[Q] Increasing louc speaker volume? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Nexus 4's loud speaker volume isn't so high compared to other phones, as you guys already know. I know that there are apps that can increase the volume. But how far can i push it? I don't want to ruin my speaker. And yes, there is a mod that increases the volume of the nexus 4 , but unfortunately it doesn't work on xylon rom, which i'm using.
Thanks

I don't see any reason to push the speaker. The quality of the sound isn't normally great. By increasing the volume, quality will decrease even further.
Try increasing the volume with about 10%. That shouldn't damage anything.

I don't care about sound quality really, i just want to hear the song lol. And i dont know if 10% makes it better.

The volume is terribly low. Is there a way to access the system settings and increase the volume levels.

go to settings>audio
Or press UP on the volume button?
(Hint, it's on the right hand side between the L & R shoulder buttons)
Make sure you press the right way or you'll make the volume incredibly low!
Thaks guys but I know how to manually turn the volume up. My fone is preser with a limit to as high to volume can go. Im trying to bypass that limit.

Take a cover meant for a bigger battery and put an amp in there picking up the signals for your speakers and sending them amplified to your speaker. If you need a starting direction, look for cmoy amps.
Make sure the you have the media volume up to. Other then that idk what to tell you. I think the play is the loadest phone I've had. If its a ringtone that you think is quiet. I can take your ringtone and make it much loader using audacity.
I dont think the Play is that loud either, the quality of the sound is good, due to the stereo speakers.. But I would also like a way to increase the limit of the maximum volume if there is a way

Yeah, it is a phone, but Sony you think it would be cool if it could be used as a stereo too?
Besides, my previous phone, Nokia 5800 Xpress Music, was much louder than the Play. The Play just isnt as loud as you think

It's called headphones
Heck my old env was louder. I the alarm doesn't wake me up and i never hear txt or calls. I work in a loud place and all mh other phones i could hear 70% of the time. Great quality low sound

The maximum volume level is set for a reason.
Any louder & the speakers would distort.
I think in call loudspeaker volume could be much higher.

Voodoo Bass Boost vs Volume Limit

Has anyone noticed that the more you increase bass, the lower volume limit is?
I mean, the volume limit you have setted doesn't change, but you can't reach it.
Is that normal?

Probably so you don't kill your earbuds?

[Q] Nexus 4 low headphones volume, any fix?

Guys, I had issues with the speaker volume, but they somehow fixed themselves. Yesterday I tried to listen to some music and my headphones were barely audible outdoors at full volume. I'm quite sure the headphones are fine, as they are rather loud when plugged into my wife's iPhone, but with Nexus 4 I get may be 1/3rd of their usual volume at 100% slider setting.
I tried to search on the forum and Google it, but could find a guide to fix this issue. Has anyone encountered and successfully fixed low 3.5mm jack volume?
I would appreciate your suggestions! Thanks!
Are you rooted?
If yes you can try an audio mod like xLouder or Viper4Android.
If not you can use poweramp to boost everything although it will probably sound like ****.

Thanks for your response!
I'm not rooted, running fully stock. I don't really need to boost *everything*, just the headphone output, it's the only thing that has low volume.

Does Your Note 3's Speaker Distort at High Volume?

Just wondering if it distorts or not when at max volume? Is it normal?

mine does cause i have very loud sound mode
Yes it does. It is normal for this phone. HTC one is the only phone with decent speakers. I'm looking into bluetooth speakers to use at home but it's hard to know the best deal for as little $ as possible. I'm not springing for Bose speakers.
Beamed from my Galaxy Note 3
Yup

Yup mine also distorts. Viper4android has helped alleviate this problem for me at high volumes.
