X10 Ringer volume

So we have root!
Somebody known app or tweak to increase the ringer volume?
Thx

I have no idea!
The volume of the ringer in my X10i is also too bad.
sometime I can't hear what the people said.
I also want to know how to change it.

So no one found a way to increase the ringer volume? I feel sometimes that I am going deaf. I may have to change my ringtone, but this is really annoying missing calls while you are driving.

Ringer as well as incall volume is too low in the X10.

true, but at least I can illuminate the in call volume issue with using bluetooth headset but the ringer...
This is weird that there is no hack for it.

Just use a decent ringtone, I've not found the volume to be a problem.

hey guys
i know theres not a hack for the volume ringer, but what i did was i use a program which can edit music files on my PC, and i just increase the actual volume of the file itself. then i transfer it to my phone and it plays a lot louder on the speaker. hopefully that can work for some of u
the program i use is called 'cool edit pro' however im sure theres a couple of programs which can do the same thing.
the effect is called 'increase amplitude', i usually use a scientific filter to decrease the amount of base in a song (which hte x10's speakerphone distorts anyways) and then increase the amplitude by about 10dB's. makes it a lot louder on the actual phone vs just putting the original mp3 in.

Ringtone is decent, volume sucks.
Thanks for your solution but that wasn't what I was looking for. I want to explode my speaker and I am looking for a hack.
Cheers,

search google for editing audiopara.csv, not sure how to do it myself as I find the volume to be mostly fine, but that is the key to changing it
just lookied at my /system dump, it's actualy audiofilter.csv on x10, and it's in system/etc

[Q] External Speaker loud

External Speaker to loud
Does anyone know of a mod or adjustment to decrease the external speaker volume? On the lowest setting it’s loud. I like to listen to slacker at night before going to sleep. I have the Galaxy 4G with the following:
[ROM][ODIN] Stock DEODEXED KD1 [Root][EDT][5.4.2011]
[KERNEL] Bali [VoodooSnd / BLN / BFQ / no OC] "Extended Battery Life" [5/24/2011]
Thank you

Get voodoo control. You can adjust the speakers volume through that.

Thank you for the fast reply. Voodoo control will control the speaker on the phone? I don't mean the head phones the speaker on the back.

Yes it definitely will. I increased my volume over the limit on the speaker atm.

Where's the speaker ATM setting? I have voodoo control plus 1.0.7.3 I don't see that option? Thank you

I just changed the volume limit. That should work. If it doesn't I dunno what to tell you.

OK thank you for trying. Maybe someone else has an answer. Just to be clear one more time. I'm talking about the speaker on the phone not any headphones. When I listen to the phone speaker it's to loud on the lowest setting. I would like to adjust the volume to a lower level. I don't see that option in voodoo sound only for the Headphone amplifier.

Voodoo works. On home screen long press the home screen, choose shortcut, choose voodoo. That will let you adjust the volume. The more -DB will decrease your volume. Hope that helps
Oops sorry. That's only for headphones =P

Does no one have an answer for my request? Thank you

I don't want to point out what might be obvious but when I use the speakerphone for calls and music alike (both from external speaker on back of phone) I just start the call or song and then use the volume rocker on the side of the phone. Does this help?

Thank you for pointing out the obvious , but no that doesn't help. Ok using the volume rocker on the side the external speaker on back of phone is too loud on the lowest setting when playing music at night. Example when playing slacker I use the volume rocker on the side of the phone this is adjusting media volume. The question " Is there a way to adjust the gain to a lower value on the lowest setting so the volume is lower?" One of the developers should know a way to adjust the gain in maybe the kernel or somewhere?

Let me answer your question since it appears you need a straight forward response.
NO there is nothing to change the external speaker volume.
Additionally,.... TOO LOUD? The put some cloth on the speaker, put it on a pillow, do something to muffle the sound, but please, you have your answer... now let it die.

The op came here with a problem and was looking for a legitimate answer. Please don't get curt with posters because you think that their question isn't worth your time. I find that muffling the sound of the phone with a pillow to be unacceptable. Hopefully the op finds the answer that he needs before people like you tarnish the reason why open forums are here.

If there's a way to control alsa that may be the way to go .

Thank you I'm glad someone supports what I have to say and not be rude about it. I hope that someone could come up with a fix. I'll be patiently waiting an answer fingers crossed. Oh by the way the pillow does work but it's not a fix I like. Thank you everyone!

Bro you must have the hearing of a f'n bat cause even with the back speaker all the way up its still not loud to me. But I would say I have selective hearing( only hear what you want when you want and tune the other BS out). As for getting a lower volume try elixir app in the market it gives you 1 or 2 more options on volume. I would try turning system and music down once you have the app. Hope this helps

Thank you GDofWR420 for introducing me to the Elixir App. Unfortunately it didn’t resolve my issue. I guess my speaker is extra loud or something. Anyways under music “which is the same as media volume” it has 1/15 on settings 1 being the lowest with a percentage of 7% percent. It would be nice to change that to maybe 3%. This must be hard coded somewhere in a file. This app will not set it to a lower value. I also downloaded SamServMode went through all the options and still no change. It’s a pretty cool app to change system settings. Thank you so much GDofWR420 for trying.

any way to turn the in call volume up?

My only gripe is the in call volume is way too low.

Have you checked the Hearing aid compatibility under your settings. On my vibrant, HAC mode made it really loud.

I've searched, I've read threads, I still havent found a good solution to this. I have the in call volume turned all the way up just to have it at a "normal" volume level, but then when I get one of those people with a quiet phone, I have no more adjustment to turn it up louder.
Why is it so hard to build a phone where the LOW volume is at a "normal" level so you can use the HIGH level for certain times you have a quiet call or are in a loud environment (like a shop where I work)?
I have Volume+ on my phone, but it doesnt do anything for the in-call volume. Also, when I go into settings/call there is NO OPTION for hearing aid whatever on any of the ROMs I've been running.
Does anyone know what file it is in the ROM which dictates the volume? Or is it in the kernel? Anything that could help? This is severely aggravating...

Anyone?

.. volume plus does not increase in-call volume, as the man says:
" Hi
I'm currently attempting to raise/improve the call volume but have so far been unsuccessful (when a call is active, the phone takes over all audio control, which i'm trying to get back, but I don't know if it's even possible).
For news and updates please see my website "

Hmmm...I was sure Volume+ also worked for in call volume...guess not

Yup. It works for my headphones and external speaker, but not the in call speaker.

Few Problems

I have a few problems that occur on every rom I flash.
1. When ever I make a call or call someone, it uses the speaker phone by default.
2. The Car Home app opens randomly and can be annoying.
3. I cant change the media volume when headphones are plugged in.
- The volume is at it's loudest and there is no way for me to change it.
If anyone could help, it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I would search and check other threads before opening new ones. There is an ongoing conversation about the speakerphone issue and I believe it has to do with GoSMS. Not going into detail here as like I said there is another thread already developed. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1242116
If your volume is at max then it is at max. Or do you mean since it is at max, you can't lower it? Might also be an issue related to GoSMS. Never heard anyone mention about this before.

Sorry, I searched in the Q&A forum, but I didn't think to search in the General forum. I never used GoSMS so that can't be the problem.
If I plug in head phones and try to listen to music, the volume is always at it's loudest and I cant lower it (tried using volume bottons and in the settings).
I think all these issues have something to do with the Car Home app. Also thanks for your reply.
Edit: I removed the Car Home app from the zip and re-flashed. The media volume problem is fixed now but even though I removed the application, it still says in the notification bar that it's running. And speaker is the default option when I try calling someone.

I have seen people with issues with the car home app. But I can't recall if it was in the inspire section or the desire HD section. Goodluck.

Ok, thanks for trying at least.

Symphony of Eternity -- Volume Bug

When i try to change the volume when I am playing this game it doesn't just change the media volume. If I try to turn up the volume while my phone is in vibrate mode, it will switch my phone into silent and into the loud volume (just as if I were at the homescreen trying to change the volume). Once it turns to the loud volume, THEN it will start adjusting the media volume instead of my phone's volume.
So basically, I can't change the volume within the app unless my phone is in silent / vibrate. It will change those settings to take it out of silent / vibrate before adjusting media volume.
Anyone know a fix for this, or is anyone else seeing the same problem?
Edit: The developers have just emailed me back and here is what they said --
Dear Anthony,
I'm sorry but the current function about the sound, in app volume and device's media volume is not co-working, is specification needed in some devices. Thus we can't remove it now. It is still possible that we'll change the function in the future, but we can't guarantee it. Anyway thanks for indicating the point of improvement. I hope you'll contact us again if there're any good ideas or issues.
Sincerely,
KEMCO_GAMES

Well let's hope that they decide to fix it soon then!
