Speaker volume too low

I'm praying for someone who can solve my problem.
I LOVE my n1 but I dont hear it when Im outside home.
I surfed tens of forums searching for the solution and there is no dsp manager or lvh that has been able to solve the problem.
can someone help please?
p.s. i heard that maybe cyanogenmodded rom on gingerbr could solve the problem but i heard also that it uses dsp manager which wasnt working on my n1

Are you using a custom rom?
Most custom roms have an audio boost over stock. And maybe that DSP Manager would only work if the ROM supported it, so that could be why nothing has worked sof ar if you are on stock.

I think you're looking for the vibrate option

the audio boost is present in most custom ROMs such as cyanogen. so you really should have no problem if you use that. i know my volume has increased very well using cyanogen so i dont have any complaints anymore.
i do remember in cyan 5.0.8 that the audio hack was TOO loud and people complained, so the dev's reduced it to somewhere in the middle. perhaps you can go try that old ROM and see if that helps just as a test. if so maybe you could edit your kernel to match that old hack? might be a lot of work though...

i'm using one of the gingerbr roms from this forum
so you'r suggesting me to wait for the cyano's gingerbr?
p.s. today i bought an ideos for my old father ((( its LOUDER AND LOUDER than my n1 (((((

Unfortunately, you will have to live with crappy HTC speakers I am afraid. Rom's don't have a significant difference - I mean it will still sound crap :/, I don't know why HTC keep doing this.

dont say me so! please! i heard about people who solved and had to REDUCE volumes beacause the loudnes made the speaker clip instead!
i wanna clip my speakeeerrrrr!

Try enomthers Official ROM with the AudioMod kernel. I now run my incall volume at 50% where on the stock ROM I had it maxed all the time. The speaker phone is actually useful now as well. Besides this excellent perk its also a very fast and stable ROM with lots of features that I've found I can't do without. I ran a Gingerbread ROM for a week and was so happy when I switched back.

do you know if it's possible to flash only the audio hack? i'm just running stock cyanogen 6.1.1 and i would like to play around with the audio hack. can i flash it somehow, or does it have to be built into the ROM? and also, i have a build environment set up, so could i just play around with the kernel code for the hack, and compile my own kernel for testing it out?

Can anyone suggest any 'good' solution? kernel or otherwise to fix this $#@$# 'bug' of low in-call volume in Nexus One??
Would really appreciate all the help!

That's my problem from the beginning. Speaker is crap and there is nothing you can do. Tried different ROMs and nothing changed it.

Hello guys. I wanted to find out how to increase my skill lvl. Like I have quests tht require me to extract items like fruits, objects but when I try to extract, it says my skill lvl is too low. What can I do to increase? Plz help.

[Q] The Fascination with CyanogenMod

Hello. I have a Verizon Samsung Fascinate (i500) and yearn for a solution which gives the best of both worlds, that of VZ and mods.
I finally took the leap from Verizon stock and tried an alternate ROM/kernel. As my first choice, I elected to go with CM7. At first, I was astounded! I was tickled pink and could not have been happier I made the change. I still feel that way, at least mostly.
Where I am stuck is that for some reason, the in-call volume and speakerphone are ongoing issues. I know they've been mentioned prior, but I'm at a loss as to why they must exist. If I flash back to stock, these two issues go away. The speakerphone works perfectly as does the in-call volume. However, the battery life sucks, there's all the bloat, and my non-OEM battery won't charge in phone and I receive annoying notifications about it. The screen also won't turn itself off. Per these issues on stock, I feel stock is not a real option.
But the second I change ROM/kernels to CM7, PoolParty, KANG CM7, MIUI, Glitch, etc. these two issues come right back. It seems for all the things I've gained, I have to give up these key items.
Now I see the world advancing to CM9. I wonder... 1) will CM9 support my phone, and 2) if so, will it address and correct these problems? What I dislike about seeing CM9 coming along is that I feel CM7 was left with key issues. After all, while "smart", the device is a PHONE and I think these two things are directly related to the first and foremost purpose - making/receiving calls. Microsoft has this habit... relasing a new OS while the prior one continues to fall short of perfection.
Can anyone out there shed light on these issues and what resolve I might have with this phone?

speakerphone is still a issue but glitch v13.1 has the in-call audio fixed...CM9 is already available for our devices. Look up the ICS 4.0.3 mtd roms, they are basically variants of cm9.

I tried Glitch 13.1, but didn't notice (or realize) the in-call issue was fixed. Will try again.
But... cm9 for the Samsung Fascinate? 1) does it fix the speakerphone issue? and 2) if so, got a link for the fascinate because I am only finding i9000 and others (I have the SCH-i500).
UPDATE - I FOUND A LINK OR TWO. From what I can tell, ICS 4 for the Fascinate is a bit premature at this point, at least for me. I see no reason to flash a ROM which cannot "receive calls". That would really take down the use of my phone. Thanks for the info and I will keep an eye on and fingers crossed for this build over the next month or two.

Teamhacksung ICS build 6 has everything working...AOKP ICS and Gummy ICS have everything working but mms. You can find Teamhacksung at rootzwiki and the other 2 roms are in the dev section(or you can look my guide up, its a couple threads down from this...refer to section4). All of them still have issues with call audio being on blast off everytime you answer and I believe there still is a echo with the speakerphone...since these are mtd based roms just like cm7 some of the issues carried over... until source is released they wont be fixed.

there are 3 "close to fully working" ICS roms in the dev section now.. i'm running gummyfassy with no issues

I will point you another route. You say you want your phone to work perfectly. Like stock does.. And want awesome battery life.. And the ability to charge non OEM battery.. And some customizations..
The only roms that will do all the above are custom Touchwiz roms. With custom voodoo kernel of course.
hint: look for ROM and kernel posts with eh03 in them. That is the most recent Touchwiz release for the fascinate. And don't flash touchwiz from a Mtd ROM. Odin to stock first.

Custom touchwiz roms have there own issues aswell...random reboots is one and lag is another. Not that its a huge issue...i dont think there is one current rom out there that has some minor bug. The only rom i considered perfect was powerwashed ed05 froyo w/ pbj kernel. Everything flat out worked and had great battery life. Just was not as snappy as gingerbread but definately more reliable.

Im running Superclean 3 Milestone 1 or 2 i cant remember, with the kgb kernel, and universal adrenaline shot 12. my phone is as snappy and smooth as a mtd rom, and i have no issues. everything works, no lag, no reboots. everybody's phone responds differently to roms/kernels. i guess my phone likes this combo.

gummyfassy? what about the speakerphone? and how is battery life?

Never really use speakerphone so I dunno. The kgb kernel has an app that u can boost call levels if thats what ur concerned about

after reading your OP more thoroughly, the problem you are having is you are going from touchwiz to aosp. theres always going to be things that dont work right with aosp. you're skipping over the modified touchwiz roms and jumping right to aosp. if you want the best of both worlds, try superclean or tsm ressurection.

If you really want a rock solid rom with good performance and battery life go with superclean by nitsuj17 it has no comparison

Mtd speakerphone is crap
Touchwiz speakerphone is same as stock..
Sent from my SCH-I500 using xda premium

speakerphone is actually pretty important to me. I used it mostly while driving, or at least used to when it was working with stock. now that I've gone away from stock (since I've found that Verizon does NOT actually rule the world), this issue has been a slight quest to resolve.

@donluz - Superclean is perfect for you. It ran flawlessly for me, but I decided to try one of the ICS ROMS, which I love. But I too like to use speakerphone while driving, so back to Superclean for me...I think. I can't decide, this ICS is sweet.

Thank you all so much for your invaluable input! It has been quite helpful and did indeed address my questions.
I will keep fingers crossed that the MTD ROMs eventually fix the speakerphone. My main goal for modding was to rid the device of VZ crap and be able to use non-OEM batteries.
Sounds like Superclean is on my horizon. I may even try a custom kernel with it, who knows!

G2 stock Audio system

all i want to know is, flex roms has this compatibility with g2 stock audio system?
- Sonido Dolby Mobile
- Sonido 24 bits/192KHz
I know that all aosp/aospa/omni/etc got no compatibility with this, i dont know why,m but sound is really bad compare to stock... so, beside stock, flex rom based got this compatibility? (flex mobile does not, this is why i ask to you this...)

you know what? I got tired trying to find anything better than stock, yes STOCK, roms and.... nothing.... there's no non-stock rom based with this beatifull sound quality.... i recommend you pardus.... You'll have battery and performance.... if you stay on really stock official, try dorimanx he had update sound drivers and its really nice, like jb sound quality (wich was better than kk)
let me know if its clear!!!!!

I would stay on stock except the whole UI is so ugly...
I can't stand the G2 ui. I really hope that the 5.0 Update that LG gives us has the G3 UI so I can use stock without wanting to tear my eyes out. (No offense to anyone who likes the G2 UI). I tried to change the look of the UI but no matter what the G2 UI would still be somewhere (couldnt remove it all) and I'm a perfectionist so having the G2 UI in one place and the UI I substituted in other places looked really bad to me.. If there is a comprehensive theme for a stock based G2 ROM then I'd be happy to stay however most themes are only for the launcher. I was also going to go onto pardus but it still has the stock UI everywhere but the homescreen...
I'm using dorimanx and cloudyg3 and the sound quality is kinda worse than my old nexus 5 so I am really looking forward to the day LG updates our UI (inb4 they never do). (Using ViPER4ANDROID on both phones)

I don't know how to theme the systemui app but would like to have a lollipop look into settings and others.... The hs I replaced it with nova prime and it goes better.... But there's nothing like stock

Yeah i agree. Ill just wait till we get our official lollipop release and then ill have the great audio quality as well as the other benefits of stock based roms.

Cloudyg3 has this but i have no clue about the 24 bit audio
This effect sounds bad though so i dont use it. It distorts the sound and adds an echo type effect...

Look, I don't want anyone get mad, but V4A do nothing. It's like, for me, my opinion, dsp manager... The el from cm.... Again there's no aosp, aokp, etc roms that give us the image quality and audio quality like stock... I am really disappointed how all aosp roms are built on G2, cero quality......

[Q] [Q&A] [Discussion] HLTE Low Mic Gain

Hey there! I have a Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9005 (HLTEXX) and have noticed that since flashing a custom rom, (Carbon Rom) recorded video has very low audio.
I went back to stock 4.3 to test and recorded video sounded normal, the same as video recorded on my previous device, an i9300 running Carbon Rom.
I have tested on my HLTEXX with Temasek's Unofficial CM11, with and without Temasek kernel, Official CM11, with and without Temasek Kernel/ Lean Kernel and again with Carbon Rom with Temasek Kernel and Lean Kernel.
When using one of the mentioned kernels, I used Trickster Mod app to try and increase the Mic Gain for video camera.
With Temasek Kernel, as soon as I ticked to apply settings, they reverted back to default. With Lean Kernel, the values appeared to stick but as soon as video was recorded, the values had reverted back to default and recorded video was still quiet.
Does anyone have any ideas how to increase mic gain when recording video? Or is it simply a case of waiting for more kernel sources?
I would appreciate any input, bearing in mind I am just an enthusiast with a basic knowledge of flashing roms and customising my android devices!
Thanks in advance

Haha! No one seems to mention it and mostly my queries have gone unacknowledged, hence the post. But Carbon on G+ were very helpful, Matt went through some troubleshooting and let me test a modified media_profiles file, which increased the audio bit rate and made it stereo but the volume wasn't changed. The low volume is most noticeable when viewing the clips on a PC.

Out of interest, did you come from 4.3 or 4.4 stock rom? I'm wondering if the bootloader would make any difference, but don't know enough about that sort of thing to be sure. I'm considering testing a 4.3 custom rom, then perhaps flashing a stock 4.4 and rooting/ flashing Carbon again, but there's no going back then!

I'm on 4.4 I don't remember the sound on 4.3 to be honest

I have the same problem as you when I switched to the Resurrection Remix AOKP rom. It made me switch back to Jedi elite kk touchwiz rom until they fix it.

I don't seem to have that issue, but I'm in the uk with just 4g, no LTE (I thought they were the same thing!) But Bluetooth sometimes won't work for me, it's a bit temperamental.

Speaker volume on custom ROMs

I have tried three ROMs and all three had less speaker sound than stock. I don't want to revert back to stock because i like the customization and battery backup (I don't know if its placebo effect :silly.
I have seen that you can modify some RX file for Universal output gain,but I just wanted to know why is this happening? Many users have the same issue it seems
I am not bad mouthing custom ROMs. Devs make the roms for us for FREE which is AWSOME just curious as why the speaker output becomes low.
I am on crdriod with built-in kernel.
Any light on this matter would be nice.
P.s I am no pro so layman terms would be more than appreciated.
Thanks devs for making out devices more exciting:laugh:

One of the reason is, some ROMs come with increased RX_Digital volume.
And other ROMs come with same old '84' value.
Another reason is, some ROMs use different audio libs than others.
