Anyone know..... - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

An app that lowers the volume of your ringtone while your holding the phone? I remember my EVO 4G would do this. I could have it on its loudest setting, but once I pick up the phone, it would lower it a bit. Obviously, I dont need the full blasting the ringtone super loud, after ive already been alerted that im getting a call. Would be tons helpful!

If you turn the phone face down when you get a call it will lower the ring to very low automatically. It's a built in future.

Anyway to boost phone sound?

Some of you may have this problem, some of you may not, but me and my cousin have this problem with our G2 where the sound from the other line is very quiet for us when we use the phone... as a phone. So what I want to know is, is there any way to increase the sound on for this? Do we have defected phones?
I have this problem as well. In call volume is maxed out but it doesn't sound very loud at all.
I have root access with CM 6.1.0 RC3.
My calls are loud and clear. Its the speaker phone thats low for me.
Does it happen with all calls incoming and out going?
Also are you on wifi?
How is your signal strength?
Same with me my speak phone volume is lower than I would like it, but head set speaker loud and clear

Yes, it's all of the calls that I make and receive. I'm never on wifi and my signal strength during the calls are all good. It may be just me also, but the G2 mic may be quiet also because when I call my cousin he sounds like he's whispering to me but when I call someone else their sound is just quiet, but enough to hear it with a small bit of background noise. I haven't asked him how the sound was when I called him since it's something I just noticed.
Mine's a little soft as well. It kinda sucks that one of the few flaws with this phone is it's use as a phone, lol.

You sure the phone volume is up? Also have you called Tmobile about this?
I have had mine for a little over a month and it is loud and clear, I have no issues hearing anyone, and no one has issues hearing me... really good sound quality imo. I am on stock rom still. Speakerphone is very weak for me as well.
Yeah, in call phone volume is incredibly weak for me. Going to try to boot into stock and see what happens. Is there an app to make the volume louder? Or some way we can change it?
EDIT: Okay. Turns out that I am an idiot. Phone is still new for me so I left the default protective screen on. As soon as I took that off, phone calls were a lot more clear. Just ordered a proper screen protector so I just have to be careful until then haha. Don't know if this will help out anyone but hey, figured I let you guys know.
You know, the real problem with the G2 is HTC quality control on those. I'm on my second G2...the call volume is way lower than my first one...
also the keyboard is a LOT better on the second one, I didn't care at all about the keyboard on my first G2, as the keys were very recessed and didn't have a real "feedback", so I never used it. Made me think the whole keyboard thing about the phone was useless, now I'm in love with it.
My problem is the hinge on the second G2 is much looser than the first one.
If you bought yours recently, just exchange it.

I'm positive the phone volume up. I haven't called T-Mobile yet because I haven't had time.
Ditto on the in call volume, would like to boost.
Anyone try this app Louder Volume Hack v4.1?
http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.AutoMod
I came from an HTC Aria and had the same in call sound trouble, then I tried Louder Volume Hack v3.6 but no luck, did not work.
Instead after some other searching I found a XDA forum that suggested turning on the TTY for the Hearing Impaired option in the Aria and waa-laa ---it worked. Apparently though, this TTY / Hearing Imparied option does not exist in the SOUND settings for the Z.
So, still looking for idea on the in call volume boost.

Theres an app called DSP Manager on CM 6.1.1 that i used to up the voume a whole lot. It comes already installed when you install that rom.
My speaker works great except during a call. I can't hear a thing from it when on a call however. It must be a software issue, then. I started a thread a bit back, but with no luck. I hope we can find a fix.
my in ear sound isnt that loud either.
Ok...regarding the app called DSP Manager on CM 6.1.1, I checked into this, but is appears it only helps on the "media" volume but NOT the phone speaker or in call volume for when the phone is to my ear during a call.
Can you advise, is DSP Manager helping for this in call volume?
Ok...
I found 3 different versions of DSP manager and frankly am afraid to install w/o having a little more dialog with some of you that may be wiser than me.
The three files are attached and as listed are:
DSPManager120210_ALL.zip
DSPManager_080910.apk
DSPManager_100810.zip
The DSPManager120210_ALL.zip file came from this link and appears to the the latest
https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_packages_apps_DSPManager
The APK file came from this XDA link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=750765
Anyway, after looking at the DSPManager_100810.zip file in unzipped mode, the file structure is different than the other zip file, which makes me a little nervous to flash uisng ROM Manager of Clockworkmod.
Meanwhile, I may install the APK file because I can easily uninstall if there is no improvement in the IN CALL VOLUME.
Any insights are welcomed.
Well I dove in and thank goodness for NAND backups...
Here is the deal (as of 12/31/10 4:05 PM EST):
- DSPManager120210_ALL.zip DID NOT FLASH
- DSPManager_080910.apk INSTALLED BUT NO CHANGE ON MY DESIRE Z A7275
- DSPManager_100810.zip FLASHED BUT NO EAR PEICE SOUND NOR SPEAKER SOUND
Now as of 12/31/10 4:11 PM EST in an restoring from my 12/31/10 10:00 AM EST NAND backup.
Gosh I hate doing this trial and error stuff, talk about a heart attack.
Will update after I complete my full restore and hope all is back in fully operational order.
==========================================================================
UPDATE....FULLY RESTORED 4:21 PM EST...PHEW!!
Thank you Koushik Dutta for clockworkmod!!!

Google intentionally plugged this hole. Meltus isn't developing this app beyond Donut.

speaker vol problem g2

is there any way to make the speaker and ringer volume louder than stock max setting i work in a real noisy area and a lot of the time its very hard to hear or is there a hack or app or somthing i love this phone but you cant even heat the ring tones some times and when you talk of speaker phone it sucks
thanks in advance
jack
btw its the g2
Check this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=906436
Someone there recommends installing "DSP Manager". However, I think that only helps with music, ringtones, games, etc. I don't think it will help with the speakerphone volume.
has anyone found a answer for the speaker problem yet it is driving me crazy i love this phone except for this
thanks
Bump.

Well, not sure if it's going to make much of a difference, but if you are using CM go to Settings>CyanogenMod settings> Sound. There you can change the notification, ring tone, and alarms from either 0db, 4db 6db (default), 8db, and 10db. Changing that to 10db on all of them should help out just a little..

[Q] Lowering the incall sound?

As the title says, I'm getting constantly earraped by that speaker, even if it's set to the lowest.

Loved the phrase: earraped.
I know this will sound stupid, but have you tried VOL down key while in call?
this guy is hearing frequencies unknown to the human ear. lol #earman
I literally have to keep the phone 2-3cm away from my ear. And yes I've set the volume on minimal whilst on call
I tried some apps from play store and they all tell me that my in-call volume issues on lowest
I guess I have to hold my phone differently

I also have no in call volume. I assume it's a bug. I am running HD Revolution 6.1 and Franco #9
Same problem here. I don't even have to put the phone in my ear when I talk to my dad.
Also, call volume controls felt unresponsive, even in stock ROM.

[Q] Notifications/Ring Too Loud on Lowest Setting

I'm a little surprised that I couldn't find anything on this. My wife and I just got our GS3s a couple days ago and are both of the opinion that the lowest volume setting for both rings and notifications is still way too loud. There needs to be a step between vibrate and the first volume level up. I like my phone to make noise, but I don't want the people in the next cubicle over to really hear it.
For what it's worth, mine is rooted, but stock everything. My wife's is straight stock.
I'm doing a lot of reading up before deciding on a ROM. Does anyone know if any ROMs have finer volume controls?
Thanks for any help.
Only option is settings, sound. Volume, and check what it's set to. I believe you can have your phone sound set to the first level above vibrate but the notification sound can be set to max at all times by accident or something. Just set it to the 1st or 2nd notch and see how it sounds.

Thanks for the reply. They're all set to the lowest level. I still find it to be a bit too loud, though. I think I'll just leave it on vibrate, which is pretty damn loud by itself.
Yeah I think the lowest ringer/notification is way too loud for a cubicle environment.
Would love a solution.
I too find them to be way louder than any of my previous phones with the exact same notification sound. On my HTC is was fine, but now it's way too loud for an office environment.
Is there any apps out there that can adjust this or is it something in the firmware?
Re sample the file.
If the volume is not able to go low enough, try a quieter noise. Or use software to limit the volume of the notification you are currently using. You would just have to find software that will let you manipulate the levels of the audio file then you can save it as a quiet version. If that makes it too quiet for environments outside of work than use one of those apps that automatically select the notification profile during work hours.

[Q] Anyone know how to disable increasing ring w/o an app

Does anyone know which files are used for the increasing ringer? Because sometimes when my phone is in my pocket I don't get to it until the third ring and sometimes miss a call. I've used the app called disable increasing ring I think it's called but it makes the beginning of my ring tones skip. I know on my evo 3d there was an option to turn it on or off but not on the Optimus G. If anyone can chime in I'd really appreciate it. Thanks

That's not it. I'm referring to when your phone rings and the volume starts low then increases to high no matter if your in a loud area or not. I have checked the wise ring tone and it still has the increasing ringer.

I guess i misunderstood.
If you disable Wise Ringtone, it gives the same volume all the time, and i thought that's what you wanted. My bad

It's alright, yea when i disable the wise Ringtone it doesn't change anything. When my phone rings it always starts at a low volume then increases. And that app on the playstore makes the beginning of the Ringtone skip, that's why I was wondering which files made that do that so I could just try and modify them myself. Thanks though
