6710 Navigator - Loudspeaker too quiet

The loudspeaker is ok in a quiet room with no background noise but you can't use it outside or while driving (i.e. places you actually NEED it) as it is way too quiet (yes the volume is turned all the way up!). This is not right. Other Nokia phones have way louder loudspeakers. All the music and video plays loudly at an audible volume but voice calls are useless.
Nokia Care have had the phone three times and can't fix it. They just keep saying the loudspeaker is working... Yeah it is "working" but it is not practical to use.
Very frustrated. All Nokia needs to do is put out a firmware update to resolve this. Its called a LOUDspeaker not a QUIETspeaker.
Anyone else had any luck?

Exactly the same issue here! Fully updated firmware. The loudspeaker is ok in a quiet room with no noise but you can't use it outside or while driving as it is way too quiet. All the music plays loudly at an audible volume but voice calls are useless.

AVOID the Nokia 6710 Navigator.

ALL my problems began on wed, the 6710 arrived, put in my sim card all was well, then it goes down hill all the way down
into a deep ditch then into lots of poo.
After several hours of use, say 3 the zoom bar was making it zoom in and out on webpages and nokia maps, no option to turn off the zoom bar so i ring up my service provider and tell them they tell me to take it to the 3 shop and show them the fault ok no problem...
I get into the shop and show them the fault...
Zooms in and out.
Now it's triggering the centre button for the menu too, so now it selects things you don't even select, how nice.
30 minutes later I have a swapped phone, while in the shop i put the sim card in and I run Nokia Maps 3.0 the screen
loads up and all of a sudden i hear a loud static type white noise coming from it next thing i know the phone switches
off, ok possibly a bad bug (no GPS reception to get a lock it just got confused), wifi everything else looked ok.
still, best run the GPS app to find your location, again it crashes it restarts on it's own.
Anyway I used the other features seemed ok no crashing so i left the shop, I get back home 20 minute drive, I open up the GPS locator app again, surprise surprise it crashes yet again
So I tried it once more, what else i have i got to lose, next thing i know the PHONE REPEATEDLY started switching itself off and then on, i would see the nokia logo intro screen start up, then it would die and turn off, I sat and watched it switch itself on and off like this for about 2 minutes ok let's pull the battery out and wait a few minutes I put the battery back in and went to switch it on.
???? switch on.... pressing the power button, not switching on, this has died, completely and utterly died (yes phone charger is plugged in battery half power before it died)
ok fine... I head back to the nokia store.
Look see, this is even worse it's now dead, ok...
THIRD phone taken out of yet a new box (i'm on my THIRD 6710 in only 48 hours) PLEASE let this work, ok zoom bar works, gps works, no crashes ok good fine THANK YOU!!!!
oh um, hmmm I run nokia Maps i try to get it to navigate, oh Nokia has a lifetime licence or 2 years at least for the nokia 6710, but mine is telling me i have to pay for a perscription um ok what?....
fast forward 3 hours of talking to Nokia, my service provider, tech support, you name it, i spoke to them, EVENTUALLYafter no less than 4 phone calls to the nokia centre first time they put me on hold, second time they said they would call me back (still waiting for that phone call) I tried once again but i got no answer..
Finally a 4th (nice woman) i explained the problem and explained that this is the 3rd phone, but all the licences have already expired this is not what i bought... ok to try and help I recalled some info which i read months ago about nokia taking sim info and matching it against the IMEI
after 1 1/2 hours on the phone she tells me i'm in 'luck' she then had to track down someone with level 3 nokia privlidge or something like that as she did not have the clearence to do this job, so 30 minutes later she tracks down someone in the know and in clearance to do this 5 minute job...
Finally after 2 hours I managed to supply her with enough info to pass on to change my licence info to match the 3rd phone...
Yay
3 phones, $20+ of calls
3 hours of talking
No licence
over 4 hours of "resetting, trying. deleting, installing"
Vast amounts of time and effort wasted trying to get the 6710 Navigator working.
Something which should have taken only an hour turned into an absolute nightmare.
So if the first 2 were faulty, this would indicate that ON AVERAGE only 1 in every 3
nokia 6710's actually WORK, and there's no evidence to suggest that even this 3rd
one will be working in 6 months time either due to the zoom bar's really bad design
or design flaw.
So is it a nice phone?.... yes it's feature rich and very powerful providing it works.
1/10 for build quality, stay away from it, I now have to live with it and hope nothing goes wrong.

I was just thinking, if it is a cable that comes lose which connects the slider bar and that's the root issue because it's poorly connected to begin with....How many people when calibrating the compass (like i did to begin with) would overly shake the phone, up down, around, side back to front.... each time it's not going to help a poorly connected cable..
I guess the answer to stop this slider/scroll bar issue is a simple one, don't shake it, don't move it, just leave it on the table at home ) )

Lg cosmos 2 downloaded music is too quiet

What could be the problem with music being too quiet, and how do I fix it? I literally can barely hear it when I put my ear right next to the phone.
Thank you.

Hi.
Thanks for replying. I received the phone in October; just had it replaced a couple of weeks ago because it wasn't holding a charge. Both phones do the same. No protective case or cover. Ring tones are nice and loud, phone "voice" is fine, I can hear my callers with no problem. It's just the downloaded music that is so soft I can barely hear it. I even tried moving a ring tone that was proven over to music folder to see what would happen. It was soft there as well. I've looked online for ideas but haven't found any help.

Audio clips too quiet at max volume

After putting audio from STP into an FCP project, some friends and I turned the volume all the way up in the audio editor window. Even after doing that, however, it's still way too quiet. Is there any other way to raise the volume so that the audio is loud enough?
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7) 1.42 GHz Power PC G4 1GB DDR SDRAM

I have never liked that "duplicate the track" to make it louder method. When you duplicate the track, you're also duplicating the noise floor, making the background noise twice as loud, too.
If you've got the audio track open in Soundtrack Pro, use the compression plugin, or dynamics, or whatever they call it in Soundtrack (I use Cubase). Use that to bring the level up. What you'll also get with the compression plugins (not the same as video compression, don't worry about that) is it will bring the low level audio up and the high level audio down to even it out. It won't raise the noise floor as much because when audio drops below a certain level (set this right ABOVE your noise floor/room noise) it stops raising the low level audio. That way you have a more even level throughout the track. How does the mix of the announcers on the NFL on FOX always sound so good when it's live? Compression. Keep your levels in check.
So use the compression plugins to even out your sound, maxing out at about -1db. Export it.
Now, import that track into FCP and bring the level DOWN to -12ish.
Much cleaner and audio way of raising levels. Duplicating the clip to make it louder is not the way an audio facility would do it. It's a quick video guy way of doing it. It does the job, but not well.

The music on my iPod plays at normal volume but the voices are too quiet to hear

My iPod just started to play music at normal volume but the voices are too quiet to hear

If you confirmed it is not due to a problem with the headphones
- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.

Nokia 6710 navigator

This is driving me mad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How do you delete the map history on the Nokia 6710 navigator. I have played around with the phone putting in all different locations to try it out, but now want to get rid of all the saved locations. Have even restored factory settings, but when go to maps all the old locations are still there. You cannot highlight and delete them with the 'c' (cancel key) either!!
Advice please???

Have even restored factory settings, but when go to maps all the old locations are still there.
That would be as you have not deleted anything from the maps .
Previous posts that may help .
Favorites can be deleted on maps.ovi.com on your PC. If you are synced, the your favorites would appear there. Once you delete them there and sync again, the favorites on your phone would be deleted as well.
Go to Menu>Apps>Location>Landmarks. Delete them from there.
That fails contact the maps team at Nokia .

Headphone jack too quiet in replacement iPhones

The lock screen button on my original iPhone started sticking, so I took it to the warranty service. They decided to replace it with a new one.
The problem with the new unit was that the headphone jack was too quiet, and the phone was thinner. We verified this by comparing it to two other original 4S units.
For sound, we used the the same track and the same headphones on all phones. You can really hear that my new replacement was at least twice as quiet. And yes, we've made sure all the settings and iOS / app versions are identical.
As for the thickness, we tried my Olloclip on all the phones, and it straight up falls off the replacement unit, while holding firmly on the other ones. Also, made sure there were no screen protectors on either side of the iPhones.
So, there you go, two of the main use cases for me are now impossible - photography and music.
Took it back to the service. They confirmed the faults and replaced the phone again. With a unit with both of the same problems. When confronted again, they now declined, claiming the defects are not there. So on two separate occasions the service first confirmed, and then declined the very same faults.
Has this happened to anyone? How do you go about this? Are the replacements sent by apple supposed to be like that?

FYI, I bought the Griffin AutoPilot in order to hook our 4g nano to our car stereo and I didn't need the included audio cable. However I put it to use with our speakers in our bedroom which are simple ones that don't directly support the iPod. With the cable that came with the speakers we had this problem - couldn't plug in a dock cable and the audio cable at the same time. The audio cable that came with the AutoPilot has a much slimmer connector and it does the trick.

Hp headset microphone is too quiet

Hello, I just purchased an HP H2800 headset and i am trying to use it on skype. The Microphone is too quiet. i tried to setup the Mic in audio settings on Windows, but it fails. Any suggestions?

Hi
I had the same issue with my Satellite U400 but on Vista. After updating the sound driver and BIOS the issue did still exist.
After searching a little bit here in the forum I activated the microphone boost and this was the solution! :)
1.Open the "Control Panel" (Standard view)
2.Click on "Hardware and Sound"
3.Click on "Sound"
4.Click on the "Recording" tab.
5.Mark the Microphone and then press on the "Properties" button.
6.Click on the Custom tab and set the check by Microphone Boost
Check this!!

My ringtone is too quiet

WHen I export my GarageBand files to a ringtone, they always seem to be quieter than the other preset ringtones. I am using v2.0.6 on an iPad mini with 1.3 GB left, 16GB total. Will there be a fix/is there a workaround? Also, I would like to be able to delete my previous ringtones w/o a computer.

1) Since I've bought it, people on the other end have a hard time hearing me. They say it sounds like I'm in a tunnel. I do not have a shell case on the phone, or my hand over the microphone. It's not dirty.
If your phone is still under warranty, I'd make an appointment at the Genius Bar.
2) The ringer, even cranked up with an obnoxious ringtone, is way too quiet. If the phone is in my jacket pocket, or more then 15 feet away I will never hear it. In contrast, my husband's el-cheapo free cell phone rings and I can hear it through my whole home.
I find the audible rings to be very loud on the iPhone. If you're having problems hearing them, you may have a defective phone.

Mic too quiet in calls - even with headphones?

I like to make skype calls with my friends, i use my iPhone 6 on ios 8.1 for this... They have been complaining that my mic is too quiet and they cannot hear me. i tried plugging in apple headphones and using the remote mic, but it made no difference. Weirdly my mic works fine when i use it in the voice memo app or when recording a video... It seems to be just during facetime and skype calls... No one has complained that it's bad during a cellular call either so i assume its fine then.
i Have found no solution to this and have tried a restore, reboot... And i tried deleting and reinstalling skype...
any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

HI, just to add to this... it seems to work fine on wifi but not on 3g? Could this be caused by a poor internet connection? Thanks

Z1C TOO quiet in headhones

Dear Sony, now I'm a happy owner of a brand new Z1C and it's a really perfect gadget BUT for one thing - it's waaaay too quiet in headphones. I tried different models with different impendance and sensitivity characteristics to no avail.
I then run it through my soundcard 1/4" jack along with my Iphone 5 and Cowon D2 under following conditions:
- line input at soundcard remained untouched for all 3 devices
- volume maxed out on test subjects
- default players were used, all sound enhancers and EQs off
- 20sec of same track played and recorded in adobe audition on a separate track for each device
The resulting waveform and it's parameters are in the attached pics.
D2
IP5
Z1C
As you can see, Z1C with its volume maxed out turned out ~9 times quieter than Cowon D2 and ~3.5 times quieter than Iphone5 (as far as "percieved loudness" is concerned). But you got to be no sound engineer to tell how bad things are just by visual comparison of waveforms' amplitude...
This makes me think of 3 possible reasons:
1. I have some problems with my Z1C's audio hardware
2. The volume on Z1C is limited by its hardware
3. The volume on Z1C was somehow limited by firmware
If it's no.3 - are there any ways to get rid of those limitations and make it sound louder?
Would be thankful for any hints.
Best regards,
Denis

Hello Richdog,
I think the issue is the phone not different headphones, since the Volume is an ABSOLUTE measurement made by Denis... he probably used a 3.5mm Jack cable (line in) to plug to the computer and measure with the same audio file...
So yes, maybe better headphones sound louder and better, but they will also be even louder on the compared deviced...
I think sony did this on purpose to comply with Hearling Laws from different countries.... My Acro S is frequently displaying a Volume Warning that automatically drops the volume to about 50%... So maybe Sony put this limit as the 100% on the Z1 Compact.
I hope this can be "fixed" in a future software update.

Narration too quiet with levels maxed out

Hi! I'm trying to record narration in Premiere Elements 7 and despite my levels being maxed out, it's still way too quiet. I just purchased a Blue Snowball Ice USB mic. I also tried it with a non-USB mic and got the same result. I also tried recording through Soundbooth CS4 and it sounded the same. I've tried to adjust the levels both through Windows control panel and in the narration recorder window in Premiere but nothing helps. Any ideas?

julieoolie
Thanks for the follow up with the additional details.
From your details, this is not a Premiere Elements issue. Rather it is an issue involving
your computer sound system and equipment.
If you were stuck with a bunch of low volume narration clips from whatever source, you could consider looking at
at the the following which uses the free audio editor Audacity to increase volume (Amplitude)
Audacity tutorial:making the sound track louder, increasingthe Amplitude, or normalizing the volume levels
Audacity: Free Audio Editor and Recorder
Then you export the volume adjusted clips from Audacity (.wav or .mp4) and import them into the Premiere Elements project.
But, the focus would appear to be on the system volume settings for recording and speakers. So, I am not sure if there is any
merit in working with Audacity in a sound flawed system. You could try.
There is a maneuver in Premiere Elements that you could look at when you have the audio clip volume at max 6 dB and the volume is not loud
enough. Make copies of the audio clip and place the copies directly above one another on the audio tracks. Keep stacking them until
you get the increased volume that you want.
Please review and consider and then we decide what next.
Thank you.

EE Harrier ringtone too quiet even with volume settings on max, any suggestions

I have recently upgraded to a EE harrier and a Harrier mini for my wife.On both phones the ringtones are very quiet even with the volume settings set on maximum.This is causing us to miss calls and messages as the ringtones are just too quiet.Ive tried ringtone booster apps but have yet to find one that works.Any suggestions ?

Hi
Welcome to the Community!
It might sound daft but have you tried a few of the different ringtones to see if any are louder?
How long have you had the devices for and where did you do the upgrades?
Thanks.
