Run Gingerbread? Need a louder speaker? Use this application.

Volume+ Sound Boost for Gingerbread
Download: Here
Credits: MeltusI've tested it and it's increased the speaker volume drastically without reducing sound quality. It's great for streaming music, radio, live scanner feeds and stuff. It makes the loudspeaker LOUD. Works on my custom ROM (See it in my signature). ​

Thank you so much!!!!!

Thanks, I just thought it was the phone, had no idea it was the ROM I was running lol. This app works great, using it at one notch below Insane, and it sounds much better now

Thanks. Works great

awesome, thanks.

Yeah, I haven't tested it on Insane, and probably won't. It's plenty loud enough as is now lol

I tried it on insane it will work loud but if you keep it on insane you will blow your speakers

BETA Version (1.61 whatever)
Speaker Phone:
Speaker Modifications: ON
EQ Settings: GOOD QUALITY
Volume Level: FIVE OR SIX
Bass Enhance: OFF

i ran it on cm7 made NO difference at all ... not a tinny bit :S

Works on CM7 here, stock kernel.
Just a question for you guys: have you come across a volume/equalizer app that works on a speakerphone call? I've gotten Volume+ and DSP Manager to work on everything except for when the phone is in speakerphone mode. I was hoping to reduce the "tinnyness" of callers with a treble reduction and midrange boost.

Can something similar be done with the headphone jack? I use it often to connect to my car stereo and even at max volume it's not very loud.

Well it seems to have solved MY problem, which was low volume on the ringtones - I was missing calls, with the phone in my pocket - beyond that, I didn't fiddle around with the settings.
Thanks much!
-Mike

should we restart after applying settings? i rely find no difference at all . som1 can explain me why?

CM7 has DSP Manager which will boost volume perfectly.

Speaker Volume on S-off sensation

Hello everyone, I am starting this thread to find if there are any Devs who can figure out on what is really wrong on the Sensation's speaker volume.
My experience during my HD2 days, I flashed different android roms with some low volume and some have high or loud volume. I think it had to do with the Rom. Is there any ways for the Devs who will make or currently making custom roms to take a look on this? Maybe there is an adjustment in the rom itself where you can override or adjust the overall volume of the speaker. Just a thought, thank you all more power.

Gave ya a thanks for asking this one in the hopes that a dev takes notice.
The external speaker volume ( or lack thereof ) is the only thing that chaps my ass about the Sensation.

You should try using Volume+ it solved my speaker problem

Using it now with the settings suggested in one of the posts around here, it's still pathetic ( almost as pathetic as my old ass ears ).

voodoo sound and video is what the sensation needs combine that with OC/UV it will be insane

Great question, imho. Still have my HD2 (soon upgrading to Sens.), and I'm well aware of the volume level being all over the place with different roms. It seemed as if they weren't even aware, although with all the complaints I don't understand how.
Volume+ is a band-aid workaround, while the issue should just be fixed altogether. I doubt it's a hardware issue.

Volume+ does works

Did you try Equaliser or DSP Manager?
Boosting treble can increase the volume output

midrange is most of the good volume. I think we have plenty of treble already. I boost +15 with a slight mid hump and it sounds great!

I got to play with an evo this past weekend and the volume on that phone is incredible. I'm hoping to get nearly the same levels from my sensation. Tried the market fixes with no real improvement. Thanks for bringing this issue up. The previous answers to the problem were either the market app fixes or wait till s-off. Now we have it....subscribed.

Volume+ and equalizer works, but it would be nice to have a volume hack like the Inspire built into the roms.

I agree with you all about the App market volume or any other, but would like a built in the Rom itself, permanent.

Mine is still a bit quiet even with volume +

I'm also disappointed with volume on htc sensation. I've tried volume+ but it made no difference!

Interesting question. Following this post now.

Anybody knows if there is a working version of DSP manager for the Sensation??!

Volume + added nothing for my sensation

Same here.
Even tried to play with the echosettings and stuff, but nothing happened.

Alas Volume+ is not compatible with all custom roms, Equaliser and DSP are...from my experience on DHD.
On N1 volume boost was included in Kernels
If the Sensation has the same speaker as N1 and DHD don't expect miracles, the trick is too boost treble to the maximum, it will make ringtones loud but it will kill the quality too.
The only 2 things that are refraining me to swap my sgs2 to Sensation are the speaker and death grip

[Q] can some 1 make a media volume hack

just was watching a movie and it was so low can anyone do a volume hack for speaker output it gotta be a way via build prop or xml i just dont know where to look

Have you try Volume+, and I found this in the general forum: menu> settings> call> check the "hearing aids" box.

Volume+ works great, been using it since launch. Huge improvement for all audio outputs, and a kick ass equalizer

Is there an equalizer somewhere on board? If so, I can't find it.

Just to throw my 2 cents in, Volume+ has little to no difference... I'm still searching for something similar to GalaxyS VooDoo Sound Hack... in a lot of cases volume+ can actually lower the volume, but maxing everything out gives you a lil bit of an improvement but not much.

Volume+ works great, probably the only app that allows for you to boost the volume so high that you might be able to break your speakers lol. It even has an equalizer if you want to put in custom levels

Dunno, I tried Volume+ on MIUI and it doesn't seem to do a thing. Equalizer does have an effect, though I haven't tried it on a2dp, which is where I really need the boost.

Volume + does not work for me on stock Rom Gingerbread.

will be installing the new Tsugi "stock" 2.3.4 rom as soon as my phone charges

Thanks!

With daryken bumping this thread I just ran across it. I have been using this app for longer than this post has been up and must say I cannot do without it now.
The widget is what makes it. It really ties together my media home screen.
Just a heads up for those with CM7. It does not play well with DSP manager. I found I had to choose between the two. The choice was not hard.

I never had any good results with DSP manager when I was on CM7. This really does work, but it doesn't seem to play well with MIUI which I am currently on. Instead I tweak the volume settings of idividual songs in iTunes and then move them over to the phone wich also works. But it is a bit of a long work around....

Try flashing a kernel with Voodoo sound. It increases volume using the phone's hardware, so there is no distortion whatsoever.

Low volume tips and tricks?

What's up gang...I'm new to the Sensation (just picked it up yesterday)...and have been trying to look for tips on how to increase the speaker volume.
I'm using Volume+ pro....but doesn't seem to help much. Suggestions?
I'm all stock for now.

you simply can't it is impossible to increase the speaker volume...but you can increase the headphones volume by installing a rom with Beats audio

I have volume + and it works really well. On +20 volume setting I have to tweak the frequencies down individually as it is too much for the speakers to handle. At +20 with all bands at under 100 I get really loud ringtone with no distortion. It works far better than dsp manager. Am running reverted aosp rom with bricked 1.6 kernel on my xe.

SRS Enhancement is also great at improving speaker quality/volume. Comes in the HTC Music player.
