volume levels - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

I have used CM10 and AOKP jelly bean. Both work great but I still find the volume too loud. Does anyone know of a way to manually edit the sound levels like the default_gain.conf file in samsung roms?

About to get buried here. Anyone else looking for the same solution?

audible sound selection

hey I'm on miui rom and I'd like to change the audible selection sound to the one samsung tw has
can anyone link me the sound file?
it's in system/media/audio/UI/TW_touch.ogg from what I found on google.
if anyone else want's to change it, the path for it on miui is system/media/audio/ui/effect_tick.ogg , I think at least, as it sounds like it
nobody wants +1 thanks for a simple operation?
Is this it?
Is this file what you want?
TW_touch.ogg
How can I set this "selection sound" volume?

Dock volume ICS

Does everybody else on a skyrocket ICS port have very low car dock volume?
Every skyrocket port ICS rom I've tried does.
Does anybody know of a file that controls dock volume?
Does anybody know a fix or application that could remedy this?
It's working and sounds good... it's just really low. There's got to be a setting.
There's a thread about this in Q&A. Yaldak was working on it but I don't know if he ever made any progress with it.

[Q] How to link notification volume with ringtone volume on ICS builds.

As I said in the title, I was wondering if there was any way to link the two volumes together.
In gingerbread roms, I always used the app Volume Control +, which worked just fine and dandy. However on all roms for ICS (Except AOKP and CM9, which have it included in the volume settings) this app doesn't seem to work anymore, because the notification volume still stays where it is when I hit the volume rockers.
Anybody know of a different app that works for ICS roms on our phone? Or any other way to accomplish this? Any help will be appreciated.
I want this too please...
I was just about to make a thread on this until I decided to search. And same things apply. It worked in 2.3.x and AOKP had it incorporated in the ROM.
*sigh*
This is the biggest urk for me. I'm so used to changing my volume with the volume buttons. I'll have it low and get a text and it's all loud. -_-

I'm reviving this thread now that all E4GT'ers will soon be on ICS - would really like to know if anyone has a way to link Ringer and Notification volume. None of the Play Store apps seem to support this on ICS because apparently they are linked in ICS on every other phone except Samsung's.

Speaker volume is very low in Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean

Hello Guys,
Can you guys please go to the following link and star that problem, to see if Google can do something about correcting this issue.
this low volume is the biggest complaint about staying stock.
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=35084
Why not just use Franco kernel and use volume boost... I just hate filing complaints.
-tapped from my paradigm Franco kernel Galaxy nexus
I have the same problem with a nexus galaxy with jellybean 4.1.1
I found a soluction in web that talk of change a string in system\build.prop
"ro.config.vc_call_vol_steps=" and change its value to 10.
But my problem is that in my build.prop the string there isn't.
How i can solve the low volume on my nexus?
Volume+ (volume boost) don't work, it crash at start
Bump!
If any of you guys have time, please Star that topic.
I know it can easily be fixed via rooting the device or what not.
But i'm kind of over the whole rooting scene in a way and just want to stay stock.
but it bugs me that if my nexus is in my pocket or if im not in a quiet room i can barely hear anything.
i also emailed the google play support team, hopefully they will reply.
i've owned way too many google devices for them to just ignore us like that.
best believe if this issue is not resolved via software update, sad to say but i will be switching over to ios.
reply back from Google Play.
I guess they cant do anything about it.. This sucks.
Hi JC,
Thanks for your response back. I can understand how annoying it can be to
experience low volume on your phone device and having to wait for the
development team to come out with an OTA to fix the issue. Unfortunately,
this information isn't available to us since it's being handled by the
Android development team. I recommend you report the issue directly to the
development team. Here's how you can report platform bugs:
http://developer.android.com/support.html
There is also a chance that the issue might be something Samsung might be
able to either repair or perform a replacement for; depending on how long
you've had your device. If you'd like, you're welcome to give us a call
and we can see if this will help. I'm providing a link to our click to
call below:
http://support.google.com/googleplay/bin/request.py?contact_type=contact_policy&policy=hardware
If you have any other questions or concerns, please reply back to this
email and I'll be happy to help further.
Regards,
Jay
The Google Play Team

If you are just referring to Music / Video audio volume you might want to check out this app.. I haven't tried it.. I'm running CM10 which sounds great...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.omegacentauri.SpeakerBoost&hl=en
I can understand the stock mentality but with a couple adjustments you will get a better than stock - stock experience...
Personally If I wanted to stock-ish, I would flash the stock rom, root, install trinitystable35 kernel, install trickster mod, adjust headphone volume only and then set superuser to deny any root attempt by default without a prompt...

If you wanted to add that to your build.prop, you could download Build Prop Editor from the Playstore, create a key named ro.config.vc_call_vol_steps, and give it the value 10. At your own risk, of course.
Do they even test this stuff? It's beyond unacceptable to have a speaker this inaudible. Makes me want to throw my phone every time I try to watch a video.
I added my two cents to the link.

Download to computer. Extract with 7zip. Move entire media folder to sd and replace/merge current media folder. Might get warning staying device cannot play some files. Ignore. They work.

Weird. I have better than average volume on everything and haven't modified anything other than putting CM10. Might it be a specific version?

A simple app from a Play Store does wonders, if you don't want to unlock your phone.

Cyanogenmod is the Way...
I also has got version 4.2.1 and I stock ROM is just fine for me, I never liked CM, but I have got root. A have got problem with volume too, do not hear SMS in my pocket at all.
I did not find the solution, Volume+ boost app still do not work with JB (hopefully will work soon) and Speaker Boost still "stop working", even the old versions.
So, do you know any other solution?
JB 4.1.1 Low volume issue resolved - at lease for me
i had the same issue when i upgraded my stock S3 to 4.1 -- the speaker volume was very low in Nav and music players.
Increasing the "Media" volume fixed it for me.
click on the volume button (up or down) and then click on the settings icon at the end of the slider. Now slide the "Media" volume to the highest.
Everything is back to normal -- in nav audio and speaker phone etc.
If you have not already tried this, you can give it a try ... it might fix it!

I had got problems with ringing and notifications, so this is not solution for me, BUT found another one, Ringtone Maker.
I have upgraded to cm10.1 with jb 4.1.2.....I did the nightly builds for 01-02-2013...
the volume is horrendous.... even worse than stock. I don'tknow what else to try. hopefully it will be fixed in the next night builds......full speakerphone volume soundslikeit's coming from the headsetat full volume.... and the headset volume at full is barely audible even in s quiet room. I turned on the boost in strings but it did nothing. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

[REQUEST] lower notification sounds

Hi everyone,
I am looking for a mod to lower notifications, as I find them to be very loud and I fear I'm going to get a heart attack one day just because my phone will remind me of an appointment or will let me know I've got a new text.
I know there is a volume step mod, I've tried it and it appears it has no effect between the silent and first volume step compared to stock.
I know I could also edit the sounds in GWave (or any other software) But I'm already tired doing this!
So I was wondering if such a mod already exists, and if someone could give me a link I haven't found yet... Otherwise I'll try to edit the notif. sounds myself (decrease the volume, let's say to 25% - that seems pretty high enough to me!) and post a zip here if anyone shows interest for it...

I'd be interested if you could do this and combine it with the volume steps mod to go from really quiet to full loudness over 20/30 steps.

I'm guessing you're probably going to have to edit them yourself. I see you mentioned a program called GWave. Another good one I use (I'm a DJ and record continuous mixes & burn them to CD's) is called Audacity.
Volume Butler seems to working ok
The only one free i found working on One and separates ringer and notification volumes is
Volume Butler
