Something has happened to my x10. The sound has somehow switched from the speaker to only the earpiece. I cant hear anything from the speaker at all.
Is there something I can do to get the sound back on the speaker? Be default, the sound should really work on the speaker on default for all media unless earphones are connected and all calls on the earpiece. Currently everything is working on the earpiece only.
What has gone wrong here?
Lets first check out, if its a hardware or software failure.
Go to the lock screen and press: "menu > back > back > menu > back > menu > menu > back"
Now you're in the service menu.
There you hit "Service tests" and "Speaker".
Make sure to gain Volume to max.
After you tried that out, we'll continue in searching a solution

I found directions on how to boost the phone in-ear call volume, and the first step is to get to the service menu..
The problem is that I'm running a MIUI rom and the "menu back back menu....." button push that normally brings up the service menu doesn't work.
Does anyone know how to bring up the service menu with this rom?
PS: Just in case this isn't known already, here are the directions:
Follow these steps to allow your phone to use the additional volume from 2.1 upgrade to increase your low-in call/speaker volume.
Try this (for both speaker and earphone, and remeber to manually increase volume during the test)
1) From the lock screen go to service menu by pressing: home, back, back, home, back, home, home, back
2) Then go to service test, to increase in-call volume press >earphone
3) You will hear voice playing, then press > Volume+++ to increase the voice volume.
4) Go back to service test screen, to increase media/speakerphone press >speaker,
5) You will sound playing, then press > Volume+++ to increase the speaker volume.
6) Press back to exit the service menu. Press back again to exit service
7) *** You may also need to manually increase the in-call volume during call to reach new level.(I'm guessing this is a safety measure to protect your hearing from damage)
8) Please post your results. I am interested to see how it is working for you.
Recently I've noticed a problem that I most certainly didn't have before. The problem is that the in call volume keeps going down to around 50% with every new call. When I receive or make a call, the in call volume is around 50%, which is not enough for me. So I make it louder to 100% and can talk just fine. Unfortunately, with a new call the volume goes down again to the same default volume around 50%, which means I have to turn the volume up every time I receive or make a call. This is really annoying. I'm absolutely positive that I did not have the problem before. What might cause the problem and what can be done about it?
P.S. Settings >>> Sound >>> Volume - all the sliders are on the right.

Go to Phone -> Call settings -> My Call sound.
You can try this. Or use the extra volume button when calling someone.

I have tried that (both checking and unchecking the option) - the problem remains. The extra volume button is not an option since tapping it every time is even more annoying than increasing the volume with the Volume Up button.

As a last resort, I finally did. It worked. Luckily, I had a two week old nandroid backup, so, hating to restore all the apps and settings manually, I just fell back to that backup. It appears that I did not have the problem in question two weeks ago, so after restoring from the backup I got back all my apps and settings with no in call volume issue. But it is still unclear what caused the problem and how to fix it if it pops up again.
you have to set the volume to 100 in audio settings, doing so will save the settings. also you can get some extra volume by going into dialer call settings and tick "use extra vol for calls"

But "extra volume" icon is not activated for next call and have to re-tap it to enable again. That's bad.
When i listen to music with Apollo or any apps with DSP Manager enable sometime I've a problem.
There nothing happen, no effect at all.
Then I change a track... its gone BOOM! media volume get to maximize level (Yeah... when I'm on a headphone, it was a freaking pain )
When I lower my volume then its jump back to normal level.
Like these > I set media volume to 5 >Listen to my awesome music > Enable DSP > No Effect > Skip track > Boom it go to level 15 > Lower a volume via volume rockr one click > Back to Level 5
I don't know what really happen there as I've said above "sometime" But after the 1st error this problem still persist.
I've Clear Data Of DSP apps,Fix permission, Factory Reset. Nothing seem to fix.
I've Try some Rom, like CM9.0//CM9.1//CM9 b20121028//Rootbox ICS 1.8//Some other ROM (I can't remember)
mostly on Siyah and Dream Kernel.
And for Rootbox thats used MusicFX, Its give me unsatisfied result (sometime its same problem.No effect But no media volume jump)
So if there any fix for this problem? or I'm need to stuck with Sammy Rom forever (And I hate Touch-Wiz )
And sorry for my English, If it gave you a headache (LOL)
!BUMP!
hello ...
i have a GT P7500 and after updating to JB 4.1.2
i´ve noticed that the volume through headphones
is too low ... is there anyone with same problem ???
is there a solution to this issue ...
i went through settings and could not find option
to control or to activate or check or whatever ...
need help ...
thx
I'm on jb 4.2 now, but i'm guessing you have the 'safe headset volume' in your settings, so go to
Settinhs > sound > safe headset volume > uncheck
Other than that, go to your DSP Manager app, then go to WWM8994 or something like that, if you open that, you see 'headset volume' turn up the amplifier level until you reach the sound level you want.
Hope this helped

Thanks for the tips. I don't have a "Safe headset volume" under Settings > Sound. However, I do remember it asking me the first time I used the headset plugged speakers and did uncheck it then.
I also have headset volume turned up under WWM8994.
I can get somewhat higher volume with Volume+ but it's so distorted that I can't listen to it. Again, this was fine under stock ICS. Something is amiss, I just can't find the right combination.

Check the other options in your dsp manager, if the issue is not there, try to reflash or contact the developer

is CM 10.1 really that buggy? im planning to transfer to aokp
1 - In the car sometimes it adjusts the bluetooth volume to like half. When I try to turn it louder it gives me a message about playing at too high volume, blah blah.. I don't use a headset, so I would appreciate the message going away for good.
2 - I had a cigarette lighter adapter for the car, but I found out if it's in use, it blocks the radio and makes it static. So I started plugging my phone in to the car's USB port. After about 15 or 20 seconds it minimizes whatever I am doing and pops up a message about not being able to access data on the computer. Any way to disable that? Annoying because I have YouTube full screen playing then I have to hit a button to get that message to go away.
#1 I figured out. Settings -> Sounds and Vibration ->Volume -> Three Dots -> Media volume limiter -> Turn On -> Turn limiter all the way up
#2 still no clue.

Oh f*** in france i don't have the " three dots " on Volume because it's a limitation and a security
Here -> https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s9-plus/themes/app-volumewarning-reverseprotrait-t3778873
just tried the 3 dot customizing the limiter and it worked. Thank god...

#2 - try a different car charger. That solved this problem for me in the past.

For some reason it doesn't work on mine, I turned that feature on and then set the volume all the way up, but it still makes me confirm turning the volume up everytime I reboot. my phone is also originally a Verizon S9 plus but I'm on the T-Mobile version of Pie.

Oddly mine worked the 1st time I activated it and then after that it stopped working.... Sorry I guess it's a Sammy issue...

Thank you so much! (Update: That only works until the phone is restarted; once it's restarted, you'll have to do this again.)
Fortunately, after spending over an hour in the settings, I found a way to do it permanently:
Enable Developer Options
In Developer Options, search for Absolute Volume, then turn it off.
If you've never turned on Developer Options, you can do so easily by:
Go to the Settings page
Scroll down and select "About Phone"
Tap on "Software Information"
Locate "Build Number"
Tap on "Build Number" seven times in rapid succession, then enter your PIN

Thanks for this! I thought this was finally gonna be the solution but I'm STILL getting the high volume warning every time I reboot!! I'm on the latest U1 update, CSAA. So now I have the media volume limiter turned on with the volume all the way to the max, AND I have disabled absolute volume in developer options.

Same problem here.. no 3 dots showing. However found a solution:
1. download QuickShortcutMaker from play store.
2. Search for "media volume limiter" (it's under settings)
3. Click try.
