. any ideas on what i should/could do?
You mean the earpiece volume while on call or the speaker phone ergo the ringer?
Both are realised thru the same speaker. While the earpiece volume is pretty high, the quality leaves a lot to be desired. Its a bit shrill and piercing. Strangely enuf the same speaker performs very nicely for music playback!
You sure you maxed out the volumes?
i mean the phone's earpiece. i have no problem with any of the other volume levels and i have made sure i maxed out the volume for everything and then i'm going to see if they are too loud after a couple of days and adjust them accordingly.
Up until now I'd always been puzzled by people saying how quiet they found the headphone output of the SGSII and they they wished it was a more normal volume level. Mine had always been plenty loud enough to drown out my Metro ride to work in the morning, even dropped down a notch or two. Yesterday I discovered a possible reason to fit both findings.
I'd been messing with my phone before heading out to work, put in the headphones, sparked up some music and.....quiet. The max volume I could crank out of it with the headphones in must have been about 60% of the normal. Whatever I did, wherever I went in the phone to alter settings and whatever values were showing made no change to push it back up again.
Today I turned the phone on, unlocked it, dropped the headphones in and played the same album and it was the usual 'loud' volume again.
This convinces me that there is a set sequence of actions that causes one quieter volume level to be set as headphone maximum and another that allows a more decent top end. Both findings on volume to this point by others seem to be right.
I'm trying to reproduce the steps (nothing outlandish) which led to my temporary trip to ear-protecting quiet land but have been unable to so far. I'm putting headphones in before and after pushing the volume to max, trying this before or after going into the music app and/or starting the music playing but obviously there are quite a few permutations - all of which are quite normal usage and liable to be done by many people.
I'm posting this so anybody else can also have a mess around and maybe find it before me, helping a few others in the process.
Did you ever find the solution to this?
In addition to the first post I think it is remarkable that you can get different levels of audio output by using different headphones or speakers. Sure all the models available differ a bit but never had such a difference.
settings->sound->volume: 4 sliders there. I once read that sometimes "media" and "incoming call" get mixed up. I sometimes have a really hard time to hear people on the phone using headphones.
Been having the problem for a few days now and not sure if it's hardware or software related. So ear speaker doesn't work most of the time. When I make or answer a call, I'll have to switch to Speaker mode. But then, Speaker mode doesn't work sometimes in neither Call or Media modes. Pisses me off. Is anybody else having the problem or should I just get an exchange?
I think the problem might have started after I flashed the RM-819 firmware, then back to RM-801.
Thanks.
What's your volume set at? One of the weak points of WP7 is that it has a global volume control that affects everything.

Definitely not a volume issue. Speaker will sometimes stop working in the middle of a call or just using the phone. There's no static or any weird sound that would indicate broken speakers though. When it works, it's very clear.
I woke up this morning and decided to clean the earphone jack. Everything seems to be fine for now. Maybe that was it... a dirty earphone jack?
Hi,
I have just switched from an iPhone 4 to SGSIII. When going to sleep I like to listen to tune in radio. The only problem I am finding is that on the lowest volume notch using the volume keys is still too loud for me.
Is there anyway to lower this further?
I totally second this.. I am coming from an age old HTC G1, and i loved how i could have it SO quiet, that i could hold the phone up to my ear at night (the speaker phone side, not the talking side) and hear it just fine but a person laying next to me in bed couldn't tell i was listening to anything.. but with the Gs3 its so loud even at the lowest setting possible that at 4-5 feet away you can hear it.
Not to mention the text alert sound is too loud when I have it at the lowest setting.. On the G1 i could turn it down to the lowest setting and it was quiet enough that if you listened for it you could hear it in a quiet room, but if you weren't listening for it you'd miss it. wish the Gs3 had a little finer tuning on the quieter end
I do that too a lot and the only solution I found so far (sgs2) is to use apps like PlayerPro/PowerAmp for mp3s and XiiaLive for internet radios because they have internal volume control on top of androids one. Gets the volume so low that even at night with in-ear-canal headphones I can barely hear the audio. Not that I do that but still, it's nice to have control of the volume so much.

Poweramp is the only solution I have found but I really like Tunein and that does not have any control. There must be a simple system wide solution. My device is rooted so are there any options?

I'm resurrecting this old thread. I too would love to be able to turn down the volume to as low of a setting as I want. I don't understand why the phone manufacturers don't simply provide that capability!
There is another post here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2565559 on a technique for the HTC One. I haven't tried it on the S4 yet.

I'm getting this weird audio issue starting just a few days ago. It will suddenly ignore my volume settings and go to max volume. Even if I'm in the middle of something like watching a video in class on silent, it will suddenly switch to full blast volume without warning. However, the audio is extremely distorted beyond recognition so it is just very loud garbled white noise.
Any ideas?
I have an issue with audio as well but it's different in that when I lower volume to mute you can still hear the sounds play at very low volumes (have to place ear next to speakers to really hear it). I'm wondering if that's your case as well.

I've thought I've heard that too a few times but I usually shrug it off that it was just in my head. That's very different from the issue I'm posting about though.
