Hey ZR owners, how is the ringing volume on the phone? I'm thinking about ordering one or two in the near future, but I read some reviews saying the speaker is a bit low. I currently have the myTouch 4G Slide and I don't want another phone with a low ringer.

The ringing volume is rather low. If it's in ur shirt pocket, u can hear it at full volume, but might miss in a crowded place. If it's in ur trouser pocket, u will almost always miss unless u keep the vibration on.
In my opinion, the ringer volume is fine if you select a more piercing ringing tone. In call volume is a different story. It is pretty low.

Thanks for the feedback, guys!
The ringing volume is decent for most of the high end phones in the market.
You might only miss it if you put in your jean's pocket in a crowded noisy place.
If you find your speaker too quiet, try to enable xLoud and ClearPhase in the sound settings, it helps a lot on my ZR. Actually it's pretty loud when I'm using these settings.
I think the call volume and ringing volume are acceptable.
For ringing tone use "Beat Plucker" DR.MAD, its pretty loud.
For call volume i read somewhere that disabling the "Speaker voice enhancement" in Call Settings helps. I have it off and call volume is good.:good:

i had a conversation outside, and i could almost not hear the other person. the sound is really soft.
i turned up al the volumes that i could find. are there any settings like in a smartphone to get more volume through your speaker during a conversation?
i'm having the same problem too..
Any help??
Maybe a solution (duh!!)
on my smartphone i could press the volume up and down buttons during a call. but on this phone, as soon as you start talking, the screen and buttons go in standby!
so to increase the volume, first turn on your phone, then press the volume up button.

I wish it was so easy. No the sound is at maximum but tit's still poor quality. In my opinion this device is very disappointing.
did you turn up the other sound settings as wel?
system sound for example?
Did you guys remove the default screen protector? It covered up my speaker so I couldn't hear anyone on the other line, but when I did eventually remove the protector, everything was loud and clear again!
The screen protector covers the speaker!? That's quite poor...
my bad..double posting

quite poor, what???
yes, when out of the box it has a screen cover from the factory, covering everything including the speaker.
use the up volume during the conversation. volume is ok. sound quality is great.
one of the many reviews is mentioning the "exceptional" sound quality of device.
another very common and highly recommended solution is ...."wash your eyer!" one hehehe...just joking..hehe
I have the same problem as well. The talk volume through the headset seems ok, but should go louder compared to my old htc touch. The ring volume and speakerphone volume isn't loud enough at all. I have both volume sliders up to max.
Anyone know of a reg hack to get the speaker volume louder?? I know it can be done cause I once saw it for some other wm6.1 phone, dunno which one anymore :S
The speaker phone volume is so low that I cannot hear people's speaking in open area. Does anyone know how to tweak it to make the speaker phone volume acceptable? Strange, for music and ringtone, the speaker volume is OK, For phone call with speaker enable, the sound is totally unacceptable.

the same problem
in this post you will find all the possible method
Thanks
However, the problem is different, the phone vol is sound good, but once I switch to speaker phone or using Video Call, the speaker phone volume is totally unacceptable. Does someone know the registry to make the speaker phone volume better.
Hi all ,
there is any chance to increase the volume of the speaker ?
he is very weak.. (and his volume is on maximum)
tweak or smting will help.
thanks !
No tweaks really available for this. There are like one or two tricks (one of which requires hacking your phone up) that apparently work.
Look around, there are tons of threads in regards to this topic.
Yes the speaker is crap on the diamond. Sooner or later you will get used to it and live with it
do not forget that you have three volume settings.
first system volume, second ringtone volume and third incall volume.
the last you can only set during a call. when in a call, turn on your screen and then press the volume up button. now you can change the volume during a call.
for me this fixed al the volume problems.
offcourse if you want to use your speaker for handsfree or as an mp3 player: don't. the speaker is not intended for this use and you will just irritate people around you. use a headphone instead.

I also thought that the volume during a call is way too low despite having the volume at maximum. Since I installed Phone Weaver which lets you control the incall volume via profiles it blows my ears away. Last time the speaker was too loud during the call but I couldn't turn it down with the volume keys?! It only changed the master (system?) volume but not the incall. What did I wrong?
I have found that the loud-speaker volume is very low during movie playback, what setting deals with this?
Use Advanced Config and enable all Audio Booster options. This maybe helps...
Also Diamond Tweak, maybe disable 100 db Sound Limitation...
However, these are I think for headset, I haven't tried if they affect the external speaker.
One thing that works for sure is setting equalizers to max in In Core player, but I don't know if the core player works on Diamond...
Don't you love it how I actually haven't helped you at all?
I am gonna test all these and edit this post ))))))

Increase the volume of the movie player if its not already 100%?
Personally my speaker is very loud. During calls, at around 50% volume its still so loud I have to keep it a little from my ear.

i think you have to be in the phone menu. when i press the volume during a call, it changes the call volume. maybe phone weaver assigns a different function to you volume button.

Coreplayer shows volume at 100% already, but the volume is so low I can barely hear a thing...
Anyone? It's weird because when I put calls on loudspeaker it's fine, but when playing a movie it's inaudible...

Hi I have my call volume set to the minimum, but the call volume is way too loud. The "speaker" is not active, but it is so loud that I have to operate the phone a distance from my ear, and in quiet environments people can easily hear my full conversation.
Does anyone know how I can get that minimum volume to be a little lower.
Using stock ICS, no root, everything standard...

Are u sure you're adjusting the call volume (lower volume while on call) and not the system or media volume (adjusted when on home screen or viewing media). Afaik, the lowest call volume setting cannot be heard and is in effect muted.

Try to lower the vol. While calling someone with the help of volume. Up/down buttons

I've always wanted the call volume to be higher on my note - how come you find it loud? have you used a software to increase volume previously?
Hey All,
Does anyone else have an issue while during a phone call if you witch to speakerphone the volume stays low?
It gets barely louder when I flip it off handset volume to speaker. This didn't always happen, maybe over the past month or 2. I've got all updates, I've reset the phone, not sure if it does it in the middle of a call of if it happens right away as I mostly notice it when I set my phone down mid call and flip to speaker ... I crank the volume, the speaker does change but it's very quiet.
At a loss on what to do here, I've gone through all the volume settings while on call and nothing makes it louder when on speaker so unfortunately end up flipping back to in call so I can hear the other person.
