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

HD2 in-call volume

Hi,
I am about to get myself an HD2 in the next few days. I wanted to ask you to tell me how do you find the in-call volume of the device. I have a hearing problem so i need a loud device.
Thank you

mine is a tmous branded version.
to be honest, it isn't the loudest device i have had. when making a call i often find myself trying to turn it up more often than not. it is as though the sound isn't concentrated and seems a little more spread out, if that makes more sense. but when i put to max (not needed for every call) i can hear without any problem...and it doesn't sound distorted.
hope that helps.
cheers.

Issue, volume goes quiet out no reason

My alarm clock failed me again this morning! This is the second times in less than 1 month. This is quite annoying and I don't even understand WHY?
Settings are correct, volume set at about 50% and it works (most of the time ) fine. But this morning when the alarm rang out, for not reason, volume was barely audible.
And I actually noticed that all other sounds (ringtone, notification and media) had the same problem. I tried to set media volume to max, I could ear some sound but nothing compare to loud sound it should be. I didn't find any way to fix this, except rebooting my gs. After that everything was working perfectly fine.
Anyone with the same problem? Thanks in advance for your help.

Tell us a bit about the firmware you are running, any custom ROM's? Eclair or Froyo?

Actually I used the wrong forum, my phone is a Galaxy S I9000 released for the Japanese market (Japanese name: GALAXY S SC-02B). Appreciate if an admin can move this topic to this appropriate forum, thx.
Here are the details:
Firmware version: 2.2
Baseband version: SC02BOMJJ1
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1
Build number: FROYO.OMJJ1
I also use the free version of AudioManager as volume manager

Hey,
did you find any solution to this problem? Same thing happened to me, like even set to maximum sound was really low afterall for some reasons.
any updates?

[Q] Mic volume too soft in Dorimanx ROMs

I googled and searched the forum, most saying the in-call volume is too loud and so forth.
But I am getting the other end, where the other side can't hear me much unless my lips are literally next to the microphone or shout it out loud.
Done many tests and confirmed that my previous TYTUNG ROM was better, but then it freezes my phone with incoming calls sometimes... I have had a few updates through Dorimanx and quite happy except this low mic volume issue.
Does anyone have a clue on this? I would like to seek for solutions better flashing out another ROM like crazy. Thanks!

Do you have speaker phone enabled ? if not , thats your problem . when using the earpiece for a call the microphone levels are set as if you are holding the device right up to your ear and the microphone is right next to your mouth . as a normal phone would work . try enabling speaker phone and see if that does anything .
If not you could try this http://code.google.com/p/custom-android-sciphone-n19/wiki/MicGain are phones (well mine at least) doesnt have this file but at the same time if you add this file and reboot it may use it . just be sure to backup everything using recovery backup . just in case .

You can use HD2 Mic Control on the Maket.
Or flash Tytung kernel

Suddenly very low in call volume on every Nand androids issue

Hi, guys
Have big issue with incall volume, on every nand androids which i flashed in last 2 day have almost non possibe to hear other person.
When putting call on speaker its normal volume and can here everything.
Problem started after few days while using miui hd android.
Searched this section of forum and didnt find any working solution.
Tried this:
Task29 provided by doloop
Reinstalling DFT_LEO_MAGLDR113_DAF
Reinstalling Cwm 3.x.x AND 5.0.2.7 Recovery
Tried different Flash.cfg partition size
Tried around 10 diffferent nand roms
But allways same results, very low incall sound, normall speaker sound.
Is this maybe hardware failure?
Doesn maybe changing to some Radio would fix issue even i use current radio till now without any issue for almost 2 years.
Radio rom which use is: Radio Leo 2.15.50.14
Any advice is wellcome, ty in advance.

I don't see what it can be other than hardware failure, but if you try Volume+ you can increase the volume of your mic/headset by a lot (although you will have to trade off some sound quality at the higher ranges). Is it just the in-call volume or the volume when playing music aloud as well? Might help deduce whether it's a hardware or software fault. My dad's old iPhone 2G (I've been pestering him to get an upgrade for ages) has an issue where it detects something plugged into the headphone jack even when it's not there. Maybe your phone is doing a similar thing?

Shortly:
Calls which are on speakerphone works and its clear and loud
Notification, ringtones working clear and loud
Music is playing and sound loud and normal.
Calls on headset sound loud and normal
In call volume is very low(when call isnt putted on speakerphone), hard to hear person even when volume is up fully.

Well in that case it isn't hardware failure and I honestly don't know why it would happen so randomly. Try messing with the call settings in the settings menu and see what you can change that might solve your issue. For example, try turning off the dial tones (or whatever they're called) and haptic feedback etc., it's helped others in the past judging by what I could find.

fix permissions in cwm should work. u can find it under advanced

i dont think its hardware related from what you say.maybe you are unlucky and have problems with the specific rom.
if you cant adjust it from the settings on the phone, there are some apps on the market that let you adjust all the sound related features (volume control+,audio manager and many more).
then you can try reflashing your rom (clean install preferred after you do a backup)
if that fails maybe theres dust or garbage in the cracks and you should try cleaning your phone from the inside(but thats VERY risky if you dont know how to open the phone properly..)
and if everything fails then try a new rom maybe?????

Ty guys for helps and advice .Seems after a while that found source of issues, was related to Ext partition in combination with androids which use them. My card works suspicious, ill need to buy new one, this time ill stick with Sandisk type, current is Toshiba's card micro hc version which from start didn't gave me some good reliability on hd2.
