From Day one i have been trying to get good earphones with Mic for nexus 4
tested out more than 6-7 quality earphones with mic like J6M, Klipsh, etc
but the microphone volume on the other end of call is too less compared to apple ear phones( recently switched from iphone)
I have to keep the mic piece really close to my mouth for a good conversation...
can someone help me here.. the mic on nexus 4 works perfect but when i connect earphones the problem begins... i used mic sensitivity apps to test and they pick very less volume from the connected mic
How do i boost the mic sensitivity on earphones or should i return the phone
Will try with my skullcandy's and revert

I'm having the exact same problem - did you find a fix?
I tried quite a few.. expensive as well as cheap ones. finally i got hold of a cheap ear phone set and the volume to the other end is good to be heard (as I have been reported).. While trying them all, I was calling my friend and asking him.. so thats how I know i picked the best one. However, since it extremely loud.. i kinda have to keep it away from my ear a bit and volume on phone is turned down to minimum.. Plus, due to its sheer loudness, I can hear the buzzing sound.. For the first time i noticed it, i.e.: through these extreme loud ear phones. The other party hears it too. Never heard it while on call directly using the ear piece. Strange.

Do you mind me asking which brand headphones you are referring too here? I have the same issue.
I bought from a local shop. It was a knock off of beats audio. The sounds it throws is EXTREMELY loud.
Is it just me, or does the OP make very little sense? I'm completely lost at what he's trying to ask.. Something about the mic? or the sound output of the "earbuds"?
No trouble here with any of the wired earbud sets I've tried. Clear as a bell and no buzzing.
If its so Loud for you, what are you not adjusting the volume? Would kinda of make sense to do so...
Or you could upgrade in your tech and get a bluetooth earbud.. I have absolutely no problem with volume levels from my Jawbone; I'm hear clearly and I can hear them just find (even when driving with all windows down, it sounds like they are right next to me yelling)

Nope, it's you. OP was referring to the mic volume on the headset being low, but in filthykids response, he mentioned that the headphones that solved the quiet mic is also very loud on the earpieces.
Also having the same problem, BTW.

I find that the overall volume on the Treo Pro is not strong. When listening through a speaker or even sometimes through headphones.
Now I realize the quality of the recording is a part of it, but frankly for many recordings i can listen with the earbuds on and cranked to the loudest and its still not that loud.
Anyone know of any tweaks to increase the volume out put? I really would love the built in speaker to be louder.

i dont know any tweaks, but i had the same issue, i even called tech support to get a diff phone swapped out, the tech told me to take the plastic piece off because it covers the speaker hole on the screen.....lol....i know how stupid! other then that i dont know anything to make it sound louder besides the keys on the sides to turn the volume up and down. I did notice that the speaker phone gets louder if u have the phone on a table or something. if this info didnt help then sorry for my worthless post...lol
Did you try removing anything covering the speaker? Yes not a fun idea, but if you did, did it seem at all noticable.
Frankly, even with the head phones its not very loud.
Funny bit of information -- if you want more juice out of your headphones, turn the phone off of silent mode, unplug the headphones and wait for sound to come out of the speakers, and than plug the headphone back in... youve now doubled your hearing loss.
Thanks for the tip. Can you restate the steps. Its not clear (and I could not reproduce it.) Maybe it would be more clear if you describe the original state of the phone. Example: Headphones plugged in and mute switched so speaker is muted.
Thanks
Okay here goes, My phone is usually on Vibrate.
Plug headphones in.
Start music.
Move slider to speaker.
Unplug headphones until you hear sound coming out of the speaker.
Plug headphones in.
I noticed this when listening to music on my headphones and i'd get a call, the volume would crank...
Give it a shot, it works for me!
I could have a bunk phone, but if it means anything I'm from Toronto, and i'm using a Bell Treo Pro.
It's quite possible that the default headphones that came with my vibrant are defective, but I noticed that one earbud is substantially louder than the other.
In particular, the earbud that has the mic inline on it is the one that is louder. I'd say it's maybe 30% louder than the other earbud. I ever tried swapping them in my ears to rule out if I might be going partially deaf in one ear
Does anyone else have this issue?
yea I got my vibrant about 3 days ago, and I have noticed the same thing. I may call customer care or go up to the store to get it looked at or exchanged.
I noticed that too, those headphones sucked anyway for listening to any music/movies. I cut off the one side without the mic and now use it for a wired handsfree device for when i'm driving.
PS - My other headphones work great so at least it's just the headphones.
Coming from the MT3G and almost always using wired headphones as i talk on the phone while driving etc.
The call volume is way friggin low on this phone man..really dissapointed atm, volume is all the way up and using the same earphones i did on my last phone.
The ear buds that come with the phone are terrible. I played Avatar and the sound this thing puts out is very tinny and hollow and to add insult to injury it's volume is substandard.
If im missing something plse let me know.
Thx.
This has been covered before in the dell streak forum (which I've been reading for days now) but the thread died a death!
I've tried wiggling the phone around when its on my ear, wire head set, sennheiser headphones. I haven't tried a BT headset because I don't have one and I don't intend to either! It always sounds like the other end has a towel wrapped round their face while their talking to me...
They (O2) have sent me another one and that does it too... A few days back I was talking to a guy on orange and I have a few moments of perfect clarity so Occam's Razor would say "Loose wire "!!!
My query is this:
Is there a setting I missing, maybe in engineering mode or something. Does anyone know if the phone has some kind of audio muting/limitation software on it???
To be honest, I'm using my old Moto V3 at the moment because the dell sounds so very bad!
Edit: Just tried a BT headset, sounded clearer but so quiet I could hardly hear it
I have a US streak...currently in UK on buisness. I have been jumping between O2, Orange, and 3-Uk networks. I can honestly say that the streak in terms of call quality has been one of the best mobile phones Ive owned. I have not tried earpiece or bt Headset, but volume 0utput at least with the earphone jack is very low.
Running Eclair 2.1 build6941....Call quality State side is crystal clear as well on ATT
I get crystal clear call quality on the receive end, but have had to adapt to holding the mic away from my mouth a bit. It was breaking up quite badly according to my mate who was on the other end of the call (happened a few times). I accidentally moved the mic a few inches further from my mouth and it all went clear apparently! So is the gain set too high on the built in mic?
On bluetooth in my car its clear on Rx AND Tx but that's using a separate mic. The main issue there is that the Rx volume is much too low
Best call quality i've had in a phone so far tho
I've had no issues with call quality, always been crystal clear stateside on ATT.
Only issue i have is that you have to find a sweet spot for the earpiece to direct the sound into your ear, move it a little off and sound is too low. wierd but gotten used to it and know how to hold it up to my ear better then when i first got it
also i only tried one nokia BT headset and the sound was very low! I have 3 or 4 headsets laying around but haven't tested them out yet.
Anyone else having issues with the earpiece volume being really low? I used to have an HTC Eris and that was loud and could hear anyone even with the phone sitting next to me on high but this phone i have to push the phone basically into my ear to hear some people.
I was wondering if there is any program that will work with an unrooted Xperia (since I have the R800x) ... I have tried countless things on the market but none of it helps.
Stereo speakers on the side of the phone are loud as hell, it is just the earpiece.

I have a sony bluetooth headset, and have to turn the incall voulme down to 50%, to stop my head getting blown off
Same here man I have to shove it down my ear to hear but like you said the stereo speakers are great.
Sent from my R800x using XDA App
Same problem happened to me until they just died on me .
Sent from my R800i using XDA Premium App
The earphones are pretty ****. When I switch it to my senheissers it seems to be fine.
I am still having this issue.. the phones earpeice speaker is like 25% the volume of the speaker phone speakers. in a silent room I have trouble hearing people. I have no other option but use a blue tooth headset which ends up being 50% louder then the speaker phone speakers.
Anyone found a way to boost the headset speaker yet?
