Hey,
Does anyone know a way to boost the earpiece volume on the Nexus S, mine seems to be a bit low. I have have DSP manager and Voodo on my phone, but I haven't found any settings in those apps for the earpiece.
Thanks in advance for any help or tips,
Andres

I was just getting ready to an identical post - I'm really surprised that this has not been a more common post thus far -- maybe I'm getting old and my hearing is suffering but given the other phones that I've had lately this is the worst one for earpiece volume in the last couple of years.
I asked super about this on twitter said its gonna be in ver8

Isn't this an identical thread ? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1041712
As I stated there too, it could be a phone-related issue. Go to the store and tell them to give you another one. If that one is louder, then it was an issue with the previous phone. If it has the same issue, then ask for another one. This issue is present on many other phones, including Sony Ericsson's. Check Google for this.
Het everyone,
I tried lowering the volume in the middle of a call and then increasing it and it seems to fix the issue. Try it and let me know if it works for you.

Hey lambda30,
Thanks for the link, but that thread discusses headset volume not earpiece volume. DSP manager already supports boosting headset volume.

Oh, I didn't notice the difference between the threads, sorry, my bad. In that case, in my story, I had a problem with the earpiece, not the headset. So, I had a problem like yours, in this thread.
And no, lowering the volume in the middle of a call didn't change anything. The refund for the phone did, lol.
Hi,
Just converted to android from iphone.
When listening to music via earphones, im noticing the volume isnt that loud even when ive turned it up to the max (15).
Ive seen other posts explaining how to get into service mode and amend some volume settings, but this only applies to in call volume. Im looking to increase the volume when listening to music.
The current volume is def too low.
Bump.. Need help!
Using sennheiser cx180, getting amazing sound quality
any fix for this yet? really annoying!
bump
that makes two of us now. please someone nut this out
Bump. Same problem
Same problem here.
And another one here with same problem.
When I increase "Media volume" it only increases volume until it gets to about 50% on the bar, after that nothing happens when I continue to raise it to a full bar.
Bump same problem here, up full its about 3/4 the volume of my iPhone, its fine in quiet environments but and ambient noise at all and you hear it over this. Its just one of the many frustrations of this phone when it comes to music. Seriously thinking about eBaying it,
Cyanogen and MIUI teams are looking into porting their ROMs to the Galaxy S 2. That should fix everything
Hey guys is there a fix for this yet?? I am running lite'ning Rom and even before this the volume from music through the headset is so so low!!! In ambiant places like the bus or walking through the city u can forget talking to anyone or listening to music!!!
Is there anything that can boost it??? On my old iphone when i jailbreaked it i got an app that mad it very loud that i could not put it On full lol... Pls guys if anything please reply!!!! :-(
Anyone with any solotion to this please??? its the only real fault with the phone

Had the same problem...
Hey, I had the same problem with my unlocked Galaxy S II, The volume would not go up even at 15, same level of sound on all numbers. All I did was reboot it and now it works fine. you should try it too
seriously this is the phone that is apparently the 'best of 2011', yet it has such a huge glaring bug like this? To shock new buyers who were told this phone was great?
This is a dealbreaker. Volume on a phone matters. Why hasn't a solution been offered, or rather why is this such a concealed ill-discussed problem?
I don't think it's quite a bug or Samsung's fault. I've been using original Ipod earbuds from the Apple Store and they work like a charm. But when I try to use some sony headset, the sound is all noisy and it's quality sucks. I think that there may be a problem like drivers or something on how the signial is sent to the terminal.

BUMP!!
Same problem here, what is going on here??
I shouldn't have to root and mod my phone to be able to hear a call on the street or to listen to music. Which isn't a solution anyway.
WTF??
had anybody contacted samsung support?
Still nobody knows what is wrong?
My other media players, computers, hifis all play at ok volumes, so the problem is with the phone..
Any input appreciated

Can try this by SuperCurio. VoodooLOUDER is for SGSIIs but it is paid* and also Root.
*From Market Description
Only after its fully confirmed by a wizard that the application will work on your device, you're allowed to purchase it.
Simple answer: it's a commercial app accessible via a free compatibility detection.

Think right now that is about all that you will get w/o hardware hacks or something directly from Samsung.
I use Voodoo Control App on my GS1 with a Voodoo kernel and it works like a charm.
Voodoo + PowerAmp + Bose in-ears = Pure Sonic Enjoyment.
There are from what i know a few fixes for this (i think)
If you are running Cyanogenmod7.1 you have the DSP Equalizer that helps to boost the volume of your device.
Ive heard of a App on the market Called Volume plus (never used it but from searching on the internet ive heard of this)
And then if you are using Power Amp you can have full control of adjusting volume through the settings in the music player
I have a little problem with this rom and this app. When I set sound source - headset, headset didn't plays, speaker plays. Is this app works someone fine?
Sorry for my english, just learning.

what rom and which app ? can u state properly ?
He stated it is kisadworx in the title itself
Well is the earphones icon visible in the status bar?
If no then try another headset.
If other headset works then you need to replace earphones
Also the earphone jack could have loose connection with motherboard which needs soldering

I changed method to I9003, selected my region, and the same sympthoms.
I can normally listen to music with these same earphones, so I think they are ok.
It's an common problem i think, since i have the same issue. It probably is, because of the kernel not recognizing the headphones corectly, so spirit thinks it only has a speaker.
Thanks for answer ;]
Do u think that another kernel help me to resolve my problem?

Forget what i said. The same occurs on cm7 when you use i9003 as audio mode.
All right, then the case is closed for now.

Hi,
I am on stock Indian ROM, I wanted to share the work around I had found for the earpiece hearing issue seen on my phone on using wired handsfree/earphones...
The issue I was facing was that sometimes when I unplug my hands free, I could not hear anything on the earpiece on the phone, like if I receive a Cal I couldn't hear the person talking on the other side.... I usually had too restart my phone to start hearing on the phone's earpiece...
Workaround:
when wired hands free is plugged into the stereo jack, start music player, Fm, or video player or anything that will play some sound in your earphones, now unplug the earphones or hands free.... So remember, whenever you want to unplug the earphone just play some music and unplug!!! This tricks always works for me
Not sure of this is a hardware or a software bug....
Please thank me if this has helped you.....

This is the problem with Stock Indian ROM only, so if you want to get rid of this you need to flash ZSLE5 Or ZSLE6 or XWLA4 ROM's or custom ROM's based on these ....

Help me to buy an original HTC MHL Cable and an original HTC One X+ 2100mha battery, i'll try to add full battery support for One S and video-out at [email protected], i read somewhere that FullHD support is crappy
Other things you can do:
Help me to understand what's the best kernel/rom combination, so i can try to fix incoming call quality (incall volume fading).
I must say that I'm a little surprised that the noise suppression is done in the phone apk, wasn't expecting that at all. I will definitely test this to see if my theory was correct. And if it really fixes the problem, you've definitely earned yourself a beer.
Is this for Maximus HD also ?

I think it's my bad, noise suppression is referred to our mic, not incoming call. So this mod can help to fix outgoing call problems, not incoming ones.
The good news is that i have an idea, i may know where are parameters to change incoming call settings too
@luxandroid, @rosswhite, @CazeW: can you tell me what rom/kernel (new or old rom) is/was working better for you (regarding in call quality)?

The quality is great, better than with 4.1.1, if the signal is good and thats almost everytime the case if not connectet to a data network.

That's from a different thread. Don't know if that causes the problem but I am a 100% sure that there was no data when calling on 4.1.1...maybe it logged into GSM network as stunner2002 said?!
EDIT: when googling found something about dual mode transfer setting (ro.ril.enable.dtm) in build.prop. Was that disabled in 4.1.1? Does that have anything to do with it?

This ROM and this kernel is what I used before MaximusHD and had no problems with call quality.

May be it's just me but the fading only happens to me when I'm on the phone to a landline (and not all the time). Mobile phones seem to be ok.
Outgoing is definitely no issue so I'm not sure how noise supression has anything to do with it
For me the quality only gets bad when the other side speaks quiet. If the person speaks loud, quality is okay. When the opposite is speaking quiet, it seems some parts are cut off...

I don't know why i haven't experienced any in-call volume issues. May it be incoming or outgoing. In fact, in-call volume is more louder now on maximusHD than when i was on viper before. But in case in the future, if i experience those issues (hopefully not. ), i might try flashing this mod. Thank you anyway.
The problem happens with headphones too?
This is for me to understand if issue is earpiece related only
I'm still unable to reproduce the problem
I'll post soon a mod to improve earphone volume, it may help a little bit
Japp, headphones to. It wouldnt fix it if the volume is raised its a Software issue. I notice sometimes the data connection is disabled by default when i call someone. If its the case Sound quality is outstanding. But its not always the case it disables automatically

I've had data completely disabled and still get problem so I doubt it's caused by that. And I agree that raising the volume will most likely do nothing to fix it.
I could also mention that I've tried both a different kernel (ElementalX) and a different radio and still had the problem.
I really think i've found the bastard now it's kernel related
please test this kernel, it should fix incoming call quality issue:
