Hi, i have a lot of problems with the low volume of my htc legend becouse i don't often hear the ring and so i lost calls. there is a fix for increase the ringer volume of incoming calls? thank you
the legend is actually very loud but the speaker section sits flat against the surfaces you put it on causing it to muffle the sound.
the obvious answer is when you put the phone down place it so it does not sit flat. however the other option is to boost the audio track volume on the mp3 that you set as a ringtone
this is an unfortunate oversight of the legend design i got around it by getting a clear plastic foot thingy whith an adhesive backing from my fathers work which i stuck on the back of it which holds it above the surface you might be able to find some small rubber feet on ebay
EDIT: found this these are similar only the ones that im using are about half the size http://www.etsy.com/listing/37328205/60-clear-rubber-feet-adhesive-backed
I usually put the phone with display face the table top, so the speaker is face upward.
Anyway checks the level of your ringtone. I also find Legend has quite loud speakers.

This is a TEMPORARY FIX.
i have muffled/distorted/cracked/blown speaker.
whatever you guys called it.
i opened the case, and notice its the left speaker that is causing problem, the other speaker is working fine.
if there is only a way to shut down the spoiled speaker. cutting the power cable to that speaker is risky, and may cause more damage, and ruined the chance to get it fixed in the future.
so what i did was cut a piece of paper, folded it multiple times to be about 0.2cm thick.
place it on top of the spoiled speaker, then close the back case. the paper will press the spoil speaker and stop it from making any sound.
my tablet can now play sound at max volume with no distortion.
this is just a temporary fix until the ASUS service center at my place receive the spare part for speaker replacement. which may take months.
Instead of doing all that faffing around. Can't you just use the poweramp app and use the sound settings menu to cut off volume to that speaker by turning the knob towards the opposite speaker in the balance option. Although I don't know if this will totally decrease the output to the affected speaker.

Even if this works, it only works in the power amp app.
If you watch YouTube videos, the speaker still blown sound.
My temp fix really works through out all app that produce sound.
And it is reversible. Just remove the paper and its back to the blown state.
Just a temporary fix until asus service center have the spare part to replace my speaker.
I had the same problem and read in another thread somewhere that the speaker grill to the "broken" one had popped up.
I took the back cover off and just pressed the speaker down. Worked perfectly.
I sent in my Nexus 7 after the speaker blew after a month. They sent me a new one after a week. Unfortunately it's still the C60 series but fingers crossed that there's no more problems.
Hi there,
I've had my HO since May and have noted in the past 3-4 months that the in-call volume level was getting less and less.
However I didn't think about it too much, blaming it on me personally as a person who's been having problems with in-call volumes of all my previous HTC phones.
However the problem didn't exist when I first bought the phone.
Just played some music on it:
I still can't hold the lower speaker grill right to my hear as it is just too loud - same as when I had just purchased the phone.
But the upper speaker is a different story - hold it right against it and I can still hear more sound coming from the lower speaker than the upper speaker.
There's no cracking or strange sounds, it just seems clogged up from dust/dried sweat/whatever?!
Tried gently cleaning it with pressured air, didn't do the trick.
Does anybody have another suggestion before I come up with a tooth brush and might damage the speaker inside?
Did some further research on some other boards:
took a dry toothbrush and scrubbed over the speaker a couple of times - like new again!

I know that for calls the ringtone starts low and it increases slowly but I have no issues with notification sounds-they play as laud as I have set the volume.
When you say the sound is low, do you mean for the ear piece? The ear piece has a known issue of having very LOW sound levels for a lot of people.
A good number of people can't hear using the ear piece.
Check out this thread:
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=80817
I want to add to that also. So sometimes I notice when my phone is away from my head when I answer a call for example, the call starts out louder but goes lower once the phone is to my head. Now if I check the volume level, it's still at max. I was almost wondering if the phone doesn't have some type of proximity sensor that KNOWS it's near my head due to light levels or whatever. Kinda like how the phone shuts the screen off when it's near your head?
Either way I can NOT use my ear piece to hear calls. I have to turn on my speaker phone on a low volume to hear it!
They need to add a "boost" button like Samsung has on their dialer in TouchWiz.
There was a fix listed at the above url but sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't for me.
Hi everyone,
the voice-call-volume on my unrooted HTC One M7 is very low, maybe be speaker got some minor problem.
When I listen to music for example the upper speaker volume is lower than the other, but that doesn't bother me.
My problem is that I barely understand the person I'm calling.
So I'm searching for an app that boosts only the in-call-volume.
Apps like "Volume+" or "Speaker Boost" are not useful for me, because they boost every sound on the device, so than the other sounds like notification are too loud.
Is there a way I can boost only my in-call-volume over the limit?
Thanks
Nobody?
I am also curious...
I saw on the Samsung forum that there is a option by pressing special codes. Is that also available for HTC One M7?
I solved the problem.
The voice-call volume was so quiet because the speaker holes were full with dust and dirt.
So I took a toothbrush and cleaned them up carefully.
The best way is to slide the toothbrush in a small angle.
I had a little accident with my M7. I dropped it from the 2nd floor,thank god the screen didn't break. Just some scratches and dents. Unfortunately the lower speaker got blowen. Now every time the phone rings or I play any video or music I hear the lower speaker with high distortion. So I need help from the developers to completely disable the lower speaker. I know it's possible since the speakers are stereos. Fixing it is not an option for me now.
