Speakerphone too loud - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The speakerphone is too loud and I can't make it go lower. There are only a few breakpoints and the lowest one is still too loud. I can turn off speakerphone and turn up the volume and it's okay but I have to be really really close since the mic won't be as sensitive.

The question would be, is there a way to lower to speakerphone volume beyond the limit they set?

I noticed that I couldn't lower my volume below like 1/3 of the bar when using speakerphone. I was annoyed by it, but I rarely talk on the phone, let alone speakerphone.

Any success with the RMA? My bottom speaker is definitely buzzing from being too loud.

Any solution for this issue please? I am having this problem (in call volume to loud) over any ROM I install. Even now with nougat the problem is still here

Hack to increase earpiece volume on JAM?

Has anyone found a hack to increase the speaker volume when holding the JAM to your ear. My hearing is not good at all...remember when mom used to say "turn that music down, you'll go deaf" turns out the old girl was right.
The volume on the JAM seems even lower to me since doing the latest ROM update. There must be a registry setting to increase the volume. I've not seen anything that jumps out, but I'm willing to bet that there is a way.

low earpiece volume
hi paragon,
I fully support your criticism about the poor audio level at max setting. There must be sufficient potential in increasing the audio level since there is the loudspeaker function available.
Now 2 people are waiting desperately for a solution by a honourable specialist which allows for an icrease of the basic volume setting.

Well, the speakerphone on this thing isn't actually isn't any louder than the regular earpiece!
did anyone find a solution to this one?? I hope it's not the old change the rom to 1.12? I'm happy so far with 1.06 apart from the low front speaker volume.
Phil
i'm using 1.12 and i struggle to hear ppl as well. i ran by this app earlier today on i forgot which site that says its the ultimate hack tool. i'll browse through my histor and see if i find it and figure out if it can increase the volume.
Unfortunately it's generally considered that it's not possible to activate speakerphone programmatically, which will mean that automatically switching to speakerphone isn't going to help too much.
I tried setting up a profile to turn the volume down to a reasonable level, and then activate speakerphone and use that as the earpiece. That way the screen doesn't get sweaty and you've got better sound straight to the ear. However, some people on the other end of the line say the recieved sound isn't so great. I don't see why it should be any worse. Play around with AGC in the settings panel. Anyone else care to report on this idea?
V
i found the app, its tweaks2k2net unfortunately nothing with earpiece volume... and about the using the speakerphone instead, i've had ppl complain that they cant hear my clearly as well.. is the mic also bad on this phone?

Very low speakerphone volume...

I've tried that Registry hack to change that volume from 1 to a higher number but it hasn't changed the volume of the speakerphone...
Now before anyone says to 'use headphones' I use the speakerphone to receive calls when i'm driving and i've tried bluetooth headphones and find them cumbersome...
My speakerphone from my previous phones was sufficient, but this speakerphone is very very quiet and the recepient cannot hear me either...
Can anyone help?

That's why you get an N95
Yea the speakerphone volume is too low. I have to agree with poetryrocksalot that the N95 has a much louder speakerphone volume, but that is definitely not a "solution".
not only the speaker phone....also the ringtone
i always miss call after i change to use X1
xperia has only 1 small speaker not like the n95 (which i used to own) there are some programs out there that can actually make the xperia speaker louder, it worked for me but the alarms, i dunno, i prolly sleep like rock so i can't hear it. hehe
actually yes ! the speaker is very low, btw I use this soft to make it louder...
just Install, go to Volume control and star testing, I just active the first box and the last one by high, the middle one is too much...
After changes soft reset!.... if it doesn't work PM me, to upload a new fix
NOTE: USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK !!!!!!!

Ear Volume

Is it just my phone or is the volume from the earpeice very loud on the HD2?
I have turned my down as far as I can get it & it's still well loud when I hold the phone to my ear.
That's just weird. On my device the earpierece volume was far too quiet. On max I kept on reaching for the volume rocker upwards...
Wow.
If I turned it up over half way the earpiece vibrates & it's deafening.
Yes it is loud.
Makes a change - usually its people complaining that its too quiet
Yes, with mine device is the same!
I've lowered the volume control in-call to the minimum (without any bars visible) and it is still too loud.
Nedd a fix for this, my ear are going to melt!!!
yes its to loud.
i dont know exactly, but is there a setting the advanced config for the ear volume?
EDIT: maybe i found a solution. I set the setting in the "sound & Display", that is coming after the profiles, on off. In german it is called "eine lautstärke", i dont know exactly what this is in english It is the setting that controlls that you only use "one loudness" for system and the ear. After set to off i think i can put the ear volume very low.
phatair, i dont think that has anything to do with the ear volume.. it says "mutural volume" (or something) about ring tone and system volume.
i agree the current ear volume is too loud, i can put my phone on the desk and still hear it loud and clear on the lowest volume..

Earpiece volume

I just got it and noticed the earpiece volume is still low even with the volume turned all the way up.
Is there a setting I missed or maybe a registry fix?
Any help would be appreciated
HTC HD2
OS 5.2
MANILLA 2.5.2
ROM 2.13
RADIO 2.10
Don't mean to offend you. I had the same issue but was more of a user issue. I kept increasing the volume not paying attention that I was adjusting the ring volume and not the system volume.
if that doesnt work you may need to return it. My friends HD2 had low speaker volume and low earpiece volume. As much as we tried, we couldn't get it to go.
N1M1TZ - No offense taken, I only adjusted the volume during a call and at max it is still quiet.
I checked the settings/sounds, no adjustment for the earpiece just the ringer and the system sounds.
marduk79 - after doing a little digging I have found that this is a common problem with this particular batch of phones.
The first batch came out and the volume was set way to high that it was actually blowing out the earpiece.
I think I may have found a solution, if it works I will post it.
Thanks for the assist.
So what is the solution... My first one had sweet loud ear piece volume. But alas, the speaker blew. My replacement is alright, but I want it to be a tad bit higher... Lots of years of loud punk rock have made me slightly def I think...
Anyone know if there is a cab or registry tweak or something that will make the volume louder in the ear piece speaker?

How low? Like so low you couldn't hear it, or just low enough to be annoying? Basically my first HD2 was nice and loud. The new one is about 3 bars lower sounding turned all the way up... Which annoys me because I know the other one was louder and it's hard to hear people if I'm in an environment with a lot of background noise.
I feel like if I tried to take it in to get a replacement they would think I was nuts.
headphone and phone speaker too low
I too beleive the headphone volume is way too low, when listening to music or taking a call on the headphones it is barely loud enough too hear if there is any background noise such as traffic or conversations going on nearby. I have the volume about 75% when listening to talk radio stations, on my headset, no background noise present and it is at normal listening level. So if there is background noise, I need 100% for it to be loud enough to hear clearly. The phone speaker is not much better, when listening to calls on speakerphone the percentages are about the same for equvilent listening circumstances. I have tried "AudioPara3 TMO" and notice little or no difference in sound. Does anyone know of anything that will increase the maximum volume level for both speakerphone and headphones?
I'd like to know if there is any registry hack to increase the line out volume as well. My line out volume is very low, I have to put it to about 50 percent to match what would be the 20-30 percent level of my old HTC Touch (Touch 1 to HD2 - quite an upgrade, eh?? )

DHD incall volume

Hi, I tried to search for it, but found nothing.
My Fathers DHD has an in-call volume that is so low that you just can't hear anything if you are in an environment which is even a little noisy...
I don't have the same problem on my own Desire Z..
I'm wondering if it's a DHD problem, or just a faulty front speaker in my fathers device?
thanks
Mine in-call volume is pretty low too, especially low if you compare it to my old Nokia N95.
so.... anyway to fix it? apps?
You must try X10

Good one !!! X10 is really the worst out there , had it for about two weeks. Desire HD is ok on volume, i use about 60 % of volume power and the sound is loud and clear enough.
Low in call volume
I have agree the in call volume is pretty bad for a phone of this specification. I've tried different ROMs and Radio but its just plain bad.
Really need a DSP manager style hack to make this better.
For now try repositioning the phone on your ear. I hold it so the mic is a few inches away from my mouth and that angle helps with the in call volume. Not a natural position though!
There is a very crude fix for the low volume problem (ignore the "volume is fine" bull****, the volume is crap). Use speakerphone. Seriously. But use speakerphone like an ordinary phone. Turn it on and hold the phone in the normal way for a voice call. It really is much louder. Of course others will hear the conversation - but at least you will hear it pretty clearly. Ridiculous solution, I know, but it's a ridiculous problem.

I've been doing just that along with the DSP manager fix so thanks for not making me look mad
My colleage has the same phone and says in call volume is ok - duh hello!

for starters no1's input on here is "bull****" just because you dont like the call volume dosent mean others find it as problematic as you..... no need to call other peoples views bull****, just because they dont agree with you.
