People say they can't hear me on the phone~

Hey people say when I am in a call with them that my voice goes really soft sometimes and they can't hear me..
It's only after I flashed a new ROM that this started happening, I tried going back to the previous ROM I was using but still had the problem...
Is it my radio?

Most likely! Try a few other radios and see which works best for you!
What ROM are you using?

You went back to Which rom with same issue? Stock? The radio would be an issue with a custom rom, not stock. Adjusting general sound volume does not affect "in call" volume settings; check your voicemail or make a call then check your volume setting while in call...there are some custom roms that have a bug where dialer volume defaults to very low or zero volume even after adjusted...

Volume becomes SUUPER low... cant hear anything

Hi,
a few days ago the volume randomly became UBER low. Soo I thought of it as a problem in the firmware (darky's r4). That rom was kinda rubbish; so instead; I flashed dlev 5.0. Awesome rom by the way. And then, over night, when I woke up again; the volume became really low again.
I have no idea how to fix this, rebooting doesnt seem to help.
Anyone have any ideas?

Assuming you're on a kernel that supports the voodoo sound, you might want to try the voodoo control app (I believe it's in the Market). Once you have it installed, you can put a shortcut on your desktop to the headphone amp widget, and that will let you pull the volume up again.
Not a permanent solution, I admit, but probably quicker than digging down several menu levels.

I plugged in my headphones; and everything is fine.
So it seems like the problem is just with the loudspeaker.
I can't even hear when someone calls

You said you installed a new rom - by any chance, did you restore apps with Tibu? If so, did you restore any system data?
I only ask because if you had restored some system data, it might have restored a bad audio setting that is affecting the external speaker when the headphones aren't plugged in.
I know that as part of the Voodoo sound control, you can tell it to drop the volume level if there is a change in whether the headphones are plugged in or not (as an ear saver or to prevent blaring sound when the headphones become accidentally unplugged).
If you didn't do any restoring, I would just double-check the volume level that is set in the audio menu. If it's all the way up, and you're still having sound issues, then I think that a faulty speaker (like you suggested) is probably the case.

I had this problem starting on darky's rom. Didn't use tibu or any sort of backup software; installed everything fresh and new.
Checked audio levels; and everything is on max.
Where in voodoo do I tell it it lower volume when headphones are plugged in?
Thanks

Er.... the loudspeaker just randomly started working fine again.....
I bet it will become weird in a few minutes though :S

In the voodoo control app, if you have the "map volume keys hack" activated, two settings below that is "jack plug-in safety".

Every kernel supports voodoo sound!

Haw Haw Haw... I gave my phone a good spanking. Seems like something is loose near the back key/search key. A few good hits and the speaker works again.
Ha!

Nothing like a good dose of non-passive hardware reconstruction to get things working again.

Believe it or not this is actually abbery common problem with this phone. The speaker will stop...then you press firmly on the speaker then it starts again...

[Q] Anyone else having sudden jump in volume after calls on 4.4.2?

Hi folks,
I'm running Beanstalk 4.4.2, with
- PA's GApps 20131215-signed
- Firmware 3.05.651.5
- S-OFF,
and I'm experiencing sudden volume jumps up. It's reproducible. If I MAKE a call, then hang up, everything gets really loud: notifications, music/media, incoming ringtones, button presses. Even when I turn volume to one click above vibrate(silent), all sounds are really loud.
Rebooting fixes the problem, until the next time I make a call.
I've tried the new KitKat dialer apk with local search, but this doesn't fix the problem. I've tried freezing DSP Manager, but this doesn't do anything either.
Anyone else having similar problems, or know of a fix? Thanks!
Edit: also occurs with last CM build. Must be common for 4.4.2?

Feel better... You're not alone I too have the same issue on cm11 nightlies but only some of the most recent nightlies...I'm sure the cause is getting merged along the way. Its only a matter of time before its sorted.
Lol...I was falling asleep and got a text and it was on max vol...I double checked...turned it down to the lowest again and booom! Another text! Max again...thought it was just me being used to a quiet room or something or that my ring vol was not linked to notification vol but they were
Cheers

Thanks for making me feel like I wasn't crazy! It is pretty impressive how loud the phone is able to get. Hope there's a fix soon!

Few more notes to see if it helps anyone get to the bottom of this:
DSP manager works ok with fresh boot. Crank volume up, custom EQ works.
Make a call, volume spikes up, and then I have to turn volume down to one below vibrate. DSP custom EQ seems to still work: if I crank different frequencies up, you can hear a difference, but the thing is it doesn't sound the same as with fresh boot/DSP settings.
Eg: crank the 250hz range up, get nice bass from speakers with fresh boot. Make call, have to turn volume down, but the bass is gone and I can't get it to sound the same fiddling with the EQ.
I can't think of why this is the case. Anyway, don't mean to be annoying, just trying to see if anyone can piece this random info together.

[Q] In call volume is very low in cm11

After a quick search I've found that a lot of other people are experiencing the same problem on other phones. I opened this thread because no one has reported this problem yet on a LG p880.
I've flashed the latest cm11 nightly and will continue to do so every day. The version I am running now is 11-20140115-NIGHTLY-p880.
After a clean restart outgoing calls work normally. After a couple of outgoing calls in call volume drops dramatically (I can barely hear the ringing tone before the other person picks up and then I can barely hear the other person talk). Incoming calls work normally. The problem continues until I restart my phone or I get an incoming call. Then the same happens all over again, first two - three calls work normally then in call volume drops.
I've tried making calls with and without a Bluetooth device and with and without the stock dialer. I've also tried merging calls and putting calls on hold after I call but the volume problem persists until I restart the phone or I receive an incoming call.
I will continue to update this thread as I flash nightly updates daily.
Thanks for your help

Problem persists
I installed version 11-20140116-NIGHTLY-p880. Problem persists.

I have a workaround for this. When you start feeling that the volume is low, I first press the vol down button few times and then press the vol up button multiple times till I hear the voice properly.
Let me know if it works for you. But definitely this is a problem for all of us.

Hi and thanks for the reply. Tried to do what you described but it didn't work for me. Maybe I am doing something wrong. When the problem appears its even before the other person picks up so I can hear the ringing tone at a really low volume. I tried turning the volume down a bit and then turning it all the way up like you said but no luck...
I am now downloading the latest cm11 nightly, I hope this will be fixed soon.

Just installed 11-20140118-NIGHTLY-p880. In call volume problem is still there.

Installed 11-20140120-NIGHTLY-p880. Problem is still there. The only workaround that works for me so far is calling myself. After the busy message I get, in call volume is fine again for two - three calls. Then the same thing happens all over again.

Flashed cm-11-20140121-NIGHTLY-p880. Problem still there.
Any workarounds anyone?

Flashed cm-11-20140122-NIGHTLY-p880. There is improvement worth mentioning. As soon as the new rom booted up I went to check the in call volume with outgoing calls. The third continuous call I made had really low in call volume so I was immediately disappointed. Then I made another call and in call volume was back to normal, something that would not happen in previous roms. Then I made another 5 calls and on the 6th the volume was low again. Since then though every call I've made has normal in call volume (one day / 20 calls).
This was a huge improvement. Will flash cm-11-20140123-NIGHTLY-p880 and see how it goes.

Flashed cm-11-20140123-NIGHTLY-p880 and then cm-11-20140124-NIGHTLY-p880. With the latter I've made numerous outgoing calls and I've only had low in call volume once. I'd say the cm developers have found whats wring and are slowly fixing it.

I've tried a workaround using sony xloud.It is known to increase in call volume.Works fine so far, pretty sure it increased mine.It also has clear audio, which is supposed to reduce noise when volume is too loud. (tested on latest nightly)
Make sure you thank the OP in this thread.I could never download that ZIP via pimpmyrom app, guess the servers are down.
Also make sure you thank this member for creating the flashable zip & wonderful app
Installation instructions :
Flash the zip via recovery, wipe dalvik cache and reboot.

Thank you for your reply. The latest rom I've flashed is cm-11-20140215-NIGHTLY and it works fine. There have not been any occurrences where in call volume was low, with or without Bluetooth..
Thank you all for your help, I consider this problem solved for the p880.

The problem is not solved. It is back with vengeance since the beginning of July. I have not gone back to a June build to check if it works.
Any workarounds please.

[Q] About Safe Headset Volume Warning in Lollipop

Hey guys, I'm having this bug with Safe Headset Volume Warning.
Now I'm on Titan Prime Rom on Lollipop 5.0.2.
Each time I do a clean install, the first time I use a music player with my headphones (playing music on N7Player) I get the Safe Headset Warning. It asks me if I want to override the Safe Headset Setting. I press cancel, and it's gone forever. You can't make it appear anymore. It doesn't even work, because the headphones go up to the maximum volume.
I need the Safe Headset Volume warning because it's very important to me. I have tinnitus and it's essential so I can't screw my ears more than they are now.
I searched and searched didn't see anywhere on the net something related to this bug in Lollipop.
I tried making it appear with KK GravityBox, but unsurprisingly won't work
Can anyone help me with this?

The Safe Headset is just a warning that appears when you try to get above 80% volume while wearing a headset. It does not do anything else. So you can just drop the volume to 80% or less if you have problems and you will be ok.

In kitkat, when you had the phone asleep (screen off) you couldn't maximize the volume past the tolerable limit even if using the volume buttons.
Now I can use them to maximize the volume even while screen is off or on, and I get to the max of the possible output. I don't know what it's the problem but in past iterations of Android this wouldn't occur.

*BUMP*
Finally someone with the same problem. On Kitkat the warning was my safe to go headphone volume. Even when I disabled it, the next day it came back and everything was fine.
After updating to 5.0 it came up but disappeard after another vol+ click.
Please let there be a fix to get it back and don't allow to disable it with screen off!!

Oh, I was starting to think I was the only one with this problem.
Weird thing is I don't see this bug anywhere posted in the net.
What ROM are you using?
I'll link this thread to the official Titan Prime ROM too.

Same problem, i'm on stock btw. It gave the warning, i pressed vol+ again and it was gone forever. Like WTF? Why need a warning when you can just press vol+ and it's gone. I really need it back

I installed Gravity Box for Lollipop and checked Safe Headset Volume but it still doesn't work. Can you try it yourself?

I don't know if it works on Lollipop as well, but you can try using Viper4Android (advanced audio tweaking app), and reduce output gain. I know this is not a fix, but it's the best I can come up with.
