thanks!!!

What settings are people using on their Nexus?

WoW, I was a fan of Equalizer over Volume+ but am defecting over to this new Beta V+ Camp. The Equalizer having no auto start was a pain anyway.
The thing gets loud enough to make the speaker distort and go into cut out if pushed more. It looks like Sammy added a protection circuit. Amazing.
Scared me, I thought I blew her. But after backing out she came back. It cuts out to a super low level and will not respond until you correct or reset.
I adjusted while listening to a known strong .mp3 on my phone. Coolio's Gansta Paradise.
Eq Type = Rock
No Room Effect
Volume Level - +14 (Distorts @ 15 and cuts out @ 16 & Above)
No Base enhance
No Equlaizer. (Move those sliders over too much and she cuts out)

I would think the equalizer would apply to headsets. The little speaker on the GN is hardly something to fine tune eh?

OK. Maybe I'm just stupid ... or too old because you know .. over 40 your brain just goes but all the sounds, music and whatnot are really loud and I like this BUT one of the things I thought that Volume+ would do is make all sounds louder. I would REALLY like the lock sounds to be as loud as say .. an SMS notification but even with Volume+ they are not ... so light I can barely hear them. Is there a setting for this I am missing? Or is it just the volume the lock sounds are recorded at?

Anybody else having problems with the EQ Settings for the speaker? I can't change it to Good Quality - keeps changing to treble boost instead.

Yeah I'm having the same problem. It's a beta, can't wait for the finished product.

Hi,
Testing since a few days,downloaded from: http://androidaudiohacks.com/ .Credit to him
Good,but for me doesn't set on boot...,just that for me...
In any case the dev of volume+ have a Gnex
I always used volume+ since my Desire HD,HTC Sensation (on CM7 which come with Dsp Manager,but i have never seen any improvements,specially for ringtones/notifications).
I've posted a comparo with Dsp manager/Volume+ before the beta in a thread in that section...
You can always use some settings like the previous version: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362335 ,work great for me...+ check "Speaker Modifications" and in Advanced Settings set also "Speaker Modifications",for both "Volume level" is not bad set to 8 with the above values ,also depend what you set in settings/sound...
I've not tested "Virtual Room Effect",the dev says it's not work...So i've not tested
Enjoy,thanks to Meltus (the dev),Since he has a Gnex i think Volume+ will be better

Link is dead ):

If it helps... (Some settings can be adjusted,like Volume Level):
Don't forget that:
Works great for me,ringtones and notifications are greatly improved ,for me Dsp Manager never does not "allow" this (especially for improve notifications/ringtones)...
I hope i did not forget anything
And let the dev improve the settings for his app,he has its Gnex since a few days...

Low Speaker Volume "Ringer/Earpiece"

Hey guys,
Quick one on ringing volume on the Gnex...so dam low! Can hardly hear it. The earpiece is only just acceptable also.
Any ideas??
Unrooted 4.0.2. Gnex
Thanks in advance! =)

kind of hoping someone gives us a clue. Thats my only slight gripe low speaker volume, I thought one of the updates had a supposed fix but im here with 4.0.2 and nothing

Try this:
Volume+ Free - LINK
or buy it to make it even louder: Volume+ (Sound Boost) - LINK
If you ever root, use DSP Manager, a lot better then Volume+:
DSP Manager (Flash it) - LINK

I tried the free no noticeable difference so im hesitant to buy the full. Thanks anyway

you can buy it, and try it out. you have a 15 minute refund window.

yea I hate that 15 min window lol never seems enough time, they should at least give you an hour

Its says it currently doesn't work with ICS?? Hrmmm..
So it works on your Gnex??
Thanks guys. = )

this doesn't help with "in-call, earpiece" volume. i recall that this type of change had to be done at the kernel level. i had the same issue with my Nexus One and a kernel dev boosted the output tables (or something like that) in the kernel and it made a big difference. i was hopeful that Samsung's service codes could be accessed to change in-call volumes. however, those codes don't work on the Galaxy Nexus.

Hmm. Flashed dsp manager and now it force closes every time i try and open it. Any way to get it working or at least remove it?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk

This has been covered in depth. Install equalizer or volume+, and max out each frequency. Your volume will double for all audio, ringers, notifications, and music. But call volume will stay the same.

So it does work with ICS?

I used volume+. Out the box volume is low. For each setting i put it on the one after the *warning*. Does its job.

Equalizer is my favorite over volume+... and yes the both work on ice cream. Works excellent.

So its just called equalizer??
Does it have some other options over the earpiece also?
Thanks guys. I've thrown a few thanks hits around too. = )
Cheers.

Equalizer by smart apps. Great app.

I use volume + and works great. I got the paid version. These are my settings and its loud I have to turn my phone down at work cuz when it rings its loud as hell lol.

Cool man thanks for the uploads dude!!
So I'm trying g to decide without knowing what one works aswell as what one is better.....dilemma!! Haha.
Thanks again guys. = )

One other thing, is the Gnex speaker capable of going louder without damage??

also make sure you go to sound settings > music effects and choose volume +. a lot of people who don't notice a difference in volume have missed that essential step

Well... even not being a nood i wish that was the problem.
Believe me i've tried the Volume + ..lol
Looks more like a it is set to not me "loud".
Any hint?

So, does Volume+ work and it's still not loud enough for you? I'm not really getting the last sentence.
The Nexus is not the loudest phone. You only have two options:
Use Volume+ or some other app like that to boost the max volume.
Or you can use a custom ROM with a higher max volume setting. CM9 is pretty loud (I have it on 1/3 and it's loud enough for me).

You can try to modify the tone itself on the pc to make the sound louder. I did that before. Not really a technical guy but it had something to do with the decibel readings. After that the tone played loud when I transferred to my phone

Ringtones
Open source software called audacity is pretty great for moding sound files and can help with the volume level. Mod on the computer and place them on the Nexus...

I made my own ringtone. Its loud enough to wake the dead, without distortion. No need for Volume+.
As kafitze mentioned, use Audacity. It may not help current ringtones if they are low quality already. I made mine from a flac file.

Thank you guys... will try all these solutions.

I'm running stock ICS on my unrooted Gnexus. Can I use Volume+ without any problems? And should I download from the market or from the site?

[Q] Is there a way to make an indivisual app (Netflix) louder?

Netflix highest volume compared to Youtube and ect. Is not as loud for some reason on my phone even with all my volumes up to the limit is there a way to change this?

I hate how low Netflix volume is, as well.

If your kernel supports it, you could use voodoo+, sounds plus, or xlouder, or dsp manager, to change the over all volume louder

My VolumeSwipe lets you adjust the volume by swiping along the edge of the screen in the small number of apps that it supports. It has a boost mode which lets you increase the volume beyond the OS settings. So one option, though not a very convenient one, is to install VolumeSwipe and turn on its boost mode. Then in Netflix, just swipe up to increase volume to 120% (say). When you're done watching the movie, swipe back down to a normal volume level before exiting Netflix.
I haven't tried VolumeSwipe on the E4GT as I designed it exclusively for the Kindle Fire (which needs something like it since it doesn't have volume keys), so the screen layout may look bad on a smaller screen, but it's worth trying.
If you find that VolumeSwipe gives you the kind of volume setting you like, you can post back in this thread and ask me nicely to add an option to remember the volume levels in the supported apps and to restore outside of them. This way, each time you start up Netflix (or one of the other supported apps--there aren't many) you'll get the same volume level, and when you leave Netflix, you'll get a default level.
Alternately, per-app volume-boost would be a nice feature to add to my per-app settings app.

Thank you!! Boosts enough in Netflix. If you can add option of remembering volume levels I am asking nicely! Really.
Thanks for all your effort,
Doc

actually that would be very nice and a nice feature im sure every1 could enjoy....also if you could the volume maxes out at 140 im not sure if im getting the same results as the guy above me lol but im getting miminal boost im thinking 175% would be perfect.

I worry that it might damage the speakers.

I decided to do this not with VolumeSwipe (which I recommend uninstalling), but instead with my in-development PerApp app, which lets you set different per-application settings.
PerApp 0.01 lets you control Volume Boost and Orientation Lock.
To set Netflix to a louder volume, run PerApp. Select Netflix. Choose "Boost". Set a volume level like "6" (=140% in VolumeSwipe). Back out of the setting. Then check off "Active".
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. You can download from here. Source code is in the repository.

1 possible solution
My OS: Win 7
My default browser: Firefox
My solution:
Start > Control Panel > Hardware and Sound >
Under "Sound" (do not click the actual Sound link) click > Adjust system volume
If you see your browser present, increase the sound for it.

What do we know about the JB low speaker volume?

So, many of you are aware of how abysmally low the speaker volume is on the phone after getting the JB update. Unfortunately all the information on it is scattered among several different posts and threads, and I just wanted to get some clear answers and use this as an informational post for others who are annoyed by this bug.
What, if anything, do we know about why it happens? Is there a definitive fix system-wide, or do I have to use volume boosting apps? I run franco kernel, are there going to be any compatibility issues with proposed fixes? I like using mostly stock JB, can I get a ROM that makes minimal changes to the original while still fixing the volume issue?

After randomly doing a search for volume fix a few minutes ago I saw this. Did search for same exact reason (gnex 4.1.1). Awesome beats (one of multiple equalizer apps) is said to work. I'm gonna try it in the morning (so as not to have a very annoyed girlfriend at 4am). There's probably a good amount more info on this. As for the last part..pure-ish 4.1.1 aosp Roms are very pleasing...like buttah lol.

If you have Franco.kernel, download his app from the play store (it costs a few bucks, not super expensive). In the settings tab there is an option to increase the max sound volume. I recommend setting it to 2; if you set it to 3 sometimes the sound will cut out on max volume.

I have no idea if this is correct information or not, so take it with a grain of salt, but I read earlier today in the Franco thread that that setting only affects the headphone volume, not speaker volume. I can tell you it does nothing for the volume on my GNex (speaker). I love this phone dearly, but I absolutely hate the low volume. I never have music on my phone, but I use the speaker phone multiple times a day while at work in my truck. I've yet to find a fix that actually increases the speaker volume on calls, and I've tried just about every ROM and tweak around. I'm beginning to think the people that swear some of these fixes work are just having a placebo effect.

It seemed to make my speaker sound louder, but I am also using it in tandem with the AwesomeBeats mod for AndroidMe ROM, so it might be one or the other.

I remember reading that too. It does nothing for my GNex speaker either. Volume+ works though. I just tried it yesterday. It definitely increases the volume but only so much before it starts distorting the sound pretty bad. But it is a godsend volume wise for sure.

The dev says it doesn't work with the system stuff (like ringtones, notifications, etc.) Works for music volume on JB though. Check it out, seems like a lot of people with various JB roms are using it successfully. It's kinda hard to be sure it's not working without trying it. I assure you..again..I'm using it..it works for music. Re-read what the dev said.

I try Volume+ on my jelly bean nexus. Only the music volume work, not the system volume (like ringtones). I missed so many call because the ringtone vol is not loud enough even at max vol level. I know I can install ROM, but I prefer stock right now.

There are no mods available as of now for boosting ringtone or notification volume for galaxy nexus on jelly bean. All the mods like awesomebeats/volume+ and also the default musicfx only work on music volume.
I have tried all the mods on all JB Roms which claim to boost ringtone volume, but none really work. The effect if at all is very marginal.
The problem lies with the way google has implemented Jelly Bean. The solution has probably go to come from them until one of the geeks here manage a workaround.
Lets see if volume+ developer manages to release a working version.
I am currently using volume+ on AOKP milestone6(ICS 4.0.4) to great effect.
There is no point in upgrading to JB unless the ringtone volume level problem is addressed. What is the use in owning a phone which you cannot here ringing.

Really need a stock solution. The reason I have the Galaxy Nexus is to avoid flashing madness with the stock experience. Is it a tracked bug?
