Low Volume on G1 Speaker

Have you noticed the extremely low volume of the G1 speaker. i can bearly hear the audio whever i play mp3 or video files. Even the phone ringing is relatevly low compared to any phone i have ever owened!!!
Is there a way to alter the hardware setting and get higher volume out the speaker???

Seems fine to me, doesnt seem too low, mayb its the mp3 ur using. I raise the volume of my files with itunes, but even the default sounds on the G1 seem fine.

Yeah, adjust music/video volume using the keys on the side of the phone while playing a song.
I'm sure you already did that so.... there's a program called volume control that let's you adjust every volume setting the phone offers. Also, my speaker has never been that loud anyways but that program helps a bit.

Any one of you guys know where i can but a new speaker phone peace/thing for the G1. I blew mines out with the volume hack. -.- Thanks in advance.

I've noticed the low volume on Cyanogen's ROM, but on every hero ROM I've tried it seems MUCH louder.

I've noticed it too, but I've always used Meltus' AudioHack app to correct that problem.

The only thing I noticed on the G1 that is weak would be the vibrate. That is pretty weak.

My phone started doing this before donut was out. I was using Xrom, and thought it was the rom causing it. I'm running Dwang 1.13 now, and discovered that my issue is being caused by T-Mobile's Visual Voicemail apk. The speaker would work great until I opened VV. The VV apk, routes the media sounds through the headset speaker, like when holding the phone to your ear in a phone call, but it doesn't always re-route the media sounds (and ringer for that matter) back to the loud speaker. There is a hack/apk/widget out to fix it, claiming it to be a cupcake issue, but I only had it happened to me after using VV.
To figure out if you have the same issue, block the loud speaker with your finger and play a song. If it gets louder when you remove your finger from covering the loud speaker, then you have a different issue. If it stays the same volume, block and unblock the headset speaker to see if it changes.

If you are running MT3G/Magic You can also try this on the G1 to see if you get better sound
CM's system usually doesn't add the MT3G Sound XML
Download and run this: http://drop.io/tfwtv3d/asset/volmt3g-signed-zip
If this doesn't help, use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=517745

i had this more then one , dont know for sure bit this is after i did a switchrom, a simple reboot is a fix

I always cup my hand under the phone when watching videos, it boosts the volume a bit

This problem is really annoying, can someone post a link to the fix for me, I haven't been able to find it.

This also happend to my phone. Started with the last stable before the whole google thing with cyan. Tried a hero rom and it was pounden out sound.
So if anyone does have any insight on how to fix this, with reasoning, that would be nice. No "i did this and reset and it just worked" stuff.
Thanks

Also wish my G1 would be louder when a phonecall came in. My older HTC Juno was extremely loud which I prefer because Im not where my phone is 100 percent of the time.
I would also greatly appreciate some insight on how to make the speaker louder with some tweaks and or apps.
Thanks in advance.

Use Meltus' audio hack, it makes the phone really loud. I suggest using g7-6r2

Aye, that should do it
Also, for people experiencing routing problems, my files might also fix that too.
The G7 files included fixes so that they would run on the Cupcake/Donut/Hero/Sapphire. It might fix it, i'm not promising anything though

+1 If your G1 is quiet download Audio Hack from the market and it will not be quiet anymore. People tell me all the time, "dude your phone is ridiculously loud". I love it..

Meltus' app is amazing, i used to hate when i went to show everyone a video from youtube and you cant hear nothing when your out in public. Def recommend it to anyone who thinks their speaker is low.

Meltus Audio Hack.
Your welcome.

My G1 speaker is terrible!
The other end hears constant echo, and it's very soft for me to hear anything.

Topaz as TomTom GPS for use on Motorbike -- Sound Problem

Hey Guys,
what I am planing to do is to use my Topaz for navigation on my bike.
Generally it works as I want it to work but I have one problem left. The sound is not as loud as it should be.
What I did so far:
- Install TomTom 7 on my Topaz
- Install a bluetooth headset in my helmet
- Redirect system sound to BT headset via BTA
- Set system volume to max as well as TomTom volume
So far everthing works great but when I am riding my bike its pretty hard to understand anything. So I have to get the sound louder somehow.
The Tool AudioBooster just says "No Headset Connected" when I am trying to start it.
Any idea how I could boost the sound output via BT?
Greetz Topaza

Unzip attachment and copy to your Windows folder overwriting original and your max volume level will be increased.
BTW, this is a common question and solution is readily available with a simple google search. No need to open a new thread for this.

thanks for your reply. The file you provided increases the volume via. the Topaz speaker and via. (cable) headset a lot.
Unfortunately the sound via bluetooth stays the same or is increased a little but i cant recognice a difference...
any other ways?

I don't use BT so I cannot confirm if it increases with this file but opening the .cvs show settings for BT, so I would assume it should increase BT as well.
I have an Extra loud one if you want to try it, however you will need to adjust your speakers to a lower level to avoid distortion.
Please let me know if you notice an increase in BT vol.

still cannot recognize any signifficant change in volume via BT

Thanks for the confirmation.
Personally I think BT allows for too much background noise and your best option would be earbuds to cancel excess noise...
Unless you're on a Harley, then there's no way to hear anything but your motor...
Sorry man...

damn, the idea was so great and everything works perfect except this ****ing BT headset - whose integration into the helmet was hard work btw...
There HAS to be a solution. Still don´t know how but i will get this thing working somehow...
Maybe I have to tune the hardware... a better speaker, a small amp or somewhat ^^
Anyway, if someone has an idea how to boost the sound, please let me know!

[Q] Inspire 4g headset/microphone adapter?

I have an adapter with microphone that allows any headset to be used for calls and music control, with iPhone. Tried to use it with Inspire 4G and got no sound whatsoever (regular headphones work fine, but of course, no mic or music control then). Pictures of HTC headset with mic show similar 3 ring insert, but something must be slightly different. Has anyone successfully used a microphone headset specifically for Inspire 4G, and/or an adapter that will function with any set of headphones?

I have 1 with an inline mic.
However the sound quality when I plug it in is HORRIBLE compared to just headphones.
Dont know why.
Have tested this with 2 inline mics.

I'm using a Monster iBeats in ear set with my 4G. Sound quality is great for music, very good for phone.
My inline mic will pause music but the volume does not work for music.
For phone calls, I can mute, unmute and answer, but volume control does not work.
This set on my wifes iPhone the volume control works for both music and phone and also allows you to forward itunes tracks.
I just use the volume control on the side of the phone on the Inspire with this headset.

DO you notice a difference when using Mic and headphones as opposed to just headphones?
I am noticing a difference even when using my Shure headphones.
What rom/kernal are u using?

I do not notice any difference in sound quality whether I use the Mic or not.
I'm running Rooted Stock ROM with bloat removed.

There is an app called Headset Button Controller
Just installed it and I can adjust the volume, move forward and back in music tracks and also turn volume up and down with this app installed in media apps.
Interestingly it only uses the center button to do all this on a three button headset.
In phone mode center button ends call. So it does not change anything compared to not running it.
I'll run it and see how I like it, initial impressions are it fixes what doesn't work native with the headset in media mode.

Wow.
Im starting to wonder if there is something wrong with my phone now
I THINK what is happening is that when I connect my mic it switches from Stereo to Mono. Duno tho.

I have purchased this app and will say that it is great. I use the same headset that I use to use with my ipod but now I find it easier to use. I use my phone while riding the motorcycle and I feel like.I have greater control over the music now..only problem I am having is people can't hear me through the Mic on the headset. Any ideas. No it didn't work before I had the software.

[Q] Bluetooth Audio Issues

So I ordered the GoGroove Bluegate Bluetooth Receiver from Amazon the other day and my package was delivered today! Woohoo!
I got everything set up in my room and was very impressed. I'm no audiophile, but I noticed no difference in quality between the Headphone jack and BT audio.
So out to my truck I went, got it all wired up the way I like, and started playing some tunes.
On Batakang 1.00 and using DoubleTwist, the volume was WAY TOO LOUD. It was also pretty distorted. So I made sure the stereo, BT volume, and media volume were all at the lowest settings to no avail. Still incredibly loud.
Is this phone just loud as hell? I know the external speaker is louder than most other phones. Is it software or hardware? Is there any way I can force the volume down? (Side note, I miss the expandable volume controls after pressing the rocker in CM9/CM10)
Any help is appreciated!

Use Audio Concert Pro from the play store and it should give you everything you need.
Cheers
Burgo

It sounds like something in your setup is causing it to bypass the volume settings and just play at max volume. I use my phone all the time for bluetooth audio on 2 blackberry bluetooth gateways (home stereo and office stereo) and a sony bluetooth audio car stereo and I am able to control the volume just fine from both the phone and the stereos.

I think I figured it out. I installed "music volume EQ" from Play and I adjusted all bands to -15 db. This surprisingly made all volumes much more acceptable. I noticed media volume over 8 used to sound the same, like it was maxed out, but it seems much more granular now, and lower volumes are more "normal".
I suggest this fix for anyone who is unhappy with any volumes.

I know this topic is way old, but I know what the problem is. I unlocked and flashed cm10.1, and while the bluetooth takes a few seconds to lock on, it now is at a reasonable volume, the BT volume slider changes volume, and it never jumps to 100% after connection. The Motorola BT drivers must be wonky. Anyway, that's it! Moto screwed up.

[MM roms] Big problems with bluetooth headset (LG HBS-730) low quality

Hello,
i have one big issue that prevents me from fully enjoing marshmellow roms ,the bluetooth audio.
I have a bluetooth headset from lg hbs-730 an they work just fine with every android (this year i changed like 15 handset) and NEVER had any problem,they just works.
BUT they dont work on a oneplus with mm rom and i can't understand why.
the headset connect via bluetooth with no issue and audio comes out fine at first,but when you get heavy bass or just a lot of instruments in the song the audio lose quality and noise ramp up.
do you know why?it is fixable?
the only hint i have its that the audio control on kk,lp roms are different ,so when i push the up and down volume buttons on the phone the bluetooth audio of the phone is managed,but when i press the volume buttons on the headset it manages its OWN volume.
This doesnt happen in MM roms,when you push the volume button of the headset ord the phone its the same volume bar which is managed.
Help Me, XDAi. You're My Only Hope
