Hello!
I got my S20+ (SM-G985F) a few weeks ago and the alarm clock, notifications, and ringtone volume on my phone is too high. Compared to my old phone (LG V20), the minimum volume is equal to 50% of the maximum volume in my old phone. The minimum volume should be barely audible. This is a big problem for me, as I don't want to be woken up to loud sounds, and I don't want every room I'm in to be blasted with sound every time I get a notification or a call.
Here is what I tried so far:
* Installed "Sound Assistant" from the galaxy store. It doesn't do anything for the alarm volume, and the notifications and ringtone volume, even when it's 1/100, while it's better, it's still too high for some situations.
* I set the built-in EQ all the way down, it doesn't reduce the volume.
* I used an external EQ app (Equalizer FX) to turn everything down to -10db, which does help with the alarm clock, notifications and ringtone volume, but it also affects the media volume and makes it too quiet, so I have to disable it if I want to watch youtube for example.
Did anyone encounter this issue or have suggestions on how to fix it? Thanks!
I understand your problem. But if I choose e.g. Asteroid as the alarm sound and set it to lowest volume, it is really calm and pleasant to my ears, and I am quite sensitive to noise too.
The only possible way to maybe get a different volume control would be a Custom ROM like LineageOS I guess.

Running LeeDroid with volume steps set to 'Finest' (not sure if this is relevant) and the notification and ringtone volumes are still quite loud even when set to minimum.
I like to set the volumes to just loud enough to alert me while dozing but not loud enough to wake me when sleeping. Can't do it
I know I can select different tones and create audio profiles but I want this phone to work how I want it to, just like my good old Desire did/does.
Is there a mod/hack to alter the min/max volumes?
Upgraded to LeeDrOiD 6.4.0 and having the same issue.
Anyone with any ideas? We can control the level of auto screen brightness, can the same be done to control the volume steps?
I can't seem to turn the volume low enough at night to not be disturbing!
I recently received a replacement Galaxy Nexus (my original power button broke). I am having an issue with the new phone where my old phone worked fine--and I think I have found a solution that may help others if they are having this problem.
When listening to media, either music via PowerAmp or podcasts via DoggCatcher, the ringtone for an incoming call is reduced to a point that is almost inaudible. I can tell there is an incoming call, because the media stops, but that is unacceptable. If I stop the media but keep the ringer at the same volume, an incoming call rings at a much louder (and satisfactory volume). For some reason, playing media is reducing the volume of the ringtone.
I found a solution that seems to be working for me. I noticed that while adjusting volumes in the volume settings control panel, the volume would be reduced but adjusting the volume would return it to normal. To solve the problem I set up a tasker profile that will adjust the volume on the event of an incoming call. The tasker profile looks like this:
Context: Event > Phone Ringing, Hardware > Headset Plugged (otherwise I think this would make vibrate worthless)
Task: Ringer Volume: Level 2 (anything else seems much too loud, but I will have to try it out).
Anyone else having this problem? Know the cause? Other solutions?
Is there any way to increase both the notification and ringtone volumes? even when set to max, i find both to be extremely quiet. when i turn up the volume to 100% on a video, its extremely loud, how come notifications dont come that loud? its like 50% volume.
anyone?
My problem is that even the lowest volume setting proves to be way too loud for notifications. I searched for this problem and found that the app "light flow lite" (an xda app which primarily controls the flashing of the LED light) might help. It does have sound settings as well as light settings but I could not figure out how to set it so that my voice call ringer played a bit louder and my notifications played a bit softer.
I saw a setting to separate the ringer volume from the notification volume but when I did that I got no notification sound at all.
I guess I either need another way to handle this OR some very specific directions to do what I want to do with the Light Flow Lite app. I want a lower notification volume than the lowest setting and a bit louder ringer. The very lowest volume setting disturbs everyone around me. I realize I could look for a different sound and if I have to I will do that, I guess.
TIA
Hey,
Lately I have noticed there is a sound/volume issue with the alams from the Google Clock app.
I understand the volume is poor on the Mate 20 - but this issue is a bit different.
When an alarm first sounds, it seems to start at a very low volume, then after a few seconds (maybe 5 or 10, up to around 20) the sound crackles and the volume jumps to the propoer volume.
I have the 'Gradually Increase Volume' setting to 'Never'.
My fear is that the alarm will sound, and the volume will stay low and I will miss the alarm.
Has anyone else experienced this trouble?
Thanks for any help
