HTC has no answer

I have posted a bug with the rear speaker and the volume control. On my unit, when you turn this feature on, the volume is very loud. Even if you turn down the volume to the lowest setting, the volume is less, but still to loud. In a discussion with HTC today, they had no answer as to why this is happening. They indicated that when you turn down the volume to the lowest setting, it should mute. They pointed out that in WM6 there is no settings tab for setting the rear speaker volume as in WM5. Has anyone else tried this feature?

I don't have this problem.
But it doesn't mute though when i use the roll switch on the left side of the kaiser to lower the volume, it does decrease the volume to a minimum, but is NOT muted completely. (that's not a problem for me.. if i don't want to hear the rear speaker, i don't activate them ).

Ditto the only time I use the rear speaker is if I want to hear it.....If I don't I don't use it.

Hi
When using the speaker phone and turning down the volume, even on the lowest setting it isn't off completely. This makes absolute sense as if you are on a call using the speaker phone having no sound at all, well what is the point of being on the call in the first place?
When playing sound elsewhere, i.e. not in a call turning it down completely does mute it.
Your particular issue seems to be the sound doesn't go quiet enough for you, maybe HTC can change this in future firmware. I expect the complaints they get most often is it isn't loud enough to annoy people even more with silly ring tones!

"silly ring tones!"
Ha, that should be a song

Sounds like something loose

Hi !
I got this phone last week, but i think something is loose on it. When i put on my desktop i can hear something loose, and when i use my finger and knocking softly on the back beside the camera, i hear something loose. Is this normal or is it broken ? I cant hear anything loose if i just shake it.

Mmm i dont hear anything like that on my Diamond? If mine was making a strange noise that would worry me a bit! Is the back cover on ok? Also when you take the back cover off, do you still hear anything?
Strange!

yes
the sound is when i am knocking with my finger beside camera....sounds like a screw loose or something...i have removed the battery and batterycover but it still there

isn't the stylus magnet gotten loose? Can you make it with or without stylus?
You are not the first one with loose magnet and it's not that big deal to fix.

Hi !
This give me hope. What is Stylus magnet ?

The magnet that holds the stylus into the phone. Try removing your stylus and tapping the phone in the same spot, does it still rattle? If the magnet was loose, the tip of the stylus could be rattling around near the camera.

Isn't your stylus getting 'sucked in' ?

strange sound
It is not the magnet i think....but could it be that the sound should be there ? The phone is vibrating when there is a call, and maybe its normal ? or am i just hoping thats the case ?

yes
Everything is working great but when putting the phone on the desktop i get the feeling something is loose since the scrambling sound.
When i remove pen and battery and knocking on the flat area where battery should be, then i get a small scrambling sound.

I always thought that noise came from the autofocus-lens of the camera ......
When i shake the phone there is no noise. When i put it on the desk there is this small noise.
But everything works fine.

loose
Hi !
I had a talk to HTC and there will be a small sound when knocking easy with finger on backside phone. But you should not hear anything when shaking the phone. And you should only hear the sound when having the phone beside your ear and knocking with finger. Anyway my sound was to high and i could hear the sound with earplugs so got recommendation by HTC to return the phone. I was also in 2 other shops and listening by knocking on them and there was also a very smll sound.
Thanks for all answers...

Hmmm, my Diamond has a rattle too, but it's quite loud...
I can hear it easily from a meters distance (my arms aren't any longer )..
Did anyone find out what is causing the rattle?
Thanks.
edit: I think it's a part of the camera (autofocus). If I autofocus and let go of the button, I hear the exact same "click" as I hear when tapping the backside of the phone. It also looses the autofocus, I'm afraid this may be a defect...

Mine is in a great condition
My device is working super!~

[Q] Faint ringing/beeping on haptic feedback

Hey guys!
I recently bought Optimus x2 and Im overall very pleased with it. But I have ecountered a thing that annoys me. Im running with haptic feedback on the phone but after the vibration I can hear a faint ring/beep. Is this something you have encountered aswell? Could you test and see if you have it? Just put your ear close to the phone and listen. I just want to know if it is normal or something wrong with the phone.

profile
i ahd the same in the beginning, but some tweaking in the sound profile dit it for me.
but i do'n remember what i dit.

Hi!
Ok, I cant find anything. The sound is a little squeaky. So the question is if it is the sound of the motor spinning up and normal or if the phone is faulty?

Hey guys!
Would be great if someone could help me confirm this. Im a bit worried that the phone is faulty. So if You could put your ear near the phone and press any of the buttons at the bottom of the phone and see if you get a little beep/squeak after the haptic feedback.

Just turned the feedback on (prefer it off myself) but did not notice any squeak or beep, the only sound was the sound of the vibration.

Hi!
Ok thanks for testing. Its like a little beep or squeak just after the vibration. Its noticable In certain situations. Being kinda paranoid with this thing but since I am stuck with this phone for 24 months I want it to work as intended. Im afraid it could be something wrong with the vibration motor. But its been to long to DOA the phone now and if I send it away I will be without it for at least two weeks so I dunno if it is worth it. But since nobody else notices this squeak its either broken or Im to picky with things.

"problem" with call speaker.

Hi there.
These day i noticed something strange about the phone when i'm making phonecalls.
The sound of the call speaker was a little low and i fell it vibrating on the back of the phone...
I put my ear on the back and i could hear the person clearly. It seems that the sound comes out not only in the right side.
When i press my finger on the back of the phone, the volume of the call seems to increase.
Nothing to bother really, but i wanna know if its normal...
thnaks!

Its absolutely normal ur feeling it bcos phone is made jam tight due to its..dust and water resistance...... So no worries enjoy d machine... Cheers

Thanks man. i tought it could be a problem in the isolation...

Weak Vibration Motor

I just wanted to check, do others find the vibration motor is very weak?
If the phones in my pocket, i can't feel it at all... i've missed so many calls and messages because of it.
Even when it's on a table, it's not really strong and a case weakens it even more.
It's making me not want the phone because I have to keep it on loud with ringtones on. Why is there no way to increase vibration settings in... settings?

Agree
I am finding this annoying as well when I bought it from a friend who used it for 2 years. My previous phone was/is LG L70, a budget phone, and the vibration was pretty strong that I can even hear it, and rarely I missed calls or something on it because it wasn't directly touching in any way my body to feel it, whether in pocket in jeans or jacket chest pocket, usually I still felt something vibrating. But this one, even in almost decent silence where I should be able to hear my Huawai P10, I barely felt something was emitting something on my table, and I figured it was vibration, checked my phone and someone was calling. I barely feel it vibrating in my hands as well...
I personally really dislike having ringtones when someone is calling, or messaging, so I prefer vibrating as only means of signaling while having silence without annoying others with my preferred signals, but this way...I can easily miss whatever call it is and it will make me paranoid of constantly checking the phone, which I wouldn't like to have, if in any case I do develop it(paranoia).
