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?

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.

Does anybody knows if this ear buds works with galaxy nexus ? To listen to music and use the mic.

The only in-line device on earphones that will not work with Android devices is volume up-down buttons but single button(play, pause, skip, etc..) and mic will work.
If your going to buy a higher quality set of earphones I would also recommend buying power amp and adjusting the EQ however you like it, it really makes your music better

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

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.
I used Semaphore on my captivate and it had settings to boost the volume, I use the phone for work purpose and I am already struggling to find a headset ( over the head + wired with mic ) but I need a kernel which will bump the volume
Please suggest
None exist

Just use volume+ app. Itll work wonders. No root needed either. Allows you to adjust external speakers, headphones, bkuetooth, and in-call. You can boost volumes on all of them. It works very well. I use it on all my mobile devices.
V + doesn't work on mine for headphones.. level never does up

Same thing for me, Volume + doesn't work with headphone volume, but works ok for speaker.
I really need to find a solution, even Dice Player 's volume boost doesn' t work on my Bell SG3 (I747M)
Try an older cm10 build, the earpiece volume was deafening... Lol

Is it possible? I find the Stock kernel to be most stable and fast, but the low audio output on headphone especially for some formats forced me to use some custom kernels. But I ultimately came back to stock kernel today. So is there any way to boost the headphone and speaker volume without the help of a custom kernel? Any app or anything? I'd really like to have one!
I can always change the gain.dB file but it's needless to say it's a weird process in middle is something, especially while you're watching a movie or something. So that slider is needed, preferably in an app, so that it could be changed on the fly. Should've the range from 55-63 dB for speaker and 50-63 dB for headphones and all.
Thanks in advance.

Speakerboost from the play store is what I use,I'm not rooted, but find this helps with making all the sounds louder.

How could you increase the speakerphone volume with it mate? If I enable speaker then the speaker volume increases indeed, but only when I'm playing a movie or music, but the ringtone volume is unchanged at any settings! Is that how it works?

Yeah thanks pal, but I really didn't wanna go the custom kernel way.
So this mod won't work for increased ringtone volume? I don't know, but even the lock screen sliding effect sound is boosted a lot but why not the ringtone!

Buddy please Disable the increasing ring tone with Xposed Framework or SF or an app from Google play that will boot your Phone sound.

For past three or so months I've disabled that thingy, actually I haven't, I think ARHD comes with it being disabled by default. That's why when I enabled it in Xposed didn't notice any difference.

i am not sure if this will boost speaker volume, but you can try it out, my headphone volume increased a lot after using it.

Hope i helped
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.
