I have a Motorola Droid which I am running Bugless Beast on. Ever since I installed this ROM I have noticed that the in-call volume si extremely quite and i have a hard time hearing most of the time. does anyone know of a way to increase the in-call volume so that I can actually hear again? I really like this ROM and don't really want to switch to a different one so that I an hear again.
i'm looking for the same thing all though not rom specific i just need the in call volume louder and have been searching everywhere.
Some say they don't hear the difference in the tiny audio issue,from the flat out LOW volume output this phone has as a stock phone.
There's a fix for the tiny audio.. for desire roms and cyanogen roms.
Does anyone know if they are doing something for the low volume output when volumes maxed out?
Is HTC going to release a new kernel for this issue.People can't hear calls,ringers or notifications regardless how high the volume is up.
Probably not.
Custom roms typically have an audio boost of around 20%. If your looking for a louder phone just flash a custom rom.
I think cyan will eventually get the better audio boost at some point, just like how it fixed the nexus one and desire low volume.
So in order to make my inspire louder i have to root it? I heard rooting the inspire was kinda of tricky so i don't want to do it, but if it's the only way to make the phone louder i guess i'll have to.
Download Volume+ from the market, or free from the forums here at XDA. It doesn't need root, but only works with Gingerbread(which is the current stock firmware anyway).

Rooting is not that hard on this phone. Just takes patience and carefulness. Also I noticed a great difference from Stock Vol when I switched to Coredroid rom!
hi guys just purchased w007 iphone copy running ics 4.0.4 and i must say that its pretty awesome but i've got a problem and need abit of help. the other day i noticed my in call volume was really low even on the highest settings. did a factory reset and everything but it is still the same, the media speaker is fine so i can make calls on speakerphone but the earpiece is barely audible. it was fine before and then just really low, thinking its some fault with the speaker. looked into getting a app to boost incall volume past the manufacturer settings and found out volume+ would do it but only if the phone was rooted which i did (and was quite easy to do). however even though the phone is rooted the call volume option (which ive seen in screen shots) is not present even though ive granted volume+ superuser permissions. so im thinking you actually need to be running a custom rom to get this option. now this is a copy chinaphone so info about it is pretty hard to find so i was wondering if anyone knew what customs roms are out for it and actually how to flash one to it. even better if anyone knows how to increase the call volume maybe by build prop or some other app or other way that would be awesome.
My Skyrocket has always had low earpiece volume. It sounds normal until I get in a noisy environment, then I have to press my ear totally against the phone which barely helps. My wife's Galaxy s2 i777 has louder volume and doesn't have this problem. I have tried all the available roms for my device to no avail. Is this normal for this phone, and if so, is there anything I can do to fix this problem? Any app that will work? I love this phone as it meets all my needs except for the volume. Thanks for your help!
edit: i bought this phones 2 months ago from Ebay. I researched it before i bought it, but the main issues others had with the skyrocket was the battery life with LTE. Well, the battery life has been great after custom rom, But the volume is terrible. I first thought i was sold a defective phone but then i found out that others had the same problem, but no solutions. Even all the volume boosts apps that work on other phones (for reasons WAY above my pay grade) do not work on our skyrocket.
...Anybody?... I know this problem of low earpiece volume is common with the skyrocket and has been brought up on many different forums, but I have not found anyone who has found a way to resolve the problem. Any help or direction would be appreciated. This trouble exist with both stock and custom roms.
still no answers?...sigh...
Well, I have replaced the earspeaker and the problem still persists. To clarify, the speaker is not as low as it was when Beanstalk 4.4 was going thru its growing pains and the volume level dropped after one of the builds a month or so ago. It is just that standing outside with normal outdoor sounds (occasional traffic, birds tweeting, outdoor noises) ihave to hold my ear directly against the speaker. I dont have that problem with my wife's s2 i777
Well, a month has passed with no replies. I have found that the volume level is good when using a headset to answer calls, so I have resorted to trying to be sure to carry earbuds with me. On the rare occasion that I dont have earbuds are the days I dread having this phone. As I us my phone for work, I need it to work as a phone first, and a smartphone secondary. As I stated before, I love the features of this phone, but there has to be a workaround for the volume levels. Maybe I'm just getting old and you young folks dont use the phone to actually speak to each other. Woah! Who let my dad in the room?!!? Anyway, Still looking for help. I am not asking which rom is better than another, but are there any roms that have louder volume levels? I have tried many here including Beanstalk, Dirty Unicorns, Liquid Smooth, Sultans CM 11...

Bean Stalk comes with am app called DSP manager which helps control volumes for bluetooth headsets. Give that a shot. It may just be your headset

The headset isn't the problem. The phone sounds great thru all the headsets that I have tried and thru the loudspeaker. The low volume level is when I am not using the headset and actually have to place my ear up to the phone(earpiece speaker). Its usable in normal areas, such as inside a room, but standing outside with normal background sounds like nature and light road traffic, I can barely hear the caller. I have to press my ear against the phone pretty hard, which usually ends up with accidental button presses and hangups.

Oh i understand, yes I have had that same issue which is why i bought a blue tooth headset.... Not sure if programming can do anything about the internal speaker.

Yeah, I was kinda hoping that maybe somebody discovered something that solve this. I don't know anything about programming, but I was thinking that back when beanstalk had those troubles with extra low volume, it was eventually fixed. And since he was able to boost the volume back to correct levels maybe it could be boosted just a little bit more. Or Since DSP works with bluetooth speakers and headphones and external speakers it seems like it would be easy to make it boost the earpiece volume. But I know that it is NOT easy...it may be impossible. If it was easy then there would have been a fix long ago. But a man can hope, can't he?
Is anyone else finding their call volume seems pretty low, my older s4 seemed to have been a little louder at full volume, but when full on the s6 im struggling to hear people sometimes.
Also, there is an option called 'extra volume' and when i press this on, there doesnt seem to be any difference in volume?
James
I noticed this too
Wow I expected the S6 to be revolutionary phone, but it's just full of problems...so dissapointed right now, hoping some smart developer will make a perfect rom for this device one day..
Bump
i agree, can anyone figure out how to make it louder? perhaps through mixer path?
