I have been told by a few people now that my volume on my phone is low and they can't hear me very well. I'm running 4.7.0.109 on my Storm 9530.
Has anyone heard of this before and is there a fix?

You can enhance your audio for you, but nothing on the other end that I know of. Are you talking to them on a bluetooth? Has this always been the case since the stock OS or just since you went to the .109? Do you have any kind of cover on your storm that could be partially blocking the receiver at the bottom?

Hmmm, if there is not anything I can do as far as enhancements, I may have to get a replacement. I thought maybe there was an option for microphone volume.
I have read in other forums that people have experienced this with .109. Not conviced it is a .109 issue. If you think it might be .109, load another OS, and see if people notice a difference. If you do, please post back your findings, as I am curious if this is valid.
Yeah I would try either reloading the .109 or you could try the hybrid .114 that fixed the dial pad while on calls. And of course, if you decide to do that, I am no way, shape, or form responsible if you brick the heck outta your phone, but I will gladly help fix it lol.
HAHA... Nice "Disclamer"...Quote:

But speaking specifically of 109, I loved it in every aspect.
That is until BBC blew it out of the water with his hybrid. :)
When I have the time I'm going to install the .114 Hybrid and I'll get back on whether that has changed anything with the mic.Quote:

If this is any help--I've had the same issue out-of-the-box with whichever version VZW now ships with. Updates haven't done much in that aspect.
Life is cruel. :P
It seems that for me it's an on and off issue. I'm going to wait for BBCman's release of his new OS, then I'll be able to see if the mic quality is any better.Quote:

Well, after downgrading back to the .75 OS from my .109 I figured out that it is a hardware issue with the phone. Luckily I had insurance and I sent in for a new phone. I guess this isn't the first time it has happened to someone.
People were always complaining that they couldn't hear me until i figured out that I was holding the phone too low on my cheek. The mic can't pic up your voice unless you hold it above your mouth. I was used to the 8130's smaller stature and always held it more vertical from my ear. Now that I corrected that problem, everybody can hear me loud and clear.
i had a similar issue at first, cause i usually hold the bottom of the phone away from my cheek more. and the plcement of the mic and where i hold my hand people say i sound muffled and somewhat quiet, put it closer and my problem was fixedQuote:

That's the good thing with insurance. If your phone is having issues just get it replaced.Quote:

The other known issue is the screen button going out on the phones. This is going to be resolved with a aluminum ball instead of a plastic one.Quote:
