The speakers of the phone allow us to hear incoming calls, enjoy our favorite music. But it happens that the volume level does not satisfy the user. We will talk about ways to adjust sound parameters in our article.
How to adjust the sound on a smartphone using buttons and settings
Before proceeding to the radical methods of changing the sound, make sure that the standard controls on the phone are fully used.
We go along the path Settings - Sound - Volume. Raise the level to the optimum value and check the result. We will use the key on the side panel of the smartphone and shift the sound volume up if the slider displayed on the screen is in the lower position.
REFERENCE! In the models of the latest generations (Android 6 and above), it is possible to separately adjust the sound of the alarm clock, audio and video files, ringtone. The volume of calls changes in the settings, on the main screen, etc., using the appropriate buttons (depending on the device). To change the sound level of an alarm, you need to go to the window where it is installed and use the volume buttons. When viewing audio or video materials by pressing the key, you can change their volume.
How to increase the volume on an Android device through the engineering menu
For many models, the ability to additionally adjust the volume is blocked. Why do developers block access? Thus, the manufacturer protects the system from unprofessional interference. The tool was originally designed to test the manufacturer's phone performance and set their optimal values.
IMPORTANT! Manipulations are usually committed without superuser privileges. However, in some models you will have to resort to the help of applications that allow you to obtain these rights (for example, Farmoot, Romaster SU, etc.)
If the headphones are playing quietly, you can try the following:
- We will go into the menu by typing the appropriate command in the call window. The combination depends on the brand of the device, for example, in Alcatel (as well as Fly and Texet): * # * # 3646633 # * # *. On the Internet you can find relevant information specifically for your model.
- To increase the volume of calls, go to the Hardware Testing in the service menu, then to Audio and select LoudSpeaker Mode. Use the Ring option. Sound levels are indicated in the drop-down list. Change each value in increasing order. Example for levels 1-6: 60-75-90-105-120-135. In line Max Vol. enter the optimal value of 160 (or whatever you see fit). The SET key saves the changed parameters.
- To increase the volume of telephone conversations in the same Audio section, go to the Normal Mode section and use the Sph tool. Adjust the values of the levels within 100-150, the level of Max Vol. set at the maximum value (or at your discretion).
- You can increase the microphone sensitivity if you select Mic in the Normal Mode section. Enter identical values for all levels (e.g. 150). Save the settings (SET), restart the smartphone and check the change in audibility (record your voice or call someone).
In special cases, codes may not work. Third-party utilities will help to solve the problem, they are available for download on the Playmarket website. List of the most commonly used applications:
- "Launch of the MTK engineering menu". Allows you to use hidden options, bypassing the command input. It works on almost all versions of Android (from 2 to 5). It is a quick and easy to use tool. Disadvantage: in the event of a reboot of the smartphone, it will be necessary to increase the sound level again, since it will return to the initial value.
- Mobileuncle Tools. Provides instant and full access to the engineering menu. It has its own advanced settings that allow you to control most of the parameters of the smartphone. Minus of the program: superuser rights will be required, it works exclusively with MTK processors.
- Shortcut Master. The application does not directly open access to the function, however, it finds and issues in the form of a list possible digital commands for your phone that allow you to activate access. When you click on a combination, a list of actions appears, among which there is a line "Run" that launches the selected code.
Having activated the engineering menu, go to the Audio section. Headset adjustment is activated using Headset Mode. We change the level values gradually, by about 10%, save using SET and check the sound in the headphones. If necessary, we return to the menu and increase the parameters, each time testing the result.
IMPORTANT! There are devices that do not support hidden functions. Another problem may be the automatic reset of the changes made upon reboot.
