i am running BAMF forever 1.10 . and everything is great except there seems to be a crackle and to much gain .....i will explain my vol is 3/4 up maybe a little less , and when someone is speaking to me it kinda crackles a little . i have to keep my vol 1/2 or lower to stop the noise also it sounds like the pre amp / gain? is to high by just a few Dbs because i can hear .....hard to explain..... OK you know when you have your radio on (home entertainment type) and nothing playing through it ... and you turn it up you can hear a noise kind of the same noise i hearing on my phone ... is this a bug ?? who knows ....is there any apps or anything i can do to lessen that sound by trying to turn the phones pre amp down ..and is it possible ?? any help would be great thanks. oh and yes im sure my speaker is good phone is only 7 days old and it was fine all the way through the vol on the stock rom! thanks again....
Try flashing a different kernel.

Hi, had my galaxy s 2 for about a week and a half now and I'm getting different problems with sound.
2 days after it first started, when somebody called me, they couldn't hear me and i couldn't hear them, even though the sound was turned up to the max. It was the same if i called them.
Ended up factory resetting to solve the problem.
Two days ago it happened again and I just reset the phone again to fix it.
Now, when using swype keyboard its making different sounds, like the sound it's meant to make is there, but when typing certain letters it makes a faint version of that sound. Also, now I have no sound from swype at all, even though sounds are on and volume is turned up.
Is this a phone problem? Software problem (I'm guessing so) is there a fix? Should I contact Samsung to get it fixed?
PS.. I'm only using one non standard app and that is Facebook, and I'm on the stock firmware (latest)
PS2.. My screen is on a angle (Ie.. if you rub your fingers from left to right then at the end you will feel a bump, but if you rub your fingures right to left then your finger will run straight off the phone without feeling a bump) Anybody elses like this?
don't know about the other issues you have, but as far as the very well know "Volume issue" ("they can't hear you, you can't hear them") where volume is nowhere near acceptable during calls, even at max. either you download an app like volume+ (which highers all volume , except handset :-( , I had this phone since the beginning & volume was my issue for a about 2 months. My best advice is for you to update (Flash) to KH1 rom update if you have stock rom, it fixed all my issues with previous roms, and audio isn't very loud, but acceptable.
some tips:
Keep in mind that screen protectors can block speakers (if you have one) and volume can decrease significantly.
Make sure that your ear is placed EXACTLY in the speaker, like if your ear is attached to the speaker (this helped out for me, since I was accustomed to my older phone which used have my ear 1 inch away from my speaker, since it was loud)
let us know what worked for you as well..
Return the phone. The screen should not be like that. Its faulty
Hello, I've bought Galaxy S2 this month and already got it rooted, now I've played with it, before anything, it worked ok, yes the volume wasn't tip top on my headset (Just headphones from audiotechnics), but it was at least bare-able.
now I've played with some settings it told me to go to service mode and change some settings, now I don't know what I've changed exactly but now things are much worse, and I don't even think this is somehow related to the service mode.
I've looked everywhere, tried everything, from equalizers to volume hacks, nothing worked.
What I can tell you is that for SOME reason, I've got LOTS of different headsets + bluetooth, and at one point when I installed... which I think is actually what did the thing is that when I installed CM7.1 which just destroyed it, even just volume on media playback.
So to cut things short, I've tried several headphones and figured out that the headset that comes with the galaxy s2 works just fine, and it makes me think that this issue is somehow related to the many headset profiles I have. But the real question is how do I fix it?!
Any help on the issue would make me smile, because for now, I have to talk regularly or via samsung headset.
Thank you.
Welcome to the low volume world of Galaxy S2. You probably didn't destroyed anything, the headphone volume output is ridiculously low. I have tried many different headphones from stock Samsung, to Sony noise cancelling to Sennheiser top of the world noise cancelling and the volume is still not enough. The best sound I get is from Sony noise cancelling headphones ( don't know the model number, they are around $60.00 in US). The service settings do nothing, they come back to original after one or two phone calls or when you re boot the phone. Are you running 2.3.5? I am reading on this site that the volume is set higher in that firmware. I am on stock 2.3.4. Applications like volume + don't really work, it crashes a lot and doesn't work for phone calls anyway.
Thanks for the feedback mate,
I'm on lite'ning rom right now, it fixed the music volume thing, because that also was a problem after installing cyanogenmod, I guess only time will tell.
Battery life, well I hope with power saving mode it will be better also, but still, I'm used to my iphone, talking through normal headphones
So there's nothing to do but wait?
Try volume + program.. less you raise headphones and speaker volumes on sgsii . Don't know what you are doing but it has never crashed once on mine. You set it and forget it, it doesn't even run all the time

Hi,
I have just switched from an iPhone 4 to SGSIII. When going to sleep I like to listen to tune in radio. The only problem I am finding is that on the lowest volume notch using the volume keys is still too loud for me.
Is there anyway to lower this further?
I totally second this.. I am coming from an age old HTC G1, and i loved how i could have it SO quiet, that i could hold the phone up to my ear at night (the speaker phone side, not the talking side) and hear it just fine but a person laying next to me in bed couldn't tell i was listening to anything.. but with the Gs3 its so loud even at the lowest setting possible that at 4-5 feet away you can hear it.
Not to mention the text alert sound is too loud when I have it at the lowest setting.. On the G1 i could turn it down to the lowest setting and it was quiet enough that if you listened for it you could hear it in a quiet room, but if you weren't listening for it you'd miss it. wish the Gs3 had a little finer tuning on the quieter end
I do that too a lot and the only solution I found so far (sgs2) is to use apps like PlayerPro/PowerAmp for mp3s and XiiaLive for internet radios because they have internal volume control on top of androids one. Gets the volume so low that even at night with in-ear-canal headphones I can barely hear the audio. Not that I do that but still, it's nice to have control of the volume so much.

Poweramp is the only solution I have found but I really like Tunein and that does not have any control. There must be a simple system wide solution. My device is rooted so are there any options?

I'm resurrecting this old thread. I too would love to be able to turn down the volume to as low of a setting as I want. I don't understand why the phone manufacturers don't simply provide that capability!
There is another post here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2565559 on a technique for the HTC One. I haven't tried it on the S4 yet.

Hey, I have a mate 10 pro c432 v148.
Last weekend I decided to go to the water with the phone as it is supposed to be waterproof (not submerged just a few splashes).
Since then the phone was working normally except for one thing, the ear speaker suddenly outputs the sound at a very low volume (it's there just barely ear able).
Is there anything I can try to do to fix it? It doesn't seem like corrosion to me since it's still working..

There's an app on the play store called unclog your speaker.
Activate stereo+ , place the phone horizontally when u enter the app and run it for couple mins.
If your device is rooted then do this : https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-10/themes/audio-mod-root-t3706954 and run the same app I mentioned before ( Be careful not to dmg your earphone speaker with this mod ! I have no idea how long can u run it maxed out with this mod and frankly I'm not interested in testing it on my own device lol ) - it should provide better results and the speaker experience is much more enjoyable with it.

The application solved the charity of the sound so I can understand the words, but the strength didn't change. I'm a bit afraid putting those mods on :/ wondering if the speaker membrane still has water on it even though 3 days have passed.
Thanks anyway

Yw, as for the mod I'd suggest at least using it without pushing the speakers.
As to why is it so quiet?
Idk, is it quiet enough that you can't make phone calls?
It should be working alright after a splash ( Unless u power hosed it ... ) so it might be just ur imagination.
Earphone speaker is pretty quiet, I was tweaking the mod 2day so I took the time to revert back to stock and it can't even be compared...
You have 2 options so far - Follow the guide I sent you or send it to the service.
The file from that guide should at least bring your speaker back to normal.
I guess I totally got used to it that I forgot how bad the Huawei implementation is.
You might run into issues while doing this like I have with the latest twrp.
Lemme know if you need some help! :good:
