Curious what you guys who use Volume+ use as settings...particularly In-Call Settings. I have pretty poor, low volume on in coming calls and decided to buy Volume+ to try and help the issue.

Hi,
However, I have a problem~When I talk to someone on my galaxy nexus, someone else's voice is very low, how do I use your app to resolve it

You can't.
Google do not allow us to alter the in-call volume, I'm afraid.

Just experiment with it by increasing it by one each time. I used it for a while for the external speaker (in call has always been fine for me) but as co pilot is quite loud I didn't need it anymore but it is possible to blow the speakers on this thing so be careful oh, n I never used the eq settings, just the Max volume

There is a setting for In-Call volume though..what's it for then? I'm confused.

Re,
At one point it was more or less to a state test,now it seems it doesn't work,at least on ICS.
If you want to test it,backup your rom or at least your build.prop.If I remember right some users have encountered some issues...
The option is still here...Because Meltus has not removed it or maybe it works for Gingerbread...
I use volume+ at 7 only for speaker and not for headset. It works well.
Re,
About the In-call settings:
The in-call settings are VERY experimental, as explained in the warning screen. It also explains that a backup is HIGHLY recommended for this exact reason.
To restore your settings, you can either just reflash your current ROM (without clearing settings). This will restore the build.prop. This can cause problems on certain ROMs however.
Another method is to pull the build.prop from your phone (system/build.prop), edit to file to your desired value and then push it back to your phone.
Or, you can use a file manager to edit to file directly. There's many methods to altering system files, all will work fine!

It's from Meltus (the dev of Volume+).
Volume+ doesn't work with call volume, only all other audio. At least currently, maybe call volume is coming soon. Its different for each phone.

Make sure you are getting Volume+ and not Volume Control +
Do you have to be rooted for Volume+ to work?
i tried to use that on my transformer and it never worked.

Hang on a second...
Are you talking about "Volume+ Free" or "Volume++"? Two different apps by 2 different devs.
anyone found one that works?
This one works for me.
Audio Manager also works for me and was the first application I used. I found that system volume was at level 2 out of 7 and it was almost as if the system volume setting is hidden within ICS actual settings.
However, even after setting it to 7/7; it still wasn't loud enough. This is why I installed Volume+ as above.

Will using one of these apps to boost the volume eventually damage the speakers? Or why is installing an app for this necessary?
The default maximum volume on the speakers is ridiculously low.
I tried Volume+ Free. This free version limits the boost to +4 instead of the max +7, but +4 seems to make a huge difference already. And it seems to work even though the installer says it only works on Android 2.3.
Do we need root for this volume apps?

Thanks for this.
I've had my GN for about 3 hours now and the ring tone volume was the very first thing I tried out, just to see just how loud it was. It was pretty low. I promptly purchased this app and it has brought up the volume to a more than acceptable level. The phone is actually loud now.
I currently have it set to 9 in volume+. I can't imagine going all the way up to 15 as it's loud enough. What did you raise yours to?
Great App! Worth the money.
Ditto on Volume+...so much louder!
I had to get the paid version because it seemed like the free one didn't make any noticeable effect in the ringtone volume for me on my GNexus. I've currently got it set at 9 on Volume+ and that finally seems to have made it loud enough for me (but I still have to crank the phone's volume almost to the max to have it loud enough to hear in noisy areas).
Doesn't do anything for me. Tried the paid version turned all the way up +15, makes no difference in volume...

+1. No difference.
Ive noticed when you crank it past 9 it doesn't work, maybe a safety feature to ensure your speaker doesn't blow.. try it on 8 and 9

Speaker volume is one of the things I am nervous about on the Nexus, I do use my phone as a alarm clock and speakerphone during conference calls. I've seen quite a few reviews where the reviewer thought the speaker was too quiet. At least it's comforting to know the volume can be boosted to an acceptable level for some people using software. I wonder if the VZW version will offer any improvements in this area.

It's a quirky little App. You have to keep trying it. There were a couple times where it stopped working for me, then when I came back later on it was working again.
Here's what to do, open up a song in your music player so you have something playing in the background. Then open up Volume+ & enable speaker modifications. Now try changing the volume levels. Go from like 3 to 8, if it's working you will notice a change instantly. If it doesn't work, try rebooting and/or un/re-installing and trying again. As others have said, I can set the volume all the way up to 10 maybe even 11, but any higher and nothing will happen. So don't over do it and hit 15 cause you won't notice any difference.
Honestly, without this app this phone would have been close to deal break territory for me.
The exact search term is " Volume+ (Sound Boost) " in the android market . You can copy & paste that into the android market search field minus the quotation marks. The free version doesn't have sound boost in it's title and the volume level won't go up high enough. In preferences in the app, you need to be able to select somewhere between 8-10. Too low, nothing and too high doesn't work either.
Very important, when you download the app for the first time, there is quick one time visual tutorial. Do everything exactly what it says to do, if not, won't work. If you can take screen shots of the directions, your better off. After that one time, you would have to un—install and than re—install to see it again. It only comes up right after the initial install.
The only variance is your volume number in the preferences . Test, if it's working, by listening to the preset ring tones in the system settings of the phone.
I was afraid, that I might of had to exchange the phone because the speaker volume was so bad. This app makes a significant difference.

You can get the full version for free from the developers site which has a link in the Market page of the lite version.
I keep mine set on 10 and it gives me the perfect volume.
It's the way the phone should have come.....
I am surprised samsung or google have not rectified this with the last 2 ota updates.

10 was REALLY loud with my text tones with vol on max. Im at 8 now and the speaker sounds loud but not poppy or distorted. Im going to try the earpiece vol next
Help!
By any chance do you remember the steps? I just bought the app but accidently pressed the back button on the tutorial part. Is there anyway to go back to it?

thanks guys it helps alot

FYI there is an updated version at developers site 1.8.0.6 that adds ability to view the tutorial on demand.
I bought V+ and it helped with some of the settings, but not all. I rooted the phone as well. I might be returning it. It is a big disappointment.
Has anyone tried this with a bluetooth headset? I tried and am not getting any results. Tried "Headset" and tried "Bluetooth" settings, separately and together.

Do you do that natively with a bluetooth head unit. I have a car with bluetooth head unit and when I make a call and I'm using Nav at the same time it plays the Nav through the speakers....otherwise it doesn't.
Wondering if I can do likewise so any information would be greatly received.
Thanks
I'm on 4.0.1, build ITL41F . My ringer volume/notification volume is ok. But my system sound (screen clicks, keyboard clicks, lock/unlock clicks) can barely be heard. I've tried 3rd party sound managers and increased system sound to the max, but still can hardly hear the sounds. Anyone with the same problem or know of a fix ?
I use the external speaker to listen to podcasts while doing work around the house... I swear the GN's speaker is half the volume of the Droid's.
It's a hardware thing. The speaker on all Samsung phones are weak.
I dont think thats true. The sgs2 has an extremely loud speaker.
My SGS2 too has very loud speakers. So i'm still having this system sound volume problem with my GN. Again, ringer/notification is ok, just system sound clicks..etc..

I dont know what volume managers youve used before, but you need to root and use volume+ to set it to +8 or +9

I think the system sounds are meant to be faint in ICS,It makes sense,I wouldn't want the clicks & what not to be any louder although having control over the system sound would be nice so if you did want it louder that would be possible

Very very very simple solution. Get the free Equalizer app from the market. Problem solved.

No you do not! You need root only to modify on call volume which on this phone is fine to begin with.

Equilizer app does increase the system volume ! Thx !
I looked thru the kernel code and could not find any audio driver to tweak the audio levels. On the nexus one you could tweak value in the kernel to boost all volumes. No such luck with this kernel though.
I'll stick with equalizer app for now I guess. I'll try volume+ too.
I installed the paid version but not to sure on how to use it and I don't want to screw anything up. Can this app fix the loudness of my notifications, I miss texts and calls too much. Ringtones and alarms are low too. Desperate for a fix. I'm really trying to fix this phone, don't want to swap it for a rezound just yet. I apologize if this had been answerd already I can't seem to find any search results on tapatalk.
Thanks ahead of time...

So once I open the app up I just enter in your setting and I'm good to go? That should fix all my sounds issues? Notifications, etc. I have no clue what each option is.
When you first open the app there are some instructions. Follow them closely. You have to first set the increment to 1+ and then use your volume rocker to boost the sound. Then after that you can raise it to 8+. I am set at 8+ and 1+ for bass like the guy above.

Has anyone else experienced issues with system sounds not playing? My Nexus does not play any touch sounds or keyboard sounds, when both of those options are definitely checked. I've rebooted, factory restored, tried a new ROM, and I get no sounds.
I do have the famed "clicking" sound (of the speaker engaging and disengaging) as though it's attempting to play, if I listen closely.
Using the Verizon Galaxy Nexus with both stock 4.0.2 and an AOSP build of 4.0.3.
EDIT: Using Volume Control + to edit the System Volume from 2 to 7 fixed the problem.
Go to settings settings > sound > volume. Make sure your music, video, games, and other media slider isn't muted.
Same problem here. I thought that maybe it was a 4.0.1 issue... wonder if it is hw related?

Thanks for all the quick replies! I just had a brainstorm after posting and figured out what the problem is. I don't have an answer for HOW it happened, but there seems to be a System Volume that is NOT user-modifiable. I just downloaded Volume Control +, and changed the System Volume from 2 to 6. I can definitely hear it now!
Strange! Well at least you got it working!

Do you mean past volume level 7? Probably not. You could always pull the sound effects from /system/media/ui and amplify them in an audio program such as Audacity, then push them back.

Thank you, I though about it too, but then I decided against it because I may feel I want to go back to a lower volume and it would be a pain in the neck to move files back and forth.
The only way I could get them a little louder is by using DSP or similar.

True, it would. Then again, to lower the volume, you could then just modify the system volume lower rather than moving the old files back.

Thanks this thread helped me get keyboard sound after flashing custom rom, there was no setting adjust system volume in setting.
3rd party apps like volume plus did the trick.

Don't know how happened, not flashing roms or appling any new tweak from 2 months or more..
Just the sound disappered.. =S
Solved with volume control + !
