Can you make In-call Volume louder?? - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I have hearing loss and some times I have a difficulty hearing people on the other line and I was wondering if there was was a way to make the volume louder than stock??
Thanks, any help is greatly appreciated
Sent from my GT-I897 using XDA App

Nothing?? :/

I know two ways to do that: First method which I use all the time on gb and there is also this second method which for me it doesn't work cuz Galaxy tuner app is FC over on gb but I remember that back in froyo days it used to work just fine. Cheers

I tried the first method is it supposed to be a big difference i put it on 99...???

Results may vary,as u'll find it in the thread I linkend u those methods from,for some it made a big and for others no difference at all. For me it does, it's a notable change but I have it on 100.
Also try out different modems, some ppl reported better results after switching. I'm on kc1but ur phone and ur location might like a different one.

This is usually a kernal tweak or a .prop tweak. I use Sgs.Tools for .Prop tweaks. Make a nandroid befforehand

low volume earpiece

hi yall
having trouble with the earpiece the volume is too low
is there any fix for it?
thanks
earpiece?
are you talking about the phone or using audio out via headphones?
Are you on stock our custom rom
while im a call i can bearly hear anything the volume is too low
im not using headphones or BT.
i moved from the stock to the Preception 10.4 but the volume remains the same...
Try hardcore kernel, and or different modem.
Had same issue on first release of andromeda
i have great reception im afraid to lose it..
before i upgraded to Preception 10.4 i had Cognition 3.04 with lilke 7~10
diffrent modems but the same issue.
also with the stock i had trouble with the low volume during a call...
PLS HELP!
I don't know what country your in. So I don't know what modem to recommend. Israel?
Israel it is
i have great reception and even greater satellite reception (11\11 amazing!) i dont want to lose it :|
the only problem is the low volume during calls that's it...
thanks guys for all your help though
my "Modem" is I9000UGJK4
Since you're already using JK4, try KP1 modem. CWM flashable. Links provided. Just keep trying different modems. Probably should write down you apn settings too.

howcome we dont have HAC (Hearing Aid Compatible) in our Captivate??
On the Market there is a program called SamServiceMode. Load it then go to option 5(audio), then 1(handset), then 1(volume), then 1(SRCSpeech RX Volume.
Option # 5 is defaulted to 92. Raise it to 100(max)
This should help. At least it did for me.
Running di11gaf v6.0
SuckerPunch-SmR #48
BTW this program also makes it very easy to switch to GSM instead of 3G if like me you are in a fringe 3G area it sucks my battery very quickly. Switch to GSM only and I can go for 35+ hrs and still have 40% left......
Good Luck!
im also using 2G network ill tryout your suggetion
is it holding a reboot?
bout the battery life mine suXAss..
---------------------------------------------
its that script of the service mode...
No it does not hold at reboot but I have found that I do not have any reason now to reboot more than once a week, if that.
SuckerPunch kernel seems to be the match for my phone setup. I am experimenting right now on my other Cappy with Supernova 2.3 and SuckerPunch # 50 to see what Battery life I end up with also...

The earpiece volume is a kernel "issue". Speedmod and SuckerPunch are two kernels that have addressed this. Hope to have Andromeda kernel fixed shortly as well.
is there any way to edit this Kernel? or edit the modem?
y the cooker of the roms\kernel cant raise the volume? (im not complaining on there great job they doing,honet)

[Q] Poor Sound Quality

This would fall under the don't fix something thats not broke category.
Sound quality was great on my phone with 2.3.3 JVK, but after reading the great reviews on Voodoo sound, I was interested in seeing how much better it could get. After flashing the Voodoo sound driver (came with voodoo control plus 1.0.5) any sound through multiple types of headsets is distorted and almost sounds like the volume is automatically limited (Any high notes or low bass is either completely cut off, or the volume limits when the note hits). Sound quality after this flash is horrible to unusable. The odd thing is that even if I unload the voodoo driver, the sound is still awful. ANY help at all would be greatly appreciated!!
**EDIT** Just to add, I have tested the volume levels to make sure they were not to high in the application. The distortion/limiting happens even if set to a very low volume.
Phone Info:
Model:Samsung Galaxy S i9000m Vibrant
Firmware Version:2.3.3
Baseband Version:I9000UGKC1
Kernel Version:2.6.35.7-I9000XXJVK-CL75655\[email protected] #2
Build Number:GINGERBREAD.XXJVK
Clockwork Recovery v3.0.0.5
CWM Manager v1.20
Superuser v2.3.1-ef
Softkey Backlight Fix
CRT-OFF Animation Mod
All was good before flashing voodoo sound.
How are you controlling your volume?
The best results, will be to max out the phone media volume completely.
Go into Voodoo Sound control and tick "map volume kies hack" and the volume will be controlled by that.

Firstly, when did you buy Voodoo Control Plus? Cos 1.0.5 is an old version the current version is version 2.0 Beta2-4.
Secondly, what did you flash? All you need for Voodoo Control Plus is root, it loads the module on reboot. Did you reboot after unloading the driver?
I'm running the current version on JVB with no problems and I've previously flashed the Voodoo soundmod kernels on three other phones (Froyo) and they all sounded amazing afterwards.

When you use Voodoo Control Plus you're not flashing anything! All it does is load a module, which is the reason it needs root btw. No need to reboot either. If that doesn't work for whatever reason, you can just unload the module again.
Conclusion: Either you made a mistake or you're a troll. Did you try to use the VCP module with a kernel that has (an older version of) Voodoo compiled in by any chance?
ok.....slow down guys. Noob-Yes, Troll? not likely. Heres the thing, I cannot remember what I used to get this on my phone. The one thing I can tell you is it came from somewheres on xda. Also, I have maxed out the phone volume, and enabled the Keys hack. No difference. Even if I un-load the module, the sound improves "slightly" but is still "volume limited" somehow. The only way I can explain it, is if the song has a loud part, the phone seems to automatically limit the volume, also all low range (bass) audio seems to be missing from any song regardless of weather the module is loaded or what audio settings are enabled.
You know the best way you guys could help me out? Tell me if it is safe to upgrade to the newest gingerbread. The reason I ask this is:
1.I have installed the "new" bootloaders from the JVK 2.3.3 (I believe stock) rom, but then I have the clockwork mod on top of that and the phone is rooted, also flashed the softkey fix and the crt off animation. ALSO, i had to flash the BELL KC1 modem to get the 850mhz band to work here in cape breton. I just need to know what needs to be done to make it safe to flash the newest stock firmware.
2.I just want to rid the phone of the voodoo mod and stay as far away from it as I can. I'm thinking flashing the newest firmware will help me do this.
3. I have searched multiple topics and I am just having a hard time getting a stright answer on what needs to be un-modded/removed/etc to make it safe to upgrade.
I really didn't mean to come off as a "troll".

I don't think anyone can help you without knowing what you did to your phone and what's on it right now. The only solution I can see would be a factory reset and a full (including bootloaders) stock 2.2.1 ROM flashed via Odin. Then you at least have a known-good baseline configuration and can go from there.

You don't have a clue about what you're doing, that's fine. Do a little reading and all will be well. But there's no need to blame Voodoo (or any other mod).
I think you might have took this whole thing the wrong way. This is why I don't ask many questions and only have input if I think it will help. Sorry to have affended anyone. I wasn't blaming voodoo at all, I was just saying that all was fine before I installed it. It IS most likely my mistake. Thanks to "those" that helped. I'm just going to re-flash 2.3.3 JVK stock, as I know it worked before. I only started the thread to see if anyone ran into the same thing or had any better ideas than reflashing.
Also to those that questioned, the voodoo mod was the only thing I did to my phone that I didn't fully research before implementing. I'll take this as a lesson.
Hi!
What is your transaction number, for Voodoo Control Plus?
I have no idea, it was all in one thing that I found on a forum which probaly wasn't the best thing to do. I reflashed the phone to froyo and then back to 2.3.3 and without any mod's the sound works great. I would say this had nothing to do with voodoo, and 100% me not researching how to install it.

Okay so please send me the link to what you found with a pirate version of Voodoo Control Plus.
I'm not sure of the link it was a while ago. Had I of known it was pirated I wouldn't have used it. I was looking for something to make the line out louder and came across a zip-file while doing some random googling. Had I of known where I got it I would have posted it in the first post. Listen, I'd be more than happy to pay for software, and have many times.
Cool, you'll find the latest version on Android market.
Ok, I see the one on Android market, Is there anything I have to do besides root the device again to have it work properly? It has been completely factory reset and reflashed to 2.3.3 JVK so there shouldn't be any reminants from whatever I installed last time.

Couple of things

after updating my wifes galaxy mini to 2.3.6 i noticed her volume on various parts like notification and system sounds are very low end with volume fully up, i have looked around but just like most users with the mini its a problem, will the ics port have a volume fix for this or will the devs work their magic on it.
also when flashed i tried to new a newer rom on for her but cwm looked zoomed and wouldnt let me scroll any further than the 4th line of what was displayed, anyone else had this problem
I'm afraid that you should look for the right version of your CWM recovery
And also try to check in sound settings about volume and in cm settings that the same is in level ^_^
And the thing about ICS port it will take time
Squady is working on it and i don't think there should be any prob related to volume in gb.
IF I HELPED YOU PLS. CONSIDER THANKING ME.

I think he spoke about a stock 2.3.6 rom. And he is right. Seems like that rom have got a notifications sound issue. All custom roms that look like stock rom basing on 2.3.6 have got the same issue.
At the moment i am on cm7rc5.3 and sound there is fine. Tested with 2 equal tones.

Call volume very low - fixes?

Current info:
N1 from Jan 2010.
2.3.4
kernel 2.6.37.6-cyanogenmod-01505-g81b03a8 [email protected]#1
CyanogenMod-7.1.0-RC1-N1
I'm not sure if I've uninstalled something but the in call volume has got so low I can barely make out people in conversations. The volume up/down is maxed but its still not loud enough.
Do you experienced people think this is caused by a physical fault, me removing/stopping some previous volume boosting service integrated to the ROM, or is there any form of fix? I've tried the basic applications on the market but they crash as soon as a call starts.
Thanks!

Try to flash a standalone kernel. Look for it in the development thread.
Thanks.
I flashed to 7.2.0 which gave me a fresh kernel. Call volume seems a bit louder but not much and could still do with more :/
I had identical issue with my N1 running CM7.2 RC2, in-call volume just way too low. Resolved by flashing the latest Tiamat N1 kernel. The one I tried was Tiamat_N1-v4.1.0 and you can download from tiamat-dev.com
Do a nandroid backup first so you can backout if something isn't right.

Solved, thanks ^_^
Wish I'd found it before my 3 phone interviews at Google, luckily I got the job anyway
After messing around with the millions of apps claiming to boost volume, finally found this forum post and updated my kernel to fix the issue. Even Volume+ app support section admits they can't make any changes to in call volume because of kernel limitations.
I was confused with kernel to use from intersectRaven but had great success with the Tiamat kernel posted above.

Vivid ROMs and in-call volume issues

I'm doing research for a friend's phone. He has the AT&T HTC Vivid. My old phone actually. I have yet to root it or do any of the dirty work as I am concerned with the stability and flaws in ROMs for this device. A little advice would be appreciated.
I have read about the Dirty Unicorn ROM with the Pac kernel (or since updated stock kernel). They say the volume is fixed in this ROM. Can anyone confirm?
Also would like to know of other ROMs and what is available out there through others advice. I want to find him stable as he cannot be flashing daily the way I can. I have seen lots of bluetooth issues called out. I am more concerned with stability, call volume, and definitely good data/wifi. Someone point me in the right direction perhaps?
I would love to see Sense gain more support for this device, but I'm not a dev so I'm sure it's no easy task. I have used CM alot in the past, and loved most of it, but it always had its bugs so I hesitate to flash without gathering information.
Thanks guys.

No DU just fixes The volume increase decrease while in a call
If you care about in call volume try a sense 4.1 rom or a sense 3.6 rom
Ok. I knew that answer was coming. How bad is the volume thing? My main goal is just to not have to flash his phone 100 times. If it was my phone, as I already do.. I would flash and play with it for weeks before I chose a ROM. It's not an ideal option for this, though. I don't even want mess with internals if it's not for a clear upgrade.
Is there ongoing work in your CM builds to figure out these in-call volume issues?

It's always going to be work. and for me my volume is just fine. In call works loud enough for me. But everyone has their own preferences. Other people cant use the roms due to the volume issue
To answer your question... I would put CM10.1 from albinoman... Prolly the most stable we gots

I have an AT&T Vivid, and have had varied results in this department. Though, I work in a server room/data center, so I have more ambient noise to contend with, but I've experienced horridly low volume on some builds all the way to just less that stock quality. The first ROM I experienced this on was a Sense 4.1 ROM, but also experienced it in different ways with aosp/aokp builds as well. I don't know if it is related, but I did notice a significant increase in the in call volume after performing the S-OFF wire trick. Though that could just be a coincidence. But one common theme I have found, is when the in call volume has been low, don't even attempt speakerphone use. As when I did, it either didn't work at all (or so low it's inaudible) and then when returning to the earpiece, 6/10 times (guesstimate) the issue of no volume followed for the duration of the call. And the odds would increase when activating speaker before the call is answered on the other end (making calls). However, I must say that I the in call volume using bilibox's unofficial rootbox, I do not experience the low in call volume, but the speakerphone is (mostly) useless. (Still an awesome ROM though, just waiting for mobile data fix )
Not sure if my ramble is helpful or not, but those are summed up experiences I've had thus far. If you really just want it to work without goofing with anything, I 'd recommend either a rooted/modified/de-bloated stock ROM.
There's my 2 cents {plunk plunk}
