Is there any Android hack to up the volume of the speaker? I have a hard time hearing it in my car or around anyone.

I was wondering the same thing. I can hardly hear anyone. While we're at it, it'd be nice to boost the headphone jack volume as well.
You can use mixzing player or poweramp to make the volume louder playing music, now for calls I don't know.

Use DSPManager.
Anyone know of any presets available for DSPManager? Will it work with winamp or the stock player?

This increases the speakerphone volume for calls? I tried it and it seemed to do nothing unless I did something wrong.
I don't think it effects speakerphone, just music played. Poweramp has a nice EQ with a few presets and you can always make it "louder" by cranking the preamp. Doubtful that your speaker sitch can handle the preamp as it distorts clarity, but it can make music louder. PreAmp is a ****ty player for day to day though cuz navigating to artists involves several touches. I guess I can just write down the levels of my custom preset in PowerAmp and apply those to DSPS

Yeah, the low speaker volume bugs me, but apparently they can here me just clearly, can talk less than average volume (why couldn't it be like that for the receiving end too? :/)
Wish there was a fix OP, we'll just have to wait.
Yea I have to say I miss my TP2 and all those cab files lol thanks for the responses.
Dsp did nothing for me either. Guess its waiting time. Would anyone know where the volume is controled? Is it an android or kernel variable?

Anyone find out anything new about this? DSPManager does help some. But it would really be nice to be able to turn up the speaker volume louder.
Yeah speaker is way too low
Sent from my PG06100 using Tapatalk
Dont use any app... if your on sence you can just turn on hearing aid mode. gives you all kinds of range. Now if your on aosp ( cm7 ) use dsp manager or something.
Never thought of that, it seems to make a little difference, not a ton but a little. Now if someone can find a way to remove the icon

Anyone else think the volume of the external speaker is too low. I litterally struggle to have a speakphone conversation and watching media is disappointing.
Could it just be my phone hardware and needs to be exchanged for a new unit?

I have the same problem. The speaker volume is quite low, especially compared to the headphone volume.
Yes, very low. That has been a little disappointment to me.
Same for me. Do the last update solve this problem?

Solution!
Hey!
Cut a long story short, I Bought my neuxs s and was very disappointed with the volume level especially on the headset.
I looked round for 2 weeks for a solution, found one!
INSTALL A KERNEL WHICH SUPPORTS VOODOO SOUND CONTROL!
The sound volume is now VERY loud!
Here is a link to a hybrid kernel, half stock, half Cyanogenmod with Voodoo sound & colour control! its outta this world

Voodoo requires a custom kernel, but it doesn't increase the volume anyway.
But I think it's loud enough, and who watches a movie on their phone?

install volume (+) sound boost works like a charm really....
great improvement in sound after this,,..and no rooting required even..
So for my job I'm in a company vehicle most of the time and listen to podcasts through an FM transmitter, but even with the volume turned all the way up on both the phone and stereo I have a hard time hearing it. I didn't have this problem on my old phones, are there any apps or anything to fix this? DSP manager didn't do any good, running CM10..

I can't say for sure bc I don't remember if I hooked it up to the car before I updated to 4.2.2. I really hope it's a software issue and not hardware. I've searched and alot of other ppl are experiencing this issue with no fix yet. Any else have any input?

it is definitely worth it.
So im officially happy again with my nexus 4 bc the volume issue I have been experiencing is gone thanks to Franco kernel! For anyone experiencing this problem I would highly recommend flashing CM10 and Franco kernel as well as buying the Franco kernel updater on the app store which allows you to tweak volume/gain output settings. Not to mention the color and gamma correction settings have made this display insane. Plus all your other standard tweaks are available like cpu overclocking and undervolting if you're into that kind of thing. I hope this helps!

You could root your device and replace the stock kernel with for example, Faux's new kernel or Morfic's Trinity Kernel (Use the newest releases). They've both implemented the ability to increase volume with use of Faux's app in the play store (Paid app, helps the developer and allows you to adjust how much louder or quiet you want it so hey win-win). Faux's kernel that allows extra volume is V.009 and Morfic's is Trinity TF111 <-- can be found on Simm's G+ page (Not found on the Derkenel website). Faux's kernel can be found easily by clicking his links on his thread. Hope this helps
Yea so I thought boosting headphone volume would help but now I'm just getting noticeable distortion. What a f'n joke. LG really dropped the ball. I have no complaints otherwise, but this is a big issue and it's enough to make me consider moving on to another phone unfortunately

i thought i noticed a problem last weekend when i randomly thought to listen to music using headphones, but i forgot about it until today
my 'normal' headphones are at work, but i tried some others i had in the drawer and found that the headphones i use make a BIG difference to how loudly i can hear the music...the best of the bunch (VModa) triple the volume and quality of the sound when compared to a Sony pair which results in distorted sound and very low volume
i will try my Phillips headphones at work and see if they are as good as the VModa
i also tried Franco kernel volume boost and while it does increase the volume, it distorts the sounds a lot

What really annoys me is when I plug it into my aux port in my car. The sound is so low compared to my N7 it is rediculous
can this be a hardware issue as opposed to firmware/programing ?
If your phone is rooted you could give this a shot! Worked great for me!

So from November 2012 when I got my phone I have tried any thing came to my mind to solve this problem but nothing worked for me!!!
I'm very sensitive about music quality and I really can't stand this anymore!!! My volume is very low even when I crank it to the max!!! I mostly use my Dr Dre Studio headphones and sometimes my Beats Tours... I've tried several other headphones and didn't get any result
When I connect my Studio headphones to my laptop and I listen to the same track that I have on my phone it's super load like if I turn up the volume to the max I really go deaf!!! So I'm pretty sure it's not from my headphones... I know that the phone's amplifier is not as powerful as my laptop but still ... I think it is not normal, I also notice some other people have the same problem as me!!!
So these are the things I have tried already:
1. Using other mp3 player apps such as PlayerPro, PowerAMP, Winamp and .... none of them made any difference and the equalizer simply just mess up the quality of the track...
2. I have used all the mods like Beats Xlouder and such and they also just lowered the quality
3. All of my tracks are MP3 320kbps/flac audio format... still I tried to increase the audio using Audacity by amplifying the dB... It helped but not really noticeable.
Currently I don't have root access but if something can really help I'd be willing to root my device... like kernel or something! Please help

Please tell me you're being sarcastic...
Well...
A ) There's something wrong with your ear.
or
B ) You have a defective unit. My headphones are waaaayyyy too loud even at half volume. If it's really that bad, ask for an exchange unit. If you're adventurous, root and custom rom it. Might see a change.

Google Nexus 4 Volume low you can probably see people having the same problem I you think I'm lying
If you think you can help please give me a solution to my problem...
Imma be as descriptive as possible with my fix.
ROOT YOUR PHONE!
1. Install Trinity kernel. (Its the only kernel I've gotten this to work with)
2. Flash Misledz audio mod, keep up with the latest ones as in my opinion she really knows what she's doing and the quality gets better and better.
3. Once the mod is installed Titanium Backup / Rom Toolbox remove the 4 system apps installed by Misledz audio mod.
-Awesome beats, -Noozy Player, -Noozxoide, -Dolby Digital App.
4. Reboot wipe cache / dalvik in recovery, reboot.
5. Go to the market and download the latest Noozxoide, set up to your musical preference.
Now you can omit some parts such as keeping 3 of the apps, but I find awesome beats not to work at all, the libs in the mod does though. That's why I remove the apps. I listen to a lot of bass heavy music (rap / old school hip-hop). This method is a night and day difference in loudness and audio quality.
I genuinely hope this helps everyone.:good:
dude Awesome beats is the worst ... plus I'm not rooted any more
but I heard there is a kernel that increases the volume
Not awesome beats. Misleadz audio mod. Trinity kernel makes your audio louder naturally. With the audio mod trust me you'd give me an e-hug in gratitude (no homo). I had the same problem. This method I posted works.
I give it try thanks a lot

Haha told ya! :laugh:
What type of earphones or headphones do you use anyway? I'm using the V-Moda LP2's and they sound fantastic. They do need an amp to get the total feel but with Poweramp's equalizer, I have been pretty impressed.
Does anyone have a way to boost the sound on this phone? Even turned all the way up, it is not very loud when listening to native music player or Pandora. Its great with the head phones but I set it on the table and listen while I cook and clean.
This is why I wish clark44 would bring his freegs rom over here. In that rom he had mod that would increase the volume by 40% percent. Hopefully someone here will make a mod for it soon
I love the 90s. Good times.

Faux released a kernel for the sprint gs4 that's compatible with his speaker loudness and amp control app on the playstore.

I remember on my GSII I had some cheap rocketfish bluetooth headphones and I remember getting an app, or a flashable zip (rooted) and was able to increase the volume so much on the rocket fishes, my ears felt like they were going to bleed, lol
I have the backbeat 2's and they are awesome for the price (didn't want to spend for the jaybirds) but it could use a tad more volume, nothing crazy, just a little.
Is there anything out there? an app maybe?
thanks

You have probably already done this but there is a separate bluetooth volume control that, for me that I know of, can only be increased with the volume rocker switches when the music is actively being played.
