Engineering menu android 6.0 volume. Using standard system capabilities. Eliminate spontaneous volume changes

Every owner of a smartphone with the Android operating system ("Android") has probably more than once encountered inconsistencies in the sound volume in different device options or the problem of too quiet speakers, even in the maximum volume mode. This becomes especially unpleasant when the sound cannot be increased even through the phone settings. However, there are other ways, for example, using the engineering menu. Increasing the volume in this case is not difficult.

How the sound is regulated on phones and tablets running Android OS ("Android")

The developers have laid down different volume modes in the Android OS, designed for different situations of using a smartphone, which depend on the connected devices. Thus, without a headset, the sound on the phone can be quiet, and when headphones are connected, it can sharply deafen the melody of an incoming call. It is to eliminate such misunderstandings that you need to adjust the sound and change the volume using hidden methods.

How to change alarm, ringtone, music and video volume through settings

Sound control on an Android smartphone is possible through the buttons on its body, as well as through the internal settings of the standard menu. The setup methods are the same for smartphones and tablets, so you can easily figure out the functionality.

Go to device settings and select the "Sounds and notifications" section.
Select the section "Sounds and notifications"

Depending on the version of the system, you need to either click on the gear opposite the active mode, or open the "Volume" subsection. If you are afraid of losing the standard settings, you can add a new mode.
Click on the gear opposite the active mode

In the window that opens, depending on the version of the system, the following items for changing the volume will be available:

Adjust the settings to anticipate all possible situations and prevent unexpected explosive sounds when a call or alarm rings.

The window will contain all the items that can be changed through the standard settings

Another reason for a too loud or insufficiently quiet call may be the installed melodies themselves. Standard sounds are usually equalized in loudness, but there can be found those whose beginning consists of bright, sharp sounds, in contrast to others, where the sound rises slowly and gradually.

Open the "Ringtone" item in the sound settings.
A quiet ringtone is one of the possible reasons why you may not hear the phone ringing

Listen to the suggested melodies and choose the one that suits you best.
To listen to the melody, click on it with your finger

Adjust the notification volume settings in the same way by visiting the corresponding section of the sound menu.
Customize notification sounds similar to choosing a ringtone

Check the other options and see if sounds such as key tones when dialing, screen taps and screen lock sounds interfere with you.
Check only the sounds you want or set vibration

You can change the sound level very quickly using the buttons on your smartphone or tablet.Manufacturers specifically carry these buttons to the body so that you can find them without looking and increase or decrease the sound. However, there are very few settings in this mode.

Pressing the volume buttons up or down will display the corresponding sliders on the device screen.

In some models, from this screen, you can go to detailed settings by clicking on the corresponding icon to the right of the volume slider.

On some devices, a special button is displayed for accessing settings

Sometimes a smartphone spontaneously goes into silent or quiet mode, for no apparent reason. This happens most often with Samsung, HTC and Lenovo devices. This situation can arise when the sound profile is changed from soft to loud, followed by an outgoing call. When the call is completed, the new profile may get lost, and the gadget will erroneously restore the previous one. The solution is to reboot the device after changing the sound profile. This problem is associated with bugs in the firmware version and is usually fixed by the developers with the release of updates.

Increase the volume through the engineering menu

You can make more flexible sound settings if you get into the Andoid engineering menu. However, it is not so easy to get into this section of the device. The developers specially hid it from the eyes of ordinary users so that they could not knock off the settings and disrupt the operation of their device.

But for smartphone owners who want to understand everything and thoroughly study the operation of their device, the ability to access such settings is a real gift.

Do not forget that a thoughtless change in the parameters in the engineering menu can lead to a malfunction of the gadget.

Before you change anything, you need to read all the available information on this item, compare with how it looks on your device, think about how you can quickly return everything back in case of unexpected behavior of the gadget. Only if you are confident in your own actions, you can proceed with the settings. It is best if, before making changes, you will take a screenshot of the screen or rewrite the original values \u200b\u200bin a notepad so that you can restore them back.

Opening a menu through a call

To enter the engineering settings menu, you do not need much effort and Root rights. The menu is entered through the dialing interface using a special code.

The access codes to the engineering menu are different for all devices, since they are set by the manufacturer, not by the system. All of them will be presented in the table below.

You need to dial the code for entering the engineering menu in the same way as a regular phone number. The engineering menu usually opens on its own after typing the last character of the code. If this does not happen, press the "Call" key.

Try different options if the first one doesn't work.

Table: access codes

Opening the menu through the application

If none of the codes suits you, try downloading a special utility from the Play Market that will create a separate shortcut to go to the engineering menu.

Open the Play Market and enter "engineer mode" in the search bar and select the first application you like.
All applications for entering the engineering menu are the same, so you can choose any

Install and run the application.
The application will weigh very little and installation will not take long

You will either be automatically sent to the engineering menu, or you will have to clarify the manufacturer of your device (or processor).
In some cases, you will need to check the manufacturer of your device

Increase the volume: step by step instructions

First thing you need to do is open the Audio section. If it is not available initially, swipe left a few times to open the Hardware Testing tab.
Open the Audio section in the Hardware Testing tab

Now you will see a list of modes available for changing, you need to select one of the proposed ones.

The meanings of all modes are described in the table below.

Now select the parameter to change under Type.
The meanings of all sound parameters are described in the table below.

Select the volume level you want to adjust. There are 7 of them (from 0 to 6). These are the same levels that are set in the standard settings of the smartphone (when you press the volume up or down button on the smartphone body, the level changes). It is best to start from zero and the last level.

Set up the first and last levels first

Similarly, you need to set the volume limit (Max Vol.). This is the maximum volume possible.
Set the volume limit of the selected level and press Set

In accordance with the set values, set the remaining levels so that the volume change through the buttons was the most smooth.
Calculate the volume levels on the calculator and adjust the missing

How to increase the volume through apps

In addition to the standard settings and the system engineering menu, there are special programs that allow you to make additional changes to the sound parameters of a smartphone or tablet. Different programs do not work correctly on all devices, since they interfere with the normal functioning of the phone, and this is not welcomed by manufacturers. All of the programs described below are available in the Play Market.

You should also understand that such services for editing any limitations of the smartphone, which are not available for changing in normal ways, may cause disruption to the operation of the gadget and, as a result, only worsen its performance.

Volume + (most reliable app)

This application is available only in English, but it is the least controversial and almost unable to cause unfortunate consequences for your smartphone.

Find Volume + in the Play Market and install it.
It's pointless to download the paid version of Volume +

Launch the application and select the "Speaker Settings" section.
Volume + has many features, but you won't need many of them

The next screen will display a list of the parameters available to change. First check Speaker Modifications and Virtual Room Effect.
Check Speaker Modifications and Virtual Room Effect

Then increase Volume Level, Bass Enchance, and Virtual Room one notch (this will increase the volume slightly).
Increase the marked parameters one notch and check the effect

A sharp increase in parameters can cause freezes, failures and other troubles in the operation of the device.

JetAudio (equalizer and effects settings)

Jet Audio belongs to the category of equalizers and is a very functional program: it has an audio converter, player and ripper. Equalizer is just one of its options. The standard sound mode she uses is Normal Mode.

Search for JetAudio in the Play Market and install it.
JetAudio may be called a player or equalizer, but they are one and the same program

Click on the button in the upper right corner to open the drop-down settings menu.
If the "Equalizer" button is available from the main screen, click on it

Select "Sound Effects ...".
If the "Sound Effects ..." button is missing, find the equalizer through the "Settings"

Now open "Equalizer".
The rest of the buttons that appear may also be useful to you, especially the sound amplifier

On this tab, you can safely experiment with all the values \u200b\u200bwithout fear of harming the device. If you click on the button in the upper right corner, a list of additional built-in programs for changing the sound settings will open.
All changes made can be very easily returned back.

The parameter with a value of 60 Hz must be left unchanged.

Do not forget that by increasing the volume of the sound, you lose in its quality, since not all models of smartphones and tablets are designed for good melodies. Some devices have weak speakers, the extra load on which will cause wheezing and extraneous sounds. Do not burn out the speaker and take care of your gadget.

Volume Booster Plus (automatic sound adjustment)

The program is available in the Play Market and is the easiest to use.

After installing and launching the application, you will see only one button that you need to click on.

Ways to strengthen the speaker with improvised means

There are some tricky tricks that can help you increase the volume on your device in a very simple way. To do this, you only need materials at hand and a minimum knowledge of the laws of physics.

How to remove the limitation of the maximum sound level

Smartphone and tablet manufacturers often set a software limit on changing volume settings. That is, using the interface, you can set one sound level, but in fact the gadget will make sounds much quieter than we would like.

It is believed that in order to bypass such a limitation, it is necessary to reset the gadget settings to the factory settings. However, there is no exact data on how this will affect exactly your device. There are a lot of gadget models, each manufacturer follows its own logic when setting standard settings. Resetting the parameters will inevitably lead to the deletion of data in the phone. Therefore, if the effect of the applications to increase the volume is not enough for you, prepare well and make a backup copy of the information from the device.

Reset the settings to factory settings, and then select the North America region as the default for your gadget. This is due to the fact that smartphone manufacturers impose such restrictions in some countries, where the norms of society may prohibit the use of parameters that could violate the rights of others.

One of the main problems with cheap smartphones is the poor quality of the built-in speakers, which causes serious difficulties in sound reproduction. However, a few simple methods, from built-in parameters to using available tools, will help owners of smartphones with Android OS quickly navigate the situation and change the sound settings to more comfortable ones.

A huge advantage of all devices running on the Android operating system is the ability to customize them. The user can change literally everything, from the appearance of the shell to the addition of some new functions and capabilities to the OS, like absolutely in all applications and browsers. Google at one time added to its proprietary software many hidden settings, one of which allows you to significantly increase the volume above the maximum.

In absolutely all Android smartphones there is a hidden setting, thanks to which you can increase the volume by 20-30%, making the phone much louder. This can be useful in a variety of situations, such as when listening to music at home or elsewhere, as it will provide enough volume for a mini disco. In addition, it will not be superfluous to increase the sound during incoming calls, since in this case the likelihood of accidentally missing them when the phone is in the next room decreases.

You can increase the volume through the engineering menu available in the Android operating system. Immediately, we note that this procedure does not require root superuser rights, so the volume can be increased without any difficulty. It is also worth noting that some manufacturers deliberately block access to the engineering menu in order to protect users from unauthorized interference with the OS.

To increase the volume of an Android smartphone, you need to type the command *#*#3646633#*#* (in some individual phone models it may be different - use Google). In the engineering menu that opens, you need to scroll through the top menu, and then go to the section Hardware Testing, and further into Audio... If everything is done correctly, then the screen will display two sections Normal Modeand Headset Mode... The former is responsible for the speaker volume, and the latter is responsible for that in the headphones.

Having opened the first section, in the top menu, click on Type and choose Media... As a value Level must be left Level 0... To increase the volume, you need to Value is 0 ~ 255 and Max Vol. 0 ~ 160 set new indicators higher than the original ones. If the default was 32 and 128, then you can safely change them to 45 and 160, but after each new action you should press the button Set.

Similar manipulations must be done with all other Level values, proportionally changing their value upwards. The editors of the site have prepared a list of optimal indicators that allow you to increase the volume above the maximum on most smartphones running on the Android operating system

• Level 0 - 45/160
• Level 1 - 60/160
• Level 2 - 75/160
• Level 3 - 90/160
• Level 4 - 105/160
• Level 5 - 120/160
• Level 6 - 135/160
• Level 7 - 150/160
• Level 8 - 165/160
• Level 9 - 180/160
• Level 10 - 195/160
• Level 11 - 210/160
• Level 12 - 225/160
• Level 13 - 240/160
• Level 14 - 255/160

As you can easily see, the first item from level to level is proportionally increased by 15, while the last option is always 160. After all the values \u200b\u200bare set, you should exit the engineering menu and restart the smartphone. If everything was done correctly, the volume of the speakers will increase by 20-30%. At first glance, it may seem that all this is extremely difficult, but in reality it is far from the case. The whole process takes no more than 5-10 minutes.

Until March 10 inclusive, everyone has a unique opportunity Xiaomi Mi Band 3, spending only 2 minutes of their personal time on it.

Each cell phone is rated for its own volume limit. Generally speaking, a high volume of the phone is needed only so that your device can be heard always and everywhere. Only schoolchildren are now listening to music through the main speaker, in order to demonstrate the superiority of their phones over their peers.

Our experts can easily increase the volume limit of almost any smartphone. If you have any questions - feel free to contact us! You can contact us by mail or call one of the phones:,

Sometimes there is a need to increase the volume of the phone - for some models, for example, the call is hardly distinguishable on the street. How to increase the volume of an android - a lot of materials on the Internet. Summarizing all the information, we can summarize the following and answer this question:

• You can increase the speaker volume programmatically. For the android operating system, many programs have been created, with the help of which the task of increasing the volume becomes quite solvable. For example, in one of the IncreasingRing programs it looks like this:

• You can also increase the volume of an android smartphone throughengineering menu. To call it, you need to type a special command in the call menu. In different versions of operating systems, android needs its own call combination.

Here is a list of all the combinations of calling the engineering menu on android:

• *#*#3646633#*#*
• *#15963#*
• *#*#4636#*#*

By typing one of these combinations, we get access to the engineering menu, which, as a rule, is also in Russian on the Russian versions of the android.

As for the iOS operating system, you can also increase the volume of your iPhone quite simply:

1. Enlarging with the buttons of the device or using the touch screen is a primitive method, but sometimes iPhone users forget about this.
2. Also, the volume of the iPhone is increased from the phone menu. To do this, we need to go to the Settings menu and select the Sounds sub-item. Use the touch screen to move the value to the right.
3. If you are dissatisfied with all the main standard methods and the volume of the iPhone speaker still seems to be low for you, then you can resort to increasing the volume by changing the system settings, however, you must be extremely careful not to affect the settings that are significant for the system and thereby not disrupt your smartphone. We go to the system folder, then along the following path:

/System/Library/Frameworks/Celestial.framework. Inside this folder is a file called SystemSoundMaximumVolume that contains the volume settings for the entire iPhone system. In it, the default volume parameter is set to 0.7. You need to replace the value with 0.99 and restart your phone. If everything is done correctly, you will get the desired result.

Sound is one of the most important features of any smartphone or tablet, so it is vital that the sound is loud enough and of high quality. In this article we will talk about how to adjust the volume on Android, as well as raise the sound quality.

How to adjust volume on Android

Of course, we will not talk about professional sound tuning, but we will try to touch on the necessary basics.

Sound quality can be divided into several main parameters:

• Sound volume - it should be sufficient to hear the phone ringing in a very noisy place or listen to music like from a tape recorder
• Accurate playback of the audio file, matching the amplitude to the desired frequency
• The amount of noise - you are unlikely to enjoy listening to a "wheezing" or "choking" speaker at full or even medium volume

And we will dwell on each of these parameters in more detail. Let's start with the latter.

Sound purity on Android

The amount of noise on Android directly depends on the hardware of your device, or rather on the audio chip and sound output device, be it a speaker, headphones or an external speaker. In devices of the upper price segment, high-quality audio chips with excellent sound performance are usually installed, and with a decrease in the cost of a device, the quality of an audio chip decreases, with rare exceptions. With an external speaker, this trend continues, so it is almost impossible to reduce the amount of noise on a well-tuned device.

This means we should pay more attention to the other two sound parameters on Android.

Improving sound quality on Android

The second indicator can be the most subjective, so most likely you will need to customize it for yourself. Many firmwares for Android have pre-installed equalizers, which will help in setting up Android sound. But we will consider a universal method, a special Viper4android application, which has proven itself well among thousands of users. Its only drawback is the need for Root rights to change system files.

Let's take a closer look at the program and find out how to adjust the sound quality on Android. First, download the Viper4android program from the Play Store and install it on your Android device. Next, let's go point by point:

• Run the program
• Asks to update the driver, agree and select the desired sound quality - High quality, Medium and Economic (it should be noted that the quality level affects the battery consumption)
• After choosing the quality, it will ask for permission to use Root rights, we provide
• After updating the driver, do not press anything, reboot the device
• Now you can start setting up the sound

Viper4android allows you to achieve simply incredibly juicy and high-quality sound, even with a low initial potential of the device.

We'll go over the best options for customizing this feature-rich app.

In the program, press the menu button, "Interface" and select "Expert". You now have access to all the sound settings in the application.

In addition, the program has the ability to install ready-made driver settings from such popular "enhancers" as Beats Audio, Ipod, Sony Ericsson and others. To do this, scroll down to the Convolver, turn it on and select "Impulse", initially of course there will be nothing there, but you can download the required configuration file (.irs) from this link and install it in the ViPER4Android / Kernel folder in the device's memory. After that you can select the installed enhancer in the “Impulse” item. Then, to your liking, adjust all other settings to the best level.

If, after numerous adjustments, the proper effect of improving the sound quality did not follow, there may be some conflict with another program. Try disabling any other sound enhancers in your firmware, and also try enabling compatibility with other players in the program settings.

Finally, let's move on to the most important question: How to increase and adjust the volume on Android? First you need to understand what volume we want to increase. This can be the volume of the external speaker, in order to better hear the call or listen to music, the volume in headphones or a headset, or the volume of the Android speaker in order to better hear the interlocutor, or maybe the volume of the Android microphone.

How to increase speaker volume on Android

First, let's make sure we've turned up the Android volume as much as possible in the phone's settings. To do this, go to "Settings" ➨ "Sound" ➨ "Volume". In this menu, you can adjust the volume of calls and SMS notifications, alarm volume, as well as the volume of music and video.

It is very pleasant to listen to music through a loud speaker, especially when it is built into your phone or tablet, but in most cases, the manufacturer of Android devices does not turn the volume up to maximum, so we have the opportunity to increase the volume of the android using various methods. One of these ways is the engineering menu. However, if you are afraid to press something wrong, it is better to use a safer method.

How to increase the volume of Android through the engineering menu

Unfortunately, not all smartphones have access to the engineering menu, so this method is suitable for devices based on the Mediatek processor and some others. So, to enter the engineering menu, you need to enter the code through the dialer, the codes can be found in the table below.

If your device has an MTK chipset and you have root rights, you can download the MobileUncle Tools application in the Play Store, it will greatly facilitate the setup process.

After entering the engineering menu, you need to find the Audio section, everything is hidden in it:

• Normal Mode - in normal mode, without external audio devices
• Headset Mode - the mode of the connected headset (headphones)
• LoudSpeaker Mode - speakerphone mode
• Headset_LoudSpeaker Mode - hands-free mode with a connected headset
• Speech Enhancement - phone conversation mode

Select the desired mode for setting - Normal Mode, then you need to select the type of the configured device:

• Sip - volume of internet calls
• Mic - microphone volume
• Sph - volume of the spoken speaker (for talking on the phone)
• Sph2 - second earpiece (rare)
• Sid - do not touch (problems are possible!)
• Media is what we need! Media playback volume (Music, Games, Video)
• Ring is also what you need! ringer volume
• FMR - FM radio volume

Attention! Before changing the volume settings, overwrite the factory defaults to revert the previous settings in case of unsuccessful changes.

Most likely we need the maximum level, namely 6. And we change the value to the desired one, maximum 255, but I do not advise setting it, the sound quality may deteriorate and the speaker's service life will decrease, the optimal value will be 220-240.

In the video you can see an example of setting up the MobileUncle Tools program:

How to increase Android volume using Volume +

This method is more universal, you just need to download the program to increase the volume of Android - Volume + in the Play Store and launch it. Next, select the desired mod, as in the engineering menu. Speaker is an external speaker, Headset is a headset, and Bluetooth is a wireless headset or speaker.

• Turn on Speaker Modifications
• Click on Volume Level
• We select the desired gain level, up to +4
• You can also boost the bass right away - Bass Enhance

That's all, in a few minutes we increased the volume of Android to the desired level. If you still have any questions and you could not adjust the volume on Android, then feel free to ask them below in the comments!

Frequently Asked Questions

Hello, I can not find audio in the engineering menu or something similar to increase the volume

Hello! Look in the engineering menu for this command * # * # 83781 # * # *, if you don’t find it, then use the second method from this article.

There are a lot of mobile phones on the market now. And every month more and more new models appear, and each of them is something special. But whatever your phone is - a smartphone, a clamshell, an ordinary black-and-white device - sometimes the question arises: how to increase the volume on the phone? We will try to help you with this.

Decide what volume you need

First you need to figure out which volume you want to increase. The fact is that in any phone there are several volume settings - the volume of music playback, the volume of the speaker during a telephone conversation, the volume of the call, etc. For example, you are not happy with the volume of music playing on your phone. There are several ways to fix this. First of all, you need to adjust the equalizer. Any player has such a function with which you can strengthen the bass, increase the power of the vocal sound. In addition, the equalizer has several pre-programmed sound options - blues, soul, rock, and so on. By choosing between these options, you can choose the most pleasant sound for yourself. Also, in each player, you can adjust the volume using the side keys, which are responsible for the overall volume. Or if these keys are not on the side of the device, you need to look for them in the player's menu.

We increase the sound using the program

If the sound still does not suit you, you can use a special program to increase the volume. In particular, there is an easy-to-use program mp3Gain. You need to install it on your computer, load into it all the tracks that you want to make it louder, and set the desired volume level.

Increasing the sound during a conversation

If during a telephone conversation you hardly hear the interlocutor, then you also need to increase the volume level. How do I turn up the volume on my phone? This is usually done using the aforementioned side keys, which are responsible for the overall volume. It happens that during a conversation, a person accidentally presses these keys, and the sound becomes quieter. In this case, pressing the side buttons will increase the volume. If there are no side keys, most likely the sound is controlled with the joystick, which must be flicked up.

Increase the volume on incoming calls

If your phone sounds weak when another subscriber calls and you hardly hear incoming calls, you need to adjust the volume on your phone. This is done in the settings. Any phone has a menu with settings. There you need to select the "sounds" menu (in some phones this menu is called "signals"). Some phones have a default beep volume set to low to prevent damage to your hearing.
