[BUG] Media Volume dependent on In call volume

I've noticed that media volume is being affected by in call volume.
Many times it happens I'm listening to music when a call comes, which being too loud (since i'm using my earphones) I reduce it by lowering the in call volume. After the call end the media volume gets reduced and it doesn't go up even if you max it out, although it can be lowered...
The remedy to fix it is make a dummy call and max out the in call volume, dis-connect and voila you're media volume is back up which can be lowered as desired...
Its not a serious bug as its temporary fix easy to apply but since most of the major android bugs on HD2 have been ironed out, so if developer has the time it would be great if they can look into it.
Also this a kernel/sound module bug, as I've seen it persist across different ROMS by different chefs. Yhough I have not tried Sense, but it present in both CM7 and MIUI roms whatever I tried so far..If some sense user can confirm, it would be helpful as these roms have different kernel...

I m currently using the ROM in my signature and i give a negative confirmation. Meaning in my HD2 and ROM i have faced no such issues. The media volume is independent of the In-Call volume.
Btw i admit once i noticed this bug when i was trying a MIUI rom.

Yes it exists. You can verify it.
1. Install Volume control
2. Play any music
3. Modify the InCall volume.

Yes even I think this might be specific to MIUI Roms.
Can anybody verify the same with AOSP roms?

So sense roms doesnt have this bug, it seems...
Well i remember having faced a similar issue when i was typhoons cm7 rom around a month or two back

I have also observed this 'bug'. My initial thought was that the DSP manager (I'm currently on CM ROM) does not restore the correct profile after hang up.

No bug on jw-miui. Tested like this: launch music, volume set to max
Did a call, adjusted in call volume to low.
Hang up, miui music start to play with its full volume (just like i set it before).
Second test was with low music volume. It works too. So I can't confirm the bug.

Try this optimized ROM

@lion, tried them all as stated in original post but thanks for the info..
@rio, if your rom didnt have the words 'rio' and 'blacknote' on the UI them maybe but what makes yours better?

I have a low volume only in some calls, the other is strong and clear. It's as if the phone, sometimes, forget your volume settings and we must tap the volume keys for to remind it. I have fw XXKLA2 rooted and it's the same as XXKK1.

i wonder if theres a service code available like the i9000 has that you up the volume..

I used 2.3.6 I8150DXKL1 DXLA2, rooted.
Then installed volume+ (free on market) set to volume level +4, afterwards installed volume+ v1.7.4.1 (download from 4shared) set to volume level +15.
Yes, feel better

thanks mate ,i'll try that..

But Volume+ doesn't allow you to adjust the volume of the earpiece capsule. The "speaker" refers to the external speaker.

this app has 3 options , speaker,headset and bluetooth so the 'earpiece' isnt adjustable...
any other ideas anyone..

maybe amplified earphones?

well i've tried the app and it doesnt seem to do anything on my phone , the in call volume is still low...
surely someone knows the service code hack so i can adjust the volume ...
[btw the i9000 code does not work]

update...
i've tried a 2.3.5 rom and all the 2.3.6 roms and all the de-toxed roms and still the in call volume is low..tried all the apps on the market with no change..
can anyone help with a code or a method of increasing the volume otherwise my 'w' will have to be sold and an iphone brought..

You can try this, it now supports in call volume , its stil experimental, but it wont brick your phone

And ofcourse take the Dropbox version its free

thanks gerard ,i'll try it..

app installed and not a lot of difference...i'm just wondering if when i had the phone unlocked [by a market stall] that this unlocking made the ear speaker low in volume, any thoughts?

does anyone have an update for this problem? I am still having the low in call volumes. are there any dialer codes for this phone to tinker the system settings?

[Q] Call Volume Low

I´ve just purchased a Samsung Galaxy W I8150B phone and I found the speaker volume very low during a call.
I switched the all volumes controllers to the max, but I still can hear much.
I read many treats about codes to access the volume configurations but none has worked so far. I couldn’t even enter conf., the phone keep the typing page.
I tried those:
*#0206*8378#
*#8999*8378#
*#*#197328649#*#*
*#6984125*#
*#32489#
*#197328640*#
Does anyone knows the specific code?
Thanks!

There are already several topics about this issue, but no solution so far

Volume was low for me in 2.3.5 rom, but seems to have improved in 2.3.6.

The trick is to lower the volume and increase it back up during in call.. Got this from another forum..

I have this problem with skype(the free to call version) with the headphones in I have tried turning up the volume in the call it don't make a difference.
I have a Bluetooth headset and that works ok,I am using CM10 its here>>> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1990795 ..

HTC One X - Mod to decrease the Ringer/Tone and in-call volume in earpiece mode?

Folks,
My apology if this had been asked before.
In earpiece mode:
I always find that even at the lowest level set on HTC One X for the incoming Ringer/Tone and In-Call volume, it's still way too loud for the comfort and health of my ears!
Is there anywhere or anyone here in XDA has a mod that modifed the default lowest volume level to even lower?
Thank you very much in advance!
Cheers!:fingers-crossed:

You kidding me ... I need a mod to increase the in-call earpiece volume ... its a mess after you have used Galaxy S3 ...

Nope he is not kidding.
There is an android bug present for some of us (most of us with good hearing ). On every phone, rom, android version. Where the in call volume is horrible loud.
It gets sometimes down when you first make it UP UP UP, and then down.
Saw some fixes with android codes, but they didn't work for my one X.
Also the reverse mode to make it louder I believe they already exist, you can check the forums.

[Q] Low mic volume on official nightly of cm11

When I talked to someone on phone. No matter what headphones I use. They say I sound very quiet through them and can't hear me. Any fixes?

I am in the same boat with the DU 4.3 rom. Anyone find an answer to this, could another kernel help?

Same here.
Bump, I have the same problem, mic is low for some reason and people can't hear me very well. Turning on speaker phone seems to fix it for me though. odd

low mic volume
hello there. I experience the same issue on cm11 ( same with cm10 , slimkat ) I tried the CM utility for maxim in call volume but that didn't boost the microphone.
All people complain they can barely hear what I say.
What is there to be done? I:crying:
must mention Boeffla Sound Control app again did not help and had no problem with the microphone on the 4.3 stock ROM on my S3.
Currently using, fresh install:
CM: 11-20140706-nightly-i9300
Android: 4.4.4
Baseband:i9300XXUGNA8
Kernel: 3.0.64-cm-g5e96596

I don't know if this is a general fix but I managed to solve it for the above mentioned rom.
I installed the CM10.1-10.2 vol_tweak.apk ( but this only didn't fix it on its own) and after rebooting modified HEADSET, SPEAKER, BLUETOOTH, USB/DOCK in DSP MANAGER
HEADSET:
Compression is enabled, Efect strength moderate, bass boost enabled Equalizer is enabled with vocal booster, loudness compensation is strongest, headset virtual room effect is set to large room
SPEAKER:
bass boost is on, effect strength is moderate. equalize is enabled with vocal booster.
BLUETOOTH
compression is enabled, effect is slight, bass boost is enabled, with moderate effect strength, equalizer is enabled, with vocal booster
USB/DOCK
Compression is enabled, effect is moderate, bass boost is enabled, with extreme effect strength, equalizer is enabled, with vocal booster , loudness compensation is disabled, room is set to large room.
Hope it will work for everyone with the same issue I had. If there is somebody who can better explain what the modified setting please reply

This is a known bug with all cm based 4.2 and above Roms. There is no fix for it, if there us I have yet to see or hear of it.
Theres one simple trick you can do to get the volume normal.
During your phone call press volume down then back up (just one tic) it should make the call volume much louder. It works on all cm11 based Roms.

Up until now I had no problem with the volume using the settings mentioned above. There is no need to push the volume button up&down.
