Speaker volume is putrid!

Coming from an iPhone, the speaker volume on my Galaxy Nexus is absolutely pathetic. I'm a big speaker phone user and I could barely even hear the person on the other end unless I'm in a completely silent room. Is there any way to increase the volume [dramatically]?

Volume+ in the market.

Appreciate the help but says it only works on Gingerbread and says it doesn't work on stock ROMS.

Just install it, it works...
Edit: ah its about the speaker phone, then you'll need root.

For the full version of volume+ go to the developer's website http://www.androidaudiohacks.com/ he has the full version and a beta the he is working on for the galaxy nexus

i find equalizer a much better solution.

just install equalizer from the market (or volume +, but i dont like this one as much). the speaker volume will easily double. once you install it, increase each frequency to max, then just close the app. volume is now good to go.

There is more than one equalizer on the market. Which one is the good one?

I find they are both equally worthless. They increase the volume of your device, but they ruin the sound quality. I find the volume to still be unacceptably low even using these apps.

i thought volume + ruined the sound quality when getting to an acceptable level of volume. maxed out equalizer and it's great now. not atrix great, but good enough.

DSP manager is better than volume +, theres a thread with a flashable version which is optimized for ICS. Amazing results

The one by smart android apps is the good one, it hooks into the system audio api.and cranks it up. Just raise each freq.

Dsp Manager http://goo.gl/vySXF Enjoy

Does this version of Volume+ stay "active" in the system. I had problems with previous versions of Volume+ and Equalizer not working unless I went and opened it everytime.

I just tried the DSPManager in comparison with Equalizer.
(EDIT) It works fine but Equalizer will go higher to the point of distortion if all the sliders are pushed maxed. Edit The lower two sliders maxed out will go to distortion maxed. I have all about 90% and she is loud as my old OG DROID.
Equalizer All the way. Play a known strong music file while adjusting or comparing apps.
Another Edit On my GN equalizer has to be started just once when the phone boots. I just go to the app and hit it. I am going to see if the Dev will make it start on boot. Other then that its the loudest one I have used.
DSPMngr maxed out does not distort and is just a teeny weeny bit lower.
Going back to Equalizer.
About having to enable it every time (EDIT) I was wrong, this app does not auto run after a boot. You have to tap it only once though.

Are you saying that you used the equalizer in the Volume + app? If so, what are your settings?

[Q] Any app or equalizer for non-rooted HTC ONE X to increase speaker VOLUME?

So, as title says. Anyone know of one that works on non-rooted ONE X?
Yes for the speaker, since I find it so low. I want to increase it for music and games.
I dont plan on rooting or modding my phone. Hopefully theres something out there.

without root i'm using "Music Volume EQ" it's free and you can find it on play store.
it's good for volume but quality becomes worse

Be carefull, if the sound is limited there is a reason:
- for your ears
- they can degrade speaker performance over the time

I am using Poweramp and it works perfectly with my ZL. In addition to being able to improve the sound quality, I can increase the volume to beyond a comfortable level. Thats possible even with non in-ear ear buds!

I want to fix the speakers

Upon using this device for few days, I found out how bad the speakers sound. The highs are extremely muffled out. I also found why it sounds this bad. There is a significant bass boost effect already applied, and you can't un-bass-boost it. You can check this in the equalizer settings in Google Play Music. In fact, after I messed around in the eq app I downloaded, turning the highs way up, it sounds significantly better. But still, it can't give the same effect as reverting the bass boost effect. That's why I want to know if there is a way to override the factory settings and revert back the bass boost effect. And yes, I don't mind the root methods.

Try V4A?

Hey there, we're going to make some audio adjustments so sound should be a markedly better.

When should I expect this update?

Very keen to know when this will be released as well. Just using basic notification sounds, I get dreadful 'hissing' as the sound file tails off. Its really bad. Vibrates like crazy watching videos. It's definitely over eq'd and/or too much gain.

Is that gonna be a software update?

Right now, we're not sure if this audio tuning will make our next MR update, but indeed it is a software update that can help with the audio.

It's been a month. Do you guys have a plan for the next update?

I'm also excited for the next update. Sounds like you guys are fixing all my issues at once (camera, speakers, and heat). Basically waiting for that before I sell off my nexus 6p.

Received the update! It's freaking amazing how much the speakers and the sound output has improved. Didn't expect this much of improvement. Thanks guys!

Yeah I hope so too. I use an eq app to turn the volume down. Also is it just me that the left and the right channel of the audio switches for a split second randomly?

Does anyone here have a successfully working plan for Viper on Robin? I've ended up having to adjust the CPU through Kernel Adiutor in order to eliminate crackling/popping while on ViperAtmos Stock 4.7. I just want this phone to sound great. Otherwise, it's perfect. Thank You!

What adjustments did you make? When playing music and screen turns off music stutters horribly. Unbearable.

Been messing with the Nougat update the past few hours and the speakers sounds much better.

hey good night i cant get sound while trying to play music or look at video on my nextbit robin what to do ? please help

Your preferred audio app

I've a question for everyone, what audio apps are you all using? I got great sound from Xtreme Music but it absorbs lot of memory and makes my frequency stuck at 787 MHz.
The Z5 sound mod on the other hand has 2 options: Extra loud or Extra quiet.
Anyone got other suggestions?

I'm settled on z5 premium walkman port, nothing else,it is clean hassle free..
all the extra loud mods does nothing other than damaging your speakers
walkman( music) is the best
no mess

Yeah, I was using that mod. Couldn't control the volume perfectly, it will be extra loud on speaker and very low on earphone and the XLoud speakers keep turning itself on >.>
I installed stock V4A app, CPU is now running low and volumes are perfect.

I agree a bit
Because volume controls are fine
It is a bit loud on x-loud enabled but bringing the volume down helps
Earphone volume can be increased slightly by using equalizer.
Doesn't v4a runs in background always? What about its battery usage?
Can u provide the link

This is the one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191223. I haven't seen any noticeable drain, and the most I see it do is stay in memory. This app isn't that intrusive I believe, the only worry is you need SElinux set to permissive.

I didn't have to. I flashed all my files during a clean install, so the first boot would have them already. It seems to bypass the SElinux requirements too.
