I am finding the earpiece volume when listening to anyone really low even at full volume.
Is this a common problem?
Thanks.

I don't have a problem. One thing I'd suggest trying is to shift the phone around against your ear. It's possible that the earpiece speaker isn't lining up with your ear just right...
Not to be that guy but a simple search for volume brings up multiple threads of the same issue. Known problem for some.

When Im at work and its quiet I need a really low volume on the ear piece in order to maintain the privacy of the call. Im finding that the diamond volume level during a call isnt low enough...is there a reg tweak somehow that I can set the lowest volume even lower than it currently is? I know its odd as everyone seems to be asking for louder!! hahahaha
I think most of us wanting louder is for calling without the headset

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?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA App
Mine is loud and clear..better than all the other devices i had

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.
the volume its great for me

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...
Just got the Z3 Compact from eBay. Brand new D5803 on AT &T. Notice very, very low call volume. Anyone else notice? Any Apps that can help increase volume? I searched but don't see any other posts about this.
Thanks all.
I've found the in call volume outstanding. But speakerphone vol is poor. UK spec. Anyway to boost speakerphone vol?
Thanks techguyone! I realized I had a bad screen protector blocking a portion of the speaker...I will test the external speaker and see if I can find any info or apps that help increase external speaker volume. Thanks again for your reply

Were you able to solve the incall volume issue. I have the same phone and the incall volume is so low, it is absurd. I talked to support and they gave me instructions to reinstall the operating syustem. It was a wast of time as the incall volume is still the same.

Faulty phone? I'm on .77 firmware and sometimes the incall volume is so loud, that my ears bleed :laugh:
Hi, I just got my Nexus 6 that I purchased from eBay, everything is ok but the call volume, while it's pretty clear, I think it's too low compared to other phones, I'm not sure if I'm crazy or someone else has noticed that? I tried the speakers for music and they are loud, again, it might just me, but I wanted to double check if someone has noticed that, and if it's something normal for this phone, thanks!

Try this.
1. Make sure the system volume is all the way up as well as the phone earpiece volume.
Get an app the controls all volumes and you'll see it there along with media , alarm etc.
This happened to me but once i raised system and phone it was fine.
Also note that you must practice placing ear in perfect earpiece speaker position lol.
Let me know if it worked that was my problem.

Ditto. My phone volume way too low for in call - either with built-in earpiece or a wired headset.
Nothing I've found brings it up.
Speakers for media/notification is very good&loud, but speaker for in-call (using as a true speakerphone, not trying to use speakerphone mode as earpiece) and ringing is inadequate.

Believe that with update to 5.01 that is going to fix the problem, hope so, I believe that I read it somewhere. I really want to know what are all the fixes for the new version 5.01
BTW, I have Volume Ace download it from play store and see if you got all volume up
Good luck !
Speakers are great for music or gaming but in call volume is quiet. both the speaker phone and the earpiece volume are too quiet for my liking. Is there any way to make them louder?
im also searching for solution...incall volume is so low
Really nothing? Earpiece and speaker phone call volume is so quiet when listening to Media or gaming it has the loudest most robust speakers of anything I've ever used. Is there a build.prop file I can change?
Mixer_paths! It's that. But which one? Somebody help!
So here's the fix-
Edit your build.prop file line "ro.audio.vibra.ring.vol.idx=5" I changed mine to 8 and reset.
Either the test call I made to my wife was wonky and really loud or volume is greatly increased. Actually had to turn volume down.

Have you made any more test calls, 1 isn't really conclusive
Also, I'm assuming this survives a reboot, correct?
Cheers
Yeah sorry didn't reply back definitely isn't the fix. Not sure why none of the developers here haven't chimed in on this. Fantastic speakers but they're so limited specifically for phone calls. Wtf.
has anyone found a fix for this? call volume is very low.
NOTE: speakers work fine in playing music, videos and playing games.
I have the same issue and I have been checking this thread from time to time to see if anyone had posted a possible fix for this. I hope someone knows how to fix this low call volume.
