Has anyone noticed that headphone volume isnt that loud..
Any ideas how to make better?

Yea I agree
Not till root.
The G3 suffered from the same ailment, but it was easily fixed by editing a file with the max volume value. There was also an app on the play store, but as stated above - root is required.

Yeah but why do people need to worry about fixing all these bugs for a phone that costs $600+ and is supposed to be a flagship. I bet it also sucksnt recording audio in rock concerts and alike.

So what have to be edited to gain the volume ? Can someone provide me a link ?

Agreed. I can set it to max volume and not be bothered at all.
Agree headphone volume is low but I'm usually BT streaming to my car so all good there.

The volume is low on my Bose headphones, same headphones on my nvidia tablet sound pretty good. Blue tooth isn't bad with an equalizer app.

I've found that the type of headphones you use play a factor as well. I have a pair of Bose in ear headphones that are designed for sports activities such that they stay in your ear no matter how crazy you move; the volume is fairly low with those headphones, but with the Quadbeats that LG provided with the phone - the volume gets plenty loud. I've actually started using the ghastly red and black headphones just because they're decent quality and can get very loud.

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.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
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
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
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.

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

Faceplam.
The packaged phones always suck. Always
Get another pair from an audio focused brand.
Also, up your low-mids a smidge...that might help your sound.

Just have to reiterate for the millionth time
The equalizer should not have any bars turned up higher than 0
That is, the middle. Any adjustments should exist below the center. If they are higher, it will cause clipping during certain songs and passages.
So, if you've made some great sounding setup, and your highest bar is at +7, turn all the bars down 7 ticks so they are the same compared to one another, but the highest bar is now 0. You will need to adjust the volume up to get the same loudness.

I know I don't own a nexus yet but I'll do a few things in hopes to get the audio better.
The mods I used you saw in the picture of the equalizer, the reason those were up is because it was allowed to use the bands properly with the appropriate audio mod.
Also.. if you do turn them up without an audio mod just lower your volume and turn up the highs/mids, not too much though otherwise exactly as you said.. clipping or giant distortion.

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?

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.

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.
I'm using some Sennheiser IE6 headphones with it surely fairly respectable.
I bought the N2 partially because of the Wolfson DAC, however, I don't quite find it as punchy as my old Galaxy Nexus for sound quality.
Its a clean enough output but doesn't have much clout, does anyone else feel this?
I felt that the sound from SGS3 was better. But it could be a brain related issue.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
Sound quality is a good bit about our 'own hearing' I believe...I have found the N2 (international) to be pretty nice actually...even the speaker on the phone sounds pretty nice, better than my S3 or Nexus 7. I use Music Volume EQ also...seems to work well for me.

i don't have a nexus, but compared to SG3, it's a bit better. I'm using Marshall Minor FX for earbuds and I'm satisfied with its quality. On loudspeakers, it could use a bit more volume, but quality is above very satisfactory for me.
I am looking to try it with my upcoming sennheiser px 100ii and a Sony mdr

You can modify the headphone volume from within the phone (if rooted) and it really makes a difference.

You want more punch, just use the Speaker Boost application from Google play store, raise the Bass from within the stock Player and be careful not to damage either of your ears or the device speaker.

Works amazingly. Stock the note 2 dorsnt have the umph in the bass. Coming off from 10years of ipod use it just didnt seem right as I mainly use my phone as a media player... but after the mod amazing difference.

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.
