Weird Buzzing Sound From Speaker - Galaxy Ace S5830 General

I was using Gingerreal 1.1.0, based on KPN and yesterday noticed a weird 'bzz' sound when playing music (stock music player, then winamp). Thinking it was a GR bug, I flashed a fresh, stock KPN and still notice the same distortion. This happens even when listening to ringtones, in the system app. My question is, is this common at volumes of 10/15? Or has my speaker gone bad, and I need to get it checked? I use 320 kbps mp3s, so the quality of the mp3 file isn't in question (happens with ALL my songs).
Thanks!

It happens to my mp4 player, computer and phone. It should be either the jack getting old, or the disk drive getting old. just a guess! Because i've searched google which turns up no results.

I've had it ever since the day I got my Ace . I'm still thinking whether it's an antenna problem or speaker fault .

I meant my loudspeaker. The in-call sound is most likely carrier dependent. Even my bootsound is surprisingly loud. And thus distorted. Time to get it checked?
PS. I should revert to the stock Asian Froyo before visiting the service center, right?

Yes , the sounds came out of my loudspeaker too .

So you say it is normal? But shouldn't the sound be normal even at the maximum specified volume? What's the point of having levels till, say 15, when only till 9 the sound remains clean?

You may have harmed your speaker previously .

That's what is even more surprising. I've barely used it. All the side stickers are still there. And I usually keep it on vibrate. Sucks really. You take full care about scratches and stuff. Then this happens. And the service centres will probably ruin it. Happened with my PSP, iPod.. :/

You could try going into service mode and changing the pre-amp in the sound settings .
To get into Service Mode , download SamServMode .
BE CAREFUL ON WHAT SETTINGS YOU SET THERE .

Ooohh.. SamServMode downloaded from the market?

Can anyone confirm if their speaker doesn't buzz at loud volumes? I want to be sure before I claim my warranty at a service centre. People here in India don't always accept claims..

I think you're referring to lags. I get sounds as if there's something that's on the speaker filament, and touching it. BTW, what do I change in the Service Mode? I tried rebuilding speaker values, set pre-amp for MP3 something and speaker to 0 db. No effects. It really is messed up..

Volume Hack?

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.

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.

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!

low sound while calling

hello good day, was wondering if theres any application or modification I can do to my phone to get better calling sound,since every person Ive called with this phone has told me that they can barely hear me, only using the handsfree is when they can actually hear me

Try blowing thru the microphone hole. Hope this helps.
If not, look for a service center to repair this phone's microphone cause its really damaged.
thanks,for you advice,but found it was actually the software

Sound volume?

Does anyone think that the sound volume is too low? Ringing, speaker phone, etc. I feel like everything is lower than previous phones.

This is because of the increasing ring volume.....
You haven't said, but I assume you meant max volume right, as opposed to the above?
If you don't, there will sure enough me a hack ported from SGS2 to SGS3 to disable the increasing ring. Of course root well be required.

Yeah sorry I meant max volume. does anyone know if volume + works for the s3?

I actually think the phone is far too loud... and i dont like how the sound adjustment is in steps and not vairable. even on its LOWEST setting (before its completely off) if it goes off in a classroom or office enviroment everyone around me can hear it.. (the whole class)

Possible broken speaker

Nooo i was in the bath and i always leave phone on tiled side with music on (back facing down as it sounds louder). I do it all the time, its not really near but i must have flicked some water over and its gone into the speaker and its gone really tinny. It also stops playing at random. I know this is probably a little futile but does anyone have any suggestions for how to dry it out (if possible) or if there is anything i can do to sort it out. Cheers

[Q] Mic destroyed

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

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
