Hey guys,
I have the sony ericcsson xperia ray and have not got any problems with it really other than the fact to me the in-call volume is rather low, to the point where if i'm out and about I can not hear the other person talking and as you can imagine this has some problems.
So what i'm asking is for a solution (if any) to raise the in-call volume so that when i'm on the phone talking to someone outside I will be able to hear them clearly.
If it helps I am rooted and running a custom stock rom. Help would be greatly appreciated cheers guys!

Yeah it's at max already I must be getting deaf, I just need something like an app or a code or a flashable file or something along those lines to raise the in-call standard volume if possible, If not then i guess i'm stuck haha! Thanks though.

The In-Call Volume on Xperia Ray is VERY low both in Ear Speaker and Loud Speaker. It is very difficult to hear the other person if your hearing is not perfect. It is a horrible situation and no fix in sight! But if I find something I will post it. I hope someone can help.
Music etc on loudspeaker works fine. So far the solutions posted, loudspeaker on then off, then volume - then + are impractical.
Using baseband 86 (latest) on Xperia Ray Gingerbread. ICS had the same issue, and was completely unstable for this phone, Xperia Ray. This problem is in Stock Sony Firmware and ALSO in stock BASED Firmware. Custom Firmware also seem to have this issue.

Anyone else's In call volume very low? even though its on maximum volume? I cant seem to hear very well unless I put the phone on loudspeaker. any ideas on this one?
cheers
Yup. I am on .14 and it is awful. I hear the .16 update fixes it though. There are so many good things about this phone that I couldnt care less about this issue though at the moment.
Nope. I have .16 and it's just as bad.

Cheers mate, I was just about to follow the debranding tutorial to update to 1.6 to improve my In- Call volume.
I have also heard that 1.6 offers an improvement in this area.

I'm actually thinking of unbranding my phone just because I can. But it's just to get rid of like one or two pre-installed programs.
i am on firmware 1.6 and it doesnt solve anything, its really really bad! the volume is ridiculous I can hardly hear anyone unless I go into a room where theres no noise at all! SE need to fix this
volume at max is not even iphone at half
Volume is terrible, i keep squeezing the phone into my ear.... what i don't understand is who ever listened to the phone and said ooooh this is good, how is he not FIRED
if this phone ever gets released in the US with the same problem i am complaining to the FCC. it seems someone to do something about it, (remember what happened to Toyota?)
I honestly dont think a firmware can increase/fix the volume issue, i honetly think the speaker is at its limits, i even hear distortion some times, telling me my volume way to loud for the speaker capacity, although i can BARLEY hear something.
Terrible
Yea, I cant say that the volume is loud, but I found out a solution that works for me.
Actually the screen seems to pick up the vibrations from the speaker, so if you instead of holding your ear against the speaker move your ear slightly down so that you actually have your ear on the top part of the screen instead... then the volume is much better!!
Just a tip.
And for SE: I noticed that only the higher pitched frequencies causes distort in the small speaker. Analyze the speaker and identify which frequencies that causes distortion and filter those frequencies out. Sacrifice those frequencies for a louder volume!
Regards // R
I read somewhere that they put the phone in test mode and forced the volume higher and worked.
Which would mean the hardware is capable of higher volume its just bad software.
This issue bugs me big time, and I'm quite dissapointed :-/
Any news on SonyEricsson solving this issue?
I've read that the X10 mini does have a much better loudspeaker. How can this be when it's an even smaller phone?
I strongly(!) hope that SE will fix it! A phone that is useless for phone calls? Than I can buy an iPod touch :-(
there is a 'volume hack' app but works only for rooted devices.
same problem..can hardly hear when on the street or in public place.
i enable speaker..and keep the loudspeaker near my ear.

Personaly I don't think that this is the way you have to make calls with a top of the line smartphone ;-)
Does anybody know if Sonyericsson is aware of this low volume issue?
Do they want to adress this issue with a soft- or hardwarefix?
Hopefully the update will come soon

Yes there are many problems with X10, i think X10 problems will be solved soon after the update 2.1 let us hope for the best

Actually, the number of problems is far, far, far, far, faaaaaaar less than you think it is. Being on a board for people needing technical support for their phones will make you think there's a lot more anger and problems than there really are. It's the nature of the internet.
Think about it, if there were really that many shopstopping problems, the phone would have gone through a recall by now. You can't let this forum (or any other tech support forum) give you any sort of indication of percentage of users with problems.
Same problem here... German o2 X10i (R2BA026). Speaker volume set to max. but still can't hear the other side It's a shame...

Are you on XWKE2?
Its driving me nuts seeing this topic repeatedly posted with no real answer if all owners experience it, or if the volume codes fix the issue.
I have the same volume issues with headphones connected and answering calls... can barely hear anything while on subway etc...
Hopefully the voodoo sound feature will be ported to SGS II soon...

yes, anytime I am in a mall or anywhere will back ground wind... it is very hard to hear the other person....
on a side not, kies keeps telling me there is an update available... each time I run it, I get some dll error... hence me browsing the forums right now!
Is this a third firmware update?
I have the same issue. Can't hear anything with headphones and without them the sound is very muffled, as if there is no treble. My N95 could go so loud that it hurt!
I'm on XWKE2. Any suggestions?

Hi, this is my first post. I have similar issue. I have no problem in a room with low noise but when I'm outside or in a noisy room I barely hear the voice.
if the problem only with headphones then try using Voodoo Louder from the android market. that worked for me. i never had any problem with the headset volume on my sgs2.

Solution found
My phone is unlocked[T- mobile galaxy s 2], I Have tried every GSM carrier[att pre paid, t- mobile pre paid,h20, Simple mobile, Real att, real t- mobile. (by real I mean contract) , Thought was network issues. It wasn't. Well, I gave up. Called Samsung and shipped my phone for repair. They were quick. from shipment to repair took less than own week and half. UPS second day ship and UPS second receive that four days plus three days repair. Well, the issue is gone!. They fixed the problem. What they did was raise all the sound volume Bars by default to 100 percent. I can tell this by going via volume settings. Now I'm scared of trying Any Rom coz I don't want to lose this settings. My phone was shipped back with original stock rom. Unrooted. Just rooted back. that's how far I'm willing to go , But then again ICS rom is spitting distance based on the news on my hears. don't know what to do. I hope Samsung can Distribute THIS ics ROM . with default volume up. Or hope xda can send a memo to their rom agents to default volume up. Its 20 million users out there in the galaxy two world. Crying for help. with this particular problem. Yes it's not hardware problem . its software problem. Proven.
Hi,
I really hope i dont have a faulty device, but the sound through my headphones (which have been working a day before on my beloved htc hero perfectly) is rather week, 75% maybe of the top volume i could reach on my hero.
I've already tried this in the default music app, and also on Jango Radio (internet music app).
the sound is rather week and also kind of not crystal clear.
is anybody else having this problem? and what can i do about it?
thanks alo!
Yes, actually I have the same thing, and I think a software problem with the music player, it stops when I raise the volume or when i press on the 5.1 ch icon or sometimes on it's own

Working fine!!
I've been using other earphones, but when i tried the one coming with the phone......blast!!!! that's y it was giving me problems!
Super dooper!!
sorry SGS II i underestimated u!!
Definitely the best phone ever up till now
I also noticed really bad quality with the stock headset.. After trying with the headphones from an iPod, the sound quality was much better.. So i guess the problem is really the stock headset.
The stock headphones are pretty bad. I don't get low volume. In fact, I get large amounts of distortion on higher volumes when using headphones. The sound quality is poor, but after tweaking with an EQ (PowerAMP!) it can be some-what salvaged.
There are also options in music player itself (equaliser and effects). For me it is sufficient to improve quality to desired level.
Is audio level & quality same as galaxy S
I am confused between Galaxy sII & xperia neo. I am shifting from Galaxy S, I got the phone refunded from samsung before this I have a wave, that also was refunded by samsung. Its obvious that I am a bit afraid going for samsung this time but still feel they are the best. I got this info from research that Galaxy SII doesn't have a good audio quality in comparison with the legendry Galaxy S. I can't afford to take risk for a 30K phone if it doesn't play good music because carrying an Ipod is virtually impossible if u already have S II in ur pocket. Thats the reason I have narrowed down to galaxy S II or Xperia Neo. But I need to confirm if its not even to galaxy s level in terms of audio quality and volume levels, plz help me folks, I am waiting for some helping replies and plz don't blind fold urself being loyal to ur device becoz my respect for Samsung is immortal, its just that I can't spend 30K blindly. I will have to consider the music segment.

Just do a fine tuning on your volume settings with the 'Samsung Secret Codes'
See this thread for guidance: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1069015
Although for hearing music I had no problems, it was necessary for me to boost the headset volume for voice calls.
oh common, stop with this volume settings with Samsung secret codes, that has been posted by many here that this thing doesn't work. The numbers are re setting themselves back to original. The overall volume is just too low on this phone. I hope the 2.3.4. will adjust it higher.
Highly recommended:
To get clear sound from your Galaxy S II, simply install the free version of the brilliant "Equalizer"-app from Market. It has a five-band equalizer. From there you can increase the levels of the desired frequencies, treble, bass, midrange etc. The Galaxy S II has far to low default treble. This app takes care of that No root, no hassle.
There is also a paid version, but it is just needed if you want more than one custom preset.
But What about the levels of volume? Is it at par with the old Galaxy S?

Well, I'm sorry for your insoluble problem, but I effectively fixed my volume problem in a permanent way (with various reboots with unchanged config after tweaking) using these codes.
I do apologise for my useless advice. I was only trying to help.
I hope you find a solution for your problems soon.

Actually, I've solved my volume problems following the guide of this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=741012 . and not the other one that I mentioned above. Unfortunately, it seems that it applies only for voice and video call volume, not for the media player. That said, I have to say that my music player is very loud, either using the headset or the speaker. I'm using the KE7 stock ROM.
Best of luck for you all guys.
the link you provide is for the old Galaxy S1, and even there guys complain about low level of EAR SPEAKER, and that the tweaked numbers reverse back to original after phone restart or re boot. So my question is: how did you make the new numbers to stay on your phone? I am using same KE7 and stock firmware as well. I can't raise the volume by these codes at all, doesnt stay not even 2 phone calls. Can you reveal the magic how did you do it? ( no offense to you at all, I am just helpless because I can't barely hear people calling me, driving in my car - Mercedes btw...)
Thank you for your help
Most stores (in Sweden anyway) have the phone so you can try it yourself, just go to a shop where either a manager carries it or the store has a demo of it and bring your headphones! You can't go wrong with that!
I have a really nice piece of Denon's (AH-D1001) and even though the phone can't power as well as the older galaxy s, I get a really natural good sound with mine and it's just loud enough. No EQ needed.

Yes, the original thread was for the ancient SGS1, nevertheless, the command still works for the SGS2 (at least for my device). Before I did the 'fine tuning' on my volume settings (following the SGS1 guide on the mentioned thread), I could barely hear the other person's voice in a phone call while using the headset. Now I adjust the volume around 70-75% for making phone calls using the headset, which is more than enough for me. I didn't do anything different than the guide says, and I have no idea why it doesn't work for your device.
Hi, today i noticed a small problem.
If i reboot my phone i don't have any sound until i connect it with my headphones and plug them out.
Do you guys know what the problem may be?
Thanks in advance, small problem but kinda frustrating
It seems everyone is clueless.
It's only the media volume i noticed already. People can call me and i hear my ringtone.
If i do a complete new flash than it's ok but than i occur other problems like no wifi etc...
I guess if no solution comes up, I just wait till 4.0.3 and flash than.
