My wife just got a blaze coming from a MT4G. Her ringer volume is extremely low and we've turned the setting up all the way. Is this a known issue or has anyone had similar issues? If so what was done to fix it?

Haven't really had a issue with sound volume. You may want to give Volume+ a go. Great app and I have had it installed on every phone I ever owned even when I didn't need it.

Allow me to put on my cynical, bitter, jerk hat.
You're getting old man. You can use a different ringtone file that you might have better success with. Have one you like, but it's not loud enough still?
Throw the file in audacity or some other sound editing application (for your desktop) and raise the DB gain a few points.
Presto, now you can really annoy people with the ringtone. (If you raise the DB too much, the sound will distort of course)
It seems you have a cynical edge to every post...I've been lurking around the Blaze forum for tips and all I have seen is you interjecting your opinion as gospel wherever you go.
Volume + does not work, along with several other apps...I have tried to no avail.
altering db levels has minimal effect with this phone. I imagine the audio processor clips at a certain level so regardless of the limit on the file, the internal amplifier will not allow beyond a certain level so you are pushing an overdriven input to a clipped output. I have yet to measure this, but can tell you that by adding +6db gain to an audio file, which essentially doubles the output power twice over it's existing level, the overall difference in output through the speaker is negligible where it should have been noticeable.
I imagine the changes must first take place in the phone software, which up until this point has not happened most likely due to the fact that no developers have these lesser phones.
A small lesson in decorum...advise as though you think you MAY be correct, not as though you are sure you are. Your advice MAY be far more welcomed.

I got a Blaze last week. I quickly noticed that the ringer and speakerphone volume are quite low, compared to other phones I have (Samsung Exhibit 2, Motorola Defy and Nokia C-7). I was hoping to find that my sample is defective, but after reading this thread I understand that they are all like that. I like this phone a lot, but for me it fails in the most basic functionality.
My power and volume buttons feel pretty rickety, but given the product return horror stories documented here, I did not want to play roulette for what I would consider a minor concern. Outside of buying a dock, which I don't really want, I could not find a reliable "one size fits all" app solution to provide similar functionality, but with the combined efforts of these three free apps, I have captured the full functionality of the hard buttons, with little or no battery cost. If you have a better app selection, please suggest it below. I have no ties to the developers of the apps listed below, and none of these apps require root or an unlocked bootloader.
Turn off the Lights - I wanted to be able to shut off the screen quickly, and without a fuss. Most of the automatic solutions rely on the light sensor, but I could not find one with that worked well in low light. Since I use my tablet to read in bed, I had to forego the use of the light sensor, and rely simply on a soft button. It works, 'nuff said.
Volume Control Widget - This is a basic app that allows you to create volume slider widgets to control notification, alarm, and media volumes. I really only need control over media volume on a regular basis, so a basic slider widget fit the bill nicely.
Awesome On Off - Of all the solutions, I would consider this the weak link in this list. I like the app, but it relies on the gyro to give the order to turn the screen on. As you can imagine, carrying the tablet can lead to false "ons". For this reason, I set the set the "turn on angle" to require a pretty good movement from horizontal to turn on, and I did not have the app bypass the lock screen, which I have set to turn off very quickly if no unlock slide is made. In this way, the batter drain from false "ons" is somewhat mitigated.

Pretty neat app. alot more configurable if u buy for a dollar. But for the basic controls its free. Thought u might want to explore this option on the on/off switching. cheers

I exchanged my Prime for the TF700 in BB last month , I started feeling my power switch extremely rickety . Took it to BB but denied Exchange or return saying that nothing is wrong , Power switch is exactly like that even in the brand new TF700. Eventhough i was within my 60 days return window ( Silver Pre member) they denied me the return .
Coming back to the topic , I am using Screen Off to switch off the screen and Awesome On off to switch back on . Only problem is Awesome On/Off keep preventing the tablet from going into deep sleep. Need to play around with settings ...
First off, screw Best Buy, and second, it is interesting that a rickety volume switch is not cause for return. That's a real bummer for the money that we all have paid. Generally speaking, I am very happy with the hardware, but when I hit buttons/volume on my wife's ipad 3, they have a more secure feel, like they will still work after 10,000 presses. I don't get that same fuzzy feeling with our tablet, but I guess that's life. How are you monitoring your CPU use...CPU Spy or something else?
for volume control when you're using the tablet i recommend this app, it works awesomely and has options to configure.

If they wouldn't allow you to return it for the power button, I would have just said 'Ok, then I'm just not happy with the product, and want to return it'. Then, just buy another one... Last time I checked, you really don't need a "reason" to return something - you can return it simply because you don't like it, for example...
I found it pretty strange when returning a tablet to Best Buy once for a hardware defect - they seem to go out of their way to actually make sure the device turns on before accepting the return - why do they do that?? What would they do if it wouldn't turn on?? If it's defective, it's defective - who cares if it actually turns on or not? If it *doesn't* turn on, then that's even more of a reason to return it! Am I missing something here?!?

Yes I am using CPU spy to monitor . In BB their argument was , even if i exchange for a new TF700 the volume buttons are going to be same .. strange . I did not want to argue too much sine the manager lady was too rude . I just took my tablet and came out.

That's BS - I would definitely go to a different Best Buy from now on! If still in your return period, just go to a different location - that lady was feeding you BS... You should have no problem returning it as long as you are within the return period and have a receipt.

Yeah, Definately dont settle for mediocre for a brand new tablet... itll haunt you for as long as you own your tablet.. Apparently, you are dissatisfied with the product and they have no excuse to refuse the return as long as you are in your window of return. I would have called the manager and complained they are refusing for something that is written on their site as an acceptable excuse of return. When I had my infinity the volume rocker was wierd too, the down button would click once and the up had no clicking but was hard to control the amount of volume and when I pushed it the volume would go all the was to max. I would go to your premier site and print out the 60 day return policy, march back to that bestbuy and show it to their face the policy if they deny you right to return.

There is no proximity sensor in the Tf700 .
You might also find Power Switch interesting for the path you're following with your Infinity.

If you were able to install Wave Control then your device is telling the Play Store you do have a proximity sensor otherwise it wouldn't show up since it's a hardware requirement. (Or your'e on a custom ROM that doesn't report its features properly)
Someone on a different Transformer model, forget which one there are so many now, had the app work for a while but then it stop working. Turns out there is a sensor (on that model and probably this one too) but had been disabled by Asus in a software update.
Seems like they included it but then didn't want to use it and so disabled it. Maybe it was for a smart cover feature but went with the magnetic sensor instead.
The problem with any of those solutions is that a widget can't be used to change the volume in game or movie. I need the ability to do that and the only way would be to pull it to the system tray like the stock brightness control is.

Take a look at a app I recently found called "1Tap Quick Bar" - you can put all sort of stuff (including sound control) directly in your system bar - it is a really nice and useful app.

Just what i was looking for. When power cord is plugged in, volume switches are on bottem and in a case are hard to get to. Everything I've tried before shut what ever was playing down and video needed restart. I just tried this with hulu and video kept playing.

For those looking to crank a bit more volume out of the stock setup, here is an easy way, that requires no additional apps or rooting (some apps claim to work without root, but other than Volume + they are a mixed bag, with varying degrees of performance. Some plain just don't work.
Start Google Play Music App. Begin playing something you know well. Choose the menu from the top right (3 stacked blocks), and select Equalizer. Either drop the selection down to "custom" or just start raising the bands. Raise them most or all the way to the top. A "bigger" sound can be achieved with a classic "V shape (boosting the low and high frequencies, and leaving the center, 1000hz at or below midway)
Oh, then hit the "On" switch in top left corner. You will be AMAZED at the difference in sound, if you toggle it off and on a bit while playing music.
This is technically not the loudest, that can be achieved by pegging all bands to the top, but the mid-frequencies tend to sound "tinny" or "Like a small or cheap speaker" to most folks ears. By reducing it, and boosting the bottom and top frequencies you get a nicely boosted sound, though somewhat colored (an audiophile is not likely to be wowed by this type of spectrum boost, but, depending on the source material most folks like this, as it's comparable to what a "loudness" button does, and with the Infinities VERY small speakers. Yes there are 2 in there, and they are stereo, though how Asus expected to get ANY separation or any type of "sound stage" through a 1.5" x .5 " grill remains a mystery, even if they did apply some delay, echo or reverb, which I do not believe they did.
Some swear by Volume+ and I had good experiences with it on my Prime, but when something in my setup caused both Volume+. Musicfx (the built in Equalizer I just described tuning) and settings to crash every time I used it, I decided to see what I could do without it. I am quite happy wiith the boost that musicfx provides

That's right buddy!
Any solution?
Doesn't work globally (for me at least)
There's only one problem, from what I can see this only boosts sound via the app itself or perhaps music. I fired up a game to test this and the levels were the same as before.
The global solutions is to use the app: equilizer and do the same thing (I raise all sliders to the top). I used this on my HTC until I found a way to get volume+ to work on that.
Volume+ however, isn't compatible with JB but in any case there is a limit to how much you SHOULD risk bumping up your volume. I already get a little distortion using equilizer on the louder audio files I have, the limitation is going to be the speakers installed which can be damaged.
Unfortunately as with so many Android devices sound quality isn't a priority with manufacturers which amazes me particularly on both the HTC (targeted to audio users with a phone barely adequate in stand alone volume level / quality) and the TF700 which is a flagship tablet with price to match.

Trying to respond to this using the Infinity and Dolphin browser is almost impossible. No hitting spacebar twice to end a sentence. Messes everything up big time!! It has a real hard time dealing with the code i guess. Might be a good time to try another browser.
Looking at potentially buying this phone in the future but I'm curious to see if it can be done or has anyone been able to successfully remove it yet?
Anticipating the answer :S
If that's you only worry about Europe and its laws you are one lucky person.
Ryland
Best way to remove it is to turn your volume up, and when it asks you the question, press ok.
Then if you don't reboot the phone it won't ask you again.
I have to admit though, the poor volume of the S8 as well as most Android phones barring HTC, makes the cap irrelevant because if anyone hurts their ears listening to music through an S8+ they had broken ears already haha.
Wait, EU is responsible for that feature? Those f.....s
no....as long as it's a law

lol no that is not how you remove it, if it was that easy i would be able to do that on any device, no matter if the volume is turned up or not the volume cap will still reduce the volume no matter what, the only way to remove it permanently is via root, i still have my note 4 with root and the volume cap removed + custom rom with better audio i don't think i could ever part with it tbh, the S8 and S8+ are new so i guess it's the waiting game for now.

the nanny state and all, i can't stand the EU, what gives them the right to think for us really, what next? a timer on all tvs to turn off at a certain day so we are ready for bed? it's really is stupid.
furthermore with the recent news about the note 8 maybe it's best to wait for that phone instead, i'm more than patient to wait anyway, no rush, hopefully that will get rooted and the volume cap removed maybe.
but if either phone doesn't get root & EU volume cap removed i could always go back to legacy devices like my ipod classic (yes i stil have one of those ) the sound on them are still good till this day, only limitation is the space on them but i'll manage i guess.
till now i'll use my note 4 till it dies, it's 3 years old and still going strong for now.
With a bit of luck by March 2019 we'll have left the eu behind & all ludicrous laws. Cannot come soon enough.
Just be thankful that its not like some devices where it will nag you EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. when you turn the volume back up. At least this phone will only bug you once and then leave you alone until a certain amount of time passes or you restart. My Samsung Tab Pro S for example... *shudder*
this is why i would feel cheated buying a £800 phone and putting up with this

i's ridiculous really and the volume is worse with bluetooth too, if i can't remove it i don't want it :angry:
No.
It's here to stay.
Even when the UK leaves the EU I doubt Samsung will not have the cap on UK handsets.
On the other hand:
European Phones are easy rootable (the samsung galaxy ones)
US Phones are always more difficult to root and so on (because of the different chips - exynos / snapdragon)
All the best,
lienot
Samsung phones have always been plenty loud enough for me.
You know loud noise damages hearing, right? So the more you listen to loud music, the more you need to turn up the volume.
Better not to get started on the vicious circle in the first place.

2. Run it and type "volume" in the search box
3. When "Settings" appears in the search results below, open the tree and tap on "Settings / Media Volume Limiter"
4. From the choices that appear, tap the "Try" option
5. You have now opened Media Volume Limiter, which is where the 3 dots would have taken you. You should see a switch to turn the limiter on or off and a volume bar set to about 2/3
6. Tap the switch to turn the limiter ON
7. Drag the volume limit to the far right

hey guys,
I'm getting low max vol. on my OP8t with my 1st gen airpods (it has always been like that) so I decided I want to get more and purchased Anker Liberty Pro 3 which are supposed to be great and have amazing sound. unfortunately the volume is still very low (on my standards) . i tried using boosting apps, they do a small change but not enough. how do i remove this stupid volume limit on my phone ?
Thanks very much
This was mine case, maybe it will help you, or other people

It was basically the mesh what was muting the sound and what protected the speaker from dust and other particles. So i rip it out, now the volume is clear and loud.
that works no root just dont go super high
