why no volume hack yet?

other than the slight incall audio boost with some of the kernels why has no dev attempted to do a full audio mod to this phone? even the louder volume hack app hasn't been updated in a year.
im just shocked this phone has been out all of this time and we have come up with nothing. ive seen countless threads on this with no resolution.
thoughts?

my assumption is that it's not really in demand. I'm not really sure why you would even want this. the Evo is plenty loud as is. Plus I have played with the pre-amp on it and when you increase the volume to much more than what it is now it doesn't sound to good.

the media /speaker/ringtone volumes needs to be boosted badly. do a search man, there are countless threads on this. i was just curious is all.

you may think it needs a boost but im guessing others doing or a hack would have been made

The evo is the first phone iv had where volume is not an issue, in call or notification wise. This is also the first thread iv noticed concerning this issue. Imo there just must be no demand as already stated by xcom923.

well i think it's an issue and if you search the evo thread for volume boost you will see many others have asked too.

I gotta say a bump up of volume wouldn't hurt. Not like my winmo days where volume was awful.
Just a small increase would be nice.
My 2 cents

Ok then why clutter up the forum with another thread that noone wants to bother with. Enable hearing aid in settings-call. That will help with in call volume at least a little bit. Sorry i cant be of more help as well, good luck

Several custom kernels have audio boost, netarchys for one.

they only work for the incall, it's the media and back speaker that need a boost.

I believe DSP manager has a gain function for those that might work.

Dsp manager seemed to tweak bass, mid and trebble slightly but overall volume i didnt notice a change while listening to pandora.
Edit: thats through phone speaker. Headset and bluetooth have several more options but iv never tried

seems louder volume hack v4.0 market app will be released by december. hopefully it supports the evo with froyo.

Don't turn it all the way up. I remember I had a dps manager thing and when I boosted the volume up, my speaker popped and I hear crackling sounds for like 2 weeks. Took it to a Sprint store and got my Evo replaced.

This is the first time I've ever heard someone say the Evo isn't loud enough. When I'm out with friends and my phone rings,they always say "Omg, turn that down it's so loud!" Lol

you may be running a rom with the audio boost or a kernel with it baked in, im not.

So is a different rom/kernel not an option for you fixxxer?

Compaired to the I580 and the First motorola droid our speaker is low... But im half deaf anyway.

im running steelh rom and don't want to switch. i have a newer 004 model evo, the current kernels do not work for me.
i guess ill just wait until the new louder volume app hits the market.
can one of the devs here at least tell me what mods you did to the system to give your roms a volume boost? id be happy to do some modding.

I might be half crazy and half deaf but I swear PowerAmp music players pre amp feature jack things up abit..on speaker, with headphones and through my Plantronics BT. Speaking of music only though..but the answer is in his software if he can pre-amp sound.

[Q] LG Spectrum

So I thought I'd post here since I believe this phone is the closest to the lg spectrum and there is no lg spectrum forum here yet..
The main issue I am having is other callers hear me. The mic seems to be set a such a low pick up volume that others have a hard time hearing me. I mostly use voip app's like Viber and Skype. Who ever I talk to always tells me they have a really hard time hearing me.
I plug a headset w/mic in and that does not help at all.
Any idea or ways to help others hear me better?
I assume that I'm gonna have to wait for a root and some kind of 'mic gain' app..?

So, is the mic volume good in following cases?
1) use a recorder app
2) use the normal phone (not voip)
This should at least give you an idea it is app specific issue or a global/hardware issue.

Please explain how you got yours rooted..

Head over to Android forums dot com go to the spectrum pages, there is a one click windows .bat root, and a win/Mac/Linux scripted root, the one click windows .bat also adds CWM if you choose to.
And in case you don't know (I did not) you have to put the spectrum in tethering-ethernet mode to get debug mode to activate on the phone.

LG Spectrum LOVE
Honestly, I was disappointed in this phone as it feels like too much plastic. Especially coming from my Droid X and HTC Evo, heavy phones. But the little bugger warmed it's way into my heart with its impressive speed. The only complaint is sometimes people I talk to it sounds to them like i'm in a tunnel and when I talk to my girlfriend, who also has this phone, I can't hear her unless the mic is in a near perfect position to pic up her voice; I think it actually pics up the voice and registers it as background noise and cancels it if it's too quiet.. Just an idea. Could be wrong. And video chat is good, but audio through video chat is HORRID.
Cant wait for ICS and then WE NEED a space in XDA dedicated to ROOT and custom ROM on this bad boy. Verizon pushed it pretty hard a lot of people are going to own this device! Why not, it's worthy.

Yeah, the Spectrum has a lot of potential, potential that's hamstrung by Gingerbread and the dumb Optimus UI.
In the short term, using a different launcher helps a lot. In the middle term, rooting and removing some bloat helps. Installing a custom ROM will help too. One day soon I'll drop Broken Out Spectrum onto my phone.
In the long run, Ice Cream Sandwich will truly unleash the beast cowering under the crap it's hiding under on this phone. I'm really looking forward to trying the Nova and Apex launchers when we finally get ICS.
Hopefully CM9 will follow hot on the heels of ICS...
So, I'm going to tweak my phone in an attempt to get it working as well as it can on GB. Then, eventually, ICS will (should?) let my phone work the way it was meant to. I just have to be patient enough to not go get a new phone when ICS comes to new phone before we get it.

[Q] Earpiece Volume Really Low

Hey on my HTC One X after updating to the latest 1.29 update I noticed that the volume on the ear piece is really really low. Like I can hardly hear people in busy places like the mall. I am not rooted nor did I ever intend on getting rooted as everything else seems to be working good and I have other phones that are rooted. I was wondering if there is anything to increase the volume to a decent level. I have it raised all the way up and it sounds as if I have it set all the way down. Struggling to hear the other caller is a really starting to annoy me as this is a really awesome phone... So can anyone help?

Have you tried Audio Manager? Download it from Play Store and give it a go. Think it might work.

The sound is realy low,
i will try the adviced app,,
But the beats audio doesent make it any better.

I tried that app as well as volume + and it doesn't help...

Just in case...have verified your phone profile and also system audio settings. If all is set right and its still a problem, may be just factory reset the phone and see if its gets better. Just a suggestion, not a sure shot, but i have seen lots of weird things getting solved after factory resets.

Maybe the problem is for the earphones , have you tried other ones ?

Im talking about the earpiece in the phone. This happened since I updated to the latest 1.29 OS.

Going to sound silly but have you tired using your other ear.??? I say this because I had the same problem only to discover a sudden loss of hearing in one ear.!!!!!!

The problem is so stupid. Just clean every litle holes on your housing(earpeace area) with something thinly.
For example dental bore in my case or thin pin.

fastest rom

old thread got locked, there is too many roms out there just save us 10 hours and tell what it is, most of you have already tried out the roms.
Want rom for speed, but still have features and beats audio would be nice.
thank you.

Your last thread probably got locked because of the new forum rule/sticky " DON'T POST WHAT ROM OR PHONE SHOULD I GET THREADS." This one will probably get locked too.

You wont know what ROMs are out there unless you look at them and try them.. I tried Cyanogen 7.2, it was nice but wasnt exactly what i was looking for.. I have Andromadus Mimicry 1.5 now, and its freaking slick.. You just have to try them to find out.

can you guys direct me to that one? Im running the nightly jellybean 10 build from flinny right now and its pretty sweet. I am having a hard time with the accelerometer though.

I'm closing this thread but you can ask for feedback about ROMs on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1922416
Just to be clear when I say feedback I mean discussing about facts & not discussing about how you feel about a particular ROM. Do not try to belittle any Developer for any reason, I hope you all understand.

Extremely low volume after upgrading to 4.2.2. How can I go back to 4.1.1?

Hi,
I was on 4.1.1 and the speaker volume was very low but on the earphones it was good.
I upgraded to 4.2.2 and it has gone extremely low on the speaker and much lower on the earphones, plus the equalizer app is not as noticeable anymore.
Seriously, the speaker volume now is just inaudible, just a whisper. I can't hear anything on it (calls, music, videos...). Nothing. The phone is usless like this.
HTC told me to send it while it is under guarantee, but they can decide that I damaged it myself and not repair it.
So, first, I'd like to go back to 4.1.1. How can I do i? Resetting to factory settings is useless, the problem persists andI'm still on 4.2.2-
Any advice?
Thanks

Dude,
I thinks your speaker is damaged!
Because HTC One x volum on sense 5 is very good and louder!
Regards from Brasil

Thanks for your help guys.
I think it is everything. It is an old phone and it's dirty, so certainly the microholes of the speaker must be clogged with dirt. At the same time the speaker must be defective because it is extreeemly low and it is a very common problem for many owners. And finally, what I know for sure is that yesterday the sound on the earphones was excellent and today is low and poor, while it is dead onthe speakers, and that is caused by the 4.2.2. upgrade.
In these spanish forums other people are reporting the same after upgrading. http://www.htcmania.com/showthread.php?t=688211, so it's not only me.
So, what I'd like first of all is to know if it's possible to go back to 4.1.1, but still I will send it to HTC for repair on Monday.
About cleaning the holes with a toothbrush, I already tried with normal toothbrush and nothing changed. I read that some people are opening it and cleaning from inside with some specially thin brush, but I can't void the guarantee by opening it.
Thanks again. If you know if I can go back to 4.1.1 that is my main concern now.

Hi. Try this.
I understand the volume on 4.2.2 Sense 5 is a lot low. Get Viper4Android app and install it and do the settings as you would like. It works wonderfully on 4.2.2 Sense 5.

I can't root it by now, I need to keep the guarantee. If HTC fails to repair it, then I will try Viper4Android.
Thanks anyway.
Still, I'd like to know if it's possible to go back to 4.1.1. Nobody seems to know.

You can go back to 4.1.1 but you need to unlock you boot loader and flash a custom recovery and a custom 4.1.1 ROM. Sorry but no other way.

Oh I see. Then I better wait to see what HTC can do with the volume and then I will decide if rooting and using ROMs.
Thanks a lot.
Actually, on the earphones it's still great sound and the equalizer app works fine. I was doing something wrong. It's just the speaker which is low.
Thanks to everyone.

Update: I sent it to HTC and they fixed it fast and free of charge as it is under guarantee. Now it sounds very well, loud. In the report paper they say that they changed the software but not any hardware was replaced. I stil have 4.2.2, so I don't know what they changed. Maybe they just opened and cleaned the speaker inside.
