I still have the stock OS .....2.3.4.... I did root it but did not unlock the bootloader. I don't remember when it started happening but after I rooted it sometime. I rooted it via the One-Click Root script. Anyhow, when I call someone, the ringing is low volume, but after the person picks up the volume increases to normal. The ringing is so low that I can't even tell if it is ringing when I am driving. Anyone have any solutions. I have tried pressing the volume on the side of the phone but no luck

I've only recently got my sdaII and all was fine with it to start with but its developing a very annoying problem. When someone calls the phone rings fine but when i answer the call the volume drops to virtually nil and its very difficult to hear the caller. If i call someone its fine for a bit then again drops the call volume (the volume adjuster shows that it should be up about 3/4 of max).If i use my bluetooth headset everything works fine. I've hard reset the phone but its not cured the problem. Has anyone experienced this or got any ideas on how to cure the problem? Is the speaker on its last legs?
I have a tmo Vibrant. For some reason the in call volume (the volume at which I hear the person that calls me talking) keeps getting reset to zero. I find that when I answer, I often (not always) have to turn the volume back up and say "can you repeat that?".
I am using Vibrant9, but I had the problem with the stock ROM as well. Does anyone else have this problem? Any idea what is causing the volume to reset?
Do you use the volume keys to turn down the media volume? I've noticed that the voice call volume level seems to be affected by the media volume. I would love to see these separated.

Hi,
I'm on Galaxy S2; Android 2.3.3; KE7.
When using headphones on my device the volume is great for music, videos, youtube, and even skype. However for some reason it's only around half of that level when calling (even tough the volume is set to maximum).
I've done some google research and found out that it's quite a common issue with this phone. A workaround has been found by using some codes. However, it is not a permanent solution.
I've found a post which says that someone had called Samsung and they acknowledged the issue and will send them a new phone where this issue has been fixed.
1) Has anyone found a permanent solution to increasing the volume of the call when on headset?
2) I've also found a post where someone says that apparently Samsung will fix this issue in Android 2.3.4. Can you confirm this? When will this be available? If it's longer than 1-2 weeks I will have to send my phone for a refund/exchange (although I love it).
Your advice on the above is much appreciated.
Hi, I've done some further research and I think I've found the solution:
First make sure that your sound is on (as you can't access the volume settings in the silent mode) -> press the Menu button -> Settings -> Sound -> Volume -> and then increase the 'Incoming call' volume.
I've just tested the call volume when on headset and it has been increased to a more that enough level. Great. My love to this phone is growing
Now I have to figure out how to disable the camera shutter sound....but that's a question for another post...
It seems that the solution above worked for some time but now my phone started to deliver very low call volume when on headphones. Maybe it's due to the Android update, I don't know.
However I found that the issue is related to the media volume. For example when I listen to music and turn the volume low then this affects the incoming call volume and it becomes low as well.
The solution to this problem seems to be: make sure that the music volume is max before you want to make a call. I've just tested it an is seems to do the trick.
It would be great to hear to another solutions to this problem for unrooted phones.
Heard this app works well,

Just upgraded to ICS. I had rooted GB and I used Voodoo app to save the root. Everything thing went well except my phone ringtone. When I get a call my phone only vibrates. I have gone over the sound settings as well as turning on off the vibrate mode. When I turn off the vibrate mode, I get nothing when someone calls. I did the hard reset to no avail. My notification tones are working fine. I can also listen to the music. Any help???????
I'm having a weird issue with the volume on this phone. I always keep my volume controls at maximum unless I need to change it later, but with this phone, even though I know the volume is at max, when i start a call, the call volume immediately drops lower and i have to turn it back up mid-call. It also drops the headset volume after unplugging a 3.5mm cable. I'm assuming that's in case you're listening to music with headphones and accidentally pull it out, so you don't end up blasting music in the middle of your office, but i use it in my car and it's an inconvenience to have to turn it back up every time i unplug it.
does anyone know of a fix for this, or did i miss a sound option for this somewhere?

The S3 had the same thing with the headset volume drop. I hate it cause I always keep it on the same volume for my car when I plug it in. I was never able to find a fix for the S3 besides ROMing so hopefully something comes for the note deuce.

Yeah, it is really annoying. Not a bad feature, just let us turn it off if we need to! Ugh.
I found several volume control apps/widgets that feature "volume locking". i'm going to try that, but now problem is the volume controls on the side are also locked and you can only control the volume through the app, also very inconvenient...
Success! I can confirm that VolumeManager can lock individual volume streams from changes based on criteria, including plugging in and unplugging the headset! It's also good for the call volume as I never turn it down anyway, i just keep that stream locked at all times.

I tried VolumeManager and put the keep setting on and the volume still changes
