In-call volume too loud/too quiet
« on: October 31, 2013, 05:40:01 PM »
A few days ago I flashed my SGS2 to JB. It's a nice OS, like Factionwars said, however there are some stuff that I really hate and find inconvenient, however this thread is not about that.

What I really noticed which was making me wonder if I need to flash the phone back to ICS was the in-call volume. The call speaker, which you put to your ear, was so  loud, even when set on the lowest volume, I could hear the other end even if I put the phone 10 cm away from the ear.
I don't know if that was some sort of a glitch or something, but after googling a bit I found that it was an issue for others as well. For some the volume was too quiet though.

I found a method to fix both issues, however it's for rooted phones, and since mine is rooted (of course) I had no problem.

I had found the answer here:
Code: [Select]
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/29031-cdma-volume-call-issues-on-jelly-bean/?p=781842
And I did the second option. However when I opened "build.prop" there was no "ro.config.vc_call_vol_steps", so I simply put it there adding 10, because I wanted it to be quieter.

And what do you know, after a restart there was a few more clicks for sound control and I could set it to a much much lower volume.
This way you can also increase the volume if yours is too quiet on full sound.

Try it out!

I am a flashaholoc and I will tell you that no custom rom is perfect but go for Slim roms as they are very good with almost no issues at all.  By the sound of it, the rom you flashed had custom sound mod by the dev of that rom.  Read the xda thread for your rom, it will tell u all issues known.  I once flashed a rom with a loud sound mod and a boot music so when i restarted my phone at night it woke whole house up and i had to throw out batter to stop boot music.
