Volume+ (Sound Boost) temp anecdote for low speaker volume issue!!

The exact search term is " Volume+ (Sound Boost) " in the android market . You can copy & paste that into the android market search field minus the quotation marks. The free version doesn't have sound boost in it's title and the volume level won't go up high enough. In preferences in the app, you need to be able to select somewhere between 8-10. Too low, nothing and too high doesn't work either.
Very important, when you download the app for the first time, there is quick one time visual tutorial. Do everything exactly what it says to do, if not, won't work. If you can take screen shots of the directions, your better off. After that one time, you would have to un—install and than re—install to see it again. It only comes up right after the initial install.
The only variance is your volume number in the preferences . Test, if it's working, by listening to the preset ring tones in the system settings of the phone.
I was afraid, that I might of had to exchange the phone because the speaker volume was so bad. This app makes a significant difference.

You can get the full version for free from the developers site which has a link in the Market page of the lite version.
I keep mine set on 10 and it gives me the perfect volume.
It's the way the phone should have come.....
I am surprised samsung or google have not rectified this with the last 2 ota updates.

10 makes a difference but isn't there a chance of blowing the speaker by doing this or are we safe?

10 was REALLY loud with my text tones with vol on max. Im at 8 now and the speaker sounds loud but not poppy or distorted. Im going to try the earpiece vol next

Help!
By any chance do you remember the steps? I just bought the app but accidently pressed the back button on the tutorial part. Is there anyway to go back to it?

FYI there is an updated version at developers site 1.8.0.6 that adds ability to view the tutorial on demand.

I bought V+ and it helped with some of the settings, but not all. I rooted the phone as well. I might be returning it. It is a big disappointment.

Has anyone tried this with a bluetooth headset? I tried and am not getting any results. Tried "Headset" and tried "Bluetooth" settings, separately and together.

Do you do that natively with a bluetooth head unit. I have a car with bluetooth head unit and when I make a call and I'm using Nav at the same time it plays the Nav through the speakers....otherwise it doesn't.
Wondering if I can do likewise so any information would be greatly received.
Thanks

Galaxy S3 - iPhone 5 Headset?

Hi. I want to know how to get the iphone 5 headset to work on my galaxy s3? I'm aware the volume control will never work but assumed everything else does. Some have said they have managed to get it working on their galaxy s3 either through specific software or ROM changes?
Right now I can make calls to other with the headset working perfectly, but when I receive calls from others I cannot hear them nor can they hear me. So the problem only occurs when I RECEIVE calls. The mic is really important to me.
Any help would be really appreciated.

OK. I've narrowed down the problem. The headset stops working when I press the middle button to receive calls. In other words, if I answer a call using the actual phone, the headset works fine. If I do press the middle button to receive a call, I can no longer hear the other person nor can they hear me through the headset.
Does anyone use the iphone 5 headset with the galaxy s3? Does the headset work for you?

The workaround I'm using now is to have auto-answering enabled while a headset is connected. Now i'm trying to find away to reject calls with a single click but after trying various apps I've not been able to do so.

Bluetooth issues

So in my line of work, I use bluetooth all day long for 10 hours. I have had the issue of Android not responding when I press the Call button on my LG Tone. It takes more than its fair share of pressing before the phone responds. So I went ahead and applied the Google Now service through the Bluetooth Launch app because I hate S Voice. Still I have the problem. I need a phone that will respond every time I press the Call Button. I end up frustrated because I have the same problem on every phone I use other than an iPhone. I don't want to make the switch unless I have to.
I have noticed that if I turn off the Bluetooth set and turn it back on, it recognizes the first two presses and then its a dice roll all over again. So is there any way of making sure it constantly works when I press the Call Button on the headset or not?
Sucks on the L9, Galaxy Nexus, S3 and S4. I am using the LG Tone headset.

LG Tone sucks on all those phones? Hmmm...sounds like you need to try a different headset.

I agree. I've had cheap headsets and expensive ones. There really is a difference (sometimes) so I would definitely try another headset.

Bluetooth calls

Is anyone having a problem with their bluetooth where it will connect and work just fine playing music, but doesn't work good when talking on the phone? I am running stock rooted rom with EX kernal if that helps. Music plays flawlessly, but calls sound like there is bad static, almost like the call is about to drop, but I have full service and it does it everytime. It didn't do this when I first got it and I'm wondering if anyone knows a fix for this.

I am mostly using bluetooth headset for calls and have not had any issues with the call quality.
1) When via bluetooth the quality of a call is bad, then turning it off during call, makes the sound better?
2) What is your carrier?
3) Do you have VoLTE enabled or as soon as you start a call, the LTE drops to H/3G?

1. Yes. If I switch it over to the phone itself the quality gets better.
2. Sprint
3. I don't have it enabled. How would I do that?

I have VoLTE, but I am on T-Mobile. For the past couple of days I have been hearing some noise while talking on the phone, but it was there regardless of using bluetooth headset or not. Maybe T-Mobile was doing something to network, but now the noise is gone. Don't know if Sprint has that. Do you have in settings>more>cellular - menu item/switch named "Enhanced 4G LTE..."?

You may have to get a new Bluetooth device I had this issue with the lg tone hbs- 730 on my n5x then it died so I had to buy a new one and I bought the lg tone hbs-800 and its just fine.also u may want to try and reset your Bluetooth device that's solved this issue for me in th e past

I've used Bluetooth calling mainly with my car and it's been fine. A couple calls through a Bluetooth workout ear buds was okay.

Android Wear 1.4 Viber voice call

Another big problem with voice call in 1.4 release. In I enable voice call on watch, I can't make voice call with Viber, because sound always goes through watch. Only i can't change to phone loud speaker, but not for ear-speaker. I don't know does other app's like skype has same problem, but I think can.

I'm not sure if it's the same thing but what I find to be frustrating is with the gear 2 I could go back and forth. But with this it's one or the other. If I initiate the call with the watch it disconnects the bluetooth call audio on my phone and then I have to manually reconnect them. but if I do this I can't have the watch answer an incoming call (when I answer using the watch it is picked up on the phone only)'
I guess what I'm saying is that with the gear 2 I can have bluetooth call audio connected to both the watch and the phone at the same time (maybe because watch and phone were both samsung). With this bluetooth audio can connect to only one device at a time..
