[Q] Any app to increase the volume?

Well, sometimes there are some podcasts whose volume is quite low and quite dificult listen to them. One solution would be to increase the volume by pc, but I'm triyin to find an easier solution through the mobile.
I saw some aplications like volume booster, but any of them worked in our U8800. That is why I want to ask you if any of you know how to fix it.
THX!

Volume + should be working. Ret4rt includes it in hes rom.

I'm using dsp manager from cyanogenmod. its quite good.you can use app named 'equailizer' if have non rooted mobile.

Volume+ tested and doesn't work the volume increase (I use the rooted 2.3 stock Rom)
About DSP Manager it just let control de volume, but doesn't increase it, does it?

earphone sound volume is increased a bit can't say about speaker volume.

Increase headphone volume

Hi guys,
I was testing a bluetooth headphone and noticed the volume quite low even on the highest setting the headphone could give.
Is there a way to increase the volume the phone provides over a bluetooth connection with those secret codes?
I was trying this method but the code doesn't work at all:
Samsung Focus Audio Level ChangesIncrease Speaker Volume
1- Go to the dialer of your phone and access diagnostic mode by dialing ##634# or start the Diagnosis app by clicking it from your app menu.
2- Input *#0002*28345# to get to the Audio menu.
3- See the last option named “Device Gain (max/min)”... Hit the “Get” option next to it.
4- Now from among the 3 fields: in the second one enter 1600 and in the third field enter 0.
6- Hit “Set”.
7- Tap “Start” button at the bottom of the app.
8- Exit Diagnosis by clicking the windows home button then restart your phone.
Increase Headphone Volume
1- First and foremost make sure that your headphones are attached to your phone, as the fix won’t work otherwise.
2- Go to the dialer of your phone and access diagnostic mode by dialing ##634# or start the Diagnosis app by clicking it from your app menu.
3- Input *#0002*28345# in the diagnosis screen.
4- Navigate to “Device Gain (max/min)” and hit the "Get" button next to it.
5- In the 3 fields, enter these values respectively 5, 1100 and –1100 (some people use 1500 in second field but I think it is too high)
6- Hit "Set".
7- on the next line below change the AUDIENCE.CFG to "on".
8- Tap on the "Start" button at the bottom of the app.
9- Exit Diagnosis by clicking the windows home button then restart your phone.
NOTE:

By the way I tried a few other codes I found on the internet and nothing so far :/

i have tried everything and i ended up using audioboost from play store , its a little rough around the edges but it gives it a good boost

In the Stock Music Player:Settings > Equalizer > Custom > Move the Levers all the way up,all of them.

or use voodoo louder, Its a paid app (99p) and works well (Needs kernel support, So check before buying)

Do they add distortion? Increasing the boost in the equalizer won't affect the quality ?

Does voodoo really work when using bluetooth headphones? I think it only works or if the headphones are plugged into the 3.5 mm jack. But maybe I'm wrong because I don't use bluetooth headphones.

oh i have no idea i dont use them either I know it works with the phone speaker and wired headphones tho !

Im using Voodoo Louder now, seemed to increase the volume of my phone when I'm plugged to the wired headset.

According to google play voodoo only supports the 3.5 mm jack, no bluetooth and also not the speaker.

Ok so i bought the N7000 and i am genuinely dissapointed by the volume level in headphones. Coming from iphone 3g everything is top notch except for the volume level. I am on stock Samsung ICS 4.0.3 and even the videos are not loud enough. iphone 3g which is like 3 yrs old had an awesome loudness level and quality. Anyway to increase this?

Honestly are you people deaf? At least you must be hearing impaired. When I turn up the volume to the maximum it hurts my ears. It's by no means convenient anymore. I don't want to insult anybody but I am really wondering how someone can claim the sound through the headphones is not loud enough. Maybe your source is not loud enough because like I said, I cannot listen to my mp3 files at the highest level, it hurts. So here are my propositions: Either check your source (sound files) or buy voodoo louder.

Have to agree with altae there, although I use in ears which are notably louder than cans or over ears. If it really bothers you try paranoid which has quite major amp settings so you can max way beyond stock.

I listen to music with the lowest volume and it still hurts my ears.

Perhaps you need to change your choice of music:laugh::silly:

I need a fix that works with stock ics. Dont want to root. And yes the NOTE is not loud enough. Like it or not. Htc has higher loudness too.

Poweramp offers slight volume boost... Just checking, have you tried adjusting the music volume in settings?

I listen to jpop.
Nothing strange there.
Though the speaker is not loud enough.. I don't understand the complains 'bout the headphones.

I can agree on that, the speaker isn't that good. But I bought it as a phone and not a ghetto blaster so I don't really care.

ok so judging by the replies i think i should root and use voodoo loud. Does it really crank up the volume high?

[Q] Any way to get my speaker volume back?

So, I just updated from GB (Royal Ginger) to JB (albinoman887's CM 10.1 JB 4.2.2 KANG) and I've lost about 1/3 of my speaker's volume. I can barely hear the phone ringing unless it very close and the speaker is facing upward. I have, of course, turned my ringer volume to maximum.
I have seen kernels labeled as "Volume Boosted" and I was wondering: is switching kernels (I used the included kernel for both ROMs) the reason for my loss in maximum volume? Is there anything I can do about it?
I understand that JB on my MT4G is already more than one could ask for,;but if there is a simple solution, I'm all ears.

Do you have DSP manager installed?

Yes. I can't get the equalizer to affect anything besides media player applications (like Apollo). It was my understanding that DSP Manager was designed this way.
To be clear, I've tested DSP manager's equalizer and it's working with Apollo. It's not working with ringtones, speakerphone, nor most games/apps.

Uhh... You could try downloading AwesomeBeats v5. I think that affects the whole system.
And when I have enough time I'll actually get you something to boost your volume but I dont have time right now

Any app/fix for better camera and higher-volume music?

Two things that annoy me with the N4 are
1) the camera, how long it takes to focus and snaps pictures that are blurry because of very minor shaking.
2) The native output-volume of music - both on headphones or using AUX cable in a car - the volume is very low.
So, any Camera app that fixes the stated focus problem? Any music player that produces higher-output volume?

The first one is better if you put it in Action mode or at least without HDR. And the second is just the hardware.

Volume can be improved with apps like poweamp which has a built in pre amp. (No root needed) also volume+ root and no root.
I believe there is also a build prop tweak that can also improve volume but I haven't tried obviously root needed. Hope this helps.

Franco Kernel also boosts speaker and headphones. I boosted headphones by 8 for noisy places like flights.

Use Viper4android for headphone related volume boost.
use any custom kernel having sound modifications. ak/hellcore for example

i Need a custom ROM for a custom kernel?

It works completely on custom Roms, but on stock Roms Viper is picky on what it likes to work on. It will work on some players but not on others. You will need a custom ROM for it to work on all audio outputs. When you install it, enable it for headphones and increase max output gain.
