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

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.

J dont think that it is posted here,so from Diamond forum the file below makes Raphael sounds louder.Test it to mine & works, BUT it's a little disorted (with .wav files j use) ,maybe someone with enough knowledge fix it.
Media player now its loud, havent test it in incoming ringtones or bluetooth.
It doesnt sound well when SRSWOW is on.
The problem is that there is not enough power available from the audio amplifier. This can't be corrected with software.
What this .cab does is probably that it tries to increase the amplification beoynd the capabilities of the device. This may make the sound seem louder, but as you have noticed, it also increases distortion. There is no workaround for the laws of physics...
So we are really really stuck with a very inferior product.
I installed SRSWOW but lost all sounds

Did you change the dll file in the registry so that if points at the right one? Its been written a couple of times the the SRSWOW cab going about set the wrong values in the reg. So I think this should be an easy fix if you do a bit of searching. Try the Daimond forums.
Either this problem varies from device to device, or then Ijust dont understand how loud you guys need...
When my wife calls, she shouts so loud I even have to tone done volume
@WizP: I'll do a search for the fix.
@Taajuus: The sound must be decent enough....

I have my volume set to the halfway mark. I'm talking about the conversation volume, only settable while in a call, not the system or ringer volumes.
Those that are reporting low volume, is it the ringer, system, or call volume you are complaining about? In other words, is it the front or the rear speaker that's producing low volume?
The ring volume is more than fine, it's just the speaker volume when in a call, when outsuide you can hardly hear it
Yes, I concur.
I've got my in call volume at maximum and you can still barely hear the other person.
Before you ask, I don't have a screen protector covering the earpiece.
I still wonder - I havent had any problems with incall voice. Can hear person very clearly even outside in traffic noise.
Could this really be single device problem, or maybe operator dependant?
With that audiopara file in my raphael (ROMeOS V.1.05) the speakerphone volume is now hugh,the music playback is loud, but a little disorted, but j think that there was no serious change in incoming ringtones (though j use only wav files-that are much louder from mp3's.
As far as the disortion a new modified audiopara file that suits well with Raphael should make the difference.
J will try some mods with SRSWOW..
Worked here... But the sound is VERY distorted..
Couldn't find a way around it with SRS (Tried treble reducer) and no luck.
I can´t even here when I´m talking to somebody, but I still have that plastic over the earpiece but still! There´s NO sound at all through it (well really really low), I have max volume, will it get better with the screenprotecter that doesn´t block the small speaker?

REMOVE THAT. It's the same thing if I tried to yell to you with a wall in between us. Sound has difficulty traveling through a medium, specially a piece of plastic.
Dear Taajuus,

Well... yes sit can because:
1. There are several related problems that are not seen in all devices.
2. Not all Raphaels [Touch Pro] are the same model, make or version.
or maybe operator dependant
Click to expand...

It can never be related to the operator because:
1. The operator's interaction with the device is the one of a comm carrier.
2. It's only possible influence would be with/thorough the radio, never the ROM.
3. The operator cannot directly interact with the hardware.
Cheers.

how do you install this?
The sound is distored cause tripp modified the values of the gain but put it too high. If some one could put lower values it would be great. I tried but didn't manage . I also tried to put the values of the HTC NIKE but it resulted in a lower sound that the original one.
How to install audiopara (to 'ekerbuddyeker")
Get in /Windows,search for audiopara3.csv, MAKE A BACKUP, use resco exp. and copy the new audiopara to /Windows, soft reset and done.

Well for me this file really fixed the sound of my device, specially the earspeaker!! Now I have to lower the system sound so I don't get deft
I recommend everyone to use it...
So do u actually mean that this cab file has increased the volume on a call or just the general sound???
Hey,
I have had a HTC Touch sins 5th of December and i have found a problem I'm not sure if anyone is aware but its quite annoying. The sound through headphones and even to the extent of through the speakers is very quite and I'm not sure what i can do to improve that. Is there some kind of update or something. I could understand the phone speaker being quite and i don't partiuclly mind that but when trying to use it to listen to music or watch a film i find i can't even make out what there saying.
I don't have bad hearing so it can't be that.
Thanks for any help you can provide in advance
Did you make sure that your device volume is turned up all the way? Also make sure that your media player volume is turned up all the way.
It may also be that the media files you are playing have very low volume. Compare this by playing these files on your computer - do you have to turn your computer speakers up high just to hear? this would confirm low sound right in media file.
Do you have wow or srswow or whatever it is called installed. I have heard others having problems with this installed on their devices. this could be the problem. Uninstaling did not work in their case and they had to perform a hard reset (possibly because it had changed registry settings) I don't know if there is any other explanation or solution to your problem. The only time I have ever experienced low sound volume was when my volume settings were set low and I forgot to turn them back up.
to my knowledge there's no way of increasing hardware volume..
you can amplify the media using Goldwave or something.. and check that the volume meter is up all the way both in your media player and on your device.
I believe I've always had this issue on all three of my Android phones. When I go into Google Voice to play back my messages, the volume is always on max, but the playback is still very low. Across all phones (two captivates and a cliq), volume is low regardless of ear-piece or speaker.
Is there any way to increase this volume?
Thank you to all the ultra wise for all your assistance and hard work to make android what it is today.
The Google Voice default is to playback through earphone rather than speaker phone. Hold the phone to your ear or change it to playback through speaker phone.

Yes I know this. As I explained above, the volume is low when played back through ANY speaker on the phone. This could be indicative of a software limit on the app maybe...
The volume is so low that unless I'm in an almost silent environment, its difficult to hear anything. The transcriptions aren't quite helpful just yet, but I've noticed them getting better.
I had this problem today. The message was SO quiet that I could not make out what my friend was saying.
Google Voice needs a few tweaks, like the option to switch to speaker on the fly.

I understand you wouldn't want to set it to playback on the speaker by default, but if you hit the button to the right of the seek bar while its playing, it switches to the speaker phone. Still a bit difficult to hear. even if you put it directly on your ear.
I would say one of the best things about this phone is that you can hit speaker phone and flip it over and use it as a regular phone. That way you have a SUPER loud ear-peace. Good for clubs/concerts/loud places... but not loud enough for my damn messages
I've heard the speakerphone volume is too low. Is there any way to increase it past current max on a rooted phone?

I'd disagree with the speakerphone being "too low", at least on my phone.
I've used it for several conference calls (within the confines of a small conference room), and the volume is sufficient even when not at max. What does affect the quality of voice being audible is the speakerphone itself - the audio is very "tinny" and I guess I'd describe as "unrealistic". It's sometimes difficult to understand exactly what the other party is saying, but has nothing to do with volume.
I've not had the same issue when playing music through the speakerphone. Quality is actually pretty decent for such a small and basic speaker, and definitely think it's better than the one on my former iPhone 3GS (but not as good as the Vibrant's which was great for multimedia AND voice calls).
When I had my G1, I used an app called Louder Volume Hack. It was fantastic. It is on the market I believe. I would ask the dev to see if it would work on the MT4G.
When I get rooted I'll probably try to run LVH, but I'm still waiting for the darn OTA and can't test it yet.
Actually, I should re-state:
I've not had any volume issues using the speakerphone for calls, and the speaker for multimedia (music, movies/videos), but...
I have noticed that videos recorded on the MT4G and on apps such as Tango, the volume is sometimes insufficient even at max setting.
I may try the LVH if it's in the Market and see if it works. Nice to have options, at least.
Thanks for the advice. I'll test the speaker as is when my phone comes in; maybe it'll be just fine. I looked up LVH, and it doesn't support newer phones like N1 and HTC Desire. Nevertheless it looks like something can probably be done.
Instructions for older phones basically show how to modify mediaserver compression/gain equalizer settings for pre-2.1 versions of android:
androidaudiohacks dot com
The trick is to replace several config files in /system/etc. These files (Audio*.csv), if they exist in Froyo, are a good starting point for modifying the speaker volume.
Hey, when i hear music over in ear headphones, then it is pretty quiet.
My old LG was much louder with the same mp3 files.
Only when i use the build-in speaker, then it is loud enough.
Somewhere i read that that is limited by the EU to prevent hearing damage.
But that doesn't help me, because all my MP3's are almost same db level (mp3 gain).
Is there a way to get it louder? Ofc. does my phone has root.

Try using this app from the play store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.omegacentauri.SpeakerBoost&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsIm1vYmkub21lZ2FjZW50YXVyaS5TcGVha2VyQm9vc3QiXQ..)

As I told someone else , Do what i did, find the app called earpiece in the play store. After you install it, open up a music player, play a song, crank up the volume and open earpiece app. Next.thick the audio trough earpiece box and see what happens. You should hear a huge difference and the sound isn't distorted. If nothing changes just click and un click it a few times untill you hear a difference. And also if that's not enough you can also thick the volume boost box but that, as far as I can tell makes your treble stronger and leaves out the bass. Anyways just try it and I can promise your volume will improve.
Btw this works great with the headphones, I haven't tried it on the speaker phone. So just try it out and tell me if it works
Well i've tested gamer649's app until now. And it doesn't work for me. I cant hear any changes, even with 100% loudness.
Earpiece also not worked for me. It only worked with the built-in speakers, but there was no change on the headphone loudness

Regarding the earpiece app, did you remember to click on the " Audio Trough earpiece"?
Try it and if you don't hear any changes try it again a few more times. Sometimes it takes a little while until the app changes the volume( even dough in my case it starts right of ).

Well, of course that works. It can change the loudness of the speaker on the back and from the front, but has no effect on the headphones. They still have the same loudness even when i pull it up to the max ...
You can always try custom ROM like me - CM10 works fine on J, minus few minor bugs. It's pretty loud and the equalizer is just some nice stuff. :good:
Hmm yeah, would be an idea.
But before i try that, i want to try to get it work. I've also written sony an e-mail, and they said, that they had to limit the loudness because of an EU law
we've already tried fixing the loudness in the stock firmware itself but it didn't work... no im on CM10 and enjoying the music !!!
