Can anyone with 2.1 check for me to see if the sound on the xperia is louder now please. I know Sony said they're knew about the problem and were going to make it better, I just want to know if they did.
It is louder IMO after 2.1 update.
ive yet to test the sound will update as soon as i test it

Mine is slightly better
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Yes, much better. However, I've noticed that there is some noise for the person on the other side of the call
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
I seriously think the volume issue is hardware related, I have never had a problem with mine on 1.6, but the 2.1 update cranked it up, I keep my volume at 50% as full volume would make me go deaf. I was talking on my phone under the L tracks with a train going by in Chicago today, no place is louder, I heard the person fine.
How do u guys hold your phones to your ears?
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Umm.. Its not any louder for me, but that annoying static is gone.
I rang my mum who has a really ****ty phone line and for once the call was crystal clear.

I find it a little bit louder,not much...Works fine for me
There is no noticeable difference since the update it is still one of the worst phones to make and receive calls on I have ever owned, I also own a galaxy s which is way better to use to make calls on ie crystal clear and very loud.

I had the Epic Touch 4G for about a week until I had to return it (Sprint really sucks in my area). Anyways, as with most Sprint phones, the earpiece volume is pretty damn loud. Since getting my SII on AT&T, I notice a huge difference, and I was wondering if there were any hacks to make it louder. My phone is rooted, and I'm not opposed to getting a custom ROM if need be.
Thanks

Oh this is the perfect thread to find out something that is been bothering me.
IF you still on the ATT stock rom. what kind of head phones are you using? 16ohm, 24ohm, 32ohm, 64+ohm?
Because in the CM7.1 forum, we are having some issues where the 16ohms headphones are playing SUPER loud.
SO... if you happened to have some cheapy 16ohm headphones and you are not getting super loud volume please let us know in the CM7.1 nightly forum?
Thanks
PS: *I* believe that the stock rom has auto-impedance, but CM7.1 doesn't which causes 16ohm headphones to play super loud while 32-64ohms headphones play @ "normal" volume. But this is just a theory...

Are you actually able to get it to work got the GS II? I downloaded it but it never asks for root and doesn't make anything louder, no matter what settings I use.
Sent from my Galaxy S II using the XDA app!
I tried Volume+, but I don't think its what I was looking for. I am not having a volume issue with the main speaker, but rather the earpiece speaker you use during a regular call. I was able to get a louder audio playback via the normal speaker (listening to music) but saw no improvement during a call.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA App
I'd love to have a viable solution to increase headset volume as well. I'm using a wired headset if it matters and I'm on gtg's UnNamed Rom. I tried volume+ and noticed it said it doesn't work on stock roms and I know we're running a slightly modified version of it so...
But yeah, didn't notice any volume difference in headset or speaker.
Its a known issue with Samsung phones,Galaxy s1 phones had the same problem!
What I don't understand is how the Sprint version of the phone was so drastically louder than the AT&T version. Its like the hardware is capable, but they are holding it back.

I have stock rom with root. Idk if its just my phone or what - I'll have to test my friends phone now, lol. And yes, I do need the volume quite high as I am rarely in quiet environments
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA App
My volume is also low on my phone. Headphone volume is loud. I believe the perception Rom has loud call volume.
For my first few calls, the volume seemed to be too low. Then I noticed that if I hold the phone lower, it is much louder. I guess the earpiece is so high up on the phone that holding the phone in a natural position doesn't put the earpiece in the right place in my ear.
volume boost gets my vote.
I've been searching for a volume hack for two weeks. Im rooted and on unNamed ROM. The volume has been much lower than id like on both stock and custom Rom . I've tried volume+ but doesn't do the trick.
Can someone PLEASE provide a solution for this. ie. modify file in root explorer, or some other hack.
there is audio boost sgs2... but it will probably drain battery as it polls on the volume to constantly make it "louder". its a cheat hack.
I also think the incall volume is really low as well, would love if one of you devs could come up with something.. Donate donate donate!

Yes, I wiped 'em all.
I agree, call volume is very low. Sometime, when the other caller is with a fix line it is allright, thought i would like to be able to keep one "up" volume in case of; but most of the time, the volume is really just enough to understand.
At the contrary, playing music over the headphone is quiet good, sometimes (most) too loud! Why on earth is the volume of the sound different when listening to music against a voice call???????????? There are horses demanding to be free....

There was a genuine issue with call speaker volume in the 2.3.7GB firmware, that was fixed with ICS.
Call volume it's now loud from my SXS.
Keep in mind some telephony devices that ppl use will be low and poor quality by default. The only way to fix that is to ask them to use a dif device.

My earpiece is loud enough to hear it on a noisy boulevard - the only thing quiet on the Xperia S is the speakerphone - it doesn't use xLoud and sound volume is a bit low during call... .453 firmware.
Agree. People hear me loud and clear and via the earphones it's good, but I have to press the phone to my ear so hard sometimes that it leaves a stripe...

Not to sound like Steve, but you're holding it wrong. Try calling a free number and move the phone around your ear a bit. I've noticed I had to hold the phone a bit lower then I usually do to hear the caller loud (plenty loud) and clear.
Mine is generally ok, it seems to be quieter with certain people so I'm a bit confused lol
I would agree that speakerphone is too low, seriously weak.

The position i have to hold it in doesn't quite feel natural, but if I look in the mirror it looks normal so I'd assume it is a small adjustment

I did the update to ICS and the problem continues, what else I can do
I am having the same issue & i am on GB .73. I can not update to ICS seeing as Rogers wireless has not released the update yet here .
I wish the call volume was a bit louder. I downloaded the Volume+ app but it keeps forclosing so i am a bit upset about this. Hope with the ICS update they give us a louder call volume
Hello good people of XDA!
I'll just get straight to it, well basically due to some water damage the main mic on my s2 is screwed, it just produces weird static for the other person to hear on call. I intent to get it fixed soon but just havent found the time. I believe there are two mics on the S2, so I was wondering: is there some way I switch to that for phone calls, for the time being?
Im rooted btw
Could you share your rom details for further advise
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Im not aware of any but there could be some hack to enable it as the primary microphone. Its the noise cancellation input mic. Its located at the top right side of the phone besides the audio jack. Would be hard to talk into it and hear the other person at the same time, wouldn't it?

I use, mic-less earphones (ear buds or whatever you call them ) so thats not a problem. A hack of that sort is exactly what I am looking for ^^
I know I could just get some earphones with inbuilt mic but If im going to do that, I might as well get my phone fixed instead
bump?
Anyone?
why don't you simply repair it? Or you like your phone being crippled in this way...
Im out of town and in a place where i cant find a reliable place to fix it, im going back in like 4 days. So just need a simple hack for the moment
All volumes are great other than incall volume. I tried xloud and it helped a tad but its still pretty low. Is this something that can be tweaked with a custom kernel? Big difference coming from my note 2.
Mines had very low sound, from the speaker on top,, it turned out ,it was not working like the lower one,, took it back, they me a new one

i don't think its a defective device as every htc ive ever owned had this issue. i cant take mine back anyways as i unlocked the bootloader. people in the international one forums are reporting it to, its not super low, but low enough while in a crowded room or whatever.
Hi all,
I just got the Z2 for my fiancé as she wanted the best camera in a phone. All is going well except for call quality.
She hears everybody just fine but people complain that they can't hear her well. I've been reading online and some people are having the same issue even after replacing the phone.
Is it something to do with positioning the mic or could be a faulty hardware? She has an average (small) female face/head size. Could it be because the mic is just too far away from the mouth? Or something to do with noise-canceling mic?
EDIT: updated the phone to 402 and still she still has the same issue

It could be caused by faulty SIM card
I one had this issue with another device and I was using a normal sized SIM cut to fit micro sim slot, one I got it replaced at my operator then all went marvelous
It's a proper so card so not sure it's that but I will test another just in case
