I have a HTC One m7 international. It has root access. Android lollipop 5.0.2

The in call volume is too low despite being on max volume.

Which file in the root system should I modify to increase the max volume? What line of code corresponds to this setting?

Thanks vm

This approach achieves desired functionality by communicating with Android APIs at AIDL level making use of ADB


Run the command:

adb shell service call audio 7 i32 3 i32 0 i32 1

Here, the service call refers to IAudioService. Click here for more info.

  • 7 is the function named setStreamVolume. It is the 7th in the list of functions in the interface IAudioService. Verify it here. (setStreamVolume takes 3 parameters streamType, index, flag)
  • i32 is to write the integer INT into the send parcel. (Alternatively we can make use of s16 for UTF-16 string)
  • 3 is streamTypevalue. (Value 1 → phone, 3 → speaker, 4 → alarm, 6 → bluetooth)
  • 0 is index value and 1 is flag value

See the source here.

    But how can op set that for every call? Or is using it once persistent?

  • @cde Changing once is enough, no need to change it before every call

  • "7 i32 3 i32 0 i32 1" - I don't get it, why is the index=0 ? Isn't it the volume value? And what is the meaning of flag=1 ? Can you, please, clear up this issues? Thanks. Commented Apr 18, 2020 at 11:19

For Android 10

adb shell media volume --show --stream 1 --set 1

example :

/ $ media volume --show --stream 4 --set 1
[v] will control stream=4 (STREAM_ALARM)
[v] will set volume to index=1
[v] Connecting to AudioService

Specific usage

usage: media [subcommand] [options]
       media dispatch KEY
       media list-sessions
       media monitor <tag>
       media volume [options]

media dispatch: dispatch a media key to the system.
                KEY may be: play, pause, play-pause, mute, headsethook,
                stop, next, previous, rewind, record, fast-forword.
media list-sessions: print a list of the current sessions.
media monitor: monitor updates to the specified session.
                       Use the tag from list-sessions.
media volume:  the options are as follows:
                --stream STREAM selects the stream to control, see AudioManager.STREAM_*
                                controls AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC if no stream is specified
                --set INDEX     sets the volume index value
                --adj DIRECTION adjusts the volume, use raise|same|lower for the direction
                --get           outputs the current volume
                --show          shows the UI during the volume change
        examples:
                adb shell media volume --show --stream 3 --set 11
                adb shell media volume --stream 0 --adj lower
                adb shell media volume --stream 3 --get
