This is something that we all are pissed about. We have like 3 others threads on this. Wish there was a flash able zip to increase this
I love the 90s. Good times.

Lol I'm coming from the Evo 3d. You should hear the sound coming out of that phone. It's pathetic without mods. So to my ears this thing is loud!
I guess that's one of the benefits coming from that phone.

I'm also coming from the evo 3d. When I first saw this thread I was like low sound? I felt like it was too loud when I first started using it.

*high fives* A fellow 3D owner. :thumbup::beer:
I can't wait to see how loud this thing can be now!

It definitely was a disappointment, but on the other hand that phone is what popped my android cherry. Now I'll never buy a phone that isn't an android.

Go download Volume Booster from the play store. I included the link at the bottom.
After some trial and error this one seems to work the best on the galaxy s4. I turned it on and had to immediately turn my media volume down because it was too loud lol.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.liquidsoft.entertainment.volume.booster

None of those apps have any effect. Volume booster just jumped my volume slider all the way up, which is where it was already. Im coming from the htc one...and that phone definitely pushed my headphones with the same chipset. I dislike having to max the volume because it introduces distortion. Guess ill have to try faux kernel out

Volume+ is the app I use in the play store it works on TW and AOSP for me.

I mean the Samsung music app, combined with adapt sound sounds great in my headphones. Did you try that?

I think all EVO3d users jumped ship from HTC to Samsung because of that phone. No amount of roms or tweaks can save that phone.

Not sure if it still works.been out of the game for a while. You can try qpst. Its qcom. You'll need to download drivers. Don't mess around with it if you aren't very sure what you're doing. Not very user friendly. You can really mess things up. Cool program though.

[Q] Anyway to get the Speaker Louder?

For some reason it feels like the speaker is considerably lower than the speakers in the D1. Is there any app/script or something I can do to make my speakers louder?
Good question. There is a noticeable difference in the volume.
Sent from my rooted DROID2 using XDA App
This has been asked many times and there are no solutions yet. It's still much louder than HTC phones, so we should be thankful for that.
I know you can boost the volume on iphone's which are jailbroken...
I'll check out what they did to boost the volume, maybe that will help a bit i guess

I checked into it yesterday after reading the orginal post. He has the files that you could push manually to your phone. Someome could probably get the files and figure out why it doesn't work and patch it? Not sure though.

I really hope so because this phone is ridiculously quiet. I really like some hardware updates on this phone compared to D1, but the D1 just seemed like a more user-friendly device.

Get Nexus S 4G ringtones on my new device?

I am wondering if it is possible for me to get all the ringtones from my last device, Nexus S 4G, for use on my Galaxy Note. I had over six notification noises for people and emails and it would make life easier if I didn't have to get used to new noises all over again.
tl;dr Can I get the stock Nexus S ringtones on my ATT Galaxy Note?
If yes, can someone get them to me?
Thank you.

Sure you can. Just download a stock(ish) ROM and grab the ringtones from /system/media/audio
I would copy them to PC then transfer to new phone.

Im sorry but iBeats and Beats period sucks.
For 150$ pair of earphones that the bass isn't even that good which is what their meant for and it goes in n out in one ear. ha for 75$ get the Klipsch s4 their the best for the bass and top of the line klipsch for earphones when it comes down to bass. And very durable.

Or some $10 in-ear headphones, almost all of these have great bass and clear audio since they don't have to be as amplified since they're closer to your ear drum.

I tried, but liked vodoo better, as this mod permanently increased some bass effect, with vodoo you can control it. But to most people it won't matter, as it works good enough without tinkering anything.
I use them together and I can notice a more clarity and bass. Of course I have a pair of $200 DJ headphones so maybe that helps
Also this isn't a port and doesn't belong in development. Thanks for posting it though, we follow the rules strictly over in the Captivate forums too.

It seems that the original link is gone, but I found this in the Epic 4G threads and wanted to give it a try. It's suppose to work for any Gingerbread rom, but I'm running ICS. I listened to a music track before flashing and then flashed the zip and it seems to sound clearer. It might be just a placebo.
If anyone wants to try this and see if it works, please see the attached flashable zip.
I don't take credit for this; but feel free to thank me if you like this.
Oh ya, make a nandroid before you flash this - just in case it messes something up.
