Hi all,
I find out that on my wileyfox swift 2+ the volume in calls are definitely too loud when the earphones is inserted, even if I set the lowest audio level from menu, equalizer app or while calling, while having good volume sound when playing sounds from any application (not in call), with or without earphones (yeah, it could be a bit higher, but for me is ok).
I tried two type of earphone (xiaomi hybrid and another pair of samsung) but everyone is experiencing the problem. It's not a problem of telephone card, I tried 2 different cards and nothing changed.
I'm the only one who is experiencing this problem? what do you recommend?
Thanks.
Yep, I have exactly the same problem with my Swift 2+. I've also tried several sets of headphones, plus a couple of volume control apps. I have tried engineering mode, but *nothing* reduces the volume to an acceptable (non-painful) level. I've used the same headphones successfully in a Samsung Galaxy S2, which proves that it's the Wiley Fox phone.
Is this a hardware issue? Am I going to have to solder a resistor into the headphones to reduce the volume?
If I'm not able to find a solution soon then I will have to buy another phone, and it won't be WileyFox.

Hey guys,
I have had this scenario occur on all of the different ROMs that I have tried (including stock) and I was wondering if anybody else is seeing the same thing.
1. When my Jawbone bluetooth headset is connected, volume is fine. It's a little annoying that it always starts out volume at the lowest setting, but it's something I'm adapting to.
2. When I plug my phone into my vehicle stereo receiver via the headphone jack and then receive a call on my bluetooth headset, the bluetooth volume never gets high enough. If I disconnect the headphone jack (have not tried this while in a call), the volume is fine.
Has anybody else noticed this? Is there a fix?

I have seen the reviews online also which mention the same issue, is this a froyo thing or a Dell issue, hope they solve it with an update. I am using volume booster from the market which gives me a little more dBs, but compared to my iphone & blackberry, the volume level still sucks
look's like Dell issue

I also find that if I have the headphone jack plugged into the aux in my car, and I answer a call on bluetooth, when I come back to my music, the volume is even worse. I have to switch off blue tooth, then play my aux audio, and then re-enable bluetooth in order for the audio level to come back up to a listenable level. weird.........
Is there a volume control option for rooted devices that may fix this?
I got the Optimus V at the recent Cyber Monday deal at Virgin Mobile - for one major purpose - to use it as an mp3 player for my car. I have not activated the phone, do not plan to, have wifi on it only.
The built-in speaker on it is pretty loud, so I am surprised that the headphone volume is very low. I have to turn my car volume all the way up to max to hear anything (driving highway).
I wonder if LG turned the volume low to prevent people from killing their ear-drums. Is there any solution out there without having to activate the phone and install alternate rom on it? I have turned the volume in settings all the way high, and I have Pandora, and I have set the audio setting to high on Pandora preferences.
Pls. let me know if my objective cannot be achieved without rooting and installing a custom ROM, I would prefer not to activate this phone.
Thanks for any help.
Shameless bump...I have Volume Control+ which does not help at all.
you hear low sound in headphone ?
what are you connecting it to?
Yes, I have a low volume on the headphone too. I connect it to the aux port on the car radio using a regular Stereo Jack. My Car radio is a Pioneer system, which has great sound with other mp3 players.
There goes my first pos heret:
Recently I have bought an international SGS3 branded by T-Mobile and it is currently running I9300XXBLFB (ICS 4.04). Some time before that I have also bought a Belkin headphone adapter. What it does is that it basically provides a microphone and a standard 3.5mm jack port for the headphones of your choice. It also has a small 3button Apple like remote (answering button and +/- loudness controls). Good idea for someone who loves his headphones, which don't come with a microphone. It also comes with a TRRS ending typical for Apple.
The adapter worked ok on my Samsung wave with a TRRS switch (loudness control of course didn't work at all, but answering did; loudness doesn't usually work on anything but iCrap). It also seemed to work on my SGS3 at first, but without the switch (TRRS layout is the same as in Apple).
When plugged in I get a notification that headset is recognized, when I make a call the microphone works, headphones work and the answering button is able to stop the phone call. When not in a phone call the answering button starts and stops the music player, so again kind of a standard behaviour.
Now the fun part starts when I answer a phone call with the answering button. The call gets picked up BUT the headphone icon at the notification disappears (behaves like the headphones would get unplugged) and the microphone in the headset doesn't work anymore. I also am not able to drop the call and after I drop it with the phone itself the music switch via the headset doesn't work. Detaching and attaching the headset via the 3.5mm port again gives the headset icon back.
I compared it with two other headsets: stock and Thermaltake Isurus headset.
Both of them behave correctly when I answer a phone call. Both remotes work correctly as well, I am able to pickup and drop calls and the headset icon stays where it should.
Anyone has any ideas what may be wrong with the Belkin headset adapter? Or why SGS3 behaves so strangely with this accessory in particular? Anyone encountered this before?
When I use headphones or earbuds with my phone, the in-call volume is extremely low, even with the volume maximized. Music and media are at normal volume with the headphones, and in-call volume is normal when using the earpiece or loudspeaker. It's just that when I make a call with headphones, I can almost not hear the person on the other end.
I've tried tinkering with every volume setting option, including those in DSP and even tried Volume+ (which unnecessarily boosts media volume to the extreme, but does absolutely nothing for in-call volume). I've also spent hours searching the internet and existing forums for a solution. I found this: (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1337357) but unfortunately that only bricked my phone. I'd really love to be able to use earbuds when on a call. Any ideas??
P.S.
I'm running CM11 on a Motorola Defy, if that's important.
