Oh comon, one of my gripes is that the speaker on the EvO is weak ompared to the TP2. he wants a tweaked audiopara...or whatever it is in android...

Doesn't my suggestion work? Maybe I don't understand the Hearing Aid thing?

My mom wears hearing aids so,
from what I understand...

the "magnetic field" messes with the hearing aids somehow, on her home phone they had to put a small magnet to keep the aids from shutting down.

So I am guessing that field does something else then raise the volume...

P.S. her cell doesn't have this issue...

It says right in the menu "Enabling HAC (Hearing Aid Capability) will amplify in-call volume." I'd say that's the setting to hit if it isn't loud enough for you.

I actually was wondering the same thing. The volume on my tp2 was 100's of times better. Is there an adio para type hack or app I can use on my evo?

Wondering, too, for listening to music in my car. I have to turn the car volume all the way up to get it to a decent volume. There is a louder volume hack out there, but doesn't work on 2.1 or higher.

I don't know what's wrong with your Evo's ... I was on YouTube earlier listening to a live performance and it was actually rivaling the sound on my laptop, and I'm not exaggerating. My ears were actually ringing because of the loudness, and I am not sensitive to noise at all. I've yet to find a phone that had adequate volume to me, but this one is pretty damn good.
