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.
Regards,
/tilleke
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,
/tilleke
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...

Hi Dirk
so sieht man sich wieder
HP :-7.7db
RX:-6db
MPBST:+12db
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.

Hello,
been searching/investigating this problem for a while and still can't find a solution.
basically, when using the stock wired headset, I find the volume during a phone call far too loud and not loud enough when listening to mp3s / radio.
when in a call, using the volume button does not seem to make any difference.
any suggestions?
thanks in advance
Go to your music tab in Manila/TouchFlo. From the menu you can choose Audio Booster. This could solve your problem with the not loud enough mp3.
For the phone "too loud" problem you can go to the settings tab -> Sound. There you have two volume controls; Ringtone and System. Lowering the system could solve your problem. But lowering using the touch volume button (as your stock headset doesn't has volume controls if i'm right), should lower the sound during a phone call.
You can push the volume buttons on the left side of the phone. Problem with this is it jumps in big increments.
But it'll also change the volume of your ringtones as well. So what you can do is:
Settings tab -> Sound -> Turn "Single Volume" off
Now when pressing the hardware key, you'll see it bring up System & Ring Tabs. So you can control your music volume without changing the ringtone volume

I forget to mention this, thanks charlie
I have the following issue myself:
Regardless how set up (single volume on/OFF, System volume set to 20% or 100%) my in-call volume of voice, once the call has started is extremely LOUD, regardless of who calls and how loud they speak.
This is even more so, if I'm using the wired headset.
Using the side volume buttons during a call do show the volume animation AND the volume bar goes down, but the actual in-call volume doesn't change a bit.
This is maddeningly loud.
Is this how it should be working?
I have stock 6.5 ROM (WWE), no hacks.
Same problem here...
... any solutions?
I have single volume turned off, and regardless if I try to turn down "ring" or "system" volume, the headset stays extremely (uncomfortably) loud...
Cheers,
Jan
Having the same problem. Is there a fix?
Not sure if Volumex fixes it on the TP2, but on my TP1 and HD2 no such problem.
i have the same problem. Volumex doens't fix it.
It's incredible that there is no solution for this stupid problem.

My stock headset has a volume control, I gather yours doesn't have this feature?
no i haven't this features..
however i found the possible solution (it work for me), searching in other topic of this forum.
You mast edit the file audiopara3_TMO.csv (windows folder, it is hidden so you must use an explorer which allows to see the system hidden file like resco explorer).
basically you have in this file these lines:
F0,PHONE_HEADSET_VOL0,0,4000,4000,0,4000,C8,0,2000,0,780,FF9A,2580..
F1,PHONE_HEADSET_VOL1,1,4000,4000,0,4000,1F4,0,2000,0,780,FF9A...
F2,PHONE_HEADSET_VOL2,2,4000,4000,0,4000,5DC,0,2000,0,780,FF9A...
F3,PHONE_HEADSET_VOL3,3,4000,4000,0,4000,1388,FFFF,2000,0....
F4,PHONE_HEADSET_VOL4,4,4000,4000,0,4000,2EE0,FFFF,2000,...
F5,PHONE_HEADSET_VOL5,5,4000,4000,0,4000,61A8,FFFF,2000...
the most important value is the sixth (in hexadecimal) which is the volume value. if you use the volume level on the left side of the phone the volume of the the headset changes according the value reported in this file. I edit these values according to my "ears" ranging between c8(volume=200) and 61A8(volume=25000), and i clearly feel the change in the volume when i use the headset (you need an hex-decimal converter, there are several online)
actually (as suggested in other topic) you must point in the registry editor to this file, creating the value
HKLM\drivers\builtin\wavedev\AcousticFile and set this value to \windows\AudioPara3_TMO.csv (or rename the file as u want but with extention csv)
After editing soft reset.
In this file there are the other volume values for calls without headset, with the bt, and with the carkit. these values are in the lines
F6,PHONE_HANDSFREE_VOL0...
F12,PHONE_EARCUPLE_VOL0...
F18,PHONE_BTHEADSET...
F19,PHONE_CARKIT.
i suppose that to change the volume values on must changes the sixth parameter as in the previous case.
This works for me, and solve the problem.
I link the original discussion which helps me to find the solution:

I know this is probably stating the obvious, but if you press the volume button and you see the volume bar you can always adjust it to your liking by swiping your finger up and down on the volume bar. This way you can get the inbetween volumes between too loud and too low.
Does anyone know how to change the volume of the audible selection tone? It's the one that makes a sound when ever you press something on the screen.
I swapped out the default one with the one from the Galaxy S, but it's so faint I can't hear it. I've tried adjusting all the setting with sound manager from the market but have had no luck...

Try: Settings>Sound>Volume - options are presented there.
Post back whether this gets you where you want/need to be.
Absent that, have you tried the volume rocker on the side of the device?
I've tried all the volume settings, nothing seems to make it louder...
Figured it out, apparently it's controlled by the 'Media volume'.
Sorry for bumping an old thread but this might help someone.
I'm running Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread, and had an extremely loud "audible selection" volume. The fix was so simple but I didn't realise it... I just went to Settings > Sounds > Volume and saw "Ringtone" and "Multimedia". Adjusting these did nothing. But I had to SCROLL DOWN the tiny little dialog box and there was revealed a "system sounds" slider!
Success!
