S9+ ringtone volume is lower with actual call compared to when testing in Settings - Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers

One thing I've noticed is that the ringtone volume coming from the earphone part (top of phone) is a lot softer/quieter than the volume coming from the bottom firing speaker - now this is expected and normal I think, but here's the issue I've noticed - the ringtone volume coming from the top speaker is even more soft/quiet when an actual call is coming through compared to when testing it in Settings. Can anyone else confirm this? You can test it by covering the bottom firing speaker with a finger/thumb and listening to how loud the top speaker is when the ringtone is playing. Compare the sound/volume of the top speaker between:
1. when an actual call comes through
verses
2. testing it in Settings

Bump - can at least a few of the people who read this thread post their results? Thanks in advance.

I have checked and found that the volume is different like you said. In settings it's a bit louder then when receiving calls. It's as if the volume in settings is set to max. I did then changed the volume to max and now the sound seems to be at the same level in either situations. Maybe just check your call volume level

Changing volume to max doesn't make a difference to the relative difference for me - that is, the volume coming from the earphone speaker is louder when testing in Settings verses when an actual call comes through.

Ringing is low

Hello all,
I am having a problem with my phone, If i put the volume high (max) the ringing getting loud and hearable, but then the phone speaker becomes too loud. putting the volume to middle eill lead to acceptable phone speaker but the ringing will be hardly hearable!!!
is there a way to set only the ringing volume high and keep the speaker von to middle?
hi i notice the same problem when you set your ppc to standby mode aka sleep mode.Try again without setting your ppc on standby mode.
There are two different volume settings with relation to calls/ringers.
Outside of a call, put the volume to max and it should ring loudly.
During a call, you can adjust the volume, and this will only affect the call volume.

Headphones are way too loud

Hey guys, with my touch hd, i like using my in-ear headphones although they are far too loud when using the music player tab in manilla. how can i put the volume down?
try searching, there's already a thread about this.
as far as i know, that thread suggests using advanced config to set the music player value low. Setting it to 1 still makes it rather loud for a minimum sound level and so this doesnt really solve my problem.
also, with the audio booster enabled, how do i change the overall volume?
the only way ive been doing this is by creating profiles with various changes to the overall db values (ie subtracting and adding 1 from total, 2, 3 etc.) but this is a long process and id have to do it for every config.
any ideas?

This maybe a bit simplistic and you may have tried it, but why don't you take all the frequencies down to -6 in the Audio Booster? This in theory should drop the overall volume by -6db? The other thing I did was buy high impedence earbuds which where 150ohms, but ear buds are not everyones thing. I don't like "in the ear" phones myself. I have some yuin PK1's....they are superb HiFi.
If the music is too loud, you can edit the registry to fix it:
Local_machine\software\HTC\AudioManger_eng\Config\ music_player_volumn
Change the DWORD to 10 or lower and soft-reset the mobile
(Original value is hexadecimal: 64 or Decimal: 100)
You have just decreased the maximum music player volume in TouchFLO3D
Here is another tip.
If you want the phone to remember the last volume used with headphones, so that the next time you plug them in, they will automatically play at that last volume, you can also do this in the registry. The only problem with this particular tip, is that after every soft-reset, you'll have to enter the changes again in the registry.
But here is how to do that:
Local_machine\software\HTC\VolumeOverlay\SavedHand SetVolume
Change DWORD to 0

How about using your Stylus (or finger) to lower at minimum?
Rgds,
huh?
Why would you edit registry etc?
Whats wrong with the up/down volume keys or as stated the volume icon in taskbar?

In some cases, (and I had this problem), even having the volume at just a couple of bars was pretty darn loud. That meant that it didn't give you much room to play around with a decent volume range. Basically, you knew you never needed the volume louder than just a few bars. If you wanted to rock out - it was fine. But if you wanted to listen to music at a soft volume, it was not that easy. If you turned it down a bar or so, it would drop the volume quite a bit and another bar down meant no more volume. Also, the side buttons drop the volume faster than if you use your stylus. So, that meant that using the buttons sometimes dropped the volume from loud to mute in one press. So, I had to take the stylus out every time to carefully lower the volume just a bar or two. And that gets annoying.
So by making the registry adjustment, you are basically setting your desired max volume to be at the top of the bars. Now you have whole range of bars to slowly drop the volume down when you want to listen to softer music.
Not everyone has this problem. I had it with my stock ROM, but once I started using Dutty's ROMs, I never had a problem with it.
I see, 5 mins out of box Dutty's ROM on my HD
This problem went away since i switched over to kwbr's Topix a while ago. It seems to be a result of some headphones having a higher sensitivity to others, so they interpret the same electrical signal into a louder sound, hence why HTC try to eliminate the problem by giving a set of headphones which are known to be the right sensitivity.
also, once i have the volume all the way i have it, how can i change the volume? when using the audio booster, the volume control no longer works

I don't understand your question.
However, when I use the audio booster, I can still use the volume buttons as usual. Do you have anything else installed that could be interfering with it? For example software to map buttons?
I think you should use WMP to play, easier to adjust the volume
Try using one of these:

Works well, microphone and answer button work, and has a volume slider so you can tweak volume as required.

[Q] In Call Volume

Hi,
I've been having this issue along many builds. Both stock and later on SD 1.6.1 too. Now I am running 1.9.0 and going to upgrade to 1.9.1 soon.
The problem is that my In Call volume coming from the earpiece is either too low or too high. I tried various apps that can set the call volume without any success. There are I think 7 volume levels for Call volume but the volume I experience goes likes this:
low -> low -> low -> low -> loud -> loud -> loud
There is no middle volume for me. Only very quiet or very loud volume. This makes it impossible to have a phone call with ambient noise and if I set it on loud everyone can hear my conversation.
Is there any config where these volume levels can be adjusted?
Thanks for any suggestions.

Volume Control Issues with the Note 2 After Restart

After rebooting the Note 2 and making the first call, the device sets the earpiece volume to a higher setting than what it shows in settings. If the setting is set to the lowest volume there is no way to lower it but the phone outputs at a much higher volume. This occurs only during the first call after restart. According to the forums, the Sprint version of the phone has the same issue.
i haven't experienced that yet however it seems like the lowest volume other than mute on the notification volumes is as loud as my nexus was on highest..

How to force extra in-call speaker volume by default on s9+?

Hi there, on my new s9+ I'm finding the speakerphone volume is too low for conference calls unless I click the three dots during a call and enable the extra volume.
Is there an app or command I can run to increase the phone call speaker volume past the default max?
Speaker works great for music and other things... Just the call isn't high enough.
Does anyone know if the pixel2 xl has a higher call speaker volume by default? Considering switching as this will be annoying long term if I can fix.
Thanks!
