I had read a little bit about DSPManager and the volume hack app but wanted to know if there was anything else out there that is confirmed to work? I tried out DSPManager and it just distorts my speaker and I was skeptical about purchasing the Volume hack because it seems like theres a lot of back and forth about whether it works for the evo or not.
Ava's v9 raises the max volume by about 25% and has a great all around rom
I have Myns 2.2 and am very satisfied with it...any others?

I don't know if I'm alone in this, but the headset volume for music on my EVO is really quiet-- I'd say it's probably 2/3rds of the max volume my ipod touch was capable of.
It seems that there are now several kernels out there that implement Toast's "Audio Boost" changes, which from what I gather came from Geniusdog, who got them from Pershoot in the Nexus One forums.
However, from the thread in which the changes were first introducted in the Nexus forums (and this post in particular) it seems the changes to the MAX_GAIN settings in q6audio.c apply on to IN-CALL volume on the speaker or headset.
After having tried a kernel with the Audio Boost hack, it seems that IN-CALL volume is higher, but there is no discernable volume gain for normal music or non-phone features, which seems to confirm what was stated in the tread above.
Are there any changes that can be made to the kernel to boost headset audio while not in a call? Or has anyone with one of the AUdio Boost kernels noticed higher headset volume outside of calls?
I'm really interested in this as well. I'm using OMJ 3.1 which has kinkclick's kernel #6 I believe. I got all happy about the supposed ability to raise the volume on the phone but haven't found a way to do so...and if the audio gain was implemented on the rom itself already then I don't notice the difference...

Yeah, like I said... I belive the only thing the audio boost in these kernels does is boost IN-CALL volume. I haven't seen anything definative yet, outside of what was posted in the Nexus One forum and my own observations.
Have you tried using headphones for a call and compare the max volume there versus music? I used the Rick Astley prank phone number, and found that being Rick Roll'd over the phone provided much more volume than the same (or any other) audio file on my phone....
Anyone? Can anyone with one of the various Audio Boost kernels (such as those based off of Toast's, or KingKlick's) confirm if they've noticed any boost in volume outside of phone calls?
i just left dk28 afterlife viper-rom now im on ec05 but when leaving i seemed my notification ringers went way unbearably lower i believe due to not having the viper-rom volume hack and that hack don't work on ec05 so i need to know how to edit the levels myself or someone can do it for me i tried the voodoo hack but it don't effect the notification ring levels i even asked the creator of the volume hack he chooses to ignore me, so can someone help out?
I looked all over and I think you are just going to have to turn on the vibrate also and hope that helps. I have not seen a fix for this at all. I do know when I first started flashing I did notice my volume being different when I flashed different roms thru my truck stereo but found voodoo which lets you control that. I would have thought if someone can make that happen they could change that also.

this some-what works it does increase the volume of the speaker but when i increase the volume to make the notitfication ringers higher the other ringers go higher as well and since those ringers are already loud it becomes distorted when the additional volume is added......i need to specifically increase the notification ringer volume.
There is absolutely no sound when I make a call or receive a call on my Evo 4g. The sound works fine on speaker and notifications and ringtones work as well. I recently rooted it using the revolutionary method and cant seem to figure out the issue. I have been using Mikg rom 2.61 but have tried flashing back to stock.
Any Ideas? sorry if this has been posted before
It's probably a hardware issue. I had an old slider phone that did the same thing, only worked on speaker.
You can unroot and take it in to Sprint and have them take a look at it if you can't find another solution.

well i'm confused because the sound works on everything else so it makes me think that it isn't a hardware issue. I however have no idea and would appreciate any ideas how to fix this
Did u make sure your incall volume was set in settings as well as thru the volume rocker I've found a few ROM's that had incall volume in the tweaks and even tho my volume rocker was up it was still really quiet until I turned the volume up in tweaks/settings

i recently had the same issue. when i answered the phone it went straight to speaker. i couldnt find any solution in the settings. before making a drastic decision like switching ROMS. i decided to shut off my phone. unplug the battery for a minute and rebooted. that was the soluiton. sometimes we as moders overlook the obvious.

By any chance, do you have your Bluetooth synched? It could be on its speaker could be what u should be listening too. Lol. It's worth a check.

The volume through the earpiece and the volume through the speaker are different speakers, unless I'm mistaken. Your notifications, ringtones, music, and putting it on speaker during a call all use the speaker on the back of the phone. The in-call volume is the only thing that uses the earpiece. Even if the two speakers are connected, it could still be a hardware issue.
There's an app that controls volume, and it has an option to turn the media volume lower than 0, which then routes the volume through the earpiece. I don't remember the name or where I saw it, but if you can find it then you could use it to diagnose.
If you run an RUU and the problem still persists, then it's most likely a hardware problem. At that point I would unroot and take it into Sprint for a replacement... unless you think you can replace it yourself.

I'm having the same issue, but it was working before I rooted it with revolutionary. After unrooting it stopped working back to stock. Why is that? Mind you I am now with metro pcs and the evo is new.
Do you guys have a car symbol in the notifaction bar?
If not, the ear speaker is easy and cheap to replace. Just search on eBay and you'll be able to find ones that give you a screwdriver to open the evo
Having trouble with AOSP? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1295702
Hi everyone,
I'm getting a nexus soon but while I was looking around in the forum,it seems that the gnex's speaker volume output is low.I know that volume+ can raise the volume but it's currently not supported in JB.I read that some kernels/ROMs do boost the volume but not as good as volume+,not to mention that I would hate restricting myself to specific ROMs/kernels just to have good volume on the speaker.The nexus is amazing phone due to the updates and developer support but low speaker volume is kinda like a deal breaker for me since I can miss a lot of notifications this way then I might just force myself to get the S3 I had an I9100G and volume was pretty nice on it.
PS:I hope my thread is not a spam/trouble/annoying thread but I had to post it because this determines which phone I'm getting so..yea

I didn't tried this phone on ICS so don't know if this is JB issue, but yes volume of external speaker is low compared to i9100 I had.
ROM I'm using now is androidme and I think he raised a little volume by default plus he have 2 mods to go when further, though I found the highest one distorted my music a little.
Right now I'm not using a mod on his newest And its fine. Okys this phone has a led notification that S2 didn't had so that helps too

Hi Mate,
New version of Volume+ works fine on Gnex Maguro with Jelly Bean. Volume+ works best with Bugless Beast JB ROM. As most other JB roms are based on CM, the sound starts crackling once you pump the volume to 10. I think any stock like AOSP rom is best paired with volume+.
Hope that helps you.
Cheers, Sumit

How did you get Volume+ to work with JB...On the devs website, this is what he says:
"It seems Google have completely removed the ability to attach the Audio Effects to the system output. I knew they were removing it but I assumed they would replace it with something better but it seems they removed it without offering an alternative. This means Volume+ no longer works for boosting Ringtones/Messages/E-mails, etc.
Will it ever work? No idea. Depends if there's any way around it." I guess it does work for music and such, just not system stuff...

I love my gnex with jellybean, but the low volume is a really a killer Ive missed a few calls because it and you can't listen to videos in a noisy environment at all, guess well have to hope that a Google update addresses it.
There are only two things I don't like about this phone...the speaker and the vibrate...they are both much lower than my RAZR was, but the rest of the phone more than makes up for it...
Maybe use a pair of headphone but it gets kinda annoying at long term...
However your sure not to miss a single notification

My Gnex has completely gone mute
Bought my GNex from Play Store in US and got it shipped to india.
Have been encountering problem with loudspeaker from Day 1.
My phone's rear speaker stops working when:
1. Headphone is plugged in and then taken out.
2. Data cable is plugged in
3. Data cable is plugged out
4. Sometimes just like that... (no reason)
How i made it work again:
1. Plug in the headphone into the jack.. pull out a couple of times
2. Plug in the data cable move it up-down n left-right... it works
3. Just tap near the back of the phone with ur finger (near the speaker)
Also the volume levels keep changing as u move the jack or the data cable inside the socket.
Read somewhere like the OS is assuming that the headphone is connected n all... not sure if that is true...
Tried Wired Head Phone routing apps. the speaker worked for a few minutes, that's all.
Now... the phone's loud speaker has gone totally mute. It just refuses to speak... wat ever i do.
yup my dad realize too..very low speaker volume
is it can solve without root?
or will be solve on android 4.2?
anyone knows
Alright, guys. I hate starting a new thread for this question, but searching gave me a ton of different results and nothing specific.
Background: My biggest issue with my GNex (as it is for lots of people) is the low volume on the external speaker. Let me clarify...I'm not looking to make music/media louder. This is purely to make the volume louder on phone calls. Part of the time my job involves driving around in my work truck and I nearly always use the speaker phone while on a call. Since JB was released, I can't seem to get any of the traditional mods/apps to work that used to work on ICS.
So, what I'm looking for is this. I'd like recommendations, based on first-hand knowledge/use, of what ROMs/kernel combinations would allow for the greatest speaker volume on phone calls. I've tried a few different ROMs (MinCo, ParanoidAndroid, Codename Android, etc) and a couple of different kernels (Franco and Trinity), but I haven't seemed to be able to find the right combination for tweaking the volume to be louder.
Any help you guys can give me would be greatly appreciated! :good:
In-ear bluetooth will solve the problem, i never found the speaker phone on any phone to be loud enough.
I had the exact same concern as the OP, I needed loud speaker vol for calls for work. I tried CNA 3.3 + Trinity kernel stable and the vol is loud enough for me to actually have to turn it down sometimes lol. I'm trying CM10 official nightly now with its default kernel and it has loud speaker vol too but the CNA + Trinity combo still takes the cake imo.
There's also other roms/kernels that implement the loud vol fix for e.g Bugless Beast if you want to stay as close to stock as possible for the rest of the rom/features, but I haven't tried that one yet, on most rom threads you can quickly scan the features list to see if its addressed.
Let me know if you find something else that I can try too
I'd like an app solution to this also/ i've tried lots of things that claim to work in the play store.
