I have the same issue. I flashed Virtuous yesterday and now all in call volumes are super quiet.

Look for a file called "Sense4.0_InCall_Vol_Fix.zip"
It fixed mine.

Your speaker is blown. It's a known issue with the 3D, there was a thread about it before. Mines toast too so I just use bluetooth

this happened to my first 3D. Speaker was blown. I had to get it replaced and that's when I got stuck on Hboot 1.50
Fortunately now there's an S-OFF for 1.50

^^^ So all your audio is very low, just not your call volume? Media volume is pretty low on the 3d, but my phone volume was VERY low after flashing ICE. After doing the in_call.zip fix, my media volume is still low, but my phone volume is back to what it was under 2.3*.
Maybe a thread title change?

My speaker has be good without an issue (knock on wood) but ever since I flashed an ics rom like few days later all of a sudden I can't hear ppl on the other end really

FWIW, I'm using Newts RC3. If you haven't given his ROM a shot, might be worth a try. It could still be a bit louder, but it went from unusable to workable.

change rom
I would try a different rom, mean rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1466362
is an awsome rom and use chads kernal qualcom 1a will allow you to use beats which can help get youur media volume higher and cleaner. But watch your speaker like always if you think its pushing to hard it probly is.

Is there a setting in your rom to boost the volume? My old desire had that.

weird. i have leedroid on mine and it's perfect.
my mate got an evo 3d, i s-off'ed it etc and restored my nandroid and deleted what he didn't want etc....and his is nearly silent. Brand new phone so i doubt it's a blown speaker. Very odd.

Because there are hacks that can raise the volume past what the software allows, but it crackles and I was afraid I'd blow the speaker. So yea....its both.

Speaker crackling

Anyone notice speaker crackling when playing music or ringtones when running eternity rom? Have tried 2 different kernels bcblend and anthrax kernel and seems to be the same!
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
Sounds like a blown speaker. The only time I hear speaker crackle is when I'm on a phone call.

And if you have TEP then sprint will replace it for free.
I have best buys insurance, i was hoping maybe it was releated to the eternity tom that has infected beats
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
I tried the stock kernel, still same thing, i didnt try switching roms but i heard that there is an issue how beats is tied into our roms and thats whata causing the crackling can anyone confirm?
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
If you are talking about playing music through the headphone jack, I can kinda confirm that the crackling disappears when not using a beats rom. I used Eternity and experienced the crackling. Switched to Olympus beatless and the crackling disappeared.
If you are talking with the external speaker, sounds like that is blown and will need to be replaced.
Its the external speaker.... Damnit here we go
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
Actually I was having that problem but noticed it only when the screen turned off. I switched Roms since but check to see of that's the case. Turn the screen on with no time out and see if it doesn't crackle. If so, its the ROM. If not, still could be. Haha
Sent from my beasted EVO 3D using xda premium
Have you tried with anything that doesnt require beats? maybe youtube or a movie? If no crackle there, then its the rom.
This weekend i believe im gonna nandroid and install a stock rom and see what happens, i hope its not the speaker, if it is guess ill see if best buy will fix it

[Q] Ringer is still too low

Hey all,
Just recently acquired an evo3d from another member here on xda. The ringer and alarm levels are quite low for my tastes. I have gone through the whole QPST change for sound. Didn't notice much of a difference. Started using volume+ and set my speaker volume to 10. Still...better but no where near as loud as my 4G was. Anyone feel its safe to go louder? Should I go back to QPST and reset the sound settings to default before I take it too high?
Thanks in advance.

I just got a new one and yes the volume is insanely low for everything.
What is this qpst and volume+ you speak of please share any links please. I'm on my phone and in atlantic city kind of drunk so my searching is a little off as is my equilibrium lol.
Thanks for any help and links

Volume+ is an app in the market for $1.62. Let me grab the link for the qpst.
Edit: here's link to qpst edit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1147436
Qpst did literally nothing. Volume+ paid version helped some.

I don't have a link to it. But try looking for the Sony Xloud mod. It raised my volume on my phone.
QPST mods all my levels successfully.
My phone defaulted at 2, so I tried 3. No change. 4 isn't much better either.

I actually found three to be grating to my ears. So two is my option, save for the earpiece which I set at one. I wonder if your settings are sticking. There are some settings that won't stick on the 3d, like the wimax settings inside epst(##3282#).
Also, try the tab for mms audio, I believe it's called.

It should, I'm running freevo and it works.
It's just a volume mod and quite a few people are flashing this with various roms.

Thanks, gonna go into qpst and change my settings back then flash this so I don't blow my speaker to bits.
Will let you know how it works. I increased your thank meter for it.
Edit: Thanks! It worked on Eternity. Thanked another one of your posts for the big help. Wish I knew about this yesterday to save myself from buying volume+. =P
Sorry about that folks, should also said to turn down your sound all the way.
This mood can blow your speaker out pretty easy.
s3nt from my 3D wond3rland
I turned off volume+. I never changed my qpst settings due to the fact I never noticed a difference. Better than ever with xloud.

Any apps that boost volume?

Any apps that increase volume not just ringtone volume but music as well? All in all great phone, the only knock I have is the volume level.
I believe Volume+ does. I use it on my TFPrime.
Check out Meridian for Graphic EQ.

Equalizer apps
There are several equalizer apps that will boost the volume but the best one is call Equalizer by smart android apps. Buy the key and you can save presets for different apps like slacker radio for example or the stock music player. Works in conjunction with beats also. Just move the sliders up and enjoy more volume. Did I mention it works with bluetooth ! Also has themes available !

Volume+ does not work on this device.
Been looking for something that works as well.
Coming from my S2, this speaker blows. Can't believe HTC is still putting out these low volume speakers. (I remember e3d being crappy as well)
I've been using the full version of equalizer since my evo 3d. Works perfect on this one too.

I have never used the app personally but every single review on the app on the evo lte states it does not work. Are all these people wrong? Click all devices and change it to your evo and read the reviews. https://play.google.com/store/apps/...51bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5URVNULmFuZHJvaWQubHZoIl0.

Once again as stated before volume + does not work on the one x or evolte.. If you don't believe me or anyone else go onto the developers personal site and on his forum he states that it doesn't work unless you are rooted and change a few files...

The speaker sounds better then the og evo,just not louder and the damn headphone output is loud for a phone lol so I'm guessing you want to boost the speaker volume?
Yes I want to boost the volume. Apps such as Pandora, Sirius, even the music player aren't very loud. These are the apps I use regularly that need a boost in volume. Even the speakerphone is fairly quiet

Distorted sound/low volume

Hello,
i'm experiencing low volume with distorted sound coming out of the rear loud speaker on my DNA. It sounds like its blown. BUT it only happen when the phone is charging and laying on its back. once you lift it up, or flip it over, everything is fine. i'm running newts latest with palmers latest. reboots dont help. had some EQS mods, did a dirty flash of newts, still didnt help. any ideas?
Well if it's on it's back then the speaker is covered, and the sound isn't able to get out.
