Hello i find the S2 when you listen to music not really loud not with speakers not with headphones any way to get the S2 louder on speakers and headphones?? Not with app or such things i tried all and nothing fits my needs.
not my work but it might help you
I found the incall volume to be a little low. When you max out the volume using the volume button it actually only goes to a default setting of 87 out of 100. If you would like to change the default settings here is what you need to do.
call this number *#*#197328640#*#*
This will open the service mode menu.
choose option [5] AUDIO
choose option [1] (VOICE CALL)
choose option [1] HANDSET
choose option [1] Volume
choose option [1] SRC Speech RX Volume
choose option [5] 5_lvl : 87
press the menu button (left side)
choose Key Input
enter a value between 0 and 100, I choose 100 the loudest setting.
press ok
now press the menu button and select back this should save (don't use the right side back key you normally use to navigate the phone or you will quit out of the settings) keep hitting the menu and back until you leave the service mode menu.
You will also note you can change volume settings for other things like bluetooth, head sets, video call etc.
Note: this is not permanent, if you turn off the phone it resets back to the default levels .
not only when you turn the phone off it will reset the phone settings back to the default levels, the new settings will last max 1 or 2 phone calls. Try to make new settings and make 2 calls and check the settings again. Yes the volume on SGS 2 is very very low, and Samsung does nothing about it. I only hope that reports about volume beeing louder in 2.3.5. are true.
i haven't noticed the sound being low on mine, maybe because i am into heavy metal. Could it be the type of music YOU listen to?
also bear in mind, it's a mobile phone and not a hifi system.

Been looking all over and can't really find any info (even in the vibrant bible or dev section) about how to use HAC mode. I found the following instructions on how to set my volume at max (100) using HAC mode, but I am specifically wanting to know if and how to save it at that setting, since when I reboot my phone it resets... also is there anyway to increase the "in call" volume through the ear phone to max? if so, how? Thanks
Dialer: *#*#197328640#*#*
[5] AUDIO
[1] HANDSET
[1] VOLUME
[1] SRC Speech RX Volume
[5]5_lvl : 88
Menu -> Key Input
Change to any number greater than 88 (Max:100)
OK
Press back to save.
Default values:
0_lvl: 63
1_lvl: 68
2_lvl: 73
3_lvl: 78
4_lvl: 83
5_lvl: 88
It will reset after a reboot so be sure to run through it again if you wish to increase the volume level again. There isn’t enough testing done or reports at this time to tell if moving the volume past 88 will damage or blow out your speaker. So as usual if this mod blows out your speaker you are using at your own risk.
There is an option for hac mode under call settings
There was a thread on this. If I remember correctly 100 is a no no. Increase by twos and check it. It might pop up if you search volume, handset volume.
using HAC is kinda pointless unless u are using a hearing aid. HAC stands for hearing aid compatible.
well i wanted to know how to increase my external speaker volume, not the earpiece volume... already figured that out (via the above info) and it works well. it works great even if u don't have a hearing aid, due to just increasing the volume.
I found directions on how to boost the phone in-ear call volume, and the first step is to get to the service menu..
The problem is that I'm running a MIUI rom and the "menu back back menu....." button push that normally brings up the service menu doesn't work.
Does anyone know how to bring up the service menu with this rom?
PS: Just in case this isn't known already, here are the directions:
Follow these steps to allow your phone to use the additional volume from 2.1 upgrade to increase your low-in call/speaker volume.
Try this (for both speaker and earphone, and remeber to manually increase volume during the test)
1) From the lock screen go to service menu by pressing: home, back, back, home, back, home, home, back
2) Then go to service test, to increase in-call volume press >earphone
3) You will hear voice playing, then press > Volume+++ to increase the voice volume.
4) Go back to service test screen, to increase media/speakerphone press >speaker,
5) You will sound playing, then press > Volume+++ to increase the speaker volume.
6) Press back to exit the service menu. Press back again to exit service
7) *** You may also need to manually increase the in-call volume during call to reach new level.(I'm guessing this is a safety measure to protect your hearing from damage)
8) Please post your results. I am interested to see how it is working for you.
Love the phone, all and everything about it EXCEPT the in call volume. When talking on the phone i raise my volume rocker to the MAX and does not make much noticiable difference. Ive done a lot of search and researching but nothing seems to work. I've tried rasing the media volume as well as this liittle work around which does NOT seem to work witht he AT&T version of the GS2 for option #5 Audio:
•Enter this number *#*#197328640#*#*
•This will open the service mode menu.
•Select option [5] AUDIO•Select option [1] (VOICE CALL) *EDIT* -> DOES NOT WORK ON AT&T GS2?
•Select option [2] HEADSET
•Select option [1] Volume
•Select option [1] SRC Speech RX Volume
•Select option [5] 5_lvl : 87
•Press the menu button (left side)
•Choose Key Input
•Enter a value between 0 and 100, with 100 the loudest setting.
•Press ok
•Then press the menu button and select back this will save (don't use the right side back key you normally use to navigate the phone or you will quit out of the settings).
•Keep selecting the menu and back until you exit the service mode menu.
You will also note you can change volume settings for other things like Bluetooth, handsets, video call etc.
Anyone experience same/similar issue and found a work around for it? Will getting a new/replacement phone help at all?
not to throw this off topic but when I received a call last week I was listening to music from either pandora,beta music player, or just the music player and when the call came in I answered the call and the music didn't stop and kept playing as I tried to talk to the person on the other end I finally had to end the call quickly,

Try AudioBoost SGS2 from the market It will definitely makes a difference. You can control the amount boosted. Too high you will experience distortion.
Service Mode Not Working on ATT GS2
I have the same problem with my ATT GSII. Earpiece volume is not enough even on maximum volume. And the SERVICE MODE does not seem to function properly. Did you find any solution?
Try Voodoo LOUDER - works good on rooted i777. Boosts just enough to make the difference.

Thanks. Tried it on my rooted stock ROM (i777). It does change the headphone volume, but not the handset volume itself (which was actually more important for me ).
Hi,
I have the same problem but my phone doesn't recognize the code. It says invalid number or code. How can I fix
Hey all,
I've been looking for this problem now for a few days @ google / xda but i couldn't found a solution.
Things i've already tried.
Apps: Audio booster, Volume + DSP Manager.
Servicemenu:
call this number *#*#197328640#*#*
This will open the service mode menu.
choose option [5] AUDIO
choose option [1] (VOICE CALL)
choose option [2] HEADSET
choose option [1] Volume
choose option [1] SRC Speech RX Volume
choose option [5] 5_lvl : 87
press the menu button (left side)
choose Key Input
enter a value between 0 and 100, I choose 100 the loudest setting.
press ok
The problem is with the servicemenu.
I can select everything but when i reach the step:
5_lvl: 88 i get the following things on-screen:
-NB_Handset-
SRC Speech RX Volume(DEC)
Input?
Whenever i press the menu button i don't get the white popup bar where i could edit the volume lvls, it just shakes like when i usually click on the menubutton but nothing happends really it just trills not more.
I tryed pushing "Input?" first then the menu button but nothing really happends.
Tried everything.
Is there someone with this same problem or with some tips or tricks??
Using:
Samsung Galaxy S2 (i9100)
Cyanogenmod 7 (3.2.7)
If no-one has some ideas i will try a new ROM.
Using CheckRom Revo HD 4 (2.3.6), Siyah Kernel 2.6.5 and DSP Manager audio is loud enough. Using Supercurio's louder, audio volume is TOO loud.
But, what headphones are you using ? Stock or something else ?
I'm using some Gear4 headphones what i also used on my iphone.
tried it with sennheiser/creative/dre headphones all the same volume
what do you suggest to do? audio is quite important for my training,traveling.
level increase
after pressing level 5 you should get input ??? show up on screen. Press the button on the left hand side of phone, not menu or back button. You should get a pop up screen with various options, touch the key input option and then you input the volume you want to increase to e.g 100. then exit.
thats what i do and it works for me.

On the left side on my phone (s2) i have the volume buttons, if i press those the volume just go up or down.
Other button on the right side is the lock/unlock button that also don't work.
What button do you mean cause i tried al buttons, (screenshot of the button maybe? )
Try the app in my sig. Only boosts headset/headphone volume (significantly tho).

NP ;-) Don't forget to thank YahYoh in that thread too. He brought the app to XDA's attention.

Hi,
I have an Elephone P9000 and I just realized the audio comes out only from the right side (bottom of the phone)
Does this phone only have one speaker (mono) or it's just broken and I have to get it fixed?
Thanks,
Gaetano
Is right , P9000 have only One speaker
Gesendet von meinem P9000 mit Tapatalk
The phone has only one speaket built in. The holes in the other side are just for the looks.
This is actually a sad thing to do from the people at ELephone.
Not to mention the photoshop on the pictures to show less bezel.
I can't complain about the phone, but those things bother me a lot.
Is there any way to lower the volume of the phone? In bed I like to listen to talk radio as an fall asleep but the speaker is just too ****ing loud. On my S4 the lowest volume setting was fine, I could put it beneath my pillow and listen. The lowest volume setting on the P9000 is still quite loud so I can't use it.
This sucks, weird situation I know. Any way to change it?
You can change the minimum volume in the Engineering Mode
Fran Montero is right.
If you go to the MTK engineering settings, you're able to tune the volume amplitude for each audio output and for each audio level.
For this, access the MTK engineering by using a specific program in the playstore or by compsing the following code in the phone dialer: *#*#3646633#*#*
In the menu, go to the "Hardware Testing" tab, and select "Audio" in the list.
Next, select "Volume" , then "Audio Playback".
In this new menu, you have to choose which source you want to modify, and after which audio output you're targeting.
Below these 2 settings, you can see a list of 16 indexes (Index 0 to Index 15).
These indexes corresponds to the number of steps you have when you press the Volume +/- keys.
In you're case, you should select "Music" as source and "Speaker" as audio output.
If you want to level down the sound of the lowest audible level of your phone, go to Index 1 and change the value to a smaller one (Mine is set to 88. it could be set to 50 for example).
After you modify it, go completely down of the screen, press the "Set" button, wait for the successful setting pop-up window, confirm it, go out from the MTK Engineering menu and restart your phone to take your new audio value setting in account.
If everything's goes well (and if I'm not wrong with my advice...) your phone should output a sound level less louder than usual in the first volume level.
If you want to change all the audio steps to have a more lean volume curve, feel free to do it as you want.
Just keep in mind that each level can be set from 0 to 255 (0 = Silent / 255 = MAX) and that it's not a good idea to apply the maximum value in one of the settings, as it could harm the audio device output if continuously used at this max level.
To tell you the truth, it seems the default setting of the P9000 is not very clean as I can see that all the Index 15 audio output settings are at 255 value....
I can try to use an Oscilloscope to see if the sound is not distorted by these innapropriate value.
Or maybe the PGA settings has something to do with that. I haven't found the meaning of this setting, but it's probably the value setting of the Gain used for the power amplifier linked to each audio output.
Need to clarify it, but I don't have time now.
Tell us if these advice worked for you.
