I know this subject has come up, but the responses seem pretty old and people seem to have different views about whether rooting allows the low in-call volume to be raised. So first, I just bought a g5 Plus and the volume is too low; if you're wondering if the problem still exists, it does. So have people had recent experience, either good or bad, in trying to raise the volume, and if so what did you do? If I can't raise the volume level it's going back, but if it's fixable through the mixer settings or a mixer program I might keep it and give it a shot. Thank you.

Has anyone found a hack to increase the speaker volume when holding the JAM to your ear. My hearing is not good at all...remember when mom used to say "turn that music down, you'll go deaf" turns out the old girl was right.
The volume on the JAM seems even lower to me since doing the latest ROM update. There must be a registry setting to increase the volume. I've not seen anything that jumps out, but I'm willing to bet that there is a way.

low earpiece volume
hi paragon,
I fully support your criticism about the poor audio level at max setting. There must be sufficient potential in increasing the audio level since there is the loudspeaker function available.
Now 2 people are waiting desperately for a solution by a honourable specialist which allows for an icrease of the basic volume setting.

Well, the speakerphone on this thing isn't actually isn't any louder than the regular earpiece!
did anyone find a solution to this one?? I hope it's not the old change the rom to 1.12? I'm happy so far with 1.06 apart from the low front speaker volume.
Phil
i'm using 1.12 and i struggle to hear ppl as well. i ran by this app earlier today on i forgot which site that says its the ultimate hack tool. i'll browse through my histor and see if i find it and figure out if it can increase the volume.
Unfortunately it's generally considered that it's not possible to activate speakerphone programmatically, which will mean that automatically switching to speakerphone isn't going to help too much.
I tried setting up a profile to turn the volume down to a reasonable level, and then activate speakerphone and use that as the earpiece. That way the screen doesn't get sweaty and you've got better sound straight to the ear. However, some people on the other end of the line say the recieved sound isn't so great. I don't see why it should be any worse. Play around with AGC in the settings panel. Anyone else care to report on this idea?

i found the app, its tweaks2k2net unfortunately nothing with earpiece volume... and about the using the speakerphone instead, i've had ppl complain that they cant hear my clearly as well.. is the mic also bad on this phone?
guys ive seen som eposts about problems with volume but i cant find a solution for my problem
when in a call i cant adjust the volume???????
when i push up or down the volume screen appears and it moves up and down but it doesnt actually decrease or increase the volume??? any ideas please?
ive tried the system tab and also the ring tab
its really loud and quite annoying
Do you have S2U2 installed? Encountered a similar problem with this S/W installed....had to remove it unfortunately, after using it on several previous devices.....
hmm no i dont have s2u2 installed, il have to see if i installed something that caused this
anyone?????????
got the same pronblem... not sure since when. I have installed s2u2, but set it like recommended by other users who definitely CAN control the in-call-volume... got no idea... looks like a hard-reset may be necessaray... but I just don't want ang got no time... ****...
regards jan
I CAN control the volume, but it doesn't go to zero. I mean the minimum value is still high.
earpiece volume too low
i thought i'd post this here: i have found the earpiece volume during a call to be rather too low, even though i set the volume to the highest level. other aspects of the sound function seem to work nicely, loud speaker and headphones are pretty loud, but the earpiece is too damn low. any thoughts..
any idea if HD tweak can increase the earpiece volume
i found that option 3.3 acoustic setting when set to maximal increased my earpiece volume dramatically during calls. and that option 3.4 increase sound increases the ringer volume. can anyone confirm
i just got my HTC HD...my happiness knew no bounds...
but when i made calls...the world fell on me ...the ear piece volume is too low compared to other mobiles; its hardly hearable
i might be missing something...plz help me as soon as possible

could it be the simple issue that, by default, HD changes the ring volume and not the speaker volume when you press volume rocker?
you can check this and if this is your problem, do a search through the forum and you will find the registry tweak, or the volume cab to change this.
good luck!
Hi folks,
found another possible reason (but unfortunaly no solution yet) for in-call volume control not working... as this thread mainly focuses on s2u2, i've opened a new one here
regards jan
I am one of those people who listen to music mostly for background noise while I work. This means the music has to be quite low. I use ear buds to muffle out the outside noises. However this means that the lowest volume setting becomes too high. For me, most mp3 players suffered from this problem. Until I started using Rockbox firmware on my Sansa mp3 mplayer that offered 84 levels of volume control.
The Samsung Epic in comparison only offers 16 levels of volume adjustment. Is there a way to improve this volume level control? I briefly search Android Market but did not see anything relevant. May have overlooked.
I hate to be a douche, but i dont think more volume steps is all that necessary.
I use these "Sony Earbuds", they have there own inline volume controller so i can achieve practically as many steps as i can imagine (analogue adjuster)
It totally needs more volume steps. Is it specific to this phone, or does it happen on all Android phones? I've never used another Android phone, so I wouldn't know.
So I take it that no one has had success with the increasing caller volume hack in the registry? I tried editing maxincalluivolume and it will change the max number, but not the volume in general. Any one have success with this?
wrong thread, should be in the q&a section but in answer to your question there isnt any fix that im aware of. I know in europe many MP3 players had to have their volume reduced to fit in with EU laws, this is potentially the case on this ROM too...dunno, just a thought.
Yah I'm using the DFT roms release, and if I'm not in a quiet room I can't hear anything. Are the other roms the same? I'm on tmobile usa. Any info would be great.
Thanks
all the roms are the same, a few tweaks here an there but they are still pretty much identical, in answer to your question, they will all have the same issue, there is currently no way of controling all the seperate volumes. in a phone call if you press the volume buttons you can change in call volumes, at any other point its the sytem volume thats controled, there is an app for controlling the media volume however, search market place for media volume
A common issue I have had for a while is volume issues with various Roms.
Some roms have too low volume, sporatic volume issues and my current rom has a volume that just too high.
Is there any apps/hacks that can allow me how my phone reacts to in call volumes while on my headset?
Voodoo Controll, works great for adjusting media volume but not in call volume.
Thanks in advance.
I may just have to put something in my earbuds to mute the sound.
I am using my plantronic 975 and think that the volume is too low too!
Really want to adjust it

You hit the nail right on the head with this one. The only way to know how best to help you, is to know what version of Android you're running around with; then the tweaked ROM so we have a better idea.
There are a couple things you can do to adjust the incoming volume, with the most obvious using the volume while on the call, but you can also dive into the settings in the ROM itself to see if it has it's own individual tweak. Some ROMs come with an app to adjust it as well as you've seen so it's just a matter of finding that sweet spot. Keep in mind that you may have different settings for BT, headphones, speaker and regular ol' nothing.
Give us a little more info on your frustration, and I bet there's someone who's fixed the problem.
