Increasing Volume on Phone (Speaker and Headpones) - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey,
I had SGS3 before Nexus 4 and the volume on that was low, so you could increase it with Custom Roms and / or custom kernels so the speaker and headphones volume was much louder.
Anyone know whether something similar will come for NExus 4 as it's a tad quiet, althought the music quality is better than SGS3 in my opinion.
Cheers.

Read the description of the app before suggesting it.
This Application is ONLY for phones running Gingerbread.
It will NOT work on any other version of Android but should work on ANY phone running Gingerbread (2.3).

I wont
and the paid version works fine for me

Thanks for the replies.
The Volume+ App doesn't work so I guess I will just wait to see if a kernel comes out that works with volume boosts.
Cheers

Win w/audio booster > Android audio?

I really used to love the audio quality in windows. Now this was only the case when using audio booster. It just made the highs higher, and the midtones richer.
Is there anything like audio booster for android? I really miss my custom presets
i 100% agree with you winmo + audio booster + srs wow hd completely pwns android in terms of sound quality. Search the forums for "meltus audio hack", i remember using it on my g1 and it helped a lot. (there should be an app in the market too however you should check it is comatible with our builds first)
try LVH 3.6 (Loud Volume Hack 3.6) need rooted rootfs
louder volume hack only works for g1 and mytouch 3g he hasnt updated it to support new phones
*Bump* Anyone that can make a Program that looks and works as good as: Audio Booster v2.5? i'm even willing to pay for it!

In the market there's a music player called PowerAMP. It costs about 2 or 3 bucks if I'm not wrong. There you have a 10 band equalizer and so on. Try it out.

external phone speaker fixed ?

Has anyone hacked the kernel, hardware to make this phone useable.......I'm missing so many calls ?
There is no hardware or software issue with the speakers ...... maybe you have a faulty device.

In your alternate universe that may be true. That's the universe where the battery is brilliant too, I presume?
vxnice said:
No need to bring in the word homosexuality when we are talking about external speaker on the phone androhero...thousands of people complain about the speaker and battery life its even be said in a lot of reviews all over the web about the speaker and battery life....if your speaker is perfect that's great. But my speaker isn't and I just want to see if anyone have fixed this problem so please we can do with out the smart ass comments..

for starters , i wasnt the one that started making sarcastic comments, all i said was there is no hardware or software issue with the DHD regarding the speakers, its just the way the HTC Tones are made, but if you feel you wish to join in and attempt to bully me like bobbyelliott feel free
by the way you may also want to try this, it's the htc tones with increased volume levels, just flash it from recovery...... i hope you choke on it

Ok, I don't want to see any trouble here. Please behave yourselves. Referrence to homosexuality as an insult is not appreciated.

The Android Revolution Rom 2.0.12 has this included since yesterday.
do you just flash these kernels using clockwork overtop the rom your already using?
ive never done this before and would like more volume myself.

Hi can you please give me step by step on how to install the new kernel ? Thanks
Is it really nessesary to flash and what not? I just bumped up the volume of the tones I like in Audacity and copied it back on to SD. Now my volume is “normal”.

Without a kernel that gives a volume boost I find most of the times myself in a situation where I can't hear the person when on a call. With the new kernel (thanks Lee ) it's how it should be, I'm happy

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.

[Q] Headphone audio volume fix?

The volume on headphones is too low and I know that there are fixes but only for the snapdragon version. I'm wondering if anybody knows any mods or something I can do to increase the volume through headphones.

Absolute volume?

Does anyone know how to get absolute volume working on MIUI 12? I'm on EU after custom ROMs and really miss it. I'd also like to change the share menu to the one on the pixel experience ROMs as I think it's much more convenient than the one on MIUI. Any magisk modules or other hacks?
the developer options have a absolute volume option. isn't that what you are looking for?
