During call, people on the other side are complaining they can't hear me loud enough unless i talk REALLY loud.
My phone is not rooted and I'm looking for a solution without rooting it.
A google search came up with this code: *#197328640#
but I couldn't find the proper settings to define , and where, to boost the mic sensitivity.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Edit: Something got screwed up now and I can hear myself as I talk.. very loud.. darn.. I put everything back to default, but still..
bump
really need help with this one.. mostly with the echo, its extremly annoying..
That code is for boosting the Earpiece volume in call and other volumes too but there is no code to boost up the mic. So try to disable the Noise Reduction feature to Off in a call by pressing Menu, see if it works.

It doesn't help for boosting the mic, but it does help for the echo.
Anyway I didnt have an echo before I messed with those settings..
Other ideas?
both of my problems are important for me now, so please try to help both..
You messed up with that code? Then just do a restart, everything will be back to default values. And about the low mic volume, I really can't say mate.

I said just restart, turn your phone off and turn it on, all the settings will be back to default.

Basically when I get a call, my ringtone starts quietly, and quickly increases the volume to max. (max being whatever you set as your ring volume.)
Does this happen on all of our phones? This was not an issue with my G1 AFAIRemember.
Thanks guys!
Its not a bug, its a feature. However I do agree there needs to be toggle options for a lot of little things on this phone, ie: battery notifications.
So as of right now, no. We'll just have to hope Samsung throws a lot of changes into their Froyo update...
All Samsung phones at least 4 which I had this feature so don't worry !

How exactly is this an issue ???? this is the 3rd or 4th thread I seen about this feature.... please explain .,.,,.,.,.,
I did search before I posted, I just did not see any relevant threads.
This is an issue because I personally dislike having this "feature". It was not a problem on my G1, and almost every other phone that I've used has it as a ringer option.
I checked all the service menu's hoping to find something relevant, to no avail lol.
Here's hoping CM fixes this =)

It is, for the most part a Samsung Thing. On all of the older samsung phones, The Ringer speaker was also the Ear piece Speaker. As well as the Speaker phone speaker.
That was done so when you put the phone to your ear and say an incoming call beats your out going call (Happens to me sometimes) The ringer does not damage your hearing.
the only work around for this so far is just to edit the ringtone and insert a few seconds of silence (2-3) in the beginning and then have the ringtone play out normally
Thanks for the info guys. I will try adding a few seconds of extra sound to the front of my ringtones for now.
Maybe this will be fixed with a proper CyanMod lol
I guess that gets rid of the fade-in, but it makes even less sense than before. Not really a practical solution to anything (not trying to flame). You're just going from your ringtone fading in, to not even hearing your phone ring for a few seconds.
I mean unless you like the first 2 seconds of your ringtone THAT much.
That's an annoying feature regardless.
Hiya guys. Yes i am the dumbass who dropped a dumbell onto the galaxy. Phone is now fixed .......moving on
Anyways i get complaints of an echo noise off the person on the recieving end everytime i use a protective case to cover the device, but if i disable noise cancellation everything works fine echo free.
MY QUESTION: is there a way of disabling noise cancellation differently rather than having to do it during a call everytime which can get rather annoying!
Thanks in advance

If you update to KG1 (2.3.4) you will have the option. Once you get on a call and its answered, the icon / option shows up.
Some confusion to whether if its OFF by default and you can turn it on OR its ON by default and you can turn it off.
Anyway, its there once you get on 2.3.4
didn't find the option in any where...
This is the only thing that bugs me about this fantastic phone!

His solution....buy a new case lol.
Its random I guess coz my wife and I also have SGS2 and we use that case just fine.

Im using VillainRom 2.0 and its OFF by default, when you press Menu and then press NOISE REDUCTION OFF, it actually turns it ON.
I think the option is saying that the NR is off, then if u press it, it will be ON.
Tested myself with my brother on a noisy street, sound is more silent when I press NOISE REDUCTION OFF.
I have tried two different cases and both encounter same problem. Arghhhh very frustrating!

If the case covers the bottom area (mic) I think you will have this problem. Be very interested to know if hard reset mat fix
No the area around the mic and charger port are cut open so that cant be the problem

The noise cancellation should be at the top of the phone. Right next to the ear phones jack slot. For my GSII, the Noise Cancellation cannot be disabled permanently. It is always enabled whenever a call is made/received. I've to manually disable it once the the call is connected. Unfortunately I'm still finding out solutions. Will share of course

So, I have to find proper case
Same for me too, with or without case.
Im having the issue, with a case mate tough case.
There must be a system.prop we can change or something?
to the TOP!!!!! this issue is annoying
I have the same problem with noise cancelling and echo, always have to turn it off each call.
Any solution?
already found discusion about this issue in here about one year ago,but no solution...anyone else having the same problem: ringtone volume decreasing itself??
have no any app.related with system volume, and my evo is no rooted, original latest ROM ..
thank you
Just to be sure... Theres a function under sound settings that will decrease ring volume when you pick/move the phone. If you are aware of that, then someone else hopefully will help.
no,is not the issue...no matterif is on or off,volume still mixed up and changing itselfs
Does it happen even when you reset phone to factory default settings without installing anything? Maybe some app is messing with it. Please link me to thread that you've found about that issue.

ther is it my friend:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377266&highlight=ringer+volume
Thats really weird. You should send it to warranty service and ask to investigate issue as it seems to be factory defect. If its OS fault somehow, you can always wait for ICS update and see if it works properly after Im curious about that.
I have a similar issue and I suspect it's the same as yours. I just chose to ignore it though... What I've noticed is sometimes when pressing the volume buttons on the side to increase the ringer volume, it might automatically jump to the maximum volume without anything in between. When it does this, it will briefly act as if it's at max volume. But then go back to being just increased by one level instead. If it makes the in between adjustments on it's way to max volume, then the volume won't "change" on me magically. It is a bug, but not sure why it's there. I've seen this happen on I think every ROM I've tried (which is a handful) and the stock one.
Now in terms of MEDIA volume being different across the board. I haven't really figured this works quite yet, but it seems like media volume is remembered between activities/apps. Volume for my music is always different than the volume of videos I'm watching on a website with the flash player and different than the volume for playing games. This I feel is a feature more than a bug and am happy to have it.
I hope this sheds some light to your problem. I know it's no solution, but might help you identify what's happening to see when the volume does change.
Thats what I thought...just will try to set max.volume in every posible app. and players

Im not using that app...just check system volume settings and ringer level volume is the same as notification volume ..same when you tick :use incoming call volume for notifications..but I didnt...looks like system ignoring separatelly settings for both volumes and using same level no matter if you choose this option..
Hi
I really hope I can find an answer here. My speaker volume during call is too low, especially when I use it during driving.
Apps like Volume+ cannot solve this as they only boost the overall volume, and the results are not good enough (cal vol still too low, ring tome distort)
So I tried to boost spk vol using service/engineering mode menu
Dialed code *#*#197328640#*#* and taped optin 5 - Audio. But nothing happens. I looked it up and it turns out that Samsung blocked the Audio menu for some unknown reason. It also turns out that ths limitation is coded in the modem used. So I changed the modem to onld KI3 (GB modem). Amazingly it worked. Audio menu unlocked and I could change the max spk vol from 88 to 100 and my spkr during call was boosted and sounded just great...
BUT, my signal reception and bat draining is the worst I ever had. Plus, I cannot install a matching RIL because this is a GB based modem and I'm running ICS 404.
So, since the audio menu blocking is a modem related issue, I there any way to patch/hack an ICS modem.bin to unlock the service mode audio menu??? I've searched the entire internet and this entire forum and could not find an answer. There are so many fine and talented devs here, I wonder why no one has found a workaround for this. Is it technically possible to restore the audio menu in service mode? Is where are all these settings saved? I noticed there is a system app named servicemode.apk. Could this be patched? Is there a config file that holds all the menu settings?
I promise to buy a full case of beer to any dev who will find a solution to this. Also I cannot understand why samsung set the max spk vol to 88%and not 100%...?
Thanks
If you flash the old modem, change the volume then flash a newer modem does it not retain the volume settings? It worked with me for WBAMR settings.

Thanks. Already tried that. WBAMR works, but not with audio settings. In fact, even if you leave the old moden, audio settings get reset to default after each reboot... I really don't know samsung so anxious to prevent us from changing audio settings.. And why are they setting all max volume to only 88 or 86%???
To bad no one cares about this and try to do something... There must be a way to decompile modem.bin and unlock it.. I wish I knew how...
Fair enough. I tested it myself as I find the handset volume too quiet in many calls myself. If it was just possible to get into the audio menu then a Tasker script can be used to automate resetting the volume to 100 or whatever after every reboot. It's getting the audio menu that's the problem.
I don't understand wtf it would be locked out, why??!

So no one did fix this nor find a solution? I have used Omega rom for a year, and volume settings did work from STweaks. But after I did reflash on the same rom, same kernel, these setting do not work on in call volume. I mean, yes, ringtones are louder and other sound, but talking on the phone in a bit loud place in pain in....
I don't remember what modem I had, but I always thought it's newest one. Now I can't enter AUDIO menu, and cannot boost incall volume...
This may be because of some APK that samsung has in it's rom. When I installed Omega, "in this time" I tried NOT to install Samsung crap programs, and made thing simple. Maybe that is because of some missing APK?
Please gurus, help me, this is just stupid and making me crazy.
P.S.
This forum sometimes feels like dead one..

Make sure when you are switching from Speaker mode, you switch into "Handset Earpiece", and not something else like a connected Bluetooth. Also, be sure you didn't accidentally press "Mute" to mute the microphone.

Why do you need this? There are probably plenty of other alternatives, but this is most likely not going to be helpful for you. If you want to revert the issue, flash back the stock Lollipop.
