hi guys, <3 my x10 except for the general volume too low....
when i hooked it up to my car strero i had to set the both car stero and x10 to max.....
car radio max vol is 47, when i listen to the radio its about lvl18, i need the volume @38 when playing from my xperia...
any fixes, have searched the forums but no REAL solutions...
there is any app for £2 that will max it up for me, but why should i have to pay ...
thanks in advance
I didnt know there was an app that could boost the volume on an X10. Which app is this?

i have 1.6
Defective Phone?
I am also having an issue with low in call volume. When I turn the call volume all the way up though, distorted sound starts coming out of the speaker, especially when it comes to high frequency sounds. It almost seems that the speaker is vibrating.
Can some one confirm this, because I need to figure out whether I have a defective phone and if so, exchange it while it is still possible.
Thanks
YES, X10i is a low volume phone
My X10i volume is low compare with my others phone.
I believe this is native. Not defect.
I am considering buying the HTC Aria (I can get it for free) but have read on several Android forums about the problems with the Aria's lack of ringtone volume. Has anyone here suffered from this or is this just a few upset customers. Also if you've had this problem were you able to fix it if so how? Did rooting the phone help at all? Thanks for the help.

Um...depends on what you mean by ringtone volume. Everytime I have my volume all the way up it rings and I can hear it. I've never had an issue where I had my volume up and it sounded like it was at anything less than full...hope that answers your question

I've had low volume problems when using songs for Ringtones. Used MP3 Gain pc software to increase the volume of the file. Search for "MP3 Gain" on the internet

MY ringtone is way way too loud. thats not an issue for me.
There are however volume problems with speaker phone or even the regular phone depending on your locations noise level.
Same here,I usually turn on the speaker and. Hold the phone close to my ear so I can hear people.there is a louder volume hack,I just haven't been able to test it.

I've search but to no avail. My bluetooth volume on my Evo Shift is very low. My Moment and other phones were/are loud enough and I'm not using cheap headsets. I use my phone for work and I have a lot of ambient noise that is unavoidable.
Low Volume Hack (apparently) doesn't work, nor does Volume Boost.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thx
Suggestions? Not really. Observations and confirming your problem, yes. Myself having many phones and bt headsets, I have noticed that one that may be loud on one model phone is not necessarily loud on a different one. Sometimes the motorola h790 is so loud on one phone that I cannot turn it down enough. That headset on another phone is quite quiet. I don't know why it is but it is.
None if the current volume hacks will work on these phones with a stock rom at least. The files that they modify are not present, as apparently it uses a different way to control sound output and equalization

Hi all,
I've always felt that when playing music on my DHD that it's too quiet, when I've listened to music through my headphones I would say it's acceptable however when I've plugged my DHD into a HiFi or into my stereo in my car I could crank the volume to full control without it been deafening. I happen to find a fix yesterday by accident, I had my DHD plugged into my car stereo and the phone rang, I pulled the audio cable out and answered the phone, when I was done I put the cable back in and immediately I was like WTF just happened now, the music was much louder than what it was before I answered the phone, I would say it was about 30% louder.
I tested my theory by stopping the music and unplugging the cable, plugged the cable back in and started the music, while it was playing I opened the phone and simply dialled any random number and ended the call immediately, when it went back to the music it was most certainly much louder. I've tried it several times now and every time it makes it much louder than what it was before I make a call, I can now no longer turn the stereo full blast as it is simply too loud, just by turning it up to half way I would say it's the equivalent of what it was before when I had it turned up to the maximum.
I'm using Poweramp and I don't know if it's got anything to do with that, I will test it with the built in music player and see what it does. I originally downloaded Poweramp as I thought that the built in music player may be the problem.
i'll repet what you do and post some results... really want a louder volumen in headphones. I plugged my headphone in a Wildfire and it's incredible louder, no talking about an ipod! last week in a party i was ashamed when my friend put off his $50 cell phone and i plugged mine on stereo, so low volume....
wtf, that's true.. really don't understand what the phone turns on!! probably the same thing that volume boost turns on!!
Aha that actually works

Good news, it must be a software bug with the volume control.

let's hope someone let this bug permanently turned on, with no call trick...
Haha! Tried it myself, and it works! Awesome!
I found using shazzam or sound hound while music was playing caused it to go louder. Seems to be when the mic is initialised. Noticed this two days ago

Interesting find.
I've noticed a couple of ROMS which suggest better audio volume by 20%.
For example this one. (Speaker Boost +20%)
So somehow, somewhere the bug or issue has been fixed or improved.

Not really, i'm using that rom right now, and what it makes is improve SPEAKER volume, not from headphone. I made my tests in Android Revolution rom and can confirm that headphone is as quiet as stock rom, and it is improved by the "call trick"!
Thanks for sharing! I was experimenting a bit, and it seems like the simplest way to boost the volume is to make a call while music is already playing. The call MUST connect though, or the volume will revert to normal levels. Tested with Winamp.
Maybe have one of the dev's ask to look into this.
If this is different from the already increased speaker volume output, it probably is a bug that can be fixed / feature that can be 'un-featured'
works fine
I had similar experience with my laptop. When listening a mp3 file, the sound coming out from my laptop seems like no effects, standard sound without bass and treble effect. Have to play a movie file first together and stop the.movie make the song hear with the effect.
I believe this issue coming from my sound driver. Using another OS in same laptop. The sound play normally with no issue.
For our Android, it's about the sound driver too?
well well, i just noticed that in the Android Revolution 4 (leaked gingerbread based), the sound is improved by default, no needing the call workaround, looks like HTC fixed the strange bug for the next version...
i just wanted to share!
edit: if someone could try to confirm it, i'll appreciate! =o)

I had the same problem, go to the Market and download "Volume Ace".
MarkieSA, you're an accident hero.
I noticed sometimes my DHD volume suddenly were loud . If I restart the phone, it will go low . I couldn't find out how to make it loud again until reading your post. I'm using PowerAmp too . I think it plays a role in this case.
Thank you for this great finding.
Really useful little trick for 2.2 users, especially for peeps using stock ROM's without the 20% boost via custom kernels. I had tried some of the volume boost type apps before rooting but all they do is invert the phase of one of the stereo channels. All this does is give you a very tinny mono output which is no use to say the least.
When I'm using a wired headset to talk to someone on a call the volume is kinda low, I have it set max but its still pretty low, works fine on speaker or BT. Also the same wired headset works very loud when on a movie or music, just low when on a call.
Any fix to this?
Would like to know this aswell... Impossible to hear what people are saying when using the headset
I too find that headset and speaker volume are low. ( comparison to few other phones )
Cannot hear in a noisy environment.
Tried Volume + but does not seem to help .
I experienced this problem as well. Looks like this is a hardware problem (either the pin or the socket).
Try using a different headset - one without a mic. You sould see a significant gain in volume.

Its a hardware issue, swapped my phone for a new one today and dont have the problem anymore.
The service menu edit doesnt really help at all and the volume gain is minimal.
Anyone else having issues like this should request your carrier or samsung for a replacement. It only happens to a handful of phones.
I assume there are two seperate audio chips, the yamaha one for audio and another for voice calls??
Can anyone confirm?
