I have the Samsung galaxy s4 active international version, and I'm fairly happy with it, but when I connect a headset to it, Im not pleased with volume. I have tested it with several headsets, but I keep getting the same low volume. Is there a way to get the volume to go higher? I've used the headsets on other devices like my computer, and the volume is just fine..
Every answer is appreciated

Is there a permanent way to raise the ringtone volumes? I find that the ringtones are notoriously soft compared to my Sony Ericsson W715, even with stock drivers! I'm missing like half my calls and texts because I can't hear it or feel the vibration.
For both my Galaxy S Captivate and my sister's Samsung Wave (yes does not belong here), we find that the lowest headset volume is still too loud when we are listening to music. Is there a way to change that too? Volume level 1 on our phones is like volume level 4 on my W715 and volume level 10 on her Sony MP3.
bump please
The captivate is a great phone but the volume is much to low in almost all settings. For example, when my wife gets a phone call on her Samsung Epic (and has her ringer up all the way) it is a very loud crisp sound that can be heard in most circumstances. Contrarily, I can barely hear my Captivate if it is in my pocket if the environment is not relatively quiet. I have similar complaints about the volume in the media player, notification volume, etc.
I'm guessing that the hardware is capable of putting out much louder sounds and that there is a software limiter somewhere. How can I change the system to allow much louder volumes?
Thanks for the help...
Its probably something wrong with the settings or hardware on your phone judging as how the epic and captivate are from the same series of phones and constructed using the same parts. I have no problems with my sound and when i am listening to music i can still hear songs even if i am not even on the same floor as my phone in my house.
I would also like to know if there's a way to make the volume louder. I also find that the max volume setting is still too low compared to other phones.
My Captivate has plenty of volume with the stock ROM but with several custom ROMs that I've tried the volume is definitely lower. Are you still on the stock ROM?
I really can't stand the fact that the ringer starts in so low. Often by the time I hear it, the call goes to voice mail before I can fish it out of my pocket.
It'd be nice if there was a way to make incoming calls start out on high volume...

Would this work on my samsung captivate from rogers to make the speaker louder?
hello.
I have very annoying problem since day one on my Galaxy S I9000 with FroYo. The volume on headset(original) is too low, barely audible, unless I press and hold the button that is on the headset. I have tried to hook up stereo speakers with 3.5mm jack and they have very low volume as well. I have tried headphones from motorola and blackberry - same thing - low volume unless holding the headset button.
I have Hannspree Hannspad SN10T1 as well and it has the same problem, it runs android 2.2. No matter what volume boosting apps I use the problem persists on both devices.
P.S. Same headsets (samsung original, blackberry, and motorola) I used to test both devices - work perfectly on my motorola defy phone. So I presume that the headsets are OK. It must be something wrong with Galaxy S and Hannspad.
Both devices are hard resetted and non-rooted.
Any help will be apreciated.
Thanks

And you are sure that the plug is all the way down?

Absolutely sure. Even tried to pull it a bit, but then just one of the headphones working. The plug goes all the way down as it should, still very low volume.
I can't be the only one with two completely different devices running android 2.2 that share absolutely the same problem.
Is there any software that can swap channels on the headsets? or swap channel for the microphone with one of the speakers, because it seems to be non-propperly configured channels to me.
Any other suggestions?
the pin-out configuration for these phones are different from most and the only headsets that i know that are compatible are nokia headsets. theres also adapters you can buy that will convert the wires the right way so the earphones/mic/button all work properly.
this one is confirmed to work: http://www.meelec.com/MEE_TRRS_Adapter_for_P_Version_Headphones_p/adptr-trrs-35.htm
Thank you very much for clearing that out evil-doer !
I will try one of those.
I thought - when I had this problem - that my headset was defect. So I bought a new one from eBay.
Everything is nice so far - The new one is working great.
I hadn't the chance to test if it's working on another device.
is there to solve this through the service mode?
Hi I would like to increase the headset volume on my phone it is far to quiet when listening to music in my car via the audio jack, I used to have a galaxy s i9000 and I used the voodoo amp app that turned up the gain from -10 to +2 and it sounded incredible in the car but my Sony outputs at a much lower volume and sounds pants in comparison!
I've tried a lot of volume boost apps in play store and I've tried flashing sound mods like v4a and zeroinfinitys volume boost and superloud but nothing makes any difference at all!
And I'm stuck with a bootloader unlock allowed : no phone so unable to install custom kernels
Any help to turn up the volume in some way would be greatly appreciated......
Thanks in advance
Anybody??
One last attempt for a response lol
This phone will be for sale if I can't sort this volume out or unlock the bootloader I will go back to samsung

Wait for 4.3 update, stock volume is louder.
But have you tried poweramp ? Gain can be increased a lot.
I have had a similar issue. Increasing gain will kill quality. And I don't think you want that. My recommendation is to buy a headset with a higher sensitivity. I always look for something higher than 105db because this stupid phone.
That's good news volume is louder in 4.3! I'm currently using poweramp paid version, I have dvc enabled and I've turned up the pre amp slider on the equaliser a bit but not a lot of difference in the sound have I missed a setting somewhere??
I never use an actual headset I plug the phone into the aux in on my car stereo, I don't know the hardware differences between the 2 phones I have but with the Sony plugged in and all volumes on max it sounds very quiet but if I plug in my old galaxy s running cm7 and voodoo sound if all volumes were maxed speaker damage would almost definitely occur it is sooooo much louder and the quality is still crystal clear in my opinion
This is a problem of too high impedance of your car device for XT, hardware related... You could use a preamp.
But wait for 4.3.
I picked up a USA unlocked note 9 recently. The sound volume is mostly fine for most things (including notifications). However, the speaker phone is very soft. Is there anyway to boost the volume on the speaker phone ? I hear the s10+ is better but i just got this thing so would like to find a work around if one exists.
There's a few audio boosters in the playstore. Would advise to be cautious and don't go overboard.
