Call Volume Too Loud - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi I have my call volume set to the minimum, but the call volume is way too loud. The "speaker" is not active, but it is so loud that I have to operate the phone a distance from my ear, and in quiet environments people can easily hear my full conversation.
Does anyone know how I can get that minimum volume to be a little lower.
Using stock ICS, no root, everything standard...

Are u sure you're adjusting the call volume (lower volume while on call) and not the system or media volume (adjusted when on home screen or viewing media). Afaik, the lowest call volume setting cannot be heard and is in effect muted.

Try to lower the vol. While calling someone with the help of volume. Up/down buttons

I've always wanted the call volume to be higher on my note - how come you find it loud? have you used a software to increase volume previously?

Volume too high in call

When I am in a call, usually to my other half, I use the jog wheel to adjust the in call volume and the volume level varies depending on the person I speaking to, I adjust it the volume to the lowest setting during the call yet her voice still takes my head off.
Is this a problem with the phone in that the in call volume can't be set below a certain level or does my girlfriend talk freakishly loud.
Either way I am going to lose the hearing in my right ear if there isn't a fix to this. Either gagging her or a ROM update/Registry setting to change.
I have a Vario III.
Anyone else suffer from this?
Some calls for me are Freakishly loud some are barely audible on the highest setting. I sometimes get calls that have background noise that kills me and even on the lowest setting it doesn't help to stop the high pinched squealing. This phone acts weird about the volume the lowest setting is not very quiet like you say.

"speaker problem?" how can i increase the volume?

Hi all ,
there is any chance to increase the volume of the speaker ?
he is very weak.. (and his volume is on maximum)
tweak or smting will help.
thanks !
No tweaks really available for this. There are like one or two tricks (one of which requires hacking your phone up) that apparently work.
Look around, there are tons of threads in regards to this topic.
Yes the speaker is crap on the diamond. Sooner or later you will get used to it and live with it
do not forget that you have three volume settings.
first system volume, second ringtone volume and third incall volume.
the last you can only set during a call. when in a call, turn on your screen and then press the volume up button. now you can change the volume during a call.
for me this fixed al the volume problems.
offcourse if you want to use your speaker for handsfree or as an mp3 player: don't. the speaker is not intended for this use and you will just irritate people around you. use a headphone instead.

I also thought that the volume during a call is way too low despite having the volume at maximum. Since I installed Phone Weaver which lets you control the incall volume via profiles it blows my ears away. Last time the speaker was too loud during the call but I couldn't turn it down with the volume keys?! It only changed the master (system?) volume but not the incall. What did I wrong?
I have found that the loud-speaker volume is very low during movie playback, what setting deals with this?
Use Advanced Config and enable all Audio Booster options. This maybe helps...
Also Diamond Tweak, maybe disable 100 db Sound Limitation...
However, these are I think for headset, I haven't tried if they affect the external speaker.
One thing that works for sure is setting equalizers to max in In Core player, but I don't know if the core player works on Diamond...
Don't you love it how I actually haven't helped you at all?
I am gonna test all these and edit this post ))))))

Increase the volume of the movie player if its not already 100%?
Personally my speaker is very loud. During calls, at around 50% volume its still so loud I have to keep it a little from my ear.

i think you have to be in the phone menu. when i press the volume during a call, it changes the call volume. maybe phone weaver assigns a different function to you volume button.

Coreplayer shows volume at 100% already, but the volume is so low I can barely hear a thing...
Anyone? It's weird because when I put calls on loudspeaker it's fine, but when playing a movie it's inaudible...

Nexus Call Volume is too low - Need fix!

So compared to my old nokia dumbphones, i have found the in call volume on the Nexus to be too low. I have the volume set to max, and im using a sipdroid/gv/gizmo setup to make calls. The phone is unusuable to my ears in a loud environment. Any help to make the volume louder would be appreciated.
Since you're using SIPDroid, how would altering a call volume help you?
You could look for "audiomod" (rising Nexus call volume), several ROMs contain it, but I think it won't help you.

Ringing volume

Hey ZR owners, how is the ringing volume on the phone? I'm thinking about ordering one or two in the near future, but I read some reviews saying the speaker is a bit low. I currently have the myTouch 4G Slide and I don't want another phone with a low ringer.

The ringing volume is rather low. If it's in ur shirt pocket, u can hear it at full volume, but might miss in a crowded place. If it's in ur trouser pocket, u will almost always miss unless u keep the vibration on.
In my opinion, the ringer volume is fine if you select a more piercing ringing tone. In call volume is a different story. It is pretty low.

Thanks for the feedback, guys!
The ringing volume is decent for most of the high end phones in the market.
You might only miss it if you put in your jean's pocket in a crowded noisy place.
If you find your speaker too quiet, try to enable xLoud and ClearPhase in the sound settings, it helps a lot on my ZR. Actually it's pretty loud when I'm using these settings.
I think the call volume and ringing volume are acceptable.
For ringing tone use "Beat Plucker" DR.MAD, its pretty loud.
For call volume i read somewhere that disabling the "Speaker voice enhancement" in Call Settings helps. I have it off and call volume is good.:good:

Loud video call volume with whatsapp and messenger

Hello,
I can't manage to lower the volume of video calls (I tried whatsapp and messenger so far).
It is very very loud.
I tried lowering media volume and calls volume but nothing happens.
Can you help me? It's very annoying I can't do video calls with such high volume
I have the same problem on Skype. Only solution is using a headset. But call using speaker is way too loud.
No one else affected???
Have same problem w/ hangouts voice calls, the minimum volume is not low enough. Its far better over wifi calling where the minimum speaker output is capable of being much lower.
same problem with Signal when on speakerphone. Adjusting volume doesn't seem to affect the speakerphone volume, or at least it does not go very low. My workaround is to disable speakerphone in the app and turn volume up.
