Better sound from EVO 4g - EVO 4G General

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.

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.

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.

Sound Volume during call

sound volume during the call too low!
using AXL3.
yes, i brought all volume setups to the max!
there is a patch, a registry tweak, something???
damn, 43 views not a single answer!!!
Did you set the volume during a call? Without call you can set only the volume of the device and the ringer...
I too am using the AXL3 but have had no sound problems. On the first call I just used the wheel on the side to turn up the volume.

I too am using that ROM and don't have sound issues. The only issue I have is that sometimes when I answer the phone, I need to use the wheel and turn up the volume because it defaults on a lower setting.

HD2 : manage volume when screen is black

Hi gurus,
I would like to be able to change volume when screen is turned off. Do you have a tweak?
Many thanks in advance
This is true, it gets REALLY annoying especially when I'm listening to music and can't adjust the volume with the screen off. Would love to see this problem fixed, especially since it was alleged that the HTC stock earphones had "volume control capabilities" (sigh....).
Had to resort to choosing between a HTC earphone with "forward", "backward", "call answer" capabilities, or a normal (and much better sound quality) earphone with volume control.
Tough choice eh? So yeah, I'm just typing this to bump this thread up, hopefully this would get fixed soon!!!
I use the HTC Music Player and the volume controls work for me on the side of the phone. Not sure what player you may be using, but I like to use the hardware supported software for reasons like these.

I was going to type much the same thing earlier, but got sidetracked.
Volume works fine for me in standby.

Wooohoo!! Thanks!
p/s: Another question, would u guys have any idea how to reduce the volume bar increments from 3 bars to 1 bar? I know this can be done by adjusting the on screen volume bar via touching it. But using the volume rocker with the screen off while listening to music doesn't actually help, does it? It either gets too loud or too soft when I click on the volume rocker.
Is there any way of doing this without having to use the HTC player?
I have a preference for a different player (pocket player) but wish I didn't have to turn on the screen to access the volume controls.

[Q] How to increase notification sounds?

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?

Shift Volume In General - In Call, etc

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"

Q why does the volume rocker only control media volume?

So I've had the n7 for a few weeks and love it. Running android 4.2 and nothing rooted. The 1 thing that annoys me most is that the volume rocker only seems to affect media volume, no matter where I am on the device. I have to open setting to adjust notification volume.
This isn't how it has worked on any other Android phone or tablet I've used. The volume rocker controls notification volume on everything else and it adjusts the media volume when I'm in a game or music/movie player.

If you find out the reason, i want to know it.
I wish it would only control media volume for me, i hate it controlling the ringer/notification volumes, but unfortunately there's no "fix" for that.
Maybe you found the magic solution xD
I found if im watching a video or listening to music it will only effect what im listening too, or if I do it on the main screen with nothing running it will change all the volumes.
You can press the rocker once and then tap the mixer button on the right side of the volume slider to bring up other volume options, but the main reason is most people set the notification volume and then just leave it alone. Media volume is the only thing that needs quick adjusts, usually. -Ara

This makes sense, but it's not what I'm used to. I guess I have to adjust to it. I'd like to be able to just control notification volume from say the home screen like I can my on my android phone. Oh well. 1 extra step won't kill me
