I've just switched to SGS2 from Galaxy S 4G, and I'm really surprised that the volume of the loud speaker on gs2 is really low compare to gs4g. I'm on official ICS now. What's the best way to increase the volume? I don't mind rooting my phone at all. Thanks.

This app works for me to increase volume. I'm running Darkside Evo 3 with DSP manager though. Doesn't increase volume, but Iike the quality of sound through the headphones more.

Anyone know a way to increase system volume? It's too low even at full volume. I can't hear calls or text messages.

been away for too long and lost track of tricks to improve audio volume on Gnex, especially on notifications (not only music).
Anything new and really working?
Mostly interested in improving volume for notifications through external speaker.
Thanks
MegaBassBeats is the way.

Sorry but I must say a huge... NO
As an audio enthusiast, Beats must be the ****tiest sound I've ever heard.
There is/was an app called "Volume+" which is said to work pretty well. Though I can't confirm it.
Otherwise some ROM's and Kernels do have a bit of volume boost built in.

volume+ was working with ics but broke with jb...
plus I need only volume increase on ext spkr for notifications
I fixed mine with trinity kernel. They have an audio slider that helps with that.
On the topic of audio is there any way to control the gain of the mic when recording video?

I've been pretty pleased with Misledz's work over here. Works well for JB to improve audio quality and boost volume.

There is a pinhole-size notch in the top edge of the rear cover, toward the right side as you look at your phone from the back. Behind that is supposedly a second microphone that is used when recording video. There have been complaints that it is set far too sensitive, and garbles the audio in loud environments. I don't know of any way to adjust it with software. You could try reducing the MIC's sensitivity by holding your finger over the pinhole.
Hi guys,
How does everyone find the volume level with headphones? I find the galaxy s3 is far too loud on volume 1 to listen to. On my s2 I use fine volume control, but I hear it doesn't work on the s3 on jelly bean. Does it work on the note 2? Does siyah kernel work? As can reduce the volume in ex tweaks. Trying to work out which phone to buy, but they all seem too loud! Have tried different headphones too, and same issue. Thanks a lot guys

well of course kernel is neat, however I wouldn suggest volume boost. That comes with speaker buzzes. Anyway, stock is pretty loud tho.
if you're trying to reduce the volume, user poweramp for your music, then go into the equaliser, and drop the master volume amplifier (the adjustable bar on the far left) to the lowest setting to reduce the volume further.
alternatively, download any equaliser app and drop the master volume or drop all the eq frequencies to reduce the overall volume.
Thanks, power amp is indeed quieter. Just wish that it would work with dsp manager...

Why would you use dsp manager when poweramp has the best equalizer out there
Dafuq u r buying a phone just for a smaller volume level?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
No but it's a big factor for me. Power amp is ok, but to my ear dsp manager is noticeably better. I've bought some new headphones, not inner ear and this has helped with my issue greatly. Seems inner ears may just be too sensitive for android. Neutron with my new black box headphones seems perfect. Still looking at the note 2. Thanks for the help everyone, that Perseus kernel is really handy, as I still need to be Able to reduce the volume level in extweaks or something similar to minimum.

I'm wanting a good stable rom, that i can remove all the crap from like wallet and google +, and drop box, i don't use that crap.
Right now i'm running jellybomb, and it's OK but Sound sucks and isn't loud at all. even with the walkman it falls short of the stock sound.
when i has my #S almost all the roms had extreme volume, i've tried a few for the note 2 and none have increased volume.
so my main thing is i want a good rom with extreme volume and maybe a decent or as good as stock sound.
so which rom has extreme volume ? i could care less about fancy lock screens...
Go back to stock and use a custom kernel.
But am curious how is somthing like drop box crap?

On jellybomb you have the option to go on kernal tweak and adjust the volume I recommend unchecking the speaker and headphones equalizer raise the speaker volume to 7 and headphone to 59 dont do 63 cause it will sound distorted

^^ if your a HUGE fan of blue then jelly bomb is the rom for you. I personally think goodness rom is sickkk alot of options and the updater getting updated every day/week.

Good Rom = Best Rom.
Users are expected to read and learn by testing what developers provide. Best for one may not be best for another.

You pretty much need a custom kernel with sound mods so you can flash [MOD] [GNEX] BEATS+XLOUDER! 4.3/4.2.2 [11/08] ☆ Revamped! ☆
