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?

From the market problem solved cost 2 bucks tho worth it

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

is there a way to increase speaker (not headset) volume with the Voodoo control app?
I only found headset volume increase...
The newest update that just came out increased my in ear speaker tremendously.

With that app you can increase the external speaker
For in call volume supercurio is working on it
For headphones theres voodoo sound

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..
Lowest volume setting too loud after touchwiz update.
Its like turning the volume on and off when going from 0 to the first volume step.\
Sucks...
No problem for me, lowest setting just fine.
But i run a custom TW UEKMB rom

What app are you using? I notice, for example, in Google Music the lowest setting is so low it's almost inaudible.
Same issue. Stock music app's volume is way too loud for the lowest setting. I use this at night when sleeping. Before, one notch up was perfect. Now it is pretty loud and actually keeps me up. lol
nope. seems as though it only effects tabs with micro sd slots.

What a shame ... I was really looking forward to that kernel he was developing.
I have this problem too both on stock TW and on Starburst. P7510 32gb
My headphones are pretty sensitive so this basically makes the tab useless for audio for me.
Does anyone have suggestions? I have been looking for an app to reduce the volume but nothing has worked so far. Hoping for something that could achieve finer volume steps.
Ya this is an software engineering defect. Its amazing how they can design a volume control like this and think that its is good.
Bump! I'm still experiencing this on Task's 6.0 ROM with Touchwiz and HC3.2. Is there any fix for this?

Is it really that hard to use an equalizer and adjust the main? When is it that you use the lowest setting anyways?
I experience the same thing after update to task rom 6.0 but then i flash stock kernel ukmn and the volume back to normal.

Hi All,
I moved from my Nexus 6 to the 6P two days ago, so far I'm loving every single aspect of this phone. The only thing I seem to be having issues with is with the volume.
On all the past phones I've had I've always boosted the audio via sound control with custom kernels, maybe I'm deaf but stock volumes just aren't loud enough.
I've tried a bunch of different Kernels on my 6P and also different kinds of roms, Stock, CM, etc. Whenever I change the volume value higher than +5 the headphones start cutting out as if the phone can't produce the sound at this volume.
Is this something that's a standard issue with the Nexus 6P or do I have a faulty device? I usually boost the volumes up by about 7 or 8 to enjoy music at the volume I need.
Any help would be much appreciated!

Don't think so have you tried ex kernel yet think that has fauxsound support
I recently bought a Nexus 6P and I'm loving the pure Android experience.
In my Nexus 6P, Front top speaker is very loud when I'm in a call even the volume is set to lowest.
How can I fix this?

Get ElementalX Kernel and EX Kernel Manager. You should be able to adjust speaker gains then.

Thanks a lot for the suggestion. Let me try it out.
Any application that can be used without root?

To perform hardware level changes like changing speaker gains, you need custom kernels as well as an app to control that kernel, which will always need root.
Hey fellow xda guys
Just to state i always root and install roms on my devices but for this one am somewhat consious...i have it 3 days now and already thinking on rooting...what do u guys believe on this part?should i?
Bump. Its, something ive been searching for an answer to myself. Is there any noticeable increase in performance or functionality with the use of custom roms or kernels. I understand that xposed would play a great part in making this decision, but for someone who is not a very die hard user of the xposed framework, being as its a good enough phone without root, would you recommend rooting based on the custom roms and kernels available?
Well I have always rooted phones right back from the early days of my HTC HD1. Last year though I rooted my Galaxy S6 which tripped the Knox counter. Many people say Samsung will repair your phone in the UK but I can tell you thats not the case. My phone developed a fault and I spent 4 months in discussions with them and they would not budge. Threw all sorts of consumer laws at them with no joy. So if your happy tripping knox with the risk of down the road needing a repair then go for it. But I would suggest unless you really do need a specifice Root app then I wouldnt bother. With my GS7 Edge battery lasts comfortably all day so no need for root apps to extend battery and I have to admit the phone absolutely flies. But ultimately its down to you. Also if you use android pay or samsung pay or sky go or barclaycard app then root will prevent use of these. As I say though each to their own.
I would also like some more feedback on whether to root or not. This is my first time not rooting a phone out of the box.

Stock here. Runs fantastic which is not always the case with rooted ones when you read the forum. Little glitch with eBay yesterday was the only issue I had to date.
I didnt find rooting my s7 edge exynos helped my battery to last longer.. the only thing i found helpful is the soundmod because of low quality audio..
It all depends on how you use your phone.
I always root my Android.
Just bought S7 Edge yesterday and root it the night I got it.
I never have problem with warranty here, with rooted device, they never check it.
So the drawback only Knox and Samsung Pay. Which I don't use anyway.
The advantages is a lot : XPosed, Custom Rom, Mods, etc..

i rooted for audio mods. i noticed using xposed uses more battery but root is fine no drain.
I rooted for Greenify, ViperAudio & tweaking some Ui sounds but I'm a bit bummed that I can't use the Pay service here in NZ anymore.
Never had a problem with 6 years of Galaxy phones so I don't care to much for Warranty.

Reading through this, just felt the need to jump on this one (sorry XD) - 'low quality audio'? This phone has very very good quality audio. Are you referring to the output volume? Because the *quality* is very good XD

Yes, i meant the low output of the volume especially when using the headset. I had to root and install mods.

It's plenty loud enough for me, would like to keep my hearing intact.
Out of interest though, how can you increase volume by rooting? Surely the limitations are hardware related, namely the internal headphone amplifier no?

You're right, but its sort of like the iso in a camera - it artificially boosts it, usually with the tradeoff of sound quality. With only a small boost the quality loss is probably too minimal to hear though, especially if coupled with a few EQ tweaks to try and lessen the effects.

With the OEM headset the volume output is too low for me, incall volume and music especially when im on the subway.
Volumeboost, dolby, viper. It all solved my problem.

The oem headset is pants imho, no offense meant.
I am a self confessed 'audiophile' and use Grado and Sennheiser h/phones with the s7e.
My issue with algorithm 'volume boosters' (as opposed to hardware) is that they almost certainly increase distortion and clipping.

I have the 64 Audio U12s - and have similar issues. The audio quality IS good on this phone though. Ill let you know how I get on with algorithm boosters this week.
Well i always root my phones on the first week but i just bought the s7 edge two weeks ago..i see that people have screen issues after first month or two so im afraid to trip knox right now..im confused..i dont care about warranty until this phone..but somthing is stopping me..what do you say should i root it and hope for the bedt or wait a month or two before rooting the device?

I always like to root my android devices however jailbreaking/root is not always required for full customization on the phone (unlike on ios) It always comes down to personal preference, what were some things that made you want to root?
