[Q] Loudness of Speaker phone? - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have been trying multiple roms with multiple combinations of kernels and cannot seem to get this right.
I have an unlocked Rogers i896 Captivate currently running Andromeda 1.2 with Suckerpunch #50. When I put calls on speakerphone, the voice and the ringing tone are abysmally quiet. On the other hand, when the call ends/disconnects and gives you the "end call" tone, its as loud as it should be.
So my question is:
1) How do I fix it? (I have tried Speedmod to no avail)
2) Could it be my Carrier? I am on the Telus network. If anyone is in the same situation, let me know
Thanks in advance

Hi, running serendipity 5.11 and I am getting the same issue as you, I can barely hear anything on my speakerphone >,<

Download from the market a program called SamServiceMode.
Click on the audio
Click on Speaker (or handset)
Click on Volume
Click on SRC Speech RX Volume
Change # 5 which defaults on either 88 or 92 to 100 which is the max.

BTW,
This does not survive a reboot. You will have to do it again......

i can tell u this : Speedmode kernel works like a charm! the in call volume raised
allmost 30% but PP'L complaining that the sound is not natural "noisy" or not "clean"...

[Q] Speakerphone/Earpiece Quiet after CWM

HI All,
I've noticed for some time now that before I flash a new ROM, when I go back to stock JF6 the audio in the boot up screen will blow your doors off. After flashing CWM, the audio is there but it is must less pronounced. I've also noticed that while using the speakerphone or the earpiece during regular calls, I struggle to hear the caller on the other end. It's fine before I flash CWM.
Anyone run into this before and if so, what can be done about it?
Thanks in advance!
Dan
I too have been wondering about the volume. I thought it was the rom I was running. I'm currently on phoenix 4.5 with firebird 2 v0.7 kernel. It seems like my volume is lower when I call another cell but fine if I call a land line.

i noticed this too. i use speakerphone alot, and it IS quieter now i use custom roms, and i use speakerphone MORE NOW because the earpeice is hard to hear.
Fix for Low Ear Peice abd Speaker Volume
I am not a programmer but I was wondering with all the talent on this site why is it impossible to have a fix for the terrible in-call volume the Captivate has. I have tried the settings in the service menus, but havent seen anything worth while.
Non of those settings stay past a reboot anyway.
The phones hardware is able to output the louder sound, I dont understand why we cant fix the low in-call volume on the earpeice and the speaker phone?
HELP!!!!!!
this post beat you by a few hours and is a little more specific/accurately worded (your post isnt a fix)

Thread merged with a similar one. I think the poster above U is asking a question (interrogative icon) and not stating he is posting a fix.
Cheers,
I noticed that it's CWM that is killing the audio (for me at least) before I flash a new ROM.

[Q] Galaxy Note's In-Call Volume is Too Low!!!

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.
-JC
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...

Use ''Equalizer'' from the market place, this is the solution to boost volume.
i can't download it from market cause it says that my country is not qualified to install or download it
so can you please provide a link for it to download and install directly?

I'm not kidding, are you sure holding the phone correctly? It is not easy to put the upper speaker right on your ear since the phone is so large. Personally experienced.

Strange sound problem help.
Whenever i get a call the sound is so low i an hardly hear it. Suddenly while in the call a minute or so later the sound becomes clear and i now can hear clearly. This problem does not occur if i call up the same number. I have checked with equalizer, volume boost and others but the result is the same. I use total recall to auto record all calls could this be the culprit. The recordings are however clear both in speaker mode and headphones.

Galaxy Ace In call volume

Hey all
Been looking for at least a couple of weeks how to boost the incall volume especially on the hands free speaker of the samsung galaxy ace.
Finally figured it out and thought to share it here just in case people are trying to do the same!
on CM7 7.2.0 RC3 here so not sure if it works on other ROMs.
on the service menu (accessed with *#*#197328640#*#*)
For incall volume boost on headset:
[5]Audio
[1]Handset
[2]Rx Value
[1]Rx Codec/Volume
[1]Rx Codec Gain - click on this and input FFFF which is 12db. (I guess you can try different settings-but this worked for me)
For incall volume boost on the speaker (which bugged me for a while )
[5]Audio
[3]Speaker
[7]MP3/Not Mp3 Mode (so that on top of menu says Mp3 Speaker)
[2]Rx Value
[1]Rx Codec/Volume
[1]Rx Codec Gain - click on this and input FFFF which is 12db.
I can hear the other person on the phone now when im driving and I have em on speaker, maybe you can get it even louder, but Im a bit worried ill fry the speaker!
Im an android virgin so cant help any1 any further just thought to post this for people having the same issue with me! try this at your own risk!!
Finally thanks
Now i can hear people
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium
why won't you just install volume +? it's much easier and safer.. just a thought tho..
i did try the volume +
it seemed to only boost the music player volume.
the incall setting function didnt do anything
Works well!!
Can i also increase the Headset MP3 value so that my music through Headphones is louder?? I'm not trying it because i don't know if it will cause any harm..
ill try this thanks
the speaker volume doesnt seem to be much louder. it worked well for the handset and headset.
Any ideas?

? any other suggestions
I really need help please tell me something
you could try shouting lol
Probably above needs some more testing.
If you have the issue with all people then warrantee maybe? It might be just one. Maybe they aren't holding phone right. Speaker wrong end or not in ear lol.
You can try setting option noice cancellation in dialer off. It might help.

Anyway noise reduction already off. The menu which is mentioned as a setting to set the mic volume, is not shown on my rom. If there is another way to increase the mic volume (from CWM by installing a zip file etc.) i want to know. Just it.
How can i increase the Mic volume? Is there any mod? do not tell me the "*#*#197328640#*#*" thing... It doesnt work for me. Yes the Menu is opening but i cant enter the [5]AUDIO section... Is there any other mods? for ex. Flashing through CWM etc?

I type in this code on Note N7100 and hit the call button, tell's me invalid code? any ideas?
Amazing...
Just thought I'd check in tonite and see what's going on with my favorite problem... namely, crappy audio and Mic-gain on the Note2... the "flagship" (At least at one fleeting moment) of the Samsung Fleet. LOL.
Reading the bogus information about kernels (which are only for the "Oh, Wow" and "Far Out" crowd with underclocking and overclocking and a combo of undervolting and overvolting and all combinations in between, nobody had an answer. Hah!
Well... believe it or not, I still have my N7100, and rooted on stock 4.4.2 (the late and great last rom from Sham-sung) and I fixed my audio problem a long time ago... after buying all of the "Pro" apps that were supposed to "cure" the audio problems.
Not ONE of them actually cured anything, but actually created a ton of other problems like caller's voices echoing back at them while talking to me.
I guess that's "technology" for 'ya... give it enough time, and all things are swept under the rug... with the new phones having all the same problems and still no answers or cures for the problem at hand.
As an aside... does anybody here remember the film, Mommy Dearest?
Remember that scene where Joan Crawford freaks out over wire coat hangers and beats the crap outta her daughter for having them in her closet?
That's the way I am now with rear-facing speakers.
No more low-volume crap with rear-facing speakers and multiple microphones for regular calls or speaker phone.
Nope, no way.
Anyway, long story short... there's another thread about Mic-Gain on this site that actually made it so that if I use Speakerphone, the other person can actually hear me.
Unfortunately, everybody in Wal-Mart can hear my convo over the rear facing speaker.
Register 21 is now open.
i have the same problem, i cant find the file
The Solution
Hello i have THE solution!!!! I'm sorry my rusty english but this is it.
You must to download (es file manager) your device must be rooted go to device - system - etc and open default_gain.conf must to change value of (IN1L Volume) in there has a value in number maybe 20 or less my 1st falue change is 40 but is verry loud i recomend a value 35 but is up to you and your device my device is Galaxy note 2 n7100 and i lost 2 days breaking my head and google it but i found the solucion i hope is good for all of you
