I am confused still from threads and an app description I read
So the original volume problem of fluttering was fixed with the earlier version of the GSM Nexus. Google said the one last week was a brand new version. Nothing new, just fixes I suppose. Is he correct
Well it seems that the volume is still low and I have seen other threads, opinions
I saw Volume+ But it said do not use NOT rooted. I don't wanna root
Can someone tell me if I really shouldn't use that AND / OR what a good app or fix is?
Thanks so much
Eric
Just use volume+ it works without root. I use equalizer by smart apps myself, but either works. You can near double your volume and blow your speaker if you go too high.

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.

MIUI-SCI 2.4.13v1.0
KERNEL VERSION 2.6.35.14....
Android version 2.3.7
and i really love it...but this one thing is bothering me and every miui lover.....
and its none other than PATHETIC LOW VOLUME OF SPEAKERS!!!!!
i mean why such a beautiful rom dont have this basic quality...
i have searched almost all sort of apk (yeah, including volume+ and dsp manager and all) and mods....but no luck
can anyone tell me a way to increase the sound..plzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I'm with you on this one. As soon as I get my hands on a computer I'll try searching. Head over to the Inspire section, I believe it was under the Q&A section there's a sticky for miui. If I find anything I'll report back.

have you tried other Miui derivatives
and do you mean like speaker volume in total
for that XxXPachaXxX has a fix, head over to his website and download the zip called extra loud or something and flash that
also his sony BE mod is really cool
Right now im testing a different one that I grabbed from over the inspire section since my cell is that.
And yes, the only prob. I had was the speaker volume. Everything else worked fantastically.
I was running dekky's latest GB build.
Funny thing, if it weren't for my gf that complained (we both have the same cell and since she was complaining about battery life, I told her to install miui - which of course meant me doing it after a few more days of hearing her complain. I was happy, I don't even listen to music on the cell and didn't care) I wouldn't even be here.
Sorry about that, I needed to vent a bit.

A few things, still testing. This place isn't about others doing things for you. Hence, chill out and be patient.
Edit: you can search for a file called inspire gb audiofix and test 0301 and install both.
If I knew how to upload the files I would.
My gf says it sounds better with both. I have no idea since I don't listen to music on the cell.
2nd edit: flashing the first fix mentioned made me loose sound in calls.

Posting in multiple places won't get you anywhere.
you want louder volume in speakers of through headphones? because that's how MIUI is. Try using other GB roms because i'm using MIUI and i just tested the speaker volume and that's fairly low but through headphones it can get really loud.
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?

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 ?

Hey guys, I'm a former iPhone user and I just recently switched to android for several reasons. The ZL being my first android device makes it harder for me to compare but...does anyone else experience slight delays when it comes to having the lock screen come up when hitting the power button and waking the device?
I'm on a C6506, completely stock on the latest firmware (10.1.1.A.1.253) and less than a week old. My friends who convinced me to switch to android tell me that their devices (S2/S3/Nexus 4, etc) wake up practically in an instant, and I know that so did my iPhone, so this variable delay of upwards to a second and some is really, really irritating. Since I don't know anyone else with a ZL I can't compare performance, so I'm asking you guys so I can tell if it's what I should be expecting or if there's something wrong with my phone.
Here's a video to further illustrate what I'm talking about: Go on YouTube and watch?v=0fb0lt1sJgA, I can't post links because I don't have enough posts yet.
So yeah, some of these wake ups have a longer delay than others, but I've had even longer ones than the ones on the video. Is this normal behavior for the ZL?

It is annoying me, but it doesn't outweigh the many reasons why I'm switching to android. I just want to make sure I didn't get a lemon phone or something like that since I don't have a lot of experience with other android phones. I wanted to know if other ZL users had the same user experience as I did in this respect. If it's normal then I'll live with it, if not then I have to do something about it. By the way, did you see the video? Is it like what you normally experience with your phone?

I'm sorry if I came across as whining. Please, don't misunderstand. I'm not complaining about a delay, what I want to know is if the wake up speed of my phone is inline with other ZL phones in general. My android using friends all report very different wake up speeds, but none of them use a ZL so I have no one to compare to, which is why I came here. Unlike more popular phones that have every bit of them documented I haven't been able to find other examples for the ZL.
As for the video, please search "xperia zl wake up speed" on YouTube. It should be the first video.

I just came on xda this morning to post about the same problem although have an Xperia Z.
I think it is due to the new upgrade in firmware as this started happening after I updated to 253 last night.
The delay is much more prominent than it was on the previous firmware.

Yes, I didn't really notice it until I upgraded to the last firmware, but since I've spent so little time with the phone and the previous firmware I wasn't confident enough that there was a difference. What you say lends more credence to that hunch. I want to test and compare with the previous firmware but first I'd need to familiarize myself with how to flash them back and forward.

It does take some time. But not bothersome to me
I had a similar problem to yours. I noticed a few times that when i wake up the phone with the power button and swipe the screen to unlock it sits there for a good 5 sec with no icons.
It seems to me that when I have bluetooth enabled and streaming audio in the car or on my bluetooth bose speakers it does this.
Once I disable bluetooth it goes back to normal.

But this is with stock firmware, literally right after a repair/factory reset with no apps other than the stock ones installed or even user data on the phone.
One reason might be the Xperia Z and ZL's considerably long stand-by times on many tech review sites. It might be going in a 'deeper' sleep than what other android phones go to.
narilym 001288
I believe the initial one sec delay that you are experiencing when unlocking the screen is normal especially if you are running a live wallpaper.
I remember my old Galaxy SII would get very unresponsive at times making it extremely frustrating.
In my case nutsuTo is right I have some app that's giving me trouble. I know some people have complained about the xperia randomly rebooting. Mine only does this when I do a full reset and then install and updates my apps in the google store. Then once I'm finished and exit to the home screen it will reboot every single time. I know some app that I'm installing or updating is making my phone reboot.
I'm just to lazy to try all of them one by one lol
Forgive my bad english :fingers-crossed:
Well, I finally changed from a Galaxy S2 to an S4. I so love this phone but not sure what's with audio out. I use a 40 watt radio with audio in and hook my phone up to it. Using an equalizer in the S2 I could turn the volume on the phone most of the way up without problems. If I turned it up all the way thought he speakers in the radio would distort. But the radio sure put the volume out! Now that I have the S4 I've installed the same equalizer and set it the exact same way. I can turn the volume up all the way on the phone plus turn up the two band equalizer on the radio and it's nowhere near as loud as when I had the S2 hooked up. Both phones would warn me about having volume up to loud when using headphones but I always ignore that since it's a radio I'm hooking up to. Is it my imagination or is the S4 just not putting as much out as my S2 did?
Viper4Android will solve ALL your sound woes. It requires root though but its TOTALLY worth it.
Lol, looking at it in Google Play it doesn't look like it's in English so I think I might have trouble with it though. Rooting the phone is no big issue. I've rooted and unrooted it already.
