Internal Speaker Volume Low

Guys,
My Brother has a Desire which he recently upgraded to Froyo.
Since then he has noticed a significant drop in the speaker volume (not the loudspeaker but when making calls with the phone to your ear).
Has anyone else experienced this problem please.
All volume controls have been set to max.

One thing you can try. While talking try to set volume to LESS instead of more. After you press the minus volume button once try to press the plus...

..apart from the obvious, how would this effect the internal speaker volume?

I assume its kind of a trick the phone situation where the phone could think its meant to be at a lower level than it is. Lowering then increasing volume could act as a reset situation.
Just a guess But I haven't noticed any differences with in call volume.

Yes.. Looking at it that way I can see where you are both coming from on that logic.
Thanks for your info too in that you don't have any problems.

Well he's coming round tonight so if none of you have any other suggestions I'll have to go with the Vol-/+ trick to see if that works.

Guys,
My Brother has tried your suggestion but not found any improvement.
Any other ideas please as obviously it is worrying him what has altered the volume level.
Thanks.

[Q] App to increase volume by small increments

Hi guys
Hope I am posting this in the right place. I'm looking for an app that allows me to increase the volume on my gs2 by smaller increments than the volume rocker does standard? Basically every time i hit up or down on the volume rocker the difference is huge. I can't seem to find the right volume for music. One notch will be too quiet, the next one up is too loud. My setup is:
2.3.4 stock, unrooted
Equalizer app custom eq
poweramp eq
Ultimate ears super fi noise isolating headphones
I use these settings and apps because standard it sounds rubbish. i've finally got my sounds right, but can't get the right volume! I've tried heaps of apps from the market, volume+, volume control, etc. All increase the volume by the standard 10% increment rather than the 5% i'm looking for. Fine volume control sort of worked, but it seemed after i adjusted the volume it would quickly revert in a second or two.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi, that shouldn't be happening; are you using the hardware volume buttons to change the volume? You have to use the dial or in-app sliders to modify the volume, if you use any other app to change the volume (or the rocker buttons), then it will move in larger increments.
If you need more a longer time to trial it, then PM/email me your UUID (menu/preferences then hold down your back button)

Thanks, I will give this another try and report back.

With some more experimentation, this works really well, so I bought it two things I was wondering about though, is there any way to lock volume, as I must be knocking as it shoots right up, and is there any way to save as a preset?

Presets are a possible future addition.
Not sure about volume lock, there are apps in the market like "RingGuard" and "Volume Locker" which would work - but only if you moved the volume enough to trigger an API level volume change, which is approx every 10-20%.

The volume slider shoots up when you press the hardware volume buttons? That's normal - it's because of how your device volume is calibrated (by the ROM).
The default volume stages aren't evenly spread across the entire available range. Our app shows the full range available, so when you press the volume buttons (from outside our app) it can appear to jump. It is effectively jumping, because the default API doesn't allow you to access those volume levels that lie between jumps (but you can with fine volume).
Basically, all other volume control apps and the Android system show the volume in terms of API volume levels. Fine volume control shows the volume in terms of the full available range. All other apps (and the volume hardware buttons) change the volume in terms of API levels.

It shoots up when using the dial. I've tried changing the sensitivity as well. Seems to always shoot media volume to 94%. It only does this occasionally though. All in all a great app!

Just to confirm, the dual on the far left is the overall volume? So if I am at 90% media volume but 7% overall, the media volume is 90% of the 7%, not of its possible maximum?

No, each slider is independent from the rest (ringer and notification are locked together though). There is no overall volume control.
The slider on the left (Android logo) is "System" volume, things like Screen lock sounds.

I have a rooted HTC Desire running Cyanogenmod 7 for which I wanted fine volume control. I like to be able to change volume using the rocker but it instantly shoots to 100% and that is extremely painful when using canalphones. I have uninstalled fine volume control 2 because I don't want to run the risk of insane volume levels.
Does anyone have any idea if this can be built into the volume API and have reliable hardware control?

Were you using the dial/overlay to change the volume?
Did the overlay not respond to your initial gesture, then suddenly "catch-up"?
Were you turning the volume up when it jumped?
I'm really sorry about this, I'll try and put in some volume limiter to prevent it happening.

Sorry for the late reply.
Dial/overlay worked as expected. what was causing problems was accidental use of the hardware buttons. Because that is what I am used to using. The app does not change hardware button behaviour and actually makes it worse as the volume can go almost instantly from 0 to 100% when touching the rocker.

The main volume app component overrides the hardware buttons and increases/decreases the volume by 1% each time you tap the button.
If the main volume app isn't currently on top, it can't override the hardware buttons (the overlay can't override either). It's a limitation of the Android system.
Each time you hit the hardware buttons from outside of the app, the volume will change in the default way (15 stages for media).
I've had a few reports of a bug when using earphones on the SGSII of erratic volume levels, so I have since added a volume limiter for when using headphones to workaround that sort of issue.

Speakerphone volume problem..

I've looked everywhere for an answer to this problem so please don't flame me. :fingers-crossed: I am new!
I flashed AOKP's jellybean ROM for AT&T last night and ever since then my speakerphone volume is really low. It's almost the same volume as the regular speaker. I can't hardly tell the difference between when it's on speakerphone and not.
Not sure what to do! Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I am running AOKP as well, although i haven't yet used my speakerphone, when my volume is up my notifications can be deafening at times...especially high pitched squeals and the like. Try going into the settings>rom control>sound menu and enable the volume panel. This enables you to selectively adjust the volumes for each sound group (for lack of a better word). This is similar to the stock sound menu with greater control. With this enabled when you adjust your sound using the rocker buttons you will see a mixer icon on the right, press that to open the volume panel and try adjusting the sounds that way. I've found the best setup for me is to crank up the phone volume, and then put the notification and music levels somewhere between 1/2 and 3/4 full. Its worth mentioning i also have my volume levels linked so that they all scale up and down together, this way my phone volume isn't all the way down while the notifications remain loud for example. This setting is found in the settings>sound menu.

I enabled that and it was turned all the way up. But I turned it down and then turned it back up and now it works great. Thank you so much!

ring volume / Volume +

I find the ring volume a bit too low, and i tried with Volume + app
When i test some music from the phone, it sounds really loud ( nice ) but when i receive a call, same song or ringtone i tried from the phone, isn´t the same, it´s lower the volume.
Is there a way to fix that ? I really want the ringer volume louder.
Thank you

If you have dsp manager or any other sound mods installed on your device you can try to disable them and only run volume +.

I did already but still same situation.
It should ring at the same volume, for music listening from the sd card and for the incoming calls / ring volume ?
Maybe Volume + doesen´t work for ring volume

Volume+ is for gingerbread not for jb. If you are rooted flash a custom kernel or flash a sound mod

Sorry, i thought Volume + is for JB too
But it sounds louder when i listening music, with Volume + enabled. And i thought, it should work for incoming calls, too
What would you recommend, instead Volume + ?
Thank you

Reduce normal phone sound. Technically, just press the volume down button while you're on your homescreen.
