Hi,
I have an S4 mini (i9195) that's still going strong and in fact working better than ever since I installed Lineage 17.1.
An elderley relative was looking for a similar small phone and I got her a refurbished i9195i, which I've also installed Lineage on. Everything seems to work fine, but one issue is that my aunt is going a bit deaf and finds the call volume to be low compared to her previous phone, even when its on full.
Is there any way to increase the volume? I've gone through (I think) all the settings in Lineage but can't find any additional volume options in the call settings. Is there any mod/hack that could increase the call volume for the i9195i, and if so, would I need root access to do it?
Thanks
a bit late to this but in case you were unaware she could just turn on speaker right on the phone screen. Or use headphones as I do.

I've had my DHD since they came out last November and I've had no real issues with it in all that time. However, I've now got a hugely annoying issue with sound where all sound, ringtones, music etc, comes through distorted at max volume where before it was clear. The obvious suggestion is to turn the volume down but even two steps down from max. volume it still happens depending on the sound coming from the speaker. I don't know how else to describe it except perhaps tearing and that doesn't sound very accurate to what is happening.
I don't remember when this first started happening but I'm pretty sure it was a few months ago and I was using a Sense based ROM at the time. The issue got so bad that instead of playing distorted sound in Sense it would just cut out and all sound would stop for what seemed like two or three minutes. Switching to CM7 has prevented it cutting out but the distortion is still there so I don't think it's related to a specific ROM unless it's a volume boost that was done over all ROM builds. As anyone who owns a DHD will know the audio has always been a little on the quiet sound but the level I have the volume at now is below what I'm comfortable with.
Can anyone offer a suggestion on how to fix this audio issue? It's almost to the point now where I'm thinking of going back to stock and sending it in for repairs. Don't make me do that.. you know it's not a fun process.
I'm only replying to this in case anyone has similar issues so they can see my resolution. Unfortunately it's gotten worse, to the point that I lost all sound on all ROMs bar a few squeaks from the speaker. The in-call speaker worked fine and I could make calls with no issue but no notifications, alerts, alarms etc would sound on the external speaker.
I flashed back to stock Gingerbread and I've sent my phone off to HTC, via T-Mobile UK, to be repaired. I'm also hoping they fix the misaligned camera issue too. I'm a little worried because despite trying I could not get S-ON back before I took it in but it's using stock bootloader and an HTC RUU ROM. Anyway, I'm basically saying that it's a bad sign and will have to go in for repairs. Hopefully this will save anyone from wondering in the future if they get the same sort of issue.
I'm having the same problem.. I think.. if you are talking about the speaker that you make the phonecalls with.. not the "external" speaker.. that works fine..
it has a crackling sound with mine.
Sounds like the external speaker is busted. You already send it to repair, probably that's the only solutions.
Hi Guys
I have this really annoying problem, when i get a call the volume is really low. It seems as if the person on the other side is whispering. I have to usually turn the car volume to maximum for it to be audible. However, when the call is terminated there is this really loud disconnect tone which makes me nearly deaf. my older galaxy s3 is louder than htc one even with half the volume level.
Playing music via bluetooth is absolutely fine.
i am not sure if anyone else has faced a similar problem with the HTC one M8.
I drive a Hyundai i30 and using an HTC One M8 bought on a contract from Vodafone.
Please help

I have this exact problem. Brand new HTC One m8 and only the in call volume is low. If I move the rocker up and down the slider moves but the volume stays extremely low. I have to put my radio on max just to here ANYTHING.
As far media volume, it's extremely loud, it's only the in call volume that's low for me on bluetooth. anyone know of a file or fix or rom that fixes this?

Interestingly I have exactly the same issue with my new M9 with Kia Sportage Sat Nav unit which is probably the same as the i30 unit in the first post. Have latest firmware installed in the car sat nav.
As you say, bluetooth streaming of radio/music is fine! As for the end of call beep, very loud!
Sony Xperia Z2 and Samsung Note 4 was fine in same car.
Very annoying indeed
Low BT Call Volume
Hey Everyone:
I have been having this EXACT same problem for months now. ANY Bluetooth device that I am connected to sounds fine as far as Music and Streaming, but when it comes to IN CALL BT VOLUME, its PATHETIC. I scoured the web and there are no real answers or solutions for this. Just to save my own sanity, is everyone else ONLY experiencing this for phone calls only as I am??? The only way to get a decent amount of volume while on a call is to be paired to a device that allows you to turn the sound up SUPER HIGH, such as in my car, otherwise most of these smaller BT speakers that work for phone calls also have you capped at a certain volume level.
I am beginning to think that this is a massive hardware problem as I am seeing various M8 users having this issue on all variants as well Verizon, TMOUS, etc. etc.
I think our only option is to do warrenty exchanges?! The other thing that scares me is that some M9 users are also complaining about this too!!!!!!
I thought perhaps it might be time to upgrade to the M9 but whats the point if this stupid BT In-Call volume issue keeps happening?!
It is SO frustrating
i have had 2 m8s & both had same fault
Had same problem with m8. In call volume very low. Music audio perfect.
Moved to samsung s7 bt works very well.
Moved to htc m10, great phone. Bluetooth problem back! In call low volume. Music audio clear and loud.
HTC wake up, fix this problem. NOW!
Hi Friends,
I was wondering if there is a way to increase the volume of the note 10 because unfortunately the assigned volume to it it's very poor, i am been with Saumsung phones since the first note edge and if i remember right it used to have the same problem and there is been always a way to increase the volume in all of them, so please if any of you know how to do it without have to root it i will really appreciate if you guide me on how to do it and if there is no other way without root well i will have to do it because as i say the volume of the note 10+ is very poor as its flash light when i have to use it as flash light, the note 8 flash light was very strong i loved it.
Well please if there is a way on how to increase the volume in the note 10+ please let me know...
Try V4A or, if rooted, try modding the mixer_gains.xml file
Either there is something wrong with your N10+, or there is something wrong with my Note 8, because I have both and here my Note 10+ is much brighter than my old N8, which I gave to my wife, not even close. As far as sound volume goes, there is a setting to adjust different source levels and for example on mine system sounds were halfway up, other sources at 70-80%, all from factory, maybe yours is not set correctly. Also there is equalizer, which again is normally set in the middle for all frequencies, you can push that all the way up and try to play with Dolby settings: with Dolby on sound is more spread out over volume range, so quiet sounds are too low sometimes, without dolby sound is more compressed, so should sound louder.
You can try volume booster app, there are many, but look for the one from goodev, in playstore it works sistem wide, and even boosts the sound for the akg earphones , be careful with the amount of boost, try from 5% at first
I personally miss the speaker phone boost button that the note 9 had when it launched, before the UI update. That option was conveniently located at the bottom left of the dialer screen if I remember correctly. After I updated to the new UI the option for speaker phone volume boost went bye bye. Hopefully they bring it back with a later update. For the life of me I have no idea why they would get rid of that very useful function.
Even my note 10+ speaker volume absolutely is garbage. Gotta practically put the phone next to my ear while driving to hear.

Hi. Its been around 3 years. Are you still using Note 10 + ?.
Did you fix your call speaker volume?
Hello,
I installed lineageos 16 on my Samsung A3 (2017). Everything worked out fine and I could finsish the installation successful. I used the phone already for some hours without a problem. Suddenly the speakers did a terribly loud and cracking noise, when I entered some things via the touch display. Always when I touched somethign on the display the cracking noise appeared. When I turned off the volume (and put it in vibration mode) of ingoing calls it was gone! So its not too annoying so far... But now, always when I want to listen to some music or so on, via loudspeaker, it is just terrible loud and a really bad sound.
What is the problem? Can anyone help?
Thank you very much!
@stellarcrew, I think you should post in your rom's thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/samsung-a-series-2017/development/rom-lineageos-16-0-t3883495
Try to find put another los build for ur device
Hi,
I'm using a Samsung S9 (Exynos) . Since a few months the earpiece volume of the device is really low. I have checked the volume of the earpiece by dialing *#0#* and the earpiece is actually in good condition and the volume is really high. However, during calls and playing voice notes, the volume of the earpiece is really low. Is there any way to boos the volume of the earpiece? I have rooted my device recently to achieve this. I have looked at certain tutorials online and they suggest to change the "mixer_paths.xml" file of the device. However, I tried this and it is not working. Is there an alternative way? Can someone help me with this issue?
