[Q] Low incall volume and speakerphone, how to fix? - Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion

Hi all,
this is my first post in XDA Dev. forum and I bought just a month ago the Sony Xperia S. This is a great phone for me, except for incall volume and speakerphone during calls. For music and other stuffs sound is amazing but it's too low when I talk to someone, expecially with speakerphone compared to my old Galaxy S2.
I remove the little back protection from loudspeaker and I put all volumes to max. xLOUD is on but I think that this is only for music and not for incall volume..
Is any FIX available or custom ROM that can resolve my problem?
I can't imagine a great phone like Xperia S with normal phone problems..
Thanks a lot and sorry for my bad english (I'm Italian :laugh
Good evening to everyone.

Which firmware do you have?

[Q] Is it possible to retain xloud streinght

I know most of people here don't care about xloud being nerfed,and I'm sorry for reopening a thread but the previous one didn't have an answer. So I'm currently on 2.3.3 and I was looking for a way to extract the xloud for later flashing,just like these guys did http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1201729,now this is from the arc and I don't know if they are identical,and if they are I will have to use terminalEmulator since I cant use recovery.
One last thing,I will try to find every file in the zip,as it is in my phone in case nobody helps,and if it works i will make a thread with it
No, because the interest is low... Sony removed it for safety..

Well,guess I'm on my own...as usual
Sony removed xloud from what? I'm on 2.3.4 and I still have it. Only quirk I have with it is that you can hear the volume go up from low to highest when I recieve a text message. The volume is not the loudest right from the beginning of the sound.

Low Speaker Volume "Ringer/Earpiece"

Hey guys,
Quick one on ringing volume on the Gnex...so dam low! Can hardly hear it. The earpiece is only just acceptable also.
Any ideas??
Unrooted 4.0.2. Gnex
Thanks in advance! =)

Try this:
Volume+ Free - LINK
or buy it to make it even louder: Volume+ (Sound Boost) - LINK
If you ever root, use DSP Manager, a lot better then Volume+:
DSP Manager (Flash it) - LINK

I tried the free no noticeable difference so im hesitant to buy the full. Thanks anyway
you can buy it, and try it out. you have a 15 minute refund window.
yea I hate that 15 min window lol never seems enough time, they should at least give you an hour
Its says it currently doesn't work with ICS?? Hrmmm..
So it works on your Gnex??
Thanks guys. = )

this doesn't help with "in-call, earpiece" volume. i recall that this type of change had to be done at the kernel level. i had the same issue with my Nexus One and a kernel dev boosted the output tables (or something like that) in the kernel and it made a big difference. i was hopeful that Samsung's service codes could be accessed to change in-call volumes. however, those codes don't work on the Galaxy Nexus.
Hmm. Flashed dsp manager and now it force closes every time i try and open it. Any way to get it working or at least remove it?

This has been covered in depth. Install equalizer or volume+, and max out each frequency. Your volume will double for all audio, ringers, notifications, and music. But call volume will stay the same.
So it does work with ICS?
I used volume+. Out the box volume is low. For each setting i put it on the one after the *warning*. Does its job.
Equalizer is my favorite over volume+... and yes the both work on ice cream. Works excellent.
So its just called equalizer??
Does it have some other options over the earpiece also?
Thanks guys. I've thrown a few thanks hits around too. = )
Cheers.
Equalizer by smart apps. Great app.
I use volume + and works great. I got the paid version. These are my settings and its loud I have to turn my phone down at work cuz when it rings its loud as hell lol.

Cool man thanks for the uploads dude!!
So I'm trying g to decide without knowing what one works aswell as what one is better.....dilemma!! Haha.
Thanks again guys. = )
One other thing, is the Gnex speaker capable of going louder without damage??
also make sure you go to sound settings > music effects and choose volume +. a lot of people who don't notice a difference in volume have missed that essential step

1- when i connect an earphones, the bass is really wonderful! does this feature exist on galaxy W?? thks a lot!
2- does it has a notification led for missing calls and sms? iread that it hasnt? nothing? even some tinny lights?
3- ring volume high enough? as strong as the wave1?
thks a lotttttt , im going to buy one tomorrowww!
hi!
1- as for me bass in stock player for my koss porta pro is weak, but situation changes when using some custom player like Winamp etc with normal EQ or DSP manager
2- noooo, we just have to enable that HUNGRY screen to see something happened or use some software like Vibrate notifier.. we can hope arco can finish cm9 for our device and we'll have such a feature, but now we have nothing...
3- dunno about wave1 but ringtone loudness is enough for me, but it's deeply personal
imho, the best way to know smth is to go to some shop nearby and ask to play with the device))

The audio ability got a very good mark in german reviews. But you should always be able to adjust, incase it is to low, the bass with an equalizer app(integrated in some music players).

The Samsung Galaxy series don't have LEDs for notifications, but there are mods which use the backlight LED of the softkeys to display the notifications. Unfortunately there is not yet a mod out for the Galaxy W as far as I know(I8150). But it should be possible!

on the i8150 development section, arco has already released an alpha version of cm9 for sgw, unless you're fond of using your camera and is always using a bt headset and/or quite specific about the location of the external sd, then you can go test it out, visuals is pretty fluid the last time i had it on my sgw, but we're positive that arco could have those other issues and the additional reported ones ironed out and release a beta version pretty soon

== this question popped up again.
Sammy is not going to port ICS on our SGW. This is for sure.
CM9 is the only solution. Thanks acro~
as for the bass its ok in SGW but if u wanna get the best bass out of SGW try applying beats audio mod and using sound equilizer (the best choice for me was poweramp) it will b amazing
---------- Post added at 07:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:24 AM ----------
as for the ring volume, its only problem is that it doesnt start high but in an increasing way but u shall b able to bypass that mess by applying a mod (i havent tried it yet for my SGW so im not sure if it really works )

Thread to increase all values of volume within phone!!

HELLO GUYS..
IM making this thread a little different then the others...This thread is designed to mod out the DEFAULT_GAIN.CONFG FILE...to everyone needs..I will attempt to help you all by making more specific mods to suit your needs,And we can help each other as well. Instead of this just having it increase all your volumes...I figured most just want one or two within it...like just "incall" speaker level.....or whatever else..
The Default_Gain.conf is located in SYSTEM/ETC
First off this is the "default" file in case you mess up or just need it.
http://www.mediafire.com/?qz8qo3oefx11r4e
When applying this file...SAVE YOUR OLD DEFAULT_GAIN.CONF FILE SOMEWHERE .... TAKE YOUR NEW FILE AND PUT IT IN SYSTEM/ETC SET PERMISSIONS AS THE OLD ONE...REBOOT AND MAkE A TEST CALL..USALLY VOICEMAIL IS EASIER...
Thanks to Edgabimbam and his thread for a reference.. Found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1931970
PLEASE HIT THANKS IF THIS HELPS !
THIS IS MODIFIED FILE SECTION:
1.(Incall earpiece) set at 60 instead of (default is 53)
http://www.mediafire.com/?haabhrx61th3348
2.(Incall earpiece & Incall loudspeaker] 59 level
http://www.mediafire.com/?0ro43df5f9t8dli
ALSO INCASE YOUR NOT AWARE THERE ACTUALLY IS A INCALL BOOST FOR YOUR EARPIECE....WHEN CALLING OUT...LOOK AT THE SCREEN ONCE IT CONNECTS..THERE IS A LITTLE VOLUME BOOST BUTTON WHICH INCREASES IT..MANY ARENT EVEN AWARE OF THIS...before applying this mod you may want to consider this???.
I'm happy with everything on mine except headphone volume. I'm almost exclusively on bt, which is fine, but have my earphones for when the bt dies, and the volume is very low.
Edit- your a busy fella, appreciate what you do for the community.

Ok..if your incall earpiece was to loud...I can show you what to edit...so you text test and play with settings...?...look for the proper field..then change the output level. Stock is usally 53... changing it a few up..will help big time..anything over 60 will get the crackle sound....heres some screen shots so you can try out different tweaks yourself...you may enjoy learning..
Heres where you can edit some cids..for example in this screen**** was incall earpiece....underneath it is incall speaker...which is the loud speaker.

Gain is too loud and when you are in disco or record loud music the sound was very bad
wit this high gain over 105. This was also a problem with stock 4,2 and 4,4 and all dev rooms.
Can you please tray to lower the gain at 88db.
PS: Sony experia z1 have great sound when record loud music. G2 have
bad sound wit high gain and full of noise. The low freq have also too much gain.
Play some music home at max and record and you will hear.

Hello,
I don't get it. For the Nexus 5 its much lower coz I can test. For this, my testers said it was alright. But i will consider it as well.

The sound is cracking and gain od mic is way tooo hight
The gain db is 105 a think. Standard "normal target" i think is 89db for mp3 music.
