Increase Speaker Volume In Samsung Omnia 7 [Guide]

Samsung Omnia 7 is the phone I personally use, and to be honest, I am quite in love with it. However my first disagreement with it arose when I was late for work in the morning because I missed my alarm. Being a heavy sleeper, the speaker volume wasn’t enough to wake me up. Although this isn’t really an issue, as the sound is pretty good on this Windows Phone 7 goodie, still if you are curious how you can get a little bit more out of your Omnia 7, well, here’s how to do it.

If you are an experienced WP7 user then you might have guessed that such a feat could be achieved using Diagnostic menu of the phone.

Instructions:

  1. Audio MenuGo to the dialer of your phone and access diagnostic mode by dialing ##634#
  2. Input *#0002*28345# to get to the Audio menu in the given screenshot.
  3. See the last option named “Device Gain (max/min)”? Hit the “Get” option next to it.
  4. Now from among the 3 fields, select the second one which is empty by default. Input 16000 in it.
  5. In the third field (also empty) enter 0.
  6. Hit “Set”.
  7. Tap “Start”.
  8. Exit Diagnosis and restart your phone.

Now you are sure to get a better sound on your Omnia 7. The tip has worked for most of the users, and was proposed by XDA senior member Cerato.
