Hello all
here is some info that I collected from multiple other places to help with the low volume problem in my Samsung Focus:
Increase Speaker Volume
1- Go to the dialer of your phone and access diagnostic mode by dialing ##634# or start the Diagnosis app by clicking it from your app menu.
2- Input *#0002*28345# to get to the Audio menu.
3- See the last option named “Device Gain (max/min)”... Hit the “Get” option next to it.
4- Now from among the 3 fields: in the second one enter 16000 and in the third field enter 0.
6- Hit “Set”.
7- Tap “Start” button at the bottom of the app.
8- Exit Diagnosis by clicking the windows home button then restart your phone.
Increase Headphone Volume
1- First and foremost make sure that your headphones are attached to your phone, as the fix won’t work otherwise.
2- Go to the dialer of your phone and access diagnostic mode by dialing ##634# or start the Diagnosis app by clicking it from your app menu.
3- Input *#0002*28345# in the diagnosis screen.
4- Navigate to “Device Gain (max/min)” and hit the Get button next to it.
5- In the 3 fields, enter these values respectively 5, 1100 and –1100
6- Hit "Set".
7- on the next line below change the AUDIENCE.CFG to "on".
7- Tap on the "Start" button at the bottom of the app.
8- Exit Diagnosis by clicking the windows home button then restart your phone.
NOTE:
Speaker volume may become so loud and it may crackle at really high volumes, so I use the hardware volume buttons to stay slightly below the maximum volume
You can try using the Diagnosis app to restore the default values below, but it may not help & only a hard-reset will apply these default original volumes:
Default Volume Settings (Speaker)
Device Gain (max/min): 7 / 1200 / -500
Default Volume Settings (Headphones)
Device Gain (max/min): 5 / 400 / -1100
If you do not have the Diagnosis app (or can not enter the Diagnosis mode), you can sideload the attached .xap
Hope this helps
There is a very similar thread a while ago, and I think most of this info is already on the Samsung Focus wiki.

like i mentioned: collected from many places..so its complete info
here i added the back speaker tweak too
and added a missing step in headphone tweak that fix the settings not sticking
also alerted users about possibility of "too high" volume & how to fix + attached the diagnosis app
so, someone can put all this on wiki...& delete this thread if you want
its just when i was using the wiki info alone it was not really helping & had to search additional sites

I didn't say it's bad stuff, it is useful. You should be able to edit and put it on the wiki, I think.

I recently purchased Samsung Omnia I8350. During initialization software got upgraded to 7.5
I wanted to increase the sound volume for headset and speaker using Audio controller utility as mentioned above but the menu doesn't come up. I am able to access Diagnosis application but unable to open Audio control utility using *#0002*28345# or *#0002*28346#. Nothing happens when I type this.
Can you provide me the solution?

Sadly, I believe you have the "latest" Diagnosis delivered through "Samsung Update" (past KK2), which stops interop unlock.
Can you please run Diagnosis, and run *#1234# and check/post your PDA (1st entry)?
The "Samsung update" info is in this post. You will have to restore (in Zune) in order to use the old Diagnosis and update manually.

Hell yes!
After a few hours trying to uncover the dialing code string for the Fascinate, I finally figured it out!
I've dug into *almost* all the AndroidManifest.xmls to compose a list of hidden menus you can gain access to.
I shouldn't have to say it, but I will..
I'm not responsible if you brick your phone.
Play with these things at your own risk.
Even if I said it's been tested by me and confirmed to work.
It's not my fault if your phone takes a crap on you.
Make a backup of your phone.
I will be doing some more testing and will uncover more hidden menus, but this is what I have for now..
Some members of another forum where having trouble using these codes and I've discovered that you need Hiddenmenu enabled. To enable Hiddenmenu, do the following:
Go into the Dialer and enter *#83786633 then press the Home key
Go back into the phone dialer and enter *#22745927
Now a box will come up asking for the SPC code. Enter 000000
Press the Hiddenmenu Enable radio button.
Now you can use these codes.
The dialing code string you have to use is *##
Here are some things you can gain access to
Audio Tuning
*#28346#
Several audio tuning menus.
I've only tested the two items below:
To silence boot and shutdown audio go to Situation/BOOTSOUND and turn the values to 0. I've tested and confirmed this works.
To silence the volume key audio when turning the volume up/down go to Situation/VOLUMEKEY and turn the values to 0. I've tested and confirmed this works.
Full Bat Popup
*#3844228#
This allows you to disable the full battery pop-up.
I have tested this and it works successfully.
HwCodec
*#0002*28346#
Audio path volume controls. Most importantly, it looks like there's a sidetone adjustment.
I have not tested any of these items yet.
Shutdown
*#7594#
This enables you to shut your phone off by long-pressing the power/lock key.
No more pop-up confirmation.
I have tested this and it works successfully.
I also need to point out that this disables your slide lock screen.
Diag/Testing Mode
*#4636*1111#
Does this allow us to change intricate GPS settings, ala the "GPS fixes" for the earlier Galaxy S models?
Or is that not an issue with the Fascinate?

This isn't working for me. Nothing happens after I do this.
I enter the first string, press home, press dialer, the first string is still there and I enter the second string. Nothing happens.

You can gain access to a GPSSetup menu using this short code-
*#1472365#
The settings are set to the "fixed" values by default.
You don't need to change anything.
You can go into Command and then start GPS and force a satellite lock.
There's other cool info there too.

After pressing Home and entering back into the dialing, clear the first code and enter the second.

awesome that you figured out how to enable secret menus...now how do we enter into diag mode? i wonder what code that is. i tried 8778 but that didnt work out
*#7594#
If your enable this, it appears to not only shutdown your phone with a long press of the power key, but it also disables your lock screen (puzzle/glass screen).

It looks like the message goes away, but the screen still turns on when the battery is full. I love how bright the screen is, but even at the lowest setting this phone can light up an entire room.
Thank you SO much for including the "disable battery full popup". That thing was annoying as HELL!
Bummer that it turns on the screen, still. Also, I agree that the screen is extremely bright, even with "night mode" in the Desk Cradle app. I'd like it if I could decrease the "minimum brightness" value even more, so I could use this phone + cradle as my alarm clock replacement.
Way to go egg_head!
Does anyone know how to raise the volume for ogg files, I would like linda to be louder on my phone and i have all the volumes set to high on my phone already. Thanks in advance
This used to work in 2.1 in Froyo I have not tested
You can increase this volume beyond maximum factory setting. When you change this, please change it slowly, meaning 1 increment at a time, you don't want to blow your speakers out. it seems if you do a reboot of your phone, the settings revert back to factory for this volume fix...working to try to figure out a way to lock in the new volume settings.
Okay, lets begin. Go to your dial pad. Dial in *#*#197328640#*#*
Next, tap your finger onto the following, in the following order:
[5] Audio
[1] Handset
[1] Volume
[1] SRS Speech RX Volume
next notice the following defaults that pop up.
[0]0_lvl:63
[1]1_lvl:68
[2]2_lvl:73
[3]3_lvl:78
[4]4_lvl:83
[5]5_lvl:88
This basically means, that your volume up and down keys have 5 clicks, starting from the lowest setting, and click your volume up 5 times, takes you through the sequence of volumes listed above. You can change each click to be a new volume setting. For me 1-4 are fine, I just wanted max volume, which is click number 5, to be something higher. The phone does not let you to put in half increments, meaning 88.5 is not possible. So you have to use increments of 1. Please please do this carefully, dont suddenly jump to 95, you could blow out your speaker possibly. So I tried just 1 increment above 88, went to 89, and perfect, much louder now! okay so this is how you do it:
Once you get the list above, do the following:
Click your finger on [5]5_lvl:88
Next, a screen pops up asking for input. On the bottom of your phone, tap the menu button, this is the button next to the little home button.
Next tap "key input"
Next tap 1 increment at a time, lets start off with 89 so where it says enter value, tap this, your keyboard pops up, type in 89
Next Tap your menu button again
Next Tap "end"
you are now finished, make a phone call and see how 89 works for you, when your volume is set to max
Remember this volume adjustment seems to reset after you reboot the phone. Some people online are saying you can also make the volume higher by playing with the hearing aid settings, I personally haven't tried this yet.
Good luck hope it helps

I think I remember reading these settings get wiped after reboot. And it looks like he was asking something else.
I would probably use audacity to edit the files. Very easy to use.

Your best bet is to get an audio file editor, grab Linda off your phone and give her a 10 db gain, then put her back. If this gets you close but you still want to fiddle, edit the file again and give it either a 3 db or -3db gain.
This should be a permanent fix.
Collective thread of tips & tricks for the Xperia Arc.
I want to start by sharing two small tips that I like.
1) When you push the hardware menu button a little longer, the keyboard with Google search function appears.
2) Pinch on the home screen and widget overview shows up.
Index of other tips from forum members in the thread (thank you guys):
- Go to dialer and dial *#*#7378423#*#* for the service menu.
- The newer firmware version (4.0.A.2.368) shows whether bootloader can be unlocked or not (under configuration in service menu).
- During the incoming call alert, you can silence the phone by pressing any of the volume buttons. You'll still have the option to accept or reject the call.
- Double click on the headset's button to go to to the next song. Triple click to go back to the previous one.
- You can get a slightly larger field of vision in the video camera if you disable the image stabilizer.
- Long press the back button in default browser to access the browsing history.
- Sony Panorama Beta now works on unrooted Arc too. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14976061#post14976061
- Go to setting > about phone > keep pressing android version many times > Zombie artwork appears.
- Go to gallery-> Put 2 fingers on a folder and hold-> Now pinch out-> You will now see all the pics under that folder.
- You can change the position of the icons in the camera interface by holding and dragging them.

I have the Xperia Neo, but this must work the same with the Arc:
- Double click on the headset's button to go to to the next song. Triple click to go back to the previous one.
- You can get a slightly larger field of vision in the video camera if you disable the image stabilizer.
- Keep checking on the PlayNow store once in a while. Occasionally, some paid stuff in the Market gets added for free.
- During the incoming call alert, you can silence the phone by pressing any of the volume buttons. You'll still have the option to accept or reject the call.

Agree!
Use Go Luncher if you badly need Task Killer.
Use Mobo Player, it does better on HDMI.
Task killers are fine. Some programs do stop reappearing, some don't, that's because some inbuilt feature/service demands them back. If you are rooted, they seem to work better.

Updated above info. Wherever instructed to enter an SPC code, dial 000000. The differs from Sprint customers who have to enter an MSL code, which they typically don't have.
The code to change the voice codec EVRC to EVRC-B has been found. Just follow the directions below. If it dials the code you entered then you need to follow the steps in the first post to enable the secret menus.
Open the dialer then press
**772
SPC code 000000
The bottom of the screen will have buttons that are directional like a d-pad.
Press down until you see:
SVC Mode NAM1
End of BASIC NAM
Exit
Press right once you will see EXIT change to MORE
Hit enter
Press Down once and you will See

EVRC
Push right button to change to EVRC-B

WARNING!!!!
THIS COMMAND
"##GPSCLRX# - Reset the GPS - (Verizon customers: whenever prompted for SPC enter 000000)"
FORCES THE SAMSUNG MOMENT TO LOOP RESTART FOR APPROXIMATELY 5 MINUTES UNTIL IT FINALLY REBOOTS THE PHONE.
I HAVE TESTED THIS, AND WENT TO SPRINT STORE, WHERE THEY JUST REPLACED THE PHONE
I'm not sure what it would do with the fascinate...
I have used the hidden gps menu alot, but when i tried the "##GPSCLRX# command it made the Samsung loop restart, it would reboot itself for 5 or 10 minutes before finally booting to home screen
I read on another forum (don't remember which one) that it clears the GPS then functions as i said above, the posters fix was to boot to recovery and restore phone to factory defaults.
i was unable to boot to recovery using his key sequence (volume down, power key and camera simultaneously)
I want use the secret menus, but am having issues with the first steps. I am supposed to go into the Dialer and enter *#83786633 then home, then after entering *#22745927 do I do something else bc nothing cues me to enter SPC code??
Thanks!
Here is what you do. You enter the first code, then go home. Back to the dialer and delete the first code then enter the second. after that a screen pops up asking for the password or whatever it is then enter 000000. after that start entering whatever codes you want. It confused me too at first.
On android 2.2, there is listing for mms provisioning in ##DATA#. It asks for the lock code. I tried the SPC but it does not work. I also tried other possible lock codes. What could be the lock code?
##DATA#
MMS provisioning Lock Code = 500667
Hey guys, the hidden menues don't really work after 2.2. I remembered that TSM parts in the COMRom had it already accessable though.
You can also read this link. I have not verified it yet but looks to take care of your full battery pop up issue.

Disable Lock Screen
Hey I was wondering if you were able to get this to work...I upgraded the software the other morning and now no app bypasses the lock screen...I use NoLED as well, and if I can get the lock disabled and be able to use NoLED I would be golden, for some reason that whole lock thing just pisses me off ;o)
I went to the dialer punched in the codes to unhide the menu, I assume all I have to do is hit send? Didnt work... am I missing something?

To disable it without using an app or rooting your phone, you can enable the Hidden menu by doing the following:
Go into the Phone dialer and enter *#83786633
Press the Home key
Go back into the phone dialer and remove the previous numbers
Enter *#22745927
A menu box will prompt for the SPC code. Enter: 000000
Press the Hidden Menu Enable radio button.
Now you can use the below codes to do the following:
Disable Full Bat Popup:
*#3844228#
This allows you to disable the full battery pop-up.
Enable quick Shutdown and disable swipe screen:
*#7594#
Disables your slide lock screen completely.
This enables you to shut your phone off by long-pressing the power/lock key.
By-passing the pop-up confirmation and mode selection.
Again, do so at your own risk... Done this twice successfully on 2 separate Fascinate phones.
Why? There are threads and websites and blogs listing this stuff already. Pointless post.

I usually don't say anything against ANYONE, but if you google this stuff you will find out that... this is the same post as many others, and I mean identicle.. as in copy and pasted from there to here.
I wanted to try this out for the gps, however its not working for me. Does this work for CM7 or just TW? I cant seem to access hidden menus.
I can only access *#*#4636#*#*, no others?
I can only access *#*#4636#*#*, no others?
You have hit *#22745927 then enter 000000 in the SPC code to enable the hidden menu's
I gather the codes up and put them in one thread I thought might make it easier on the ones looking for them if you got a problem with don't open the thread!!!!
No dice on any key combo I've tried. I found in another forum for different phone that cm7 doesn't work with these codes.

Here's a code not many people know... if you do *#5318008#* and turn it upside down it gives you a secret message.

Hi there.
How can I increase the volume of the microphone?
Can I adjust it in the service menu ?
The microphone is very quiet!
Many people do not understand me well because I'm so quiet ...

Hold the phone closer to your mouth when speaking? Especially if this happens when you use the phone in noisy environments. You can also go to the settings menu and try disabling the (call settings) noise suppression option.
The built in microphone has an automatic level control, so an external mic will do a lot better in unusual situations like this. You can set the mic gain in the service mode menu but it may have undesirable consequences, so you should leave that as a last resort. Moreover you still have to contend with the auto level if you are using the internal mic, so raising the mic gain would not be expected to help if there is high background noise levels.

Thanks for your answer.
Can you tell me how can i adjust it in the service menu ???
Change the setting in the "audio" submenu of the service mode page.
