Ringer Volume OK, System Sound NOT OK

I'm on 4.0.1, build ITL41F . My ringer volume/notification volume is ok. But my system sound (screen clicks, keyboard clicks, lock/unlock clicks) can barely be heard. I've tried 3rd party sound managers and increased system sound to the max, but still can hardly hear the sounds. Anyone with the same problem or know of a fix ?

I use the external speaker to listen to podcasts while doing work around the house... I swear the GN's speaker is half the volume of the Droid's.
It's a hardware thing. The speaker on all Samsung phones are weak.

I dont think thats true. The sgs2 has an extremely loud speaker.

My SGS2 too has very loud speakers. So i'm still having this system sound volume problem with my GN. Again, ringer/notification is ok, just system sound clicks..etc..

I dont know what volume managers youve used before, but you need to root and use volume+ to set it to +8 or +9

You don't need root for volume +

I think the system sounds are meant to be faint in ICS,It makes sense,I wouldn't want the clicks & what not to be any louder although having control over the system sound would be nice so if you did want it louder that would be possible

Is there any app that would allow an un-rooted gnex to have louder volume over a wired headset for phone calls?

Very very very simple solution. Get the free Equalizer app from the market. Problem solved.

No you do not! You need root only to modify on call volume which on this phone is fine to begin with.

Equilizer app does increase the system volume ! Thx !

I looked thru the kernel code and could not find any audio driver to tweak the audio levels. On the nexus one you could tweak value in the kernel to boost all volumes. No such luck with this kernel though.
I'll stick with equalizer app for now I guess. I'll try volume+ too.

low in call volume

is there anyway of increasing the in call volume ..i'm hard of hearing and find the current volume to low..i've tried all the stock roms and now i'm on K.P.'s v2 optimised rom and volume+ app and they are all the same..
my phone is rooted so is there an app or hack that will let me hear the other person ..

Some say GB 2.3.6 improve the sound volume and quality...

Try this optimized ROM

@lion, tried them all as stated in original post but thanks for the info..
@rio, if your rom didnt have the words 'rio' and 'blacknote' on the UI them maybe but what makes yours better?

I have a low volume only in some calls, the other is strong and clear. It's as if the phone, sometimes, forget your volume settings and we must tap the volume keys for to remind it. I have fw XXKLA2 rooted and it's the same as XXKK1.

i wonder if theres a service code available like the i9000 has that you up the volume..

I used 2.3.6 I8150DXKL1 DXLA2, rooted.
Then installed volume+ (free on market) set to volume level +4, afterwards installed volume+ v1.7.4.1 (download from 4shared) set to volume level +15.
Yes, feel better

thanks mate ,i'll try that..

But Volume+ doesn't allow you to adjust the volume of the earpiece capsule. The "speaker" refers to the external speaker.

this app has 3 options , speaker,headset and bluetooth so the 'earpiece' isnt adjustable...
any other ideas anyone..

maybe amplified earphones?

well i've tried the app and it doesnt seem to do anything on my phone , the in call volume is still low...
surely someone knows the service code hack so i can adjust the volume ...
[btw the i9000 code does not work]

update...
i've tried a 2.3.5 rom and all the 2.3.6 roms and all the de-toxed roms and still the in call volume is low..tried all the apps on the market with no change..
can anyone help with a code or a method of increasing the volume otherwise my 'w' will have to be sold and an iphone brought..

You can try this, it now supports in call volume , its stil experimental, but it wont brick your phone

And ofcourse take the Dropbox version its free

thanks gerard ,i'll try it..

app installed and not a lot of difference...i'm just wondering if when i had the phone unlocked [by a market stall] that this unlocking made the ear speaker low in volume, any thoughts?

does anyone have an update for this problem? I am still having the low in call volumes. are there any dialer codes for this phone to tinker the system settings?

in call volume too low

in call volume too low how to increase ??

+1
I find it's too low as well. Even on highest volume I've frequently got trouble hearing what ppl are saying... Especially in noisy environments such as on public transport! I'm on InsertCoin 6.1.

I have not yet found an app to boost the volume.
I must use a headset to talk if I want to hear anyone while in a public or noisy place.

i have to have my in call volume on 50% or its too loud, 100% is just a bit quieter than loud speaker.

Maybe that's because of your use of DSP Manager. My ear piece is very weak. It's like listening through a train engineer's wool sock soaked in kerosene and hog fat.

There is no app available that can boost the in-call volume.
I believe the only way that an in-call volume modification can be achieved is by making the necessary changes in the source and building your own kernel. I seem to remember this was done on the Nexus One a while back.

I have my in call volume set at 25% while not in crowded places. While clubbing i use cca 50%, anything more hurts me xD
BTW, thats on stock, 1.29, not rooted, no DSP

My HOX is loud enaugh.
But I faced the same issue when I had the Sensation. Two solutions existed:
1) Non-Rooted, use Volume+, Volume Boost, Louder Volume Hack or Equalizer
2) Rooted, use this guide.

Unfortunately, the apps you listed do not work for increasing the in call volume, apart from Louder Volume Hack but it's very outdated and won't work on the One X (I made it for the original T-Mobile G1 and Google removed the files that it changed when they released the Nexus One).
As it stands, there's no app available that can boost the in call volume, not to my knowledge anyway.

having the same problem too

I have the exact same problem, and it appeared after I rooted and started flashing ROMs, wasn't the case with the stock ROM.
Currently using LeeDroid

Me too...

Thank god i've found more people with this "feature". I've noticed that after flashing LeeDroid 6.4.0. Never noticed that before rooting.

Yeah call volume does suck

I'm also on LeeDroid 6.4

Having the exact same issue and me too using leedroid 6.4.0
I can't remember weather it was like this before I flashed this rom.

WTF? My in call volume is way too loud. I have to keep the one X 2-3 cm away from my ear sometimes
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

I think this is more popular issue than we think. I got that problem too on ARHD 7.1.0, hope its only software problem not hardware.
Sometimes sound incall is very good, clear, loud, but mostly its sux, especially when there is more sounds around (streets etc).

Nope..its too loud for me..so I have kept it on half..I am on ARHD 7.1 ..

So its very strange, maybe should try to give back on warranty ?

ring volume / Volume +

I find the ring volume a bit too low, and i tried with Volume + app
When i test some music from the phone, it sounds really loud ( nice ) but when i receive a call, same song or ringtone i tried from the phone, isn´t the same, it´s lower the volume.
Is there a way to fix that ? I really want the ringer volume louder.
Thank you

If you have dsp manager or any other sound mods installed on your device you can try to disable them and only run volume +.

I did already but still same situation.
It should ring at the same volume, for music listening from the sd card and for the incoming calls / ring volume ?
Maybe Volume + doesen´t work for ring volume

Volume+ is for gingerbread not for jb. If you are rooted flash a custom kernel or flash a sound mod

Sorry, i thought Volume + is for JB too
But it sounds louder when i listening music, with Volume + enabled. And i thought, it should work for incoming calls, too
What would you recommend, instead Volume + ?

Stock Audio too low?

Hi
is possible mod the audio on this phone the stock is too low?
any help

used XPOSED INSTALLER and install the XVolume30 Module.
or BUY Volume+ in the playstore. Can boost your speakerphone and even earpiece volume by A LOT (meaning you can phuck up your phone speaker hardware if you get carried away)...I had to use it in my car just today..and it works on JB still.
