[fix] more volume for CM7 (updated for 1.3/1.4)

I believe based on a few testers' results that I have fixed this at a kernel level. I had tried this kernel fix originally back when this first happened but I didn't boost the values high enough to make a difference in testing, so thanks to tiamat for more precise values. I have tweaked the values to be louder than my previous kernel, you might notice a slight crackle and likely need to turn down one slot at the highest setting now if you never had volume issues, the highest slots are for people that seem to have more serious volume issues. If this works for people I'll get it merged into the cm mecha msm7x30 kernel.
If this works or doesn't work, PLEASE post specifically and accurately, this can only get better if I get feedback. Please also read the OP fully, there are a lot of questions being asked towards the back pages of this thread that could easily be answered with 2 seconds of reading. As always, you can find me in #slayher on freenode if you want to give more specific feedback or scenarios.

-------------------
OUTDATED
-------------------
Right now this is a temporary workaround until something more elegant can get merged into the source but I need to spend more time with it. The test users I gave this out to reported better volume in: backspeaker, earpiece and headphone jack. Since this has worked with a few people I'm going to post it here and see how it works for others. I don't personally have low audio on CM7 so testing of this was done by a few affected users so thanks to those who tested it, especially syco; and also slayher and jcase as well.
INFO:
1) CM7 rc0.4 is required (this post will be updated if new versions come out)
2) A system nandroid should be taken, this updates a file in system.
3) This is a hack, all the tests done had good results but be aware of this fact. Use at your own risk.

Thanks for the feedback guys, it is helpful and greatly appreciated. A few users have told me that the volume in-call still wasn't loud enough, so I cooked up a 'this goes to 11' version. Users should ONLY flash this if their headset isn't loud enough with the normal version and this should be considered very experimental. I am putting this out there due to demand but you should turn down your volume before flashing this second hack should you need it. You have been warned
Thanks to samsuck for testing this.

Confirmed for me.
I tested this for utkanos, on a fresh install of CM7 .4 and it has helped out my volumes all around. Incall audio, back speaker, and headset audio where all noticeably better. Bluetooth Audio seemed to remain the same if not a tad better. Give this a try and report back here if you experience the same.

I had the same results. In call volume is back to normal. Actually had to turn it down a notch for a change.

I tested many many iterations of this. I can say that the one that I currently have is awesome. back speaker is so loud i can hear the ringer in the other room. I can now talk on the phone with the ac on in my car as well. Great work!

Considering people on this forum have a problem reading (as evidenced by the same 5 questions asked 300 times in the CM7 thread) I decided to make it more noticeable, sorry for the inconvenience.

This worked great for me too. However, my screen lock sounds are now virtually non-existant. I can barely hear them and tried looking through other settings to try and make them louder, but can't seem to. I guess it fixed one problem and broke another.

Flashed through Recovery and now I'm getting a bootloop

Worked perfectly for me as well. I use Audio Manager to manage my volume levels and noticed that before flashing this the "in call" volume max was 5. After flashing the max is now 15. Huge improvement!

Is audio manager something available in the market? I am on gengeritis but would love to have something to boost my volume, specifically on speaker phone. It kills me to not be able to use it while in the car. If I can get much louder volume with this I might just have to wipe and flash CM7.

For some reason my in call audio only seems slightly louder. Everything else is definitely louder though. Is there something you can tweak to make in call volume louder?

Low Volume Issue Redux

Hi.
I know a number of people have been experiencing issues with the volume on playback of media on Nexus 7.
I am having similar issues. Tried to watch a movie (through Google Play app) on an airplane through headset and it was almost impossible to follow the dialogues.
Ive read about a number of solutions like Volume+ and Speaker Boost, but I dont believe any of them work with the latest 4.2.2 update, which I just received a couple of days ago.
I am going to keep searching but if anyone comes up with something that does work, please let me know and I will do the same. Its a major usability issue for me...

Interested in this too.

I'm waiting for Misledz to upload a new xlouder mod for 4.2.2 so I can test it, also his latest version for 4.2.1 works fairly well with 4.2.2

Thanks. I assume that requires root?
I'm hoping to find an easy volume+ like app to solve this. Bummer of a problem.

guys this one works with 4.2.2.
i tried it out last night and yeah it does work also it has option that it automatically switches itself off when you disconnect headphones/ext speakers so you dont damage your phones speaker

Boost headphone audio volume?

So for my job I'm in a company vehicle most of the time and listen to podcasts through an FM transmitter, but even with the volume turned all the way up on both the phone and stereo I have a hard time hearing it. I didn't have this problem on my old phones, are there any apps or anything to fix this? DSP manager didn't do any good, running CM10..

it is definitely worth it.

So im officially happy again with my nexus 4 bc the volume issue I have been experiencing is gone thanks to Franco kernel! For anyone experiencing this problem I would highly recommend flashing CM10 and Franco kernel as well as buying the Franco kernel updater on the app store which allows you to tweak volume/gain output settings. Not to mention the color and gamma correction settings have made this display insane. Plus all your other standard tweaks are available like cpu overclocking and undervolting if you're into that kind of thing. I hope this helps!

You could root your device and replace the stock kernel with for example, Faux's new kernel or Morfic's Trinity Kernel (Use the newest releases). They've both implemented the ability to increase volume with use of Faux's app in the play store (Paid app, helps the developer and allows you to adjust how much louder or quiet you want it so hey win-win). Faux's kernel that allows extra volume is V.009 and Morfic's is Trinity TF111 <-- can be found on Simm's G+ page (Not found on the Derkenel website). Faux's kernel can be found easily by clicking his links on his thread. Hope this helps

Yea so I thought boosting headphone volume would help but now I'm just getting noticeable distortion. What a f'n joke. LG really dropped the ball. I have no complaints otherwise, but this is a big issue and it's enough to make me consider moving on to another phone unfortunately

i thought i noticed a problem last weekend when i randomly thought to listen to music using headphones, but i forgot about it until today
my 'normal' headphones are at work, but i tried some others i had in the drawer and found that the headphones i use make a BIG difference to how loudly i can hear the music...the best of the bunch (VModa) triple the volume and quality of the sound when compared to a Sony pair which results in distorted sound and very low volume
i will try my Phillips headphones at work and see if they are as good as the VModa
i also tried Franco kernel volume boost and while it does increase the volume, it distorts the sounds a lot

What really annoys me is when I plug it into my aux port in my car. The sound is so low compared to my N7 it is rediculous

can this be a hardware issue as opposed to firmware/programing ?

If your phone is rooted you could give this a shot! Worked great for me!

Extremely low microphone volume during calls

Callers at the other end have difficulty hearing me, and I've never been able to find a solution. At first, I thought it's the ROM I was using, but after flashing the stock rooted ROM, same problem. I'm using the correct baseband. I'll do a test tomorrow, returning the phone to factory condition with the latest images from Google.
Has anybody gotten this problem and was able to fix it?
Update: Back to factory condition. Issue still isn't fixed.
Newer update: Called Google Play Store via this number 1-855-836-3987. They'll be sending a replacement.

While i am not stock, I did notice this one time with my phone... like extremely LOW to the point i was pressing the phone HARD against my ear to hear.
Solution? I went ahead and flashed Paranoid Android 3.56 and flash the Louder volume MOD in the themes and apps section. That fixed my issue, I also know that not all of you will want to root, and that this SUCKS. but try to restart the phone.
Just root guys, this phone was made for that

Oh actually the issue I'm talking about is different. The ear piece volume is fine, but whenever I talk to someone on the phone, they can barely hear me unless I use speaker phone. I was actually using Paranoid Android, and I was being told I can barely be heard. So I flashed back to factory to see if it was a ROM issue. Sadly it wasn't.. On factory ROM I can still barely be heard.

I tried using headsets and the results were pretty much better..

Wish I could help. Just had to RMA mine today. Completely stock, no mic. Works when plugged in, sometimes, but for the most part no audio. When it is plugged in, the wife says I sound like I'm trapped in a bottle lol echo and static.

I had the same problem when I was running full stock. It was really annoying to hear "I can't hear you..." every other sentence.
This won't help if you do not want to root or run custom ROMs but since I switched to PA 3.56 and Matr1x kernel the people on the other end of the line haven't been complaining. I imagine for whatever reason it was fixed would apply to most custom ROMs and Kernels. I'll actually test this out this weekend and edit my post afterwards.
Edit: I made some calls to friends on PA/Matr1x/Radio .48 and everything seemed fine. I flashed full stock and called back the same people and only one person said they heard a noticeable decrease in the quality. That person also knew I was testing different settings on my phone so maybe they were messing with me.

Bumping an old thread ...
So my gf started complaining that she could barely hear me when I was using my Klipsch S4A headphones to talk--while in the car and in a quiet room. I was on CM10.1 at the time and I had read complaints from others with the same/similar issue on other ROMs, even stock/unrooted. I chalked it up to 4.2 and hoped 4.3 would fix it.
It appears that isn't the case. I just sacrificed root so I could flash a clean install of 4.3 (new bootloader and radio included) hoping it would at least mean I could have normal conversations with my gf again while the devs cook up CM10.2. How bummed am I to find out that the issue persists. I just called her from my office with my headset on and she said I "still sound far away." This is really frustrating. I never had this issue on my GNex.

I wish someone comes up with a solution for this.. I was hoping 4.3 would solve this issue also. Some say its cause of the noise reduction, isn't there anyway we could disable noise reduction?! I remembered I had that option on CM10 my i9300 but not on nexus 4 build.. This is really an issue for me since i always use headset for phone calls.. I was wondering if the original Nexus 4 headset would solve this issue.

Hi guys,
i found 2 "solutions" which didnt work for Nexus 4:
1: typing *#*#3646633#*#* into the phone to enter the engineering mode. "Should" work for all Android, does not for Nexus 4
2: the App "MobileUncle". Does only work for MTK Chipsets (Nexus 4 has another one)
my question: is there something like the Engineering mode for the Nexus 4 ?

Same issue on Nexus 5
FYI, the nexus 5 has the low input volume gain when using 3.5mm headphones with inline mics. I don't understand what LGs problem is with 3.5mm connections or why it was never tested.
started a discussion on in here

Any solution yet???
I have the exact same Issue, Android 4.4.2 and the issue is not fixed weird that only Nexus 4 has it. I am like you trying to find an app or a way to work around the issue, tried to install other ROM using rom manager and phone when SLOW as heck so no idea how to fix it yet, loud speaker to every single call is not the way to go

[Q] Microphone Issues Like Nexus 5/Not working

Issue: LG G2 Microphone sounding muffled and like I'm meters away from it just like the recent issues on the Nexus 5.
Solutions: Speaker phone, headset w/mic and Bluetooth headset.
Tried but unsuccessful solutions: Change build.prop string for noise cancellation microphone to false. Gone to 4.2.2, 4.4.1, 4.4.2. Take Q-Tip and cleaned 3.5mm jack to see if dust or anything else was stuck. Left off for extended periods of time. Let sit in rice just in case of any moisture or condensation shorting mic.
Summary: Mic is muffled and have tried software solutions. I think it has to do with the noise cancellation mic having some kind of short or error. Speaker phone works like a charm but I don't want everyone hearing my conversations. I'm continually trying for a solution. Right now I'm going to be returning to full stock and seeing if that can help at all. I'd rather have a working phone than root honestly.... I've searched for days for solutions here and in the Nexus 5 forum because I understand that the LG G2 and Nexus 5 are a lot alike.
TLDR: Mic won't work and is muffled. Tried a lot of software fixes for G2 and Nexus 5. Any ideas guys?
Edit: Returned to stock updated to latest, love the new network logo too. Still now fix.

Wasn't the problem on nexus because there was some plastic stuck in the way?

I have the same issue and it's driving me crazy. I'm on Tmobile and have the D801 variant. I notice it's random like sometimes it will work fine and the other user can hear me loud. Other times they can barely hear me and I sound really quiet or far away and muffled. I am also told that there is some slight static sound when I'm talking as well.
Similarly I found out when on speakerphone everything becomes loud and clear to them. I'd love to find out what the cause of this is. Is this hardware or software related? Is this on all G2s or just the Tmobile version? Is my phone defective?

I'm on Sprint LS980. I've tried messing with audio settings but no success. I was thinking what if there was a way to make the phone think your on speaker but use the handset speaker instead of the actual speakers. I will keep trying and see if there isn't something. This is driving me mad.

BTW this phone is just as pretty on the inside as it is the outside.

Haha nicely done. How did you go ahead and open up the phone??
Well if there is no damage, then is it safe to say that this is a software issue? Does this happen to you all the time, or occasionally like mine?

Mine is constant. I removed the sim card slot (phone off of course) by poking the hole with one of my girlfriends earrings. Trust me this gets ghettoer. Then I used my phone charger adapter and stuck it ever so slightly in the open hole just enough to where I was only touching the case and not the hardware and turned it clockwise and then took my capital one credit card and put it in the now opened slit. Then followed along the outer side of my phone. The corners are tight don't be a hero and pull it off. Go all the way around with whatever you wanna use. There is a specific tool for it but I'm impatient.
Edit: Changed String
persist.audio.spkcall_2mic=OFF

As soon as you get a muted or muffled call start Voice Recorder and record your voice to see if the problem is with the microphone itself or just the call...

Get ES File Explorer press go to settings on the side, turn on root explorer, mount system as all rw hit okay or save. Go to /system/build.prop and open with ES note editor. In the top right press the 3 dot button and hit edit then scroll till you see the lines I listed about system audio. Some other settings are towards the end section.

I wonder if anyone of you guys have done the following:
As soon as you get a muted or muffled call start Voice Recorder and record your voice to see if the problem is with the microphone itself or just the call...
Cheers!

Thanks for the reply man. I've done multiple recordings and have no idea what the heck is going on. I've gone to every ROM avaliable to see if there were any ones that worked but none did so I have no clue. I'm probably just gonna diagnose it as hardware.
Edit: Well good news and bad news. Bad news is I've stabbed holes in the cover to my microphone. Good news is people can hear me a little better. Progress. Heck yeah.

So you're saying it was your case/cover that might have been the problem? You tried taking it off and making calls?
Hard for me to diagnose the problem on my end because like I said it's on an off for me. So not sure if any changes I make work, until it happens again. I'm going to try recording myself next time it happens as well.

I'm not going to say that that's a solution, like I said people can hear me a little better but it did make a difference. After work or later tonight I'm going to post audio files of what I sound like with the issue.

What most of the times happen to me is that the other caller hears me like if I was holding the phone far from my mouth, and other times they hear themselves like echo.
I can't reproduce the problem. It's totally random apparently. Maybe RAM memory related?

Maybe but not likely.
I doubt its software for me at first that seemed like the problem but I've COMPLETELY gone back to stock several times and there is still the issue. I'm going to take off my back tomorrow and do a thorough cleaning.
Edit
Sprint recently released their new network Spark to the LS980. And so I decided to go ahead and upgrade and up on doing so I found a custom ROM

No in order to have the latest update and still be able to use a custom recovery there's quite a tricky process you have to downgrade the aboot in order to be able to have a custom recovery. Doing this solved my microphone issue. I do not know why but I'm not complaining.

Glad to hear that solved your issue! Maybe it was a network issue all along? I think I figured out my issue to.
Embarrassed to say, but turns out it was more a user error. I realized when I had issues it was when I was lounging around. Turns out depending on what I was doing and how I was holding the phone it would kind of cover the secondary mic on the top of the phone which was causing the issue. Can't say I've had this issue on previous phones, but seems to affect this one.
