Volume low on headphones. - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Also on the speaker. I tried diff apps but to no avail. Is there a config file that can be added or edited to boost volume? I really think the volume is set lower than it should be. Anyone?

I use sound booster but you have to keep fiddling to get a percentage that works.
Keep an eye on the X louder mod and hope he brings out a 4.2 version soon

Cool but I hate 4.2 because of the bugs. Anyway, there must be config files to edit the volume. These apps don't seem to do Nada.

I do not want to root at this time for various reasons. Stupid of me for even posting this seeing you would have to have su in order to edit config files or run scripts. I noticed volume+ on the play store states that the app will most likely not work unless you're rooted. Bummer.
I just flashed back and do not want lose everything nor do I want to back everything up. Wish they would just provide a way to boost volume or would have tested the volume on the device! It's too low!

Depends on where you buy it, it maybe be a ear safety regulation, I know in some countries volume must not exceed certain value. For example, if you get an iPod in US or France, then the US one is going to be way louder.
I don't know whether this is the case with N7, or just a design flaw.

Mine used to do the same until I installed the apps called ear piece and speaker boost and use them together also go into there settings and adjust them to a 100% GOD BLESS YOU GUYS

Those two apps do work but I am picky. Wish I could have the boost and not lose the bass. They only seem to boost midrange a bit and then distort. If I use Google music eq it cuts the apps out and vice versa. I am still experimenting. Thanks for all the help. God bless you as well.

Well I discovered the problem. I am a dimwit! It was partially my over the ear headphones! I tried some ear buds with the equalizer app and it is amazing! Lol...forgive.....

I was going to ask what kind you have LoL glad you fixed it GOD BLESS YOU GUYS

By the way. The eq in Google music works just fine. No need for me to even use an app.

Big headphones require more power
And usually those are oriented more towards clean studio sound (unless you're using Beats, which is just bass and some more bass and nothing else)
Try connecting N7 to big headphones trough an amplifier, I'm sure you'll notice the difference.
I'm glad you figured it out.

Headphone volume?

I saw a post about volume issues with the galaxy nexus on jellybean, and some people were talking about certain kernels that have volume boosts built in... in fact I'm running air kernel on my ns4g which has voodoo and allows me to increase the output. Is there anything like that for the nexus 7? The headphone output isn't as loud as I wish it was. And sorry of this has been answered and I jus didn't find it, searching is easier on the computer which I don't have access to at the moment...

Anyone?
I use the app "equalizer" and set it to rock. Louder and much better output.

I use volume + (volume booster) from meltus. I have 2 N7's and one isn't as loud as the other so this app makes it so much better...actually too loud sometimes.

You can go to Settings>Sound and disable "Safe headset volume" or find something else at Sound that might cause it, I can't tell you exactly because i don't have the phone myself.
No such options on stock rom any other suggestions ?

I also want to know how to disable this annoying pop up, worst thing is you absolutely need to press ok to crank up the volume.... I hate it!!

[Q:HowTo] disable headphones jack?

Hi there I want to know if there's a way to disable the headphones jack hw , like in build prop or something. Since I can't unplug it by opening my n4.
I will appreciate a lot. My jack is bad I prefer not to use headphones than dealing with the crap of not hearing during call or no screen off.
Thanks

I was looking at sys/bus , but I see that in /system is where the drivers are. I don´t want to disable all the audio things! Just the headset. I have to find out wich one is it.
Thanks!

Slight 'click' or 'pop' noise occasionally heard on screen touch

Even when my phone is muted this happens. Its a faint click or pop noise I'll sometimes hear coming from my phone when I click on something. This is with everything muted, its not the normal haptic feedback or anything like that. Anyone else have this issue??

From where does the sound originate? The speaker? The screen? The edge?
It sounds like your phone has a loose part. Clamp it firmly on the face and back, the make sure the torx screws on the bottom and appropriately tightened. Do not overtighten, for you risk cracking your phone from the stress that might occur from doing so.
Woah haha, I just created a thread about this

I have it too. Comes from the speaker. Mine happens about 70 percent of the time when clicking on something on screen. Interestingly, it doesn't happen when using the keyboard.
It must be something in software. Currently running the latest PA3 rom.

Trading in under warranty. Root and loki still available?

Today I am picking up my new gs4 from the warranty center due to headphone jack problems. I was wondering if I will still be able to root and use the loki kernel exploit? Or just deal with the damn problems? Anyone have any idea. I know they are re manufactured mobos so I dont think they would have patched anything but im not willing to take a chance any info would be greatly appreciated.

Yes. They maybe refurbished but there still the same phone.

Also with it being a refurbised mobo does that make an issue. Should I just keep the one that was brand new.

I have a refurbished phone and it's no different than my original, other than it works now.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
If the new phone has AMDB or AMDL firmware (AT&T) you should be OK.
Thanks guys! Yeah I have [email protected] Got a call from them, going to pick it up now! Hopefully my monster headphones wont pop and crack after turning the volume passed 7.... the original samsung headphones have no issues whatsoever. Its just my expensive ones like klipchs and monster that seem to pop andvcrack at high volune when they work flawlessly on other devices... doesvanyone know which headphones with the 3 buttons are compatable with the gs4. So far volume controls refuse to work on monster dna earbuds and klipsch s4i headphones. Is there a certain ohm or impedance the gs4 uses. Never had this problem with my atrix... a compatable list of 3 button headphones would be greatly appreciated.
