[Solved] Random Max In-Call Volume & Max In-Call Volume on each reboot - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II

Whenever I make or receive a call, I see my in-call volume at maximum level! I don't understand why it keeps doing this? I noticed this problem on all 3 of note 2. I keep adjusting to low but randomly just gets reseted to max again. Anyone else having the same issue with T-Mobile Note 2?
Update: finally found the culprit of this problem. The app "Tango" video chat messes with the in-call volume. Once account & app was uninstalled even after the reboot in-call volume setting never changed. Everything stayed as I left it and no more random MAX in-call volume.
Video to show what Tango is doing to my in-call volume.

Nobody has this issue? how come all 3 of my Note 2 has this issue =/

Anyone?

Sorry, this doesn't help but I usually keep my in-call volume at max so I haven't noticed this.

Thanks for the reply. I don't know how you keep the volume at max.. maybe it's just my phones but it's too painfully loud for me.
Would you mind trying to lower the call volume to lowest setting and restart the phone? See if the call volume goes back to max, I would really appreciate that.
For whatever the reason, the volume setting is not getting saved. So annoying since everytime i answer a call, it's trying to blow my eardrums out!

I'm guessing nobody has this in-call volume issues on their T-mobile Note2? Should I be considering an exchange....??

Just FYI multiple post saying anyone? Anyone? Pple just find annoying. Not trying to be rude. But from what I noticed from posts from other forums. Is when pple do that. They will never receive help or a reply from someone. Especially when the OP keeps doing that all in the same day.
Sometimes if you want help. You need patience. Especially here on xda. Pple here don't live there lives to help you. Right when you make a new post. Sometimes it could take days or even a week or two. But I'm positive if you don't do multiple post like this. And wait or even search the web. Even user a different phone. You will find ur answer. Remember google is ur best friend.
Anyways I don't no if its because of my rom or not but mind keeps going to vibrate and I have to keep turning it back to sound + vibrate
Oh ya you also have to be detailed when asking questions. Are you rooted or not. Stock or flashed a rom. Which rom. ...you get the point. The more you tell use the more likely a chance someone will help you. If you choose not to look it up urself

My bad, wasn't trying to be annoying or anything. I searched around in many different forums but still no answers and didn't get any replies on this issue, even the t-mobile support didn't know what was causing this issue. I guess I was running thin on patience.
I'm running all on stock and all 3 devices does this. T-Mobile sales rep said maybe it's part of the feature.. But we all know that's b/s. Changing in-call volume randomly doesn't sound much like a great feature to me....

Ya unfortunately that sucks. If you were rooted I would say try to flash a different rom. But since ur not my best guess would be to search around for an app that has something to do with volume/ in call volume. There's an app for everything these days. Ur just gunna have to read all the details in every volume app you can find. I'm sure there's something. Good luck. If you happen to find something. Post it hear in case others run into the same problem as you in the future.

Am I the only one with this problem? I wish some of the same device/carrier users would give me some feedbacks so I can figure out what to do....

you talking about in call volume or ringer volume? if its in call volume im pretty sure that if i lower it during a phone call it stays that volume even on the next call
im not 100% sure though...and im not sure if it stands through a reboot but i am pretty sure...cause i dont leave my in call volume on max because it is quite loud and distorted...if it always went back up to max i probably wouldve noticed..again not 100% sure

It's the in-call volume. I have no idea what's causing this... When I lower the volume it will stay that way only for that call and next call or sometimes even during the call volume goes up to max randomly. It's driving me nuts cause it's so loud and I can't even answer the call without worrying its gonna blow my eardrums!
I tried restoring factory but that didn't help and all three of my Note 2 do this so I'm lost here. Not like I rooted and modified anything, all is in stock.
Would you mind trying to put in-call volume to lowest and rebooting the phone? See if it goes back to max by default. That's how mine is set to every reboot.

i just tested it...called myself...i put the volume to 50%...hung up..called myself back..volume was still at 50%...idk if it will randomly go up...we'll see lol
if it does..that would be an annoying bug...one i probably wouldnt have noticed if i didnt read this thread...so if i start noticing it i blame you!

Try rebooting, see if that setting sticks.
It does this all randomly. Setting will stay that way for awhile and all of sudden max volume.

yeah..volume went back to max after reboot
try this
go to dialer -> call settings -> my call sound...there are 2 options that might help you...one for sound settings (maybe choosing one of them will help you) or personalize call sound..that one asks you to plug in ear phones..im not sure what happens after you run that test and if it only applies to earphones but you can try it

Why would it do that... It's not suppose to. I never had that issue with ATT Note, N7000 and i9300... I get the feeling many people just don't pay too much attention to it and when it does go up, people just lower the volume and forget about it.
Whatever the reason setting of the in-call volume isn't being saved. And something is making it to go back to default. Just don't know what though...
Keep your eye on that volume, and check if it goes up randomly.
P.S. I really appreciate the replies, been waiting for awhile.

Yeah, I really didn't want to annoy anyone but this little bug was driving me insane. Spending hours with T-Mobile tech supports weren't even helpful either. I hope it isn't a defective unit... Please let me know if you notice this issue! Thanks again =)

I think I found the culprit. Seems like "Jays headset control" app was causing this issue. It was never an issue on any other device but not sure why it's causing on note2. I uninstalled the app yesterday and so far problem hasn't come back yet. Time will tell but so far so good.
Thanks for looking and replying to my post. I can finally relax!
Update: wasn't jays app... Still having issue.

on-call volume default issue

hi there,
every time i make or answer a call, i notice that the default volume is always on the low setting and i have to increase the volume to max all the time...why does it not stay on high volume? just curious is there a setting to keep it on high volume (max) instead of low?
thanks
Good luck!
The very same issue drives me crazy on this phone... I searched high and low for a fix - even posted a bounty here - but never got it resolved.
In fact, let me state again that if anyone here can fix this I'll PayPal them $25.
To be clear, I want the incall volume on my phone to stay at the max setting, always, and remian that way even if I power cycle the phone or turn the radio off & on.

I'm surprised you haven't found an answer, but then to be honest I haven't noticed this problem. I'm running an energy ROM and quite honestly I don't know that it does that. I'll have to double check and see, but I didn't think I have the same problem.

[Q] EXTREMELY low call volume cm10

Hey ive done a bunch of googling and searching and cant find a fix or a reason why this is happening.. I did a full data wipe/cache clear and installed the 12/26 nightly of cyanogenmod 10, and my speakerphone and in call volume is so low i cant even hear someone if im in the car or anywhere with any ambient noise.. the 12/27 didnt fix it for me either.
Any ideas on how to fix this issue? I cant post in the developer forum because of my post count but i have searched and found nothing on how to fix this issue... thanks

I think you mean CM10.1. They're working on it. There is something in the settings that you can change that might help it a little bit. Go to Settings>Advanced>Sound & select ”Extra gain in voice calls". It might help you out a little bit.

Oh, really???
Well, if they haven't gotten to the volume problem yet, from when this response was posted in Dec. 2012... then I guess that their focus on this Beta software 10.1.3 just isn't in the cards for my N7100.
I just installed 10.1.3 yesterday... and am tremendously disappointed in the volume (among other things).
True that "Speaker Phone" during a call is utterly useless... even worse than just putting the phone up to my ear.
Even Lock Screen sound doesn't work.
Some sounds are barely audible... that is if I turn off the TV, close the door to the room, turn off the AC so that the air coming through the ceiling vents doesn't make any noise, etc. etc.
You'd think that after a year, and with the big influx of $$$'s to CM they just MIGHT have gotten around to making it so that when I'm pushing my cart through WalMart... I could actualy hear the conversation without constantly saying "Huh?".
(I'm posting this on all threads i can find because it was also very frustrating for me, with no solution whatsoever).
I had this same exact problem on my Galaxy S3. All my volume settings are at highest, and even when i press the volume up rocker during the call, it doesn't get louder. HERE'S THE SOLUTION THO (after countless hours of trying many, many different things)! Not sure if this works for other phones.
During the call, if you press the volume button, you should see the volume level bar with the "settings" icon next to it appear on your screen (look at the screen while the call is in progress). Press the "settings" button to open up the volume menu. If you're having low volume, you probably have all the volumes at their max. Put your finger on the volume slider and just move it lower then back higher, and you should notice that the volume goes higher than it was before. It's almost like it's stuck at what it thinks is the MAX level, and by sliding it back and forth, it's "unstucking" it, and allowing it to go higher to the true max level. Not sure why it does this, but after doing this, it should remain at the new higher volume for the next calls. I did notice that if you adjust the volume lower for anything else (say when you're watching a video, or turning it down because the ringer or notification sound is too loud), then it will get back to the low call volume and you have to slide it again to get it unstuck.
If anyone knows how to report this issue to the CM 11 coders, please forward...
Hope that helps!

Low call volume in CM11. My wife's job is on the line!

So my wife will be getting a call for a phone interview this Wednesday, and she's concerned about a recent issue with her AT&T S3 running on CM11 nightly 3/22. Her in-call volume is always extremely low regardless of how high the volume is set for calls. I have heard other accounts of this issue cropping up on various devices with builds of CM11 dating back to last year, but I've never come across a fix.
Has anyone encountered this and then resolved it permanently? My wife is very stressed worrying about not being able to hear the interviewer when they call in two days.
Try a different rom, tasks aokp has always been loud for me.

CM11 is available in stable. Why would you/she want to run the phone on a nightly? Guess you have enough time before Wednesday to update to either a stable version or go stock - even if only for the interview.
If you rely on your phone as a phone and actually need it up and running 100% all day everyday, you should be on the stock ROM. I'm sorry but all of these AOSP ROMs are full of bugs that get annoying after a while; one of them being the low call volume.

I lol'd even more at your useless post. I use stuff like V4A and Xposed (if you even know what that is) all the time from this site. You can be on XDA and still expect your phone to work. I was just pointing out that low call volume has always been an issue on a lot of AOSP ROMs, and if you need to use your phone to make a lot of phone calls, you should be on the STOCK ROM.
I'm on an aosp ROM, and I use my phone to make a lot of calls, so you're saying I need to be on stock ROM? Lol... What is "stuff like v4a and xposed"? Sounds complicated for us simple folks. :silly:
Bro, I've been on aosp ROMs since day one.. And never had any issue from phone.apk
BTW I'm not sure of cm still have this but in advance option setting and under sound, there's an option to gain extra volume for voice call.. Try it out and stop with the stock joke Lol
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk
My S3 has been on CM since the day I got it, and CM11 since it came out, and on nightlies. Never had a single issue with call volume. As a matter of fact, I found that CM11 nightlies were overall a lot more stable than even the stock 4.3..
Since she's expecting important calls, you may get her sim card on your phone while you fix the phone for her.

CM11 is only nightly on d2lte.
I would say if you use it for work and if you're wife doesn't know too much about AOSP, go back to stock.

Volume boost?

Anyone come up with a volume hack for headphones? On the g2 you could edit the mixerpaths file. Im rooted without twrp and tried that and got stuck in a nice bootloop and had to push the stock rom thru adb to get back up. Once i get twrp i can run thru some settings. Just wondering if anyone else is bummed out by this low volume.
I can say my phone don't need volume boost. Phone sounds great. Have to turn it down. Sounds way better than note 3
The speaker is fine. Although I wish it could go up by one or two when I'm listening through headphones.

Partially hijacking this thread, but does anybody know if there's a hidden way to disable the safe volume warning every time I plug in my headset? This is the most annoying thing on this phone, especially if I do a quick travel to n from lunch and work, I have to keep pressing the volume button again n again. I know most likely it's baked into the ROM, but maybe someone knows something.
OP, you sure this is not the problem you're facing? At first I thought I had gone all the way on the volume, but I realized I had to press it again to boost the volume to the max.

Nah I wish. I just like really loud music. The phone is capable of doing much higher levels with a few slight tweaks. I'm sure for most its loud enough.

Not sure if this is what you are looking for but, G3 Tweaksbox has this option. It is under sound tweaks. Then check "Disable Safety Headset Volume"

The viper mod works OK but I ended up following this guide. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2819821
Just make sure you fix permissions and all will be well.

I tried the V4A version and I must say it did make a bit of a difference in sound boost but one of the main things I use the headphones for at times is making phone calls. When I tried to make a call the volume of the call still sounded low. Is anyone else experiencing this? I have Sirius radio installed and you tube and sound on both definitely improved a bit. I wanted to try the other method by modifiying the path files but I heard some issues causing boot loops and it pretty much scared me away. I'm also still trying to figure out how to install TWRP on my LG G3 since I rooted it manually, I can't figure out how to get it on my device. Any help would be appreciated.
EDIT: Finaly got TWRP on my device.
It's not a problem with the phones volume control but with your hearing ability.
I had hearing tests done last year at the clinic and they said I had very good sense of hearing... kind of a weird thing. Anyways, I can get it to about 75% volume and it's extremely loud. Any more than that is painful.

Volume Control is bugging on my OP3

Hey guys,
atm I'm facing towards a problem like on the screenshots
<---https://goo.gl/photos/UQXesg48QwZLZTyy5--->
I'm not sure how this could happen but i think this is from an xposed module. Someone maybe know what i have to modify to put it right. Atm my minimum volume is 14%. Can't lower the volume from that point.
I tried formatting userdata, system or better said, I clean flashed my phone but this changed nothing actually.

If you're on Open Beta 8 it's a feature of the ROM. I'm not sure why its the case but many people are reporting this, only way to get to vibrate is silent mode.

You can be right, since I'm not sure when this issue started. At OOS3.2.7 i tuned my volume with some xposed modules and after that I flashed the CB3.5.5. Maybe its because I'm using the beta. Can you refer me some points where ppl reporting this? I haven't found anything yet on xda or on the oneplus forums. At the moment I'm using your suggested way for turning the phone into vibrate. Sometimes I want to silent my phone completely and have to go into settings to turn the lever to silent. In some cases really annoying.
kind regards

It is quite annoying, happening to me too.
