hack to increase speakerphone volume?

Are there any hacks to increase the speakerphone volume?
I was rocking Resco Radio and its plenty loud. But the speakerphone is sadly quiet. Any recommendations are greatly appreciated.

Mine is quiet too, but the sound is already cracking if I use the speakerphone. It's unfortunate that the quality on the speakerphone is under par.
Does yours crack?

changing it to either 1 or 200 made no difference to my speakerphone volume

What about hardware modifications? Maybe two speakers. There is room for it.

Cool, let's get some xenon flash in there too while we're at it. Looking forward to when you post pics of that, Paitor hehe

I too want the speaker volume to go up. I dont really bother about the music playback but i want the phone to be loud when it rings when a call comes in. I donot realize the phone is ringing in my pocket and end up missing calls.

I installed the optxperiabeta02.cab from this site http://ixperia.ru/soft/winmobile/51-opt-xperia.html as it was mentioned on another thread about increasing volume... I have to say it worked pretty good... this morning the alarm from my phone was much louder and the call and sms sound is louder too...

In-Call volume very low

Hey everyone,
I have the problem that the call-volume is very low. I've already tried different settings, but there is not really any help.
Does anyone have the same issues? When I'm in a silent ambient, it is okay, but e.g. in the train it is really hard for me to understand the other person.
And no - my ears are not THAT bad

Haven't really noticed an issue with mine, although not usually calling from anywhere that is too noisy.

yes i have that prob.setting the qualiser to bright and disabling speaker voice enhancement improves it a little. but still the call volume is low.

Yes i also feel its bit low... but not very low!

For me it's good enough!
When I have a call in quiet place or a noisy place like in the city or a cafe or something, I understand everything good

i have that problem tooooo.in fact i fight with my gf every time cuz i cant hear what she say ,any advice to fix this problem?can i change some setting and fix this?

It's not that bad! Try using the earphones

:silly: using an earphone is not a solution.. can someone tell if this issue can be resolved using some mod/software?

Did this solution work for anyone? I am not seeing much difference, please help me if there is any third party application which can be used to boost the volume.

I've wanted to find out if there's a way for some time!
I connect to my car via aux cable for hands free.
But when I get a call I have to increase volume 7 or 8 steps for me to hear.
And then when the call finishes, I get deafened from when the radio kicks back in!

Call volume too low?

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 !

Viper Audio to increase call volume

I plan on purchasing one of these soon and I keep reading about poor call volume. Has anyone tried Viper Audio to try and increase the "call speaker" volume? I'm just curious if this has been successfully attempted or not.

do not own this device but from past devices such apps/enhancements change the media volume not in call earpiece volume ...could be wrong...think if rooted someone has to figure out how to change the audio amplification values...like on Samsung there would be a mixer.xml file inside system/etc I think.

I own the Mi Mix. Call volume is not an issue.
In doors with volume at about 25% I held a 30 minute call and sound and clarity were excellent.
Outdoors while walking at 50% no issues.

From my experience too there's absolutely no issue with call volume or clarity on this phone. I've no idea where people have got this impression from?

A couple of the reviews have indicated the call volume is very low and muffled. I'll have mine today and I'll leave my 2 cents.

Thanks!

From my point of view the volume is loud enough, coming from a S7 edge. And I don't find the sound muffled at all, I find it even better as I don't get my ear agressed by high tones.

Guys you're awesome!! Thanks for clearing all these misconceptions out for me. Was a worry for me for sure,but not now.

Yeah, I was a bit concerned as well. Hopefully we are all good.

so did you get yours and try it out? thx

One of the reviewers noted that the 'loudest' place to listen is roughly 1/3 down the phone.
If you look at teardown pics, where the piezo is located, that seems roughly correct.
If you're trying to listen to the phone very 'high' like you would if there was a normal earpiece, that's probably a mistake.
Also, you kinda want to have as much skin contact with the phone as possible. It seems pretty loud if you just mash the phone against
your entire ear/cheek.

Try listening whole walking on a busy street or a hall full of people.
Can barely hear the other party.

I'm also not experiencing any issue with call volume. I immediately turned the volume all the way up when I first opened the device and had to turn it wayyy down when the first call came in because it was too loud lol.

I have installed Viper on my Mix, I just wonder maybe you guys have mixed this up, the speaker setting in Viper's tab is for the bottom speaker, not the actual call speaker which only activate when you make phone call?
Am i wrong?

is what I thought/said sometime back..think Viper only addresses external media volume not in call volume with root someone should be able to find a mixer or audio xml file to change volume (maybe...saying but do not have device myself)

Ringing through lower speaker only?

Is it just me or are also your devices ringing only through lower speaker? In a way, it seems logical, but it is way to quiet.
When I play media (f.e. with Poweramp) or even when I'm selecting a ringtone in settings, it plays through both speakers (fairly loud), but at incomnig call only lower speaker rings and unfortunately at least for me it's not loud enough (my previous Note 4 was way louder).
Suggestions (rooting is not an option)?

Ringer and notification don't play through earpiece. Only Media.

Are you serious? Dude, change your ringtone or something. It's plenty loud. If you can only hear it in a quiet environment when its ringer is up all the way, you either have a bad unit or bad hearing.

The bottom speaker was loud enough on the note 8 , not had time to use compare with the 9.

I tried many different ringtones and they are all loud enough, when previewing (t.i., playing through both speakers). But during the actual call and only on lower speaker, they are not.
I certainly don't have bad hearing, but I'm afraid, that the unit may be bad. Although, media plays very good and loud (both speakers).

hate to be that guy, but are you sure your ring tone volume isn't lowered? You can set them it independently of media, notifications, and system volume
