My calls are too loud most of the tone, even with the volumes all the way down. I just bought an in-line volume controller to adjust my volumes, hopefully that will bring it down more than before. I think that supercurio is inventing controls for the i9100. It would be never if we can at least make a sign that shows that we can mod our audio to do the same thing if not any. I know we have yamaha hardware in our phones, and voodoo sound is produced yamaha, although I know voodoo found aren't dofound in our phones. We probably do have a chance to dev something. Let me know if anything.

Try volume+ from the market, or adjusting the user accessibility setting in the main menu.
Volume + does not show up on my search results for some reason. second, do you know of an accessibility app too download?

My bad, yes it does show up, but it really doesn't work for me, I have root and try to adjust the headset but no progress and the the speaker does work and that is all. In not sure how to adjust the Bluetooth and if possible I'd like too know how to use it. Does anyone have a suggestion?

I've been using this app on the G1 and the Cliq and it works on the G2. Seems to need tweaking but it definately increased the volume for me. I recall someone complaining about the low volume on the G2 so I thought to let peoples know it works...its in the market...v.3.6 by Meltus

I used to use it on my G1 too. I just installed it on my G2. However, I can not detect any changes, with any setting. Neither the in call volume or speaker sound any louder or better. The changes on the G1 were not just noticeable, but drastic, so I don't think I'm missing it.
I am using the PowerAmp App. I recoomend it if you feel like the G2 speaker isnt enuff. It wont solve all your sound issues but it works well when playing mp3's with or without your headset

+2 i agree
Between mixzing and power amp I prefer power amp for the sound. Hopefully meltus comes out with an updated volume app soon.

Even with the media volume to the max, my ear has to literally be on the speaker to hear the slightlest sound from the keyboard. This must be a bug, right?
Key press sounds are tied to phone ringer/notification volume, nit media volume.

With all volumes to the max, the keyboard is still silent
bump....any solutions
Never mind, downloaded audioguru, turned up system sounds now it's more audible. The system volume can't be set more to the minimum by default.
So you have to download a 3rd party app to make a $700 phone work correctly ?

No, but if you want to have your key tones louder it helps. Brand new phone, brand new OS...bound to be some bugs.
But yeah, the phone is useless without loud key tones.
thanks for this.. thought I was losing my marbles

I've had concerns about the volume on this device since i got it last week.
All tones and ringers are ridiculously low.
I tried the suggested audioguru app and have noticed a slight increase in ringer volume but thats about all.
Im surprised the forums are not flooded with posts about the low volume on the nexus.
Speaker volume is too quiet on galaxy nexus?
Fyi..
Volume+ works great and boosts the audio no probs. Just go up a level at a time.

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.

cheers.. ill give them a go
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.
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

Is there any app that would allow an un-rooted gnex to have louder volume over a wired headset for phone calls?
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.
so volume+ works great for me. i have it at +8 and sometimes up to +10 when i'm in the car, and i can hear the notifications just fine.
but the in call volume, even on the speaker, is still really low to the point where if i'm on the highway i can't hear someone even if they're on speaker unless i hold it to my ears.
probably going to get a bluetooth speaker for my car soon, but until then i want to just boost it.
i know volume+ has this boost incall volume by editing the build.prop but i have no idea what to do, and obviously don't want to screw anything up. so has anyone done that, or does anyone have another way of boosting the in call volume for both speakerphone and regular speaker.
Extremely interested in this myself.
I tried doing it with volume+ but it only ended up making it worse.
If anyone has done it successfully, please post how.
My in call volume raises fine with volume+

What did you set yours to? The choices are 0 - 100.
bumping this to hopefully get an answer.
bumping this again because i'd really love to actually be able to hear people when i'm not in a quiet room.
Did you try volume+ beta? It is a lot better than the one on the market. You can find it in the themes and apps section.
