If your like me and was thinking to yourself that the earphone/speaker volume on your k800i was a little low then this is the hack for you. (Apparently this also works on other models such as the k750i etc.)
press * right * left left * left *
Its best to do this from the idle screen, once done you should be in a screen called “Service”.
Go down to service tests, then earphone/speaker. You should see a barchart kinda graphic the default is level 3 out of 7. Just crank that badboy up!
WARNING: If you re-enter the earphone/speaker screen, your volume will revert to its default. In my case I had to press the back button rather the ok in order for my change to be saved but what a difference it makes lol.
** This also works on the W995 and SE Elm / J10 (Thanks to Thomas and Rainer) **
Wooow Big boost in volume there oyu know i was actually wandering about if you could do something about the volume.. anyway cheers lad
Weyyy nice man! Jus got me k800i n thought it a tad quiet ! Lol is tht Wagstaff??
Even when i press the back button it wont work, maby somthing is locked?
you have to hold back so it returns to the main screen
what is the idle screen. because when i do that on my phone it goes to the camera.
How do you get on to the idle sceen??
its not working for me what do i do
On which firmware is it working?
Does this works at w850i?
It should work on any firmware. I’m not sure if it’ll work on the w850i but its worth a try!
how do u get in to the idle screen im not sure wich screen it is-.-
nvm ny first question
but when i hold the back button the wolume gets reset why?
Try the OK button as a few people have had success with this. Also its worth upgrading to the latest firmware version.
For those that don’t know what the idle screen is its the home screen i.e. when you hit the end key (red phone icon) on your phone its that screen.
Doesnt save
its not working tried okay and return key to idle screen
this all works fine but it doesnt actually boost the volume any more than you can by pressing the +/- zoom buttons on the side when your using the speaker etc. when your in the service menu you can increase the bars by using the zoom buttons on the side and it doesnt seem to get any louder than normal.
it should be
* right * left left * left *
tryed it with the k800i but when i pushed the buttons it goes to all files is that because i changed the shortcut on the buttons????
Cheers!!!
You rock man
i can’t save the settings.!!! when i press the ok button it’s not saved even the back button what should i do?
Ah got it to work its insanely loud now my ears are in pain after some songs.. the only problem i find is after a song has finished the volume resets to normal and i have to boost it individually for each song which is a bit anoying as you have to pause it to enter the menu.
i done tht right left left left thing and i dnt work . any help ???
but can someone plz tell me WHEN SHOULD I DO THAT RIGHT LEFT LEFT LEFT thing????
when exactly?
do it, on the first screen, where it show the desktop picture.
press * right * left left * left * in the wall paper screen/desktop screen .or upgrade free through sonyericsson site u need its cable and cd.
dude, i got to it but the OK and BACK thing, WELL i only have OK?
The back button is just the normal ‘C’ button – well I call that back not sure about everyone else lol.
Is there a way to get the same sort of menu up but on a LG phone?
All phones have a hidden service menu its just a matter of working out what combo of keys is needed to open it – unfortunately it each made/model (and what you can do to them) is different.
Note, for all people that can’t get to the menu. Don’t do it too fast or it won’t work.
FINALLY I GOT THE VOL BOOST I WANTED!
mine isnt workin
i know the code it just doesnt save
any help?
ahmm how do you save the settings.. xD?? ahmm.. any help for my sony ericsson w760i?
I don’t know to save, help me !!
I have sony ericsson w760i
ps: I speek french
I tried it on my K850i and it works perfectly. You just need to remove the shortcuts on the up, down, left and right keys.
for all the w760i users.. the problem is that the speakers are underneath the buttons so.. sony ericsson think to not boost the volume in order to not damage the buttons
please help me. i cant reach the menu. right left left left does nothing
Look, i got to screen and turned it up but if i press back or okay it won’t save/make a difference what can I do????
hey aidan i had sony ericsson k850i and when i press right left left left doesn’t make anything
help mee my email laurenti@laurentsyla.com
cool gr8 job man
good idea/trick
if your phone is keylocked,unlock it and while ur at the main screen press * (star) right * (star) left left * (star) left * (star)
but anyways the above hint doesnt make the sound any louder than just increasing it with your volume keys in the side panel
does it work with iphone
It Works, Even On W995, Its Just The Trick To Press Back/Return Instead Of OK
YO DUDE I DONE DAT CODE BUT THE VOLUME IS STILL THE SAME AND I HELD THE BACK KEY SO IT WENT TO THE HOME SCREEN. WHAT DO I DO NOW?
Works also with SE Elm / J10!
Thanks a lot!
well i have tried ur foramt .. but i cant see no difference in it .. and im havig a sony ericsson hazel .. plz help is it ‘ok’ or ‘back’ for it
Sorry badr this won’t work for iPhone.
