Speakerphone volume

Is there any Android hack to up the volume of the speaker? I have a hard time hearing it in my car or around anyone.

I was wondering the same thing. I can hardly hear anyone. While we're at it, it'd be nice to boost the headphone jack volume as well.

You can use mixzing player or poweramp to make the volume louder playing music, now for calls I don't know.

Use DSPManager.

Anyone know of any presets available for DSPManager? Will it work with winamp or the stock player?

This increases the speakerphone volume for calls? I tried it and it seemed to do nothing unless I did something wrong.

I don't think it effects speakerphone, just music played. Poweramp has a nice EQ with a few presets and you can always make it "louder" by cranking the preamp. Doubtful that your speaker sitch can handle the preamp as it distorts clarity, but it can make music louder. PreAmp is a ****ty player for day to day though cuz navigating to artists involves several touches. I guess I can just write down the levels of my custom preset in PowerAmp and apply those to DSPS

Yeah, the low speaker volume bugs me, but apparently they can here me just clearly, can talk less than average volume (why couldn't it be like that for the receiving end too? :/)
Wish there was a fix OP, we'll just have to wait.

Yea I have to say I miss my TP2 and all those cab files lol thanks for the responses.
Dsp did nothing for me either. Guess its waiting time. Would anyone know where the volume is controled? Is it an android or kernel variable?

Anyone find out anything new about this? DSPManager does help some. But it would really be nice to be able to turn up the speaker volume louder.

Yeah speaker is way too low

Dont use any app... if your on sence you can just turn on hearing aid mode. gives you all kinds of range. Now if your on aosp ( cm7 ) use dsp manager or something.

Never thought of that, it seems to make a little difference, not a ton but a little. Now if someone can find a way to remove the icon

Speaker Volume too low

Anyone else think the volume of the external speaker is too low. I litterally struggle to have a speakphone conversation and watching media is disappointing.
Could it just be my phone hardware and needs to be exchanged for a new unit?

I have the same problem. The speaker volume is quite low, especially compared to the headphone volume.

Yes, very low. That has been a little disappointment to me.

Same for me. Do the last update solve this problem?

Solution!
Hey!
Cut a long story short, I Bought my neuxs s and was very disappointed with the volume level especially on the headset.
I looked round for 2 weeks for a solution, found one!
INSTALL A KERNEL WHICH SUPPORTS VOODOO SOUND CONTROL!
The sound volume is now VERY loud!
Here is a link to a hybrid kernel, half stock, half Cyanogenmod with Voodoo sound & colour control! its outta this world

Voodoo requires a custom kernel, but it doesn't increase the volume anyway.
But I think it's loud enough, and who watches a movie on their phone?

[MOD REQUEST]Volume Increase Mod/Fix

I been searching non stop and asking questions everywhere without getting a step forward, and I know this isn't the right place and way to go about it, but it needed to be done. We need a flashable volume mod. Unfortunitly my rooted N7, is really my wife's N7. So I have to keep it relatively stock. I noticed volume increase app's dont work, and there hasn't been an xloud mod yet. Truth is we NEED a fix to make it louder. PLEASE help with a mod/fix! I can guarantee it'll bring much happiness to a lot of people, and a lot of praise to the dev who makes it happen. I have see a few roms that have volume mods. Problem is I can't run a themed out, badass Rom cause then my wife will realize I did mod hers and she'll flip.....and blame every little thing that goes wrong on me.

I use paid app volume+
The improvement in audio levels is very obvious
Some said this app doesn't work on jellybean but I beg to differ

You might have a defective unit. Someone else was complaining about their speaker volume being quiet even at max volume, but mine gets fairly loud. I don't know if you're looking for ear-splitting volume though.

I think peoples' opinions of the volume are relative. For example, in a quiet environment, mine seems loud. In a room with a lot of white noise (window AC, fan even), it seems to get drowned out.

Would volume+ help raise the volume with head phones/head phone jack? I don't care about the speaker volume, but I recently took a flight on a small plane sitting next to the engines and could barely hear my ear buds at max volume.

It's not defective. It could just use a little boost. My EVO 3d needed the same treatment, xloud mod plus volume+ app was the perfect combo. Basically like u called it, seems ok most of the time but gets drowned out easily. Volume+ has a headphone and Bluetooth boost....if the app really works on JB.

[Q] Music volume is so low!!! Help?

So from November 2012 when I got my phone I have tried any thing came to my mind to solve this problem but nothing worked for me!!!
I'm very sensitive about music quality and I really can't stand this anymore!!! My volume is very low even when I crank it to the max!!! I mostly use my Dr Dre Studio headphones and sometimes my Beats Tours... I've tried several other headphones and didn't get any result
When I connect my Studio headphones to my laptop and I listen to the same track that I have on my phone it's super load like if I turn up the volume to the max I really go deaf!!! So I'm pretty sure it's not from my headphones... I know that the phone's amplifier is not as powerful as my laptop but still ... I think it is not normal, I also notice some other people have the same problem as me!!!
So these are the things I have tried already:
1. Using other mp3 player apps such as PlayerPro, PowerAMP, Winamp and .... none of them made any difference and the equalizer simply just mess up the quality of the track...
2. I have used all the mods like Beats Xlouder and such and they also just lowered the quality
3. All of my tracks are MP3 320kbps/flac audio format... still I tried to increase the audio using Audacity by amplifying the dB... It helped but not really noticeable.
Currently I don't have root access but if something can really help I'd be willing to root my device... like kernel or something! Please help

You'll need an HTC phone with Beats Audio to go along with your Beats headphones.

Please tell me you're being sarcastic...
Well...
A ) There's something wrong with your ear.
or
B ) You have a defective unit. My headphones are waaaayyyy too loud even at half volume. If it's really that bad, ask for an exchange unit. If you're adventurous, root and custom rom it. Might see a change.

Google Nexus 4 Volume low you can probably see people having the same problem I you think I'm lying
If you think you can help please give me a solution to my problem...

Imma be as descriptive as possible with my fix.
ROOT YOUR PHONE!
1. Install Trinity kernel. (Its the only kernel I've gotten this to work with)
2. Flash Misledz audio mod, keep up with the latest ones as in my opinion she really knows what she's doing and the quality gets better and better.
3. Once the mod is installed Titanium Backup / Rom Toolbox remove the 4 system apps installed by Misledz audio mod.
-Awesome beats, -Noozy Player, -Noozxoide, -Dolby Digital App.
4. Reboot wipe cache / dalvik in recovery, reboot.
5. Go to the market and download the latest Noozxoide, set up to your musical preference.
Now you can omit some parts such as keeping 3 of the apps, but I find awesome beats not to work at all, the libs in the mod does though. That's why I remove the apps. I listen to a lot of bass heavy music (rap / old school hip-hop). This method is a night and day difference in loudness and audio quality.
I genuinely hope this helps everyone.:good:

dude Awesome beats is the worst ... plus I'm not rooted any more
but I heard there is a kernel that increases the volume

Not awesome beats. Misleadz audio mod. Trinity kernel makes your audio louder naturally. With the audio mod trust me you'd give me an e-hug in gratitude (no homo). I had the same problem. This method I posted works.

I give it try thanks a lot

Haha told ya! :laugh:

What type of earphones or headphones do you use anyway? I'm using the V-Moda LP2's and they sound fantastic. They do need an amp to get the total feel but with Poweramp's equalizer, I have been pretty impressed.

[Q] Speaker (both) aren't very loud... Anyone?

So, I've noticed that my in-call volume (which I've maxed) isn't very loud.
Also, the ringer/notifications aren't very loud either...
I moved into this N4 a couple days ago from an Atrix 2. Is it just that my A2 was a lot louder?
I'm using the Paranoid Android ROM. Is there a way to tweak both volumes in this ROM or somehow else?

Try fauxes kernel and his app on the playstore

Wow. Most helpful comment on the forums. Ever.
Can I please get someone else to chime in?
Maybe some other people that have a N4 that have good sound stock, or others that think its really quiet?

Personally, the speaker is fine. It's quite loud. Probably the speaker and notification ring is louder on the Atrix 2 and you were so used to it.
If you want it louder you're going to have to switch kernels.

Oh well, I guess I'll just live with it then. I will eventually get used to it I'm sure. I have to use speaker phone a lot because I can't hear people with the ear speaker.
Was thinking about a bluetooth ... but I tend to hate those...
