Hi,
I have read conflicting info on the status of the volume issue on the X10.
I have a X10 - now running Free X10 2.2 Beta 3 (LOVE IT!).. but the in call volume (and speakerphone) is still atrocious. I'm not after a debate as to whether you have the same problems or not, many people clearly have this problem.. for me it is so bad that I can generally not hear a phone call unless I am indoors and in a very quiet location..
Does anyone know;
a) Is Sony Ericsson actually working on a fix .. or are they just ignoring this. Xperia-x10 quoted last august that SE are working on it.. but it seems a long time for no fix to arrive
b) is this possible to be fixed in a custom ROM.. or is it impossible until the bootloader is cracked.
I have Poweramp, so I can sort of boost the volume when playing music, but honestly this could easily be 20 - 50% louder and then it would be similar to most other phones.
Anyone with anything helpful.. I would be most appreciative.
CheerS!
Hello.
Wait for developers to fix the 2.2.1

I have read that the problem can't be fixed unless the bootloader is hacked, or Sony actually come out with a fix.
Can anyone confirm this. I have read through 300 pages of posts on Free X10 Beta 2 /3 , and there is NO mention of a volume fix in the works.

No problem bro.
hate to say it but I suspect it's hardware limited - I don't think that the earpiece speaker that they've put in (most, if not all of the units) isn't really upto the job - mines better since the 2.1 update, but I still have to have it on full volume.. when I use a headset though, it's fine... in fact I have to turn the volume down a bit.
I had my hearing tested for work, I heard near 0 decibels, I've used the dog whistle app and according to that I can hear 18Khrtz.
It's not "us", It's the phone.
I'm dying to get this solved. My X10 lives in a drawer and I have since gotten a BlacBerry torch ( Which by the way is the most boiled pop-tart of a phone) and the sound is much better.
I still bring it to restaurants and play Angry Birds on it

Since you're new you need 10 posts before you can post in dvelopment (I'm not sure if they changed that or not). What I did when I was new: went ouround in the themes and apps section and just posted some compliments on themes and screenshots.

You should install mean rom 4.2 and then flash dodova 5.4 kernel.. It provides the best balance of performance, stability and battery life. There also weren't any issues with volume on my end. Its so good that even tho ive upgraded to Mean ICS I have a nandroid of that exact setup

Flash 4.3 then flash Dodova's updated 5.4 or 5.5-test kernel separate. The 5.3 kernel that installs with 4.3 gives a lot of people reboots.
4.2 and 5.4 test was awesome for me work great till I switch to mean Rom ics v0.91 all good just minor issue .
it's all good, battery life is awesome!!!!.... now im looking for a rom that is aosp which one do you guys think is best? with large battery duration and good performance duration... Thanks in advance
every time the phone sits so screen off initializes , apparently the phone completely shuts down at some point ..
a quick tap of the power button to activate display and phones boots to htc logo
any suggestions please I already tried turning fast boot back on and that didn't help at all
edit : running meanROM 4.2 - it did it with .2 kernel and still with .4
I have no idea, I get the same thing, apparently that is a bug they haven't fixed. At least my phone reboots once a day tops with the kernel... Let's ser if we can find out!

i hope so and if it's a bug it has to be only a very few people using meanrom that encountered it ..
I dont mean to hijack your thread but this is directly related to meanrom 4.3 and headphones. Have you noticed when using music apps if you plug in a set of headphones it causes the fast forward/skip option to be pressed repeatedly? Im kind of wondering if the headphone jack for our phones has the abilities to use a set of headphones with a fastforword/skip button on them and perhaps its just my jack thats deffective. Just curious if youve ever noticed something similar with your phone.

There is a fork of Mean Rom in the CDMA development forum that removes sense as much as possible. I forget what it's called. On a pure aosp Rom, some stuff is broken so I suggest a desensified Rom instead.

As far as i know, this problem is present in any other CM7 based ROM out there it should be fixed in the next update but i can't work on my streak because of my nice wallpaper (smashed screen).
The only way around this is to use a different ROM like DSC or to fix it yourself
Maybe in a few months i will manage to get the money to buy a new screen, untill then enjoy the ROM as it is

Well, i'm not sure if this fix will work as it says is for ROM's that use aries libaudio, but as i can't test it i made a flashable zip with the libaudio extracted from the the link provided by you.
Just flash, reboot, test, provide feedback, if it works it will be implemented in the next version
Hope this helps/works
I flashed this zip. It mutes the phone entirely without even touching mute button. Can you please look into this and modify the file to mute only when mute button is pressed. Also, I observe some lag after flashing this zip
Thanks for your effort, even though you don't have a working streak with you at present.
I am on LXdroid 0.2, 366 BB, DSC Phoenix Test 4 kernel.

That works but
I use the phone for telecons when away from office. I will be one handed if I keep one finger for 1-2 hours on the mike
Also, while driving need to mute the phone and keep mic on only when I speak to avoid noise/ disturbance to others on the call.
Will wait for a solution...

I am interested in a solution too
Hey,
I am also looking for a solution since long time!
( I had this problem on DSC as well! )
Anyway - just a suggestive work around till we get a working solution zip:
Use a long "headphone"
( I have some creative ones - which are like really 1.5 mtr length wired ones )
Plug them in - and you can listen but- keep the phone in such way that mic is blocked ( I use a rubber band with foam near the mic! )
Classic-Indian-jugaad-solution for you (from Bangalore)
Sony.
P.S. - I DO the exact same thing as you do! TElecons from home / while travelling to home!! :angel: and hence "need" the Mute!
P.P.S. - Now this is not made up - but, I am looking to relocate to Mumbai as well! REAL soon! lol!

Anyways, thanks for the feedback
Custom roms are definitely making streak feature rich and a treat to use. However one of the primary use of the device, like mute during a conversation needs urgent solution.
I genuinely hope it will be solved soon, and till then will continue with juggard ways
PS: I wasn't aware that GB custom rom had a mute issue. After a telecon one of the participant told me that they were hearing something in between the discussion which they should hadn't!

I'm trying to figure where to look for a fix... If i find somethin, i will post it here for testing
From what I have found, there is a known fix for it by modifying the libaudio.so file. I an looking for a way to compile that file for the streak.

Hello everyone, I've posted a thread like this before, but this one's a little different. I have a major issue. It may not be major to others, but its a big deal for me. Let me explain my situation. I feel imprisoned. I want the freedom to run whatever rom that i want on my phone. But the only rom i can run perfectly is Shostock2. It's an amazing rom, with a few tweaks and mods here and there, its the best rom ive ever used. But as an Android user and flashaholic, I want to try out different roms as my daily driver. But EVERY SINGLE rom I've tried has had one infuriating problem, the headphone volume is way too loud on the lowest level. This problem, however, has taught me how to do many things. I've learned how to decompile apks and jars, deodex and odex apks and jars, and edit smali. By learning all this ive tried to fix the problem by myself. I've tried to increase the volume steps from 15 to 30, but i had issues with that since the volume mutes at 16. I've tried running AOSP roms with Fluxxi kernel and used xxTweaker to decrease the volume level, that works for AOSP but i want to run a Samsung rom. So here is where i ask for help, does anyone know enough about the Android system to tell me which file deals with volume control? Or does anyone have a solution to this problem at all? I've tried looking for files that might deal with volume control but the only thing i've found is "AudioService.smali". Which is what i edited to get more than 15 volume steps. I really need some help guys, my poor ears can't put up with loud music. Right now I'm exploring everything in ShoStock2 to find out why the volume control is perfect in that rom and not in any other rom.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Well this sucks, maybe it's just my phone or something. Guess im stuck with Shostock2, which isnt a bad thing since its the best rom ever. I guess i'll try to fix the problem on my own. Thanks guys

Sorry for the late reply. School has started now. But to answer your questions, this problem is with corded headphones, and the volume is loud while listening to music, watching videos, or basically any sound that is playing through the headphones. This problem occurs with all the new roms that ive tried except for Shostock2. This is the longest time ive ever had to stay with one rom. This problem didn't happen on a few roms such as Phone-Bricker and the older AOKP roms.
Hey fellas,
I updated from perfectly working CM9 last week to CM10 now. I set all volumes to MAX in the settings but have the feeling, that it's still not as loud as it used to be. I just received a phone call and wasn't really able to hear what the other person said, because it was just a notch too quiet.
I looked through the first 10 pages of every SGS2 section but couldn't find a fix. So... is anyone else experiencing this? If so, is there a solution to turn the phone sounds up? (ringer, text, alarm, calls, etc)

Maybe CM10 has that issue , go back to CM9 as i used CM9 and it was awesome experience :good:
The only sound issue that I've noticed on cm10 was using headphones...but you can use ex tweaks/stweaks to get a powerful volume using headphones!

CM10 has some volume bugs. If you don't want them the statement made before is true: return to CM9
However you can indeed install another kernel that support extweaks/stweaks to turn the volume up, but in that way you loose support in the CM10 thread.

bummer... I really like CM10 and kind of don't want to downgrade again
I just remembered that with Lightningrom you simply had a fix - hoped to have something similar in this case so that all sorts of tweaking can stay away from me. haha!
