oops...no, I believe that one is only for stereo audio out...I didn't realize you wanted it for calls too
That one you first saw is probably your best bet, they'll all be close to that price. And, most any that you see that say they'll work with another HTC model should work fine on the Rhodium, as they all use the same USB headset protocol.
so HTC Tattoo will be ok to use then?

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.

I don't know what you mean by "will this root work here in the UK". Are you planning on buying just the regular International version of the Galaxy S3? Answer to question 2 is yes.

[EDIT]: nvm
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

Just ordered the S3 blue, to be delivered tomorrow.... I am going to need some hand hold here to blow that volume hack so whatever you please do not shout at me. I read up on the mod zip file but it left me slightly confused.... Are there any step by step instructions on how to apply the rom?

Well you first have to achieve root and flash clockworkmod ecovery.
From recovery you will be able ro install roms and tweaks like the "extremely loud volume hack" you need.

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.

Let me know if you want to stay stock but rooted .. GVM works well but .. in past Galaxies nothing compares to voodoo .. waiting for JB to install Siyah or Franco.

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

Does anyone else hear a faint crackling from the earpiece, similar to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/help/hear-faint-static-earpiece-normal-t2454552
It's very faint, but enough to bother me a lot during a call, and it persists, but not as much when I am out of a call.
This is normal right?

I used to have this problem but then someone here (can't remember who unfortunately) told me to open the dialer, click the menu button, go into call settings, and disable voice enhancement.
Ever since I did that I haven't heard the crackling. Hope this helps
I thought I was crazy when I heard it but turning off voice enhancement doesn't get rid of it. Fortunately it's faint.
Yeah the voice enhancement didn't get rid of it :/ Is it worth returning it in for a new one? It's already rooted :c

I'm debating returning mine although mine isn't rooted. But I bought it at best buy so would best buy be the one to exchange it or would sprint since it's their device?

I just spoke with a Sprint rep, and she told me that this crackling issue is common among their other LG G3 customers, but it should NOT be occurring, so I'm going to send mine back to Amazon and get another phone that is hopefully not defective.
After a second trip to the sprint store with the problem already documented in their system they finally agreed to order a replacement for me. Hopefully the new one isn't part of the same batch that had the problem.

OK update... New replacement in hand since last Saturday and made numerous calls with and without the charger connected and do not hear the crackling... Definitely a faulty unit.
Take it back if it is. They may not take it right away unless they can reproduce the sound immediately. Eventually they will if u take it back and complain a second time.

The crackling does not sound like a blown speaker... it sounds more like electrical noise interfering with the audio of the earpiece... I'm thinking it was a grounding issue...
It seems as though since I've been on the Hyperdrive ROM there has bee issues with video chat in hangouts. Whoever I chat with cannot hear me because the audio is high pitched like I was one of the chipmunks. I've been through all of the settings and cannot find anything that would change this. Any thoughts? Has anyone else experienced this?

Actually the microwave worked really well for me. I put it in for 5 minutes on high, flipped it and did another 5 minutes and the chipmunk like sounds were gone. Oh remove your SD card first though! Lesson learned the hard way on that one!
Has anyone downloaded the latest Hangout APK to see if the voice issue has been cleared up?
I don't think throwing your phone in the washer machine would actually solve the issue.
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!
