After the ICS 4.0.3 update to my Tablet S I'm observing a change in the feedback sound on tapping buttons, links etc. It now has three levels: silent - low - normal. And it changes, which is quite disturbing to me.
Press the "Back" button and press it once again: You hear the normal sound. Wait 4 seconds and press it again: You hear the low sound. Wait 10 seconds and press it again: You hear no sound.
Can someone confirm this issue? Is it related to the Sony Tablet or is it a ICS design change?

I don't have this issue.
Which build version do you have? There seems to be a difference between countries. I've got Kernel Version 2.6.39.4 [email protected] #1
Build number TISU0077700
I have a issues just like this. But it occurs on the bottom edge of the screen. And I enabled to see touches,
and there are some touches registering automatically and its super annoying cz it presses buttons all the time.
I noticed that mine does this too, but I don´t know if it´s exactly how you say.
I just saw that sometimes it makes a louder click sound than others, or as you said, it doesn´t make any sound
Thanks for your reply. I'm not alone at last
I even tried to find some hints in the 4.0.3 sources, but I'm stuck at finding the correct handler for these events. playSoundEffect has a volume parameter, but this is used rarely. The volume seems to be determined by the device hardware (tuna, herring etc.) and a setting in keypress-volumes.xml.

Is there anyway to prevent the screen going into lock mode when either making a call or receiving a call as this is very annoying when using the sat nav and then a call comes in and then locks the screen and turns it off whilst I am answering it. This of course then shuts off the sat nav ??
Any help appreciated.
Me too! Toshiba must think we are too inept to press the power button.....
I can remember when I got a call and answered on my bluetooth headset whilst trying to navigate
Come on people, there must be somebody that knows how to switch this off, hard to believe that more people dont suffer with this.
It has to be in the registry somewhere, I have had a look and found the settings but I will mess around with it tommorow and hopefully find the fix!
Now to stop the annoying shutter sound on full volume when taking pictures..... lol

Try this (taken from modaco, it worked on mine)
You can't mute the shutter sound , It sounds loud even in silent mode!!! Thats very indiscreet....
I've found two solutions:
1) (Obvious) To edit the file sonority.wav on \Windows
Or to modify the register
HKLM\System\Pictures\Camera\GeneralSetting\ShutterSound
Replace Current (0) for 2 This number links to a file Thunder.Wav that doesn't exist
Oooh the camera one works! I tried changing the volume key to 0 but that didn't work!
I did what you said with the Thunder.Wav and it worked brilliantly! Thank you!
Now screen lock, Press the power button before the annoying screen comes on. Does that stop it from locking?
If it doesn't, try this, when the screen pops up informing the screen is about to be locked, press the power button (basically beat it from turning it off) and press the power button to turn it back on. It seems to work some of the times on mine

Not working for me, the lock message just pops back up again..
incidently the Reg should work as well on the camera issue as thats what I done to get mine working, although as long as it has worked thats all that matters.
Anyone else assist with this issue ?

i think this just delays the lock screen by 22 secs or so... & that the lock screen returns every 22 sec interval thoughout the call...
did you ever find the reg setting for this? do you mind sharing whre you were looking inb the reg for the setting?
on htc i think it's mklm\drivers\builtin\ril\EnableFastDormantDisplayDuringCall
but tg01 does not have this....
cheers
I have tried looking in the registry and I havent been able to find anything!
There must be a way to stop it locking..... and the setting must be in the registry if it only locks after 22 seconds after pressing the power button!
It is very annoying, I just hope the new 6.5.3 rom when it gets released will not have this so called feature.
What were they thinking...

now, what to change to stop that terrible noise when we start and stop video recording?
I'm running the latest version of CM7 RC 1.2. I have a bad problem of hanging up with people while on a call, even though I hit the power button just after answering the phone. I know there's a modification for sense based ROMS in which the end call button can be disabled and instead, have the end call function built into the notification bar (pull down the bar to end call).
Anyone else having this issue and / or know of a fix for this?
See if the following helps:
Settings->Call Settings->Always Use Proximity.
Sometimes orientation can overrule proximity if that's off so holding it between your cheek and shoulder allows the screen to turn on and makes it easy for your cheek to end or mute a call.
I'll give this a shot, thanks!
Hi guys,
anyone else having problems with adjusting the call volume (while in a call) ?
The screen obviously turns black while in a call, and then, the volume buttons don't work for me...
I have to move the phone from my ear, screen turns on, adjust volume.
This drives me nuts !
Any help is much appreciated.
Yep just noticed this today when I was on a call. Seems strange that you can't do that but you can change the volume of music when the screen is locked?
same thing here. hope they fix it

Correct, it does work for music, I have noticed that as well...
What's up with that ?! Isn't it like the very first thing you should check before releasing a phone to the market ?? Even if it's software related (and it is, in this case) at least the Vendors should test this.
And, I know what I am talking about
I guess that with all the technology, it is forgotten, that above all, well... this is a PHONE.
Hope the fix it.
Ive also noticed that you cant adjust the volume when the screen is locked.
AND every call i make/receive the volume is always at the max and extremely loud. So i have to right away turn it down. That happen for anyone else?
SOLUTION FOUND - TESTING -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1411317
I'll provide a better tutorial for those interested when im done testing it ;-) seems i can build a custom Framework.jar with edited volume increments.
I'm running cm7 from cm9, I listen to alot of music during the day and night but I find the volumes at the high end of the range perfect but the volumes down the low end to stark.
The gaps between 0 and 1 is no sound and then considerably loud in a quiet environment, is this a kernel related volume incriment or set by the code in cm7 somewhere?
I can't find an app to add what I'd call analouge volume control ( finer increments in DB from 0 to MAX)
Any ideas guys?

not to threadjack but how do you even use the high volume? at a volume level of 1 with my TripleFi 10 Pros is as loud as I wanna get.
I plug my SGS2 into the car and I can't go anywhere above 1/4. It's as loud as my Nexus S on FULL, and same with my iPod touch. the sound output is ridiculously loud.

This is a well known (and annoying because I use a rom that's a CM derivative) issue. I've learned to live with it & don't really want to run a standalone app just to give me fine control of volume levels, however, I found this on my travels recently. I haven't tried it, but this might be a good starting point for apps to try.

Nice find I tried about 8 apps last night, also considered a voodoo sound esque fix but we know the sgs2 has not got the correct hardware.
unless there is a voodoo sound kernel for cm7 out there but all kernels I try with cm7 give me a corrupt boot to the boot logo and then crashes and I have to hard reset.
CM7 is horrid for 3rd party Kernel support.
MistahBungle said:
Since I started using the app in my sig, I only need volume on around 25-30% thru in-ears. Before that I'd have it on 80% or so. SGS2 (maybe not all, could be manufacturing variations .
Thats what i see manufacture variations .
Stock phone stock headphones no sound change apps volume level at 50% is far to high on my phone . Its an original day one released phone .

Supercurio has released Voodoo Louder for SGS2 which also boosts headphone/headset volume (by 6dB), but it doesn't give you that fine volume control.
And as JJE said in his post, with the experiences reported by SGS2 owners on here, this volume issue would appear to be a manufacture issue/dependent on which 'batch' your phone came from.

I'd like to call that unreliable information, as I never had this issue with Cognation ROM, its only become a issue with the Current CM7.1.
I'd take a look into this but I have no experience into editing the android system short of using command sin Terminal Emulator and ADB.
There must be a scale somewhere that relates to the number of volume increments and the DB output, after all there is a law regarding maximum volumes of devices in the EU and OEM's adjust there in their hardware dependant on Region, so the DB values can be adjusted some how, I just need to know where i can find it.
EDIT : This works on some handsets not my SGS2 !
Dial in *#*#197328640#*#*
Next, tap your finger onto the following, in the following order:
[5] Audio
[1] Handset
[1] Volume
[1] SRS Speech RX Volume
next notice the following defaults that pop up.
[0]0_lvl:63
[1]1_lvl:68
[2]2_lvl:73
[3]3_lvl:78
[4]4_lvl:83
[5]5_lvl:88
This basically means, that your volume up and down keys have 5 clicks, starting from the lowest setting, and click your volume up 5 times, takes you through the sequence of volumes listed above. You can change each click to be a new volume setting. For me 1-4 are fine, I just wanted max volume, which is click number 5, to be something higher. The phone does not let you to put in half increments, meaning 88.5 is not possible. So you have to use increments of 1. Please please do this carefully, dont suddenly jump to 95, you could blow out your speaker possibly. So I tried just 1 increment above 88, went to 89, and perfect, much louder now! okay so this is how you do it:
Once you get the list above, do the following:
Click your finger on [5]5_lvl:88
Next, a screen pops up asking for input. On the bottom of your phone, tap the menu button, this is the button next to the little home button.
Next tap "key input"
Next tap 1 increment at a time, lets start off with 89 so where it says enter value, tap this, your keyboard pops up, type in 89
Next Tap your menu button again
Next Tap "end"
you are now finished, make a phone call and see how 89 works for you, when your volume is set to max
Remember this volume adjustment seems to reset after you reboot the phone. Some people online are saying you can also make the volume higher by playing with the hearing aid settings, I personally haven't tried this yet.

You can call the volume loudness issue anything you want. But given the experiences of people who have posted here over the past however many months, that is what these experiences suggest.
This is what JJE & I were talking about when we mentioned the manufacture thing.
Not the fine volume issue.
Indeed, that seems to be prevalent on CM based roms. I don't recall having any problems increasing volume in small increments for the < 1 week I ran stock firmware on my phone after I bought it.
As I've said, it's not a big enough deal for me to use a standalone app, so it's definitely not a big enough deal for me to muck around with dialer codes. I saw these codes months ago before I even bought my phone, and never bothered with them. The fine volume control doesn't really bother me, I just thought I'd reply to you OP given you were after an app that enables same, and I'd found the app I gave you a link to recently.

That app did nothing, I used it and it gave me the same options as DSP gives you from CM.
The not high enough volume issue can easily be solved in CM7 but comment about that has hijacked my thread, im looking into how we can edit the fine volume adjustment or edit the increments to go from MAX to MIN volume.
Service codes don't appear to work on my handset ( CM related ? ) but I believe the service mode is built into the framework.
Have had my Z2 for a while now, but there's 1 thing driving me nuts that I cannot seem to find a solution for. Every other Android phone I've had (Nexus' and Samsungs) has let you mute and unmute the mic whilst on a call using a short press on the button on a set of headphones (And a long press to hangup). The Z2 only seems to hangup, with no option at all to mute/unmute. I've looked everywhere in settings, tried the woefully buggy Smart Key app from Sony (Not only does it not work to do a mute/unmute, it breaks more things that I could count), used different headsets etc, none of them work.
I was kind of hoping the 4.4.4 update with the revised dialer would finally allow such a basic feature, but no dice. Anyone have any solutions or ideas to this working as expected?

there is clearly visible mic button along with a dialer, speakerphone, hold and contacts buttons, which is used to mute the mic. dont see why you cant find it.

I'm talking about muting/unmuting from the headset, not on the phone itself. If you're on multi-person, multi-hour calls where you have to regularly mute your mic frequently, doing it from the headset is so much easier than waking the screen all the time.
HI I'm having Xperia z2 and having the same problem. During in call perid the mic and mute button automatically activate and after while call cancel suddenly, but if I press side power button and let the screen not awake position the above problem do not appear.
How to solve this?
