Hello Guys, I got a Jellybean Updated phone [LSJ] from ebay and updated it to official Firmware [LSE]. But when I compared it with another Friends S2 [Running ICS] i found out that it far more louder than mine.
I found a Way to increase the volume by going to Service Mode [Dialing *#*#197328640#*#* ] but I don't get anything after putting these numbers.
My phone is rooted and everything ese running fine, but sadly the volume is average. Please help.
Thanks

One question: are u talking about external speaker volume or in-call volume?

I am talking about inbuilt speaker volume and its not just about calls, its about Music and Video Files. All sound coming out from my phone speaker is kind of low. Is there anyway to boost the volume than the normal?

No.
Changing a baseband (modem) will not do anything for volume other than call volume where the poor volume is caused by poor reception/connectivity issue. And even then it's not really 'fixing a low/poor call volume issue', it's more allowing normal call volume by fixing the reception/connectivity issues.
It will not make one iota of difference to ringtone, alerts, alarms, media volumes, etc.
It is good to be aggressive, i think you did not properly go through my post. I have clearly said that in call volume will be affected others will not. I have tried this and it has worked for me at least rest, you are the boss.

The OP made it abundantly clear it wasn't a call volume issue, and the person who revived this thread yesterday made absolutely no mention of what type of volume issue he was having.
My point about changing modems stands, that particular modem will more than likely work best with a particular carrier/or in a particular country (given specific modems are bundled with stock roms released by different carriers), and may actually make other people's connectivity worse.
Check.
And mate.

The Galaxy S2 / i9100 Jelly Bean update needs different approach to raise the in-call / headset volume than previus versions.
First you need to flash a modem which allows audio to be modified. For example the XXKI3. If you dont do it you couldn't access the necesary menus.
Next do the following:
1. Enter this number in the dialer to access the service mode: *#19732864*
2. go to [5] Audio
3. [1] NB (VOICE CALL)
4. [7]HANDSET (2MIC)
5. [1]Volume
6. [1]SRC Speech RX Volume
7. [5]5_lvl: 88
8. menu button / key input and insert a 100
9. Exit the menu and you've done!

Dont know why, but on Omega rom, with Siyah kernel, I cant enter 5 AUDIO menu at all. In call volume is low. On the same rom, and kernel before reflash everything was ok. Before rom flash did Rom Nuke, also Kernel Wipe. This is crazy...

Hi Comm
I have my SGA since end of August and feel the volumeoutput for phonecalling is much too quiet. My talkingpartners don't have a problem to hear me, so i guess the mic should be ok, but when there is too much ambient noise i can drop the call.
All soundsettings are at MAX
Only help atm is to use my BT Headset, so i can turn it louder. But using the Headset should be optional, not a must.
Anyone of you got an idea to that? And yes, i already removed the protection plastic of the phone.
My brother has the same phone with the same issue.
Thanks

u on froyo or gingerbread? if still on froyo, try upgrade to gingerbread and see if the problem still exist. maybe its just rom/modem problem. if u already on gingerbread maybe u can flash just the modem if it makes any difference
btw here a thread with many modem collection for ace http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1289830
Hi an0nym0us
I was on Gingerbread and did a ROM flash to GingerReal 1.4 (SGA-GR-1.4_GINGERBREAD.XWKPW) - same issue on both ROMs.
Can i flash different modem settings without having my actual ROM being confused? Or should i flash the ROM again when having new modem drivers?
Br Morph
I say it's hardware problem. I had my own ace having speakerphone problems, couldn't hear anything too.
if its hardware problem, service centre is the one and only solution
but is it just purely coincidence that op and his brother had the same problem?

Well you could flash back to your regional rom and pretend it was just a factory reset.
good morning
i won't go to the service center, because i know those peeps. I give them my new handy, just to received it back two weeks later (or even longer), unchanged. Statement: everything ok.

already found discusion about this issue in here about one year ago,but no solution...anyone else having the same problem: ringtone volume decreasing itself??
have no any app.related with system volume, and my evo is no rooted, original latest ROM ..
thank you
Just to be sure... Theres a function under sound settings that will decrease ring volume when you pick/move the phone. If you are aware of that, then someone else hopefully will help.
no,is not the issue...no matterif is on or off,volume still mixed up and changing itselfs
Does it happen even when you reset phone to factory default settings without installing anything? Maybe some app is messing with it. Please link me to thread that you've found about that issue.

Thats really weird. You should send it to warranty service and ask to investigate issue as it seems to be factory defect. If its OS fault somehow, you can always wait for ICS update and see if it works properly after Im curious about that.
I have a similar issue and I suspect it's the same as yours. I just chose to ignore it though... What I've noticed is sometimes when pressing the volume buttons on the side to increase the ringer volume, it might automatically jump to the maximum volume without anything in between. When it does this, it will briefly act as if it's at max volume. But then go back to being just increased by one level instead. If it makes the in between adjustments on it's way to max volume, then the volume won't "change" on me magically. It is a bug, but not sure why it's there. I've seen this happen on I think every ROM I've tried (which is a handful) and the stock one.
Now in terms of MEDIA volume being different across the board. I haven't really figured this works quite yet, but it seems like media volume is remembered between activities/apps. Volume for my music is always different than the volume of videos I'm watching on a website with the flash player and different than the volume for playing games. This I feel is a feature more than a bug and am happy to have it.
I hope this sheds some light to your problem. I know it's no solution, but might help you identify what's happening to see when the volume does change.
Thats what I thought...just will try to set max.volume in every posible app. and players

Im not using that app...just check system volume settings and ringer level volume is the same as notification volume ..same when you tick :use incoming call volume for notifications..but I didnt...looks like system ignoring separatelly settings for both volumes and using same level no matter if you choose this option..
Hi
I really hope I can find an answer here. My speaker volume during call is too low, especially when I use it during driving.
Apps like Volume+ cannot solve this as they only boost the overall volume, and the results are not good enough (cal vol still too low, ring tome distort)
So I tried to boost spk vol using service/engineering mode menu
Dialed code *#*#197328640#*#* and taped optin 5 - Audio. But nothing happens. I looked it up and it turns out that Samsung blocked the Audio menu for some unknown reason. It also turns out that ths limitation is coded in the modem used. So I changed the modem to onld KI3 (GB modem). Amazingly it worked. Audio menu unlocked and I could change the max spk vol from 88 to 100 and my spkr during call was boosted and sounded just great...
BUT, my signal reception and bat draining is the worst I ever had. Plus, I cannot install a matching RIL because this is a GB based modem and I'm running ICS 404.
So, since the audio menu blocking is a modem related issue, I there any way to patch/hack an ICS modem.bin to unlock the service mode audio menu??? I've searched the entire internet and this entire forum and could not find an answer. There are so many fine and talented devs here, I wonder why no one has found a workaround for this. Is it technically possible to restore the audio menu in service mode? Is where are all these settings saved? I noticed there is a system app named servicemode.apk. Could this be patched? Is there a config file that holds all the menu settings?
I promise to buy a full case of beer to any dev who will find a solution to this. Also I cannot understand why samsung set the max spk vol to 88%and not 100%...?
Thanks
If you flash the old modem, change the volume then flash a newer modem does it not retain the volume settings? It worked with me for WBAMR settings.

Thanks. Already tried that. WBAMR works, but not with audio settings. In fact, even if you leave the old moden, audio settings get reset to default after each reboot... I really don't know samsung so anxious to prevent us from changing audio settings.. And why are they setting all max volume to only 88 or 86%???
To bad no one cares about this and try to do something... There must be a way to decompile modem.bin and unlock it.. I wish I knew how...
Fair enough. I tested it myself as I find the handset volume too quiet in many calls myself. If it was just possible to get into the audio menu then a Tasker script can be used to automate resetting the volume to 100 or whatever after every reboot. It's getting the audio menu that's the problem.
I don't understand wtf it would be locked out, why??!

So no one did fix this nor find a solution? I have used Omega rom for a year, and volume settings did work from STweaks. But after I did reflash on the same rom, same kernel, these setting do not work on in call volume. I mean, yes, ringtones are louder and other sound, but talking on the phone in a bit loud place in pain in....
I don't remember what modem I had, but I always thought it's newest one. Now I can't enter AUDIO menu, and cannot boost incall volume...
This may be because of some APK that samsung has in it's rom. When I installed Omega, "in this time" I tried NOT to install Samsung crap programs, and made thing simple. Maybe that is because of some missing APK?
Please gurus, help me, this is just stupid and making me crazy.
P.S.
This forum sometimes feels like dead one..
I've had this issue since the galaxy s2 released and first bought it. Anytime someone calls me they say im whispering or talking to softly into the phone and I literally have to yell into the phone just so that they can hear me. I am looking for working suggestions on how to fix this. I have tried http://www.ctrlplusz.com/2011/06/fix-for-low-microphone-volume-on-the-samsung-galaxy-s-ii/
but after entering the number nothing happens.
What firmware are you on? Ics,Jb ? Try dorimanx and up the level by a few db. Also have you had a chance to change network and see if its network problem. Even a modem change could possibly help.

Thank you for the quick reply. I am using 4.1.2 on neat roms latest v4.8. I have tried various modems such as kg2/kg6 i am currently using lpj. I'm also using philz kernel. I haven't noticed any difference at all my signal is fine it is around -60dbm. Don't quite follow upping the db with dorminax?
In stweaks you can change mic db. 8.xx for 4.1.2 not 9.xx try and see. Have a read about dorimanx.

I'm very sure its not the mic problem .....its something related to the mic settings(modem settings ) .....
Any pro please guide me to solve this problem. Please help.

Hate to bump my old thread but i'm still having this issue. I've opened the phone and removed the rubber hood over the mic and have seen no improvement. I also have dorimax installed with the mic volume level at 8db and still it sounds like im muffled and far from the phone;/
I would advise to use apollo regular kernel and install appollo configrator from play store and increase the volume.

I did the same, but dB boost doesn't work on mic.
I never tried apollo, I think it is stock based (correct me if I'm wrong)
I always like beta's, testing out new features and already have the goods that the stable version also has.

It doesn't work on every rom.
I have a Galaxy S3 International model and the mike volume during calls is crap.
If I use an ear piece no problems,
if i use skype the hands free works beautifully.
If i use it normally or handsfree for an actual phone call i have to nearly yell into the phone to be heard.
I have tried *#*#197328640#*#* but can not get into the audio menu, that just doesnt work. Other menu items do.
The phone is rooted and I am using cm 10.2.
I have tried doing a factory reset and reloading the rom but no luck there.
have done lots of googling but most pages i have found talk of hardware faults or a blocked mike hole which isnt my issue as it works fine with the earpiece and with skype.
i have looked at the profiles, tried turning them on and off. I suspect that there must be a setting somewhere but damned if i can find it.
Anyone got any ideas ?
thanks
Go back to stock 10.1.2 and test, S3 has two microphones so skype isn't a valid test.
If problem is still there on stock then you need a service centre.
Built in mike has modifiers on stock rom in the default gain file . But as i understand it it does not apply or is a different file for Android roms .
jje
are you using a custom kernel? if so, that's what is tweaking your mic gain. try the proper kernel for your rom that allows audio tweaking or ones that are properly tweaked out the box
