Volume issues - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II

First my phone is telus note 2. My problem is that I'm a truck driver and usually have truck running especially lately at night so there's lots of ambient noise. When I try to watch YouTube videos etc with my phone plugged into the aux on the truck stereo I have to turn it to at least 28 or 30 out of 35 to hear anything providing the audio on the video is good. I've tried volume in settings with no avail. I know it's not the cable or stereo because my Acer A500 works like a charm I only need to turn stereo to max 22.
What are my options besides apps like speaker boost? I've also found a post during my search that had a file u need to either edit or download and overwrite that increases headphone jack. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. I should also add I never had a problem with my desire hd either.
Thanks again

Honestly I've seen this MOD. As it's modifying the build prop. In order to raise the vol.
It's been out for awhile now, and I actually did that mod manually. Entering in the line for, what was needed..
But TO me personally VIPER4ANDROID :thumbup:
surpasses that by all means. If you haven't tried it yet. Don't knock it till you do. Trust me you'll be amazed at the sound.

Low Speaker Volume "Ringer/Earpiece"

Hey guys,
Quick one on ringing volume on the Gnex...so dam low! Can hardly hear it. The earpiece is only just acceptable also.
Any ideas??
Unrooted 4.0.2. Gnex
Thanks in advance! =)
kind of hoping someone gives us a clue. Thats my only slight gripe low speaker volume, I thought one of the updates had a supposed fix but im here with 4.0.2 and nothing

Try this:
Volume+ Free - LINK
or buy it to make it even louder: Volume+ (Sound Boost) - LINK
If you ever root, use DSP Manager, a lot better then Volume+:

I tried the free no noticeable difference so im hesitant to buy the full. Thanks anyway
you can buy it, and try it out. you have a 15 minute refund window.
yea I hate that 15 min window lol never seems enough time, they should at least give you an hour
Its says it currently doesn't work with ICS?? Hrmmm..
So it works on your Gnex??
Thanks guys. = )

this doesn't help with "in-call, earpiece" volume. i recall that this type of change had to be done at the kernel level. i had the same issue with my Nexus One and a kernel dev boosted the output tables (or something like that) in the kernel and it made a big difference. i was hopeful that Samsung's service codes could be accessed to change in-call volumes. however, those codes don't work on the Galaxy Nexus.
Hmm. Flashed dsp manager and now it force closes every time i try and open it. Any way to get it working or at least remove it?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
This has been covered in depth. Install equalizer or volume+, and max out each frequency. Your volume will double for all audio, ringers, notifications, and music. But call volume will stay the same.
So it does work with ICS?
I used volume+. Out the box volume is low. For each setting i put it on the one after the *warning*. Does its job.
Equalizer is my favorite over volume+... and yes the both work on ice cream. Works excellent.
So its just called equalizer??
Does it have some other options over the earpiece also?
Thanks guys. I've thrown a few thanks hits around too. = )
Cheers.
Equalizer by smart apps. Great app.
I use volume + and works great. I got the paid version. These are my settings and its loud I have to turn my phone down at work cuz when it rings its loud as hell lol.

Cool man thanks for the uploads dude!!
So I'm trying g to decide without knowing what one works aswell as what one is better.....dilemma!! Haha.
Thanks again guys. = )
One other thing, is the Gnex speaker capable of going louder without damage??
also make sure you go to sound settings > music effects and choose volume +. a lot of people who don't notice a difference in volume have missed that essential step

Thread to increase all values of volume within phone!!

HELLO GUYS..
IM making this thread a little different then the others...This thread is designed to mod out the DEFAULT_GAIN.CONFG FILE...to everyone needs..I will attempt to help you all by making more specific mods to suit your needs,And we can help each other as well. Instead of this just having it increase all your volumes...I figured most just want one or two within it...like just "incall" speaker level.....or whatever else..
The Default_Gain.conf is located in SYSTEM/ETC
First off this is the "default" file in case you mess up or just need it.
http://www.mediafire.com/?qz8qo3oefx11r4e
When applying this file...SAVE YOUR OLD DEFAULT_GAIN.CONF FILE SOMEWHERE .... TAKE YOUR NEW FILE AND PUT IT IN SYSTEM/ETC SET PERMISSIONS AS THE OLD ONE...REBOOT AND MAkE A TEST CALL..USALLY VOICEMAIL IS EASIER...
Thanks to Edgabimbam and his thread for a reference.. Found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1931970
PLEASE HIT THANKS IF THIS HELPS !
THIS IS MODIFIED FILE SECTION:

2.(Incall earpiece & Incall loudspeaker] 59 level

ALSO INCASE YOUR NOT AWARE THERE ACTUALLY IS A INCALL BOOST FOR YOUR EARPIECE....WHEN CALLING OUT...LOOK AT THE SCREEN ONCE IT CONNECTS..THERE IS A LITTLE VOLUME BOOST BUTTON WHICH INCREASES IT..MANY ARENT EVEN AWARE OF THIS...before applying this mod you may want to consider this???.
I'm happy with everything on mine except headphone volume. I'm almost exclusively on bt, which is fine, but have my earphones for when the bt dies, and the volume is very low.
Edit- your a busy fella, appreciate what you do for the community.

Ok..if your incall earpiece was to loud...I can show you what to edit...so you text test and play with settings...?...look for the proper field..then change the output level. Stock is usally 53... changing it a few up..will help big time..anything over 60 will get the crackle sound....heres some screen shots so you can try out different tweaks yourself...you may enjoy learning..
Heres where you can edit some cids..for example in this screen**** was incall earpiece....underneath it is incall speaker...which is the loud speaker.

[Q] Microphone sensitivity on Note2 GT-N7100?

is there an option, on some app, mod, ROM that i can reduce the sensitivitiy of the microphone itself so that my baby(note2) can record music on a reduced level so that kicks and snares on a drum dont pop out, click on the speakers?????
... i use it for info recording ideas of my garage band... nothing serious, i dont need to be perfect, just one the sound of each instrument to be recognizable, so we can develop the music idea that we recorded later...
i used to do it on the iP4 and it had better recording capabilities in the native recorder that comes with iOS , there were no such problems of that kind...
thats about ONLY thing i resent on my gt n7100 ... :crying:
anyone??
here are the recordings with iphone 4 and galaxy note 2 in the same booth, room that we are practicing... the sound difference is unrealistic... its like galaxy note is some cheap crap ... it has better bass recognition but overall ip4 wins easily...
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/rgtbyn8poiw7h75/t_PGFzwQFS
**** REMOVED the LINKS***
the folder contains two small mp3 songs of 20 sec cca each...
anyone again? help
I've been looking for the opposite, in my case the problem is that I need more sensitivity. I've been looking for kernels and apps and so far I've just found one kernel that implements microphone gain tweaking via four modes of operation:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2000328
I have to say that I tried it but had no luck, the mentioned modes didn't work. Switching modes only made it more unresponsive, to the point that i had to yell to get heard.
I'll be watching that thread for the next version. Maybe it works for you.
BTW I'm on 4.1.2 stock.
tnx 4 the reply man eventhough it was not heplful, but tnx!
im on 4.1.1, stock, and i cant belive that there is kno one here that can write some information with sense about this, im not expecting someone to solve this out, just to say is there is something like that in development or maybe it already exists. This forum is full of genius people but no one can help me...cant believe it...
I advise you to stay in tune with that NEAK kernel I posted about above. One of the mic operation modes is intended for very noisy places like concerts, so it seems to fit on your purpose of recording with your band.
I can't post outside links due to my poor post history. Google for "uNEAKWolfsonAudioControl" Have a look at that info. It's the audio tweaks included in that kernel. I insist it might help you once the bugs in kernel get solved (hopefully next version).
Cheers

[Q] Volume Boost / Increase

Hi There,
I have a Galaxy Tab3 7.0 and I'm wondering how I can go about increasing the headset volume? Even at 15, it's still pretty low for me. I've tried a few of the volume boost apps on the app store but none of them work.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!
Also looking for the same. Viper worked for me, but caused massive distortion even with modest settings. On the plus side, with an EQ running I find that sound quality is great via the headphone jack, it sounds nice in my car.

My bad - to clarify, I am not using Viper and don't recommend trying it, due to the distortion (which let me know that it technically worked). It sounds great in my car- without Viper - partially because my car stereo adds a 18db boost.
I dunno if this will help, but I found this volume hack/mod for the galaxy s4. I have this installed on my phone, but I dunno If this will work on the tablets. It is a flashable zip file... If any of you brave people wanna flash and confirm if this works on the tablets that would be awesome

[MOD] Volume Boost for Headphones, Earpiece, Bluetooth, and Speaker. JB/KK/G3 Roms

AS OF NOW, THIS IS UNSUPPORTED, IF SOMEONE WOULD LIKE TO TAKE OVER DEVELOPMENT FEEL FREE TO, MAKE SURE CREDIT IS GIVEN TO ME AND IXNYNE. EDITING THE FILES WITH A TEXT EDITOR WORKS BEST. HAVE FUN!!! EMAIL ME @ [email protected]
Hey everybody, I just made some Headphone volume boost scripts, all are tested and work, though some may damage your hardware.(Continue reading)
These are flashable zip files that will work on any recovery.
They range in digital volume from 62-68 for now. And range from 19-20 in digital volume. (63/19 only)
They are safe to flash for the most part, but values above 65 for digital volume MAY damage hardware.
How to install:
Download and flash in CWM, TWRP, or Philz
Downloads: Below
-Slight boost, choose 62/20, 63/19, 63/20, or 64/20
-Medium boost, choose 65/20- Some devices may clip at high volume.
-High boost, choose 66/20- Some devices may clip at high volume.
-Experimental Extreme boost, choose 67/20 or 68/20- use with caution! May damage hardware.
I would recommend 63/19 for iPhone like sound. Or 64/20 for loud sound, without distortion.
Aosp earpiece boost and stock earpiece was removed, they didn't work correctly, use new earpiece and Bluetooth boost!
Remember:
I am not responsible if your phone explodes, creates a nuclear weapon, makes your ears bleed, or if it stops working.
If you say I broke your phone, I will laugh at you. Please advise!
Bugs: None reported... Yet.
Please tell me if anything is wrong!
Thanks,
willi_3609
P.S. this is working best on KK Roms. And new Earpiece and Bluetooth boost are out!!!
Thanks to iXNyNe for the base files!

was looking for this a long time ago.. i flashed 2 files yesterday from some1 who posted other volume boosts as well but having a more wide option available is amazing....
If i an not mistaken , we can flash multiple files one after the other, correct ?
example.. i want to boost Head phone and speaker .. so flash Headphone6520.zip followed by Speaker66.zip ? or would Speaker66.zip overwrite Headphone.zip changes ?
As i understand it both files just modify Mixer_paths.Xml, so multiple flashes would just be overwriting the same file?
Thanks for the mod !
You can use both.

It just modifies them, you can flash both speaker and headphone, no need to wipe anything either!
Can anybody test somethibg out for me.
I need somebody with an AOSP based ROM to test my Earpiece zip. That would be great, ui need to know if it works on the D80x models
It should boost earpiece volume as that is the only lower value, but I would be thankful to have someone test it and report back to me. Thanks.
@willi_3609 Thanks for this..
i ve flashed some of them.. it works fine with cable headphone but bluetooth headphone is not as loud as cable headphones..
Would be much better if bluetooth headphones could sound like same as cable headphones

question: when i already have a volume mod flashed then i flash another kernel, the volume mod flashed will dissappear right? so need to flash the boost again..? ?

Answer: Its actually not about kernel.. But yes. It can help..
I ve tried many rome and mods .. Its definitely changeable.. Last time i ve tried sony walkman on my g2 (cloudy g3 rom) was the best sound with bluetooth.. It was as loud as cable..
but cloudy's rom wasn't good enough.. (heating) therefor i had to change it..
So one thing i m sure is bluetooth sounds can be changed..
Cm integration
Hey OP can you look at possibly getting this working with cm11. I know there are other mods that say they help with those volume issues but I've yet to find one that gives stock like or close to stock results. Thanks!
it already works.

This works with all Roms, cm, aosp, stock, everything.
It just edits a file already present in the Roms.
