Saw a new of apps to increase the volume beyond stock, but haven't found any to lower it.
The lowest volume is on the loud side for me when trying to sleep. Appreciate any recommendation/thoughts

What about buying an external speaker with volume control to connect to it at night I personally use a Phillips one
Try changing volume mode to fine in settings.

Hello.
I find the volume in the earpiece speaker that is built into the phone to be too low, even at max factory setting. I'm talking about the earpiece built into the phone, the part you hold against your ear.
Can someone please provide one of thos secret codes that will give access to somehow change the maximum volume to something higher.
Also, I would like the ability to increase screen brightness to higher settings, if you can please provide a secret code and instructions for that also.
Thank You Very much
I don't have any such codes and also find the volume too low during calls but God, man, why on earth would you need a brighter screen? This is by far the brightest and clearest screen I've ever seen on a phone. You're gonna fry your battery and your retinas both at the same time!.

LOL. Well such codes must exist. I was able to do this 5 yrs ago on a motorola razr. Surely this computer of a beast vibrant must have some setting for volume adjustment!

I actually have a blind family member. Your comment was distasteful.
Ya if you need it louder your hearing is probably going but.. if you look around in the service menu there are audio options. No guarantees that your speaker won't be blown or that you won't mess up the phone depending on the settings.. the speaker on this phone is much too loud for me, especially since it's really bassy and resonates into my ear. I can feel it damaging my hearing.
There's a hack for most other android devices such as nexus one whining increases the volume by a good margin, I don't think it has been ported over yet though l.

whining? OK seriously I came here for help, not for people to call me deaf blind or whining. I asked you guys for a method to increase the volume, if you don't know there is no justification for the barrage of uncalled for comments.

how can I access the service menus, besides blowing out the speaker what other type of phone damage can occur?
The nexus used a kernel hack/mod to increase the volume... I'm not sure we're there yet in terms of mods...hopefully it will come soon! Not that I need it but I can see the use for it.
Hope you can get what your looking for OP

^^^ So all your audio is very low, just not your call volume? Media volume is pretty low on the 3d, but my phone volume was VERY low after flashing ICE. After doing the in_call.zip fix, my media volume is still low, but my phone volume is back to what it was under 2.3*.
Maybe a thread title change?

FWIW, I'm using Newts RC3. If you haven't given his ROM a shot, might be worth a try. It could still be a bit louder, but it went from unusable to workable.

is an awsome rom and use chads kernal qualcom 1a will allow you to use beats which can help get youur media volume higher and cleaner. But watch your speaker like always if you think its pushing to hard it probly is.
Is there a setting in your rom to boost the volume? My old desire had that.
weird. i have leedroid on mine and it's perfect.
my mate got an evo 3d, i s-off'ed it etc and restored my nandroid and deleted what he didn't want etc....and his is nearly silent. Brand new phone so i doubt it's a blown speaker. Very odd.

Usually you adjust volume to max and then decrease it.. try tht..

That means your speaker phone is off. It's supposed to represent a Soundwave frequency but looks more like a heartbeat ekg reading. If you turn your speakerphone on it will disappear.

Anybody remember that old tv gameshow called "To Tell the Truth". Here is my input on what that symbol is. It is your Noise Reduction icon. While on a call hit your menu button and I believe you should have an option to turn it on or off. Seriously....that is what it is. Has nothing to do with volume or speakerphone. It changes when you go on speakerphone because it disables on speakerphone I think.

So I'm guessing nose reduction doesn't work with the speaker phone then which is why it disappears.

Yeah, I edited my post to say that at the same time you were posting. Seems the Canadian JB ROM took that feature away so I can't verify 100% myself.

How is the overall call volume? Is it loud enough?
Why do manufacturers do these dumb things?
I wanted the loud speakers mainly for the loud ringing advantage, as I set my phone down in one corner of the house and often miss calls as I can't hear it from the other rooms.
Hopefully there's a fix.

Seriously, I don't know why every review I've read so far talks about the power front facing stereo speakers when the volume is really so poor. What's the use?
Looks more like a software glitch to me.
One more bug I find was the volume indicator which appears when you press the volume rocker doesn't seems to be moving continously the correct volume levels. Again, not sure whether it's just me alone with this bug.

Well, it depends on you, but I feel it's a software issue as I could hear loudly when I play music. So it can't be a hardware issue. It could be a matter of bug fix update from Sony to fix it.
