Amplify in-call volume

At least compared to my old fascinate, the incredible 2 volume during a call seems to be a lot lower (even though volume is set to max). Is there any way to increase the maximum volume?
Currently non-rooted and on 2.3.3.
If there is a way, but requires root, please do explain.

Not sure of a non root way. But currently you can not root 2.3.3. When rooted the tiamat kernel fixes it.

That's weird, because the in call volume is a lot louder than the Fascinate for me. Also, ****ty stock 2.3.3

Does this also help with the speakerphone volume?

I am on Tiamat v1.03, it may have fixed in call volume. Speakerphone volume still remains low

I have bad hearing and with my OG DROID the volume was perfect for both ear piece and speaker pbone. With the DINC2 the volume is lower.

Same as me, my hearing is bad, but I was able to hear clearly on the fascinate without having volume max, but the Inc2 volume seems a lot lower even on max.

Well what do you know. In settings there is an option of for people with hearing aids that says it increases in-call volume.
I had that clicked from day 1, but the moment I unchecked it, the in-call volume increased a lot.

I don't have a hearing aid but I must be blind too. Where in settings is this option for people who do have a hearing aid? Lol
Edit: Ok so i am blind. I just found it lol. I must have overlooked this option dozens of times

Increase bluetooth volume and quality

Is there anyway to get louder bluetooth volume on a phone call and better quality.. I had the sammy victory 4g and volume was crazy loud and quality of sound was amazing for a cheap low end phone

havent really noticed any issues on my lg tones, jambox or my bt head unit....what are you connecting to?
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app

I am using a blue parrot headset.

I'm using a Plantronics Voyager Legend and the volume does seem a little low even at maximum. It can be a bit staticy sometimes as well. Neither issue is so bad as to be annoying though. I had thought that the issue was with the Plantronics, but I suppose it's just as likely that the problem is with the Note. I haven't searched for a solution yet.

I have tried my headset with my wifes gs3 and my old phone photon and it is crazy louder with those phones, then I connect if back to my note2 and the voice prompt and commands are loud but when on a phone call isnt nearly as loud....

Silly question...but did you turn it up? I think there is a setting that adjusts in call volume to a lower level by default

I've seen the same thing. Its a software thing because on Jellybomb 5.1 the volume us definitely louder but still not loud enough. My same BT headset was much louder on my Evo and is much louder on my WP7.

Ya I just wish I was smart enough to figure it out I have tried multiple Bluetooth headsets and all them get quiet when you start taking but use thm on other phones and are louder
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium

Any super smart developer that can figure this out there has to tweaks somewhere to increase the max volume
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium

I would Definitely say its a problem with the note. The volume is way low on a call. I use a Moto hx550 and my GS3 worked great with it.
I have been following this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1931970
and tried the tweaks by editing manually, but it didnt help bluetooth volume. So I'm either not tweking the right volume values or there will have to be another solution found. Its frustrating, but hopefully something will come out of one of these threads...

I have an issue with my Note 2 Bluetooth quality as well. Using Motorola Elite Silver. Seems to be perfectly fine with playing music and as soon as I initiate a call the quality degrades their voice breaks up as well as mine. Works fine with other devices, currently have tried on a couple different ones in the Sprint store I work at.

Has anyone found a solution to this issue?

What rom/kernel are you running? If its a tw rom with a compatible kernel you could try STweaks.
It has an option to increase standard volume limits.

Hmmm, its got to be rom related then. If your headset works fine on a different phone, then thats all thats left. There is one last option for you
I use a jawbone icon I got fron ebay.
What really made the difference for me...jabra ear gels. They look crazy! But they hold inside the ear without a hook. An it tunnels the sound dramatically. $6 for a full set left and right.
Honestly bud, this made night and day difference! Sadly their not available in any store anymore. But online everywhere!
If sound is this much an issue for you. I would say the $6 is worth a try.

There should really be a VLC-like setting on all ROMs that allows you to go above 100% on bluetooth volume if you choose to.

Headphones problem

Hello developers! I am here with the first problem of my HTC One X. When I am listening music with bass, and the multimedia volume is 10/15 it sounds veryy clear and nice, no problem.. Sadly, after I raise the volume up to 11,12...,15 the RIGHT headphone starts to vibrate. I think it is a distortion or something like that. I am not using any custom ROMs, the stock one, stock kernel, device is not rooted in am going to root it soon. If anyone can help me please leave a post here or send me a PM. (Merry Christmas to everyone!)
Regards, zoneninja

Could be a headset issue?
Try different sets of headset.

It is a headphones issue.. The idea is that I don't wanna buy some crappy headphones and I was thinking to get UrBeats.. But I want to repair these . If not possible I am going to get beats

Wired headset in line Mic problems?

I have two sets of headsets. Both are Skullcandy but different models. They both worked on my Galaxy Nexus & Evo LTE.
The sound works fine. The Mic doesn't. Plus, if they are plugged into the phone and someone calls I can hear them. They cannot hear me through the phone or Mic because it disables the phones mic when they are plugged in.
The headset Mic works for recording sound with apps off the market. The only time the Mic doesn't work is for phone calls.
Is there a fix? Does anyone else have this problem? The phone didn't come with a headset in the box so if LG has done proprietary headset stuff they didn't have a way to eleviate it.
Thanks

I have skull candy ear buds I'm sure basically the same set and while I don't have the exact problem, they are problematic. They pick up so much background noise it's near impossible to hear me.
I too am interested in a fix for this.

Hold down the center button on the headphone while you plug it into the phone.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium

Well, that sure did the trick. How the hell did you figure that out? For two months I have been have headset issues that no one could help with.
I wonder why holding the button fixes it?
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium

I had the same issue, and through multiple trials and errors, I finally got it to work. However, what's weird is that I have to do this trick for some phones, but not others like my Epic 4G.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium

never in my life would I have thought to do this. ever.
Thanks for the tip!:laugh:

There is a known issue with headsets designed for apple products where the mic doesn't work. I had the same issue with mine using iPhone 5 earphones. I'm not sure if it's a hardware or software limitation, or if they plan on fixing it. As soon as I find out, I'll be sure to post it.

I can confirm that holding down the center button on the headphones works for Bose MIE2i as well. Awesome!

louder volume?

this is the only thing i have always hated about Samsung iis the damn volume is just not loud enough without a amp....
that was the only thing i would give iPhone that they did right even the iPod app is really loud.....
are there any apps that can boost the voulme i want my music loud as hell thats how i like it
im using power amp now and while yes its great its just not loud enough and its even worse if i use pandora
i am using cleanrom atm so any twaeks that i can have would be great thanks very much ^^
my wife i got her the HTC evo and it has beats audio which make the phone loud as hell so anything like that would be great

I flashed a htc rom w/ beats audio and worked i believe the audio part is done by beats software/equilizer.

is it loud i really don't belive into the beats hype that they give i just want the volume loud

No not much difference it just had some bass to it. and using headphones made it sond crisp.
It didnt get louder though, my evo had already been loud. Maybe yours is not outputting enough power(hardware fault?)

I guess I could Recommend the Jedi xp12 Rom, it comes with Voodoo Sound which works really good. :good:

I dont have any problems on my note 2 with the volume level. However on my gs3 I did. I use fauxsound .

It requires a supporting kernel. Ask the in your rom thread if it is supported. If not you can refer the kernwl creator to the above link it has instructions for adding it to the kernel.

I used this and it made every sound louder but not distorted. Very easy to do.
Headphones are louder and so is the internal speaker.
