The volume on my S3 i9300 is constantly going down, eventually to mute. Not instantaneously going to mute though, but the volume is gradually lowering until completely muting the device. I noticed then that if I adjust the headphone jack a little bit the problem won't happen anymore, until that is the jack rotates a little bit and the problem shows up again.
I jog with my phone in an armband so maybe that's sweat but I'm thinking that one should already be accounted for Samsung because I'm hardly the only person that exercises with their phone. Anybody has this issue? I was searching around Tasker to see if there is a way I could lock the volume at a determined level but I can't figure it out. Any suggestions?
use a different pair

it sounds like handset volume is too low on my phone but i'm still not sure yet since i've only had the phone for 2 days. it's definitely lower than the htc incredible's handset volume by a decent amount. there is also a very slight hiss but i think that's normal.
i bought the optimus t on ebay so i won't be able to take it to t-mobile and get it exchanged for a new one. i've been trying to search for a root solution to make it louder but i can't find anything. the one solution i have found was only for samsung android phones. any ideas on what i should/could do?
You mean the earpiece volume while on call or the speaker phone ergo the ringer?
Both are realised thru the same speaker. While the earpiece volume is pretty high, the quality leaves a lot to be desired. Its a bit shrill and piercing. Strangely enuf the same speaker performs very nicely for music playback!
You sure you maxed out the volumes?
i mean the phone's earpiece. i have no problem with any of the other volume levels and i have made sure i maxed out the volume for everything and then i'm going to see if they are too loud after a couple of days and adjust them accordingly.
Up until now I'd always been puzzled by people saying how quiet they found the headphone output of the SGSII and they they wished it was a more normal volume level. Mine had always been plenty loud enough to drown out my Metro ride to work in the morning, even dropped down a notch or two. Yesterday I discovered a possible reason to fit both findings.
I'd been messing with my phone before heading out to work, put in the headphones, sparked up some music and.....quiet. The max volume I could crank out of it with the headphones in must have been about 60% of the normal. Whatever I did, wherever I went in the phone to alter settings and whatever values were showing made no change to push it back up again.
Today I turned the phone on, unlocked it, dropped the headphones in and played the same album and it was the usual 'loud' volume again.
This convinces me that there is a set sequence of actions that causes one quieter volume level to be set as headphone maximum and another that allows a more decent top end. Both findings on volume to this point by others seem to be right.
I'm trying to reproduce the steps (nothing outlandish) which led to my temporary trip to ear-protecting quiet land but have been unable to so far. I'm putting headphones in before and after pushing the volume to max, trying this before or after going into the music app and/or starting the music playing but obviously there are quite a few permutations - all of which are quite normal usage and liable to be done by many people.
I'm posting this so anybody else can also have a mess around and maybe find it before me, helping a few others in the process.
Did you ever find the solution to this?
In addition to the first post I think it is remarkable that you can get different levels of audio output by using different headphones or speakers. Sure all the models available differ a bit but never had such a difference.
settings->sound->volume: 4 sliders there. I once read that sometimes "media" and "incoming call" get mixed up. I sometimes have a really hard time to hear people on the phone using headphones.
Been having the problem for a few days now and not sure if it's hardware or software related. So ear speaker doesn't work most of the time. When I make or answer a call, I'll have to switch to Speaker mode. But then, Speaker mode doesn't work sometimes in neither Call or Media modes. Pisses me off. Is anybody else having the problem or should I just get an exchange?
I think the problem might have started after I flashed the RM-819 firmware, then back to RM-801.
Thanks.
What's your volume set at? One of the weak points of WP7 is that it has a global volume control that affects everything.

Definitely not a volume issue. Speaker will sometimes stop working in the middle of a call or just using the phone. There's no static or any weird sound that would indicate broken speakers though. When it works, it's very clear.
I woke up this morning and decided to clean the earphone jack. Everything seems to be fine for now. Maybe that was it... a dirty earphone jack?
I just got my new EVO LTE. I rooted it and running meanrom 6.0. I've been having trouble with my sound? When I plug it into my car I turn the volume all the way up and its still not that loud and no bass kicks in. When I plug in my EVO 3d I turn the volume all the way up on the phone and you can hear way better. Is there something wrong with my EVO? Or is there a setting preventing it to reach its maximum volume?
I don't think anything is wrong with your phone the volume just sucks. You could try an app volume+ didn't really help me but it might for you.
the headset volume is pretty low, I've played with the settings to see if I can get more of a decent output but it starts to sound distorted. The only thing I can think of is this trend of dropping the volume that's slowly making a return. A few years back advocates complained about kids damaging their hearing and a lot of companies went so far as to build limiter circuits to keep them from reaching certain decibels. Of course that worked a bit differently, you could still get full volume with a few work arounds
As soon as torch is activated the phone makes a constant crackle (like static) sound which seems to originate near the top of the phone. If i put my ear up close under the static sound I can hear a second sound, quieter more like a motor spinning hum.
Any ideas?? I need to replace the screen so I need to open it but any suggestions as to what it is or what I am looking for?
Having just put my ear on the back of the phone it could even be coming from the middle of the phone but the top speaker area is noisy and bottom speaker area is quiet so......i'm confused as they are the same distance away.
I am flummoxed
I haven't heard of this problem specifically. But your description sounds like it might be capacitor hum/crackle. When a capacitor goes bad, it tends to make a hum or crackle. And not too many other electronic components make a "noise" when they fail. I also don't know if this is anything you can replace, without replacing the whole board. But maybe that give you a starting point, when you open up the phone. Good luck!
