I drive a truck and can barely hear the ringer on this phone when going down the road. It's not just because of the ambient noise level. Never had a problem hearing my Droid Charge or even the orig Moto Droid before it. Any way to get a boost in the ringer volume on this phone? Running latest GummyNex ROM. I was excited when I saw DPS Manager but it has no effect on the ringer.
It is the ONLY downside I have with this phone, absolutely love it.
Volume + ...it's been posted everywhere try it out
Thanx Muchly !! Well worth $1.62 !! The free version had no effect, had to have access to the EQ

hello everybody,
Sorry if this has been already discussed, I've searched the forum but couldn't find any answer!
My ring volume is low, sometimes the vibration makes louder "noise" than the ring itself, no matter what ringtone I set. All the time the ring volume is set to maxim and I try to use only built in tones.
Any ideea how to increase the volume? Does the speaker tweak work also for this (the Audio3 para file)?
Many thanks,
Radu
my speaker is loud as ****!!! are you sure you don't have a bad speaker? time for a warranty exchange?
I agree. It does sound like you have a bad speaker. On max volume, my device is quite deafening (I usually set it down a notch).
Try playing a song at max volume without headset connected so that it'll play through the rear speakers. If the volume is satisfactory, then it's probably a software fault somewhere (ring volume vs device volume?). If the volume is still soft, then you've got a bad speaker.
Thanks
Thank you for your answers.
I did some test and I really hope it's not a speaker problem. During a phone call, on speaker, I could listen very well outside, in a crowded & noisy space. Only the ring tones seems to be lower volume, at least for my ears.
ring
i am hv
aving the same problem. mine worked great till the phone froze up and then it reset it self, and all my info was gone and the ring volume was weak.
will keep looking but thinking i will have to reflash the unit
have you installed any program?
have you installed any program before this? I realized my problems might have come from KeepMyRingTones app... after a hard reset sound seems to be better, but still not as I wanted to be.
Same problem here...I wish the ringer was really loud. I used to have a nokia n82 and really loved the ringer and speaker volumes on it. Hoping Windows 6.5 will improve the ringer on this phone.
Try installing SRS Wow HD or HDTweak
Both have increase in volume settings
Hi Did anyone try the Moto Defy with Louder Volume Hack ? If yes, was there any difference?
it doesnt work on any Motorola devices
Did you find a Louder Volume solution for your Motorola Defy?
For me the other people are always a bit quiet in phone calls. I either have to ask them to speak up, or switch to speaker phone and blast everyone nearby with my conversation
Mines currently stock System version:Blur_Version.2.51.1.MB525.Retail.en.IT

Really? I had the voice call volume all the way up yesterday and it almost blew my ear off. In fact, it was so loud I thought I had the speaker phone engaged for a second.
Hi guys,
Thanks for answering. defy is actually a very good phone in terms of speaker / loudspeaker's amplitude, but always felt the absence of an equalizer (The media settings did not help much) - The Louder Volume Hack promised to do a good job of improving the bass frequencies without putting strain on the processor and hence the battery.
I used the app, but to say the truth I did not feel much difference. Also the app did not make much sense to me. Regarding the bluetooth sound, i felt a slight improvement after using the Louder Volume hack app.

+1 Even I thought that the speaker phone was on but found it off! Interestingly, I couldn't hear much when I moved the phone away from my ears!

In my t-mobile UK defy I have some equaliser settings in "Settings, Call Settings, Voice Quality" menu. See if you have that option?
i did adjust the voice quality setting to the one that says "seems louder" but it didn't make a noticeable difference, I still strugle to hear. Dunno if the european motoblur firmware is the issue? Or if phone carrier effects this? I will have to look into that volume hack.

Is there a way to increase in-call volume past the default maximum? I tried disabling voice privacy, using Volume+ and manually editing build.prop, all to no avail. I'm running the VZW (LTE) Galaxy Nexus.
Thanks!
Wait on Samsung to use decent speakers in the GNEXII?
I agree it's annoying. The speakers (earpiece and external speaker) are junk. Shocked that they actually sourced such crappy hardware for a "flagship" phone.

I think my phone is defective. I can't change the IN CALL volume while on a call. Using the volume rocker, you see it move up and down on the screen but the volume stays the same.
I have the same problem
I'm really frustrated. The in-call volume on my phone is so quiet, I can barely use it unless I'm in a quiet environment. I have installed volume+, which works great to boost sound level of rings, noises, and music playing from the speaker. But the Volume+ settings for bluetooth and in-call do nothing.
It's funny... when I'm on the bluetooth speaker phone for my car and call someone, it's loud for the first ring, and then much quieter from the second ring onward.
If someone could help fix this problem, I would be extremely grateful.
Thanks,
Kevin
I'm still on stock... so that might be my problem. I have a Motorola Oasis BT and love it, but when I hit the button for voice dialer, it's always at half volume. It resets back to that EVERY TIME! I hate that it can't confirm what it thinks I said. I've dialed so many wrong people... UGH! This has to be a Google issue. I only wish CD+ worked with 4.0. The programmer told me there is no way it will ever be updated to work.
The sound volume through the BT is nothing like my EVO. Even my loud talkers I can barely hear now even on the highest settings.
I want to root the device and hope something comes out to fix it. I drive a truck and need to hear without having to pull off the road.
Initially, my nexus's speaker volume and incall volume are both really low even at maximum settings. After browsing around xda, I found people recommending volume+ so I paid $1.62 and got the full version. Speaker volume is loud enough now, although I feel the quality is not very good. I don't use speaker to listen to music so it's not a big problem.
There's also in-call volume setting in volume+. I set it to 90 and strange things happens: When I use skype, in call volume is extremely high, I can almost treat it like I'm on speaker. It feels like the settings are working. However, for regular calls, the in-call volume stays the same, still too low for most cases. I can only hear people in quiet rooms. I barely hear anything on a street. Setting in-call volume to other numbers doesn't change the result. So my result is volume+ is only semi-functional. Any other fix for in call volume?
In call volume is the only api not exposed so it cant be increased. Btw everyone goes for volume+ but equalizer by smart apps is free and i much prefer over volume+.
Anybody has any other ideas? Low call volume is really annoying
Still nobody？ Everyone‘s incall volume is loud enough?

Just did a test:
Removed in call settings
Speaker to +10
Called *611 (bell customer service) let the automated machine start talking..
Click volume down on rocker a few times then clicked volume up a few times and the sound increasef to am acceptable level.
However when i clicked up one to many times it almost mutes volume but the onscreen indicater is at max (found this odd).
Saw this on the thread you gave. I have the same situation. There exists a maximum in-call volume at around 3/4 of the bar. It's enough for regular use but still a bit low
low volume on calls
Still no one comes with a solution, the volume on the gnex is very low on call especially outside...thanks

I have the same problem using ZTE Blade... volume+ didn't work.
I think there solutions, many roms developer put on their changelog things like "in-call volume boosted" then I ask how you did that and no one anwers...
Anyway I did some research and I found on the rom i'm using a file named libaudio.so that says:
Setting in-call volume to %d (available range is 0 to 7)
Guess that for me increasing steps with volume+ only has efect until 7...
Maybe i'm being stupid... can someone with more experience analyse this?
Is anyone else upset about the low volume while on a call. Is there anyway to change it? Or modify etc/path.XML. just need a little boost not much. Already using viper and dual audio speaker mod so those don't seem to help at all as they don't control the ear piece. I'm rooted on latest pure nexus.
I actually sometimes put in-call volume too high and it hurts my ear unless I hold the phone away an inch or two because it's too loud.
I have WiFi calling turned on, and voice privacy off.
NO issue at all! It's call quality is great! Crystal clear and loud sound!
Perhaps the dual speaker mod affected call volume in some way? I don't have that mod but do have V4A. No issues with call volume.
Hmm, probably the ROM. Cause this phone has the best call quality I have ever experienced, and too loud, and look where I live! Including them old Nokias and Motorolas and BlackBerries.
