To turn up the volume, go to engineering menu. Attention, do not touch the settings of the engineering menu, except for the ones below. This may affect the performance of your phone.
In the vast majority of cases, the code to enter the engineering menu is: *#3646633# (*#9646633# or *#83646633# or *#856633#).
Then we go to the section "AUDIO", "NORMAL MODE", "SPEECH".

We go to "level 6" and increase the value of this item to the desired one (maximum 255, but more than 236 is not recommended!).


After that, press the "hang up" button and exit to the main menu of the phone. Load it up and check....

There are times when you need to raise the microphone sensitivity on a Chinese phone. In most cases, it is below the desired level, as it comes from the factory.
The principle is the same: we go into the engineering menu, then go to the "AUDIO", "NORMAL MODE" section, and instead of the "SPEECH" section, select the "MICROPHONE" section.
Before us is a list of "level 0", "level 1" ..... "level 6".
We go sequentially to each item and set the value in the region of 188 ... 192
The increase is made by the joystick or volume buttons.
You can set higher values ​​if you have a "dumb" microphone, but this can cause either a "background" (whistling) or an echo from the interlocutor during a conversation.
Click OK, then "back" and again "back". You will be prompted to "Update" the values. Click OK.
After that, press the "hang up" button and exit to the main menu of the phone. Load it up and check...

For more enlightened users, there is a more tricky way. Checking the list of access points. If there are lines with the name of your operator, then you should double-check them. One of these options will definitely work. Therefore, we are looking for checkboxes on the right, each of them activates the settings of one of the items. You will find the settings you need using the selection method.

Most often when you buy new smartphone on Android and change the operator serving you, then automatic settings for all types of networks and Internet connections come to the phone, their number and performance depends only on your tariff. Sometimes these settings are service center, in which you purchased the starter package of the new operator. Such services are provided by service centers of CDMA-operators.

Not an unimportant part manual settings It remains to choose the type of access to the network. This list is located in the same place as the access points. It is strongly recommended to select the 2G level if your phone has a GSM connection and we will explain why. It's just that this phone will not be able to use anything else, and the battery consumption for searching for other networks will decrease significantly.

There you can find the answer to the question, how to disable internet on android while retaining all settings. Here you can enable and disable the MMS and roaming system. It is worth noting that disable roaming is simply necessary. this function is designed to search for similar networks abroad, but in fact, he will spend simply unbearable amounts for the family budget on minimum speeds and traffic.

on the Internet, and more specifically Google Play For quite a long time there have been entire directories with settings for different operators and phone models. There are just an unimaginable number of them and, if desired, they can also be used to configure your smartphone. For those who are not very familiar with all this, you should look for such bases on keyword « APN" or " Access points».

Considering that each operator has hundreds of its own settings for each phone, and each of them depends on the country and region of your residence, we will not publish any links here. There are plenty of them on the Internet on the official resources of network operators.

The mobile phone has become an integral part of the life of active Internet users. The share of smartphones is growing, and with it the volume of mobile Internet traffic. One of the major problems is to use mobile traffic as efficiently as possible, saving it, since not all users benefit from "unlimited" tariffs.

By the way, even in this case, it is worth remembering that such tariffs are not really unlimited, but have a certain amount of traffic, after which the connection speed drops significantly.

We asked the experts of the Mail.Ru Agent Support Service about how to save traffic:

1. Disable software updates manually via Mobile Internet . The main consumer of the Internet in a smartphone is applications. Very often, having access to the Internet, applications try to download updates, and games can download bonuses and ads from the Internet, while wasting precious traffic. You can leave software updates only via Wi-Fi.

2. Widgets. Limit the number of active widgets on the smartphone desktop that use the Internet. Weather, traffic jams, exchange rates - they all “eat up” a certain amount of traffic. Keep only the ones you can't do without.

Try to limit active widgets

3. Determine the most "gluttonous" programs. It is useful to know which of the applications spends your traffic the most. This is easy enough to do. In order to find out, for example, in Android phones, just go to the settings, and then to the "Data transfer" section: a graph of daily Internet consumption and a list of programs with data on how much each of them spends will open. You can go into each program and individually restrict access. But do not overdo it - you need to understand that such measures can disrupt the program.

You can control the amount of traffic on this page

4. Turn on mobile Internet only when it becomes necessary to go online. The easiest way to save money is to forcefully turn off data transfer in your smartphone. For example, some games download promotional materials from the Internet during operation, and a radical method will solve this problem.

5. Install a program to control traffic. Of particular note is the use third party programs to control the internet on a smartphone. They can both collect data about its use, and forcibly turn it off. You yourself can limit the daily, weekly and monthly Internet limits.

6. Media. Avoid streaming audio and video, they significantly consume Internet resources.

7. Geolocation. Another radical way is to disable geolocation. This service consumes a lot of traffic, but it is necessary for work. a large number applications, including social and navigation.
