Samsung III Volume - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello All,
I wanted to buy an SIII but I went to the store and listened to the musice through my apple in the ear headphones. The volume is not quite loud enough for me. I checked the settings and noticed that the were all maxed. My Iphone4 is louder but I want the SIII any network version here in the UK.
I also looked at the HTC One Audio Beats which was perfect, but I really want the SIII.
The audio limiter rules in Europe go against me because of my disabiltiy and I just wish there was a way to make it louder to cover my hearing loss. I wear hearing aids but take them to and use headphones to listen to music.
Do I write off the SIII or is there someway around it?
Grateful to anyone who might be able to help.?

Since you're posting on XDA, I'm assuming you'll be rooting your phone. If so, then yes there is a mod that will greatly increase the phone's volumes for earpiece, speaker, headset, headphones and dock. Mod is located here. It is a popular mod for those of us who prefer a much louder phone, and this fix is even baked into some custom ROMs.

I don't know what you mean by "will this root work here in the UK". Are you planning on buying just the regular International version of the Galaxy S3? Answer to question 2 is yes.

[EDIT]: nvm

There's a mod called GVM 1.0.2 for S3 Int, if you're rooted. If you root and want warranty work, you need to reset counter to 0 with triangle away and flash stock Rom using mobile odin, then del your root apps like mobile odin etc

I have to say a huge thankyou for everyone that posted. A great help! Just before I hit that purchase button I have posted a request for more info on the S3 general forums about dumping my iphone. I do not want to include it here as I do not want to hijack my own thead.
But, guys thanks, you are all really helping me to make that right decision. It is appreciated.
Will update.

Just ordered the S3 blue, to be delivered tomorrow.... I am going to need some hand hold here to blow that volume hack so whatever you please do not shout at me. I read up on the mod zip file but it left me slightly confused.... Are there any step by step instructions on how to apply the rom?

Well you first have to achieve root and flash clockworkmod ecovery.
From recovery you will be able ro install roms and tweaks like the "extremely loud volume hack" you need.
You can start from here for rooting ang flashing CWM

Change the kernel to either Siyah or franco.Kernel
They have the voodoo sound in it which can like boost the headphone/earphone volume by a lot.
Another way is to use a headphone amp but seriously using the above method is super loud already.

Let me know if you want to stay stock but rooted .. GVM works well but .. in past Galaxies nothing compares to voodoo .. waiting for JB to install Siyah or Franco.

Mod has some limits but I wouldn't use max, might ruin speake. Actually I just boosted vol for headphones, speaker is fine for me but I don't see any harm boosting another 20-30% .. think limit is like 50 + 13% .. search for thread MOD GVM in S3 General Q

Welcome to the S3
Hello all again....
Well I got my S3 today and wow what a great phone!... The ear volume is that loud that I can actually hear with my hearing aids in, I am totally made up with it. :good:
The only thing is the ringer sound. Before I consider root it, does anyone know where I can get a Old Style Telephone ring ring tone from? Preferably volume maxed?
I cannot hear the supplied tone because of their frequency and the old style ring ring always seems to work best.
I am happy to pay for the ringtone. :laugh:
Very happy with you guys, thanks for helping me out. Guess I just have to leave all my bought itune songs in the bin
All the best

[Q] 2.2 made the music headphone volume too low on streak???

is it just me or does anyone els feel that the music volume is too low on the streak when playing out of the headphones..?
Is there any way to make it louder?

Yes! I feel the exact same. surely there's an easy way to tweak the max headphone volume.
Is it noticeably lower after 2.2 instal than it was with 2.1?
hmm..
Okay im not the only one feeling that.
But what can we do? is there a way to boost the volume? I have tried a few apps that would boost the volume but non worked..
Anyone know how to boost the volume?
Anyone have a solution?? This is driving me crazy!! The volume is set to max and the speakers are screaming, but the music is not loud at all.
Same here and im surprised that no one else thinks this is an issue? My Bose noise cancelling muffs are kinda useless with this.
2.2 318 with perf fix.
Download powerAMP from the market. this will boast up your volume and it has EQ as well as bass & treble.
They balls it up, then you have to pay for an app to sought it out Another reason (YET ANOTHER REASON) not to downgrade to 2.2

What excactly do the designers at dell do whilst planning the next release?
Visit forums like this.
There a lot of owners using the streak as a mp3 player: OK we'll put a stop to that by removing any decent volume
Ok there's a lot of owners using rebel sim to bypass the unlock: we'll put a stop to that with 2.2
There's a lot of 1.6 users utilising the 5' screen size: we'll put a stop to that with 2.1 and design it so you can fit less icons on a screen
And when we release 2.2 we'll release it with something called stage which wastes even more of the 5' screen size

Lol. Now that's a rant.
I haven't had the streak all too long but it's a fantastic device. . The volume control is really low. But I'm sure Dell will fix it if we head on over to their forums or something. Possibly put in a ticket? I'm going to open a support ticket this week because there are a ton of apps on the market that give me an error 18 message which pisses me off. But I guess I'll open a ticket for this too. Haha.

Maybe simply its a byproduct of 2.2 on their specific hardware. Well have to wait and see.I suppose.

Gutted, just bought a 2nd gen xmi mini speaker, it sounds truly unbelievable with any other audio device but can hardly hear it with the streak. It's like they've put some avls volume limiter on to save our ears using headphones, it sucks.
Does anyone know of any way to over ride this?

Seems I'm not the only one with this problem. I can hear my surroundings using an in ear set with the streak on PowerAMP max preamp.

From what I understand through extensive research on the matter, the only way app based volume boosters will work is if you are running a rom which has kernel changes to allow the apps to modify sound.
Louder Volume Hack needs to root!
thought my headphones were buggered. looks like its the streak instead.
Did this ever get fixed? Can't find anythng positive in search.
The pathetic volume from the earphone jack makes the Streak useless as a media tablet - one of its prime selling features!

White Noise/Hiss/Static During Audio Playback

Does anyone here encounter a quiet hiss sound going on at low volume? (Just go up one notch in volume and play your music). It's very noticeable in softer songs for example a solo piano just being played or a guitar. But it is well heard throughout the overall audio.
You can only hear it when the audio starts, once it's paused the sound will go away.
I was wondering if my phone is a bad batch.
Thanks

I have exactly the same! And it's worse when using the original headphones. However, I don't know if this is normal, as I have exactly the same question!
Try poweramp from market.use it for 5 min then go back to stock player and see if problem is still there
It's way more noticeable on poweramp. And it happens through out all audio playback, videos, youtubes. you name it.
I had some similar issues and with poweramp it disappeared.
Have u tried other head/ear phones/plugs.if yes. Take it back to the store no one can live with that
Btw are u on bt or cord

Could u try BT. If the problem disappear when using BT. Then it's your jack(well i think that anyway but just to be sure) and u should get an replacement from the store.
Otherwise try to change your kernel or firmware if you are on le8 or older firmware

I'm sorry, I don't have a BT set. Tried several headphones, and with some the noise is better audible. However, I also plugged them in into my iPod (from 2006) and I can hear some noise there as well.
Furthermore, you also hear the noise when you're not playing any music, but when you just touch a capacitive touch. You'll hear the noise for 4 - 5 seconds, and then it disappears... You don't hear this on your phone?

No, clear as a bell. But i had several problems on firmware LE8. go to settings and about phone. To see what firmware(fw) your on. As i said le8 and earlier is "crap".
Check kies for FW updates. I reckon from your answers u don't know how to change(flash) new fw. So i won't suggest that.
But if u want to learn then read the stickies(top threads) in development section.

Yes it will.do have cwm(clockworkmod) if u do upgrading is much easier.just find one rom u like and read the OP on how to flash. If in doubt then pm me or post here and I'll tell u how to.
Ps. If u flashed cf-root u got cwm. To check,turn off. Then press vol. Up,home button and power simultaneously and release after 3 sek. If there is an advanced option then it's cwm.
Pps.it's only the last 3 letters in buildnr,in your case it's LE8

I haven't tried to update yet but I found out something else. Unplug the headphones, so you're jack is just free, and music will be playing over the built-in-speaker. When you're in the home screen, and not listening to any music push a capacitive button. You'll hear a "ping" sound (or whatever you've chosen) and then you'll hear exactly the same noise for about 4 seconds as you would also hear when using the headphones! Weird...

Ok, to backup your imei download "k-tool" from market and backup.if u got a dropbox account then upload it and save to your pc.next look for "galaxy s3 toolkit v4" (by mskip) and backup your current Rom.
Now u can either download a Rom from galaxy s3 (international) development and flash that from your cwm recovery (easy) or go to samfirmware.com and register.then search for LFB or LG1(official release) stock Rom and flash it with ODIN (Google "flash with ODIN", gs 1-2-3 is identical method).just get started and read, as I said CWM flash is simple.
Try wanemlite Rom or something like that.avoid "aroma installer" for now.
PS.stay away from cyanogen mod that is only for experienced users, many ppl here semi-brick(easy recoverable) their device on aosp(cm, aokp and such) roms.
If any questions then post it here.

Again, thank you for the help. Unfortunately, I have the Canadian Telus variant (basically the US AT&T variant). Last time I heard it's still impossible to backup the IMEI? Or has the problem been solved? Seems like it since you mentioned about backing it up.
And Zun, ya if I have the phone right beside my ear (the speaker area), you can hear the hiss for a few seconds when you press the captive button and it'll go away.

Low Volume on External Speaker?

DSP Manager might work better for you. Be careful - don't want to blow that tiny thing
Use QPST to increase the volume - this requires that you know ur MSL.
MSL Reader is free on Google Play (requires root!) and how to configure/use QPST can be found by searching XDA.

I have read reviews for QPST working for some people but not others, so YMMV.
Good luck!

Even with tweaks the speaker on the LTE is not ideal, I'm guessing that's likely because they were trying to save room when creating the design. I was honestly debating looking up the speaker online and seeing if I could find a better one to replace it with...though this isn't ideal for most people (including myself), I'm still really tempted to do so.

I agree with you but I thought I would throw it out there just on the off-chance it does actually work for some.
How about trying the loudspeaker of motorola photon? It has one of the loudest speaker , and i ve seen it the part is thinner than the evo 4g speaker
The photon speaker also very cheap only $4 online
The problem is how to attach it to our phone ?

1. This guide will tell you how to get the drivers to work (Windows XP/7).

2. This is the version of QPST I used to make changes to my phone (I couldn't get any other version to work with Windows 7 x64 so I searched around and found this version, which worked for me).

I have read reviews for QPST working for some people but not others, so YMMV.
Good luck!

Read the disclaimer for the qpst. Setting the tab all the way up to four has the potential to blow out your phone's speakers. Three is the best bet. As always you do this at your own risk and nobody is responsible if you mess up your phone. Don't mean to sound like a douche but I had to tell somebody off for smarting off to me about using qpst.
actually if you put your ear RIGHT UP TO THE PHONE it'll sound louder! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT!?!?!?!? lol. now if you actually read the manual.. I think it actually says something like you have to hold your phone at least an inch away from your head or you'll die of the rays coming out of your phones. lol! QPST is ****ty software. I'm not paying to use it.
I am only trying to help another xda member. Please do not post replies saying that a question is unintelligent.

I have tried different apps to increase the volume (both speaker and headphone) of my Evo3D, but I never actually felt any difference. Only difference I felt was when I installed Mwakious's Roms with his sound enhancements, there was a bit of an increase, I have to admit. You guys should give it a shot, seems better than those Google Play apps that you need to pay in order to receive... nothing

Loud volume hack not working...?

My friend has the galaxy s3 4g but it isn't working. I have flashed it, copied the file directly from my phone onto his phone but still won't work. Why? I open the file in his phone and all the settings are same as mine but it won'twork.
First of all, What are you talking about? Difficult to understand what exactly is going on.... Phone is not working or app "Loud Volume" or hack?
Other thing, this is i9300 section.....
R: Loud volume hack not working...?
I believe its loud volume mod kinda hack...i remember it being there as.a mod in foxhound rom installation settings...

You don't know what the loud volume hack is? I thought it was a pretty popular mod.
It basically just replaces the default_config file with another edited one and makes the phone twice as loud.
Just the problem is its not working on one of my friends phone. It's worked on mine (i9300) and a workmates (i9305) but it's not working on my friends i9305.

It will work if its the default gain file and has actually replaced the existing file .
Or just edit it yourself .
Suggest you ask in the louder vol hack thread if its a known problem .

I have asked in the loud volume hack thread. It's been 2 days and no reply.
The actual file does get replaced, I know cause I checked the file withe a rear editor and it is exactly the same as my one but still won't work.

Hi there,
I too cannot get the volume hack (editing default_gain.conf file) to work (originally here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1722136).
I think its because I have an I9305 (SIII LTE), and the hack only works on I9300.
I do not have permissions to post on this thread directly, hence posting here.
Help would be appreciated so I can actually hear my music above the crap music coming from the speakers at the gym!

Get Headphones man....its the best thimg if ure in a very loud area...plus forcing the volume too high for too long (say one hour every 2-3 days) will surely ruin your speakers...loud hacks are always to be taken seriously only use them when u need em...

Hi there...
The loud hack didn't work for me either...
What I found that it didn't work when I had perseus kernel, and just now I installed foxhound 2.5 all over again with Siyah kernel and it seems to be working.
or maybe it's just Siyah kernel that uses louder output.. dunno...
Hope it will help you.
