Does anyone know where (or if something even exists) that i can get an app or something that can let me tweak my sound on my phone to make it louder. I am rooted and have been looking for something in one of the rom's, but havent seen anything yet. Thanks for the help!
???anyone???
Louder Sound
Yes there is a volume tweak program called VOLUME+1.6.1 and Louder Volume Hack that can do it. I believe both are in the market.
Hey I am having an issue with extra volume setting it seems like it mutes the volume instead of making it louder... running synergy rom.
i have the same problem. When i hit the extra volume button in-call it mutes the sound completley, both on speaker phone and earpiece. I am also running synergy (1.7). I also noticed the same problem on synergy 1.1. I tried reflashing after a complete wipe and also reinstalled several stock apps that had to do with sound and audio, but nothing has worked so far.
I'm not sure how I got it working it exactly, but the only two major changes that I have made were installing and configuring Lightflow app to control the LED color and then I ran Fix Permissions through ROM Manager. I just tested it out and the extra volume button works fine now. It works on both speakers. I've ran fixed permissions several times before that too, but it did nothing for the problem previously.
I installed an unofficial version of cm 10 that was linked by someone here in one of the forums, named "cm-10-20120816-d2vzw.zip", other than NFC (which I don't care about), everything works, even mms, I have cwm 6.0.1.2, and aosp kernel, so no kernel required. It runs VERY smooth, I've been using it instead of TW for a few days now, and happy with it. Anyway, when I get calls, every time, the in-call volume shows low, but it's at its loudest possible, I have to click higher, then lower to get it under control. I have installed volume+, but that doesn't really seem to have any effect on any volume anyway, but regardless, this resets on EVERY call, I don't think volume+ would cause that. It resets again for the next call even if I lower it of the previous calls. Does anyone know a fix? Any way to get the in call volume setting to stick? All other volume settings are remembered, why not this? It's so out someone walking by 50 ft away could hear the phone (not speakerphone) clearly. Really need help with this!
Any suggestions would be welcome.
Google now works perfectly, save for the volume. It doesn't respect my set volume and if I am not on silent it plays sounds and talks back at max volume. This makes using it with headphones nearly impossible. Does anyone have a fix? I mean it works great just the pesky volume issue.
On a sense rom
JB 4.2.1
Has anyone got either Volume+ or equilizer to work on the latest version of JB?
I can't get any joy from either. I used to be able to ramp up the sliders on equilizer which gave a boost but now there's no difference. A little clue to the fact that something is happening is that in equilizer if I choose the drop down for slider quick settings when I choose maximum I get a momentary volume increase. Momentary being about 1/4 sec.
I'd be interested if anyone has had any luck with either app and if so can you give any details on how you got it to work?

I use Beats. It seems to work for me.
I used to use equalizer but switched to dsp manager a while back which works fine.....
Let me reinstall equalizer to see if it still works.
Are we talking head phones or tab speakers here btw?
EDIT: Well I just tried equalizer and it worked brilliantly! :good: So it is something with you setup. You have enabled it from settings, sound, music effect haven't you?

Yes, music effects has been toggled to equilizer. Hmm, that's interesting - I presume you are on 4.2.1?
Something is obviously overriding it as the quick blip of extra volume I get when using the pull down and setting max sliders. I have set the sounds to play a ding when I do anything so I hear a quick ding in the louder volume then it goes back to original level.
Also I notice you are not on the stock rom so that may have something to do with it.
Not sure what might be causing it. Anyone else can confirm either this works or they experience the same thing?

beats? I'll try that - presume the it's an app called that.
No I'm not on stock But very similar.
There is a noticable increase in volume using equalizer. I'm sure there is a free demo version on the play store for you to try.

Yes I've tried this and what I notice is the opposite. When the sliders are reset to the middle the sound is normal (ie. same as without equilizer loaded) but louder than if I set the sliders to maximum.
As I say when I toggle to maximum there is a quick and much louder momentary sound increase which lasts a fraction of a second before going down to the lower volume.
I'm not sure what to look at as being the problem as there isn't much I have loaded that I can see might affect this. Very strange.
Still I'd be interested in anyone that can confirm a working instance with stock rom.
Edit: I have now tried a number of other equilizers and get the same behaviour so it appears something is resisting any change in settings.

I'm currently running Cromi 4.6.9 but have had this same problem on earlier Cromi versions too, actually for most of this year it seems. Which coincides with this thread saying the 4.2.1 update caused it for many people on various Nexus devices, which is referenced in Equalizer's app description on Google Play.
Equalizer always worked great for me until around then, and I've tried many things like uninstall/reinstall, other boosters including DSP Manager, even did full wipes during this period, but the volume just doesn't boost anymore. I use PowerAmp, and its built-in equalizer boosts the volume just as loud as Equalizer app used to do, which shows it's still possible but only within that app. Btw, I used PowerAmp in the past when Equalizer also worked fine, so I don't think it creates a conflict.
After seeing the above thread, I tested Equalizer on my Nexus 4 phone, which normally needs no volume boosting, with the same result - for a split-second it's louder but then goes to a slightly lower level than you started at, just as on my TF700. To me this indicates it would work correctly, but something else that wasn't there before now dampens it almost immediately.
@sdbags:
If for you it's apparently working correctly with same ROM as me on a TF700, can you think of why it's not for others? Also thanks for your fine work!
