How to increase call volume? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I have noticed that my call volume is not high enough even when it is set to high. When there is background noise, it can be very hard to hear.
Someone know how to increase the volume through the phone so can hear better?
Please let me know,
Thanks.

Yes a search will find all the louder volume posts .

JJEgan, can you help refer to a post you're talking about. I searched this forum using the keyword "volume" and came up with nothing
I've tried voodoo louder and volume+. Both didn't work for me.
I know what WORKED on gingerbread is the secret debug audio menu *#*3197328640#*#* but the audio cannot be accessed in ICS

You could try the Sony Xloud / Beats Zip. It's supposed to afffect all the various sound levels.

[Q] Permanent solution to too low In-call volume on headset

Hi,
I'm on Galaxy S2; Android 2.3.3; KE7.
When using headphones on my device the volume is great for music, videos, youtube, and even skype. However for some reason it's only around half of that level when calling (even tough the volume is set to maximum).
I've done some google research and found out that it's quite a common issue with this phone. A workaround has been found by using some codes. However, it is not a permanent solution.
I've found a post which says that someone had called Samsung and they acknowledged the issue and will send them a new phone where this issue has been fixed.
1) Has anyone found a permanent solution to increasing the volume of the call when on headset?
2) I've also found a post where someone says that apparently Samsung will fix this issue in Android 2.3.4. Can you confirm this? When will this be available? If it's longer than 1-2 weeks I will have to send my phone for a refund/exchange (although I love it).
Your advice on the above is much appreciated.
Hi, I've done some further research and I think I've found the solution:
First make sure that your sound is on (as you can't access the volume settings in the silent mode) -> press the Menu button -> Settings -> Sound -> Volume -> and then increase the 'Incoming call' volume.
I've just tested the call volume when on headset and it has been increased to a more that enough level. Great. My love to this phone is growing
Now I have to figure out how to disable the camera shutter sound....but that's a question for another post...
It seems that the solution above worked for some time but now my phone started to deliver very low call volume when on headphones. Maybe it's due to the Android update, I don't know.
However I found that the issue is related to the media volume. For example when I listen to music and turn the volume low then this affects the incoming call volume and it becomes low as well.
The solution to this problem seems to be: make sure that the music volume is max before you want to make a call. I've just tested it an is seems to do the trick.
It would be great to hear to another solutions to this problem for unrooted phones.
Heard this app works well,

Boost microphone volume?

Heya guys, im getting tired of hearing "Speak Louder" or talking for a while just to notice ppl in silence because they couldnt hear me and have to repeat it all over! Is there a way to increase the p500 microphone volume? I know that in the menu 3845#*500# there is a submenu called Device Test -> Sound Test -> Audio Tool Cal and within this last one several calibrations. Does anyone knows which one to mess with and what to do? The speak louder advice has been in use so far and working with extreme displeasure.
Thanks for the help!

In-call Microphone Vol Issue/running Slim ICS 2.8

I have had this problem with the mic volume, while in-call, i sounded too soft on the other line. Barely audible at times. The microphone records great in other apps, but audio gets distorted when capturing video (for example at a live concert), however it is the least of my concern. I used to run bionix 1.3.1 then ran cyanogenmod 7.1.0.1 and now im running Slim ICS 2.8.
I really want to resolve this issue, I have perused through countless threads and have found no solution. Could this be an issue with the kernel? I honestly have no clue what to do. Help me pls! thanks in advance.
I figured it out! So if anyone else has this issue I hope this may do the trick if its relevant.
Since DSP Manager is installed on my phone I figured the answer may lie in there. And.. it did! It was the tuned audio clock setting, it was 'checked' , even though it says it helps with the sound (which is why I linda ignored it before) but turning it off drastically changed my sound when in call. Now I can be Howard clearer. Hope if anyone has this issue it helps or possibly have a similar setting you can set off that says it "helps with the sound"

First volume level is LOUD!

Anyone know a way to define the output for the volume levels? Basically when you turn the volume from 0 to the first bump up (I.e. supposed to be very quiet), I find it to be uncommonly loud. Any thoughts?

I am curious about this as well. Seems to be more noticeable when streaming video from the web browser.
I've noticed this also. Since all the ROMs so far are bases off of stock, it has affected each ROM I try as well
I've tried lowering sound in equalizer and looking for quiet apps, but not-so-shockingly no one wants an app to make their phone quieter, only louder. As for now, I either connect to a Bluetooth speaker and play that audio quietly or headphones.
I haven't tested this myself yet (but I will soon because it's such a problem) but I've heard that editing the build.prop (relatively easy to do) can adjust the volume levels. There's another thread somewhere around here that discusses doing this. I'll post back if/when I get it to work.
i used to complain how speakers was low on my previous phones,But dna it super loud on low.Like this beast of a phone have bose built in.
Same problem here. The lowest ringer volume level is still way too loud for work.
And with Sony xloud you can make it louder

I also noticed this problem. The first bump of volume is way too loud. Hopefully someo f the custom roms can tweak this to be more reasonable.

I've Searched much about it before thinking open a thread, but I got nothing wich could help me.
Is there a way to boost music volume when using BT Headphones ? I'm on android 4.3 ProBam v4.4.2. tried few kernel ( like boeffla to adjust the sound volume but it doesn't seems to affect BT Sound)
Tried also alot of others version and roms 4.2.2 and 4.1.2 still no good.
the mod wich actually boost a little the volume was Viper4Android. but I got just a "little up" from the level I was.
My question is... is there anything I could do to boost the volume up using BT Headphones ?

There is little you can do about bluetooth volume. Unlike Speaker, Wired headphones etc, these are not limited to the kernel. It is limited by the bluetooth module and it is controlled independently. Whetever you have now, is what you're stuck with pretty much.
in DSP manager on AOSP roms, it's possible with a few tweaks to the EQ, you may be able to simulate a louder volume. People advised me to try things with modified DSP managers. Such as MegaBeats. It increased bass, but didnt give more volume.
Yeah, i was kinda exprectin that.
but yet, thank you guys for your help
