For whatever reason Samsung took this option out of Android. I know its in CM, and my stock Evo Shift, Evo 4G, Epic, and Photon all had this option, as does my friends Droid 2 and Droid 3. I tweeted @galaxyssupport to ***** and they said they would pass it onto the R&D team.
Anyone know if this is something a dev could easily add back in or does anyone know of a good market app that can easily handle this for me. I hate not having it since I am so used to having it and I hate changing them separately.
I use Volume Control+ Pro to replicate this (former) setting. It allows you to configure the various sound settings at a granular level, and then lock them.

I use quick setting for this, and easy access to other settings. You can shortcut it to long press search button if you like. (Not needed to make not vol and ring vol the same - the shortcut that is)
Incoming call volume goes HIGH up by itself
Hi..
My incoming call volume of my Motorola Photon 4g goes up close to maximum by itself if I leave the phone idle for sometime. It is so annoying and hurts my ear as it is so loud when I answer or place a call. I have to make sure every time before I hold it to my ear that I get the volume down again...
Any help please ??
Thanks

Any programs out there that will allow you to adjust the call volume using the up and down nav. I notice these buttons don't do anything during the calls now. why not remap them so they adjust volume?
Anyone know of a hack that will do this. That touch strip is the stupidest idea ever. I cannot believe people agreed to having that thing on the phone.

Yup, I downloaded and tried that app but the issue is you have to upen an application, choose the volume, click ok, wait 3 seconds, then it is applied, then you gotta close it.
I really want to know if there s a way to map the up and down so I press up, and the volume goes up a notch during a call.
I hate the jogger, but it is simpler than that application
Hello！It's me！
Here r some questions for my T-mo G2 followed:
1 I feel my device's voice is so low that I always miss some in-callings. And I have try to adjust the volume by the system. But it doesn't give me the satisfactory effection. So, is there any good app for the voice volume for the in-calling?
2 Just like know to all,when the phone is dialing, the radiation is the most dangerous. So,how can the device vibrate when the calling is hanged?
HOW CAN I DO?
THANKS A LOT!

sorry, your english isn't great but what i think i see is:
you want the volume louder when you are actually talking to someone on the phone
you want the phone to vibrate when the call is done? (not so sure on what exactly this one was supposed to mean.
the first one i don't have much of an answer for other than you may not be holding the phone properly, this phone took me a few days to figure out how to hold it and hear the person on the phone. try moving the phone a bit when you are on it and see if that helps at all.
and the second question might be solved by root and flashing CM6.1, there is an option in the settings to make the phone vibrate when the call is connected, hung up, at the 45 second mark of each minute, and loads of other options.
Yes,my English is very poor！ I'm sorry for that！
Thank you for your reply,especially the 2nd answer！
But my first question means when the device has a incoming calls, its ringtones are so low that I always miss calls. So, how can I do?
Thank U again！
CM6.1 also has an app called DSP manager that you can use to adjust the equalizer settings, bu i don't really think that will increase the overall volume of the phone. you can try it out but i honestly don't think there is a fix for low volume at this point
I keep changing the volume of the device just by holding it.
My fingers seems to rest on the volume button(s). Both when I hold the Desire HD
In portrait and landscape mood.
Really annoying
Is there a way to disable the physical volume button and use a software dito.
For all sound except during calls, then those physical buttons might come handy.
I have managed to turn of the Mic on a X10 Mini, but didn't believe I would have problems with a full size mobile...
Sent from the problem child "the Desire HD"
I'm also interested in this. Google shows it's been done on other devices so it should be possible. Unfortunately I'm not clever enough to do it but someone out there must be.
Heck I'd even live with it being disabled during calls assuming I'd pre set it at an adequate level.
I had the same issue!
Check out Volume Control+ on the Android Marketplace. You can set the volumes for each program individually and lock the volume rocker outside of calls or videos; whatever you like.
It's not perfect; the rocker will still vibrate when you press it if it's locked. The volume won't change though. It's definitely good enough!
android is great. it really is , its the best thing to ever hit cell phones. however theres one feature i miss that i havent been able to find. im sure you all remember the old school flip phones and what not. the volume buttons on the side controlled all the volume at once. you turned it up and ALL of your phone volume was up, you turned it down and likewise. now with android you have , call volume , ringer volume, system volume, media volume etc. i hate having to go into my options and turn 5 or 6 different bars of volume control up and down. so my question is , is there an app or a mod (without rooting) that i could get that would make the volume buttons control all the volume at once like the old school phones? i could also live with a widget that would do this as well i suppose.
Audiomanager.
Anyone notice that the incall volume is too low? I noticed this when I was listening to Pandora in my car with the AUX input. A call comes in, I can barely hear the caller even with the incall volume at 100. I pump up the stereo to be able to hear, then the call ends, and I have Pandora blasting my ears off.
Tried apps, the service menu isnt the same as I've seen online in other posts, so frustrated......

Hey babokd,
Though this is my first post on XDA, I have been "trolling" quite a while and sucking up all the useful information I can. That said, this is the first time that I think I may have an answer. I hope this helps.
Bottom Line: If you have Google Voice installed, try uninstalling it and then make a call.
I will offer the troubleshooting I went through below so that anyone reading this can guage the validity of this and provide better commentary. I am not half as technically smart as the rest of the people here!
I have been having the same issue with my T-Mobile SGSII. I went through great lengths to figure it out. I noticed that on my phone the volume rocker works during calls to turn up and down when connected to auxillary and on speaker. However, the volume does not actually change.
I believe this issue stems with the KL1 update that I obtained through Samsung Kies. I reverted back to stock and the volume worked fine. I updated again to the KL1 update and reloaded all my apps, etc. Volume was broke again! (note: I did not install Google Voice when I reverted back to stock, so this could be an issue in the stock version as well).
As you suggested about the service menu... I am not sure if this is a KL1 issue, but on my T-Mobile variant of the SGSII (T989), the service codes that a lot of people are talking about do not work as well. It says "menu does not exist" after entering the codes.
In attempt to find a better answer for the T-Mobile variant, I updated to KL1 and installed all my apps one by one, but making a phone call after each app was installed. In my case, I found the culprit:
Google Voice
As opposed to other posts that I have seen saying Google Voice helps increase the call volume, I suggest that it does not. On the contrary, it makes the volume stick at low volume with no way to turn it up in speaker or auxillary. I uninstalled Google Voice and voila!, volume works again.
After all of this, I will still note that my SGSII volume is still not at the level I want during calls, but it is a whole lot more acceptable. Unfortunately, I can't use Google Voice for my calls now because I have it uninstalled just so I can make calls while driving.
I hope this was semi-insightful and helps you and others. At the very least, I hope someone else that is more tech-saavy chimes in!
Do any options help in the call settings like hearing aid or TTY? Seems like these might affect the volume output.
I was just on a call and the volume seemed to be max on the earpiece. Pressing the volume switch shows the increase and decrease as pressed but the output volume stayed at max. I made a second call and the problem went away. Not sure what the deal is, maybe related to the rom i am using (beastmod)
Are you running a custom rom or stock? Most custom roms I have run are too loud and I end up having the volume between half way which is nice to have wiggle room.
I am running.

Hi bigcletus and DensoYamaha41,
I am not sure if your response was to mine or the OP, but I will provide info in my case anyway.
I wish I had more time to post more information in my original response. In my case, I am only rooted and using the latest superuser. I have the stock ROM.
When I was troubleshooting this issue, I did go into settings to change hearing aid, etc., but that did not help. The only thing that helped was removing Google Voice.
It does seem to be an app incompatibility issue because when I end the call with Google Voice, the "hang up" sound played by the dialer app is really loud. When I turn the volume down and hang up, the volume of the "hang up" sound is really low. The actual in call volume does not change.
I do plan to run a custom rom someday, but I literally just got the Galaxy SII. I like to play with the original for a while before I change over.
If the OP has the same setup as me, I believe Google Voice is the culprit. For anyone out there reading this, do you have the the following: Google Voice installed on the T-Mo variant of SGSII and running rooted stock ROM with the KL1 update? If so, are you running into a volume issue as the OP stated?
