Hey guys,
Im looking for a volume booster since i listen to music on my phone everyday, i tried Audio Hack
but seems not to work on my Evo (its unrevoked rooted, if that helps) let me know if anyone can help me out. I need volume like the iphone!! Love my Evo tho.
JBlaze -- Evo 4G
Just wanted to bump this. The past several days have afforded me the chance to stream music on my evo from xm at work, and could for sure use just a little more volume to hear it over the noise of my workplace.

Volume for music seems pretty loud for me if the phone is close to you. Isn't anyone worried about damaging the speaker? My previous phone after a year the sound quality for music sucked and I didn't even use it that much..Had to get a replacement and really noticed a difference. I'm afraid I'm going to damage the speaker over time just having the volume up all the way without an audio boost hack.
I actually would love to boost the headphone volume.
It's fine most of the time, but when I'm on the train it can be difficult to hear even when I have the headphone volume at full.
agreed, the volume out of the headset seems pretty low especially when in a loud area

Seems to me this is probably more of an issue with the particular headset you are using. The EVO gets pretty loud on my headset.
There's an ear piece volume boost in nentarchy's kernel. I'm actually going to flash to latest one he just released cause once you go too high, things get distorted. He lowered it a bit supposedly in the new release.

i can say that the iphone headphones are lower in volume compared to my sony headphones by far. not touching the volume and just switch headsets i have to lower the volume on the sony's..... the sony headset are true stereo headphones and not for phones as they do not have a mic.
is there any way to make the rings louder? i remember there was a hack to make the touch pro louder and i wish there was something to make the evo louder everything is perfect except that i rarely hear my phone as its always in my pocket ive even make the quality higher on ,my ringtones and its still the same...

we would be nice if someone would reply to this thread with an idea or a fix for this as i would be interested because my speaker volume is too low i had in idea of hex editing any comments on this idea would be nice
Well i use always semi professional headphones, since, to me, common ones suck to no end (professionals are way to expensive through). If I put the sound on the maximun or one level down, sounds good on normal musics (CD base decibels). Non normalized files (lower volume) become pratically inaudible. This happens also with the speaker.
I dont want to continuously have a 12 inch speakr on my EVO, i just want to listen in a heatly safe - good volume without put on max and up when file have a lower volume. XD
Seems fine to me with the included headphones... Not sure if using PowerAmp while listening to my albums is making a difference but volume seems about right foe r me...
how about without Headphones the volume is still not loud without them...no problem with headphones on
Guy, the problem has to do with more than the Evo. If your impedance level is high with the headphones you are using then the Evo cant drive them. Ultimately any 'hack' is just going to cause distortion at high levels. You need to get some sort of amp. I suggest CMOY.

things i can recommend. IF you are rooted.
1.BEFORE TRYING THE FOLLOWING DO A LOT OF READING. IT HELPS.
2. try an alternate kernel..... either netarchy toastod or ziggy. they have audio
tweaks built into them.
3. dsp manager. allows you to tweak audio further.

I only tried my Apple inear buds for music/podcast and unlike with the Samsung SGS, it worked just fine. Mind you, didn't try for actual calls tho. What doesn't work with it?

Darn. I found out that the sony MDR-EX38iP are only partially compatible. Not sure about it's mic, but the volume controls don't seem to do anything.
I'll be testing Wal-Mart's no hassle return policy in the morning.
I'm having some trouble finding a hands free solution that's got music, and volume controls, a mic and stereo in earbuds. Anybody know of such an animal?
There's two other's that I've yet to try: the Skullcandy Titan headset, and the one's from JVC with the marshmallow earbuds.
The headset earphones that came with my DZ are better than the ones that came with my Dream, at least they stay in my ears, but I sure miss having volume controls as part of the remote.
walmart took them back, plus i tried and returned the scosche tapline headset because it didn't work either. well, at least the volume controls didn't work.
Has anyone got the SonyEricsson MH-810 Stereo Headset for Xperia? these might work since they're made for the android platform, not iOS.
Might be an app
I had trouble getting a headset with a mic to work at first. I thought the jack might be defective, but regular earbuds worked. I also noticed that it detected if I had a headset with or without a microphone. (the icon on top would change)
Then my husband told me he saw on some forum, that there's a known problem with headphones with a mics, if you have another music app installed other then the native one.
I had previously installed Winamp, so I uninstalled it and now both the HTC & the Apple headset with mic work fine.
Might be worth it to give it a try, if you have a another music player installed.

so @Milady_Odessa, with your apple headset, you can:
*answer & initiate calls
*change volume up and down
can you be more specific regarding which apple headset you are using, or possibly a picture?
Sorry I should have specified, it's the regular earbud/mic combo that came with the iPhone. It essentially does the same thing as the headset that came with my Z phone.
It can answer & adjust volume, turn on your media player. It can't initiate calls, but it can dial/call back the last number that called you by double-clicking on the middle button.

Thanks for elaborating, and the picture! hmmm, still not idea.
I would like to have the same functionality I have with the headset that I got for my Dream.
I thinking of getting a set of sony ericsson mh810 off ebay for about thirty dollars, but I would like to confirm that that the voice dialer / search feature works first.

What about the volume control at the point where the cord splits?

I bought the HTC HS U350. This allows you to plug in your own earphones in to the mic piece. So far it works great but i do miss having controls for skipping music and also volume. I guess it will do until i find something better
I have the G2 with the Desire Z ROM and the iPhone headset that came with my 2G iPhone and the replacement one I bought about a year after are both working. After plugging them in I see a headset icon, and I tested using the Voice Recorder app and on a phone call, mic was working fine. As far as I know nothing was touched on the ROM from the shipped other than pre-rooted things like busybox, superuser, etc.
I've just tested Skullcandy Full Metal Jacket headset which is designed to work specially with iPhone - music sounds good, stop-play button works (with 1 second lag though), calls are good as well - mic works fine, you can answer and stop the call by pressing the button on the remote.
I tested with Desire Z and Desire.
I was hoping to get Klipsch S4i to use as headset, hopefully they will work with Desire Z

Hi all
Anyone thought of using Sony mw600?
I only had this little marvel for 3 days (fone only 10 days) and I dare say it works beautiful.
It takes/makes calls without a glitch. It even displays the callers number ( didn't manage to make it display contact name yet, though)
Also it controls nicely my poweramp app, does prev/next, play/pause, and volume. It's got in ear detachable headphones, and it uses same microusb interface for charging as our lovely phones
All of this for around £30 of eBay!
It's not bad, is it?
sent from htc desire Z stockRom
So I just dropped $100 on a set of Klipsch Image S4i headset after reading all the positive reviews and to my disappointment the mic does not work with the G2 at all. Tried them with my buddys 3gs and they work flawlessly.
I knew there would probably be some compatability issues with the controls but I didn't expect the mic to not work at all. Is this true for any headsets that are "made for Iphone?"
It should still work... that's strange. Send it back and get the regular S4's without the mic, and save $25. I have them and they are the best headphones I've ever had.
Do the controls work? Also, are you using the stock ROM? When you say the mic doesn't work, are you talking about using it in a call? Be more specific... it SHOULD be able to work as mics on those things are generally universal.
Headphones works excellent. Some controls work (vol +/- and 3 clicks to reverse track don't work). But mic don't work at all. Not for calls, voice search, or any other application that accept voice input.
My G2 is on factory ROM. Totally unmodified, not even rooted. (don't have a reason to yet)
After some research I have came to the conclusion that iPhones are just made weird. Something about using a different stripe of the jack for ground then standard. I'm just wondering if anyone else ever had this problem before.
I'm thinking about getting the Klipsch Image S4M because I need a headset, lost the factory ones, and don't like using bluetooth. Also I have a wonderful set of sennheiser CX400-II headphones already.
I had the same issue with a pair of $100 Scosche headphones I got. The mic worked perfectly on my dads blackberry, but didn't seem to work on my G2.
However after much fiddling I found if you plug the headphones in just so the mic will work, but its very hard to find that sweet spot.
So I just use them as headphones and unplug them for phone calls, I shouldn't be talking on the phone while riding my motorcycle anyway

I wonder if there's any way to write something for the G2 so it can recognize input frmo the S4i. It's weird since it works on the incredible.

I honestly couldn't tell you. I thought I got them from newegg but couldn't find the order. They have a three button control on them and come with like 6 different ear inserts.

That's odd. I was hoping to have no other problem except some of the buttons being non-functional. It's a shame that I have to get rid of this headset

Thanks for checking
Sorry....wrong thread....nothing to see here! Please move along people!
OP, try to exchange them for the S4a. Those are supposed to be compatible with Android.
Well, since I woke up this old thread anyway....you could try the Headset Button Controller Trial application from the Android Market. This might give you the functionality you are looking for, and if you like it, you can buy the full app for like $3.
Today I happen to know that Nexus s supports 3-button headset while I was reading the kernel source code of Nexus. And I also found MEDIA_NEXT/MEDIA_PREVIOUS keys in keylayout.
I don't have a 3-button headphone now, but I'm very interested in whether the keys on 3-button iphone compatible headsets actually works with Nexus S and whether I have to use some particular music player to benefit from these keys.
Have anyone tried 3-button headset with Nexus S? How does it work?
Thanks,

Yes I've used the HTC headset that comes with the Desire and it works (but doesn't anywhere near as good). The controller pauses/plays, skips forward and back. I haven't tested it, but I suppose it would work fine for answering calls too.
I don't know if iPhone headsets work although they should, and I could try my daughter's iPod Touch headset tonight, if no one else replies before then.
i dont know about the iphone specific headset. but it will work with 3 button headset in general, it should use standard ff/rw/pause and mic line, etc.
Thanks, I just see so many 3-button earphones that advertise themselves as "iphone-compabible", so I am wondering if there's some Apple standard and non-apple setup.
I use the Bose MIE2 mobile phone headset. In line mic with button control, works great. Costs 145 bucks but sounds superb. Its specific for mobile phones, follows the standard. A near identical iPhone version exists.
the iphone headset will only answer calls and the mic works, the volume does not work.
as for HTC, I have posted this somewhere else, everything works, although the volume up/down button is replaced by previous/forward, but reversed (- being forward and + being previous), but you can pull the buttons off with little force and correct it.
please note, before anyone goes out and buy the HTC headset, the headset has no bass if you dont use the ear muffs, and only a little bass with them on.
kms
I can confirm what kms108 says about the Apple headphones. The call answer button also works as play/pause for media.
What about skip / rewind?
I know this has been asked elsewhere in these forums, but none of the threads have been active within the past few months.
Does anyone know if there are any headsets or control software that allows you to use your remote button to skip forward, or rewind backwards on the Nexus S?
On the N1, PowerAMP added the option for two clicks to skip forward, three clicks to rewind back by a track. However, my same headphones (Zagg Smartbuds, if it matters) no longer do so on my NS.
Does anyone have any insight as to how I might be able to get that functionality back? It's pretty important to me, and presumably many others on these here forums :]
if you read up a few post, you have your answer, or get a BT headset.
Whoops. My wording was terrible. I was looking mainly at iPhone compatible headsets. It's nice to know that the HTC remote controls work properly, but as I recall the stock earbuds that came with my N1 were godawful :]
For now, I remembered an app called Headset Button Controller which does pretty much exactly what it says. The only problem is that I'm having trouble getting my NS to recognize any kind of triple click. I can only do single, double, and long clicks. Luckily, I guess that's all I really need?

the double or triple click does'nt work well, i prefer a dedicated button.
I'm wondering if anyone else is finding the audio output (be it by speaker or headphone), is very quiet? Whenever myself, or any of my friends go to watch a video or something on the Transformer, the first thing we do is try and turn up the volume even though its already at maximum. Even with a decent set of headphones (and I've tried multiple headphones), the audio is as loud as one would think.
I've done some searching through the forums, and tried to use this "Voodoo Sound Control", but it doesn't seem to give me many options. And when I tried the paid version, it said my device wasn't supported.
Anyways, I'm running Prime v1.9 with Netformer 1.6 kernel which i'm told has the Voodoo module in it.
Is there anything else I can try?
Yeah my headphone are pretty low but obly on certain videos same with the speakers. Try different videos and music see if there is a difderence.

Nah, it seems pretty universally quiet no matter what I play. Music from my google music account, local podcasts I download to it, youtube videos, ustream videos, etc.
Whether it be through the speakers or through headphones, its just really quiet. I have tried several different headphones I have, and its all pretty much the same volume. It has to be almost completely quiet in whatever room I'm in so I can hear it.
I was hoping this Voodoo stuff may help, but doesn't appear to be compatible (the thread says it supports TF 3.0 or 3.1 and not 3.2).
I'm out of ideas.
Voodoo works fine on 3.1 and 3.2
Yeah, sound on the TF is mediocre at best and horrible on headphones. I use an app called EQ and it really helps for the built-in speakers but headphones still suck. Not enough amp power to push decent sound.

I use THIS while using my earbuds. Greatly improves the performance of low-sensitivity headphones. Works like a charm and I have to turn the inline volume down to 1/4 on my earbuds. For some reason DVD movies are played back with low volume and this FiiO has done wonders with improving the volume and clarity even.

Voodoo control plus from the market is much better value for money, helps the devs in this forum and has truly amazing sound.
Using an external headphone amp like this is an ugly solution.

Unfortunately, that's not a feasable option for everybody. I own a B70 model TF as well as many others and I'm unable to gain ROOT so the FiiO is a better alternative than Voodoo control. Who's going to pay money for an app they can't even use unless your rooted.
