Low sound in call - XPERIA X10 Android Development

Hello,
first of all, sorry for my bad english, please be patient.
I´m newbie with Xperia X10i i noticed that the sound of ear speaker are very low, and sometime i don´t hear the person who i´m speaking, specially when im on the street. If i compare with other phones Xperia sounds very very low.
Is there any fix now with root access?
Best regards.

Everyone more or less experiencing the same.. don't think there's really a fix at mo.. Might have to wait for se 2.1 upgrade or a custom rom for any luck..

Low call in volume
sound of ear speaker are very low please do something about it

Can you access any of the hidden menus with a rooted phone?
eg. *#*#4636#*#* , I saw a list of about 20 similar codes one of which let you tinker with the headphone output.

Louder Volume Hack
i think this app can make the in call volume louder im going to try it its for rooted phones only. The app will need extra files according to the maker of the app to make it happen by improving the call volume

Which app is this?
I have heard that with other phones (perhaps the Evo 4G?) that once the bootloader is cracked, the devs can increase the speaker volume...

This does not let you tinker with the output of anything, or even change any settings. All these menus do is let you test parts of the phone.

I know the 4636 code doesn't let you edit anything, there are other codes that work on other android phones which do let you increase the earphone output.

[Q] Low call volume using headphones

Morning all,
Love this phone, love love love. What I'm worried about though is the in call volume on headphones. Doesn't matter whether I'm using the supplied Samsung ones or a set of Sony ones the volume is so low that the person at the other end is in audible.
I have no problems with volume on anything else (as in music player on in call volume using the actual phone)
Anyone else experiencing this or am I just very unlucky.
I've noticed this too. When having earphones plugged in the call volume is just too low. Last night I had to plug mine out and xall again because I couldn't hear her properly. Good point
Swyped from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
this is absolutely the worst news possible, because i make 99% of all my calls with my headset. you guys are saying it is not usable? most of my calls are on the freeway with loud raod noise.
Post on here somewhere secret codes for volume ++

Not sure about volume with the earpieces with mic that came with the sgs2 but my sony earphones volume was quite low during call. I get calls when I'm listening to music a lot.

this app seems to have fixed it for me give it a try it ups the headset volume over default levels.. works fine for my sgs ii
i think you may need to be rooted to use it but not sure
Does it have HAC mode? Setings > Call settings > HAC mode. I set that on my SGS to increase call volume.
+1 on the issue, will try the apk tmo

Same issue and trying the apk now
tried it on my sgs2, and no change to call volume over headphones...

I would like to know about the "HAC" mode to, I wear hearing aids in both ears and it's important to me.

I wonder if this is connectd to another very frustrating problem I've just discovered. When I go out running, I normally have Spotify playing in the background and CardioTrainer occasionally prompting me with updates on how badly I'm doing. Worked fine on my old Galaxy S, now I can't hear the updates over the music because they are so quiet. I've tried fiddling with all the settings, and have also tried Endomondo and SportsTracker and they all seem to have the same problem. Anyone else tried this?

Hey champ, you said this was fixed in the latest update but I just got my galaxy last week from Vodafone Australia and mine has this issue. What update fixed yours and does anyone else know about any fixes?
Fixed? In which update?
Hey,
I have this problem on my (sim-less) SGS2, and no update is available.
Any version number?
i'm having the same problem too. i currently use the stock headset, and am thinking of getting a BT headset as i get calls while driving. tried the app, did not help.
can someone one please help? it will be even better if voodoo sound is developed for i9100. *fingers crossed*
yep. same problem here!
Noticed it as well - on headphones Senn PX 100 II - very annoying (have to plug out the phones each time)
Also noticed the volume problem. The overall voice call quality is not great either. Can someone confirm if the apk. fix helped and if it needs the root access?

[Q] How to make incall voice loader through headphone?

Is there any way to make the incall voice louder through headphone as I notice a significant reduction in the volume in call compared to music go example.

Just for clarification, do you mean "louder" and "compared" ?
Either way I'm not sure, but replacing those makes the question make more sense to me
And if the above assumption is correct, I take it you have altered the volumes individually in settings and are still not happy (voice. media etc) ?
You got me right, I was using swype and I didn't review it.
I have checked the sound settings and it is on maximum, still incall quality is very bad.
I used swype to write this post though.

I have experienced quality issues, but I put it down to network signal.
Hi
I have got exactly the same issue ; no issue to call using the handset (i do not know how to describe it in english) but as soon as I swith to headset, the volume is very low and I can not hear the caller while hearing music, app sounds,... no problem

OK, when in a call, and you push up-volume, does this alter the in-call-headset-volume?
Not tried it, just guessing
No, it says the volume is at maximum

Maybe try with NON-Microphone headset then and see if it's any different. I take it your using stock headphones?
Just a theory but maybe there is a problem with the power flow when it enables the 3rd jack socked band for using the microphone.

Volume Hacks

Are there any volume hacks for the GNote? I searched, but I can only find them for S3. I want louder in call and speaker, but hell i'll settle for louder everything.
Look for volume+ on Google Play. It helps a little.
+1 volume + works great when rooted
Darn it doesn't seem to work with ICS. I'll keep on looking. Thanks guys!
which version of volume + did you have?
I have the full version. I wonder if it has something to do with me having Awesome Beats installed as well.
most likely yes...I only use one volume app..I deleted dsp music and the other music app that most cm 10 roms have..and only install volume+ it works for me and I'm on 4.1.2
Freeze the other music equalizers in titanium backup or whatever you have and go back in volume+ and set the volume to like 4...and reboot...it should work...mine phone is extremly loud..Anything after the setting 4 for loud speaker it gets distorted tthough...hope thid helps
There are many ways of fixing the speaker volume ( Volume+ , Beats , AC!D Audio Engine.... none of those helps with the in call volume... only speakers volume...etc )
But the REAL question is..... Has anyone ever found a solution for "IN CALL VOLUME" ??
Mine ( in call volume ) is acceptable.... but I would really like it to be a tad louder

Try turning on "hearing aid" in the settings. Volume+ paid FC's on my rooted stock 4.0.4 so I don't even use it.

[Q] GB - How to increase Speaker volume (editing in Rootexplorer, not with apks ON)?

Hey People.
How can i increase the volume of the speaker? Safely and without distortion, by Editing and not with apps running on the phone all the time.
It's like these, i'm using Gingersony v06 ( yes i got back to Gingersony after 3 days of being on the Original Stock Eclair, that Blue color on all the Stock Eclair is very annoying :S ), and people tell me that they can't hear me clearly when we are in a Call, and i don't hear people as well ( at least not loud enough ).
So that's why i wanted to increase the volume in order to hear loud and for the others to hear me loud 2.
Good answers will always get a Thanks press button
Ps: just an add, if someone knows how to get better audio quality as well ( because when hearing music, i can hardly hear clear the vocals ) then please tell me

I don't see the download anywhere in that thread, and it says it's for Mini, mine is Mini Pro, will it work?
But by the name 'Beats', i guess that must be the Xloud+Beats thing.
I used that thing some time ago but in that time i didn't see any change in the sound at all, but maybe i had a wrong version of it, because some players didn't work with that installed.
You know where i can get the fully working version?
Ps: that beats mod, did it change your sound quality at the point that you can hear the vocals clearly when playing music?, because it's a bit annoying to hear great/loud Instruments and then the voice looks like it's far away from the song :S xD

Try DSP-Manager with eq 'vocal boost' preset enabled, or play around with the viper4android APP (the best sound quality/loudness enhancer APP in my opinion ).

Dsp Manager i personally don't like it because for me it's the same thing as an Normal equalizer, i tried all presets and effects but there's always something wrong, if using effects for more vocals then the sound will loose Power 'instruments will sound with much less power, not very good to hear' to obtain that, about the viper4android i don't know if it's good 'i only used it once in your rom but with a bug of stoping/starting music so i quit' but maybe i'll make another try, sincerely i don't think there's a solution for the vocal problem on the songs without changing the sound itself or having Less Power

In Call Volume Boost w/ Root

Now that we have root for our Z3v's... I've been playing around with trying to find/edit the files that control our phones speaker volumes (both in call earpiece volume and speaker phone volume). I don't necessarily need to increase the speaker volume for playing music because most of the time I'm using bluetooth, but I'm sure a lot of people would be interested in that as well.
I'd like to be able to just modify the phones system files rather than use some sort of booster app.
From what I'm been able to find, the file located in /system/etc/ called mixer_paths.xml is what our device uses to control volume parameters. I've seen where other devices have had these types of files modified in order to boost max volumes.
Is this something we can do with our phones? The in call volume, both earpiece and speaker phone are just TOOOO quite for me.
This is about as far as I can comfortably go as I'm not a developer/programmer.
Anyone out there comfortable helping out with this idea? Is it possible.

I also would like to know how to increase the volumes
I think it's almost comical how low the audio levels out of the headphone jack are. I don't know if this can be fixed or what but even playing at full volume it seems too low.

I did flash the sound mod through recovery but it only boosted speaker volumes, not in call volumes. I used the one without Dolby.

Wow so we can flash .zip files in recovery now? Again just making sure, just rooted and there isn't a ton of info out there for our device atm. Thanks in advance
I flashed it in the dual recovery as well. Just make a backup first because the zip they have to take it back to stock isn't for our phone. In other words if you ever want to go back you should wipe & reload the backup. And make sure you don't install the lollipop version.

Does this mod increase speaker volume in general? Like listening to music?
