I am using Android 2.2 and the ringtone volume is verry low.
How can i get it louder ?
You best bet is to make your own ringtone and increase the volume, then copy the new file to the phone. I usually make ringtones on my PC using Gold Wave. To increase the volume: go to Effect>Volume>Shape Volume, and choose a reasonable higher value. I have been using this program for such a long time, and never had any issues. It works very well.
There are free alternatives like Audacity. I did not try it, but it might be good as well.
There was an app to increase speaker volume, "DSP-based equalizer" but it had to be built into the build as I recall. I tried it before on one of the Desire builds, and I can't say it was useful.
ı have same problemö and couldnt fınd solutıon yet
There is an app, for that.
Called Volume+ .. I think it's paid, but it does the job more than well.

It does work, on all HD2s.
Just make sure you don't have other sound apps (such as DSP Manager) . Either install them or freeze them.
And make sure you are setting it up correctly .
It works just fine here.

hi
search for XLoud Engine for HD2, maybe it will help you
I've been looking around for a louder volume hack for the Legend for a couple of days to no avail. I keep seeing things about DSP Manager but as far I'm aware there's nothing for the Legend specifically. Is there a specific package for the Legend to be installed or can I just flash any old DSP apk and be done with it?
If that's not the case, what can I do to achieve louder volume levels, apart from turning up the volume level?

Search for an app called "Louder Volume Hack" (pun not intended). There are settings in the app that is suppose to reconfigure your phone's volume. Tried it but can't tell the difference honestly. So what I did was I bought PowerAMP and tweak the equalizer settings instead. Of course that only works for music and I'm pretty sure that is what your purpose, innit?

Louder Volume Hack only works on HTC devices released before the Nexus. The Legend was released after the Nexus.

I've used PowerAMP's equaliser before but it can horribly distort the quality of the music playing. I also prefer Winamp to PowerAMP, so I can't use PowerAMP.
I'd just like a hack which I can fakeflash or flash.
I was just about to post another thread now for the same requirement. So i second this thread
To be honest, if I can't find a hack then I wouldn't mind creating my own... Provided someone tells me where to look I would be okay with that.
CyanogenMOD has the DSP stuff built in.
If this is anything like voodoo sound on the sammy devices (I'm not sure) then this kind of thing has to be done at kernel level. I have a feeling that BlaY0's kernel is pretty much the same as CM's, so logic dictates that DSPManager should work. Try installing the apk, see what happens. The setting that has the largest impact is "Dynamic Range Compression". If everything gets very loud when you turn it on, it worked.
I flashed DSP Manager and located the apk inside /system and attempted to install it, but it would not install. I also noticed DSP Manager's odex file sitting underneath it - could that be causing issues? Or something else?

Morning all
Sooooooooooo , after putting some of my favorite music on my DHD last night, packed my Sony BIN headphones and set off this morning , only to discover the stock MP3 player is rubbish ! , no volume or anything.
Any suggestions which one is best to use ?
Thanks
Steve
My suggestion would be PlayerPro. After trying many, this has everything I ever wanted from a music player.
thank you for the quick response
That one costs money though
Any good free ones ?
DoubleTwist seems to be the best right now.
Tried , and its great thanks .....
Is there anything I can do to increase the volume ?
It seems so low , even at top media volume
Thanks
Steve
Most custom ROMs have volume enhancements on them, but if you don't want to go down that road and are already running a Gingerbread ROM, then try an app called Volume+ from the market. If you're on Froyo, there is DSP Manager but personally I don't recommend it.
DoubleTwist is a rather complete player. Try it out.
I'd suggest Double Twist or this https://market.android.com/details?id=org.abrantix.rockon.rockonnggl&feature=more_from_developer
Lovly ta
Yep, doubletwist is good, no question there. It's just that since I'm kind of a neat freak when it comes to folder structures with my music, I really appreciate the option to browse by folders; something most players seem to lack. I also liked the album wall display of playerpro, but of course as you said its not free.
Bought PlayerPro also. If you listen to music alot, its really worth it^^ Also theres an option that you can skip songs with volume buttons, thats a great feature in some situations.
Thats all great thanks , but the volume is still low , is there anyway I can increase the headphone volume of MP3's ?
Thanks
Steve

And it dosnt let me make it any louder than the top media volume ...
Any suggestions ?
Thanks

Double Twist is great and works
Custom Roms should help with volume (have a look at my sig)

If you downloaded it from the Market and it's called 'Volume+' then you have the right one, but it only works on Gingerbread. When you run the app you have the options of applying volume gain to the speaker or headphone output, and you can also change the EQ. There's a Bass Enhancement option too, but I've never known it make any difference.
Give PowerAMP a shot if you want to browse by folder. There's a trial version on the market. Best player I've seen.

Oh ....... the one I downloaded was Volume Plus, not Volume +
I see its £0.99 , I know its not much but I havnt got a card to pay it with at the moment ..
Is there a free version anywhere ?
Thanks all
Steve
There's no free version unfortunately, but £0.99 is more than a fair price to pay for it if you can convince someone to lend you their card
Someone mentioned PowerAMP earlier. That app has an in built equalizer and some of the presets on that make the volume a bit louder, though if you're playing music for a long period of time then this will take a toll on battery life.
Has anyone used it on their Note 3 yet?
i hate the audio with a passion thru the external speaker, DSP is my only hope..

I gave up on DSP Manager after it never seemed to play music via the right profile (eg, bluetooth headphones would often be played with the "speaker" profile, or other shenanigans)
Then I discovered Vipers Audio! And never looked back... (I have this running on my Note 3)

Wow thanks for the prompt reply dude. I agree Dsp isn't perfect, but it would help compared to stock, it's really awful imo.
So, in your experience has Viper improved the external speaker experience? I'm not so fussed with the 3.5, it's the external sounds that are bugging me.
Thanks

I haven't used it for the external speaker (but it supports this, just as DSP Manager does), but I don't think you'll be disappointed if you were to try it.
FYI: I use the "Lock effect mode" to force my Bluetooth audio profile onto all audio outputs, works a charm.

This could be what I'm looking for, but I'm still relatively new to flashing etc, seems a bit daunting, the installation process? I take it you need to be rooted?

Yes, you need root to complete the install. It goes something like this: install it like a normal APK, open it, it will ask for root privs, once granted, it will autoinstall the audio driver, and then all you need to do is restart. Job done!

Thanks, this could be the key to make me love my Note 3. I need to root it first, then I'll look at tackling the installation in near future, thanks for replying, appreciate it
Just a thought tho - the Note 3 external driver is small, doesn't it distort easily driving bassy beats?

Yeah, heres my profile I use: *lots* of bass via the Dynamic Subsystem module, EQ that brings out the highs, and the "Extreme Headphone V1" listening device.
The profile files go under your SD Card under the viper4android/profiles directory (if the folder doesn't exist, try saving a profile first to autocreate it)

Dude.....seriously?
Bass is driven by the amount of air the driver can push - Base is omni-directional (i.e.you feel it rather than hearing where it's coming from) so it doesn't really matter where you put your bass unit from a surround sound setup.
If you think the external speaker is going to give ANY sort of bass, you're seriously misguided, sorry!
If the frequency is too low then the unit just won't play it, that's why speakers have a frequency range.

Yeah, my bad, sorry buddy.
Been ill the last 4 days and supposed to be flying to the states tomorrow for 9 days holiday! bit P******d about it.
But you're right, I should have toned it down.
Ignore the first line of my reply above, and it reads a bit nicer
hello,
i've searched now for a while and could not find a solution for this problem:
on my device (and this was the same with my note2) and on stock kernels i could not get the equalizer function properly.
the stock equalizer does not alter the sound in the right way, in fact it makes it LESS "loud" on the opposite frequencies i want to adjust.
example: if i want to add heights the bass goes down significantly, but no hights are added. same for adding bass: the heigts go down, but the bass level did not increase. if i turn the EQ off, the sound get much louder then, although i adjusted the typically "U" formed curve!
as far as my search showed this is a problem for other people as well, here in the note3 forum there are almost no postings regarding this.
is your EQ working as expected?
what apps do you use? stock music player or something different? i use google play music, but its the same for other apps as well.
even tried to remove all other music apps (as suggested in some postings) due to possible conflicts, but this wont help! i also installed a different equalizer app (and removed the stock one, after only disabling it) from the market, same results.
on my note2 i had the same issue, the only thing which helped was to flash a custom kernel. with this i was able to use equalizers the way they were meant!
does someone has some experience here?

markus

thx for the answer,
i used poweramp for years, and it did me an excellent job! but for convenience i switched to google play some time ago, and since then i have this equalizer problem with samsung stock kernels! if i remember right this is since the introduction of 4.0 or 4.1!
because of my migration to google play i would need a solution how to get the equalizer right, and i'm curious if other people have the same problem! and: if someone managed to get it work!
I would try ViPER4Android

Now I know this is many years old, but I see from your sig you have an S8+ now. Do you still have this issue with the stock EQ? I'm getting exactly the same behaviour with the S8+ and the S9+, turning any slider up just seems to cut the entire volume down, it's so annoying!
