I installed this beta app from xda and it solves the problem, don't know if it is supposed to work on the rear speaker but it does.

Like alot of us have been saying. If clearly state's on Google play. That this app if for headphones and not the rear/external speakers. And if have tried the FM detailed on these boards you would tell it does nothing at all

If nobody has already, when I get time I'm going to reverse engineer the radio app and see what's going on...

Hi Patrick, when I use this while playing an mp3 when I turn the app on and of the volume goes up and down to suit. It may also be increasing the headphone output at the same time.  The control of the rear speaker may just be a side effect of that .

I am sure this problem used to exist on the TMobile Pulse and was solved, and the issue identified. Unfortunately I can't remember more than that, but might be a place to start if you feel like searching.

Possibly you'll need to look into AudioFilter.csv tweaks. Some other Huawei phones have similar low volume issues which have been fixed by tweaking the values in this file. It's not something I know how to do myself so you'll have to do some googling.

Another option would be to add DSP Manager to the phone if it's not there already.

In the same place as the AudioFilter.csv file, there are other versions of that file with phone model names attached. It looks like these might be the default values for various devices, but if you look at them they all look very different from the actual AudioFilter.csv file. I was wondering if we just need to rename the one that matches our model and replace AudioFilter.csv.

AudioFilter_MSM7227A_U8815.csv looks like it's the one, but I'm a bit nervous about breaking something and although rooted, the root does not seem 100% as I can't do things like 'adb remount' without getting an error.

Does anyone here experience with AudioFilter.csv values ?

If you can try making a backup of the file

mv  AudioFilter.csv AudioFilter.bak 

and then copying the one that looks correct

cp AudioFilter_MSM7227A_U8815.csv AudioFilter.csv

- not sure if it will work, but hopefully after a reboot if it doesn't, you'll be able to restore the backup. Can you post the content of both files?

I'll see if I can replace it in a minute. Supposed to be working

This is the file named AudioFilter_MSM7227A_U8815.csv

Looking at the two files, only the line D1 seems to change a bit. I presume this is the right place to fix the rear speaker. I have replaced the file and rebooted, but it's not made any difference.

Just done a bit of Googling and there may be more than just the one file needing to be changed:

AudioFilter.csv, AudioPara_TMUS.csv, AudioPara4.csv 

Hopefully will be purchasing the device tomorrow so I can have a root around then

[FlatPackPete]

Thats the csv files that keep coming up time and time again, but that was a speaker problem with the Nexus One and it looks like people just kept spamming this "Fix" to other phones as the universal answer to everything.

With the G300 we have the following files in the /etc folder

AudioFilter.csv
AudioFilter_MSM7225A_U8185.csv
AudioFilter_MSM7225A_U8655.csv
AudioFilter_MSM7225A_U8661.csv
AudioFilter_MSM7225A_U8665.csv
AudioFilter_MSM7227A_U8815.csv
AudioFilter_MSM7625A_C8655.csv
AudioFilter_MSM7625A_M660.csv

Now I'm no expert but I'm going to guess they just shoved all of this generation's files on one place and cocked it up (we've got 7 phones models, 2 using a different chipset).

my immediate thought is moving AudioFilter_MSM7227A_U8815.csv somewhere safe and copying one of the other MSM722A files.
Either that or  cracking open the FM radio apk and seeking if we can find a reference to a CSV file somewhere.

The headset volume is also far too low. It's a shame we can't find the settings as there's obviously a software limit somewhere.

I've done comprehensive testing with various music apps and background EQ solutions but the sound still distorts badly above the limited level.

Shame as other ways this is a spectacular phone for £100

Does anyone know what the audio chip in this phone is?

i think finding out how the fmradio app works will be key to fixing this

[goodfella123]

Posted this again in case some of you aren't watching the other topic.

Bit of a long shot this and i can't try it as i'm at work, but could someone try downloading an fm radio app from the market.
It would need to be one that works without the earphones plugged in ( i know, i know, they act as an antenna! ).

Just wondering if the same volume results can be achieved using the radio method but without having a 3.5mm jack permanently plugged in.

Please let us know.

[bumps]

yeah you are right works with spirit fm radio

[Frankish]

Anyone decompiled the fm radio apk and had a poke around yet? I've got weekend off after tonight and hopefully buying phone tomorrow so will have a poke myself!

[PaulOBrien]

I have... nothing super obvious but a few things to try...

[KasioPC]

I don't know if this can be reproduced, but I've managed to keep loudspeaker levels at normal level. I opened up the FM radio app, then played a song. I then pulled out the headset and the sound remained. It has persisted through several reboots as well, although the phone I believe doesn't go off properly.

[bumps]

you have fastboot on?

[KasioPC]

I do have it on, so that will most likely be why. Although I have pulled the battery to make sure.
