I have searched for an app that would allow a hard of hearing person to use earbuds and have the phone amplify the ambient sound to act as a poor man's hearing aid or souns amplifier. Not even sure if this is possible but it seems it might work in theory. Any developers out there know if this is realistic?

View 2 Replies View RelatedThursday Poll: Experiencing Volume Issues With Your DROID X? | Droid Life: A Droid Community Blog
It seems like many people are having trouble hearing their notifications. Is the volume problem really as bad as the poll suggests?
I'm literally on the verge of getting the Droid X but I have a few concerns regarding volume.
1) I use my phone as my alarm
2) I commute via train quite a bit, and not being able to hear the phone would suck
3) Is the volume for turn by turn navigation low also?
Is there a way to have a different notification sound for receiving an email versus receiving a text message? Right now it's the same sound for both.
View 2 Replies View RelatedQuestions about alerts: 1) Is there a way to get your alerts to be sound only? It still plays a sound AND vibrates, and that's driving me nuts. 2) Is there a way for the "native" alert sound management software to recognize imported files for alerts? I've used a downloaded program that will allow me to pick song files, but it's use of them is inconsistent, even though when I go to the setting, it still has the file I chose listed.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI was wondering if anyone that got the OTA has experienced the no sound bug yet. I am currently stuck on leak V3 and several times a week I have to reboot my phone due to the sounds cutting out.
View 2 Replies View RelatedSo the other night I was out and my battery was running low. I was around 12%. I previously made a call around 10:10. The phone worked normally, it rang and such but no one picked up. Around 15mins later I used the phone again to call my dad. There was no sound from the ear piece. But I looked at the screen and it shows my dad picked up. I tried to tell him, I'll call him back. But apparently he couldn't hear me so he kept calling me. I answered the call but no sound was coming out of the ear piece and the mic wasn't sending my voice to him. I tried to call my friend who was with me and the same happened. I turned off the phone and turned it on again and it works properly. Has this happen to anyone? This was the first time occurring. I'm on the 2.1 leak.

I didnt have this prob even on a cheap handset I was using previously....is the volume genuinely low or is it a prob with my handset?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI just did a factory reset on my phone to clear up some lag. It has definitely helped, but I'll wait and see after a few days. Anyway, I'm just about finished putting all of my customizations back, but there's 1 thing I had before that I can't find: When I click on an icon on the desktop screen, or in a menu, I used to have a clicking sound. I remember there was a setting for it, but I can't seem to find it.
View 3 Replies View RelatedAll of a sudden I can't figure out how to disable the notification sound (like when I get a new email). I have gone into sounds and selected notification sound and expected there to be an option for silent among the other sounds but no dice. And I don't see any other way to turn it off. I know it is probably incredibly obvious, but I just can't figure it out.
View 6 Replies View RelatedSo I never had this problem before, and I don't know what I may have changed that started it. Before my eris would play the notification sound within a second of the vibration. Now, my phone lags for about 2 or 3 seconds, vibrating first, then ringing. use the native SMS program, and I don't want to have to download any new apps like chompSMS or anything, I just want my phone to start working again.

View 15 Replies View RelatedSo my wife just tells me (5 days after the last day I have to return my phone) that lately the sound quality when I call her is terrible. She has trouble hearing me and mainly hears a bunch of background noise while my voice is kind of faint. My signal strength doesn't seem to make much of a difference. On my end calls sound great. Just trying to see if anyone else has had any complaints. She claims it was better before. Not sure what's going on but I'd hate to think this phone sounds terrible to the people I am calling.
View 2 Replies View RelatedAm I the only one who thinks the sound quality of the Eris SUCKS? No matter what player I use (stock player, TuneWiki, MixZing, DroidLive, Last, LastFM, Pandora (to a slightly lesser degree)), music comes out incredibly muddled, like I'm listening through pillows over my ears. True of any of 5 pairs of headphones I use (and I'm not about to go out and buy $100 headphones), including through my car adapter.
View 49 Replies View RelatedAnyone notice how pandora clicks when playing. I keep my eris pretty clean (very mild task killer use.... if at all, focusing on apps I added and quit using hours ago) and don't have much running at once, so i don't think its a lag issue. i am usually in pretty high 3g signal areas, so i don't think its a connection issue either.... i dont notice the problem on my pc....
View 18 Replies View RelatedMy wife was trying to make a call last night but wasn't getting any audio. She tried a couple times but with the same result. I told her to reboot and see if that clears it up.
Well first indications of an issue was during the start up it went to the screen with the little Android guy poking his head up from the bottom but the one on the side never came. Then it just looped around and did the same thing. The little droid popped up then disappeared.
So I pulled the battery and powered up again. It did the same thing for about 3-5 minutes then finally came up. I get to the home screen and there's a headset icon flashing in the notification bar. It was confusing why it was showing that when there was no headset attached. I tried making a call but still no audio. I plugged headphones in and the icon changed to headphones and I got audio. When I unplugged it went right back to the headset icon with no audio...
I played with it for awhile, going through settings trying to see if there was something set that was hosing it up. Couldn't find anything. I decided to try some of the audio streamers (Last.FM, Pandora) to see if I could ferret out the issue. Last.FM produced no audio. But when I fired up Pandora, the headset icon went away and audio started coming out. I verified you could get 2-way audio on a call and everything seemed normal.
1. reliability - I see lots of complaints about the Eris but it seems that this is a good phone.. so many good reviews! is this a reliable sound device? ( I am an IT guy so i can handle some problems / glitches )
2. reception - heres the thing.. i live in southern Maine, we currently have two Motorola phones on the USCC network. Somehow despite having good coverage in our area our home is a dead spot for USCC and ATT. My parents have Verizon phones which have a moderate signal ( 2+ bars ).Will the Driod Eris have a descent signal if my parents phone does okay... i am aware i can turn off the mobile network to allow for 1x signal.. ( if i am correct )
I transferred my music onto my phone but im not getting any sound. i looked in my settings and everything looks fine volume wise just still no sound from my music player. any thought? Love the Droid though it the best phone Ive had yet and love all the FREE aps.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm looking for a fast way to simply turn off all sound notifications, except for incoming phone calls.On my BB, there were different sound profiles, and I used to use 'Phone Only' quite a bit.

View 5 Replies View RelatedBack when I got my phone, I transfered an MP3 from the computer to the SD card and selected it as ringtone. it is still there and still works.....but now, after the OTA update, when I go into settings/phone ringtone this sound is not on the list. How do I get it back?
Also, under notifications, in the list of sounds the ones on my SD card are not there. I have a sound stored on the card that I would like to set as the notification. I mounted the card to my computer to verify that these files are indeed on the SD card. The phone just isn't seeing them in the list of available sounds...but, they do play if I go into MP3 or Music app.
