Morning all,
Love this phone, love love love. What I'm worried about though is the in call volume on headphones. Doesn't matter whether I'm using the supplied Samsung ones or a set of Sony ones the volume is so low that the person at the other end is in audible.
I have no problems with volume on anything else (as in music player on in call volume using the actual phone)
Anyone else experiencing this or am I just very unlucky.
I've noticed this too. When having earphones plugged in the call volume is just too low. Last night I had to plug mine out and xall again because I couldn't hear her properly. Good point

this is absolutely the worst news possible, because i make 99% of all my calls with my headset. you guys are saying it is not usable? most of my calls are on the freeway with loud raod noise.
Post on here somewhere secret codes for volume ++

Not sure about volume with the earpieces with mic that came with the sgs2 but my sony earphones volume was quite low during call. I get calls when I'm listening to music a lot.

this app seems to have fixed it for me give it a try it ups the headset volume over default levels.. works fine for my sgs ii
i think you may need to be rooted to use it but not sure
Does it have HAC mode? Setings > Call settings > HAC mode. I set that on my SGS to increase call volume.
+1 on the issue, will try the apk tmo

I would like to know about the "HAC" mode to, I wear hearing aids in both ears and it's important to me.

I wonder if this is connectd to another very frustrating problem I've just discovered. When I go out running, I normally have Spotify playing in the background and CardioTrainer occasionally prompting me with updates on how badly I'm doing. Worked fine on my old Galaxy S, now I can't hear the updates over the music because they are so quiet. I've tried fiddling with all the settings, and have also tried Endomondo and SportsTracker and they all seem to have the same problem. Anyone else tried this?
Fixed in latest update

Hey champ, you said this was fixed in the latest update but I just got my galaxy last week from Vodafone Australia and mine has this issue. What update fixed yours and does anyone else know about any fixes?
Fixed? In which update?
Hey,
I have this problem on my (sim-less) SGS2, and no update is available.
Any version number?
i'm having the same problem too. i currently use the stock headset, and am thinking of getting a BT headset as i get calls while driving. tried the app, did not help.
can someone one please help? it will be even better if voodoo sound is developed for i9100. *fingers crossed*
yep. same problem here!
Noticed it as well - on headphones Senn PX 100 II - very annoying (have to plug out the phones each time)
Also noticed the volume problem. The overall voice call quality is not great either. Can someone confirm if the apk. fix helped and if it needs the root access?
Hey guys I tried searching for this topic in the forum but didnt find anything. On my note there are some times when the sound will come out through the earpiece instead of the back speaker. This happens randomly and the only way to fix it is to restart the phone then i get sound through back speaker again. Anyone have this issue? I'm running stock phone, the only thing i have ADW Ex. I dont have blue tooth enabled either.
Thanks for the help
There are at least two other threads about this ...in q&a I believe
Both our skyrocket and note behave this way:
When headphones in system notification is played on headphones and ext speaker
Ringtones are played over headphones only. We were using the video ringtone app though. Will test with system ringtones tonight
So far it seems to depend on what is playing the notification

I have a jvc deck that has built in blutooth. It routes the sound they the car speakers and uses a wired microphone. Call quality transmit an receive is pretty damn good. However, when using bluetooth audio...say pushing anything from the music app, or pandora, there is alot of static attached to the signal. Does anyone else have this problem? Are there any solutions. I am rooted but still stock. I use poweramp as well as the default player at times.

I have a jvc deck as well, and I don't have any problems with static over bluetooth. I use Pandora and Google play music, and both work great for me on stock, CM7, CM9, and MIUI. MIUI actually works the best for me as far as bluetooth playing nice with the head unit.
Never used power amp or stock tho, so I can't speak for that.

I have no issues with mine Pandora,stock music player ,google play music, TuneIn Radio work good... with my car's unit
Thought I really hate the annoying noise when I use the wired earphones.
Ill have to experiment with a few other players. I rarely use the phone for streaming in the car. Odd, I really dint pick up any noise with wired cans. On a side note, I found a new player 'neutron' that blows away anything I've used this far in the sq department. Its a paid app that offers a limited use 'timed' trial.

Similar issue
I've also got a semi-stock Photon 4G. Been using it fine in my Ford Fusion w/ Sync. Sunday, tried to make a phone call and it was just static. Turned off the bluetooth on my phone and it was fine. Now, it's unable to make a call through Sync. It pairs fine, just nothing but static. Why the sudden change? No new updates from Motorola or Sprint that I'm aware of. BTW, by semi-stock, I mean it's rooted. No custom ROM's or what not. Any ideas? I've googled some and it seems that the Photon 4G has some bluetooth related issues. I really like the phone and had really planned on holding off on upgrading since there wasn't a real 'need'. Another issue I've had lately is receiving texts w/ no sound. It vibrates, but doesn't give me a sound. I checked the setting and even when scrolling through the notification sounds, it doesn't do it. Then it will randomly do it. Rebooted and battery pulls have been done. Really, REALLY don't want to do a reset. Ideas? Are they related?
I use bluetooth audio everyday, and I've used every rom except stock. Bluetooth always works very well. Rule out your jvc device first, test your Bluetooth on something else. Then reset or reflash, then use your warranty.

I also intermittently get static when making calls in my Focus via Sync over Bluetooth. I can faintly hear the caller in the background, but the static is MUCH louder than the person. When this occurs, there are some other symptoms the phone exibits:
No audio will play via multiple apps. Tested in Pandora (cycles from one song to another), Amazon MP3 (same as Pandora), Youtube (Gives an error about audio), Voicemail (Unable to play the message).
Alarms only vibrate, no audible alarm.
When trying to do a call via speakerphone, the person on the other end cannot hear me.
The fix I have found is to reboot. The phone is stock, but has been rooted, and has occurred for the past few months, even with the update that came out at the beginning of August. I tried reflashing it in June with the 198 SBF, but didn't do a reset of the data. The reflash succeeded, but the problem is still occurring. I removed "Words with Friends" and "Scramble with Friends" last night to see if it helps.

Lt_data - I'm sorry to say that the only solution I found for mine was upgrading to an EVO 4G LTE and getting a credit for my photon...lol. Good luck!

Rats. Too bad I hate Sense, so I'll probabpy go with a Galaxy S III, even though I dont like TouchWiz. However, Touchwiz is preferable to Sense. Might go Galaxy Nexus, not sure. For now, haven't had it reoccur yet, but we'll see.
Good news: not a single reoccurance of the static over bluetooth and no audio. I still wonder how an app can effectively crash the audio stack, though. Oh well.

I've had this problem for the last few weeks where if I try to record something or for example try to listen to a song using Sound Hound it doesn't appear to be detecting any external sounds. Currently I am on the newest Avatar rom which I love but this also happened on the AOSP xXx 1/9/13 rom. Any ideas?
When you are in a call try turning off Noise Reduction.
Thanks. That was it. In fact I tried this last night and was pleased to see it worked. I appreciate that you took the time to respond.

Problem is that noise reduction re-enables itself and you have to turn it off for every call. But at least you know where to start looking to fix the issue.
To add.....what kind of case do you have on your phone? At the top of your phone you will see a small hole about an inch from your audio out jack. That is the 2nd mic used for noise reduction. Do you have it blocked?
Hi everybody
Whenever I was listening to music, stopped it and anplugged my earphones, my phone is no longer in silent mode! Somehow soundmode gets activated automatically. Seems not to be a big deal for most of you but I'm afraid I once forget to switch back to silent mode and someone calls me during a conference which would be embarrassing ...
Does anyone else encounter this problem? Bug or feature? :cyclops:
Dunno if you're willing to spend some money, there's an app called tasker. I might try factory reset first.
Had some problem where play music started playing music after I turned off the radio.. But that got sorted after I flashed another rom.

AW: [Q] After unplugging earphones, phone switches silent mode off
It seems that it occurs only when using Poweramp as music player. Tried DoubleTwist, MusicXMatch and Android Music Player but it never happened afterwards. Seems to be a Poweramp-related problem i've already tried reflashing, fullwipe, ...
