The volume is terribly low. Is there a way to access the system settings and increase the volume levels.

go to settings>audio
Or press UP on the volume button?
(Hint, it's on the right hand side between the L & R shoulder buttons)
Make sure you press the right way or you'll make the volume incredibly low!
Thaks guys but I know how to manually turn the volume up. My fone is preser with a limit to as high to volume can go. Im trying to bypass that limit.

Take a cover meant for a bigger battery and put an amp in there picking up the signals for your speakers and sending them amplified to your speaker. If you need a starting direction, look for cmoy amps.
Make sure the you have the media volume up to. Other then that idk what to tell you. I think the play is the loadest phone I've had. If its a ringtone that you think is quiet. I can take your ringtone and make it much loader using audacity.
I dont think the Play is that loud either, the quality of the sound is good, due to the stereo speakers.. But I would also like a way to increase the limit of the maximum volume if there is a way

Yeah, it is a phone, but Sony you think it would be cool if it could be used as a stereo too?
Besides, my previous phone, Nokia 5800 Xpress Music, was much louder than the Play. The Play just isnt as loud as you think

It's called headphones
Heck my old env was louder. I the alarm doesn't wake me up and i never hear txt or calls. I work in a loud place and all mh other phones i could hear 70% of the time. Great quality low sound

The maximum volume level is set for a reason.
Any louder & the speakers would distort.
I think in call loudspeaker volume could be much higher.

Has anyone noticed that the more you increase bass, the lower volume limit is?
I mean, the volume limit you have setted doesn't change, but you can't reach it.
Is that normal?

Probably so you don't kill your earbuds?

dammit, but i want to kill 'em all... =o\
actually, i was not listening on earbuds when i noticed it! i'm just trying to confirm that is right...
Anyone feels that speaker is too weak and cant hear people's talking in the phone calling? I have to use handfree when doing calls. Just so annoying!

Please download AnEQ equaliser from market. It enable you to boost +15DB of output to your speaker. Used that. Clear sound but touch bass boost will distort the speaker.

Mine is loud enough. Haven't changed anything.

Thanks for introducing the app to me. I really donno if that's hardware problem or not. Or maybe just the phone is too big and I don't get used to it. I used 3.5" monitor mobile before. And now the phone is bigger, when do phone calls, my holding must have to be different. The speakerpohone always cant reach my ear hole. LOL!
Works beautifully. There is another app called "Volume+" which provides more options for Headsets and Bluetooth too. It too works good but "AnEQ equaliser" is bit louder.
Hi,
Nexus 4's loud speaker volume isn't so high compared to other phones, as you guys already know. I know that there are apps that can increase the volume. But how far can i push it? I don't want to ruin my speaker. And yes, there is a mod that increases the volume of the nexus 4 , but unfortunately it doesn't work on xylon rom, which i'm using.
Thanks

I don't see any reason to push the speaker. The quality of the sound isn't normally great. By increasing the volume, quality will decrease even further.
Try increasing the volume with about 10%. That shouldn't damage anything.
I don't care about sound quality really, i just want to hear the song lol. And i dont know if 10% makes it better.

Well, more than that could blow up the speaker.

I do not like how the S4 (9505) is pausing my headphone music / podcasts and then playing the whistle / notification out of the SPEAKERPHONE speaker annoying people around me on public transit.
WHY on earth is it doing this and not playing it through my headphones only?
Furthermore, what I'd actually prefer is the music / podcast I'm listening to, simply drops in volume slightly and the notification comes in - at aneven lower volume, just to let me know - 2 channels at the same time.
Anyone know if this is possible or of any notification adjustments I can do?
I think that is so you can notice the notification/ring when you forget to unplug your earphones. Good design.
I agree with you about pausing music. It should just play them together with lower volume for music.

Really good design would be to give the end user a choice between the two methods

Or you can mute the device from notifications panel.

I am using Poweramp, there is an option in the settings to prevent this.

I see your point re: the earphones but I kind of don't personally care about that. Do you know if it's possible to have the 2 played together? (I'd actually like the notification to be the quieter one - just so I can hear it just during my music)

I detest that program, it corrupted the data on my SD card - I told them about it, they didn't care because it was a rare error.
Besides, it should be a system wide setting, anyone know if it's possible to have notifications just play alongside the current audio stream?
I can hear distortion while using headphones on my g2 from T-Mobile, anyone having the same problem?

No, I got a new set of headphones for it a few days ago and I use it in the car hooked up thru auxillary input and sounds perfect both ways.
Was hearing it while charging, can anyone test for me. Thanks

I was charging and playing music on my way to Vegas and back last week and had no issues. Maybe it is just your headphones and a bad impedance match up to the audio out.

Thanks, I'll try again with different headphones, was using my Samsung's.

I was also listening with the volume maxed out, which should be the place where distortion is heard most if there is any. Do you hear the distortion problem at max volume only or anywhere on the volume scale?
