Hey all. I came from the photon 4g. I am looking for an app to boost volume when I play music. Any ideas as to what I can use? Thanks.

I personally like using Volume +. Has worked great for me on every ROM but CM10. didn't seem to make a difference on it :silly:
I have noticed on alot of threads that alot of people like PowerAmp. I myself have never tried it. The is also Awesome beats. Its like Beats audio. Search for it. I would post a link but Im kinda short of time to find it myself. Good luck sir.
PowerAmp is just a music player with a nice built in equalizer, but because it is an EQ, and does not affect tye actual oower output of the hardware, it will eventually cause distortion. I use PA, but I keep the EQ in check and do not use it to make it louder.
Volume+ has always been a terrible thing for me, causing audio skipping and distortion.
Beats is an EQ, and I think it sounds like garbage.
What we need is something like Voodoo sound, like we had on the Epic4G. It is a kernel modification that works at the hardware level to increase power output.

Have you tried speaker boost into he play store? I use it and it makes the sound louder!

I have no luck finding an app that can help my speaker sound better, downloaded a couple of EQ apps but the sound was bad, did you guys know any app out there that could make the sound of the speaker be great?
Volume+ ...... you can use it to control EQ. works pretty well

Yeah Volume+, just like the other 20 threads about this recommend.

Well, first I did say that Volume+ and 4.0.4 but then I editted it because I realized you were asking boosting of sound quality.
4.0.4 does address the problem with speaker being too low. I don't even need Volume+ anymore, but I keep it anyways just incase I need to bump it up even louder although I don't think it's necessary.
The app comes with a equalizer that you can play around with to make quality better. The app itself is free (legally) on the dev's website if you want to give it a trial run before buying. Just go to the Volume+ page and visit the dev's website as its linked on that page
Riddle me this: how is it that an application like "Lookout Mobile Security" can make my phone scream with a loud volume but when I go to play some media or music on my Nexus it is so soft? What is "Lookout..." doing that no other app can replicate in getting a decent volume?
You must remember, its playing a sound designed to be loud and heard, not a low quality song.

I have noticed when I first got my GN that the speaker volume was pretty weak for videos/youtube/music... whatever really. I use high quality mp3 (320 bit rate) for all my music btw.
There are some apps to help with this of course.
1) Volume+ works great and would fix your problems of low volume alone.
2) If you're really into modding your phone. franco.Kernel Also has options to increase volume and improve sound quality.
I use both of them and the sound quality on my GN speakers is what I prefer now. Sounds great. I know it sucks to have to buy apps to improve something that should be granted out of the box for such a high end phone but it is what it is.
All Galaxy Nexus kernels have sound boost in them.

I do have volume + (free) and it does nothing I can tell, to enhance the sound,,, but If I purchase the app, you say there is a difference?
Volume+ definitely works with the paid version. Or I just use equalizer which works and is free.

I have the paid one, so I can't speak to the free one. I just set the speaker volume to +10 on my GN and it sounds really stronger then stock.
Also description on Free:
A Cyanogen Mod 7 or MIUI ROM is HIGHLY recommended. Running this app on a Stock ROM/Kernel may result in it not working, being far too quiet, or getting even quieter. PLEASE don't comment or rate badly if you are on a Stock ROM as this is most likely the problem.
Thanks.

I have noticed the newer AOKP builds 37/38/39 have much louder sound. Not sure if it is the AOKP Build or the new version of Lean Kernel, but I did notice my alarm is much louder than before.
Does anyone feel like poweramps bass is always too strong or is it just me? I've been usingpoweramp for a very long time and my equalizer is set to how I like it but lately even with all the bass settings to the lowest, bass is always too strong and it messes up the song. I thought it was my headphones but when I connected my phone to my car which also has an equalizer saved specifically for it the bass was too powerful. I just tried apollo and it seems to be a lot better. Is anyone else having problems with poweramp bass?

custom rom / kernel = voodoo sound
you could try going a different route for bass... voodoo sound, if you haven't already.
we have one of the best sound chips for any phone in our Epic 4g's, and it can use a special kernel-level sound driver, voodoo sound.
for voodoo sound to work, you need to run a voodoo sound enabled kernel (effsi makes one, compatible with CM 10.1 and/or slim rom, the two best Epic roms IMHO.
then with that in place, you can run voodoo sound (free) from play store. it has a bass adjustment setting that works at the kernel level, so applies to all programs I believe, and in a different way then regular EQ like in poweramp.
BTW, another program to check out for audio that is supposed to make MP3 sound better, by using more CPU to over/extra sample, is Neutron MP. I can hear a noticable difference playing music through it, and bought the pay version. I am on monster turbines, with custom fit made earplugs from Radians custom mold plastic ($10, google).
Ya I'm pretty sure poweramp has something to do with it because I tested it on my cousins epic who had the same bass problem as me with his headphones and regular speaker and apollo doesn't have a blown out bass or the disorted sound.
I already use voodoo and know that it effecs my headphones but I understand what the problem that I'm having is. I'm pretty sure poweramp is my problem but I'm not sure why exactly.

Neutron MP really sounds different from the rest, thanks for the heads up!
Anybody running an aftermarket eq or dsp pack? Looking to improve the audio. Tried a beats apk and it would only work intermittently, switched to player pro with the dsp plugin and audio is a little better. On my one x plus i had the viper rom with beats audio and it sounded great and had a bunch of different headphone profiles built in. Id like to get something like that again. Anybody found something that works. I am rooted on the at&t model if you need to kno.

Improve Audio?
I think Poweramp still the king
With tuning at Equalizer and Tone
audio quality sucks on every Qualcom chipsets... that makes me to come back to my iphone
I just downloaded Equalizer from Smart Android Apps last night. BIG improvement to the sound quality, and the "Unlocked" version is only two bucks.
So I picked up my LG3 for sprint over the weekend. Loving the phone so far, coming from a HTC one M7. Definitely prefer the G3 in every aspect however one thing I noticed is the headset volume is not as loud. Which sucks because I use my phone at the gym and it's a big difference from the HTC one. Is there an app that you guys would recommend to solve this issue? I saw someone mention the Beats Audio app, but can't seem to find it...
OR am I stuck until we can get a root and load a kernel to fix this?

Which headset/earbuds are you using?
Which music player are you using?
I use PowerAmp for Android (I also purchased the unlocker).
This app has hands down the best equalizer/booster/settings for any aspect of listening to music.
Try the free version, if it has solved your problem you may consider buying the unlocker.
Hope this has helped you out

Thanks Man,
I can use the stock music player it comes with since it has an equalizer as well and noticed it does make it louder. However, I mostly stream through soundcloud and so the equalizer doesn't have an effect on that.
There are also equalizers that will alter all the sound coming out of the phone.
No matter what the audio source is.
This app does that, you might give it a try.

You can change all the audio settings using ViperAudio search XDA and you will find the page, i have used this and doubles the volume and clarity, must have android mod..
I am using klipsh ear buds and they are super loud. Hurts my ears to go past about 75%. And I don't have sensitive ears either. I have a jl w7 13.5 which blasts my ears about 2 hours a day
