Earpiece volume very very low.

Hi all,
I got my N82 3 weeks ago and initially the earpiece volume was working fine. By that I meant I was able to hear things ok even when the volume is only halfway up and I'm in a busy public place like a train station.
However I've notice lately that the earpiece volume is very very very low, almost unhearable even when I turned the volume all the way up!
So basically I'm wondering if anyone has came across this issue and how you've dealt with it? It doesn't have to be an N82, any mobile will do, just as long as you are able to get the earpiece volume to work as per normal again...
Hoping to get some response... it's driving me crazy not being able to hear someone properly!!!
Thanks in advance.

I have fixed it believe it or not?
What I'm about to say is totally crazy and no one should try this if they have the same problem!
Ok are you ready?
As I got to a stage where I almost want to smash my phone, somehow an angel in me came out and said "why don't you just tap it against the table first before you hammer it?". So I did just that and guess what? God must have spare my N82 from the devil in me because it is actually working fine now!
I told you it's crazy... and please don't ask me how hard I tap it?

Brand new iPhone 5s earpiece volume very low while making/receiving calls

I bought an iPhone 5s yesterday, set it up and updated it to iOS 7.0.3 and much to my dismay I tried to make a call and the earpiece volume is extremely low. Is there a simple fix for this or some sort of explanation or should I book an appointment at the apple store and ask for a replacement. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

Lumia 620 Earpiece Volume

dear all, i found that my lumia 620 earpiece volume is very low/soft. i can hardly hear what the other party is talking. volume is at max. any solution to this?
listening to music is ok. this problem only occur when making/receiving phone calls..

When your in call ensure the volume is at max not just the ringer tone.
Alternatively you can reset device if you wish.
If your phone is unresponsive, or it gets stuck showing Nokia logo, then try this: Press and hold both the Volume down and the Power keys for 15 seconds. This should get your phone to restart properly again. If this does not help, then follow next steps to perform OS reset.
Warning: Resetting your phone will return it to the same state it was in the first time you turned it on. All your personal content in the phone, including text messages and apps that you been purchased and downloaded (may be re-downloaded again) will be erased, and the phone will be restore to the factory settings.
Here are two options to follow, depending on whether you can access your phone's Settings screen or not.
Option 1: About menu
Use this option if you can access your phone's settings.
This option warns about data loss.
On the Start screen, swipe left, select Settings > About > Reset your phone.
Option 2: Hardware key combination
Use this option if you forget or lose the password.
Use this option if the phone fails to fully switch on when pressing the power on key.
Note: No warning about data loss!
Nokia Lumia with Windows Phone 8
Step 1

Is it full of dust? Try blowing in the earpiece.
Have you tried a software update? www.nokia.com/softwareupdate
Have you tried a complete reset?
Hard reset (back up everything you want to keep before trying):
1. Switch off the phone.
2. Hold down the following three buttons: Green (the call answer button), * button, and '3' button.
3. While holding these buttons, press the power button and switch on the phone.
4. Release when the phone shows the nokia logo or shows other signs of life like the language selction screen.
If all of that fails to make it work then it is faulty and you will need to visit a nokia care point/service centre.

Earpiece volume better on newer iPhones?

For those of you who recently purchased a new iPhone (within the last few weeks), how is your earpiece volume? Many iPhone users have complained that the earpiece volume is too low, so I'm curious if this is a hardware issue that has been corrected by Apple.

I went into the Apple Store this evening and noticed that all the iPhones had been replaced since the last time I was there about 2 weeks ago. They were all 8GB. I tried making test calls on about 5 of the display phones and they ALL had significantly better volume than my iPhone.
My phone was just replaced by AppleCare because I was experiencing distortion in the earpiece. The replacement phone they sent me (my current iPhone) has the low volume issue. It's been less than two weeks I received the replacement iPhone... do you think I could go to the Genius Bar and make a case for the the volume difference between my iPhone and the display iPhones, and possibly get another replacement?

Nokia Lumia 1020 Very Low Earpiece Volume

Hi
My Nokia Lumia 1020 has very low earpiece volume. At even maximum volume one can find it really hard to hear. I have brushed off any dust etc.. but still the problem persists. I have also read other users facing similar problems. What a pity that such a great phone cannot fulfil basic purpose of having a phone. What's the solution as I want to switch back to Samsung note 3.

Hi, hugosilver and kleo1712.
Welcome to the Nokia Support Discussions!
To help us isolate the issue, you can not hear the person on the other line, the person on the other line cannot hear you, or the audio quality is poor when in call? There are several fixes that you can try to possibly resolve whichever the exact issue you have with your phone is. See: http://www.nokia.com/ph-en/support/product/lumia1020/troubleshooter/?categories=Audio%20and%20sound,.... (Note: The provided link is intended for customers who are located in the Phiippines.

HT204370 the volume is very low on downloaded movies from itunes, and my volume is turned up all the way, and my volume is fine all other times???

My volume is very low when I download a movie from itunes, and my sound is turn all the way up. The volume works fine on everything else. It's really hard to even watch the movie and enjoy it. Why is this happening?

Morning Al My issue has since been resolved after some advice from a friend. It was simple, push the optical cables in firmly until they click, however mine didnt click but there was definatley room for them to be pushed in further as if they are loose they "leak". in addition to this on the TV settings, make sure that the TV speakers are turned off

I'm having the same issue. After opening Audio Midi Setup in Utilities I noticed that the master volume slider of the Built-In Output is very low. I am not able to slide to get any more level out of the system.
Can you adjust the master volume on your system?

Sorry if this is too basic or confusing
Apparently in iOS 8 there are different volume settings for different applications
The setting on the home screen does not carry over to Pandora for example and it is different ( or at least appears to be) for the in-car experience.
So I would try to stream the music when not in the car - see if you can turn the volume up and then try again in the car
Please let us know what happens
Thanks

WIFI Calling - outgoing volume is very low

Hello, I was recently given a Samsung S5 from my work for business use.I work reguarly from home, and the coverage is poor from inside my house! I recently looked on the EE website and found that i could upgrade the software on my phone to enable WIFI calling.I managed to do this which was very straightforward. The problem is now that although i can receive and make calls very easily through WIFI, the outgoing call volume is very low and people are struggling to hear me properly. To check it was WIFI causing this, i disabled WIFI and made the call again in an area of my house where i can get some reception. The volume was fine. So the issue is clearly with WIFI calling. I am not aware of a way to adjust my outgoing voice volume but i hope you can help.This causes me alot of issues and unecessary stress. I look forward to hearing from you. Regards Alan Craddock

I think I may have stumbled onto a fix. When looking at the call settings to type my post, above, I noticed there was a check box to enable/disable 'Noise reduction' (cuts out background noise, apparently). This was on. I switched it off, and the volume on WiFi calling is now OK. To find this setting in Android, go the the call screen, choose 'Settings', then 'Call'...uncheck the box labelled 'Noise reduction'. Hopefully there's some equivalent setting for those of you unfortunate enough to be using an Apple device ;-) Crash

Iphone 5c call volume is very low. Any suggestions?

My iphone 5c call volume is very low. While on a call, I can barely hear the person on the other line. It sounds like they are at 25% volume when the volume shows it is at 100% volume. They can hear me fine. I have tried resetting/restoring several times, the call volume is all the way up, and have even tried messing with the accessibility-->hearing aid setting. The only way to get by it right now is to have it on speakerphone, which works fine. This happens with every person I have talked with, even landlines. Any help greatly appreciated.

Hello Kishore1022,
It sounds like you have a new album downloaded and the tracks all have a very low volume. I recommend checking to see if Sound Check is enabled in the Music settings.

Go to Settings > Music to set options for Music, including:
Sound Check (to normalize the volume level of your audio content)
