Samsung phones typically have a quieter ring tone than most other cell phones. Fortunately, phones produced by Samsung can be configured to increase the ring volume by using a "secret code." The code is entered into the phone's input box as if you were making a call. A configuration menu will then appear. This menu will allow you to increase the audio volume for the earpiece as well as the phone's speakers. Increasing the volume of the phone's speakers increases the volume of the ring.
Step
Enter the following string on the phone's keypad:
Step
*#197328640#
Step
Press the green "Call" or "Send" button. The Configuration Menu will appear.
Step
Tap option "8" to select "Audio Configuration."
Step
Tap option "3" to select "Speaker Configuration." Speaker configuration controls the volume of the ring.
Step
Tap option "3" to select "Call Configuration."
Step
Tap option "3" to select "Speaker Codec Gain."
Step
Tap option "4" corresponding to the "cod_rx" selection.
Step
Enter the number "4" or greater to increase the default audio volume of the phone.
Step
Press the "End Call" key.
Step
Reboot the phone by turning it off and removing, then re-inserting, the battery. Turn the phone back on. The default audio volume should now be louder.
