Has anyone hacked the kernel, hardware to make this phone useable.......I'm missing so many calls ?
There is no hardware or software issue with the speakers ...... maybe you have a faulty device.

In your alternate universe that may be true. That's the universe where the battery is brilliant too, I presume?

No need to bring in the word homosexuality when we are talking about external speaker on the phone androhero...thousands of people complain about the speaker and battery life its even be said in a lot of reviews all over the web about the speaker and battery life....if your speaker is perfect that's great. But my speaker isn't and I just want to see if anyone have fixed this problem so please we can do with out the smart ass comments..

for starters , i wasnt the one that started making sarcastic comments, all i said was there is no hardware or software issue with the DHD regarding the speakers, its just the way the HTC Tones are made, but if you feel you wish to join in and attempt to bully me like bobbyelliott feel free
by the way you may also want to try this, it's the htc tones with increased volume levels, just flash it from recovery...... i hope you choke on it

Ok, I don't want to see any trouble here. Please behave yourselves. Referrence to homosexuality as an insult is not appreciated.
Leedroid has posted a kernel that increases speaker volume by 20%, he is posting a new update tonight 2.0.5.

The Android Revolution Rom 2.0.12 has this included since yesterday.
do you just flash these kernels using clockwork overtop the rom your already using?
ive never done this before and would like more volume myself.

Hi can you please give me step by step on how to install the new kernel ? Thanks
Is it really nessesary to flash and what not? I just bumped up the volume of the tones I like in Audacity and copied it back on to SD. Now my volume is “normal”.

Without a kernel that gives a volume boost I find most of the times myself in a situation where I can't hear the person when on a call. With the new kernel (thanks Lee ) it's how it should be, I'm happy
Modded default file a little to my liking volume wise, this is very much a work in progress, if your Transformer burns up a speaker or the sound card, don't hold me responsible, BUT on a good note it works for me and volume is very decently increased, so if your feeling lucky (punk) give it a try. You just might be pleased with the results. Good luck and happy modding! =]
Also as a side note, I have heard stories of blown left speakers, so be extra careful with the one with the speaker fix, as this is unexplored territory except from one user who did have good result's, so only use if you are aware that it may damage your HARDWARE for good...
Confirmed working on voodoo sound, but I would suggest using the medium one, no higher.
KEEP IN MIND THIS ALSO INCREASES HEADPHONE OUTPUT, BE CAREFUL SO AS TO NOT DAMAGE YOUR HEARING!!
This file was in the same folder, however I don't understand it's function, but incase you had it and erased it, here it is:
http://www.multiupload.com/EXJZ50M6IN
Original config file: http://www.multiupload.com/MRJ2V98G3W
Risky one (full output potential):http://www.multiupload.com/7L8S4I6GKF
Medium Risk one (Recommended): http://www.multiupload.com/WVKJVU5U7A
Risky one with speaker balance mod (SOMEWHAT UNTESTED!!): http://www.multiupload.com/61HP5V3M0U
Medium risk one with left speaker fix (ALSO UNTESTED!): http://www.multiupload.com/MFI035ZL65
You must reboot for the changes to apply.
If you take it for a spin, please post your opinions on sound quality and volume so others can get a good idea of what this file does
All credit to xda members freeza and verkion for the balance fix file, I simply edited his file.
Edit: you will find the stock file in system/data
Edit: Be sure to backup your original file, and if you don't know how to replace the file, you shouldn't be playing with this lol
Edit: If you hear distortion, lower the volume, as distortion will blow speakers faster than overpowering them
Also as a side note I run the full output one with good results, full volume is now usually to loud lol, does sound *SLIGHTLY* tinny, but once you get used to it, the increase in volume is worth the trade off, and if you miss the stock volume, either turn it down or re-apply your stock file.
If you like this, please click the thanks link =]
If you have any issues feel free to contct me at my personal email at [email protected], but only if it is important please.

I advise people to be very careful with volume on transformer. I blew my left speaker using configs etc and just received my transformer back from warranty repair (thankfully fixed
I really dont advise using configs like this but there is a need to make volume higher.
I have tried everything and found the safest way which is what i use now is a small app from the market called 'VOLUME+' , link below.
I set my speakers to a +5 boost in options, nothing else and volume is much higher, crisp and safe.

I agree completely, and I also tweaked a few more things so it's still crisp and good sounding, it works for me, but everyone should be advised you might not be as lucky as me also.
Wouldn't it be wise then to create a few modified files and label them according to how safe they are? (eg. Dangerous, moderate, safe) that could potentially work...

Link fixed, I apologize, also this will work for headphones as long as you don't run voodoo sound, if you do I'm not to sure, but without voodoo sound it also boost's headphone volume as well, and quite a bit on that note while still retaining clarity.
I fixed the balance issue with my left speaker (tweaking the config file) But there are times I am scare that the left will dead. There has been people that have blown out the left side. I ended up getting a portable speaker Monster ClarityHD (yeah I know Monster....) but the speaker is pretty good. 6 hrs on bluetooth and battery life is not that bad.
does this boost vodoo sound further? lol...any people with vodoo sound and tested?

To be honest I don't know as I don't use voodoo sound, but I will edit the original post if I can confirm it work's with voodoo. So if you want you can test and report back, or just wait to see if someone else doe's first.

This also boost's headphone output so it wil increase the volume of your portable speakers as well, but possibly for the worse.

no distortion sound

That was my fear in releasing the one with the left speaker fix, but the bad is the only way to know how the file will afffect it is to wait to hear from more user's on the result's they have.
by the way we have to restart the transformer before it takes effect?

Supercurio Tweeted this an last night.. good news for S3 owners. Will also be coming to the S2.
'.. release #GalaxySIII specific pre-versions of #VoodooSound and #DisplayExpert because.. it's must have already for me '
Yeah saw that too. Great news indeed
Sent from my CM9 TouchPad
What is displayexpert? I tried to google it.
I guess it will allow adjustments to the settings of the screen. Saturation, temperature, and sharpening.
Oh man, can't wait to see what supercurio is bringing to the SGS3... He did wonders for the SGS.
will it be for rooted devices only ? dont want to root my GS3 yet ive only have it 2 days
will rooting void the warranty with samsung ?
Only with root
I hope this also comes for the US GS3 !

It'll probably fix some banding issues with the ICS default background.
I still have my original i9000 mostly because of the amazing sound quality I get with Voodoo sound and the Samsung earphones. The Siyah 1.2.1 mods on Omega 5.1 on my i9300 kernel runs it very close. Really eager to see what SuperC can do with the new device!

Voodoo sound booster is obsolete, there's a mod avalible already which boosts the sound the same way voodoo did..
Its awesome ! If I wasn't writing this on my phone I'd find you guys a link..
Boost audio system wide, alarm gave me a bloody fright this morning..
EDIT: Decided ill be nice and find the link hehe..
OP Topic: HERE
CWM Flashable packes: HERE
I suggest using the "60_sound_mod - max vol = 60 (boot sound on, camera sound off)" CWM package, it boosts your phone dramatically although not to max.. The safer option if you ask me..
Anyway thats my good deed done for today.. better get back to work !

Thanks for the link, I will check it out.
However Voodoo Sound is not just about boosting volume. I had it on my SGS1, and it greatly improved the overall sound quality as well. I cant really explain it as I am by no means an audiophile, however all I know is that Voodoo Sound left me with a smile on my face whilst listening to music.

I used voodo on SGSII and that just boosted volume, in saying that it actually boosted it with no sound quality loss.. Not like volume+.
That mod does exactly what vodoo did on the SGSII im very impressed by this mod, the fact that it boosts over all sound on the phone is great.

I read a reply on the thread about it working on CM9 so theres no reason why it shouldnt work on paranoid.. search the thread.. my signature is outdated its from SGSII
I just installed this and it looks very cool, but it's pretty overwhelming. Any suggestions for which .IRS files work well with headset, speaker, and bluetooth headset? For bluetooth headset I've also got my regular mono one for phone calls, and I have a stereo bluetooth one from Jaybird so I'd assume they use different settings. Speaking of, what do you guys put the settings at as well.
I looked a bit at the Viper4android thread, but it's like 700 pages long.
Before you get you A$$ handed to you for not following the rules i will spare you the moment of humility and provide you with this since i was stuck in the same situation you were but simply went to google and entered "Viper4android settings" and stumbled upon this which HELPED me!!!!!

Oh, I didn't realize I was breaking a rule. You mean we can't discuss optimal settings for an app for our phones? The only rule I see that might be loosely tied is using search, but I have searched. I have searched and am aware of the main 700 page thread, and also the English viper website, none of these have users discussing the G2 specifically. I'd rather avoid that 700+ page thread since I am specifically asking about the G2 in the G2 forums and what settings work well for others.
Just to repeat, I'm not looking on how to get the program to run or install it, I am looking for other G2 owners feedback on which particular modes worked well for them. I thought it might be a nice discussion.
If I'm breaking the rules please delete my thread then, my apologies.
Moving on..
I don't use the bluetooth headset so I can't help you on that.
But for the headset, I realised that using the xHifi setting under clarity gives quite a little whitenoise. But not using makes your music sound muffled , so I guess it's a trade off(unless you know how to configure the IRS files). I am using my mid range sennheiser CX-300II without any IRS filters, cos none of them work well. You could try loading everything into the folder and going through them 1 by 1, or even making the file which is rather tedious. I couldn't be bothered, the playbackgain control and dynamic system is enough for me.
If you plug your phone into powerful speakers (I have a bose 321 but damn those things make the windows shake) you MUST turn off the VIPER bass and reduce the dynamic bass to ~15%. Differential surround(Haas effect) makes the sound sound off center on speakers so avoid it.
I noticed G2 doesn't have music effect setting, am i suppose to assume that viper is on?
No it's not that simple. What I did was:
1. Install the drivers
2. Backup build.prop then change the lines specified in the main thread for Viper
3. Install google play(doesn't work on stock LG player for me)
3b. (unsure if really necessary) Disable stock LG player
4. Reboot
5. Wait for boot to complete and see all the superSU permission flashing...
6. Play something, then go into viper, enable the first option on the speaker tab and check the "driver status". It should say that it is installed/normal, that it is enabled and that it is processing. To really be sure go play around with the settings but be careful with the gain (don't ramp it sky high and drop your phone in shock)

I just installed the app and it does all the necessary things for you. But still, Viper4Android sucks for our phone. The driver it installs significantly lowers the audio quality. With a huge amount of tweaking you can finally get the quality back up to where the G2 is at stock. Everyone is better off not using this mod for the G2 unless the author gets a much better audio driver designed for our chipset
check out the V4A audio profiles... it gives a great shares from people on settings... try them and check out the one you prefer

Yeah I don't know how happy I am with this app yet. I can get stuff louder, but I hear more distortion, but I have to play around a bit. One odd thing is that different things have different volumes after installing this. For example, my speaker phone when in a call is nice and loud, but when checking voicemail it is very quiet, kind of odd and I can't figure out how to selectively fix these things so I may be forced to uninstall.

I think you guys really don't know what you're taking about. The clarity viper adds to the sound on both my stereo and my headphones is absolutely unreal. After having set up viper, I think the biggest flaw of a stock g2 might be the dull und muffled sound it transfers to proper speakers.

Think what you want but the drivers this uses noticeably took away from clarity in all aspects of the sound. Every speaker setup can sound different so maybe this type of sound just works better for you, my high end systems though it definitely takes a lot away from the audio

On my dynavoice speakers and my b&w headphones my music gets several different new dimensions using viper, regardless of the code of the driver.
Edit: of course every setup and every set of ears gets different subjective results. But it's so obvious that the sound is so much better with viper

This is my headphones profile. I haven't set up one for the phone speakers. It's a modified copy of something I found somewhere on xda. I guess you can just create a headphone profile yourself and then copy in the following text instead of what it says in your backed up profile. But I'm not sure if that will work or if it will destroy your phone and kill your family. You will find your profiles (once they are backed up) under storage/emulated/0/viper4android/profile. This works on my headphones and with my ears, that doesn't mean it will work for you. Here it goes:

TY much, I'll give it a shot!!!
Just a stab in the dark here, but coming from an iPhone, the headphone audio on this device seems below par. At low levels and all volume levels really there is an audible hissing or static sound on any form of audio. The only way to reduce this is by using my Bose headphones for some reason. Just wondering if anyone else experiences this? Thanks.
I just need to know of my phone is defective or not really. So if anyone could test and let me know, I would appreciate it
Bump
I do not have this experience you describe and I use some cheap $20 Sony headphones. (Earbuds)

Right now I am using ElementalX kernel and Dirty Unicorns rom and everything is crystal clear and sounds great on my headphones. I haven't used headphones until now when I saw your post and I tested and all is fine on my end.

Okay, I may change rom from stock then... Is this likely to be a software issue?
Also, is the rom/kernel setup you use faster than stock?

Not sure if this is the same as yours but I use V4A on mine and I do get crackling noises every now and then. But on EX and franco kernels its much worse. I get massive amounts of stuttering which lags the audio as well. So far I believe its due to the CPU governor behaviour as well as soundboost options you get from those kernels.
But I believe the main reason could be that Nuplayer is default on marshmallow and doesnt work well with V4A. Eh, its weird how custom kernels are the only ones that have this issue. To answer your question about roms, I use SinLess, which is miles faster than stock and rock solid. I suggest you give it a try.
Also about audio, I suggest you give V4A (Viper4Android) a try. You'll never think of your iPhone again lol. My current driver is a Sennheiser IE80 and once you tune up V4A on your device, it sounds like an audiophiles dream.
Thank you for the advice, I will use that exact setup and try it out!!
What I meant by my audio issue is that all the time there is a background hiss in the sound, no matter what headphones I use. Hoping a V4A will fix this
Is the headphone volume loud enough? Do you use in-ear headphones?

I'm on stock odex rom, same one that comes with this phone and I use Google music and have zero crackling sounds. I do not get this experience the other person speaks of with ElementalX kernel. Everything is clear and I raise volume with the devs app Ex kernel manager and you couldn't get sound more clear. V4A is nice, I used it the entire time I had Nexus 6 and worked well. Haven't cranked it just yet on 6p but I will soon. There are quite a few write ups on V4A over on Nexus 6 section. We had many devs work hard on it to get it just right and they did. I'm going to cruz over there and see what I can find later today. Good day to all.

I use mainly in ear headphones, the volume is usually around 40%+ but the crackle is noticeable in all media, especially YouTube

Could my issue be hardware related then? Or just a freak software issue?
I'm not sure but here is a guy who has more knowledge on this type of thing http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2952137
I had a Nexus 6 previous to this Nexus 6p and they did a lot of work on V4A and sound things. Maybe he can help answer some questions or help better understand what may be going on..

I, too, have experienced some sort of "crackling" on my Nexus 5 after I upgraded to Marshmallow. I don't know whether you experience the same issue as I did, but just in case you do the problem is basically as follows:
Google has been trying to reduce audio latency across Android versions. Marshmallow is no exception. At least what the Nexus 5 is concerned I believe Google has hit (overshot) the latency that is currently achievable with the combination of hardware and software architecture without causing audio dropouts.
If you look at the audio HAL and the audio mixer, there are two types of audio playback paths available
deep buffer
low latency
Audio playback selects the "low latency" path which has been shrinking over the last few versions of Android.
As far as I know, there is only one thing you could try without seriously messing with the audio HAL. Try to add the following line to your build.prop followed by a reboot:
Code:
audio_hal.period_size=480
This will increase the allowable audio latency for "low latency" applications to its maximum value. This means, of course, that latency-critical apps such as VoIP apps or synthesizers, will see an increase in latency. This may or may not matter to you. CPU governor settings may also be able to help reduce audio dropouts.
(As an aside, I would really suggest for audio playback applications that are not latency critical, such as streaming, to make use of the "deep buffer" path instead to avoid audio dropouts. But that is up to the ROM developer.)
Good luck.
I will give this a go. Thank you for the detailed response, I will let you know how I get on!!
Just a thought, why would nobody else notice this though? It is incredibly noticeable to me coming from an iPhone

I just got my phone yesterday, & I haven't tried any headphones, but it seems to me if you are not getting the issue on one pair of headphones, that it must be the headphones and not the phone itself. I don't think your headphones have any kind of software or something running in them that would actually stop the crackling.
Either way, welcome to Android and XDA, and I hope you have fun!

Same thing happened to me, on my original device and replacement, both stock not rooted or anything. Incredibly bad on netflix. Couldn't stand it compared to my old iPhone 5S. Decided to return both devices. Just going to buy a different phone because it's kinda ridiculous.

I am just going to put up with it because I really love everything else about the phone!!!
I am pleased to report that after flashing Pure Nexus rom, this issue appears to have disappeared, so it seems
