Call volume solution? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Okay. I don't care about the music volume or ringtone volume. I'm not looking for DSP Manager, Volume +, or BEATS. I have real hard time hearing while I'm on the phone. Even with speakerphone its so low. I've had galaxy s2 before the nexus and it was bearable. But the low call volume is the only thing I have to complain about. Is there any mods or tweaks that'll boost the call volume by any chance?

Extremely low keypress sound

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.

Ringer Volume OK, System Sound NOT OK

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

You don't need root for volume +

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.

Galaxy Nexus Speaker Volume

Ok so I switched from S2 to Gnexus. And alot of things are lacking when it comes to hardware but the most significant is speaker volume. Is there a way to tweak or mod the speaker volume for notification and incoming call ringtones. Perhaps an app? Thanks.
volume+ in the market or visit the devs site for the free full version.
The free version from market doesn't work but the one on the devs site does.
Once installed change your volume to +9 or +10 and enjoy the speaker the way it should have come.

Is Google going to release a fix, or is it a hardware limitation of the speaker?
I read Volume+ does increase the volume but then the sound quality isn't that great.

Equalizer app is a superb option free in the market and doubles the speaker volume. Just max out all bands.

it works fine for me, no distortions whatsoever.

anyone been able to raise IN CALL volume?

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.

Is the in-call volume actually that bad?

Not for me. I don't have any problems with it.

Bluetooth Headset Volume

Hi All is there anyway to increase the bluetooth headset volume? Ive tried using volume+ and flashing some of the Audio tools iin the Theme forum, but my bluetooth volume is still low on this phone. I can barely hear the other person on the other end. Any suggestions? Is there any way to get a better profiles? Im using a Motorola H385, it works fine on any other phone, but low on this galaxy s3.
Same here I have the Motorola Hx55 the volume was very high on my IPhone 4 but very low on my Galaxy Note 2. One thing I noticed is when playing music its very loud I have to turn it down but when in calls turned all the way up I barely can hear.
