In call volume too loud

Is there any program to reduce the in call ear piece volume. I have to keep the phone at least 20 cm away from my ear during the call even the volume is minimized.
There is a bug report about this problem. I was just wondering does anybody know any program or solution to this problem, because there is nothing happening about the official bug report.

uhmmm, turn the volume down ??

i have the same problem. with CMs rom the in call volume dont seem to work

Same here with CyanogenMod...

About those buttons: apple earphones send different button codes than the typical android earphones if we can find out those button codes we can create a function for them in android!

Yes imo
Because when you will see the 4.3 update you will observe that the current existenz rom and 4.3 are almost the same.niaboc79 has done a great job..so for me using existenz is lyk using 4.3

Hi everyone!
I'm not sure if this is apropriate place to ask for it, but I have similar issue - few days ago I flashed CM11 on my Xperia SP and from that moment I can't use buttons on my earphones to change volume and/or skip songs. On stock ROM everything worked well. Now on CM11 each button works like "enter" in PC. Buttons on the unit works well (skipping, changing the volume).
Thank you in advance for any help.

Looks great but how can I check what codes are assigned to buttons in my earphones? I saw somwhere that it is the way to "decode" buttons (by some kind of application I think), but I don't know it for sure. Can you help me?

No no, you don't have to decode that or some sort! Just edit the lines, exactly similar to the post and you're done!

My english is not so good as I want, so I'm making "shortcuts" here and there
I wrote about decoding because solution describing only one key. My earphones have three (answer button, vol+, vol-).
On stock ROM JB, Play Music and Sony Walkman app worked well with these buttons. When display was off I could start/stop music (with answer button) change the volume (short pressing vol+/-) and skip songs (long pressing vol+/-).
That solution allows me to start/stop songs using the answer button. If I could "read" codes of the vol+/- buttons on my earphones I could bind them with proper functions (changing the volume and/or skipping songs).
Maybe you know that codes?

Ok - there is "Key test" option in CWM. That's the results:
Unit:
vol+ 114
vol- 115
shutter 766
Headset
talk 256
vol+ 257
vol- 258
I made some changes in Generic.kl to assign exactly the same functions as in unit to headset buttons, and it WORKS
I can change the volume and start/stop the music. I can also skip the tracks by holding volume buttons on the earphones. :victory:
...
key 256 HEADSETHOOK
key 257 VOLUME_UP
key 258 VOLUME_DOWN

[Q] In call volume is very low in cm11

After a quick search I've found that a lot of other people are experiencing the same problem on other phones. I opened this thread because no one has reported this problem yet on a LG p880.
I've flashed the latest cm11 nightly and will continue to do so every day. The version I am running now is 11-20140115-NIGHTLY-p880.
After a clean restart outgoing calls work normally. After a couple of outgoing calls in call volume drops dramatically (I can barely hear the ringing tone before the other person picks up and then I can barely hear the other person talk). Incoming calls work normally. The problem continues until I restart my phone or I get an incoming call. Then the same happens all over again, first two - three calls work normally then in call volume drops.
I've tried making calls with and without a Bluetooth device and with and without the stock dialer. I've also tried merging calls and putting calls on hold after I call but the volume problem persists until I restart the phone or I receive an incoming call.
I will continue to update this thread as I flash nightly updates daily.
Thanks for your help

Problem persists
I installed version 11-20140116-NIGHTLY-p880. Problem persists.

I have a workaround for this. When you start feeling that the volume is low, I first press the vol down button few times and then press the vol up button multiple times till I hear the voice properly.
Let me know if it works for you. But definitely this is a problem for all of us.

Hi and thanks for the reply. Tried to do what you described but it didn't work for me. Maybe I am doing something wrong. When the problem appears its even before the other person picks up so I can hear the ringing tone at a really low volume. I tried turning the volume down a bit and then turning it all the way up like you said but no luck...
I am now downloading the latest cm11 nightly, I hope this will be fixed soon.

Just installed 11-20140118-NIGHTLY-p880. In call volume problem is still there.
Sent from my LG-P880 using xda app-developers app

Installed 11-20140120-NIGHTLY-p880. Problem is still there. The only workaround that works for me so far is calling myself. After the busy message I get, in call volume is fine again for two - three calls. Then the same thing happens all over again.

Flashed cm-11-20140121-NIGHTLY-p880. Problem still there.
Any workarounds anyone?

Flashed cm-11-20140122-NIGHTLY-p880. There is improvement worth mentioning. As soon as the new rom booted up I went to check the in call volume with outgoing calls. The third continuous call I made had really low in call volume so I was immediately disappointed. Then I made another call and in call volume was back to normal, something that would not happen in previous roms. Then I made another 5 calls and on the 6th the volume was low again. Since then though every call I've made has normal in call volume (one day / 20 calls).
This was a huge improvement. Will flash cm-11-20140123-NIGHTLY-p880 and see how it goes.

Flashed cm-11-20140123-NIGHTLY-p880 and then cm-11-20140124-NIGHTLY-p880. With the latter I've made numerous outgoing calls and I've only had low in call volume once. I'd say the cm developers have found whats wring and are slowly fixing it.

I've tried a workaround using sony xloud.It is known to increase in call volume.Works fine so far, pretty sure it increased mine.It also has clear audio, which is supposed to reduce noise when volume is too loud. (tested on latest nightly)
Make sure you thank the OP in this thread.I could never download that ZIP via pimpmyrom app, guess the servers are down.
Also make sure you thank this member for creating the flashable zip & wonderful app
Installation instructions :
Flash the zip via recovery, wipe dalvik cache and reboot.

Thank you for your reply. The latest rom I've flashed is cm-11-20140215-NIGHTLY and it works fine. There have not been any occurrences where in call volume was low, with or without Bluetooth..
Thank you all for your help, I consider this problem solved for the p880.

The problem is not solved. It is back with vengeance since the beginning of July. I have not gone back to a June build to check if it works.
Any workarounds please.

Try this: During a call, turn the volume down one click and then back up.

issue: loud speaker volume during calls

Hi there, newbie here at the xda forum.
tried to find similar post for i9305 but couldn't, so here we go.
using S3 i9305, OmniRom nightly since "omni-4.4.2-20140312-i9305-NIGHTLY" until "omni-4.4.2-20140318-i9305-NIGHTLY"....
please note I've treid "omni-4.4.2-20140320-i9305-NIGHTLY" too, but it was rebooting every 2 or 3 minutes constantly, I downgraded to March 18th nightly again..... and so far no solution to this issue:
during incoming or outgoing calls, I turn on the loud speaker function and try to increase volume.
when pressing volume up button, I noticed the volume bar goes all the way up, but the increase is not noticeable/audible from the middle of the bar and beyond.
if I lower the volume from top to down I can't hear any noticeable decrease in volume until the volume bar reaches the middle of the volume bar itself .... below that the decrease is noticeable.
so, the volume bar seems to be correctly applying increases and decreases to the actual sound you hear if you go from the lowest to the middle of the volume bar.
above the middle of the volume bar, the changes are only visual on the volume bar.... nothing on the actual loud speaker volume is noticeable/audible.
I know that this loud speaker is capable of much more than this... MUSIC PLAYS FINE at higher volume levels, so, it's not an issue with the speaker or general phone configurations. the increases and decreases to media, ringtones, notifications, are JUST FINE as well.
seems to me it is a bug.
can somebody confirm and help me report this bug correctly.
thanks!

Hey.
But this happends only on OMNI? Situation looks the same with regular Samsung ROM?

Yes, only on Omni.
I had stock working fine since purchase.
Rooted and flashed Cyanogen 10.1 ... Used for a while and loudspeaker worked fine as well.
Been using Omni for 2 weeks or so.

Well. Since it's nightly only thing you can do it's to contact developer and report bug founded. It's a nightly so this can happen.

It's the same with me. The ROM is spectacular. Without it, it would undoubtedly be the best. People how do I report this bug? Greetings

[Q] How to increase speaker volume in cm11 xperia sp

I have install cm11 from "http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=huashan( cm-11-20140824-NIGHTLY-huashan.zip )" Overall rom works fine but the only issue i am facing is low speaker volume, volume has decrease almost 50% from stock rom or any other rom. Searched a lot but did not find any help, anyone else has face this issue and come with a solution. Help me regarding this issue.

Your exact same question has been asked several times. I can't image you searched allot...
Even a Google search gives you the answer straight away: https://www.google.com/webhp?source...&ie=UTF-8#q=xperia+sp+low+volume+cm11&spell=1

I have looked in that thread but its not working for me.. thats why i posted it here

Nope iam on unlock bootloader, the only fix i have found till now is go to settings->performance->processor->set minimum cpu frequency to 487MHz increases sound little bit

Download the latest CM11 release.
You're most likely still on an old version which had an experimental fix for the rear mic bug.
This is what's causing the echo. For now the rear mic has been disabled. (Only needed for filming videos, so not a big deal for most people)

Then use the fix I have already presented in numerous other threads... Install Williams kernel for CM (v3.0 was the most stable one) and use Fauxsound to boost your volume. IT WORKS.
