My wife's d2g has a very low in call volume. The volume is turned all the way up, but it is still hard to hear. It is all stock and on the latest ota. Any help would be appreciated to get this to a higher volume.

I wouldn't call the call volume on D2G low. I wonder if it is her particular phone - have you tried another Droid2 Global to compare? Maybe it is time to get Verizon support involved to eventally have it exchanged?
I actually had the "big red" send me a second D2G recently. I was experiencing some very low end, bassy, frequencies out of the earpiece speaker. It made it very hard to hear with much clarity having no high end sound to compliment voices. I noticed that having the volume cranked made something in the phone rattle but having the volume down made it hard to understand conversations. The new handset seems to be better with no rattles. I would call tech support at 866-221-4096. They were very helpful.
I may have experienced the same problem and found mention of a very strange oddity in another online forum turn the phone off, remove the battery and put it back in. Turn the phone back on. Your problem may well be fixed!
I had this low volume problem happen while helping my sister and 10 year old nephew move 3 hours from home. I can tell you I was not happy to find my shiny new phone great for every thing but phone calls....
5 minutes online and a battery "swap" later and all was well.
It hasn't happened to me since.
Hi all.
Recently got myself my first smartphone, the Nexus S on Telus. (Well, had a Samsung Omnia before, but getting a WM6.1 phone in 2010 can hardly be considered smart )
Everything was going swimmingly. I have a penchant for changing up the software innards on the devices I own, so naturally I rooted my shiny new phone and had a good time trying out all these ROMS. This was approximately a month ago.
About a week ago my phone inexplicably began to act up. My in-call volume dropped to barely a whisper, and my touch-sensitive search button would for some reason go off on it's on.
After a bit of Googling, I found out that the search button issue is affecting many other Canadian users also, something about a bug in the new radio (AUCKD1).
But I've yet to find anything conclusive about the in-call volume. There are threads who are complaining of either low or high volumes, but no workable solutions.
So as a last resort I have restored my phone to fully stock 2.3.4. One to see if it was my messing around that caused it, and to also prepare for the possibility of having to return my shiny. It may just be my imagination/denial, but the call volume seems slightly better. Not good enough for me to hear outside, but inside, with no background noise it's just slightly quieter than normal.
Another thing that is very odd. Skype volume is much louder than voice calls. To be frank it's still not loud enough to be considered acceptable, but it is definitely louder. They use the same speakers right? Why would that be?
If at all possible I'd like to avoid having to take the phone back since Telus will no doubt charge me exuberant fees for having touched the phone for more than 3 seconds and moving more than 18 millimeters away from the store I bought it from.
Please advise, XDA!
U can try install kernel voodoo sound from supercurio and apps. U can see the different.
I had try most of the custom rom. There is one rom who give me loudest call volume, but I can't remember which ROM it is. U should explore more rather than bring it to the store.
Now I'm on liquidnexusbread, but not giving me a good volume in call.
I knew it sucks... but I love this rom performance.

Anyone else have issues with lower than normal/acceptable call volume while on the phone even when the phone is turned all the way up? I'm in my 14 day grace period with the device, I love it other than the fact I can't hear the other person worth a crap unless there is no other noise around me.
Mine is quiet too. But videos and songs play fine.
Try Settings -> Call -> Hearing aids

Yeah thats what I had to do just to make it tolerable. Still hard to hear the speaker phone while driving.
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.

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
Gotta love the EU - controlling A$$ holes

sorry for the late reply, yep, good old EU, it effects all audio devices in the UK and europe, even the high end ones, it's always a issue for me especially when i am choosing a new phone and being able to root and remove it.

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,

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.
For anyone who can't see the 3 dots (tested on S8+ and S10+)
1. Download the free app QuickShortcutMaker from the Play store
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
8. Job done. Bollocks to Brussels.
The issue I am having are with my family who constantly put their phones on the max volume and play extremely loud, obnoxious noise all day everyday without a care in the world. Because for whatever reason, during these times they forget, or choose to ignore, that headphones exist.
I have mentioned it before because it bugs the hell out of me because there's almost never a quiet moment but of course nobody cares and carries on. I'm sick of hearing screeching from the crap they're playing. There's an issue when you can be on the other side of the house, with earplugs, behind a door, and still hear it.
So my plan was to lower the max volume on their phones and act as though an update or bug lowered the loudness. I know there are apps that limit volume but the volume bar gives it away that their phone isn't on the maximum. So they'd ask me to fix the problem, thus ruining the point. So I am wondering if there is a way to limit it but have the bar still reach the end and act as if the phone reached max without them realizing? So I can pretend it's a hardware issue.
