Anyone know how to increase the ring tone volume for LG Optimus 7 ?
You mean past its current limit?
If not, then just use the volume +/- buttons on the left side of the device...
Yes, pass the current limit.
The current limit with the volume button is too low, miss alot of calls.
Actually, I do not believe the problem is the Volume Limit...rather, since Optimus 7 has only ONE mono speaker for all purposes, the sound is naturally low in volume...
There is a registry hack to inscrease the limit (and can be done without unlocking it, using the built-in registry editor in the MFG App), and I will post it when I return home. However, I do not recommend using it at all, as it tends to distort the sound quite significantly.
Thank you, hear from you soon.

Has anyone found a hack to increase the speaker volume when holding the JAM to your ear. My hearing is not good at all...remember when mom used to say "turn that music down, you'll go deaf" turns out the old girl was right.
The volume on the JAM seems even lower to me since doing the latest ROM update. There must be a registry setting to increase the volume. I've not seen anything that jumps out, but I'm willing to bet that there is a way.

low earpiece volume
hi paragon,
I fully support your criticism about the poor audio level at max setting. There must be sufficient potential in increasing the audio level since there is the loudspeaker function available.
Now 2 people are waiting desperately for a solution by a honourable specialist which allows for an icrease of the basic volume setting.

Well, the speakerphone on this thing isn't actually isn't any louder than the regular earpiece!
did anyone find a solution to this one?? I hope it's not the old change the rom to 1.12? I'm happy so far with 1.06 apart from the low front speaker volume.

i'm using 1.12 and i struggle to hear ppl as well. i ran by this app earlier today on i forgot which site that says its the ultimate hack tool. i'll browse through my histor and see if i find it and figure out if it can increase the volume.
Unfortunately it's generally considered that it's not possible to activate speakerphone programmatically, which will mean that automatically switching to speakerphone isn't going to help too much.
I tried setting up a profile to turn the volume down to a reasonable level, and then activate speakerphone and use that as the earpiece. That way the screen doesn't get sweaty and you've got better sound straight to the ear. However, some people on the other end of the line say the recieved sound isn't so great. I don't see why it should be any worse. Play around with AGC in the settings panel. Anyone else care to report on this idea?

i found the app, its tweaks2k2net unfortunately nothing with earpiece volume... and about the using the speakerphone instead, i've had ppl complain that they cant hear my clearly as well.. is the mic also bad on this phone?
I would like to know if there is a way to hack the registry to increase / boost the phone headset volume. Please note I am not talking about the "speakerphone" volume, I just find that when talking to someone on the phone headset it seems alot softer than the Wizard that I had before, even when the volume is set to max.
i would also like to know how to do this. i feel like my wizards ear piece volume was deafening.. but on the tytn its so incredibly low
I don't have a problem with the headset, but even on the highest volume setting the phone's earpiece speaker is a bit too quiet.
Any thoughts anyone?
Thanks.
Same hear, just to darn low at the highest volume setting. I see there are fixes for other HTC phones but nothing specific for this phone. Has anyone on this board managed to hack the registry and find an effective fix to increase the earpiece volume?
i'd love this as well - just bought one of these :
http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=138247
and the volume level is VERY disappointing. my wizard used to have an acceptable volume level but i can't imagine being able to hear music on my tytn with traffic around. :-(
My speaker phone volume is fine through the phone but Sprint TV is just to low. Any clues?

Use the dpad left and right to change the Sprint TV volume.
-Polen
also under HKLM/SOFTWARE/SPRINT TV there is a registry entry for volume
up it to 100 (any higher doesnt make a difference) and you will notice it gets louder, (that may not be the exact location above, i dont have my device on me ATM so im going from memory)
Thanks. I've tried both sugestions (d-pad while in player and the reg key) and neither seemed to increase the volume at all. It just seems very soft. I guess I was expective the volume to be close to that of windows media or the phone speaker.
Reg: I found 2 keys...
HKLM\\Software\SpintTV\Volume=20. Changed to 100 with no change.
HKCU\\Software\SprintTV\Volume=60. Changed to 100, no change.
Make sure both the sliders on the volume control are max and you'll get more volume whether it be ringer, music player, etc.
One seems to do front speaker the other back speaker.
Since it changes ringer volume too, you got to turn it back down when you're done with tv etc.
Seems to me they should be independent but that's how it works.
THAT DID IT! Thank You! Man I love these forums. WM is so 'obvious' sometimes. ??
Also note...
1. I changed the Reg Keys back to their defaults (HKLM\S.W.\SprintTV\V=20, HKCU\S.W.\SprintTV\V=60).
2. Made sure both Device and Phone Vol @ max
3. Went into Sprint TV and Tested the volume. On enter it was low. I increased it with the D-Pad. MAX Volume was achieved. Nice.
4. Went back into the reg key and the HKLM path had moved from 20 to 100on it own. So it looks like the d-pad is directly moving the "HKLM\S.W.\SprintTV\Volume=X. Haven't seen the HKCU path update. So I'm going to leave that one at default of 60.
Thanks again. You guys rock.
When I installed 6.1 Rev A on my phone and downloaded the sprinttv.cab the issue with the low volume went away.
guys ive seen som eposts about problems with volume but i cant find a solution for my problem
when in a call i cant adjust the volume???????
when i push up or down the volume screen appears and it moves up and down but it doesnt actually decrease or increase the volume??? any ideas please?
ive tried the system tab and also the ring tab
its really loud and quite annoying
Do you have S2U2 installed? Encountered a similar problem with this S/W installed....had to remove it unfortunately, after using it on several previous devices.....
hmm no i dont have s2u2 installed, il have to see if i installed something that caused this
anyone?????????
got the same pronblem... not sure since when. I have installed s2u2, but set it like recommended by other users who definitely CAN control the in-call-volume... got no idea... looks like a hard-reset may be necessaray... but I just don't want ang got no time... ****...
regards jan
I CAN control the volume, but it doesn't go to zero. I mean the minimum value is still high.
earpiece volume too low
i thought i'd post this here: i have found the earpiece volume during a call to be rather too low, even though i set the volume to the highest level. other aspects of the sound function seem to work nicely, loud speaker and headphones are pretty loud, but the earpiece is too damn low. any thoughts..
any idea if HD tweak can increase the earpiece volume
i found that option 3.3 acoustic setting when set to maximal increased my earpiece volume dramatically during calls. and that option 3.4 increase sound increases the ringer volume. can anyone confirm
i just got my HTC HD...my happiness knew no bounds...
but when i made calls...the world fell on me ...the ear piece volume is too low compared to other mobiles; its hardly hearable
i might be missing something...plz help me as soon as possible

could it be the simple issue that, by default, HD changes the ring volume and not the speaker volume when you press volume rocker?
you can check this and if this is your problem, do a search through the forum and you will find the registry tweak, or the volume cab to change this.
good luck!
Hi folks,
found another possible reason (but unfortunaly no solution yet) for in-call volume control not working... as this thread mainly focuses on s2u2, i've opened a new one here
regards jan
I dont know what I am doing wrong but I find the sound level extremely poor for calls
I tried with a bluetooth headset, the outside speaker and the jack with my mp3 headset
it's pretty weird since when I play videos or music I am impressed by how loud I can push the Tab...
I am on AT&T with JMC (but was the same on JM6). And I set the sound at max
anybody has the same issue? Am I doing something wrong? Or is there any sound booster app for calls? (and is it necessary?)
Thanks for your help
My Tab isn't phone-enabled, but since you're new to Android, I thought I should point out that there are multiple volume settings, and in-call volume is one of them. Menu Key -> Settings -> Sound Settings -> Volume should give you all the sliders (Ringtone, Media, Alarm, System, Notification...). There are apps/widgets too that let you get to/change these settings without having to go into the settings menu every time (audio manager has been a decent widget for me). Until you're actually in the call the hardware rocker is usually doing the ringtone or media volume.
When I use mine with Skype 60% is usually blaringly loud for me, and I don't even have the system or media volume maxed out.
Sorry if it's something you know you've done, but thought it might help. If not, maybe someone else has had the same issue and solved it.

yes this I had figured out and set at the maximum
Everything non call related is really strong... It's conversation from normal calls that is ridiculously low
Am I the only one ?? What's wrong with my tab ?
Anyone with an opinion about this ?
Voice-enabled on AT&T with JM6. Have good results with the built-in speakers and cheap Nokia BH-214 stereo Bluetooth earbuds. I ordered the OEM earbuds, but I do understand that the 3.5mm jack port in finicky. Is your Bluetooth 2.1 or newer? Do you have many open applications when trying to place or receive calls? I've notice the sound stutter a bit on the speakers when I've got several apps open.
Here's something I noticed, when in call using my BT Headset, the volume slider sometimes says its on max but the output isnt. Try to lower or increase your volume. Once you hear the max level beep, it gets louder.
Im on a SingTel Tab by the way.

Thank you, will try right away
Edit: yeah I can definitely reduce the volume but my max was my actual max. As anybody tried to compare the volume on the speaker when playing music whith the volume on the speaker when on a call... It's like 5 to 10 times higher volume on a call !! And then same issue on a headset

As mentioned I tried it with everything I could... The default external speaker, a simple stereo headset (Not bluetooth), a bluetooth headset. They all give the same. Low volume
If you don't like volume in speaker, headset, bluetooth....You can change settings in "hidden" Audio menu. There you can change volume of individual ouput, but be careful!!!!!
Before change anything, make sure you can put it back the same number if you are not satisfied or have problem ..so wright it somewhere anything you wish to change.
Good Luck with experiment. If I remember correctly(from my old Samsung i780-Windows phone) "TX" settings is for output and "RX" for imput, but I can be wrong, so be careful.

what I do is, when in a call, I lower the volume by about 2, then increase it until i hear the max volume beep. The moment i hear it, the volume on my headset usually jumps up.
I have the same problem with the speaker volume. At maximum you cannot hear it. The bluetooth seems to work OK. IIRC JK5 software seemed to work correctly.

So I guess for you too, music or movies play with a high volume on the speakers whereas for calls it's rather low volume ?
Yes bluetooth or headset I can hear but still quite low volume compared with music...

My problem is specifically for calls. Anything else is fine and working well. That's the weird issue... I dont want to boost the volume for anything else!
That's pretty weird... I have been playing with the tab and I found out that for calls, the highest level I can have (by hear) is two notches below the highest. That's by far the loudest I get (If I push higher the sound decreases)
Am I the only one ? It really pisses me off.... I don't know how it can be like that (I am on JMC ROM after flashing a JM6 ROM over the JK5 from Russia (I am on an AT&T Tab flashed to get phone working)
Someone else get the same experience ?
I can confirm that the max 'in call' volume is two notch below the max !!! And I have the same tab/setting of the OP.
Aren't there some codes you can enter to adjust the volume level on calls and music, etc.?? like the Galaxy S?

Thanks ! Ina sense I am a littel bit relieved to see I am not the only one !
Such a stupid bug. Come on Samsung...
FYI it is fixed with the firmware JME
Sound level is much more acceptable and the highest level is not anymore two notched below the max
