Having a volume issue here - Vibrant General

For some reason even though I turned up all the way the ringer, media, and system volume it seems to be super low. Please help.

Which volume? If it's the earpiece volume on phone calls, go to Settings -> Call Settings and enable HAC mode. Then turn the volume down before it ruptures your eardrums.

I had the same thing happen one time...a reboot of the phone solved the problem for me.

As lame as it might seem, enabling HAC mode was one of the best suggestions I've ever found. Ever.

I had a similar issue, but for me it was the east piece volume. Out of nowhere the volume seemed to be locked at a barely audible level.
I ended up having to do a warranty exchange. Sucked because that was the only phone I had and I could only use speaker phone to take calls

Anyone noticed this?

I still have the problem of when i make or receive a call the volume is so so loud even at the min setting.
But today when i was on the phone with my ear drums nearly bleeding....i had another call beeping through (call waiting) and noticed that straight away the volume of the call that i was on decreased to a sensibly level!!
Once i finished the call, i thought it may have been a one off so i dialled another number and then got someone to phone me while i was on the call and yet again the volume somehow dropped to a sensibly level.
Any ideas guys?
If only i could always have the volume like this, this handset would be perfect.
This also happens if your on the phone and get an SMS, HTC have admitted the volume problem is a "known issue" but there is so far no results of them having fixed it.

Incall volume has always been a problem on this device and I think there is another thread related to this issue. It has been noticed that when you are on a call, the volume, evn though on the lowest level is usually way too loud and uncomfortable for the ears.
This might help you as it works for me: while on a call, I increase the volume to max and turn it back down to lowest level. you will straightaway notice that the volume has reduced cosiderably. This has been my "short term" solution until the issue is resolved. Hope that helps.

Low in call volume

This morning when I revieved a call I could barely here the person talking to me. It was like the in call volume was turned to the lowest setting.
I am just past the 14 day return period so I have to do a warranty exchange. Has anyone else had or heard of such problem?

if you haven't already seen and done this, try this:
I had this same problem. One easy solution I found was turning the HAC mode on (found under Settings > Call Settings). This increases the call volume a good bit. But it doesn't change the bluetooth or wired headset volume.
Unless Im missing the point, just use your volume rockers and adjust the volume up. Its pretty loud when you crank it up.
this may not even be your problem.
For most of my calls the volume rocker gave plenty of headroom. I just had to turn the HAC mode on to boost the volume for my one friend that's a "low talker". Same person but on my G1 the volume was fine.
turning on hac mode helps thanks

Im not going to speak for OP but i know that for me whenever i answer a call its at 3/4 volume even whenever i turn it up the next call i pick up will still be at 3/4 volume. seems to be a "feature" so you dont get blasted by someone on the other end however at the same time its annoying when i talk with my wife all the time and shes soft spoken.
It's not the rocker, I have it turned all the way up though I noticed that changing the volume makes no difference, the sound is still extremely low. My problem is most likely a hardware issue.
I called in for a warranty exchange and I should be getting a new phone any day now

This works great! Thank you. I called Samsung and they said there was no way to increase the handset volume. Well pretty sad users know more about the phone workings than the damn company!

Thats because companies do not train their customer service reps on the devices. Then they transfer you over to "technical support", who are the same people just going through basic troubleshoot software provided by the REAL techincal folks at samsung. Calling them always insults my intelligence, because ill try to speed the call up by saying "ive already tried all of the basic troubleshooting methods", yet they will continuously ask me things like "did you try a reboot?", "did you pull the battery?".
Bottom line, these companies cannot afford to pay thousands of Sombionixes and Cyanogens to handle tech support hahaha

[Q] X10 Volume change beep

Does anyone know a way of muting the beep heard when pressing the volume change buttons on the phone? I'm talking about the beep heard when changing the ringer volume. I don't need to know how loud it will be if I can see the illustration on the screen telling me how loud it is.
I haven't found an app that can successfully mute only that sound.
Dunno, don't know any tweak to remove the beep but 3rd party apps such as widgetsoid etc can toggle the sound level without the beep.

Thanks but that program didn't solve the issue. My issue with the beep is the fact that I sometimes accidentally press the buttons when holding the phone and the beeps are rather loud and annoying after a while. The app you suggested did help me change other things around so it wasn't a total loss.
My search continues...
I used an app called Volume Ace from the Market and it controls every volume available in the phone. You can also make profiles on it...

[Q] Nexus 4 in-call volume problem

I am having problems with the in-call volume of my Nexus 4. Say I have it at 4/5, it will remain at this for a while, however, it does not maintain this setting. When I answer a subsequent phone call, the in-call volume will have reset itself to 2/5. It is quite annoying answering a phone call, not hearing the person on the other side and then having to increase the volume again. I actually returned my 1st Nexus 4, however, this problem is now occurring on my replacement phone as well. Would anyone have any suggestions as to what might be causing this problem before I contact Google again. I have not made any adjustments to the OS of the Nexus 4. Thanks for any help!

I have Volume + installed from Google Play and it increases the volume considerably from the speaker, through bluetooth and headsets. If you try it go to settings/sounds/sound effects and choose Volume + instead of Music Fx. I`am using the paid version and it works great for me.

Thanks for your reply. Actual loudness of the phone is not a problem, when the highest in-call volume setting is maintained. However, the phone will randomly reset itself to the 2/5 setting. Over the weekend, I give the Volume + app a try. It has an individual setting for in-call volume, however, the problem still occurs. Do you think the problem is software related and therefore potentially could be rectified by the next major update to be released? I'am worried that I may have to try and return another phone to Google!

Did you ever find the solution? I just got a Nexus 4 and have the same issue. I've been searching like crazy for a solution!

I forgot to say that even though is the same issue, in my case is the other way around. The volume resets to 5/5 even though I change it to 2/5 during a call. The 2/5 setting seems to last only some time but surely after a few hours, when I make or receive another phone call the volume has gone up to 5/5.
I have the same issue. The volume is always to the max. During the call I lower it, because it is too loud at the maximum, but during the next call, the volume is at maximum again. I tried several applications that adjust in-call volume, but it had no effect.

I believe we might have an application installed that's resetting the volume, would you mind sharing the applications you have via private message and then we can check which we have in common and go from there? If you agree I'll send you mine as well.
After several factory resets I finally found out what was the problem. Automatic Call Recorder has an option named Maximize recording volume (or something like that). When I turned off this, the problem was solved.

Phone volume drops (no Sound) bug?

I have looked with no luck for this issue that I am having. ("adapt sound" setting is not helping volume still drops.)
When I am in my car and trying to have a phone conversation in my car hands free with bluetooth, the other person on the phone can't hear me at times.
When I am trying to host a phone conference call with 2 other people, they say that they can hear me but I can't hear anyone. The volume comes and goes. Then it's gone.
Is this a known bug with the default stock G935TUVU4APK1 Rom?
I have notice some other subtle issues with this volume when trying to listen to YouTube App the volume would just drop and I would have to close the app and try again.
Can anyone suggest a fix.
This is the stock rom without root.
