Just wanted to see what others thought about the speakerphone. I find mine to sound not very good when turned up all the way. It is not extremely loud, and has some breakup to it.
Curious how others feel.
Thanks.
hi there..
Well I find kaiser's speaker quality awful. It needs a lot more bass, and hopefully that's a software issue. It starts crackling and distorting the sound when it's all the way up. They could have put a better speaker, it's a business phone and speakerphone is an important feature.

That speaker cant hold a candle to the Stereo Speakers found in the MDA. That's one of my biggest gripes between the two.
Anything played at full volume through it sounds pretty bad. I keep the volume down a bit on all apps to make it sound a little better.
I am going to play around with the HTC audio manager application a bit, they have some presets like "Low Treble" or "Low Bass" that will maybe clear things up a bit.
i have the same wing as my buddy, but his phone speaker when on either playing music or phone call is much more louder, has more bass than mine, is there a reason 4 this? whats the best way to improve speaker phone quality. and secondly which rom so far 4 u provides that in terms of speaker improvement. your input are highly welcome.

For the playing music part, do you guys play the same file? It could be the encoding and decoding process that different files have diffierent output levels. So test again with the same file. For the phone call, make a call (to your voice mail mabe), then turn up the volume while you're on the call. It's weird that this can only access when you're on a call. Hope this help
Have you checked to make sure the volume on the actual media player is turned up? The WMP's volume is usually on like 70% from default or something like that.
I bought my girlfriend a wing and her speaker's sound is a lot better than mine. And I've tried the same exact video and audio files.
Hi All,
I hope all is well and you are enjoying the holiday break.
I'm having trouble with my new SGN: the "In-Call" volume is too low.
When I'm on a street or in the car (anywhere with background noise), I can barely hear what a person says when I'm talking on my phone. Headset/Speaker volume is fine and they can also be further boosted by using Volume+ app from the Market but I cannot seem to find any cure for the low In-Call volume.
I did some research online and I noticed someone has posted a trick to solve similar challenge for the SGII by using Samsung Service Code (See below)
-------------------------------------------------------------
Dialer *#*#197328640#*#*
[5] AUDIO
[1] HANDSET
[1] VOLUME
[1] SRC Speech RX Volume
[5]5_lvl : 88
Menu -> Key Input
Change to any number greater than 88 (Max:100)
OK
Press back to save.
Default values:
0_lvl: 63
1_lvl: 68
2_lvl: 73
3_lvl: 78
4_lvl: 83
5_lvl: 88
---------------------------------------------------
** I tried the same trick on SGN which I purchased from Amazon but nothing happens when I select option, [5] AUDIO. It will not drill down to next set of sub-menus even if I key in the "5" from the main menu.
Please let me know if anyone else are also experiencing the similar challenges. Thank you very much for your time.
Unfortunately the sound is a big issue here.
Supercurio is working on an app to increase the vol. THis will need root and will work only on with the headset. THis app should be released in the next few days.
I was looking for a solution to increase the speaker volume ( Not quality ) as the speaker sound is low for voice calls.
There is an app called volume+ in the market. You can try it for the speaker.
Hi drgopoos,
Are you saying that you also felt In-Call Volume for SGN is way too low? I am just curious if I have a faulty unit or this issue is concerning all SGN units in general. I did try the Volume+ App from the market and it does boost the volume for Headset and External Speaker but it does nothing to the "In-Call" Volume.

Try moving the entire phone lower onto your ear. I know it sounds obvious, but the speaker is quite high on the device and my volume was low because the speaker was too high on my ear. Once I lowered it (feels awkward) it was much louder.
Anyone else felt the volume on your SGN is way too low or am I going deaf...
Can you recommend a way to remedy this problem?
I know how frustrating it can be when the earpiece speaker isn't loud enough. My nexus one had low in-call volume and it was frustrating. My Note, however, has very high in-call volume on the earpiece speaker! I have to turn it down a few notches for comfort. I'd say you might have a defective unit, or maybe you're holding it wrong like that other guy suggested.
If you're talking about the external speaker being too quiet, the one for speaker phone calls, playing music, ring tunes/notifications, etc., then I agree. I hope Supercurio's working on a fix for that. I'm currently using an equalizer from the market that allows me to turn all frequencies up a few decibels, but at the expense of sound quality.
Mine is loud enough...

The volume is ok with ear peice when i am inside the house and silent.
However outside , when i am walking in the street its to difficult.
Both indoors and outdoors my Note is one of the loudest phones i owned. I can't complain about its ear piece. In fact, i have to lower it 2-3 clicks to be comfortable
Yeah...I got the same problem also...
Indoor works great! but outdoor...oh man....
Earpiece in call volume is good. But, speakerphone in call volume is horrendous! I've tried volume+, equalizer, volume boost, AnEq Equalizer and nothing works! Very sad.
I can't access audio menu [5]. Always loopa me back to main menu. Doea anybody know how to fix that?

Even your speakerphone while in call? That is the one place I really need it because I often use speakerphone a lot while driving or just at home.

Actually, my earpiece volume is quite good. Just a suggestion, not meant to insult you, but since the phone is so large could it be possible you are not placing the earpiece properly over your ear?
For those with poor speakerphone volume the ONLY (I've tried at least 4-5) application I found that worked is Audioboost SGS2 (It's 2.5USD in the market) but that's the only one that truly raises EVERY volume. Be careful though I think there might be potential to damage your speakerphone if you raise it too high. I have it right around 88 (highest is 93)
Hope this helps!
My European version of SGN is about the loudest phone i ever had, speaker phone wise. It's also crystal clear! maybe because i was coming from Desire HD, which had kinda awful sound

I want to retract my last statement. Audioboost does raise the in-call speakerphone volume, BUT it effectively ruins everything else. It creates ALOT of static, even at middle volume levels. It was so bad I had to revert the settings and uninstall it. The search continues...
One thing that bother me a lot is volume via earpiece of phone during call on my nokia 8.does anyone know how to boost it ?
Your problem is opposite of mine. I have problem of static and and hissing noise with Nokia in-ear headphone making it unacceptable whenever I want to listen to the music or audiobooks. So I adjust the headphone jack, then it becomes better, not so much noise in the background, and the sound is much, much louder. The backdraw is that the volume control on the headphone doesn't work anymore, and the sound is still really loud in minimum volume.
I also try my other headphone, luckily it works fine. However, the sound is not as loud as it comes from the Nokia headphone even in the maximum volume.
