Is there a way to hack the in-call volume on my captivate? Sometimes its barely loud enough to hear what people are saying.
Well...aside from the great advice already given, there is a method but it does not survive a reboot.
Use sgs tools to get into service mode using secret codes, then choose 5, 1,1, 1. Adjust volume settings there.
FYI, I have noticed that Firefly 2.1 has the best earpiece volume for phone calls. I have tried numerous other roms based on JPY, JPX, JS3, but Firefly is a 2.2 based rom not 2.2.1. It still works the best and I am using it with the Glitter Balls Kernel. Had to patch the mounting fix to mount the external SD Card though. You can find it here.

I am guessing that there is something different in the codes for the I9000 based roms that is not quite compatible with our cappys whereas the Armani Rom used for Firefly is compatible. Just my two cents.
JS5 + Hardcores latest has a nice call volume.
I agree -- the volume also varies greatly based on how good or crappy the other person's phone is.
As pointed out this should be in Q&A as not android development.
Thread moved.
Does anyone know how to disable the Increasing volume ringtone, I work in a loud enviroment and I dont normally hear the phone till its to late, and I can never feel the vibrating ringer either.
So just wanting to know if there is anyway possible to have just instant max volume ringtone
Anyone?????? ;-)
What you can probably try is look for after market apps which increase the volume on your ringtone but I'm not sure if that is capable. You could try different vibrator apps which vibrates in different sequences.
Doubt if any sound managers will help..the speakers are not so great..even the vibrate is mild compared to other devices..
Don't really know what u can do..

The same problem here. After flashing DjangoManouche 1.1 - Final Release. (EXT3 Stock + 95Mb Compcache No Overclock), I have the ringtone gradually increase for a couple of seconds before it reaches the full volume. Is there a way to fix it? Some MOD or app to deal with the issue?

The solution when using stock roms is to use this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...p.disableincreasingring&feature=search_result
It works like a charm on ICS Stock or modified. :good:
Use kowalski kernel and there you can increase more the speaker volume and the headphone volume than the stock is
you may also use alsa mixer from the Android market, with kowalski kernel works great
I have best volume now with dm 1.5 and kowalski kernel :good:

I just noticed, when I first installed a customized ROM, there is a DSP Manager which boost the bass of the sound/music. But after testing 3 different customized ROM, all with DSP Manager, they differ in sound quality. The last costumized ROM I have used is the loudest. Is this because of a program/module that was included on the customized ROM? Will this affect or break the speaker of the phone?

X8 white/blue
Stornmix V2.2 with stock Kernel
16GB Micro SD
It may have something to do with x loud but dont think it would break the speaker as I used to make my k800 go stupidly loud and the speaker never broke just used to get fuzzy on full volume

Before my latest customized ROM, i used to set the volume to max level. But now, i have to adjust it to at least 3/4 of the volume since it was too loud already (using an earphone) and it now vibrates my ear due to too much loudliness. On top of that, there is no Xloud feature present on my Stornmix ROM. Hmm...
Ok, I hope someone who is experienced in these things can help. Since the Milestone 1 (Droid 1) was the loudest device I ever had, and the Milestone 2 and Droid 3 have a very low volume I was searching for months now, how to finally raise the volume beyond 100%.
Ok, I installed Alsa Mixer from the market, so I got alsa_amixer, and alsa_ctl.
I found out, that STDac was the value to modify (between 0 and 15) to really, physically control the speaker volume.
The best setting for me was: alsa_amixer set "STDac" 13
It works great BUT (!) although I save these settings with "alsa_ctl store" and prove that it was stored by restoring the settings "alsa_ctl restore", Motorla's firmware is RESETTING their own settings back after music playback is paused.
Can anyone help me find out WHERE these settings are and how I can permanently set a higher volume level?
THANKS in advance, I really hope that someone can help me.
When you get this figured out definitely post it. This is a annoying problem how quiet the phones are

Just use poweramp. It's one of the best players out there anyway
I doubt it's just music playing that causes the lowered volume, and finding where moto sets it's default volume could help those on CM7 who suffer from randomly inaudible alerts/ringtones too.
So far that CM7 issue has been blamed on bluetooth, but even with all BT packages and kernel modules uninstalled/disabled, it still happens.
A better understanding of motos volume voodoo would really help in tracing a lot of weird volume events on these phones.

I won't thanks . It's not about equalizer, it's about getting the speaker louder than 100% (btw. it's maxed at 75%!).

I'm not talking about equalizer. You can increase the volume with poweramp above 100%

When does the reset occur? Is it on reboot and/or could be managed with a script once at boot or something? Not a solution but maybe there's an easy work-around to use our values for volume.
As soon as audio playback stops, the volume level is beeing resetted. "alsa_ctl restore" brings back the custom volume level..
what about volume + ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.TEST.android.lvh)

Thanks. I tried it before but this app does not really make the speaker louder.
Volume + works great on my droid 3. Really loud now.

Problem is if its built from moto source or built up from a stripped moto release chances are it contains whatever script or code is causing the volume to be reset. Is it the same on ics? Any check the volume levels on reboot with alsa_mixer on ics by any chance? Since no official moto ics release is around there are better odds that the code isnt in hash' releases i would imagine. Odd that its being executed every time playback stops
@daimerion NO it's NOT louder, I just tried it the second time, with no refund... The volume level is still limited. Please try Alsa Mixer and set STDac to 13, THEN you will see what I mean!
But its not permanent, and thats why I am looking for a solution. Everyone, please try Alsa Mixer, set STDac value to 13 (max: 15).
The app works just as u described it seems to survive reboots so far I've had to reset it twice cabt tell what makes it switch back but thanks for the heads io on the app nonetheless

Ok now it won't stick for nothing. Resets every chance it can get. I really hope somebody with actual experience looks into this and can get a fix cause having a phone with the volume stuck at 75% kinda blows

Try using log at then using also mixer and see if it says what resets it?

Thanks, already tried that, but I found nothing. Months ago I was reading a post, that Motorola modified ALSA so that the could make HDMI working. I don't know (because I'm not experienced enough) if this could be the reason...
Are there no source files for the Droid 3, so that someone can compile a modified version of libaudio?
Its not a moto things. Its android. Im using aokp ics and its still going back from 15 to 11. I dont think its the system. A toast message popped up saying alsa has been granted superuser and then it went back to 11

Thanks for this clarification. I'm not a developer unfortunately. Really, there has to be a developer out there, who can do that. I'd even donate for that. It's really important for me, as my ears are not the best.
really disappointed with volume ,help me how to boost it
i am (ics lpf rooted + speed mod kernel)
i know that:
1-voodoo not supported to speedmod kernel
2-ics > GB With about 7 db
but ics not fair enough for loud sound
what the latest app or kernel which help me get my ring and music sound louder????
but didnt harm or damage our speakers as i tried some boosters at my old xperia x2 which damaged one of my speakers ( i need a soft boost not hardware boost ) as i think
Get speedmod and install voodoo louder need root for that
Also note is big so chance you cover speaker or dont place your ear properly on it is also higher.
