Hi everyone,
I'm getting a nexus soon but while I was looking around in the forum,it seems that the gnex's speaker volume output is low.I know that volume+ can raise the volume but it's currently not supported in JB.I read that some kernels/ROMs do boost the volume but not as good as volume+,not to mention that I would hate restricting myself to specific ROMs/kernels just to have good volume on the speaker.The nexus is amazing phone due to the updates and developer support but low speaker volume is kinda like a deal breaker for me since I can miss a lot of notifications this way then I might just force myself to get the S3 I had an I9100G and volume was pretty nice on it.
PS:I hope my thread is not a spam/trouble/annoying thread but I had to post it because this determines which phone I'm getting so..yea

I didn't tried this phone on ICS so don't know if this is JB issue, but yes volume of external speaker is low compared to i9100 I had.
ROM I'm using now is androidme and I think he raised a little volume by default plus he have 2 mods to go when further, though I found the highest one distorted my music a little.
Right now I'm not using a mod on his newest And its fine. Okys this phone has a led notification that S2 didn't had so that helps too

Hi Mate,
New version of Volume+ works fine on Gnex Maguro with Jelly Bean. Volume+ works best with Bugless Beast JB ROM. As most other JB roms are based on CM, the sound starts crackling once you pump the volume to 10. I think any stock like AOSP rom is best paired with volume+.
Hope that helps you.
Cheers, Sumit

How did you get Volume+ to work with JB...On the devs website, this is what he says:
"It seems Google have completely removed the ability to attach the Audio Effects to the system output. I knew they were removing it but I assumed they would replace it with something better but it seems they removed it without offering an alternative. This means Volume+ no longer works for boosting Ringtones/Messages/E-mails, etc.
Will it ever work? No idea. Depends if there's any way around it." I guess it does work for music and such, just not system stuff...

The quote says it still works for music, just not system sounds. Oh well.
extremely disappointing

I love my gnex with jellybean, but the low volume is a really a killer Ive missed a few calls because it and you can't listen to videos in a noisy environment at all, guess well have to hope that a Google update addresses it.
There are only two things I don't like about this phone...the speaker and the vibrate...they are both much lower than my RAZR was, but the rest of the phone more than makes up for it...
Maybe use a pair of headphone but it gets kinda annoying at long term...
However your sure not to miss a single notification

My Gnex has completely gone mute
Bought my GNex from Play Store in US and got it shipped to india.
Have been encountering problem with loudspeaker from Day 1.
My phone's rear speaker stops working when:
1. Headphone is plugged in and then taken out.
2. Data cable is plugged in
3. Data cable is plugged out
4. Sometimes just like that... (no reason)
How i made it work again:
1. Plug in the headphone into the jack.. pull out a couple of times
2. Plug in the data cable move it up-down n left-right... it works
3. Just tap near the back of the phone with ur finger (near the speaker)
Also the volume levels keep changing as u move the jack or the data cable inside the socket.
Read somewhere like the OS is assuming that the headphone is connected n all... not sure if that is true...
Tried Wired Head Phone routing apps. the speaker worked for a few minutes, that's all.
Now... the phone's loud speaker has gone totally mute. It just refuses to speak... wat ever i do.
yup my dad realize too..very low speaker volume
is it can solve without root?
or will be solve on android 4.2?
anyone knows
Alright, guys. I hate starting a new thread for this question, but searching gave me a ton of different results and nothing specific.
Background: My biggest issue with my GNex (as it is for lots of people) is the low volume on the external speaker. Let me clarify...I'm not looking to make music/media louder. This is purely to make the volume louder on phone calls. Part of the time my job involves driving around in my work truck and I nearly always use the speaker phone while on a call. Since JB was released, I can't seem to get any of the traditional mods/apps to work that used to work on ICS.
So, what I'm looking for is this. I'd like recommendations, based on first-hand knowledge/use, of what ROMs/kernel combinations would allow for the greatest speaker volume on phone calls. I've tried a few different ROMs (MinCo, ParanoidAndroid, Codename Android, etc) and a couple of different kernels (Franco and Trinity), but I haven't seemed to be able to find the right combination for tweaking the volume to be louder.
Any help you guys can give me would be greatly appreciated! :good:
In-ear bluetooth will solve the problem, i never found the speaker phone on any phone to be loud enough.
I had the exact same concern as the OP, I needed loud speaker vol for calls for work. I tried CNA 3.3 + Trinity kernel stable and the vol is loud enough for me to actually have to turn it down sometimes lol. I'm trying CM10 official nightly now with its default kernel and it has loud speaker vol too but the CNA + Trinity combo still takes the cake imo.
There's also other roms/kernels that implement the loud vol fix for e.g Bugless Beast if you want to stay as close to stock as possible for the rest of the rom/features, but I haven't tried that one yet, on most rom threads you can quickly scan the features list to see if its addressed.
Let me know if you find something else that I can try too
I'd like an app solution to this also/ i've tried lots of things that claim to work in the play store.
First off, I'm not an active GNex forum viewer, I use a Galaxy S2S and rarely venture outside of it (except when I was on my HTC Bravo/Desire), I am asking to help a buddy.
I updated his GNex (Maguro) to Google's official Jelly Bean (4.1.1 Deodexed rooted) and he seems to have an issue with low in-call volume. It's rooted, CWM, and all that, using the GNex Tool. Everything works fine except the in-call volume, some calls would be fine, some would be extremely low. I was thinking it's a radio issue OR maybe just an issue with his provider (Mobilicity). He hadn't used the phone prior to upgrading to JB (was on stock ICS) so there was nothing to compare to.
Does anyone know what the problem could be or possible know a fix for it? I've done my homework and I found nothing that relates to this, mostly issues with the speaker.
Thanks in advance.
PS: Is there any modified radios (only) that would work with JB and Maguro?
I used to have Galaxy S, and never had problem with voice recognition on CM9 rom.
After changing to Galaxy S III, stock rom's S-Voice used to recognize my voice well.
However, changing to AOKP JB rom, the phone does not recognize what I speak.
I tried Google Now, and Voice Search apps, but it does not work any good.
It really really really sometimes recognize if I speak right in front of the mic and say outloud "AOKP"
then it understands only 'a' or sometimes it doesn't at all..
Anyone having similar problem like this? or is AOKP rom is not that stable with voice recognition?
hangouts dialer problems mic not working end call speaker not working
Hi,
I have a couple android phones and hangouts dialer works just fine on my rooted htc evo 3d. The galaxy s3 sprint phone has problems with hangouts dialer that maybe some one can help me with.
The microphone is not working again. Last time I did an update it stopped working so I uninstalled and reinstalled and it started working again. Today it will not work again and I tried reinstalling the app but it did not work.
The speakerphone and end call button will not work on the galaxy s3 sprint phone. when I select these items it takes me back to the main dialer page showing an ongoing call. I can not hang up and I have to shutdown the phone to end call. If I have bluetooth connected these end call and speakerphone buttons will work though.
Does anyone know what the problem is with the galaxy s3 on hangouts dialer? Maybe I should just stick to HTC phones for now on?
Same problem here. Only fix so far is using a Touchwiz ROM. Lame. Hopefully someone fixes this. Stay vocal and talk to the devs. Ive been trying to sort this out all month. No one is of much help, honestly.
STAY VOCAL.

on the latest CM11 and 12.1 (unsupported) I found that it activates the microphone on the TOP of the phone, rather than at the bottom. Not sure how to swap it around. Had to go back to stock
