Umi Super Volume **FIX**

Beatertech

Edited by Beatertech at 2016-8-12 03:16

To get a better quality sound from your phone disable all the bass boosters and audio enhancers and run it through the native or 3rd party equaliser,  volume increases and more richer sound.  There is also the below for further mods and tweaks to sound, please note that UMI do not officially support this mod so please tweak at your own risk (* i have and it works)
You have to enter engineer mode and to do this you have to type the following in phone dialer *#*#3646633#*#*
swipe accross to hardware testing >audio>volume

Can someone else doube check the above and confirm also add to this thread for further mods to the volume. Thanks.

Beatertech

Ok further investigation points to the sound enhancement options hampering the volume and quality of the sound.

Disable the sound enhancements and run music through the built in equaliser or a 3rd party version.  You will notice louder sounds and better quality.

If anyone else can try  this for me that would be great, I'm not going mad sound enhancement does not work as intended.

It is sad that in order to put the things right in a phone (that it should be corrected by UMI devs) we have to install 3rd party apps.
So I managed to find a solution (to my case) about volume in income calls:
In Engineer mode its not enough to set higher UL GAIN or/and SIDETONE GAIN, if you dont set new index values....
NB
HEADSET
UL GAIN = 180
sidetone gain = 0

index 0 - 44
index 1 - 60
index 2 - 80
index 3 - 100
index 4 - 120
index 5 - 140
index 6 - 160
This have worked for me... despite the tunnel effect sound, the incoming call volume is now fine.

Yes, i totally agree with you.
The sound is better without any enhancement options.

sivecky

I don't change voice for calls, but changed for headphones and its definitely works well. 148/160 range is ok for me. Default 124 is too low in my opinion.
Proper code for engineer mode is *#*#3646633#*#*

Great, I hope that UMI developers tweak some of these settings for an update, thanks for pointing out the code error.  Just corrected it

Hi,

When I make a phone call, the sound of the other person is like he was in a metal box. How do I change the volume or what should I do?

kind regards

norstadt

I can barely hear the other person when I make voice calls. I change the voice settings in Engineer Mode to NB HEADSET GAIN=180 but that didn't make much of a difference.

The opening post also mentions "run it through the native or 3rd party equaliser", how can I do this?

Thanks.

Hi,  

Settings /sound and notification / sound enhancement

Then make sure everything is off.

Open play store and install a graphic equaliser of your choice, I went with 'equalizer fx'  it's free.  Then when you run any music playback like deezer or Google music make sure under setting of that application is using the recent install of 'equalizer fx'

Hope that helps.

norstadt

@Beatertech - Thanks for your reply. I already have all sound enhancements turned off. My issue is not with the music, it is with the volume when in a voice call. Will the equalizer help with that?
