Sound volume mod for system and headphones - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has anyone come across the sound mod to boost the system including headphones I have it on my s5 with viper and sounds great I just preorder the lg g3 but don't see any mods yet

You can just use viper to raise the volume, isn't that enough?

The headphones already are given more juice so that alone may be enough.

Believe me... Received this device yesterday and its not needed.. Loud phone!

I hope so on my s5 viper is not enough sounds great with both on s5 can't comment on lgg3 but I know the lg glad 8.3 viper is not enough

Terrible Audio Playback

Have any of you experienced terrible audio quality (Tinny sound-sorta like the treble is too high) and a very slight hiss when listening to music on the headphones? Ordered 2 phones from AT and T and both of them have the same issue. I am still debating whether this is an issue or is just the way the phone is.
I had a Tmobile G2 previously and the audio quality when listening to Pandora and other internet radio apps was simply awesome. This is especially disturbing to me as I am absolutely thrilled with the phone in other aspects. Based on your responses I will decide if I want to return the phone to get a replacement or simply get the HTC One X.
FYI I have the AT and T Samsung Galaxy S3 with stock ROM from AT and T.

I have found that equalizers are very helpful. Try a few from the Play Store.

Thanks Gberg. I tried the equalizer app, didnt do too much to alleviate the issue. I will be trying a friends phone to see if it has the same issue to decide.
I checked a friends S3 and found pretty much the same results. It is very much possible the audio playback sound quality is not as good as some of the other phones.
Will be trying a more expensive headset.
Also, Can anyone let me know if rooting the phone and installing a custom rom would make any difference to the sound quality?

Yes...other roms can help/hurt audio as they replace/tweak audio libraries. Cyanogen Mod includes a DSP app. Another thing i have done that helps a lot is to install awesome beats. check the apps and themes forum for installation instructions...of course you must have root.
Hope this helps. Oh BTW..i'm using the Bose MIE2's. While i'm not a huge Bose fan generally....I have found them to be quite satisfactory with equalization.
Try equalizing with DSPManager I know it comes with Gapps on jelly bean it features bass boost and like I said before equalizer that may help or it could just be the device/defected.

Be sure you are on latest version of android that is 5.1 then root your phone and install Viper4android app/equilizer then install busybox . Grant root acces and install drivers from Viper4ANdroid and enjoy.

[Q] Sound volume of HTC One M9

Hi everybody, i will soon buy HTC One M9 so i am interested in one thing:
How loud speakers are on the M9?
Because loudness is very important to me because me and my team like to listen alot of music while out.
Are they louder than my friends Galaxy S3? i know they are more quality but i want them to be alot of louder than Galaxy s3 becasue he always tells he has loudest speaker of all of us, so i want to blow him away

M9 seems to have the loudest speakers on commerce, and not only loud. Check video comparison on internet. (Definitely more powerful than your s3).

If your phone is rooted
Go to play store and search for viper4android. In the playstore the app will have a ton of Chinese in it. But when you download it, it is in English. This will make your phone a whole lot louder and it will sound cleaner!

I find the quality and loudness of the M9 speaker is far superior to ANY of the Galaxy S series. My mate has the s6 and i had the s4 and my sister has the s5, and it's much better. Louder, better sound quality. It's great, and having it at high volumes doesnt make you feel like the speaker is going to rattle itself to death either.
What about ringtones? they do not seem as loud as all the other phones owned by my co-workers. We always have to listen for our phones since we are on call and when their phones ring they seem much louder than my M9.
I'm gonna be the "odd man out" here.
I've had the M7, M8 and now the M9.... I think the M9 has the best sound, but the quietest of the 3. My step son's iPhone 5s is louder, but sounds really bad.
To me, everything needs to come up a few db.... But then I think you'd lose the sound quality.
Just my $.02 wroth.

I am a new fan of this app... If you are rooted this can bring you quite a few db and you can improve sound quality in the advanced features.. I've never had a cell phone that could sound better than my mp3 player until I learned of this app. The developer should charge for it. IMO it's that good. Let me know what you think and don't worry it is in English.

Edit-- The best improvements are in headphones and bluetooth. But does bring up the ext speakers quite a bit.

I have a hard time hearing ringtones too.. Honestly I go to zedge and find the most loud ringtones I can find and that helps. If it's something like being on call I'd look for a loud alarm tone and set that ringtone for my work number. I did that at a baseball game and I could hear it... barely but I heard it as where the stock tones I couldn't hear anything.

On a side note, but still related: I have V4A installed on my current ROM, but it doesn't work for some reason? I've used it on previous phones and know how to get it working, but for some reason it's just not working with my current ROM (Eragon 8.6). I've updated and tried all 3 "driver" installations... I reboot it and check the driver status and it shows it's not working and I hear no difference with any changes I make.
You can use on PC a free program call Audacity to boost the loudness of ringtones. Just load it, use the boost/amplify feature (I forget what it is called), and then export as a new file. You will have to download an additional file called lamemp3 and direct the program to it in order to save as a mp3. This works really well. You can also load a full song and trim out the portion of the song you want as a ringtone.

if you want a phone to have great sound, go for M8 because they have Boomsound, also the speakers have better quality than the G3...but overall, the price you get the M8 you buy 2 G3's phones...and doesnt worth the price difference, so...yes, you should go for G3.
and about theyr model number, they dont say anything about if they have a DAC or not, this model dont have DAC for audio, no DAC in every model variation!

headphone sound stinks!

I am using an unlocked ATT G3 on cricket. I use Iheart radio while exercising, walks etc. I have noticed my wifes 39.00 ZTE phone has better sound through the headphones.
I have downloaded and installed countless equalizer programs through play store. They all seem to lower an already low volume.
I picked up an IDOL 3 from ebay and the sound is terrific.
Is there any hope for the G3?
Thanks

Try using another pair of earphones or headphone to see if it is your phone problem or your earphones

Sound isnt as loud as other phones I have owned and there is very little bass and sounds like a transistor radio.
Sorry for so many questions but besides the headphone sound I really like the phone and would prefer to keep it rather than the plastic idol 3 I just purchased to try.
Does anyone know of an equalizer that works on this phone without rooting?
Thanks again for putting up with my quandary!!

If you rooted you could install viper. BTW it won't erase your phone if you use one click root (lg). Work like a charm.
