all of a sudden the call volume on my iPhone 4s has dropped to just a whisper. This happened this weekend unexpectedly. I have checked the forum for similar issues but not found anything that is applicable since
A) I don't have the plastic cover on the front or anything else blocking the speaker on the front.
B) I have tried to increase the call volume while in a call without success.
C) I have had the phone for months without any call volume issues
The only solutions right now are to use an earpiece or put calls on speaker (which I can't do at work). I have tried a hard reset and that did not help. Tonight I will try a reinstall from a previous backup to see if that helps.
I find the call volume very low even in a quiet environment. If outside, I find it very difficult to hear what my clients have said.One fact business people love blackberry is because it has got good call and ringtone volume.N900's ringtone volume is good, but the call volume is just too low. (I have already used the side button to max the call volume, the strange thing is, 50% and 100% make very little difference...)
I feel like my iPhone 4's call volume (when holding it to my ear) seems very low. Maximum volume feels like close to the same as minimum volume on my old phone (not an iPhone). Anything lower than maximum volume is not a comfortable volume and I've always been one to keep it pretty low anyway (not this low). Speaker/iPod volume isn't so bad. But if people are saying that their speaker/iPod/ringer volumes are so loud they need to keep it somewhere in the middle, then I can't say mine is anywhere near that loud either.
I have a strange problem on my iphone.It was mentioned in this forums but none of them solves my problem.1.Problem:While making a call, I can barely hear the voice from the headset. Call volume is max ( also the system volume ) yet it is still too law. There is no plastic cover on my iphone. I have restored the phone to IOS 5.1 yet problem stands still and it is really annoying.2.Problem: While recording a video with the default camera app, sound is not recorded. That is very strange because my mic works quite fine during the calls. When I use a third party video recording or sound recording app from the app store sound is being recorded without any problem yet with the default camera app I can hear some noise only when i tap on the mic with my finger but no sound. This should be a software problem yet restoring or upgrading to the new firmwares hasnt solved the problem.
3.Problem:Speakerphone: As mentioned on the 1.st problem I couldnt hear the voice from the other side during calls, so I tried the speakerphone. Now this is very strange, Spekerphone during a call works fine with the speaker on the bottom of the phone, yet the other side can not hear my voice! :I That is really strange because as I mentioned before my microphone works fine with the third party apps, during normal calls, skype calls, etc.All of these problems since to be software related problems. My Iphone 4 was a gift to me, my uncle bought it from Qatar and its global warranty is unfortunately not valid in Turkey
I have an iPhone 4 which I've had since last summer. All of a sudden (within last few days), the volume during a call is so low that I can hardly hear the caller. I have checked that my volume is up full during a call. There is no protective film over the phone. The earpiece looks clear of any debris. I have tried restoring settings but volume remains low.
Hi I have an iPhone 4 and when any calls are received or made the volume is very quiet so quiet that I need to be in a completely silent room to hear it properly even though the volume is up full.
I have my new iphone 4S - but the level of volume of the call entries is low - I put the volume in maxim but the issue is present yet?Is true ? this is a current damage for any iphone´s 4S.
have had my iPhone 4 for the last week. I'm quite tired of people telling me to turn up the volume...it IS all the way up both using the buttons on the side and the slider...the picture tells me it is at max...I'm not deaf (yet) and the phone is CONSIDERABLY quieter than my Palm Pre (call volume not music). There is no plastic film over the earpiece. I have had six people in the last week say "yeah, that's the only drawback of an iPhone...but you'll get used to it." I'm not sure I'll get used to it. With so many skilled programmers out there, you would think with so many questions all over the web, we'd have an answer by now. I will pay the first person to send me a link to an app that actually increases the volume (amplifys the current in-call volume) to the volume of at least the Pre (not that great a phone or difficult a task...lots of music boosters out there, must be a way to boost the volume of the call), not using a head set, not using bluetooth, not using speakerphone: $50.00USD.
This is my first iPhone, and I don't usually make or receive a lot of calls, (I communicate much more with texts.) I received 2 calls recently and it was almost impossible to hear the other person. I tried hitting the + on the side, but it didn't seem to affect the sound volume. Is there something I am missing in the settings, or something else I am missing? I don't use any type of headset/headphones, as those are prohibited at work. I will say I have a Belkin case on the phone, so it's possible I may not have been hitting the volume controls like I thought. I just wondered if there was something I was missing elsewhere. I am hoping this is just operator error and nothing wrong with the phone.
When I receive a call and phone rings, ringer volume shows on screen and it is reduced by itself to the minimum in a second). Is this behavior due to specific settings?
I just got the 5s and when placing or receiving a call, the sound is very low. I can barley hear the person on the other end. if I switch it to the speaker I have no problems hearing them. All other sounds, music and tones play fine and I've checked the volume button on the side and the sounds button under settings, everything is turned up to high. Is there any other place on the phone or settings to go to?
Just got my new M8 on Friday, and the only problem I seem to be having is when I am using the phone as a phone (no bluetooth, just phone to ear), I can barely hear what the other person is saying. The volume is just way too low. Volume sliders are all set to max, and using the volume up button during the call doesn't work. Call volume is ok over my bluetooth, though I wish it could be a bit louder.
I've seen on internet tons of people complaining about the sound quality during calls on HTC One X.Do you guys have this issue too, because I have it and ...is there any fix for that?I can hear people's voices in my ear-set only in quiet environments, no chance to hear them in a bit louder ones.Any chance that HTC makes a patch for this expensive device we bought , so we can actually use it as a proper phone it should be?
I have just realized that when making/receiving calls, the volume is really soft even after I crank the in-call volume to 100%. The experience is as if the person on the other end of the line is covering the mic when talking (like a muffled sound).I did the service test (Menu-Back-Back-Menu-Back-Menu-Menu-Back) on the earphone, and the volume is way much louder at 100%. Is there anyway for me to reach a similar (as in the service test) volume level when making/receiving calls? I don't mind if the volume at 100% is too loud for my ear to handle, I can always adjust it to a lower volume. But, when the volume is still soft even at 100%?
I am finding that when i am talking on the phone and even though i have it set to full volume, it seems lower than my S4 was, there is an option i have seen called 'extra volume', but when i have turned this on, i havnt actually noticed much difference in volume?
Call volume seems pretty low, my older s4 seemed to have been a little louder at full volume, but when full on the s6 im struggling to hear people sometimes.
Also, there is an option called 'extra volume' and when i press this on, there doesn't seem to be any difference in volume?
New to Android, coming from a blackberry passport and all blackberries before that.
My in call volume automatically changes to about 75 percent whenever I answer the phone or call out, and I have to turn it back up. Is this a bug? Or am I just missing a menu somewhere in settings.
My mom has a 1520 and every time she calls I can barely hear her but she can hear me quite well. Same thing happens when she calls others and they all complain they can hardly hear her. After 5 or 6 secs into the call the volume gets a little louder but not as loud as it should be. She even set it to full level at 10. I asked her to connect a headset/earphones while on the call and that actually worked and the volume was loud and clear but as soon as she unplugs the earphones, the volume drops to a very low level.
Since a couple of weeks ago, some people have tell me that my phone's volume is too low. I test it and it's really low. When I switch to speaker, it sounds great. What could be happening?
after update to 5.0 (or after reset) is volume during call very low. Although the volume button is on 'maximum' I am not able to hear someone if I am outside. Ofc in quiet room I can hear something. Nexus 5 like this is unusable now.
I love my N6, but the in call volume is atrocious. I can barely hear anyone on the end. I can't see why google wouldn't have a immediate fix for this, its ridiculous.
Bought Nokia 603 yesterday and im very pleased with it. however im having a problem with it searched for it and on internet and found nothing. 603's in call volume is way too low. i have set volume to max but still if i call someone or they call me earpiece (not headphone) volume is very low.
The in-call and ringer volume on X10 is way too low, I can hardly hear the other party on a call at a shopping centre or food court. This is very frustrating as making a phone call is the most basic function of a phone but X10 fail in this aspect badly. I am sure a firmware upgrade can increase the volume on X10, its just a matter of whether SE will implement it....can everyone who had low in-call and ringer volume problem of your X10 report here?
Recently i have noticed a strange problem with my X10. During a call the volume drops to practically minimum and i have to boost it up again only to have it dropping which is a huge inconvenience. I tried to byepass this by installing "Volume lock" while this helps it does help in keeping the volume at a fixed level it does not address the root cause of the problem.
I would like to know the official comment from Sony on the low in call volume of the X10. There are load & loads of people on the web complaining about the issue, on my X10, I can only hear a phone call if I am indoors in an extremely quiet location.. if I am outside, near a road etc I cant hear, and it is even worse on speaker phone. I would estimate the volume needs to be boosted by 50 to 100%, seriously the lowest volume of any phone I have ever owned.. which is a shame, as the rest of the phone is great.
Is there an official fix / patch in the works for the volume issue? or is this not being recognised as a widespread issue.. or is the hardward simply not able to do it?
It seems if I use "Poweramp", as a music player, I can adjust the EQ and boost the volume of Mp3's etc to a fairly decent level (much louder than the phone volume), so I'm sure it could be done with software...
I am only after an official Sony response, not people's opinion's, there are lots of other Posts like that, but I cant find any response from Sony to the issue.
There was an article Posted in August 2010 on xperiax10.net.. but I have heard nothing since. [URL]
