Extremely low keypress sound

Even with the media volume to the max, my ear has to literally be on the speaker to hear the slightlest sound from the keyboard. This must be a bug, right?

Key press sounds are tied to phone ringer/notification volume, nit media volume.

With all volumes to the max, the keyboard is still silent

bump....any solutions
Never mind, downloaded audioguru, turned up system sounds now it's more audible. The system volume can't be set more to the minimum by default.

So you have to download a 3rd party app to make a $700 phone work correctly ?

No, but if you want to have your key tones louder it helps. Brand new phone, brand new OS...bound to be some bugs.
But yeah, the phone is useless without loud key tones.

thanks for this.. thought I was losing my marbles

I've had concerns about the volume on this device since i got it last week.
All tones and ringers are ridiculously low.
I tried the suggested audioguru app and have noticed a slight increase in ringer volume but thats about all.
Im surprised the forums are not flooded with posts about the low volume on the nexus.

Volume+ (Sound Boost)

Speaker volume is too quiet on galaxy nexus?
Fyi..
Volume+ works great and boosts the audio no probs. Just go up a level at a time.

Make sure you are getting Volume+ and not Volume Control +

Do you have to be rooted for Volume+ to work?
i tried to use that on my transformer and it never worked.

Hang on a second...
Are you talking about "Volume+ Free" or "Volume++"? Two different apps by 2 different devs.

anyone found one that works?

This one works for me.
Audio Manager also works for me and was the first application I used. I found that system volume was at level 2 out of 7 and it was almost as if the system volume setting is hidden within ICS actual settings.
However, even after setting it to 7/7; it still wasn't loud enough. This is why I installed Volume+ as above.

cheers.. ill give them a go

Will using one of these apps to boost the volume eventually damage the speakers? Or why is installing an app for this necessary?
The default maximum volume on the speakers is ridiculously low.
I tried Volume+ Free. This free version limits the boost to +4 instead of the max +7, but +4 seems to make a huge difference already. And it seems to work even though the installer says it only works on Android 2.3.

Do we need root for this volume apps?

Thanks for this.
I've had my GN for about 3 hours now and the ring tone volume was the very first thing I tried out, just to see just how loud it was. It was pretty low. I promptly purchased this app and it has brought up the volume to a more than acceptable level. The phone is actually loud now.
I currently have it set to 9 in volume+. I can't imagine going all the way up to 15 as it's loud enough. What did you raise yours to?
Great App! Worth the money.

Ditto on Volume+...so much louder!

I had to get the paid version because it seemed like the free one didn't make any noticeable effect in the ringtone volume for me on my GNexus. I've currently got it set at 9 on Volume+ and that finally seems to have made it loud enough for me (but I still have to crank the phone's volume almost to the max to have it loud enough to hear in noisy areas).

Doesn't do anything for me. Tried the paid version turned all the way up +15, makes no difference in volume...

+1. No difference.

Ive noticed when you crank it past 9 it doesn't work, maybe a safety feature to ensure your speaker doesn't blow.. try it on 8 and 9

Speaker volume is one of the things I am nervous about on the Nexus, I do use my phone as a alarm clock and speakerphone during conference calls. I've seen quite a few reviews where the reviewer thought the speaker was too quiet. At least it's comforting to know the volume can be boosted to an acceptable level for some people using software. I wonder if the VZW version will offer any improvements in this area.

It's a quirky little App. You have to keep trying it. There were a couple times where it stopped working for me, then when I came back later on it was working again.
Here's what to do, open up a song in your music player so you have something playing in the background. Then open up Volume+ & enable speaker modifications. Now try changing the volume levels. Go from like 3 to 8, if it's working you will notice a change instantly. If it doesn't work, try rebooting and/or un/re-installing and trying again. As others have said, I can set the volume all the way up to 10 maybe even 11, but any higher and nothing will happen. So don't over do it and hit 15 cause you won't notice any difference.
Honestly, without this app this phone would have been close to deal break territory for me.

How to use Volume+ to fix notifications?

I installed the paid version but not to sure on how to use it and I don't want to screw anything up. Can this app fix the loudness of my notifications, I miss texts and calls too much. Ringtones and alarms are low too. Desperate for a fix. I'm really trying to fix this phone, don't want to swap it for a rezound just yet. I apologize if this had been answerd already I can't seem to find any search results on tapatalk.
Thanks ahead of time...

So once I open the app up I just enter in your setting and I'm good to go? That should fix all my sounds issues? Notifications, etc. I have no clue what each option is.

When you first open the app there are some instructions. Follow them closely. You have to first set the increment to 1+ and then use your volume rocker to boost the sound. Then after that you can raise it to 8+. I am set at 8+ and 1+ for bass like the guy above.

[Q][SOLVED] No Touch Sounds or Keyboard Sounds

Has anyone else experienced issues with system sounds not playing? My Nexus does not play any touch sounds or keyboard sounds, when both of those options are definitely checked. I've rebooted, factory restored, tried a new ROM, and I get no sounds.
I do have the famed "clicking" sound (of the speaker engaging and disengaging) as though it's attempting to play, if I listen closely.
Using the Verizon Galaxy Nexus with both stock 4.0.2 and an AOSP build of 4.0.3.
EDIT: Using Volume Control + to edit the System Volume from 2 to 7 fixed the problem.

Go to settings settings > sound > volume. Make sure your music, video, games, and other media slider isn't muted.

Same problem here. I thought that maybe it was a 4.0.1 issue... wonder if it is hw related?

Have you tried connecting headphones to see if you hear anything? Maybe something got the sensor in the jack stuck?

Thanks for all the quick replies! I just had a brainstorm after posting and figured out what the problem is. I don't have an answer for HOW it happened, but there seems to be a System Volume that is NOT user-modifiable. I just downloaded Volume Control +, and changed the System Volume from 2 to 6. I can definitely hear it now!

Strange! Well at least you got it working!

Is there any way to increase the volume of the touch sounds?

Do you mean past volume level 7? Probably not. You could always pull the sound effects from /system/media/ui and amplify them in an audio program such as Audacity, then push them back.

Thank you, I though about it too, but then I decided against it because I may feel I want to go back to a lower volume and it would be a pain in the neck to move files back and forth.
The only way I could get them a little louder is by using DSP or similar.

True, it would. Then again, to lower the volume, you could then just modify the system volume lower rather than moving the old files back.

thanks
Thanks this thread helped me get keyboard sound after flashing custom rom, there was no setting adjust system volume in setting.
3rd party apps like volume plus did the trick.
:good:

Same problem here on my xperia play ! o.o
Don't know how happened, not flashing roms or appling any new tweak from 2 months or more..
Just the sound disappered.. =S
Solved with volume control + !

anyone been able to raise IN CALL volume?

so volume+ works great for me. i have it at +8 and sometimes up to +10 when i'm in the car, and i can hear the notifications just fine.
but the in call volume, even on the speaker, is still really low to the point where if i'm on the highway i can't hear someone even if they're on speaker unless i hold it to my ears.
probably going to get a bluetooth speaker for my car soon, but until then i want to just boost it.
i know volume+ has this boost incall volume by editing the build.prop but i have no idea what to do, and obviously don't want to screw anything up. so has anyone done that, or does anyone have another way of boosting the in call volume for both speakerphone and regular speaker.

Extremely interested in this myself.
I tried doing it with volume+ but it only ended up making it worse.
If anyone has done it successfully, please post how.

What did you set yours to? The choices are 0 - 100.

bumping this to hopefully get an answer.

bumping this again because i'd really love to actually be able to hear people when i'm not in a quiet room.

Did you try volume+ beta? It is a lot better than the one on the market. You can find it in the themes and apps section.
