Is there a way of tweaking the volume for the SX-56 WM03 ROM

I just finished installing the new SX-56 WM03 ROM on my O2 XDA I unit. Having tried the new ROM for hours, I find it quite satisfactory and stable compared to its predecessors but there seems to be one set back though, the volume!!! It's quite noticeable that the volume had been tweaked down to about 30%, and they just made it more impossible for XDA users to hear whether there's an incoming call or message. Is there a way around this? I really hate to switch back to my old ROM just because of this!!!
Expert Advice Needed!!!
Your help will be greatly appreciated...

I have same problem... I think it's bug. If I set the system volume high, then the phone ring silent, if I set the system volume low, then the phone ring loud...

If you set the phone to 80%, means to klick under max. Than you can use 100% phone ring and volume.

Yup, that's exactly the case! you set the volume at 80% and it gives a louder voulme than having it set on 100%. I guess there is someone here who knows how to get around this problem...

So does anyone really have a clear solution to this problem? like a program I guess?

The solution: switch to ROM T-Mobile 2003 v4.01.16 ENG, and it's look like working fine without AT&T sound level bug.
I downloaded directly from T-Mobile, but I think You can find it at ftp://xda-developers.com

Loud in-call volume

I've been noticing the following strange behavior:
Sometimes the in-call volume is just too loud. Even on the minimum volume setting someone standing a couple of meters away from you will still perfectly hear the conversation. This only happens when receiving a call, never (as far as I can tell) when making one.
If during the call I switch on and then off the speaker, then the volume goes back to what it should be.
Has anyone noticed this before? Workarounds?

Yes, I've noticed this.
Always does it when it has been connected to a headset.
I seem to remember it went away when I installed the Modoco rom...

Mine still does it with the Modaco rom

@squirreleater: Thanks for your reply. It is just as you say
@both: Do you know if the latest HTC firmware fixes this issue? I know, I know, but I can't find the time these days to upgrade and find for myself

I`m on the latest MCR and it still does it. Its really P*****G me off now. I hate to take a call because of it.. Surely more people than us 3 are seeing this?

Yup, same thing for me although I've never noticed a difference between receiving and making calls (will watch out for that now). Quietest setting is still ridiculously loud. I'm on MCR 2.6 but have noticed on other roms as well.

I've noticed this too, but seems as though when I press volume up, it starts working again and allows me to lower the volume.

I can confirm that your workaround is just fine. Thanks.

So if i press volume up then down it will go quieter?
I will try this next call i get...

I am getting this same problem ... thanks for the tip I will try it.

I just noticed this. but after having my hero for like over a month. Could have appeared when i installed like 3 games yesterday but cant see why games would cause that to happen. but yea the workaround of increasing then decreasing the volume works. and it only happens when i receive the call. strange...

The sound has gone...like completely

Hey everyone this is my first post so i apologise if this problem has been discussed at length already.
Ok so my current problem is that my htc hd2 wont make any sound whatsoever when using the rear speaker (so thats any ringing from incoming calls, notifications, videos, music etc..). I have played with the sound settings relentlessly but can't seem to change its current state and I have also done several hard resets. However, when accepting a phone call or when a pair of headphones are inserted into the handset the sound goes through fine, leading me to suspect that it is the rear speaker which is the problem (My speakerphone after accepting a call also doesnt work).
On two occasions I have been playing music on it in hopes for a sign of life and have had sound on very sharp bursts (no more then 2 seconds). In terms of any programs or updates that I have installed on to my handset I havent done anything but apply the updates from the HTC support website.
The problem ocurred on day 2 of using this handset and I have also sent an email to mobiles.co.uk to ask about a replacement handset. However I was having a lot of fun with this phone and wanted to keep it if it could be solved myself so if anybody has any ideas it would be very much appreciated!
Thanks

Try a hard reset. If the problem persists after that, it's certainly hardware related.

Same thing happened to my HD2 today, all sounds just stopped working for some reason, music player ring tone, notifications, everything, did a hard reset and everything works again, it is a bit worrying when it just happened out of the blue like that.

Did you accidentally turn the volume down using the button on the side of the device? Stupidly, system volume can be adjusted using this button.

Yes it can. It either changes both system and ringtone together (if you only use 1), or you have a tab for both (if you use both volumes), as per the sound and display settings in the settings tab.

No, that was the first thing that I checked, I have the single volume unchecked as well.

I find the single volume the better option, less chance of this kind of thing happening. Other than that, it sounds like you have either installed a tweak or combination of tweaks which are not compatible or you have a hardware fault.

Fix for low microphone volume

So, it seems I have finally found out how to adjust the microphone volume on the phone.
I have posted the instructions on my blog. If you try the solution it please respond if it works or not.

This might be veey interesting. I changed 88 to 100 but will only be able to talk to someone tomorrow.
From personal experience both sgs ans sgs2 have low treble input sent to peer. Ots annoying.
Posted from Galaxy S II

tried, we will see...

Interesting, there's an option for speaker receive volume too...

I tried it but it didn't work on audio recording (Hi-Q MP3 Recorder).
There is some way to adjust mic volume of voice recording?, My old SGS recordings were a lot louder than on my new SGSII.

Great thank you so much for the post. It helped me out.

MY SGS2 DOES NOT HAVE THIS VOLUME ISSUE! PEOPLE HEAR ME VERY WELL, SOMETIMES THEY ACTUALLY LOWER THE VOLUME IT IS SO LOUD!!!
Seriously, how much better does it get? I am not in a noise free environment at the moment, how big of a gain does this produce? Does this fix work with the genuine wired headphones?

i thought this fix was temporary only, after a phone reboot the fix resets to default ?

how often do you reboot your phone?

I must admit...in all the smartphone that i have ever used.....This is the only phone that i have never rebooted except when flashing roms/kernels etc...

I never reboot! I did today, because I wanted to calibrate the battery for the first time and I let it die. So I let it die after 24 hours of use, and then when it turned on it rebooted
I love my phone

It works but sadly as others have already mentioned, after a reboot, you have to re enter the settings, which is the only draw back, and am one of those who reboots the phone on a daily. Is there any way of making this permanent even following a reboot?. I can imagine its probably difficult, but thought I'd ask anywhere. Thanks op.

I'm actually looking for a way to lower the input gain, as my voice comes out distorted on the other side. Any clues? Besides the obvious "Turn 88 into something lower, I tried 70 and didn't work"

I don't know how the values can be saved so that they survive a restart. Personally I only restart my phone when it runs out of battery, or if I've done flashing that requries a reboot. If I need to disconnect from the real world airplane mode is used.
So, has anyone had any luck using this method? Seems to work for me.

That's quite the opposite problem Other than what you tried I have no idea. Sounds like a faulty device?

Actually, I tried 20 yesterday, and it did solve my problem!
Now sound is crisp and undistorted!
The question is,
1. How to make it stick reboot.
2. What do the rest of the volumes do? Vol0_1 0_2 0_3 etc, you suggested to edit number 5. Why specifically that one?

1. Still a mystery
2. My guess is that there are certain levels of output, and that all of them should be adjusted according to the other to have a linear line. The fact that I wrote that only 5 should be edited was simply because that worked for me.

First, great thanks hpe !!
I got my phone 2 days ago and got same problem.
ppl could not hear me well.
I tried your solution, hope it will help (tried 1-2 calls and seems ok).
I have noticed also that when you talk you should be
stable with your hand and your face , I mean,
it should be with fix distance between the mouth and phone, not important the distance but it should be stable during the call, if not the AGC comes up and down and the other side can't hear you well...
About save setting,
Maybe there is ini file or something (rooted phone) that can be changed to keep value after reboot, I have noticed in the 2 days I have the phone that I had to reboot phone after install application to get it works well.

I've follow the hpe solution but i still have volume problem
My specific problem is:
On Normal Mic call > very low volume... on my SGS2 with android 2.3.3
But with Speaker call > clear (no problem)
Very strange!! I can't be able to solve this problem.
I'd like to precise that with other voip app like bria or "csip simple" i have no problem, mic volume is perfect..

Speaker call uses different mic settings (since you've a higher distance between your mouth and the mic while using speaker), so it might just the "normal mic call" volume setting which fails.

I have understand and many thanks for your reply but it's strange that those settings works perfectly with the other voip applications..

OnePlus 5 not ringing on incoming calls.

Hello, i've a problem with my Oneplus 5. Most of the time I get phone calls, the screen lights up and let me know that someone is calling, but there is no sound.

It sounds strange, but did you set a ringtone and check if it's working in ringtone settings and also the volume of ringtone isn't too low?

This issue doesn't happen always. Sometimes it will ring. Sometimes it will not. without changing any settings.
Sometimes changing the Alert Slider to Silent position and bringing it back to Ring Mode helps.

? Everytime or not?
Please give also information about your rom, gapps version, additional mods and apps. Bootloader unlocked and magisk installed?
Have you tried to clean install the rom?

Not everytime. Most of the time it happens like that. 6 out of 10 times.
Phone is not rooted. Bootloader is not unlocked.

Any suggestions? i have seen many OP5 users facing the same problem and complaining in oneplus forums. Looks like they are deleting many of the threads related to this issue.
Anyone else faced the similar issue here ?

Me too, it only gets solved with a restart. Totally stock OB5.
Its known in OP forums, I hope it gets solved in next releases.

I have that issue too, but probably happens with Whatsapp messages. And yes, the only fix seems to be a restart. I've noticed this starts happening after a couple days of no restart. Cheers!

Its a known bug, you can solve *temporarily* by setting a preinstalled ringtone. This bug happens only when you set a custom ringtone.

This was a known bug for oneplus 5. They released a new update to fix this.
Not sure whether it is same for oneplus 6

I recently updated to 5.1.5 and the no ring problem started for me (
