Hi, this is my first posting on this forum (which I have been reading for a while) and I take the occasion to greet you all.
I've got a Samsung i780 (Italian brand TIM) and I am very pleased with the same. However, (maybe because I'm deaf although I don't think so) I find the volume-output of the earphones very low! I read on an Italian forum that by using the code:
*#0002*28346#
one gets access to the volume panel control of the i780 and from there one could probably increase the volume-output for the earphones.
I'm a bit "nervous" of accessing said code and before doing so I wonder if you can let me know if:
1) once entered in the service-menu (using above cited code) is there some kind of exit (without saving) for instance like when ones enter the BIOS-settings in a PC?
2) has anyone already modified the volume with success?
3) is it straight-forward or are there many parameters to change?
Any help/input from you would be really appreciated. If someone already have a procedure (or a link) that would be really great.

I would also like to know if this can be used to increate the PHONE volume as well, which is too low for me, the lowest of all phones i had...

indeed it will take you to a menu that allows you to control several variables related with sound... did not test, but it was a good hint. I'll post my findings when I have the time to test it
Samsung i780 - service menu?
Hi guys.. inspired by the *#0002*28346# code for changing volume (which works well by the way..) - I was wondering how to get to the following menu:
[1] Debug Screen [2] Version Information [3] RF Test [4] UMTS rf nv [5] Read gsm rf nv [6] Write gsm rf nv [7] NULL [8] Audio [9] Common ”€\ [1] Basic information ”Ź\ [2] MM Information [3] RR Information [4] GSM Neighbour Cell [5] GPRS Information [6] SIM Information [7] Handover [8] Phone control [9] Antenna & ADC Test
These strings (basic menu) and even more interesting ones(submenus),can be found in the i780_DXHC4_Rev12.img file, I guess it's some kind of service menu, yet I've no idea HOW to get to this menu... anyone does ?
it is indeed possible to enter and exit the menu without changing values. just pressing ok.
...and the settings survive after soft-reset... I guess they are stored in the nvram. Great for making by bluetooth handset louder
What exactly did you select in the menu to increase the volumes of the phone? there are many paramters in every menu, is there some manual for this?
Many thanks for your replies. I will now try it out.
In any case, if someone obtain some real good results it would be great if you could post a more "detailed" procedure. I will do this myself as well.
This could be useful for other users as well.
Thx and rgds,

There is no manual.... but generally....
TX - controls how loud people will hear YOU
RX - how loud YOU can hear ppl
- XX dB .. +XX dB .. logarithmic scale.. negative values decrease volume, positive values amplify volume, 0 dB = "original" sound without any processing (decrease/amplification)
Works also with the ring tone volume, speakerphone volume, media player.. everything - and values are retained after soft-reset, but reverted during a hard reset.
I've attached the app that is launched with the key combo.. can't launch it manually though, any idea why? And also, where are the values stored? They are applied immediately..
Hi,
Its still not clear how to adjust...
1) what's the difference between Normal Mode / Talking mode ? Normal does not have RX / TX...
2) I will use TX to increase hwo loud i can hear people but what is the other settings (RCV, MPBST, MVOL, M2BST)?
Can anyone post the original settings here, please. I accidantly increased the microphon sound of my earjack and do not know what parameter it was. I want to avoid a hardreset of course ...
what was the problem after increasing ? is it too loud?
I did some chnags andI am really happy with them

yes, too loud. the caller told me he wasn't able to understand any word because of scratching noise.
Can you post your Settings? Maybe they work for me too...

MVOL:0db
M2BST+0db
TX:-6db
Das sind die Einstellung vonTalking/Earjack. Reicht dir das?
I don't know how to increase my microfone. I tried many settings but no results. Could someone help me? which setings I must change to increase volume on my microfone. Sorry for my english. I'm still learning.
found this on wordpress.com
Here’s a tip from Gavin to tweak the i780’s volume-
*#0002*28346# code for changing volume
TX - controls how loud people will hear YOU
RX - how loud YOU can hear people
- XX dB .. +XX dB .. logarithmic scale.. negative values decrease volume, positive values amplify volume, 0 dB = “original” sound without any processing (decrease/amplification).
Works also with the ring tone volume, speakerphone volume, media player.. everything - and values are retained after soft-reset.
Thx Reyals but I read this before. I set this:
Talking -> handset and Earjack:
TX to 0dB, next time -1,5db and -46,5dB (Available value for this setting: from -xx to 0dB)
next menu and apply.
I didn't see any difference. Maybe I chose wrong setting.
This information is very useful to improve the talking quality of BT handfree
If you own a BT handfree with DSP and use it on i780, you will found that other people can't hear what you are talking.
Your voice will process two times in BT handfree (DSP) and Phone (TX -9dB). it result the voice is very LAG for hearing.
But if you use a BT handfree without DSP it will be fine.
Therefore if you use a BT handfree with DSP, you should set the TX in BT mono to 0db.
P.S. I found that the i780 is REAL stereo BT (A2DP), not same as HTC phone used joinstereo. and the BT sound quality on i780 is great with my plantronic 855.
I've been playing around with the settings but I have not managed to increase the volume-output of the earphones (for listening to music). I have tried all possible settings but in vain
Someone who knows what settings to change?
Thank you.

In HD Tweak, I set Volume Control\Acoustic settings to anything above the 100db limited (Default) - and audio gets boosted accordingly, but the microphone doesn't work and I'm unable to talk to anyone.. anybody have the same issue or any workaround?
I just want to boost the audio levels of the device overall. Btw, I also tried the audio booster within HDtweak and it doesn't seem to do anything. I also tried the audio boost cabs in the HDtweak site and no change.
I applied this tweak also and same thing. It even screwed up my bluetooth headset and i couldn't hear anything. When switching to speaker you only heard slight static. Only time i could hear the caller was the internal speaker but caller couldn't hear me. Had to go back to default for it function normally again. Not sure of any work around yet.
Hmm...I changed mine to "Normal" and had no problems with mic.
Guess I'll have to test further.
Did you happen to apply any other changes prior to HDtweak (such as: SRS WOW, or applying the AudioPara3.csv file floating around)? These may be conflicting with the change.
Nope, I didn't have anything else running or installed. Tried it on both mine and my fiance's TP2, with the same results.
Right now I'm using that tweaked AudioPara3.csv, but I can't really tell a difference if there's a difference, maybe a slight volume increase.

Not 100% sure of what you've done, but suggest you revert everything back to stock (HDtweak all audio related changes to default settings, remove 'audio boost cabs' and the AudioPara3.csv file), and soft-reset.
Test that mic is working properly, then try HDtweak -> only the acoustic settings to "Normal".
Soft-reset and check for mic functionality.
Sorry about that.
I meant previously that I had reset all settings back to stock, and was just running the AudioPara3.csv tweak (which didn't seem to do much or anything at all).
I reverted back to stock again now, and am just running HD Tweak\Acoustic Settings\Normal. I tested the mic with a call and it does indeed work.
I can't really tell if the volume is louder though, I think it is, but it's just hard to compare. I had set it to Maximal before and could definitely tell a huge difference, so I guess that's what I'm aiming for, or at least intermediate, but for now the Normal setting will have to do. Thanks sir.
I have installed & run HDtweak on my TP2. I hear no noticeable audio level increase. I have set all volume tweaks to max. Is a reset needed to "apply" the tweaks?
I have downloaded and tried the audiopara3 full & light boost and it made my device to where I couldn't hear the other caller at all. But it did make the ringtone louder.
I un-installed and know its back to normal.
I am having the same problem with HD tweak.
The mic goes off each time i increase the volume in HD tweak.
Still waiting for a solution and searching daily for a descent tweak, (Pro2 tweak maybe)?
Sorry to bump this old thread, but I was wondering if this HDTweak problem was ever solved?
The only way I can get my unbranded TP2's music players (WMP, Audiomanager, Coreplayer and Pocket Player) working at a comparable volume to my iPod Touch is by using HDTweak's volume tweaks, but I can't hear anything when making calls through my handset or speakerphone.
I've already tried multiple extusb adaptors and various headphones, and the sound is still considerably more muffled and not as loud as my iPod Touch.
I'd appreciate any help on this. Thanks!
hey has anybody got the sound for the rigtones working yet
is there a fix ? patch ? etc....
thanks
search the threads and you will find your answers there.
seriously?
if you want info on whether or not the ringtone/external speaker issue has been solved, check the dev threads. If there is a breakthrough they will all have updated it already since its a problem plaguing all rhodium devices.

Come on, man this was his first post, I understand that it's frustrating when someone posts without having read the stickies, but it's posts like that, which are so decidedly unhelpful.
For example, this is a good response, it berates him for not having read but it also contains USEFUL information:

Ring tones are working
Ring tones are fixed in the latest build as of 08/30/2010, i.e. sound is working in general.
In my case to actually get the handset to ring on incoming calls, I had to conduct the following steps (before that only the silent option was available as a "ring tone"):
go to settings -> Dev tools -> media scanning. Perform media scan. After that the OS restarted and the phone started ringing. Yeah...
cheers
BTW, I just noticed that the media scanning has to be conducted each time one the handset is turned on, otherwise the phone is not ringing.
Can anybody confirm that?
In addition I am not able change the ring tones in settings -> sound -> incoming calls. Why is that and can this be changed?
Has anyone found that if they use their own ringtone, an incoming call only rings once? I've tried converting my ringtones from .mp3 to .ogg but it still only rings once. If I switch to a stock ringer, the an incoming call rings over and over like it should.
ringtones
my tounch pro2 with the latest blazin build will use any mp3 i chose to use as a default ringtone and will ring more than once and play the full song. But on the other hand my other cell has all the same setup but only shows silent only, so it could be just the headset itself and not the build.

It's the card. Format it with the HP tool. Full format. Also, BLAZN is pretty outdated (9.28 was the last update).
Hi
I have a HTC Desire and a blueparrot bluetooth headset.
Have tried a few different mods and currently running latest cyanogenmod 7 stable version.
The volume of the microphone is VERY low, so quiet that some people cannot even hear me. If I change to phone mic or speakerphone volume is absolutely fine for them.
Also if I am trying to use the bluetooth headset for voice commands, it is very lucky to get anything correct, no doubt because the volume is so low.
The headset has been tried on other (non Android) devices and works fine. I am pretty sure it is something to do with the Android OS.
I also do not recall having this problem with the stock HTC image that was on the phone, although I only know its a problem if people complain.
I notice that there is a kernel patch for HD2 versions (which I guess mine could not support being a revision 1 desire) that provides for /proc/miclevel control.
Is there any way that I can fix this? Or any roms and kernels that may have this fixed?
I also require the call recording patch in the kernel to be able to record calls without using the speakerphone, so if anyone can incorporate that into suggestions if possible too please?
Thanks for your help.
Regards
Andy

Moving to Q&A
Hello,
I do not use the phone feature very often, but recently I had to take some calls while driving and could hardly understand what the other person is saying, because the speaker phone volume is really low.
Now, of course I set the volume to max and checked every setting I could find related to phone calls. I even went into the service menu and did the speaker tests. There I realized that the speaker phone is using a different speaker as the one that is used to play back music or other sounds. The same sound sample is used in the tests and it is much softer in the speaker phone test compared to the mono or stereo speaker tests.
Is there any hack, setting or configuration file change I can do to use the mono or stereo speaker for the speaker phone feature?
Please help, this is the only gripe with this fine phone I have.
Same problem here.
Solutions, anyone?
