Any App to increase ringer or call volume? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

Back in the day I used volume ++ on galaxy nexus... Anyone have any other ideas? I'm not quite happy with call volume on an AOSP rom

Actually, it turns out you DON'T need one!
Samsung thought about this long and hard...finally, they decided to add an actual button on the side of the phone that will do it!! You may see a (+), that means LOUDER. The (-) one means QUIETER! Samsung is the absolute best!

[Q] Potential camera problem?

Ive been using the camera without any issues so im not sure if it is related only to a couple apps or if its a possible problem with the camera that may get worse over time.
When using redlaser or att code scanner, after the item is done being scanned, the camera itself makes an audible click which is not a shutter noise. You can feel it, its not as strong a feel as the haptic feedback so i believe its the camera.
Is this something i should be worried about? Should i do an exchange on it?
On a side note, this click does not happen with the normal camera app or with any others ive used, just redlaser and att code scanner so far.
try factory restart

If so, I just tested this...all I did was turn the ringer on and un-check vibrate. I made a test call and it just rang, with no vibration.
I personally would like to know how to change the rockers to not take it off of vibrate. I am tired of hitting these damn things every time I touch the phone.

Yes. I always leave mine on vibrate.
I turned the volume up 2 notches. 1 past silent.
Went to settings>sound>vibrate. Then I unchecked it. I just tried again and it works a treat.
I am on Fresh 5.0.0
I tried it on my partners who is stock, but is "rooted" same results. With and without the screen on.
NOTE: Haptic feedback is still working with that setting un-checked.
I have a 3rd EVO 4G LTE that I haven't rooted and can test on if I need, but he isn't here today. Also, I doubt very seriously the results will be any different.
ok thanks ls3mach, mine must have a glitch in the system cause vibrate is unticked in setting>sound>vibrate,and every time I recieve a call it vibrate and ring!
might have to go to sprint and let them check it out

Try a hard reset before you bother with those goons.

How to make the HTC logo a home button

I'm just posting this information for anyone who might want to use it. I'm not sure if it works on our version but maybe someone will be daring enough to try it:
Android Central says: " ...there are two versions of his package -- one uses the Home button to wake the device and the logo to turn off the screen, and the other allows the logo to act as a menu button.
Things are still a little shaky on some versions of the software, but if you read through the entire thread there are a couple of solutions to get everything -- including an audio routing fix for earpiece volume issues -- working, at least for the GSM versions. "

Calls dropping out

On my Verizon LG G3 sometimes people I am talking to complain that it sounds like I am getting far away and then they can not hear me for a second before the audio for them comes back. When I researched this other people with the Verizon G3 have had this issue and I am wondering now that custom recovery can be flashed, will custom roms/kernals fix this issue? it seems like there is something off with the noise cancellation and that is why it cuts out if not held just the right way.
Having the same issue, wondering the same thing.. Hope it'll 'get fixed' though.
I upgraded using the Best Buy method to keep my UDP. Anybody no if it ok now to then going into Best Buy and try to warranty the phone or go Into Verizon for a new sim card?

What problems u having
Same problem here. Have found no solution so far...
Only started happening to me when they started rolling out VOLTE in my area.
I have always had it. Drives me nuts, but it's just hear and there. More annoying than anything I guess. Figured coming from T-Mobile it would be better voice. Boy was I wrong....
I disabled two items like call enhancement and background noise suppression or something like that and in call audio
issues went Away. I froze all vzw apps and lots of others and was thinking the combo may have been issue

I have voice enhancement unchecked but,I don't have an option for background noise suppression/cancellation. Is that an extra option that you need root to access? My solution for this issue is to sell my g3 and switch to a new phone.

I might have to root my g3 and try this. My note 4 is getting delivered tomorrow but if this works for my phone I might have to return the note 4. Do you have problems on your calls now with background noise coming through making people you are talking to able to hear that noise easily now?
G3 toolbox in play store. Not sure if that setting needs root. Not sure if you need xposed for g3 toolbox module. Not sure if you u need donation g3 toolbox. Sounds more like hardware defect....but I'm not a doctor. G3 lifer here.

Well I was able to install g3 tweakbox without root and saw the noise cancellation item and it was unchecked already. Not sure if it was because I was not rooted and maybe if i root and install exposed that when I go in it would be checked off for noise cancellation so that I could then disable it.

Bad call quality

The sound on my s9 plus seems to sounds a bit muffled and not crispy at all. Does anyone know what I can do. I think i can live with it but it's annoying compared to the crisp sound of my note 4
It's terrible in comparison to my S6 Edge+.
Every call so far, I have had to get people to txt me a number so I can call them back from a landline.
At this rate I'll be returning the phone.

My s9+ got an update today, that is supposed to fix those issues.
Exynos variant, PHN firmware

I don't have any options around "HD calling" as I'm not in the US - I believe it's a Sprint or other US carrier option only.
If I understand the option correctly it's part of VoLTE?

I saw that there was a release in Germany a few days back to resolve call stability, which some sites also claimed to resolve call quality issues.
Version G965FXXU1ARCC by the looks of it. Can you post what version/build number your device now has? Mine is G965FXXU1ARC4.

I placed a support call to Samsung yesterday, we did some troubleshooting including swapping the SIM for my wife's one.
I'm on Spark NZ, she's on Vodafone NZ, and the call quality with hers was perfect.
Her SIM is new, as her device (my Galaxy S6 Edge Plus) was the first she's had with a nano SIM.
My SIM is older, maybe 2 years old.
Anyway Samsung has grabbed hard onto that snippet of info and advised me to get a replacement SIM, and place a new support call if the issue continues.
@jeremysherriff - I am on R16NW.G965FXXU1ARCC
Well for me in Portugal , when i start a call with any one, the sound is really really good at the start i can hear them clearly, and then it gets lower, and lower , and worst and worst i don't understand why, i can still hear them properly, but not as clear as the start of the phone call
