Thanks to @DennisDD78 for the first file and yet again giving me the heads-up about a new device released
I'll make it quick and easy.
There are 2 versions now:
1. Just stereo
2. stereo w/ headphones boost
First one will enable both speakers on loudspeaker mode on incoming call and the second version will additionally boost headphones output (louder headphones)
Of course, as always, there will be no quality loss at all caused by this!
Firmware 23.0.A.2.93
Just stereo
Stereo w/ headphones boost
Enjoy!

Well, thank you very much for your speed, but no, man, there`s still only one speaker when call I`m afraid Sony changed something, what exactly, i don`t know, but the fact is the only one speaker playing
With the Z2 mod same thing. Sound is working, but only one speaker as default.

Just make sure you take a backup first and you'll be fine. Although it's for Z1 the actual audio driver is from ZUltra.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

No, I didn't touch anything. I was so happy that it's finally gone, so I dare not make any changes afraid that it might came back, but alas, some moments later is its back.
I think mine is hardware speakers problems.
ahh that sucks! i'm kind of in the same boat but as soon as it starts again then looks like we'll be sharing the same boat eh? xD...
I just got this issue. I have never experienced it before. I turned off X-Loud, increasing ringtone and rebooted and ironically the sound level is back to normal.
This thing just re-appeared over night. So I missed the alarm this morning because of it as the sound level was terribly low. Reboot and volumes are back to normal. This seems like a nasty bug.

Hmm Sony keeps messing things up with the sound. Last firmware it was the sound enhancement issue. Now this.

I don't know if it's related or not but when you have "touch sounds" enabled the volume of the touch sound differs greatly occasionally. Sometimes it's like half the normal volume. It's very inconsistent too. These things might be related.
Also.... issue.
I am Also having issue.
I thought my volume got small after update but......
the phone is hard time choosing ear speaker or louad spaeker at bottom when I try to play music or video.....
Sad......
I also hate hissing sound coming from loud speaker whenever I press link or icon or appp... arrrrrggg

Actually when the sound is playing from ear piece, you could just drag the Notification bar and switch between Notification and Quick Setting. I know sounds ridiculous but it works without restart.
I have a strange issue with my s2, the mic records fine. But when I make a call the other person dosent hear me, I flashed different firmware but still no good.

uhh okay!!
installing stock ROM should work... strange... you are installing the correct version right?
it can't be a hardware problem as mic is working..
try to remove any malicious app maybe a call recorder??? cause that might be muting your mic??
i am soo curious.. please let me know if you find out the fix

What happens when you use your hands free in a call?
For an experiment, you can flash a custom kernel and in the kernel configuration app you can boost the microphone output.
I will give a custom kernel a try when I get to the office. And I haven't installed any app

Did your problem get solved???
I'm having the same problem in Slim Saber 4.4.4 (build 21/12). When i call using phone mic other person can't hear me. When i speak through head phone mic they can hear. Also they can hear me speaking when my phone is in loud speaker.
I checked it in a phone repair shop and he said it is not a hardware problem
Still waiting for a solution.

I have an issue with the headphone jack. I use third party headphones (I dont have the stock Sony ones) and when I plug them in, the sound comes out of the phone's external speaker most of the time. I get the symbol in the status bar to say 'Headset connected'. Sometimes the sound DOES come out of the headphones but seemingly randomly! Tried different headphones and applications on the phone. I have used Sony's Update Service software to download and reinstall the latest ROM but this has not fixed the problem.. My Ultra is on 4.4.2, buildd number: 14.3.A.0.757
Anyone had this issue?
Thanks!
I didnt have this issue by my c6802 and a stock headphone with rom version as you have, before i heared some peaple had this problem with other version(lower build number,i think) maybe this is of your nonstock headphone. Why didnt update to newer 14.4.a.0.108? Maybe it disapear againe.

if you feel comfortable you could flash a generic FTF so you are on the latest 4.4.4 (xxxx.108) firmware from sony. You dont have to be rooted to do this.

Yes I could do that but only worth it really if it actuall resolves the problem. I had a Z ultra last year and that one didn't have this issue. I think I will give that 4.4.4 a go this weekend - do you know if it would affect warranty at all?
Thanks

It might, depending on the service centre.
Have a search about speaker/headset issues, I think it only affected 4.4.2 and that was updated quite quick and resolved the issue for most people that had the problem

This might be a stupid question, but have you tried other headphones?
I have used 3 types of Beats (Solo HD, PRO, UrBeats) as well as the original ones, never had any problem.

believe me it has for almost all users (the ones that haven't fixed the issue probably have a user error). there would still be outcry on here if it hadn't
Yes i have some apple earpods which work some of the time and some Astro A30s which dont work at all.

happened to me after having xzu for 3 or so months - I got a new warranty replacement (had a 6802, received a new 6833 ftw)
This happened once last week when I plugged the stock earplugs in when I also received a message, and it played the audio through the external speakers. I unplugged it and plugged it again, and it was back to normal. Probably a glitch in the matrix.
I have a C6833 and this problem started a few months back with my device.
Now it happens about every time I pause the music. When I hit play or resume the audio is coming from the internal speaker so I have to unplug the cable and plug it back in and that solves the problem at least for the moment. Some days my device does what it suppose to do just great. And other periods it just sends the stream back to the internal speaker all the time whenever I pause the music.
I have flashed the latest .108 but problem still exists. It might be some error with the hardware what do I know. For now I won't take the time to send it in for service. Perhaps I will send it to repair right before my warranty expires just to make some use of it
I use the stock headphones, and some Apple just some generic Apple earphones that you receive in the box when you buy an Iphone 5 or later
I have the sbh52 and the headphones that came with that work perfectly so far. Apple earpods work some of the time and Astro A30s dont work at all. Whuch makes me think its software.
