I am hearing impaired and wear hearing aids in both ears, and was wondering if somebody could comment on the volume levels of the ringtones and notifications on this phone. I tried the HTC Inspire 4G but I couldn't hear it.

It's LOUD. I rarely have my phone on full volume now. A total contrast to my HTC Desire.

do you notice the difference in speaker quality/ volume versus galaxy s 1?
and how is the earbuds?
Yes, i also want to know how is the quality and the power with the headphones (in-ear). Do you compare it to an ipod or to a Cowon Iaudio for example (would be perfect...). Just tell me if its good quality and powerful enough.
I got round to trying out the headphone volume for the first time last night and have to say compared to the SGS I find the audio volume to be quite poor.
With the volume up to the max it is only just acceptable.
On the SGS if I turned that to max it would have hurt my ears.
I have tried it on various Media players all with the same effect.
Has anyone else noticed anything similar?

50% of volume level through stock headphones loud enough for me .
100% far far to loud .
Thats on original stock through to KE7

Yes... I have a sneaky feeling I may have a problem with my SGS2.
I have asked a few colleagues at work and they all agree the volume from both the Headphones AND Speaker is quite poor.
I have now purchased Volume + (Sound Boost) and tried increasing the levels but with no success.

Agreed. I'm comparing it to my iRiver H340 which is unfair but the GSII sounds pretty s**t through my Shures, low volume and overall bad dynamics. This wouldn't bother me in the slightest in regards to MP3 use as I have never used a mobile phone as a music player, there isn't a phone in the world that can compete to a proper music player, especially with Rockbox installed like my iRiver. However, the bad volume and dynamics also effect video playback, both in terms of Youtube and local video files. I did a direct comparison between my GSII and my brother's Desire HD with the same Youtube music video and my Shure E2C earphones last night and to say the Samsung was found wanting is an understatement. That does bother me.
Anyone aware of a way to increasing the volume at the very least?

Had a look at this... boy was it confusing. There is a mountain of settings which made absolutely no sense to me.
I tried the method you kindly mention but it didn't seem to follow sorry.

I see it requires root.
This is something I have yet to do. Don't want to do it until I have the SGS2 sorted.

Absolutely no problem... and if you feel happy enough about it a thank-you will also see £10 coming out of my wallet for my nursing staff.
They check my profile at the end of each week. This week so far they will be tearing £20 (I think) from the leather.

Really...... Interesting as it says at the top of the topic ~ "You must be Rooted…Make a Nand Backup before flashing…I’m not responsible for problems. It should work on any 2.2 ROMs…YMMV"

Hi,
Just wanted to ask a guick question, when I am using my phone and open any app, turn on bluetooth, gps etc I get a very quiet hum for about a second or two from the external speaker. Has any one experienced this with there galaxy ace?
If not i'll contact samsung and see what they say.
Thanks
This is normal for me

Same here. It's a mix of a very low volume hum and static noise.
It's done that from day one on stock rom and all custom roms i tried so far.
I guess it's hardware related.
Both aces have that.
Thanks for the reply guys good to know me phones ok.

I have the Mecha ROM with the correct radio but lately when others call me or I make a call the phone works but they cannot hear me. Does anyone know what to do to fix this? I have reinstalled the radio and Rom but no luck. Looking for any help please.
Thanks.

Quite possibly your microphone could be going out. Is there any chance of this?
A microphone can easily go bad because of even the slightest water damage.
To check for sure, flash another ROM and see if the issue still exists.

I am having the same issue. The Mecha release is a great Rom but when I call someone or they call me I get to hear them but they can't hear me. Use a different Rom and everything works. Anyone know what will fix this?
Sent from my ADR6400L using xda premium
no matter which rom I use people can't hear me. When using sense roms people can hear me when on speaker phone. Using cm10 I am super quiet regardless being on speaker or not.
Could my mics possibly be mixed up some how?
Please please please help me out with any possible ideas or advice!
