I've got two Bluetooth speakers (Jambox and a Rocketfish), Bluetooth ear buds (plantronics), and a UConnect system in my car stereo and the volume of my Note is way too low on all of them despite me having the volume turned all the way up and using the Volume+ app (this app helps a bit, but still too low in my opinion). All of my audio gear has had acceptable output from my previous phone (EVO4G LTE).
Anybody know of any good fixes for this?

I noticed the same problem, if you find a solution I'd like to know.

I was testing the phones speaker last night by playing a bit of a song and maybe i'm just overreacting but I don't feel my phone is as loud Any more so does using the phones speaker at high volume decrease the phones volume?

To get the full power of external speaker, you need to have a dock station for E4GT. What I mean is something like Samsung car holder for E4GT. It has the usb connect port and speaker jack. Connect your external speaker thru this jack and turn on the settings > System > Dock > use external speaker option.
When you connect your external speaker jack to your phone's jack, the sound quality is not good because the output power is not enough to support the external speaker. Also sound quality is not good because it's amplifying the low signal to external speaker.
If the sound quality is important, using dock station would be the best way and don't use the speaker jack on the phone. Use the speaker jack on the phone adapter.
Im taking about the speaker on the phone.

It's upto you. What I tried to talk about was, who's talking the amplifying task.
1. Car dock - both phone and speaker
2. Phone speaker - nothing
3. Phone jack to external speaker - external speaker
Im so confused. Im not using a dock or anything just the phones speaker

Sorry for that. The information above was just related to listen clear music. Never mind about the dock station.
Going back to your topic, it's not clear - which one is which from the volume control in settings.
The easiest way to control all kind of volume is by installing the volume control app.
There is one app can be used to control on-call volume, speaker phone volume, almost everything. Check this link -

Not my question either.

Yes, listening to music on high gain *for an extended amount of time* will eventually bend and extenuate the speaker cone or produce small imperfections and tears, but it should not happen from one song.
One possible answer is a defective speaker. Also not all music is going to play at the same levels, due to the differing encoding types and qualities of files.
A repair store can replace just your speaker, I did it many times a day. It never hurts to go have it looked at.

Doesnt music automatically play from the phones speaker anyway? Not like its coming from the earpiece

Yes. That is the basic premise of a speaker. What did this have to do with the conversation?

Hi All,
I listened to a Note 2 today using my Bose QC15's though the sound quality (clarity) is way better than my Note 1, it still does not have the output volume of the Apple devices ( I have had to keep a iphone for music purposes). I'm quite disappointed. Running volume at max is just not loud enough.
It seems all Android phones have this issue. I have tired all kinds of software solutions with the GN1 but never got the sound quality or volume I desired.
Anyone with the note 2 found a solution?
Install:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...m1vYmkub21lZ2FjZW50YXVyaS5TcGVha2VyQm9vc3QiXQ..
On the device start the Music player >Settings>Sound Alive>Custom>Extended>Bass to 3>Room Size to 2>Claeity to 1.
The subject line really got my attention because just last night my wife and I were talking about how loud tgis phone is. Hands down louder than any other I've ever owned. I even had to lower the volume because at max it was blaring.

I've had no issues with the volume. It causes the whole phone to vibrate due to how loud it is. Maybe you have an option ticked somewhere?

Can't you just up the volume on the Bose?

Use an external headphone amp. Fiio is great.

if your phone rooted, then increase db value of headphones via default_gain.conf /system/etc

...so, according to your logic, a phone can vibrate due to the loudness of a pair of headphones. xD
In any case, I'm wondering if this issue is related to Jellybean and all... Seems to be a common problem that is shared between various devices. 0_0.
I recommend to ditch the bose crap tbh. They're good speakers but dire headphones. Take a look at the Sennheiser HD range. I recommend the 598's or 558's if on a budget.

Once voodoo Sound finds our device, the Sound Quality will be best possible, since we have the wolfson dac! Same as i9000 (afaik).

I doubt about that. Supercurio sayed that s3 will get voodoo sound but after 3 months still no info....
Great replies!
I'll try the volume boost app. I had tried volume + amongst others but always found the sound quality degraded badly.
The suggestion regarding the fiio amp, yes for my note 1 already have a fiio e11 which is amazing and can drive any headphones but carrying a GN1 or 2 with it rubber banded to the back is simply too bulky.
Getting rid of the bose qc15? I commute 3 hours a day, and fly regularly so the noise cancellation is a god send, I've tried many alternatives but never found a better solution.
There is no doubt in my mind that the note, both 1 and 2 are the best phones out there. Way more useful and fun than an iphone, I just wish Samsung would sort out the volume level through headphones as it is the one area which I feel is compromised.

You're wrong. There has been a port for both S3 and the Note 2. S3 was by Gokhan, siyah kernel and now the Note 2 by Andrei, Perseus kernel. It's script based

Samsung have put a limit to 55db on max volume, if want louder, root and change the limit. Or use sounds apps and boost the volume.
For me its loud enough, too high volume can damage you ears in long terms listening and either I got good ears. Or peoples have damage theirs ears by iPhones volumes already.

I just wanted to post that the above mod perfectly sorted out the volume issue.
Using the 57 values has made me extremely happy with the volume levels.
Now with the volume, quality dac inside the GN2 and a good global equaliser it far exceeds the experience of my Iphone for music.

The speaker is loud, and frankly quite amazing, but the problem is with headphone volume.
I'm using Sennheiser PXC450s and WMA files are not quite loud enough for me on max volume. Most MP3 files are loud enough, in fact max volume is too much. However this is with zero ambient noise. Sound clarity is very impressive.
Anyone been using them?
I have been using the Jabra Halo 2 bluetooth headset, and they work great on the Note 2.

I use WM600, it's good for listening to music, but the microphone sucks, sot it's bad for speaking, too noisy
I use a jabra bt3030, you can use any headphones you want with it. Sound quality is more than passable, battery and range are good too. Highly recommended.

I've got this http://www.futuresoundlab.co.uk/
Its got media buttons which i thought sends normal commands like a multimedia keyboard on windows does, but no!!!!!!!! found out it needs to be supported by the app which i find is silly. it works great on poweramp but nothing on deezer
The only grip i do have is when im connected although all the audio streams go through the headphones, the ringtones, notifications, system sounds go through the speakers. So if i mute them, which i have to cus im at work. I dont hear them through my headphones. Any suggestions?
I just realized that my note 3 is having some odd problems with my bluetooth speaker that is less than a month old. When i pair note 3 to speaker the volume is extremely low where i can hardly hear coming out the speaker, but when i pair my note 3 to a different bluetooth speaker it works fine and if i pair a different phone/ipod/macbook to my speaker the volume is fine, i have a high feeling the speaker is perfectly fine due to being very new. And it only has problems with the note 3 , will any one help me out or has same issue via bluetooth with their note?

I can say I did have an issue initially with a new car radio I bought. My issue was in my radio though.
Since its just the note that your having issues with I would start there. Not sure what rom your running, volume mods, etc. But check all the settings. Maybe install a kernel that has volume adjustments along with it

I prefer high quality in-ear type headphones. They block outside noise and also sound better (to me). They are also safer for your hearing, because you can play them at lower volumes that other types of headphones. Of course, headphones are a very personal thing and not everybody likes the in-ear type.
I figured it out myself dam Im mad happy my ****s mad loud lol.I got the skullcandy navigator headphones,viper4android and the file I modified sounds like Im in a club ?
