Reduce in call volume

Hi
Does anyone know if there's a way to further reduce the in-call volume on the Desire S?
Even at it's lowest setting I often find the volume in a call to be a little too loud for me.
Anyone know of an app to do this or some way to tweak the phone?
My DS is unrooted on stock 2.3.5 (sadly).
Thanks in advance.
Ben

I doubt this would be possible unless you replaced your kernel, even then I doubt any have this feature! Let me know if you do find a way, however!

And I would like to know how to raise max in call volume ?

That doesn't sound right. (Honestly no pun intended there. ) I seem to remember my stock ROM would go down to inaudible levels.
What could be happening, which I have encountered before, is the phone's G-Sensor calibration is shot, so the phone thinks it's always face down, and hence answers all call in loud speaker mode. This would be very loud held to your head!
Try going into: Settings> Sound> and deactivate 'flip for speaker' or something similar to that. (Sorry I'm not running a Sense ROM right now so can't remember the exact phrasing.)
If this drops volume levels back to comfortable levels then re-calibrate your G-Sensor, or leave the 'flip for speaker' setting off.
If not, and you have super-human hearing, the only other options would be;
Rooting the phone and using a custom kernel with volume tweaks
Using earphones with an in-line volume slider.
Stuffing cheese in your ears.
Any 3rd party apps will simply tap into the existing volume controls so I doubt they'll be of any help. You could give Audio Manager a go though....

really? lol, mine is sometimes too soft on max volume n loud areas

Mine is definitely too quiet. I had a T-Mobile branded one but currently runing Endymion on it. I red somewhere on the forum that many T-Mobile branded devices has low max volume settings but I though that custom kernel will solve the problem.

APP for changing level/intensity of vibration on 4.2.1

I own a Galaxy Nexus and generally hate high level of vibration on mobile phones. I only use vibration level when I am at a meeting or in a lecture and pretty much even the lightest vibration can be felt. Right now it is so loud it even rattles a little bit. Since I cannot find it on 4.2.X as an option is there an app that can modify it or even a way with Google toolkit ?
Thank you in advance.

[Q] [P] Ringtone Volume

Hi,
I'm new to this forum but I must say it's a good way to learn everything on mod for android!
I'm a happy user of the new google phone Nexus 5 but I have one problem lots of user are experimenting and can't find a solution :
The ringtone volume is very low and I miss lots of calls.
I've installed fauxsound but it only increase music played in google play apps or youtube !
I've tried volume+ without success.

Afaik, no such mod or app yet exists. As a workaround, you could amplify the ringtone(s) you use with a program like Audacity. Helps a bit.

Best option for now is to root and install Viper4Android. It is perhaps the best audio driver replacement there is and will allow you to increase the speker volume by as much as 6dB.

Assuming you are rooted, unlocked, and the app/driver installed.
Settings, Sound, Music Effects - Viper4Android
in the Viper4Android control switch to Phone Speaker
Check Enabled
Settings, UI Settings - Moderate or Expert
Scroll all the way down and adjust the Output Gain
You can also play with the EQ to boost the most audible frequencies.
At least on my phone the call announce and ringtone are as loud as any phone I have ever owned.
In the very worst case it will give you nice control over how the music sounds.

Ambient Sensors - Detection for Ringtone/Notification Volume

I am looking for a solution to solve following problem. As I am only an Android User and haven't a clue of programming, maybe someone can help, at it's best to give a hint to an app.
Problem:
- In my office it is very quiet, but the notification and ringtone is to loud on value 4 (on a scale 0-7).
- On the street/restaurant/party the notification and ringtone is to quiet on value 4
- Having the Mobile in pocket it is always to quiet on value 4
- On some scenarios the ringtone is to loud, the notification to quiet ...
I think you know what I mean
I don't want to change the volumes everytime on different scenarios.
Come on, don't tell me there are apps on the market where you can create Sound Profiles like Nokia Style ... thousand years ago. It was a good feature ... but not automated. I also don't want something which detects different Zones (WIFI, Bluetooth Scenarios), or have Time Pofiles. All these apps are unable to detect ambient volume.
Since Lollipop or Marshmallow Google changed their strategy and combined ringtone and notification to one adjustable soup ... why????
The IntelliRing app was working quiet well, smooth in background, in the past and I miss it so much.
Detects ambient sound level by internal Microphone and increases or decreases the volume, detects by brightness by sensor, if Mobile is in a pocket or not and increases volume. It was perfect and easy to use. In some forums and around the world some people looking for exactly the same solution than me, so thanks god I am not the only Android user, who wants to make daily usage automatically more comfortable.
Is there someone out there, who might would work on an app to bring these features back to working? I think there will be thousands of people who would install and pay for it ... only 10k people and it could be some good money to earn, or? So, Developers, what are you waiting for?
IntelliRing ([email protected])
Intelligent Ringer ([email protected])
Perfect Ringtone Volume ([email protected])
RingDimmer ([email protected])
are some examples for antique apps and I am sure they were doing their job in the past, but on Nougat it is a **** ...
It is an idea and maybe some developers are interesting and worth a try working on it ... I would defintely do, but w/o any experience in programming, it is a no go
Cheers

Gradual increase of volume for ringtone

Hi folks !
I am a new OnePlus Nord user.
I like it but I am missing some useful features , for me really necessary.
I can't find a way to set gradual increase of volume for ringtone and for my morning wake-up.
When using standard ringtones the volume is too high when I am in office but too low when I am at work in noisy environments.
With previous Android smartphones I was used to set a starting low volume followed by a smooth increasing volume rate.
It there a way to set gradual ringtone ? I am rooted with Magisk on latest Oxygen OS 11.AC01BA (EU).
An other question: can I enable a stereo sound effect using earpiece ?
Thanks for your kind reply.

Hi,
1) unfortunately there seems to be no option for this
2) when I pair my BT ear pieces, they produce stereo sound, at least I perceive this to be the case. Can you be more specific on this one?
Cheers
