Volume is very loud stock android 5.0 HELP ??????? - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can someone help me because the system,lockscreen,touchscreen sounds ara very loud in lollipop and i already set the volume very low but it is still very loud. i did a fatory reset 3 x but stil the same i am on G900FXXU1BOE5.
its so loud it looks like the loudspeaker is poping out on kitkat it was very good but in lollipop its very loud i dont know why please help

did you go to the main volume control panel and set the "system" slider all the way down? You can also turn the lockscreen sound off until you figure it out.

yes every single slider is all the way down i had this with a earlier build to I thought that maybe would fix this with the new BOE5 but stil the same i did a factory reset wipe data wipe cache wipe dalvik 3 x and still the same very loud and very irritating.

Are you sure it's not something simple like your only turning down 1 of the volumes and not the rest like Call/VM/Media, etc. Maybe it is a problem with the main volume not turning down the rest of the audio sources? I I have an audio widget on one of your screens. I dunno, sometimes we forget the simple solutions

If your rooted you can modify the mixer_profile.XML file. It can raise or reduce speaker volume
There are many guides for this but if u can't find msg me and ill help

Volume step

I find the fact, that there is only 5 steps of volume level available, very very annoying
Is there any way to increase the number of steps?
Thanks
Good question! i'd be interested in this also!
Would also like to remove the soft start of ringtones on Samsung.
you also can press directly on the screen if the amount of volume you would to keep, if it's not on the few steps possible
that's what i usually do, more precise
What is also annoying when you push volume up/down it changes your ring volume and NOT the system volume by default. Pain in the a$$

I think it depends on the last tab you were on; system vs ring volume.
But yes you can use your finger as a slider to make fine adjustments.

Nope mine definitely defaults at ring volume all the time.
I sometimes want to alter the volume in the pocket but the jumps are too big.
There was/is a diamond tweak program (maybe from schaps) that allows you to limit the max volume. In doing so the steps become smaller.
Someone told me so .... i didn´t tested it.

is that site in english as well somewhere as I cant figure out how to use the cab, other than installing it.
Google offers translation servives... try this link...

Thanks I've installed the cab and soft reset the phone to take effect.
Now it defaults to system volume rather than ring volume.
Sadly still jumps 3 levels though.
yep, changing the volume by 10% or maybe 5% steps with the buttons would be fantastic. maybe someone can write a tools for it...
I second this request! It would be a nice little tweak to the Touch HD if the volume steps were reduced a bit. As it is now, I sometimes find myself in situations where the volume is either a little bit too loud or a little bit too quiet. Hitting that sweet spot in between would be a big improvement!
You can have more steps using touch screen, but it works only in System tab. Ring tab still have big steps.

Thanks for bringing that to my attention! It does solve my problem, since it was the system volume I wanted to fine-tune (e.g. for music). It still would be nice if these smaller volume steps could be mapped to the hardware volume button as well, since I sometimes need to adjust the sound on the go. That would be easier if I didn't have to do it via the touch screen.

Same problem for me. Steps with the side button are too big.
Anyone knows if there is a tweak to increase the number of steps for the sound bars? This is immensily frustrating. I CANT listen to music with the HD since it's either too soft (6%) or too loud (13%)...
This is really pathetic...

[Q] How can I increase the volume on my mum's new Wildfire?

G'day all
My mum just bought herself a new Wildfire, and so far she's liking it, but she reckons that the ringtone volume on it is not as loud as her old Nokia N95-3. Has anyone tried hacking the volume on the Buzz yet? Would I have to r00t the phone?
Hope you can all help, and thanks all in advance?
PS: Would a Froyo Sense ROM be worth installing, over having Eclair with the Telstra crap there?
Anyone?

Don't root - if you charge the phone whilst it is off and then remove the cable the light remains and you have to remove the battery to make it usable
and to increase the rinfer volume press the up button on the left when music isn't playing
Umm, hate to say it, but it seems you're getting the wrong idea about my problem, mate.
Well the first thing I did was I made sure that the ringer volume was turned up full bore using the volume rocker on the side, like come on, the ringer volume level setting would be the first thing most people would check before they'd post this stuff on XDA.
By the way, the notification LED isn't the problem btw. I only asked if I would have to root the phone to adjust some low level setting to make Android give more volume out the speaker than what it currently allows.

Oops my bad I'll try turning off that feature, and let you know how I go.
And I might wait a bit before rooting, now that you mention that CWMod on the wildfire is rather wonky when you charge it.

phone keypad sound volume....

Hi
Can anyone help?
This is annoying more than stopping me using the phone but when i want to make a phone call the noises of the tone dialing when you press a number are very very faint, have to hold it to my ear to hear it, it wasnt like this yesterday??????
Have checked all the sound settings and volume and they are all high/max but still no joy, spoken to HTC who I could not understand, sounded spanish and he could not do it either...
Keypad volume is linked to the media volume, turn the media volume up in the sound settings and you should be good.
Already done that..... its on max and phone button noise is barely audible....
Just noticed its not just the dialing tones its also the little tick noise you get when you press any icon on the screen, thats quiet too
Have you dropped your phone over night? Is it running stock?
Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk
My phone is standard.... has a few apps etc but thats it.
I did drop it a few weeks ago, no visible damage, but im quite sure the dialer noise and click when you tap the screen has just happened.... its not gone its just very very quiet... tried ticking the button to switch it on and off and that has not done anything either, HTC said they didnt know but to do a hard reset
Have you used the fm radio? Sounds odd but I used it once on either the desire or desire hd and when the volume on that was down so was the system volume. Stab in the dark
Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk
Ive never used the radio on this phone, i even removed the otter box case to see if that was muffling the noise and its not.... looks like a hard reset then!
Gutted mate, let us know if the reset works.

its a small bub install a free app volume ace and when u open it u'll see a system volume slider.... jst slide up...and here u go...full vol as before...
What do you mean about "its a small bub..."
I will try and find the app, thanks for the info
Just download an app called Quick Settings and adjust the System Volume to max and you can hear the screen taps and other sounds. I had this problem and that app solved it.
I don't know how but I've suddenly got the keypad sounds back at correct volume on phone dialer.. but strangely my qwerty keypad noises have not only returned but now sounds like an old fashioned type writer??? My 4 yr old was messing with it earlier, but I've checked all settings and they haven't changed..
I had the same problem thanks for recommending the app its worked perfectly Your my hero lol Seriously though thanks.
Thanks a lot mate !! Volume Ace is AWESOME \m/ Solved all my problems

Mine are hit and miss honestly. I have a lot of custom ringtones, and some are loud some aren't. I do have a set that I modified for the LG G3 that had the loudness boosted. I may have try them. I don't know if its a speaker issue, or what.

I think the placement of the speaker may have something to do with it. I mean. sometimes my email notification goes off, and its loud. and then if I'm holding the phone, and the same notification goes off, its softer, so I wonder if I'm blocking the speaker ya know?

Pretty sure sounds are reduced when you're detected to be holding the phone
I've noticed it really depends on the ringtone or sound itself. I was missing the ones i was using on my M8, so I ended up downloading them and adding them to the 10. Azalea is tone of the loudest notification sounds I've found.

I have a slightly different question about ringtones and notifications. I've been able to add my own ringtone, but can't figure how to add a new notification sound. I thought it would be as easy as dropping a sound file in the notification folder like my M8, but nothing is showing up in settings. Is there a particular file it needs to be, or am I putting it into the wrong folder? Or am I just doing something completely wrong?

I also had this issue. I found that after placing the notifications in the Notification folder and then restarting the phone, everything showed correctly. For some reason the phone had to be restarted before they would show in the Notification selector screen

does somebody here noticed this? when the phone is ringing this ONLY sound in the lower speaker very muffled and low, the upper speaker not sounds at all
when i hear music this sounds very good in both speakers ( i´m usin poweramp)
it seems like a software/ error
Happening on mine also.
Transmissum est uti Tapatalk ab Xperia Z-IV tabula meo
Also happening on mine. Ringtones and notifications sound great when I'm selecting them, but when I actually get a call, email or text they sound muffled. Its very annoying. Any ideas?
I wrote to HTC chat ( customer support), I did everything that they told me, and nothing ( i cleared the wipe cache and them I did a factory reset). They said that the query was upscale to the developers and they should include a fix in the next software update . I´m sure about a software bug. Does somebody try to root and use Viper4A?
It's getting weirder: like you guys already said before, the ringtone only fires from the bottom speaker which sounds just muffled and overall bad. Though after around 9 seconds it seems like the top speaker kicks in and suddenly I have a clear sound, just like how the original file is supposed to sound. Is that are a hardware defect or just a really annoying software bug?
Edit: Just noticed this is the Verizon thread, while mine is a European model of Three UK/AT on 1.53.
Anyone figure this out? Once in awhile I've had it where it did play out of both speakers while receiving a phone call. Really don't like how low the ringtones and notifications sound out of just the bottom speaker.

I am also looking for solution for this.
Well, this is going to sound really stupid, but I finally just turned down the volume. Except it wasn't as easy as it sounds, and I can't explain how I did it. Volume setting was resistant to being permanently reduced, so I just kept poking and prodding at different volume settings and finally success. Good luck....

Now reboot your phone and tell us that message doesn't come back when you raise the volume to max.

Interesting. You should have 3 dots in the upper right corner for more settings. Perhaps your country doesn't require the warning?
The high volume warning is an EU thing, annoying AF.
No 3 dots in volume settings either. Though I have seen this warning before on my a50. I am not sure if it appeared also for my s10 for first time or not but now it doesnt occur anymore. In my country, it gives that warning only for first time you try to raise the volume I guess.
Samtweak v2 worked for me
I'm using a UK Vodafone S10 Plus, ive just checked my volume. I don't get that message at all on mine. Maybe cause I use the app Volume Boost by Goodev. Only use it to increase the volume, didnt know it even had that feature, never checked til just now, or maybe it's not the app and I didnt have it in the first place. Don't want to uninstall it to find out. Never bothered me that much anyway.

Because it's been fairly easy to remove up until now and I don't need ANOTHER, useless dialog/notification to dismiss.
