Hi,
i have one question before i return my phone.
Android in general is quite useless for serios music listening and so on because you need to root your phone to unleash the real audio potential or install 3rd party apps to controll the volume.
So far so bad. If you install fine volume control you're able to adjust volume in 1% steps. Besides the ugly interface it doesn't affect the call volume on the earpiece.
Every Android except Galaxy Ace with Android 2.3.5 is way too loud on the lowest volume regarding phone calls. The minimum volume for phone calls on the HTC One X+ is 20% as media could be turned down one more or two steps.
Why on earth is the in-call volume not better manageable?

This was brought up in your previous thread. There was no reason to post it a second time. I believe the consensus there was install another ROM or return the phone.

I spend most my time in a library with in-ear headphones and the lowest volume is just too loud for me. Is there any way to change the volume rocker's (or slider's) increments?
I'm using Vegan 5.1.1
Sorry Hachi, I dont have an answer for you.
But I am bumping this post up because I have the same problem.
Also took 5 minutes of searching to find this post.
Has anyone found a solution to this yet?
Thanks
Tnt Lite. I had vegan before and lowest setting is still loud. Tnt Lite works. Just do a backup first and try TNT
I would also like to know if there is a solution for this. I am currently running VEGAN 5.1 and when I listen to music only the first half of the media volume does anything. From half to full I dont really notice a difference. I would like to be able to properly spread it out so when I turn it up the max volume on the screen is also the max volume of the device.
I am using TNT Lite 4.4 and noticed the volume is very low until the last setting, not a linear curve.
try using Quick Settings from the market. it allows you to tweak the volume a whole lot more than the stock settings menu.

This does help with system level volume items, but as far as media being played even at 1/10 the volume is too loud.
Fortunately using my blue-tooth headphones I have found I can use the in-line volume control to make it a reasonable level. I just don't know what I will do on an airplane.
Can you keep your BT awake while the screen is off?

Running vegan 5.1
I just tested with locking the screen and had no problems playing music with the stock player, tested for around 12 minutes. After that i set my sleep to 2 minutes, started a song and walked away with the screen still on. The screen went to sleep but the music kept playing, tested for two songs.
Good question and sorry I don't have an answer, but I'm glad you asked. I've seen huge volume differences in different apps. For example, Angy Birds is too loud for quiet settings even at the lowest volume level while some web sites are too low even at the highest settings.
Try the free poweramp app in the market. Go into the eq settings and adjust output. This solved a volume issue for me
Is there any way to modify the software on the ThunderBolt to allow for an increased volume limit that would make the speaker louder for low volume apps and maybe even have a hack to enable SRS to be always on, since its currently limited to just the Music/Video/Gallery app
I listen to Sirius XM and some other streaming apps at work and my volume is unsatisfactory compared to what i had with my Droid Incredible, and seeing how we have a larger speaker with SRS capabilities, I think this would be handy for ThunderBolt owners if we could somehow get a hack for this.
+1
For music and stuff i use Power amp which has a built in eq and a volume booster.
But as far as streaming and anything that you can't use power amp for I also think our phones could/should be louder.
I have a hard time hearing people during phone calls and am constantly holding the vol up button trying to make it louder. I have heard people complain about theirs being to loud but can't remember which rom thread I read it in.
Is this even possible to make our phones speakers louder?
While searching for a fix I found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1047241
I just dl it and have yet to install it but thought you might b interested. Lemme know your thoughts about it and if it helps.
I will do the same as soon as I get my crying baby to sleep
I think the thunderbolt volume and vibrate is very weak. When I set the ringer on low I can hardly here it. When I set it at full volume it doesn't seem loud enough, especially when driving. Is there any way to improve this?

In call and speakerphone volume are far too quiet for me also, adyrenlyn's kernel helped but was unstable on my phone and I can't find the right place to edit the volume myself for imoseyon's kernel
Hi all,
I have a question about the S2. I have the SR and I use the stock music player to listen to music while studying.
I used to have an iphone which was an awesome music player but I find the SR has one huge problem I never had with my iphone. On the iphone, you could control what the max volume was and there were plenty of intermediate settings in the middle.
On the SR, once I get to the 3rd level of loudness (0= mute, 1= 1 press of the up volume key) it is ridiculously loud to the point where it literally hurts my ears and i like loud music. So basically I have 2 options of volume and the sweet spot is always somewhere in the middle.
I'm using the stock iphone headphones because i like the way they fit and the in-line remote. I think these have pretty low resistance so I get why the volume gets loud quickly but it's ridiculous to only have 2 usable volume levels.
Does the S2 have this same problem? If not I will definitely look into switching.
Thanks!
All my other volumes on my SGS3 LTE 9305 is set to max. But when I plugin a set of headphones the phone somehow defaults to a lower volume in the headphones. And I dont want that . But is there any way to change it so that the headphone volume consistanly remains at max and doesn't automatically reduce it self to half whenever you plug in headphones.
It does this so that you don't blow your ears off, it's a safety feature and one that many people like. Have no idea how to turn it off. I've only seen the option in CM10/AOKP Roms
1: I don't like it
2: kicking the volume down to half is just stupid. Its not that high, even at full volume
I just hope someone knows how to either disable it or hack it off

Saying the volume isn't high is subjective. I for one have never needed to run my M2's at full volume on the S3. I'd go deaf. I'm sure there is a solution to disable it though. Worse case scenario? Flash a AOSP/AOKP Rom
Fix low earpiece volume during calls the easy way. Been looking for a fix and there was nothing, then I started flashing all sorts of sound mods and although they did improve the speakers for sound and music and speakerphone, the sound ftom the earpiece was still too low sometimes even in quiet room (during calls with people with bad microphones).
Finally a there was an easy fix, download an app from the play store called "Volume Controll". It will present you with more elaborate volume controls than the default built in sonys controls. Here just bump your in call volume to 80% and voila, you'll get louder in call earpiece volume without flashing media profiles xml or similar hack. You can also controll the loudnes while in call with volume keys.
Posted just because I found nothing about this and this is an essential smartphone function, almost exchanged my phone for an LG G3 cause of this single issue.
Would you mind posting the Play Store link?

Here it is, I believe other similar apps can do this. When prompted to upgrade after trial is over just tap outside the dialog box and continur using as normal. I turned off all notifications to hide profile switcher.
