increasing earphone volume

Hi,
Is there any solution to increase earphone volume and call quality like in HTC or samsung by using service codes or any modifications?.
I think the volume and call quality in X8 is very low and poor.

If you are using cyanogenmod rom with working DSPmanager, turn on compression, it will give you a real boost

Does turning on compression improves in-call volume?

Absolutely useless advise. DSP does not work with earspeaker.
Having installed cyanogenmod7, also faced with the same problem - my xperia x8 has very low sound via earspeaker. I can hardly hear what caller is speaking to me.

then this must be your cell phones problem, not with the rom. I dont have any problem listening even on a busy road.

Try to clean your speaker of dust......

FXP roms over 028 and official CM71 rom have bug there - very low call in volume.

DHD + CM7.1 in-call volume/sound problems

Other than the issue listed below CM7.1 is awesome! Great work devs!
I flashed CM7.1 from 7.1RC the other night.
I had no issues in the RC but with 7.1 I notice that the volume control does not affect the in-call volume. Regardless of the Volume setting, the in-call speech and dial tones are clipping. I've also been told that the listener has a hard time hearing me.
Has anyone else had this issue and/or know a fix for it?
Thank you.

Change radio

Yep, seems like a bit of a problem with the radio or the ROM. Are you using the recommended radio for the ROM? Try that first. If that doesn't work try a different ROM.

The latest radio with 1003 ril seems to be working for me

I flashed the latest available radio out there for DHD (don't remember the link to the thread, sorry) and it was working flawlessly.
Cheers

I have same problem on my Galaxy mini
I am sorry, I am a newbie.
what do you mean about "RADIO"? that is the radio aplication or phone application (to make a call)?
and how I change it?
Sorry I am not good in english. I hope you understand what I mean.

When I make/answer a call, for the first 10 seconds or so the volume is really loud, and using the volume rocker doesn't do anything. After that the volume then drops to whatever the rocker was set at (which is usually the lowest volume as i've been trying to lower it before) and I can adjust the volume again.
Would this be a radio issue? I am using CM 7.1

i had the same problem
im using the latest stock DHD radio
everytime have to press volume button 1 times then it return back to what i set before

pressing sound reducing button will increase the in call volume,this helped me but any permanent solution for this?

[Q] Any app to increase the volume?

Well, sometimes there are some podcasts whose volume is quite low and quite dificult listen to them. One solution would be to increase the volume by pc, but I'm triyin to find an easier solution through the mobile.
I saw some aplications like volume booster, but any of them worked in our U8800. That is why I want to ask you if any of you know how to fix it.
THX!

Volume + should be working. Ret4rt includes it in hes rom.

I'm using dsp manager from cyanogenmod. its quite good.you can use app named 'equailizer' if have non rooted mobile.

Volume+ tested and doesn't work the volume increase (I use the rooted 2.3 stock Rom)
About DSP Manager it just let control de volume, but doesn't increase it, does it?

earphone sound volume is increased a bit can't say about speaker volume.

[Q] Any way to get my speaker volume back?

So, I just updated from GB (Royal Ginger) to JB (albinoman887's CM 10.1 JB 4.2.2 KANG) and I've lost about 1/3 of my speaker's volume. I can barely hear the phone ringing unless it very close and the speaker is facing upward. I have, of course, turned my ringer volume to maximum.
I have seen kernels labeled as "Volume Boosted" and I was wondering: is switching kernels (I used the included kernel for both ROMs) the reason for my loss in maximum volume? Is there anything I can do about it?
I understand that JB on my MT4G is already more than one could ask for,;but if there is a simple solution, I'm all ears.

Do you have DSP manager installed?

Yes. I can't get the equalizer to affect anything besides media player applications (like Apollo). It was my understanding that DSP Manager was designed this way.
To be clear, I've tested DSP manager's equalizer and it's working with Apollo. It's not working with ringtones, speakerphone, nor most games/apps.

Uhh... You could try downloading AwesomeBeats v5. I think that affects the whole system.
And when I have enough time I'll actually get you something to boost your volume but I dont have time right now

[Q] CM10.2 Low Headphone Volume

I'm running the latest CM10.2 Nightly of the MicroSD on my Nook Color. I'm really liking it over CM9(what I had before) but I've run into one major issue, Headphone Volume. I opened up DSP Manager and and cranked the equalizer up in the Speaker category and my speaker got nice and loud, but when I try to do the same for the headphones nothing works. Changing the Headset category's equalizer has zero effect on anything, and changing the other categories didn't help either. I can't apply any audio affects to the headphone jack. I found this thread on the CM forums, but couldn't find any of the mentioned files or directories. I suspect things have been changed and moved around in Android 4.3. The only volume boosting method I've found that works is by playing the video/audio file in MX Player and use it to boost the volume, but that only helps marginally and is zero help in any other app.
Is there any way I can get this to work?

There is a thread over at http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/73393-low-headphone-volume-using-nightlies/ about your issue.
I couldn't get mine to work because I did not find the file mentioned in the post.

I already linked to that thread in my post and said that it didn't contain any answers for CM10.2. All the files mentioned in it don't exist in the latest 10.2 nightlies.

I'm running 10.2.1 stable on nook color and have the same problem but it also affects my internal speaker too. Only thing I've found that works is Volume+ 2.0. I had same problem with CM7 and their original version was the only fix that worked on that as well.
I really don't understand why we're not given direct access to set the max volume settings since this is a problem for some users in EVERY version of android. I get why but it should be available in the hidden dev settings with a warning that you can blow your speakers/headset up if not careful.
Anyway...you can get VolumePlus v2.0 from their website free. androidaudiohacks.com (first post, can't post links) Its a beta version and I've seen some bugs but it works to fix low volume on my NC running CM10.2.1. I know his original vol+ is in the app store but I'm not sure about v2. You need v2 for jellybean.
Just so you're aware, sometimes the boost and or EQ switches don't stay in the on position but they still seem to be working fine. Also the speaker boost settings seem to work on both my speaker and headset. So if you just try setting the HS settings and nothing happens try the speaker settings. Hope this helps some.

Sorry for the late reply. Thanks for the info. I had known about Volume+ but ignored it in this case because last I checked they couldn't get it working past Android 4.1. I'll try it later. Thanks for the help.
