[Q] Increase headset mic Volume [SOLVED] - Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can someoune suggest me a method to increase headphone mic volume?
I've a problem with headset volume, I can hear other people but people have problems to hear me. I think that volume mic is very low. I tested also other headphones but with the same results. Without headphones this problem is not present.
In other phone threads I found an intresting method: ie with galaxy s2 you have to enter in a secret menu and change default mic value. There is a similar method also with Optimus One?
I've a rooted phone with stock rom and kernel.
Thankyou

Hi, I found a partial solution starting from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1645682
Now for Optimus one, to increase headset mic sensibility I followed these points:
1) Hidden menu, on phone app dial: 3845#*500#
Now in this secret menu make attention because " with great power, comes great responsability"
2) Device test --> Sound test --> Audio call tool --> MicAmp calibration --> Subsystem calibration
3) I select:
Vocoder ON_Chip_0
Gain type = left Mic
(default data is 35)
--> Set Data 28 --> OK
4) Device test --> Sound test --> Audio call tool --> MicAmp calibration --> Subsystem calibration
Vocoder Stereo Headset
Gain type = left Mic
(default data is 35)
--> Set Data 28 --> OK
This will increase mic sensibility and now people can better hear me. I Personally tested this, and voice will became a little bit metallic but stonger and clear.
In the original guide there is also this point:
Write all to EFS --> OK
This command is present also in optimus one secret menu but it fail to permanently write these changes to memory.
This mean that on every reboot these changes will be lost and you need to set again these two parameters; I hope that someone with more experience can help me with this.

problem volume during call

Sorry for my bad english.
There is a way to increase the volume of the microphone?
My interlocutors feel me with very low volume.
Try using Microphone AGC ("Automatic Gain Control" if I'm correct). Found in Start -> Settings -> System tab -> Microphone AGC, then switch it to Enabled.
It's the first thing I could come up with.
Good Luck!
Unfortunately nothing doesn't change.

How to continue to hear GPS instruction during conversation

Hi,
I'm looking for a small app or a registry hack that avoid the smartphone to switch off the speaker when a conversation is engaged.
I'm using an HTC touch 3G (Jade) with a bluetooth headset JABRA BT8040 (configured to get the free-hand and NOT the A2DP).
So, In a normal situation, the GPS instructions are sent to the speaker and the conversation to the Jabra headset. But when I answer a call the speaker switches off automatically and I can't hear the GPS instructions anymore untill the end of the call. Does anyone knows how to activate both sounds together?
By looking on the xda-developpers forum, I've seen that using some HTC splitter had this effect but it is not clear why.
Thanks for your help
I've tried the following hack but nothing is working:
1. Change the HKCY/ControlPanel/Volume EnableAdjustHSVoulme = 0 (instead of 1) : it seems it has no effect
2. Change the HKCY/ControlPanel/Volume Mute = 0 (instead of 3) : "no effect" In fact some application does not produce sound anymore.
3. Change the HKCY/ControlPanel/Volume Mute = 0xffff (instead of 3) : no effect at all.
Is there anybody that has an idea about the function of these keys? google does not give any info :-(
Thanks a lot

Low Ringtone Volume in GS+

Hi All,
Just bought Samsung GS+ and the ringtone volume is very low (in spite of setting the ringtone volume to max) and I often miss calls. I tried Volume+ from the market but that doesn't seem to increase the call ringtone volume. I think the application works on rooted devices only. Also, found an interesting article on the web. See below. But when I enter the code *#*#197328640#*#* nothing happens. My mobile is running on 2.3.5. Not sure why the code doesn't work
Code:
A) Enter service mode by typing below code on your dialer :
*#*#197328640#*#*
click the following:
[5] AUDIO
[1] NB (VOICE CALL)
Choose Handset, headset, Speaker (which ever you want higher volume)
[1] VOLUME
[1] SRC Speech RX Volume
Change default values and higher the values any number of your choosing, here is an example:
[0]0_lvl : 68
[1]1_lvl : 72
[2]2_lvl : 76
[3]3_lvl : 80
[4]4_lvl : 84
[5]5_lvl : 88 Higher these values to until hear volume improvement.
Is there any hack or tweak so that I can increase the ringtone volume? Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks a ton!
i have the same question, i need the right service menu code, the one from the i9000 doesnt work.

How to boost microphone in LG Optimus Net P690

Audibility has been a persisting problem in LG Optimus Net P690. During a call, the person on the other end hears a very low voice, and keeps telling 'Speak Louder', which is annoying.
Here is a temporary solution to the problem. I hope that the developers will come up with a better solution.
1) Access the hidden menu [dial 3845#*690#]
2) Settings > Audio > MicAmp Calibration
3) Subsystem Calibration:
Vocoder = [06] ON_Chip_0
Gain Type = Left Mic
Set Data = 28
Touch 'OK' [Get Data will automatically become 28]
4) Press 'Back' button
5) Audio > Write ALL to EFS > OK
6) MicAmp Calibration > Subsystem Calibration:
Vocoder = [02] Stereo Headset
Gain Type = Left Mic
Set Data = 28
Touch 'OK' [Get Data will automatically become 28]
7) Press 'Back' button
8) Audio > Write ALL to EFS > OK
That's it. Audibility becomes much better.
However, on reboot, the changes are erased. Any help on that?

Thanks for tip, works perfectly on any LGP690 Orange branded Romania, os 2.3.4 and it saves ok to EFS so it's kind of a permanent solution. The save part may depend on firmware/brand. For example my LGP500 open EU 2.3.3g does not save to efs, gives error saving.
Hi everyone, i'm Dragos from Romania, a few moments ago i have tried you're method, and, it's working, i put 22 , not 28, i've tried many options, 22 is minimum, but...when i talk, and i put my headphones(simple stereo headphones, no mic), the microphone gain drops about a half. Can you please tell me how to set the values , so the gain to be the same like without headphones.
And another think: i want to increase the boost volume for the headphones, for music, can you tell me where i should enter , and what to modify? The're are a lot of menus and submenus for headphones...
Thank's and have a nice day

External speaker phone volume discrepancies

External speaker volume:
Music = good
Videos = good
Online media play = good
Games = good
Ringtones/ SMS = good
Touch-screen tap sound = good
Phone calls = shockingly bad
(Also, the in-call volume, i.e. with external speaker turned off, isn't very great either)
I am not sure why this problem is occuring.
I'm certain it was not there/ or this apparent during Nougat (Viper ROM). Currently I'm on Oreo (LeeDroid) and have been told it is not a ROM-related issue.
I have tried the following attempted solutions but to no avail:
- Viper4Android (definitely enhances volume generally except for external speaker during phone calls; I have tried various settings)
- Modifying the mixer_paths speaker parameters
- Oreo Volume boost USonic headphone & speakers by Golv
- Turning up the volume manually during phone calls (during both external speaker on & off)
Any one else noticed this issue?
Any help/ pointers in the right direction please.........
The volume will be limited to prevent feedback into the microphones. It is not advised to mess with the volume on a htc as you might bugger it altogether. The phone is at its loudest from factory as it is hardware limited. Any increases over a stock rom is a placebo.

My external speaker volume issue (during phone calls) has resolved since updating to LeeDroids latest ROM (I couldn't see any difference between the various mixer_paths files of my previous & current ROM versions, so not sure what caused the problem).
In terms of volume loudness (external speaker), I can definitely appreciate a clear difference (i.e. a louder volume) using Viper4Android.
