The "marcini.thinkblu-tilt2 vol increase.cab" posted elsewhere on this forum makes the volume level on my TP2 tolerable (and thank you for that!) but I still have one issue...
Whenever I turn my phone off and then back on, the volume level resets to somewhere in the middle. I know it is petty, but I hate fumbling around with the volume to raise it back up. I want it to stay at the maximium level *always*.
How can I force the my phone to always boot up with the headset volume set to the highest setting? Thanks!
probably a registry setting somewhere here. Back up your registry (or phone) before making changes.
HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\InCall
Thanks, but I found and tried that one as well as "InCall2" and "InCall3" without any luck.
I also found and tried "SavedInCallVolume" and "SavedVolume" - I think I've tried every setting in the registry that seems like it might have anything to do with volume, but still haven't gotten anywhere. Everytime I cycle power it goes back to the middle setting :-(

flash another rom that woud solve it. now where is my $10?
I certainly haven't tried all available ROM's, but I'm sure that none of the ones that I have tried handle the volume any differently than any other...
Please make sure you understand what I am asking, point me to a specific ROM that works the way I want, and I will happily send you $10!

I thought that wm5 and 6 dont understand that option...
Weird though... if you have a mp3 it never reaches the second loop!! It stays very low at volume....
I hope someone will find a option to raise the volume every 5 seconds or so....
So I've ran into something of an odd problem recently. When I make a call (or receive one) I am extremely faint, to the point of the people not being able to understand what I say at all. I can hear people perfectly, however.
I've tried flashing a new ROM to see if that fixed anything. Two of them actually. No go. I haven't done extensive testing but if i use the speaker phone instead, I still sound like I'm "in a tunnel". I don't know if I sound just as bad or if it is just how a speaker phone normally sounds.
It also had not been in contact with water or dropped or anything. And it used to work fine. I honestly have no idea what's going on. I've tried out Android and Rhobuntu so maybe they did something? I have no idea.
Any suggestions? And yes, I've tried searching but it apparently isn't a big issue or I just can't get the keywords right.
EDIT: I used the voice recorder and, yes, I am faint as hell. It's ridiculous. Though, if I max up the volume and listen closely, I am pretty clear-sounding. If that helps any. I will continue to test.
EDIT 2: Turning off Auto Volume Control did not help any.
EDIT 3: Hard Reset didn't do anything.
EDIT 4: Is checking for when my contract expires for HD2.
if you've flashed to different roms, and also hard reset'd it, most likely its a hardware issue.
Flash to the shipped rom if you haven't done so, and if that doesn't help, call up t-mobile (or whoever your provider is) and get a warranty exchange.
Please have a look at this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5755759&postcount=10433

hi there,
every time i make or answer a call, i notice that the default volume is always on the low setting and i have to increase the volume to max all the time...why does it not stay on high volume? just curious is there a setting to keep it on high volume (max) instead of low?
thanks
Good luck!
The very same issue drives me crazy on this phone... I searched high and low for a fix - even posted a bounty here - but never got it resolved.
In fact, let me state again that if anyone here can fix this I'll PayPal them $25.
To be clear, I want the incall volume on my phone to stay at the max setting, always, and remian that way even if I power cycle the phone or turn the radio off & on.

I'm surprised you haven't found an answer, but then to be honest I haven't noticed this problem. I'm running an energy ROM and quite honestly I don't know that it does that. I'll have to double check and see, but I didn't think I have the same problem.
Cheers,
Diggy
Whenever I make or receive a call, I see my in-call volume at maximum level! I don't understand why it keeps doing this? I noticed this problem on all 3 of note 2. I keep adjusting to low but randomly just gets reseted to max again. Anyone else having the same issue with T-Mobile Note 2?
Update: finally found the culprit of this problem. The app "Tango" video chat messes with the in-call volume. Once account & app was uninstalled even after the reboot in-call volume setting never changed. Everything stayed as I left it and no more random MAX in-call volume.
Video to show what Tango is doing to my in-call volume.
Nobody has this issue? how come all 3 of my Note 2 has this issue =/
Anyone?
Sorry, this doesn't help but I usually keep my in-call volume at max so I haven't noticed this.

Thanks for the reply. I don't know how you keep the volume at max.. maybe it's just my phones but it's too painfully loud for me.
Would you mind trying to lower the call volume to lowest setting and restart the phone? See if the call volume goes back to max, I would really appreciate that.
For whatever the reason, the volume setting is not getting saved. So annoying since everytime i answer a call, it's trying to blow my eardrums out!
I'm guessing nobody has this in-call volume issues on their T-mobile Note2? Should I be considering an exchange....??
Just FYI multiple post saying anyone? Anyone? Pple just find annoying. Not trying to be rude. But from what I noticed from posts from other forums. Is when pple do that. They will never receive help or a reply from someone. Especially when the OP keeps doing that all in the same day.
Sometimes if you want help. You need patience. Especially here on xda. Pple here don't live there lives to help you. Right when you make a new post. Sometimes it could take days or even a week or two. But I'm positive if you don't do multiple post like this. And wait or even search the web. Even user a different phone. You will find ur answer. Remember google is ur best friend.
Anyways I don't no if its because of my rom or not but mind keeps going to vibrate and I have to keep turning it back to sound + vibrate
Oh ya you also have to be detailed when asking questions. Are you rooted or not. Stock or flashed a rom. Which rom. ...you get the point. The more you tell use the more likely a chance someone will help you. If you choose not to look it up urself
My bad, wasn't trying to be annoying or anything. I searched around in many different forums but still no answers and didn't get any replies on this issue, even the t-mobile support didn't know what was causing this issue. I guess I was running thin on patience.
I'm running all on stock and all 3 devices does this. T-Mobile sales rep said maybe it's part of the feature.. But we all know that's b/s. Changing in-call volume randomly doesn't sound much like a great feature to me....

Ya unfortunately that sucks. If you were rooted I would say try to flash a different rom. But since ur not my best guess would be to search around for an app that has something to do with volume/ in call volume. There's an app for everything these days. Ur just gunna have to read all the details in every volume app you can find. I'm sure there's something. Good luck. If you happen to find something. Post it hear in case others run into the same problem as you in the future.
Am I the only one with this problem? I wish some of the same device/carrier users would give me some feedbacks so I can figure out what to do....
you talking about in call volume or ringer volume? if its in call volume im pretty sure that if i lower it during a phone call it stays that volume even on the next call
im not 100% sure though...and im not sure if it stands through a reboot but i am pretty sure...cause i dont leave my in call volume on max because it is quite loud and distorted...if it always went back up to max i probably wouldve noticed..again not 100% sure

It's the in-call volume. I have no idea what's causing this... When I lower the volume it will stay that way only for that call and next call or sometimes even during the call volume goes up to max randomly. It's driving me nuts cause it's so loud and I can't even answer the call without worrying its gonna blow my eardrums!
I tried restoring factory but that didn't help and all three of my Note 2 do this so I'm lost here. Not like I rooted and modified anything, all is in stock.
Would you mind trying to put in-call volume to lowest and rebooting the phone? See if it goes back to max by default. That's how mine is set to every reboot.

Try rebooting, see if that setting sticks.
It does this all randomly. Setting will stay that way for awhile and all of sudden max volume.

yeah..volume went back to max after reboot
try this
go to dialer -> call settings -> my call sound...there are 2 options that might help you...one for sound settings (maybe choosing one of them will help you) or personalize call sound..that one asks you to plug in ear phones..im not sure what happens after you run that test and if it only applies to earphones but you can try it

Why would it do that... It's not suppose to. I never had that issue with ATT Note, N7000 and i9300... I get the feeling many people just don't pay too much attention to it and when it does go up, people just lower the volume and forget about it.
Whatever the reason setting of the in-call volume isn't being saved. And something is making it to go back to default. Just don't know what though...
Keep your eye on that volume, and check if it goes up randomly.
P.S. I really appreciate the replies, been waiting for awhile.

Yeah, I really didn't want to annoy anyone but this little bug was driving me insane. Spending hours with T-Mobile tech supports weren't even helpful either. I hope it isn't a defective unit... Please let me know if you notice this issue! Thanks again =)
I think I found the culprit. Seems like "Jays headset control" app was causing this issue. It was never an issue on any other device but not sure why it's causing on note2. I uninstalled the app yesterday and so far problem hasn't come back yet. Time will tell but so far so good.
Thanks for looking and replying to my post. I can finally relax!
Update: wasn't jays app... Still having issue.

i dont have that app so explain to me why its happening to me now?
Hey ive done a bunch of googling and searching and cant find a fix or a reason why this is happening.. I did a full data wipe/cache clear and installed the 12/26 nightly of cyanogenmod 10, and my speakerphone and in call volume is so low i cant even hear someone if im in the car or anywhere with any ambient noise.. the 12/27 didnt fix it for me either.
Any ideas on how to fix this issue? I cant post in the developer forum because of my post count but i have searched and found nothing on how to fix this issue... thanks

I think you mean CM10.1. They're working on it. There is something in the settings that you can change that might help it a little bit. Go to Settings>Advanced>Sound & select ”Extra gain in voice calls". It might help you out a little bit.

Oh, really???
Well, if they haven't gotten to the volume problem yet, from when this response was posted in Dec. 2012... then I guess that their focus on this Beta software 10.1.3 just isn't in the cards for my N7100.
I just installed 10.1.3 yesterday... and am tremendously disappointed in the volume (among other things).
True that "Speaker Phone" during a call is utterly useless... even worse than just putting the phone up to my ear.
Even Lock Screen sound doesn't work.
Some sounds are barely audible... that is if I turn off the TV, close the door to the room, turn off the AC so that the air coming through the ceiling vents doesn't make any noise, etc. etc.
You'd think that after a year, and with the big influx of $$$'s to CM they just MIGHT have gotten around to making it so that when I'm pushing my cart through WalMart... I could actualy hear the conversation without constantly saying "Huh?".
(I'm posting this on all threads i can find because it was also very frustrating for me, with no solution whatsoever).
I had this same exact problem on my Galaxy S3. All my volume settings are at highest, and even when i press the volume up rocker during the call, it doesn't get louder. HERE'S THE SOLUTION THO (after countless hours of trying many, many different things)! Not sure if this works for other phones.
During the call, if you press the volume button, you should see the volume level bar with the "settings" icon next to it appear on your screen (look at the screen while the call is in progress). Press the "settings" button to open up the volume menu. If you're having low volume, you probably have all the volumes at their max. Put your finger on the volume slider and just move it lower then back higher, and you should notice that the volume goes higher than it was before. It's almost like it's stuck at what it thinks is the MAX level, and by sliding it back and forth, it's "unstucking" it, and allowing it to go higher to the true max level. Not sure why it does this, but after doing this, it should remain at the new higher volume for the next calls. I did notice that if you adjust the volume lower for anything else (say when you're watching a video, or turning it down because the ringer or notification sound is too loud), then it will get back to the low call volume and you have to slide it again to get it unstuck.
If anyone knows how to report this issue to the CM 11 coders, please forward...
Hope that helps!
