So does anyone else notice their max volume in general is very weak? If I'm in a call and have the speaker on, it's just subpar. No where near what my Hero was capable of. Specially with my Hero, I paid for an app called "Loud Volume Hack" and it made my phone twice as loud and capable.
Of course that app doesn't work on the shift, so we're stuck with low volume.
Anyone know of or hear of some workarounds?

a program called volume ace is your friend
That app doesnt do anything after I installed it. All it is, is another way to adjust your volume controls through a different interface. IT doesn't maximize your volumes beyond what the OS allows you too like "Loud Volume Hack"
Check apps & themes section

I am considering buying the HTC Aria (I can get it for free) but have read on several Android forums about the problems with the Aria's lack of ringtone volume. Has anyone here suffered from this or is this just a few upset customers. Also if you've had this problem were you able to fix it if so how? Did rooting the phone help at all? Thanks for the help.

Um...depends on what you mean by ringtone volume. Everytime I have my volume all the way up it rings and I can hear it. I've never had an issue where I had my volume up and it sounded like it was at anything less than full...hope that answers your question

I've had low volume problems when using songs for Ringtones. Used MP3 Gain pc software to increase the volume of the file. Search for "MP3 Gain" on the internet

MY ringtone is way way too loud. thats not an issue for me.
There are however volume problems with speaker phone or even the regular phone depending on your locations noise level.
Same here,I usually turn on the speaker and. Hold the phone close to my ear so I can hear people.there is a louder volume hack,I just haven't been able to test it.

I have a problem with the volume level on the device. On several occasions the volume drops to a very low level. This happens to all the sounds on the device like ringtone, music, reminders, etc. The level indicator on device is at top level, yet the sound is barely noticable. Seems like this occurs when battery is low. Only way to fix this is to restart the DHD. Anyone else have this problem? Have i missed a setting in the energy saving options at low battery level that can solve the problem? Is there a fix i missed? Already done the two OTA updates. This does not solve the problem.
Don't know if it's just when battery level is low but i experience that volumes over all are very low on this phone, both through headphones and rear speaker, have missed a bunch of calls because of this.
Hope there is something that can be fixed about it.
yes have had this problem, although I don't think I had low battery at the time.
a restart did fix the problem and afaik the problem hasn't come back since (and hopefully never will!)
What i dont get is why HTC left the volume so low when one of the main features in their video was that if the phone is tucked away it will ring louder and such but that wont help when the ringer max level is too low. Even my wildfire has more acceptable ringer volume...

absolutely agree. Even at full volume, the phone is not audible when stored in pocket, jacket or similar. pretty large fail from HTC if you ask me. The feauture would work if it would increase the max volume BEYOND the usual max volume we can set in the system, but alas, no cookie
PS in combination with "battery low"; check whether the energy saving features are enabled. You can configure a hell of a lot in these energy saving settings and it might be the case here also
Maybe the "quiet ring on pickup" option clashes with the "pocket mode" - if its in your pocket, but you're moving around, the "quiet ring" might override the pocket mode louder ring?
Haven't had a chance to test this though
Its not the quiet ring feature since it actually does ring, just not loud enough.

Omg .. After proximity sensor n Battery .. now this ??
Although the sound level and qualitybis streets ahead of any HTC devicenive tried I still find the volume a little low in some apps.
The desire HTC can be improved with an app called dsp manager and it makes a difference. Anyone know of anything that will increase the volume output level of the nexus s?
It's a while since I had hold of a galaxy s but I seem to recall it being louder than the nexus s.
You will have to wait for cyanogen to bring that audio app over to the nexus s. I'm sure it will happen soon.
There was an awesome app for galaxy s called audiobooster.. dunno if it can be ported tho
I was just going to post the same question. On my old Samsung I8910 I was able to tweak the volume by going into service menu by pressing *#0002*28346# and you could carefully change the audio settings for speaker, headphones, bluetooth etc. Is there such a thing in Android operating systems that you can go onto service menu of the phone and change the limits? The existing volume is really low for my ears, sitting in the crowded restaurant I can't hear the other caller.
I also tried Samsung utilities application test by pressing *#0*# not working on this phone. Anybody can help? I don't want to wait for any apk. or root. Phone has really low volume, period. Samsung please fix it.
Carlito are you referring to the in built loud speaker it the earpiece volime not being loud enough? I was referring to the speaker but I haven't tried making a call yet so can't comment on the volume of the earpiece.
As above I guess we just have to wait for a fix from the devs.
My g2 has very low notification volume (its maxed under settings, but when the phone is in my pocket, I can never hear it). It's a problem because with the phone's weak vibration and lack of volume, I keep missing notifications. Is there any way I can increase the sound using a program or something?
Thanks.

CM rom has DPS manager it increase your speaker volume
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Yesterday someone mentioned an app called "volume boost" if not using CM. Worth a try if it's free eh.
I'm currently using Virtuous ROM and I would like to stick to that since I like Sense UI (so CM is not an option )
Volume boost appears to be for headphones, and not the phone speakers.
Any ideas?
Is there a way to improve the sound quality or make it louder? Also is there another way to wake up/turn off the phone without using the top button?

On the speaker or through headphones? Either way, DSP Manager allows you do boost volume. But be very careful when boosting volume through the speaker, it can very well blow if you boost it too much. And that app will only allow you to boost it a little bit before it starts to distort.
Also is there another way to wake up/turn off the phone without using the top button?

There are a few apps like No Lock that allow you to use the volume keys to unlock. Aside from that, there is no other way to wake the screen.

I can wake my EVO with the volume buttons. Some ROMs have this option baked in, no app needed. Decks ICS ROM has this, for example.
Sent from my HTC Evo 4G using XDA
The latest mikg ROM has it also
wake evo 4g with other than top button
cyanogenmod 7 has the option of using side volume buttons to wake phone
There are several roms that use the volume buttons to turn on the screen. its called "volume rocker wake" in the display settings normally on the phone.
