Ringtone alternatives - General Topics

I have a hard time hearing the LG G2x's ringer even when using really loud or obnoxious ringtones. Is there anything I can do to plug my device into a System, PC, MP3 Player, BT Paired Speakers alone,et.. AND MAKE the Ringtone/Ringer come through these External speakers So that I can hear the ringtone on these really loud OTHER device's Speakers?
I have tried to just plug a 3.5mm (male to male) cord into an expensive MP3 Speaker system, and I was able to hear my audio (music, and application sounds) great, and loud! - but when I put a call into the G2x, the ringer/ringtone was SILENT. I don't know what else to do, there seems to be no options to force ringtone to ring through external speakers (even the PC would be fine if there was an app that had a type of UI on the PC for such a thing, I think mp3 players, or even ipod players may be an answer too, I just don;t know how ir could be set up,... But maybe I'm over-thinking this and it's actually something really simple that one of the more Android-tech-Savvy people can answer. I'm new to the Andriod scene and like the G2x, but I need it to be set to ring through LOUD speakers so I can hear it in another room if need be. Any suggestions would be great!

headphone is not loud enough for mp3

Hi, while I try to use headphone to listen mp3, it's alway not loud enough even I put the system volume to the max. It is any other way to boost the volume to make it louder thought my headphone, the one go from 2.5mm audio jack.
I couldn't find anything about how to make the headphone louder, not thought bt headphone.
Furthermore, is it tools to control the volume for different applications. I think it would be very handy if we can have different volume setting for different applications, say, I alway have to adjust the volume of my windows media player to max, and if I'm using sip phone, I have to change to another setting, and another setting for my reminder in order not to scare others.

I seem to remember the jack from the head set breaking the socket on mine a few years back. I took mine apart and reset the socket. Everything works fine now as long as I dont use the std head set (use b/tooth instead)
Just search these forums and you'll fine a lot of posts about this.
I would try Orbs solution first though.
Mav
this happened to me b4 .. i had to change the socket :S
try cleanig it first, if this doesn't solve the problem find someone good with these devices and make him change the soket 4 u ((i used a socket from a broken universal))
there was a post from some russian guy regarding this matter. that's how i've fixed mine. try finding that post, but in short, you need to open your uni and fix the contact on headphone socket. you probably pluged in headphones with bigger jack...

Just out of interest, have you installed "SRS Wow"? That has a habbit of stpping the sound from the speakers. If you have, uninstall it reset and try again.

If not SRS WOW install issue
Get the Media Player to play any audio file and while it is playing carefully wiggle a very thin screwdriver in the audio socket. You will know if and when it works when the music will be heard out loud. Sometimes the contacts within the socket get mis-aligned by the earphone plug being pulled out, in particular if the audio works fine with earphones. Doesn't mean you need to replace the entire socket.
It works. Yesssssssssss

Excellent

[Q] Is my headphone jack ruined?

I bought some JVC headphones that are high quality and the sound is really clear after a while i notice when i plug them in my Sensation the sound is terrible it sounds like a pair of 5 dollar headphones with no bass, it was working fine what gives?
Wait... So you were using the headphones in Sensation fine for some time, but then this suddenly happened? Try them in another device to see if it's a problem with headphones. You can also turn on SRS/Equalizer in Music settings.
Did the sound get worse after answering a call and going back to the music app? Does the problem get fixed when you reboot the phone? If so, disconnect the headphone, play music through the speaker and connect the headphone back while the music is playing. It should get fixed. If you have a headset, while listening to music, you can press the main button twice (as to redial a call) and then immediately cancel the call. It should give you back the good sound.

Pandora

The kick drum in some songs in Pandora sounds really ugly. It sounds like it would if your headphones were broken, but I am sure my headphones are fine. I am not an audio expert so I do not know the technical term (fart noise maybe?). It is really annoying and it ruins the songs, especially songs with loud kick drums (Deadmau5). Does anyone else have this problem? It happened on every ROM I've used.
Negative. What version of Pandora are you using? I have the "Red Unlimited" app installed on mine and I use Smart Android's Equalizer application.

Are you using Pandora One?
DeadMau5 on mine actually had the same broken sound you're describing. It's just a lot of bass that has to do with the quality of the file. After I upgraded to Pandora One, it went away because of the higher bitrate. Now it makes the same noise if I turn it up super loud. If you don't have Pandora one, just do the 1 day trial and go onto your phone and select High Quality under settings to see if that helps.

Audio Output on AT&T GS3

So I'm new to Android and I've had the GS3 for a few weeks now. I'm liking it so far, but I've noticed something about the GS3 that is kind of annoying..
When I have headphones or a 3.5mm cord plugged into the jack music plays through the headphones or car speakers fine. However, things like notifications, incoming call ringtones and even sms text tones all still play through the phone speaker. Even though it quiets the music through the headphones those audio notifications do not come through the headphones.
Is there a way to change this? Seems really silly.

Hi, not familiar with the GS3 but there are a number of Android ROM's but the basics are pretty much standard.
I would suggest playing around the Profile area rather than the Sound settings.
From your home screen Select Menu then Settings, or just Settings from your Apps page, then go to Profiles rather than Sounds, there is a myriad of setting there. Have a play around.
Hope this helps
Kind Regards
Malcolm. J
