is there an app or something to boost the volume on the g2? it's a little low in my headphones. i can live with it, it's not that low, and i'm not gonna root (when a permanent root comes along) just for a volume boosting, but i just wouldn't mind being able to crank it up a little bit extra by using an app or something.
thanks
Have you tried meltus volume app from the market

It doesn't work with our G2. The app says it probably won't work with any devices with Android 2.1+
You'll have to contact him via twitter and/or email and request the LVH4 Beta. Could possibly work on G2 or maybe, he hasn't even made any headway with G2 yet...

ok
wow, i just looked up that Meltus Louder Volume Hack app... awesome, im' gonna keep an eye out for that to get updated to work on 2.1+ phones so i can maybe try that for my G2... but holy crap, the comments make me lose faith in humanity... well i already didn't have that much faith in humanity, but it clearly says in the description "Doesn't work with 2.1+ phones, see site for full list." and yet tons of people are complaining that it doesn't work and they wasted their money and giving it bad reviews... how do people just keep getting dumber? maaaaaannnnnn.... haha
This is the reason I still carry my ipod fml

Are you using the headphones that came with the phone, or your own?
I was using some aftermarket headphones, and they seemed like they weren't very loud. I don't know why, but I popped in the headphones that came with the phone, and they are much louder. I'm guessing that the impedance or something is different. I guess it makes sense seeing as this phone has some sort of heard-aid rating (that I assume means it should be loud enough for folks that are hard of hearing).
I doubt thats the case. The included plugs still arent nearly loud enough.

You could look into an external amplifier.
I have the fiio e5, it charges through usb and its tiny. it would be great if it didnt pick up cell phone interference when near the phone. I would probably look on ebay for a cmoy amp, or check head-fi for recommendations.
Any one has a wires headphone that has control on it, like pause/play, skip next, call/end, volume control, like the one that iPhone have so you don't have to get the phone in the pocket just to control it?

I had been looking for one about a month ago, i came across a couple forums saying android cant actually use (iphone like)physical buttons because there's no place for it in the OS(something similar to that). Anywho, dont quote me i'm only a noob(and this is my 1st post).
But i ended up buying
thecellguru.com/Products/28106
and
newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16875979005
, both of which are pretty good. The alteclansing one is better, but if too much bass is a problem for you, i would suggest the former. Both have physical buttons, press for play/pause/answer, long press for endcall, double press for next track.
Hope this helped

sorry bro, after i bought those i stopped looking.
However, this thread seems has some suggestions

Skull Candy may have some like the kind you are looking for.
A few years ago when I owned my BlackBerry, I had a pair of Skull Candy headphones that allowed me to answer calls, skip songs, and adjust the volume.
It's been a few years, but it is a possibility that they still make some like that.
Sent from my Inc using Nil's Business Gingersense. Now that's Incredible.
I use the Klipsh S4i
And they are pretty fine. The sound's quality is fairly good for headsets that price.
You also have controls which are fully operational with an iphone. For android devices, you can use the lecture, pause, next and previous song, answer calls. But you can't control the volume.
But your device's volume can probably be changed even if the screen's locked and off I guess. from within your pocket. I do that and it's really fine
hope it helps

what's good about beats? seems like it's all hype
So along with the 10+ threads we have about ICS for the international GSII (that don't help us at all) are we gonna see 10+ threads on how Beats can be ported to any Android device now?

and the actual thread

The download list says it works for samsung devices. I am testing it now.
I really hope this doesn't bring an influx of "does this ROM have Beats?" questions.
It's vastly overhyped and to an extent, the sound quality isn't any better than what you can configure with Poweramp.

Is there a particular reason people don't like Beats? I haven't tried it, but it seems to be immensely popular although I'm sure a lot of that is due to trendiness.
Even Starbucks made good coffee at one point....

My reasoning is as follows.
On the Beats Audio HW side, it is overprices POS that lives on name brand along, much like BOSE. This is not to say the Hardware is bad, but rather that it is highly over-priced for what you get and can often get better quality for 1/3rd or less of the MSRP if you buy other brands.
As for the SW side of things Beats audio artificially increases the the lower end of the audio spectrum through audio "enhancement" algorithms which actually colors the sound and effects not only the Lower Bass but Mid-bass as well and imho ruins the music. It ruins it by changing the sound signature drastically from the original. Basically from all I have seen through wave-guide charts is that it adds or amplifies all frequencies under 120hz to be at an equal or higher level than the highest output for a single frequency. In short, it makes all music sound heavy in bass whether or not it was the artists original intention.
Can't say that's what I want happening to my music then. Thanks for the fairly detailed explanation.

I hope more people realize this. People at my gym walking around with these headsets on their heads thinking "look, I'm cool and I got swag cuz I'm wearing Dre by Beats"
Hey Guys, I am VERY frustrated with this phone.
I have 2 pairs of awesome aftermarket phones that I have used for years on various phones to make and receive calls: Klipsch s4is and Bose E2s, which have worked on: iphone 4, iphone 4s, nexus one, LG G2x.
I just sold my 4s to get a GS3, and now, the headphones are not recognized by the phone app. WHen I dial out, I cant hear anything, and the mic doesn't register my sounds. There is no option for wired headset in the phone sources section of the phone app (which has a bluetooth option, and a speaker option, but not a wired headset option).
Is there any solution to this? If not, I'm immediately selling. I can't imagine that this is the most popular android device. I'm already dealing with the stock mail app not showing or syncing Exchange sub-folders, which is very, very annoying. Combine that with the headphone issue, and I'm already ready to bail. Please help!

Loyalty? What are you talking about. I'm about quality and features, not loyalty. In fact, to be loyal to a phone sounds completely wacko to me.
I'll repeat for everyone: I just called Samsung tech support. They have confirmed that aftermarket headsets DO NOT WORK ON THIS PHONE.
The also confirmed that: exchange sub-folders DO NOT WORK ON THIS PHONE.
You're telling me that is acceptable on their premier device? That is a joke. I will most definitely be selling this phone for one that supports the most basic, basic functionality.
BTW, I tested the phones on 5 different phones at the ATT and TMO stores and the Samsung kiosk at the mall. The headphones work on none of them. The 2nd tier customer support at Samsung has zero helpful information, and no date to fix. This is pathetic. I'll be getting rid of this phone now. If anyone wants a brand new white 32gb GS3 for TMO with an elago case and screen protector, let me know.

Her advice was also to buy a third party exchange app.
Have you tried them using a non touchwiz rom? That might be a solution
I have the same problem, but it only happens on "3 buttons" headset. If you use "one button" headset, it works fine with S3.
Example: I have Bose MIE2 (universal) and MIE2i (dedicated volume buttons for iPhone).
MIE2 (one button) does not disconnect when making calls, but MIE2i gets disconnected everytime when making call and I have to re-plug to make it work again.
My brother has piece of sh it headphones from Walmart with a built in answer button and mic. It works just fine...

I feel your pain. The first time I realized that my headsets didn't work with the S3 I was baffled. And it sucks that every time I'm listening to music with my earphones and I get a call, I have to pull the phone out and answer the call using the earpiece and mic on the phone. Totally stupid and frustrating. I hope it gets fixed soon. It's also really funny how the buttons work (one, not 3 on 3-button headsets like mine) to pause and skip tracks but the mic doesn't. Stupid.
On the Exchange Folders front, all folders do show up. The way I access them (I have multiple exchange accounts set up) is to hit the account drop down and then tap on show all folders. So the Samsung support person you talked to was wrong on that front.

My original Android wired headphones (that came with the Nexus One) work perfectly with the T-Mobile SGSIII to play music and make/receive calls. The call comes in, the music pauses and I answer the call, talk to the caller, hear them perfectly and end the call using the headset button. There something wrong with either your headset (I'm leaning in this direction) or your phone.

Maybe the headphones you are using are only for iphone?

I have klipsch 4S Androids and they work fantastic on my SGS3. Personally, I love the headset and the Mic on it works great. I know klipsch say the iPhone ones don't work on android. But I agree, you should buy a different phone. You must like what you buy when you spend on a top of the line phone.

I was just wondering what people's experiences on this are? I see it built into a lot of roms these days, but I'm happy on Bonestock right now so I've been hesitant to bother installing it separate because it looks like a pain. I'm happy with how Poweramp handles the EQ (I don't use Beats ever) but I was wondering if maybe people have noticed a big difference even with a great EQ like Poweramp has? Is it worth the hassle to install separate?
hands down the best! I have it installed and run it over beats. the customization is amazing and the sound is awesome. I am using a pair of House of Marley Zions and it could't get much more crisp and clear. the bass will blow you away as well.
I've got to second what ADodson said. I never have Beats turned on...just always use V4A. Sounds way better.
