From the desktop, go to the main menu and find the “Sound Profiles” shortcut. There is one small nuance here - each Android has its own personal support. Depending on the software, the “Sound” shortcut appears immediately in the menu or in the “Settings” section.
Then select the “Sound Profiles” feature in the drop-down window. After that, a list of existing standard profiles will appear on the page, from which select the one you need. Next, find the “alarm sound” or “sound volume” option and set the power you need.
Buttons
.You can also change the sound volume using special buttons. Each phone has volume control keys on its body. Depending on the model, they are located either on the right or left side of the device. To change the volume level, just switch the display to desktop mode and use the side keys (up, down) to adjust the sound to the desired sound.
Special Applications
.Besides everything else. There are a lot of useful programs that help make the sound louder and clearer. Among them are Volume Control, Increasing Ring, Louder Volume Hack and others.
Thus, Volume Control is useful for changing all volume settings on one screen, allows you to bypass factory volume restrictions, and has the ability to load and save settings profiles.
The Increasing Ring app also promotes speakers. But this program has one small drawback - there is no Russian interface, although everything is clear there.
Louder Volume Hack will be useful for those who have previously flashed their phone. The program has five ways to change the volume for existing sound effects. The disadvantage of the program is that the user needs root rights to operate it. By the way, you can make working with the application much easier by making a Backup of your initial settings.
Volum+ is one of the latest and greatest programs that will help increase the volume of the sound and generally improve the frequency of the sound. Volum+ works accurately on: HTC Desire HD, HTC Incredible, HTC Desire Z, HTC Wildfire S, HTC Desire S, HTC Sensanion, HTC Sensanion, HTC Sensation XE, SE Xperia Arc, HTC Evo 4G, HTC Inspire, Droid X, Galaxy S II, Galaxy Gio, Galaxy Ace, Galaxy Tab, Samsung Galaxy S, LG GT540, Nexus S, Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini Pro, Lg Optimus 2x, Nexus One, ZTE Blade, Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini ST15i, T-Mobile Touch HD2, Asus Transformer, Orange San Francisco, T-Mobile G2x, Acer Liquid mt.
The AlsaMixer program also helps increase the volume for Android. It is suitable for users who are not very happy with the volume and sound quality of their devices, as it allows you to increase the volume on the devices without affecting the performance of the device’s speakers, and economically consume battery power.
To easily and quickly control the volume on Android phones and tablets, the AudioManager Pro program will help. The Volum X program allows you to conveniently adjust the sound on your Android device.
As can be seen from the above, there are enough applications specifically designed for volume control. It is only important to choose your own, the most convenient and functional one. By installing one of the listed programs, every owner of devices on the Android platform can enjoy clear, loud and high-quality sound of the melody. But remember that you should choose the volume carefully.
The maximum possible values should not create any sound problems. It is generally not recommended to set the settings to the highest setting as this may cause noise in the sound and place additional stress on the speakers. Excessive volume leads to rapid wear and rattling of the speaker.
Not all mobile devices reproduce sound equally loudly - for some, the ringing tone is too quiet, while for others, the sound switched to headphones exceeds all permissible limits. How to cope with this imbalance and even out the sound? Can this be done without visiting a service center? Let's figure it out.
Any gadgets on the Android OS have such a flexible control system that they can be changed beyond recognition - customized, thereby opening up a wide range of hidden capabilities, and customized to suit any functionality of the system, including sounds. Not all basic assemblies are ideal; sometimes the sound reproduction of the device’s speakers does not work correctly - in some applications it can reach the maximum value, while in others it is barely audible. You can adjust the speakers in a variety of ways - both standard and using special settings menus or applications.
All devices have a standard key for volume control - usually located on the side panel. By clicking on it you can set the desired parameter. But if this does not suit you, then you can do this from the main settings menu. Here you can make settings for any application, set a ringtone for a particular contact.
To change the default sound, you need to do this:
- Open the main settings menu and go to the section "Melodies and Sound";
- In the right corner, click on the gear icon - you will find yourself in the desired settings section;
- Set the desired sound parameters.
This will result in the same pitch for all apps and calls. But if you need to change specific values, for example, for incoming voice calls or messages, then you need to do this in the “Sound Profile” section in each of the desired applications.
Through the functionality of the engineering menu
This method is suitable for advanced users who, in case of failure, can return all the standard settings back. But! Each model has its own commands to call up this special settings menu:
- For models from Samsung: *#*#8255#*#* or *#*#4636#*#* ;
- For gadgets from NTS: *#*#3424#*#* or *#*#4636#*#* or *#*#8255#*#* ;
- Combination for devices manufactured by Sony: *#*#7378423#*#*
- For devices manufactured by Fly, Alcatel, Philips: *#*#3646633#*#* ;
- And for gadgets from the manufacturer Huawei, the combination will be: *#*#2846579#*#* ;
- For devices on MTK: *#*#54298#*#* or *#*#3646633#*#*.
After dialing and pressing the dial button, you are taken to the engineering menu, where you can adjust the necessary parameters.
There are other parameters, but it’s better not to touch them at all:
- Debug Info – system information about possible debugging;
- Speech Logger – setting up conversation recording, if you activate this position, then in the root folder you can find a file something like this: Wed_Jun_2014__07_02_23.vm, indicating the date and time of recording;
- Audio logger – is responsible for searching for recorded conversations.
Each of these modes has its own fine settings, and to understand what’s what, here is a standard list of sound adjustments Type:
- Sip – will allow you to regulate calls, for example, via Skype;
- The Mic button is responsible for adjusting microphone response;
- Sph – will allow you to set the desired parameter for the conversation dynamics, that is, the one that is brought to the ear;
- Sph2 – this parameter is not available on all devices, but if it is, then it can be used to configure the second earpiece;
- Sid - it’s better not to touch this line - otherwise during a conversation you can only hear yourself, and not your interlocutor;
- Media – this adjusts the sound of multimedia files, for example, video;
- Ring – the ability to set the desired volume level for incoming calls;
- FMR - is responsible for the pitch of the sound in the Radio application.
There are several settings to set the desired sound - from level 0 to level 6. With each press, the level increases, and in order to save the set value, it is erased from the cell and a new one is written, which you see during setup. But! Observe the range: it can range from 0 to 255, and the lower the number, the lower the sound will be reproduced. After making changes, click on the Set button - it is located on the same line as the cell being changed, and exit the settings by pressing the dial button.
Tips: Before changing the default settings, write down all the values on a piece of paper - this may come in handy if you overdo it and set the wrong parameter, for example, playing sounds too low.
Examples
For many users, when recording video, the sound is incorrect, that is, either too quiet or loud. To fix this, go to the engineering menu by typing the command for your smartphone (see above):
- Go to the line LoudSpeaker Mode (loudspeaker settings);
- Set the microphone sensitivity to mic.
- Here you can set the level item to, for example, the value 240. Save the changes with the Set button and exit the menu. You should press this button after each change made, do not forget about it!
Using special software
If you don’t want to bother with fine-tuning the device, you can use special applications. You can find a lot of them both in the Google store and on the Internet. What is noteworthy is that the sound can be increased by about a third, and the speakers will work absolutely normally, without wheezing or straining.
Utilities are recognized as the most popular, and they are best suited for adjusting low frequencies.
But the Android OS version must be higher than 2.3, otherwise they will not be able to perform their functions.
Everything is very simple, the software works on the same principle - an equalizer appears on the screen, where you can make the desired sound adjustments.
Now you know how to increase the volume on Android or, if necessary, adjust the sound and sensitivity of the speakers.
To change the factory presets with which the device goes on sale, users use all kinds of tweakers and optimizers. Today, we will tell you how to increase the volume on Android through the engineering menu.
What is an engineering menu?
The engineering menu is a built-in program for fine-tuning and testing the Android OS. In most cases, the manufacturer, after performing the necessary manipulations, removes it or leaves it on the device in a stripped-down form, suitable only for conducting internal tests in service centers.
The only manufacturer that leaves the engineering menu unchanged is Taiwanese MediaTek. Therefore, if you are the “lucky” owner of a device with an MTK processor installed, you can use it.
How to get to the engineering menu?
Access to the engineering menu is provided by simply typing a code. If you have ever checked the balance on your phone using a USSD request, you can assume that the principle is familiar to you. The required access code is entered using the traditional “dialer”, the “Phone” application, the purpose of which is to dial telephone numbers and “stars” with hash marks. It looks like this:
*#*#3646633#*#*
In most cases, simultaneously with typing the last character, you will be taken to the engineering menu. Some smartphones will require an additional press of the “call” button, creating the complete illusion of completing a USSD request.
In fact, these settings are similar to the Windows registry. With their help, you can change any sound parameters, but the user, when performing these actions, must be aware of their consequences. The volume should not be increased by more than 10-20%.
Working with sound
Once in the command interface, go to the “Hardware Testing” section, “Audio” submenu. All the settings responsible for increasing the volume are collected here. We will assume that before getting into the engineering menu, you have decided what you need to do.
Conversation volume
If you think that problems with the audibility of subscribers during a conversation are related to the hardware configuration, you need the Normal mode section.
It, in the Type line, contains parameters responsible for the volume of the earpiece speaker:
- Sip. Responsible for the sound quality of calls in Internet instant messengers such as Skype, Viber, Telegram and the like;
- Sph. A speaker that you put to your ear while talking;
- Sph 2. Second speaker, used in older models.
The Value parameter is responsible for increasing the volume. Next to it are the values that it can take, from min to max. The Level line indicates the level of the value being adjusted. Usually the maximum is used, in the screenshot it is the sixth. Before changing parameters, write down or remember the existing readings so that if unsuccessful, you can return to them. Each action must be confirmed by pressing the Set button to record the manually specified value into the device.
If you were not mistaken in the “diagnosis” and the problem was really hidden in incorrect settings, after rebooting the device, you will receive an increased sound level during a call.
Ringer volume
To increase the volume of the speaker responsible for playing the melody of an incoming call, you should use the Ring menu. The actions in it are completely similar to those given above.
Value is responsible for the general value, Headset is for the sound that is heard in the headphones during a call. You need to be careful with this parameter so as not to get a sound “bang” when receiving a call. Set the required values, after saving the default ones. Correctly selected indicators will ultimately result in a loud and clear call. But, we remind you, you should not set the maximum values, so as not to damage the speaker or get only wheezing and clanging at the output.
Finally
As you can see, there is nothing complicated in working with the engineering menu. The main thing is the presence of a MediaTek processor in your device and a clear understanding of the consequences of your actions. Otherwise, you will get a non-working device and a trip to the service center.
Mobile devices running Android have firmly entered our lives, managing to partially replace the functionality of desktop computers. Modern smartphones allow you to browse websites on the Internet, work with graphics and text files, listen to music, communicate and much more. In terms of hardware characteristics, phones, however, are inferior to computers and laptops; for example, the speakers in smartphones are usually weaker than in the same laptops, but sound is a very important component for any communication device.
Increase volume on Android
Normal volume is needed not only for comfortable listening to music and watching movies. Too weak a sound can lead to the fact that in a noisy place the user simply cannot hear the call. Fortunately, most modern smartphones offer flexible customization using special built-in and third-party tools. From our small guide you will learn how to increase the volume on Android and what you will need for this.
Standard settings
Before rushing to use advanced tools, take a look at your device's settings. Many phones have several customizable sound profiles; perhaps the speakers on your device are working at half capacity because the wrong profile is simply selected in the settings. Activating another profile is the easiest and most affordable way to make the sound on Android louder.
The setting you need may be called differently on different smartphone models; for us it’s “Ringtones and notifications”. Usually the main profile is set by default; let’s choose “Street” instead.
That's it, the sound will immediately become a little louder. On your phone, profiles may be called something else, often presented as modes, for example, “Movie”, “Music”, etc. Please note, however, that in any case the maximum volume will be limited by system settings. To increase the sound on an Android phone more than standard means allow, you need to take workarounds.
Engineering menu
An order of magnitude more possibilities in terms of increasing the volume on Android are provided by the hidden part of the device settings, which can be accessed by dialing a special code on the phone. The table below shows the codes for entering the engineering menu on devices from different manufacturers. The specified combinations are entered in the telephone dialer.
You can also access hidden settings using the free Engineer Mode MTK application.
Let's see how to increase the volume on Android through the engineering menu. In it you need to find the “Audio” section, where all the necessary parameters are located, namely Normal Mode and Headset Mode.
The first mode is active when a headset is not connected to the smartphone, the second is activated when headphones or speakers are connected. To start, open the Normal Mode settings and set the “Type” option to Media, and for the “Value” and “Max” options. Level" (Max Vol) set values higher than the default ones. For example, if your Value is 32 and Max Vol is 128, try setting the first to 50 and the second to 140.
Apply the new settings by clicking both Set buttons. The same manipulations must be performed for the next levels (Level 1, Level 2, etc.), each time slightly increasing the values upward and not forgetting to apply the new settings. It is not recommended to set values exceeding the permissible values, as this may reduce the sound quality. Please also note that the “Type” option, in addition to the Media mode, which is responsible for the volume when playing multimedia content, supports other parameters, namely:
- Sip – volume for Internet calls;
- Mic – microphone sensitivity;
- Sph – speaker volume;
- Ring – incoming call volume;
- FMR – FM radio volume.
If necessary, you can adjust these settings in the same way. The exception is the Sid parameter, changing the values of which can lead to an echo effect during a conversation. As for the Headset Mode, which in Android smartphones is responsible for the volume when a headset is connected, the procedure for setting it up is practically no different from the procedure for setting up the Normal Mode. The situation is exactly the same with the LoudSpeaker Mode, which allows you to increase the volume of the speaker on Android.
Before making changes to hidden settings, it is recommended to write down the old values of system parameters, this will allow you to recover in case of failure.
The best sound amplifier programs for Android
Changing settings through the built-in engineering menu is not the only working way to adjust the sound in phones. How else can you increase the speaker volume on Android? Using special volume amplifier applications, which can be found on Google Play.
Volume Booster from GOODEV
Perhaps the best program that allows you to really enhance the sound on your Android phone. It is characterized by simplicity and a minimum number of parameters. After installation, you need to go to the general settings and enable, if disabled, the options “Show volume control” (showing the volume control) and Non-uniform boost (non-standard gain). Volume Booster has its limitations. The application does not work on most devices running Android below version 4.3; it can only be used to enhance sound in gameplay and when playing multimedia.
Amplifier
Sound amplifier program for Android from the developer FeniKsenia. This is a simple, convenient and effective application that can boost the volume of speakers, bypassing system restrictions. Adjustment is carried out by dragging the two sliders “Volume” and “Gain”. Like Volume Booster, Audio Booster is designed to increase the volume when playing multimedia content.
Loud Volume Booster for Speakers
In search of an answer to the question of how to boost sound on Android, you should try another application from FeniKsenia called Loud Volume Booster for Speakers. It is very similar to Sound Booster, but can be used not only to increase the volume of multimedia playback, but also to increase the sound level in gameplay, when receiving system notifications, and so on. You can also adjust the volume in Loud Volume Booster for Speakers by dragging two sliders.
Bottom line
Well, we hope that after reading this article it will not be difficult for you to increase the sound on your Android device. Beginner users may only encounter difficulties when working with the engineering menu. In any case, try to adhere to the rule of the golden mean and do not increase the volume to the maximum values, otherwise you risk rendering your smartphone's speakers unusable.
Many smartphone users need to increase the sound level on the device. This may be due to either the maximum volume of the phone being too low or due to some kind of breakdown. In this article we will look at the main methods that allow you to perform all sorts of manipulations on the sound of your gadget.
In total, there are three main methods for manipulating the sound level of a smartphone, there is one more, but it is not applicable to all devices. In any case, each user will find a suitable option for themselves.
Method 1: Standard volume increase
This method is known to all phone users. It consists of using the hardware volume up and down buttons. As a rule, they are located on the side panel of the mobile device.
When you press one of these buttons, a characteristic menu for changing the sound level will appear at the top of the phone screen.
As you know, the sound of smartphones is divided into several categories: calls, multimedia and alarm. Pressing the hardware buttons changes the type of sound that is currently being used. In other words, if any video is played, the audio of the media will change.
It is also possible to adjust all types of sound. To do this, when increasing the volume level, click on the special arrow - as a result, a complete list of sounds will open.
To change sound levels, move the sliders around the screen using regular taps.
Method 2: Settings
If the hardware buttons for adjusting the volume level break down, you can perform the same steps as described above using the settings. To do this, follow the algorithm:
Method 3: Special Applications
There are cases when it is not possible to use the first methods or they are not suitable. This applies to situations where the maximum sound level that can be achieved in this way is not satisfactory to the user. Then third-party software comes to the rescue, presented in a fairly wide range in the open spaces.
Some manufacturers have such programs built into the standard configuration of the device. Therefore, it is not always necessary to download them. Directly in this article, as an example, we will look at the process of increasing the sound level using the free Volume Booster GOODEV application.
Method 3: Engineering menu
Not many people know that almost any smartphone has a secret menu that allows you to perform some manipulations on the mobile device, including adjusting the sound. It is called engineering and was created for developers to finalize the device settings.
- First you need to get into this menu. Open the phone number dialer and enter the appropriate code. This combination differs for devices from different manufacturers.
- After selecting the correct code, the engineering menu will open. Use swipes to go to the section "Hardware Testing" and tap on the item "Audio".
- There are several sound modes in this section, and each can be customized:
- Normal Mode - normal sound playback mode without using headphones and other things;
- Headset Mode — mode of operation with connected headphones;
- LoudSpeaker Mode - speakerphone;
- Headset_LoudSpeaker Mode - speakerphone with headphones;
- Speech Enhancement - conversation mode with an interlocutor.
- Go to the settings of the required mode. In the points marked in the screenshot, you can increase the current volume level, as well as the maximum allowable one.

| *#*#3646633#*#* |
Be careful when working in the engineering menu! Any incorrect setting can seriously affect the performance of your device for the worse. Therefore, try to adhere to the algorithm presented below as much as possible.
Method 4: Installing the patch
For many smartphones, enthusiasts have developed special patches, the installation of which allows you to both improve the quality of the reproduced sound and simply increase the playback volume. However, such patches are not so easy to find and install, so it is better for inexperienced users not to take on this matter at all.
