Ringtones too quiet!

Hello all. I bought a new sprint nexus s 4g for my wife(rescuing her from her blackberry)and the problem is that all her ringtones and notifications are so quiet she misses calls and texts. She is not interested in rooting her phone, any suggestions on what I can do to make her tones louder?
Any suggestions?

on certain tones, ive increased the gain on the files with audacity. then copy them to usb storage. folders on root called ringtones and notifications.

Thanks for the quick reply, does the phone have to have root to use this method?

nah. just mount usb storage, create folders, named ringtones, notifications. then modify the sound sound files with audacity. export as mp3. then drag and drop them to the appropriate folders.

Thanks.

I have an easier way for you.
Nifty little APK that really boosts the sound and makes sound AMAZING when you combine with voodoo.

Oh yeah, it's low. I missed an alarm the other day. I never missed one with my EVO.

I completely agree with you. The speaker on this phone leaves much to be desired.

Volume+ fixes it all for me.

Guys be careful you don't set it too loud and blow the speaker

Paying for Help via Paypal

First off, I have to say I love the into video for the site... need to make one for my own.. LOL
I just got the HTC Sensation as a surprise gift from my wife, I was gonna hold out and jailbreak a Iphone 5. I know how to do that.
But here I am with a 14 day return policy from T-mobile, and I want to get this phone in working condition to what I need.
IE I am under the gun to make it work.
This is why I am offering Beer money via PayPal for anyone that can help me fix a few minor issues I have with the phone.
First and foremost is Sound... I am hard of hearing, my wife likes to call it selective hearing because i can tune her out every time she starts to *****...
But honestly the sound levels are just way too low. I bought the app Volume + plus. I can't tell if its working or not....
Second I just need someone to walk me through some general stuff about the phone to personalize it to my liking.
Third is to help me get Yahoo and or any other mail service to PUSH my mail forward, I do a lot of business with my phone, and if I have to wait 5 minutes every time i get an email sucks.
Please email me at Sincityelectric at yahoo dot com and add me to skype if you can help me with this phone.. I'll get back to you in 5 to 10 minutes whenever I can hear the email notification, or when ever the darn phone decides its important enough to send it to me... LOL

Surely personalizing a phone to your specific liking is something best done yourself. From the home screen click the tab on the bottom, furthest to the right to begin personlizing.
As for syncing your Yahoo account, there's no intergrated syncing system with HTC but ofcorse you can download the app and place it on your screen as an app shortcut

About the sound, have you tried going into Menu>Settings>Call and check the box where it says Hearing aids?

There is no push email app. There was several on the market but all were pulled. Use volume+ and equalizer for sound. I don't suggest the hearing aid option. If you want to fully personalize download a different launcher with a theme. I have adw ex launcher. They have good themes. As well as Go Launcher ex they have a lot of themes as well. Sense itself doesn't have much to customize but the lockscreen and the wallpaper.

The Yahoo Mail app is pretty good and is push. Free, download it from the Market.
Sound. Sound on the Sensation sucks completely. Volume+ and these other appstore still suck. There's no fix for a crappy speaker HTC made the phone with.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App

Thanks all for some solid advice. I did try the hearing aid, and I did pay for the volume +. Didn't seem to make much of a difference...
D/L the Yahoo mail now and see if that helps.
Now is there anything like installous for Android devices?
I was able to root my HTC Sensation, I was hoping I could get inside and adjust the default Volume ect. Playing music is fine, but the speaker phone is just pure crap...
Again, thank you all for the advice and tips.

All root apps will either be loose here or on android market. If I remember correctly that other app is illegal , and discussing that sort of thing on xda is against the rules

[Audio Mod][WIP]New Project Linda for SGS4G

I'm looking at redoing the whole project Linda. Same voice just different words. Let me know what you all would want to hear Linda saying when you receive a text, im, email, phone call, startup sound, ect. Once I get a good enough idea of what everyone wants I'll create a flashable zip

I'm waiting on a response from angryattheworld with his reverb settings so that I can get the "new" linda sounding just like the "old" Linda

Hmm, haven't seen the first one yet. Does this work on a froyo rom?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App

The original is a couple of threads down from this one. I'll link to it. The original was designed for the Vibrant but most of the sounds work for the SGS4g and was created for Froyo. I'd design this one for to GB.

I'll start working on this very soon. Just started my new network engineering job so I don't have as much free time as I had. I'm looking for a good statement for the startup sound. Anyone got one?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium

I never liked the shutdown sound with the old package and always used the shutdown from ravers bump in the trunk room she said "galaxy system shut Dow n initiated systems offline" or something. Do an inversion like"startup sequence initiated systems online". I also wish the notifications were shorter. Do "incoming text", incoming (whatever)" and do one for a generic/default notification the old one lacked that. Not trying to be picky but you asked for suggestions. Like I said Linda can say whatever she wants

A linda project for GB roms would be AWESOME!!!!! Linda instead of bootloader sounds, and for notifications....this would be awesome. My girl calls my phone Linda, it's kinda jealous of the time i spend on the computer, messing with my phone, but mostly a joke....This would be GREAT!!!

AWESOME!!! I took the ZIP and unzipped it. Then I Replaced the files in my system using the root explorer, with the files in the "Linda.zip" folder, and vioala!!!!
Now, if anyone knows how I can add audio to the boot animation,I have read a ton of posts through searching to no avail let me know...
also this is the voice of the computer "Vicki" from IRobot. How can I get this voice, and manipulate it for a boot animation phrase?

It's called PowerOn.wav . make sure the size its equal to or less than the original and the quality level is exactly the same or it won't work.

So very sorry for leaving yall in the dark on this. My new eork schedule and family issues came up but I will be getting back to it very soon. Waiting on a response from the original creator of Project Linda to get proper pitch and speed settings so the voices are as much a like as possible

He added some special effects to the Linda voice that I'm trying to mock but I can't get the reverb to sound good like he did, the plain "Old-Robot Linda" voice sounds like crap without any reverb to it.

Apple airplay/bluetooth

Hey so I've been messing with two apps, hifi speaker and remote for itunes, to airplay stream music to my phone at home. I was also going to buy a new blue tooth speaker and was wondering if after getting the music streamed to the phone, turning on blue tooth will this then redirect the music to the speaker?
Also, is there an app to give my phone actual airplay capabilities, not just making my phone a receiver for airplay but letting me push music/video out over airplay?
Thanks.

Wait so what music source exactly do you use with this? You said that no rom redirects audio to Bluetooth, yet I find it hard to believe if I connect my phone to a speaker via Bluetooth and play music out of, say Power amp, that THAT wouldn't work.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app

Using power amp only directs to certain BT frequency and when using the stock players it has always stopped when I try to swap to BT of course this is my experience u may have a more compatible BT device but this is just me u can try urself but this is what have found doesn't and hasn't worked
PS when I mean redirect I mean redirect the audio sound from the music player to the by device.

Video with songs

Is the a way to record video's from my phone and use a song instead of what the mic picks up all from the phone or do I have to use the computer. It would be cool if there was a way to actually do that right through the camera app. Maybe someone with the know how can make a mod for that.
