Increase Volume of a Cell Phone's External speaker

Today's cell phones often come with external speakers to allow the user to talk while doing other activities or to allow others in the room to hear the caller. As convenient as they are, they can still be difficult to hear at the volume setting set by the manufacturer. Follow these fairly standard steps to adjust the volume on your cell phone speaker to allow easier listening.

Hacking Your Odyssey: Increasing Speaker And Microphone Volume

So it’s been several months now since I bought The Odyssey CVDQ-M56 phone. I’ve been very pleased with it to say the least. Last weekend, I was bored and long story short I started hacking my Odyssey.

THE RESULT: I managed to increase my microphone AND speaker volume.

Read on if you too would like an overall volume increase – but be warned. What we are about to do involves playing around with the phone’s Engineering Mode. Be very careful and only make the changes suggested in this blog post.

Changing other settings may have consequences beyond your worst imaginings. We’re serious we’re talking human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together… mass hysteria here.

So lets get to work on improving the sound quality of your phone. (PS to see a larger version of the pictures just click on them and you will see the pictures in high resolution)

1) Getting into Engineering Mode.


From The Odyssey’s touchscreen dial pad, enter the following sequence:

*#3646633#

2) Getting to the specific menu


From the main menu, press the 3rd option labelled AUDIO.


Once you are in the AUDIO menu, press NORMAL MODE.

3) Speaker


To change the speaker volume, from the NORMAL MODE menu, press item #2 SPEECH


Click on item #7 in the SPEECH menu for the highest volume. The number 192 will be displayed in the middle of the screen. Press the SET button on the upper right side of the screen to save this setting.


You will be ushered back to the SPEECH menu. Now press item #8 labelled 16 LEVEL SETTING.



Change the MAX ANALOG GAIN to 255 instead of what the default level is.


Press OK.

Congratulations! Now you will be able to hear your caller much better.

4) Microphone


To change the microphone volume, from the NORMAL MODE menu, press item #6 MICROPHONE.



Click on item #7 in the MICROPHONE menu for the highest volume. The number 168 will be displayed in the middle of the screen. Press the SET button on the upper right side of the screen to save this setting.


You will be ushered back to the MICROPHONE menu. Press item #8 labelled 16 LEVEL SETTING.


Change the MAX ANALOG GAIN to 255 instead of what the default level is.



Press OK.

Now your caller will be able to hear you much better.
