Low Speaker Volume "Ringer/Earpiece"

Hey guys,
Quick one on ringing volume on the Gnex...so dam low! Can hardly hear it. The earpiece is only just acceptable also.
Any ideas??
Unrooted 4.0.2. Gnex
Thanks in advance! =)

Try this:
Volume+ Free - LINK
or buy it to make it even louder: Volume+ (Sound Boost) - LINK
If you ever root, use DSP Manager, a lot better then Volume+:
DSP Manager (Flash it) - LINK

I tried the free no noticeable difference so im hesitant to buy the full. Thanks anyway

you can buy it, and try it out. you have a 15 minute refund window.

yea I hate that 15 min window lol never seems enough time, they should at least give you an hour

Its says it currently doesn't work with ICS?? Hrmmm..
So it works on your Gnex??
Thanks guys. = )

this doesn't help with "in-call, earpiece" volume. i recall that this type of change had to be done at the kernel level. i had the same issue with my Nexus One and a kernel dev boosted the output tables (or something like that) in the kernel and it made a big difference. i was hopeful that Samsung's service codes could be accessed to change in-call volumes. however, those codes don't work on the Galaxy Nexus.

Hmm. Flashed dsp manager and now it force closes every time i try and open it. Any way to get it working or at least remove it?

This has been covered in depth. Install equalizer or volume+, and max out each frequency. Your volume will double for all audio, ringers, notifications, and music. But call volume will stay the same.

So it does work with ICS?

I used volume+. Out the box volume is low. For each setting i put it on the one after the *warning*. Does its job.

Equalizer is my favorite over volume+... and yes the both work on ice cream. Works excellent.

So its just called equalizer??
Does it have some other options over the earpiece also?
Thanks guys. I've thrown a few thanks hits around too. = )
Cheers.

Equalizer by smart apps. Great app.

I use volume + and works great. I got the paid version. These are my settings and its loud I have to turn my phone down at work cuz when it rings its loud as hell lol.

Cool man thanks for the uploads dude!!
So I'm trying g to decide without knowing what one works aswell as what one is better.....dilemma!! Haha.
Thanks again guys. = )

One other thing, is the Gnex speaker capable of going louder without damage??

also make sure you go to sound settings > music effects and choose volume +. a lot of people who don't notice a difference in volume have missed that essential step

[Q] Volume Boost Jelly Bean

Anyone gotten any form of volume boost to work with Jelly Bean yet?
The standard Nexus volume is bad enough but the new very nice sounding Text to Speech voice is also quieter than the old one.
I can barely hear Nav giving me directions with no radio on in the car anymore.
FYI, I already purchased Volume+ for ICS but it doesn't make any change to the volume in JB.

I have Volume+ and it definitely increased my volume!! I am on team liquid vicious v2 + franco 200 kernel. I have had no problems with it, so my advice is give that a try.

Volume+ is not working for JB. So quiet
edit: Correction it seems to be working for music, but not for notifications. Phyxis ring tone used to be LOUD for me!

Doesn't work for me. I'm on Liquid Vicious w/ Franco kernel. I have enabled it in settings and I can not tell a difference in any level.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

I just tested with Volume+ free and its working. CDMA Gnex, Liquid Vicious v2 with stock JB kernel. Toggling on and off with a song playing, so I'm sure its not placebo.

If you would like I could make a video of it obviously changing my max volume level. I have the paid version of volume+ and have CDMA as well.

I've seen varying results. I couldn't get it to work for me. One person said to make sure you check it in the settings under sound settings. Still didn't work for me. I did the volume hack in Franco.kernel app which worked.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

I will check but it sounds like the Team Liquid might be for CDMA? I'll go see if they have a GSM version as well. Also, I thought the franco.Kernel volume increase was only for headphones...guess I'll give that a shot as well.

It wasnt working at first, i gave up then i knew i restarted my phone a few times because i had to goto recovery to flash the proper Su.zip then i tried it again and it worked

Can you confirm that it is working SYSTEM WIDE? We all know it works for music apps, but It does not work for notifications/ringtones.... Neither does any other eq on the market.
Again, they all work for music but not for notifications/ringtones. I agree with the op, I am hearing impaired, and a long time android user. I can garuntee that these eq's are not working system wide, Maybe with app updates to conform to the api or some lib changes it will be working again, but until then we are stuck with low system wide volume.
Don't mean to be rude but the op is looking for help as am I and it does not help to come to these threads and everyone says "mine works fine" when in reality they do not understand what the op is asking.

+1 It drives me nuts when people oversimplify issues and mislead everyone. Just because a fix might work to increase volume for music, doesn't mean that it increases the volume for notifications, or ringtones, or anything else for that matter.

Ok- I tried both the Volume + and the Franco Kernel hack. It's really hard to compare them, but here's what I got:
The Volume+ app increases volume for music, but not for anything else.
The Franco Kernel hack increases volume for music, but it seems to be less than the Volume+ app. It might increase the ringtone and notification volume, but I can't really be sure- the change was minimal that it was hard to even determine if it even existed.
That being said, the change on both is minimal but exists, at least for music.

It is indeed working for music but not notifications!
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

I stumbled upon a temporary fix. I installed Volume+ and set the volume to +4. Then download Zeltus and search for "loud". Download the loudest ringtones and alarms and notifications you can find and use them.
EDIT: This fix does not raise the volume on phone calls.

What do we know about the JB low speaker volume?

So, many of you are aware of how abysmally low the speaker volume is on the phone after getting the JB update. Unfortunately all the information on it is scattered among several different posts and threads, and I just wanted to get some clear answers and use this as an informational post for others who are annoyed by this bug.
What, if anything, do we know about why it happens? Is there a definitive fix system-wide, or do I have to use volume boosting apps? I run franco kernel, are there going to be any compatibility issues with proposed fixes? I like using mostly stock JB, can I get a ROM that makes minimal changes to the original while still fixing the volume issue?

After randomly doing a search for volume fix a few minutes ago I saw this. Did search for same exact reason (gnex 4.1.1). Awesome beats (one of multiple equalizer apps) is said to work. I'm gonna try it in the morning (so as not to have a very annoyed girlfriend at 4am). There's probably a good amount more info on this. As for the last part..pure-ish 4.1.1 aosp Roms are very pleasing...like buttah lol.

If you have Franco.kernel, download his app from the play store (it costs a few bucks, not super expensive). In the settings tab there is an option to increase the max sound volume. I recommend setting it to 2; if you set it to 3 sometimes the sound will cut out on max volume.

I have no idea if this is correct information or not, so take it with a grain of salt, but I read earlier today in the Franco thread that that setting only affects the headphone volume, not speaker volume. I can tell you it does nothing for the volume on my GNex (speaker). I love this phone dearly, but I absolutely hate the low volume. I never have music on my phone, but I use the speaker phone multiple times a day while at work in my truck. I've yet to find a fix that actually increases the speaker volume on calls, and I've tried just about every ROM and tweak around. I'm beginning to think the people that swear some of these fixes work are just having a placebo effect.

It seemed to make my speaker sound louder, but I am also using it in tandem with the AwesomeBeats mod for AndroidMe ROM, so it might be one or the other.

I remember reading that too. It does nothing for my GNex speaker either. Volume+ works though. I just tried it yesterday. It definitely increases the volume but only so much before it starts distorting the sound pretty bad. But it is a godsend volume wise for sure.

The dev says it doesn't work with the system stuff (like ringtones, notifications, etc.) Works for music volume on JB though. Check it out, seems like a lot of people with various JB roms are using it successfully. It's kinda hard to be sure it's not working without trying it. I assure you..again..I'm using it..it works for music. Re-read what the dev said.

I try Volume+ on my jelly bean nexus. Only the music volume work, not the system volume (like ringtones). I missed so many call because the ringtone vol is not loud enough even at max vol level. I know I can install ROM, but I prefer stock right now.

There are no mods available as of now for boosting ringtone or notification volume for galaxy nexus on jelly bean. All the mods like awesomebeats/volume+ and also the default musicfx only work on music volume.
I have tried all the mods on all JB Roms which claim to boost ringtone volume, but none really work. The effect if at all is very marginal.
The problem lies with the way google has implemented Jelly Bean. The solution has probably go to come from them until one of the geeks here manage a workaround.
Lets see if volume+ developer manages to release a working version.
I am currently using volume+ on AOKP milestone6(ICS 4.0.4) to great effect.
There is no point in upgrading to JB unless the ringtone volume level problem is addressed. What is the use in owning a phone which you cannot here ringing.

Really need a stock solution. The reason I have the Galaxy Nexus is to avoid flashing madness with the stock experience. Is it a tracked bug?

Yup

If beats is no longer with HTC why still have the code for it. Also it stops boom sound from changing when toggled off.

I've got pretty good hearing and I'll go out on a limb and say, while the beats toggle may be there just enabling it in the xml file doesn't enable the one touch EQ profile know as beats. I think it's just some junk code in the GUI that was left from previous versions or never completed after the split with beats audio Inc. I'm kinda sad as I generally like the beats sound profile and feel it works well with all pop music genres with a conveniece of being 1 button push and done. Boom sound just sounds louder and more distorted to me.

Because that code is just one line in default.xml
and HTC tries to keep a rather common Sense 6 which just needs to be adjusted to the devices.

Also don't try to flash anything beats related or download the beats installer because it will bootloop your phone.
Maybe since sense 6 m7 has beats someone can port it to the M8 as long as it s only software needed.

i have M8 , but how can i find that .xml to true it

Harman kardan audio can also be enabled in that same default.xml but like beats, libs are missing, had no effect.

When the harmann/kardon phone is out and there imwill be a system dump someone for sure would take those libs etc or even zeroinfinity would made an awesome sound package with that

[MOD] [lux] Disable ascending ringtone

Annoyed by the fact that motorola is still proposing in each new device this irritating ascending ringtone I tryed to look into the system and found a fix
It seems to work for me, but let me know if it's ok in all your different scenarios and devices :good:
What's needed:
- TWRP recovery
Instructions:
- Download the "fix" zip and flash it through the TWRP
Download
Mirror
(NB: in the download section you'll find two files, one is the "fix" and the other is to revert to "stock" )
Please, let me know

Tested this fix on my Canadian (XT1563) Moto X Play on Koodo, and it works for the most part.
The volume for ringtones, alarms and notification begins much louder than they initially did before applying the fix, but it still seems to start off at a lower volume and ascend to the set volume level. However, this fix does actually make the initial volume clearly audible nonetheless so I will say, it could use some tweaking but is still, overall, a working fix. Thanks.
EDIT: To give more detailed feedback, I looked into the files and noticed the stock starts attenuating at 36 and moves through each of the 16 levels while gradually attenuating less and less at certain steps. The fix attenuates 0 across all 16 steps. However it sounds like it is still attenuating at approximately 3 or 4 at the first few steps then moves to 0 attenuation. Not sure why as the file clearly shows 0 attenuation across all 16 steps. Maybe it's just my ears not hearing it properly, or maybe it's the ringtone itself that has additional attenuation. I'm using the "Hangouts Call" ringtone.

Thanks for the feedback, I'll check that! I was happy with this result so I didn't compared the same sound from the music player and from a call.
If it's still not at the max volume I'll try with other settings/files when I have time

same problem here
