Keyboard sound volume? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

Hello,
I have Samsung Galaxy S7 which is on stock ROM v6.0.1.
Does anyone know how to adjust keyboard sound volume?
I really like the tones it makes when typing, but it's just too loud; I have already tried to reduce system/notifications/media volumes but it doesn't apply to the keyboard.
Please advice.
Thanks in advance.

I don't think there is anyway to do that but please for the love of god turn off the sound! It drives every single person around you nuts! Plus it helps drain your battery quicker by producing unneeded sounds every time you hit a key.

ringtone volume starts out too low

I thought I had seen this discussed but can't find it.
When my phone rings the volume starts out low then increaes, is there a way to disable this and have it start at full volume?
I think it is melody? I believe that is the type of ring it is.
Huh?
It doesn't matter what I set the ringtone to. All the ringtones do the same thing for me

I'd be interested in a fix for this also. I've done a little searching, but haven't been able to find anything other than it being related to a bug on other phones with a "quiet ring on pick-up" (or something like that) setting, which this phone doesn't seem to have...
Basically, the phone rings quietly for about a second at first then quickly jumps to a louder volume.
Yes I have this as well. It does not serve any useful function since you couldn't possibly answer before it gets loud.
I'm new to the android OS , so I'm going slow on tweaks but I had the same problem on a previous WinMo phone , the Samsung Omnia II and it drove me crazy. Eventually someone found out all you had to do was edit the registry and change a key from initial ring volume from 3 to 5 and it worked. I wouldn't be surprised if somewhere in the captivates db's there's a equivalent setting . Hope this helps and I'll post if I find the setting.
I hate this feature as well and want to disable it.
Anything new on this? It is driving me crazy!!
It seems to be a trend with Samsung phones...
I had an Eternity and it did this, which drove me crazy.
I also had a Sync, which is a flip-phone. It did not do this if the phone was closed but if the phone was in the open position before the call came in then this would happen.
I think it may be a Samsung "feature" in order to protect your hearing or something if you had the phone close to your head and a call came in. That's all that I can think of.. It's very annoying and I don't like it at all. It really makes me think this is probably intentional considering each Samsung I've had did the exact same thing. I haven't gotten a Captivate yet but I plan to, and it's very disappointing to see that it suffers from this as well.
Has there been any fix to this yet? ?

If you have never used the phone, why do you reply?
The volume will always start low no matter what ringtone you use. It is another stupid, unchangeable setting that Captivate has (much like the separate brightness setting for browser).
HTC has the opposite and more reasonable settting: volume starts loud and becomes low when you pick up the phone. You can disable it if you don't like.
I may be the only person who likes this behavior. If I forget to put it on vibrate mode during class, and it starts to go off, I can quickly hit the volume rocker (without taking it out of my pocket) before it disturbs the class.
would be cool to have a fix for this
Well, any fix yet? It pisses me off :[
I too find this super annoying....anyone have any success in changing it so it starts off at full volume?
I see the Perception 10 has:
Modified Phone.apk (no ascending ring)
I haven't tried P10, can anyone confirm there is not ascending ring?
just bumping this up!
I have perception 10 and mine seems to still have ascending ring. Maybe there's a setting I missed but I don't think so.

It is indeed beyond annoying.
I got a LG P500 a few days ago and this ringing thing is pissing me the hell off.. any fix yet?

[Q] Call volume really low

Is there an app or other software to boost the volume? All my volume settings are maxed and i cant really hear the caller. Sometimes, though, it comes in just fine, but most of the time it doesnt.
Thanks

I had this problem with another phone and after an extensive search, I ultimately gave up on it. I will share what I tried and maybe save you a little trouble.
First and simplest, try gently cleaning out the earpiece with a little toothpick, a pin, or better yet blow it out with some air. This seems to work for some people, as overtime gunk can build up inside the screen.
Next, there are a lot of apps that claim to work as volume boosters. Most of them are for speaker volume and not for in-call volume. After sifting through many of them I found one or two that claimed to help in call volume but they really did not work. If you go this route then "happy hunting".
Some ROMs have a hearing aid setting under the Accessibility options but I couldn't tell you which. The ROM I'm using has ways to change the volume steps for all volume settings and that might help (I'm using Liquid Smooth found here in the DEV section).
There is an Xposed module that enables you to adjust some volume steps.
Viper for Android gives you a lot of control over the sound of the device (it has Xloud) and it works well with the Apollo Music Player found on many ROMs but I can't say for sure it helps in-call volume. It sure makes music sound good though.
Last and hardest, if you are rooted and have a file managing app, you can go into the system files and edit them. This would probably require the assistance of a dev who could tell you exactly where these file are located and what the correct settings should be. Of course, there is always a chance of damaging your phone this way.
That's all I know. Hopefully, one of these options will work for you, or someone wiser will jumped in with a better solution. Good luck!
You need to tell everyone what software you are using and how long you have been having a problem.

[Q] help please-s.voice quiet!!

Ok, so you may or may not love S-voice, but i use it!
For some reason, the S.voice feedback is really quiet.
It was fine, then for some strange reason(intact, it was speaking to me, then the exercise feedback spoke over it) and ever since then its been quiet.
multiple resets, all sound and volume alterations/configurations have been tried...nothing!!
All other output is perfect, just this thats quiet
I have even connected to my iPhone and Siri blasts out the speaker nice and loud, so I'm really confused.
Cant see an option to recover in Kies, so does anyone have any suggestions??
many thanks guys

Update
Proper sound came back of its own accord.... But then the same thing happened again... It simply went quiet!
Does anyone have any ideas for a reinstall of the ROM?
When connecting to kies,I can't get an option to do a proper factory reinstall??
Loving this watch and it's many features so assistance would be greatly received
back again
Full volumes back again
I was on a call on my watch and put the volume for the call up to Max volume.... And her pesto, s voice on the watch went back to full volume again!!
Coincidence?, I'm not sure but I'm not unhappy that it's back!

[Q] Clicking sound while typing on keyboard (short vibration)

I received my Nexus 5 as a Christmas present, after a few days I started noticing a clicking noise while typing or using the navigation bar. At first it wasn't that often, maybe once every three or four keypresses, but now it's almost everytime! I find this very annoying (I use the keyboard a lot), is this normal, am I just being picky? Any responses would be great, I'm thinking of sending back.
Thankyou

There is both haptic feedback and keypress sounds enabled on the keyboard by default. You can turn both off in settings.

Really really sorry, I don't think I was specific enough, it's not meant to be there I don't think! I have haptic feedback on, the problem is not software based. As there is a short vibration anywhere on the phone, it is accompanied by a small click coming from inside the phone. As days have passed these clicks have become more frequent and have become louder. It is a sound as in a sound coming from the phone speakers, it is almost mechanical!
Thank you

Probably the OIS in the camera in that case. It will rattle if you shake the phone (dont shake your phone) and hitting the screen could cause it to make a smaller one. But without hearing it, we can only guess really.

Volume controls - what the...HELP!

Haven't used a Nexus in a long while so not sure if this is a stock Android thing, but it would seem daft if it isn't - my problem is this:
I want to sit in bed at night with my headphones plugged in, listening to podcasts. I *don't* want the phone to vibrate every time someone tweets me or texts me in the meanwhile. There isn't a mute feature evident within the volume settings and if I turn on Do Not Disturb I get no notifications but my sound output also completely disappears. My requirement doesn't seem too niche to me!
This seems utterly ridiculous, and someone - either Sony or Google - seems to have made volume control overly complicated for no good reason.
Can anyone help? I hope I'm just missing something, and all is forgiven if so
