Help Can I turn the volume higher than the default "15"?

[TheKirk]

Hi guys,

I just bought a pair of bluetooth headphones, that don't play as loud as my regular headphones. I was wondering if the default max volume on SGS2 is limited somehow for ear safety, and if I in that case can remove that limit? or somehow just get louder music?

Thanks!

Hei there. I don't know any ways to remove this limit, but you can try something manually in order to increase the sound value.

Go to Music app, go to Settings, select Equaliser and select custom: then just put all those bars up, until you get the wanted sound volume.

It should increase your sound volume.

hi, this tip has been posted by a user elsewhere in this forum. try this out.

I found the incall volume to be a little low. When you max out the volume using the volume button it actually only goes to a default setting of 87 out of 100. If you would like to change the default settings here is what you need to do.
call this number *#*#197328640#*#*
This will open the service mode menu.
choose option [5] AUDIO
choose option [1] (VOICE CALL)
choose option [1] HANDSET
choose option [1] Volume
choose option [1] SRC Speech RX Volume
choose option [5] 5_lvl : 87
press the menu button (left side)
choose Key Input
enter a value between 0 and 100, I choose 100 the loudest setting.
press ok
now press the menu button and select back this should save (don't use the right side back key you normally use to navigate the phone or you will quit out of the settings) keep hitting the menu and back until you leave the service mode menu.
You will also note you can change volume settings for other things like bluetooth, head sets, video call etc.

Note: this is not permanent, if you turn off the phone it resets back to the default levels .

Hi,

You can use Vodoo louder. It increases the volume by 6db. Thats quite huge and its without any distortion.
App available in market. Its 0.5$.
But you need root to install it.
