[Q] Moto Defy with Loud Volume Hack

Hi Did anyone try the Moto Defy with Louder Volume Hack ? If yes, was there any difference?

it doesnt work on any Motorola devices

Did you find a Louder Volume solution for your Motorola Defy?
For me the other people are always a bit quiet in phone calls. I either have to ask them to speak up, or switch to speaker phone and blast everyone nearby with my conversation

Really? I had the voice call volume all the way up yesterday and it almost blew my ear off. In fact, it was so loud I thought I had the speaker phone engaged for a second.

Hi guys,
Thanks for answering. defy is actually a very good phone in terms of speaker / loudspeaker's amplitude, but always felt the absence of an equalizer (The media settings did not help much) - The Louder Volume Hack promised to do a good job of improving the bass frequencies without putting strain on the processor and hence the battery.
I used the app, but to say the truth I did not feel much difference. Also the app did not make much sense to me. Regarding the bluetooth sound, i felt a slight improvement after using the Louder Volume hack app.

+1 Even I thought that the speaker phone was on but found it off! Interestingly, I couldn't hear much when I moved the phone away from my ears!

In my t-mobile UK defy I have some equaliser settings in "Settings, Call Settings, Voice Quality" menu. See if you have that option?

i did adjust the voice quality setting to the one that says "seems louder" but it didn't make a noticeable difference, I still strugle to hear. Dunno if the european motoblur firmware is the issue? Or if phone carrier effects this? I will have to look into that volume hack.

[HOW TO] You don't need Volume+!

I turned my phone to full volume and played a sound in an application and noticed that it wasn't THAT loud.
So I opened the SETTINGS, Sound, Volumes, where there were three sliders, one of which is labelled "Music video, games & other media. The default postion of slider was about 33%. So I ramped it up to 100%, and guess what? The applications sounds were three times louder! The phone speakers are now LOUD.
Sorry if this has been reported before, but I hadn't noticed it so I thought others might benefit from reading this.

up all the way and too quiet for me without volume+

the default ringtones are far more quiet than the older ones btw, but volume+ helps.

All the 3 at max for me and still wasn't enough. volume+ did it for me!

The volume rocker by default only changes the phone (i.e. ringtone/notification) volume. When media is playing, the behavior of the volume rocker changes to control the media volume...

Ah, thanks for the replies with the more extensive explanations. So Volume+ is effective beyond the max volume.

Most of people's complaints about the speaker volume is in regards to notifications and ringers.

I made my own ringtone and amplified it using audacity. Its incredibly loud.

volume plus is the only thing that worked

now are most of you using volume+ with the stock rom or?

Stock rom here, but i and many others use equalizer by smarter apps, its excellent. Both apps though tie into the system audio api.

In most of my experiences volume is always an issue... in fact the only phone I know to be loud enough is the iPhone... Did Apple patent noise?

Same for me, not enough without Volume+

I cant get volume+ working With Codename rom and franco's kernel

I may be just bias, but my OG Droid put any and all iPhone's to shame regarding loudness of volume.

With volume+ my Gnex puts every other phone to shame

No noise patent I don't think - at least not yet. The iPhone was built from the iPod though, so they no doubt wanted to emphasize music from day 1.
That said, my Vibrant with Voodoo sound could get painfully loud. But only after installing voodoo.

I think so, but volume+ is not the only app you can use to get a louder speaker. I use a free and very basic equalizer with almost the same effect and with 1/6 of the size.
If you need more than that, volume+ is recommended and It's a very small app too (86k free version and 157k full).
One last thing: be careful. Start with a low volume or you can damage your speaker.

The iphone is far from being loud "enough." There are many phones that are louder, and can be made even louder with either voodoo or volume+

[Q] Galaxy nexus low speaker volume

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...

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

[Q] Bluetooth Volume

I am sorely dissatisfied with the BT volume on my G3. The volume in my car and on my bluetooth headset is DRAMATICALLY lower on my G3 than on my old GS3. Others have suggested apps to help boost the volume, such as Viper4Android. In my case, these apps do little to help with the volume.
Others are having the same issue:

Is this something that could improve with the lollipop update? Any other suggestions on how to boost the bluetooth volume?

Is there any real audio issue with Mi Max (Prime)?

Premise: I know I just opened another topic (but this is a completely different question) and that there are several articles (and potential "fixes") around on XDA and elsewhere, but I see people having the following issues and others not (especially in reviews)
Hi everyone,
I have a simple question: is Mi Max Prime suffering from low sound volume (i.e. below the average)? if yes, is that probleme so severe that - for example - you may not hear the alarm clock or a phone call in speaker mode?
I know there are a couple of fixes around but I also saw many people not solving the issue with those.
Thank you in advance

I would have to test and right now is night here. What sound? music? tone volume?
There is people that with earphones say is too low, but i can't turn up the volume, is too much strong for me.

Thanks again for your answer.
I'd say, testing any alarm (default one should work) and a pop song music (at your choice).
Here too is night. Feel free to do it when you have a moment

I'm a good guy to ask. Quite deaf, use my phone for an alarm clock. I can hear people when they "force" their voice in close proximity, otherwise break out the pen and paper if I don't have fresh hearing aid batteries.
Alarm clock (alarmy) scares me so bad I try to beat my rise time just to turn it off. Loud, oh hell yea, it's loud.
Talking on the phone I can just make out sounds, without my hearing aids. That's says good things about the phone, because normally I get nothing.
You can always root and edit the mixer_paths in system_ect. Done it many times on my Samsung phones, but as I say, no need (for me) on the Max.

Just got a Mi Max a few days ago, the ring volume I will call it just enough, The only issue is when I hear music with headphone and turn on the Mi Sound effect then the volume will drop a lot, I need to turn off the effect and re-plug the headphone to resume the volume.

The volume has gotten better since Miui 8 and it's good on my RR ROM. YouTube is hit or miss depending on the video you watch. A lot of videos are uploaded with low sound and some with louder sound. Everything else seems okay to me although nothing compares to the sheer loudness of the speakers on my Nexus 6P.
