[Q] Turn the volume up?

EDIT: Finally I've pasted the solution from user cerato a few lines below. Thnx all!
Don't know if it's only my unit, but the volume is pretty low in max lvl in comparison with my old hd2.
Is there a way to boost the maximum volume?
thnx in advance!
Edit: aditional info by cerato, thanks!
Here's the trick folks. Really
======================
Increase Speaker Volume
•Enter the phone dialer
•##634#, tap Call.
•Enter code: *#0002*28346# or *#0002*28345#
•Tap: Get, under the Device Gain (max/min)
•First Box: 7
•Second Box: change to 16000
•Third Box set to 0
•Tap: Set
•Be sure that audience.cfg is set to on
•Tap: Start
•Tap: Home
•Restart your phone.
•After reboot, enter the same menu and just tab get to verify the settings
Increase Headphone Volume
Note: Make sure your headphones are plugged in first
•Enter the phone dialer
•##634#, tap Call
•Enter code: *#0002*28346# or *#0002*28345#
•Tap: Get under the Device Gain (max/min)
•For "device gain" leave number 5, set 1100 (max) and -1100 (low)
•Tap: Set
•Verify that AUDIENCE.CFG is ON
•Tap: Start
•Tap Home
•Restart your phone.
•After reboot, enter the same menu and just tab get to verify the settings
Enjoy

I agree it needs a boost. Maybe someone knows a way to boost it in the dev settings?

how can i revert this change? it's too loud and it changed the volume level from the whole system.
is there a way to change only the front speaker volume lvl?
the rear speaker volume and the one from the headphones are definitely okay and loud enough...
pls help

Interesting, the same code (*#0002*28346#) doesn't work on my UK Tmobile Omnia 7 :S

*#0002*28346# worked not for me ( German 16GB T-Mobile ) but *#0002*28345# does bring up an sound tuning screen

thnx it worked!

*#0002*28346# didnt work for me either but *#0002*28345# gave me sound tuner.
is this the same menu as *#0002*28346# is for others.
I discovered somthing amazing for anyone who cant turn off shutter noise on their phones: go to the audio tuner and press write to set all values to 0. the camera now dosnt make a sound ... only problem is nothing else does either so dont do it!!!
would anybody be so kind as to go to the audio tuner and press the read button at the top and give me all the values so that my phone can work again??
Thankyou!!

anyone have any ideas on this?

managed to fix it and camera shutter now mutes when on 0 volume!! that makes me v. happy!
was quite worried I had wiped the settings for my main speaker but have managed to get them back by pressing every button 20 times over!
be careful if you try it yourself
EDIT: actualy the main speaker only works 50% of the time and I havnt yet worked out when and why it changes
if anyone knows anything i could try please let me know!

I would like to know if this is possible too.
During a phone call, raising or lowering the volume seems to have no effect at all on front speaker. Can you notice any difference?
How can we adjust the volume during a phone call?

Can we do smth about the volume of the microphone? People tell me that they don't hear me very well...

hey is there any way to make the headphones volume louder ??? cause this one only turns speaker volume up, if there is any way to do it please let me know its highly needed

new here, yeah my sumsung is a bit low on the headphone.. please help.. as i don't understand how those turning tip in above post work

i followed the instructions, but the volume remains de same!
has this happened to anyone?
my Omnia 7 has a poor volume during calls... in crowded places it's hard to ear the other person in call...

An overall problem seems to be the max volume during calls(Confirmed by colleagues as well...). The rest like games,music,... is really on a different Level when on max...
Seems to be, there is a chance to mess things up a little bit with the posted codes...
So, can we boost the volume for calls only ? I really dont want to affect the other volume settings...
thanks

Hey guys, i dont know what happened but now i only have 2 volume options. That is the volume at 0 or max volume. for eg, if i use the rocker to vol. lvl 0, it is muted like it should, but from vol. lvl 1 - 30 (or whatever max is) the vol. lvl is the same and is amazingly loud. and doesnt change
EDIT: a simple reboot fixed the problem. Thank god cause as i was trying to fix this, i felt as if the speakers were dying

actually I have the opposite situation, I find the volume, even at 1/30, too loud.
Playing with those settings sometimes produces changes sometimes not...

Screenshots anyone?
Can anyone post a screenshot of the original settings in the sound diagnostic screen? I would like to reset the phone back to the original settings.
A reboot of the phone does not restore the orginial settings.

Galaxy Tab Eurofirm In Call Volume

Hi Folks, I noticed today my GT speaker in call volume gets low. Volume levels are set at max. I check the music, videoplayback and media volume and all is ok. The only problem is calling.
Thinking it was after I used a Samsung WEP450 Bluetooth to make calls. I just don't used it today and noticed this.
Mine is a T-mobile USA GT, running ROTO JMEv4 Firmware. Anyone else with this situation?

Can anyone post the dial code (*#@@@@@@#) to get the service menu that lets you change the default volumes?

I just fixed it. I called my self via the GT and Up the volume at the highest level. Then Down two levels and the In Call Volume from the Speaker get fixed. Woot Woot!
I don't know what could be happening. If I Up it to the highest turn lower. But It's fixed by Now... again, Woot Woot!

speaker in call volume hack = (*#*#197328640#*#*) I'm not sure what values change there. But this is the service menu!

Enter that code into your dialer and the service menu opens. Tap [5]Audio [1]Handset [1] Volume I changed all the volumes to 92.

When you say "all" you mean to row #3 SRC I2S1 RX Volume and #4 DST Speech TX Volume?
If so I do that and doesn't fix the problem. I just maintain using my original fix. I don't know what happened! I had a friend with the same trouble and I give to him mi FIX and he fixed it. Well "fix" in quotes...!!!
But by now I can say Woot Woot!

any reason why 92 is the max and not 100?

I have a Verizon Tab "no phone" How do I get to service mode

Changing the in call volume in the service menu does nothing. Also, if you reboot your changes do not get saved.

Woop Woop!
Just called myself and set the volume to 2 down from highest and it now sounds a lot louder!!
Thank you!
ps This wasn't the case when I had the stock Samsung firmware.. sounded fine then.. It only started when I started all this custom-romming-schtomming.. maybe its a kernel thing? I'm on modaco at the moment.

You are correct - 100 is the max. I never go max on volume (crackles, distortion, etc.).
There are several volume adjustments, just look around in all the menus. Reboot when you are done experimenting.

I must be getting a placebo. Or standing too close to a few explosions did damage.

Go Audio > Speaker > diamond solution and there is also a setting there for Voice Booster.

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 ?

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..

Lost in Forum..need some answers

Made a transition from N1 to GS2 and not sure I actually liked the phone. 4 days now and trying very hard to keep it. The dev forum is huge here with 2 different sections and struggling with some of the tweaks and mods.
1)the volume on phone earpiece during call is very low. Even jacking vol all the way upto 100%, I sometimes struggle to hear other person properly. Also to add is the voice of call sounds very "distant". Anyone experiencing this?
2) is there an option to turn off "auto rotate" for dialer?
3) any settings for selection of notification widget?
4) how to change lockscreen to default android one?
much appreciated replies. Cheers.

Yes, I miss stickied dev list of updates of all the ROMs that can be seen in other device forums. Guess it will eventually pick up when the device matures.
2) 3) No, you will have to switch to a custom ROM as far as I know
4) You might have luck with the WidgetLocker lockscreen app.

No sound at all

Hello!!!
I have a big problem with my omnia 7
From one moment to the other I have no sound: no ring tone, no alarm...
All the rest works ok.
I allready tryed severall roms stock and cooked and the problem remains.
Any sugestion?
Anyone have the stock rom for swiss orange?
Thanks

I am having the sma problem with my omnia 7. All of a sudden I lost the ring, message, alarm sounds. Other than that the phone is working normally. And also if I plug in a headset, i can hear the sound fine.
When I searched the internet some of the options for this problem are:
1. Headphone slot could be stuck somehow and so the phone thinks there is a headphone attached. Solution is to try to plug in and out a headphone jack in to the slot several times to try to loosen the slot. Didnt work for me.
2. I read in one post that a hard reset solved the problem. Didnt tried it yet, I dont want to setup the phone from the scratch. That will be my last option.
3. Somewhere I read about people going in to the diagnostic mode and adjust some audio properties like audio gain, speaker output vs. I am not sure if that will solve the problem.
4. Some suggest to send the phone to samsung for a repair. That is not an option for me, as omnia 7 is not officially sold in my country (Turkey) so there is no support for it.
I am still searching the internet for a solution, and will appreciate if anyone can up with one.
Thanks

Problem solved
I found a solution for this problem and posted it in another similar post. I am writing the same information here.
I was playing with some diagnostic codes from a website I found on the internet, I noticed there is a "Melody Test\Test External and Internal Speaker" which you can access by typing *#0289# while inside the diagnostic mode. While inside this melody test application I pressed the option 1. Speaker [L-R] ON and option 2. Receiver ON. I dont know which option did it but suddenly a ring tone started coming from the speaker.
I closed the diagnostic app and return to the main menu and now my ringtones, game sounds start working. Hopefully this will be a real solution not a temporary one.
Note:if it not listed in the app list, to get in to the diagnostic mode press ##634# from the phone pad.
Also note: I tried to post the link of the page which contains all the diagnostic codes of omnia but the xda forum would not allow me to post a link outside because I am a new user. The page i found was on wp7forum website

Thank you. Im gonna try.

Well...I tried your sugestions and only the 3rd worked. (after typing *#0289#, 2. Receiver ON)
But I have sound just until a new resart, then sound is gonne!!!
and with you?

You are right, after the restart the sound is gone for me too.
And also as "mrtnz" in an other similar thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1546374) mentioned, probably this solution does not exactly activate the speaker on the back but re-routes all music and such to the front speaker ("ear piece")
I though this might be the solution, but apparently not.

Need help .... After i have discharged my Omnia 7 , All Sounds are gone , my mic is not working too !!!!
Any hint what it could be ?

Speaker fine - but no sound ?
Likewise ; my Omnia 7 does not give out a ring tone/sound.
I took it in to get a new speaker ; but when fitted, problem remains.
I can hear sound with earphones - but nothing externally -
I was told if I download an update ; it may fix the problem ?
The only theory the shop could give was that I had began an update when the battery was about flat ;
and somehow this may deactivate the external speaker/sound.
Thanks for the suggestion 'junior' - will try that ; however it seems apparently that was not a permanent fix.
As I am basically tecnicall challenged/OLD .... any easy/detailed instruction on how to get the ring-tones/sound back/on
would be appreciated.

Some improvement!

Following previous info ; I used the hash hash 634 hash code to access Diagnostic panel ;
I then tried star hash 0673 hash ; and got the mentioned sound L/R ON page -
By clicking/holding ON I have now got some sound comming through ;
Its not loud, although I have volume up full/30 - and dont know how long it will last ;
But at least proves its an software type fault rather than anything wrong with the actual speakers.
