Does ICS have any adjustments to the volume of the speaker phone or headset volume? The Sensation has always had weak volume.

I had the same problem to, tried all things nothing helped, then someone told me about an app called volume+ must be rooted to work the best.....

I got the paid app after I tried it out, more settings.
Not sure I want to root my phone yet. I know its easy to do. Just kind of waiting of ics to see if it makes it better. Wondering if anyone with ics already has seen a change.

Hi, I intalled Equalizer EQ from the market, set in the sittings "automatic" and increased the equalizer. That improved the volume a lot.

You don't have to root with volume +, just to use the in call settings you must have root.... you can use either of the two apps which work fine....

Has anyone else noticed that the volume levels on everything in the phone do not go very loud at full volume? I'm hoping there will be a fix for it soon. Has anyone found an Android Market App that helps or fixes that problem on the Sensation?
My normal player is poweramp. But I found playerpro to give me the loudest sound on the sensation. So it's what I been using

I was thinking more of phone call and speakerphone volumes, but the the built in audio and video players have equally low volume levels. Sad when you can barely hear it in a quiet room.
My ringtones and notifications are pretty loud but when I use speaker phone its far too low to be useful.

Nope, just tried it. It sets the volume to overload levels, and the volume rocker cannot lower it at all.
Reporting back on a somewhat different volume issue. Turns out that when I have wifi calling on, volume is really low when talking on speakerphone.
be careful on that 'hearing aids' setting. I have blown a speaker on a previous device (I think it was an Aria) when I had that setting and used the speakerphone. Doesnt mean it will happen here but just an FYI

Is the speaker volume VERY low or is it just my phone? I have youtube videos turned all the way up, notifications turned all the way up, etc., and it's still not that loud.

Good to know it's not just my phone then. I can live with it.
Me too. I was thinking out was just my phone.
There is already a post about this FYI.....Go to: Settings>Call>Enable "Hearing Aids"
This will help tremendously. Enjoy.
at even the highest setting, its low on my phone. but what i've found out is that the speaker is capable of a very loud sound, but is locked by the software for the highest it can go. what i am talking about is , like for google navigation, turn the volume to the highest setting, and you can see that voice guidance is extremely loud. but for all other things on the phone, its low. so a custom rom would have to increase this setting for everything to be loud, not just voice guidance on google navigation.
It's definitely not a good speaker, but check out an app called Equalizer to boost your levels.
Try volume+ from the market.
I've not got a sensation but I have increased the volume of my lg o2x hugely.

So strange you are all claiming speaker quality is bad. Mine it's great. Very loud and clear/crisp.. Music, videos, calls. Everything. Especially with the SRS enhancement checked.

SRS is great on the HTC apps but doesn't affect Sirius or other media apps.
Well even my youtube videos and speaker phone conversations are loud and crisp on the speaker. No problems with low volume here.

For listening to music on my bt headset I use the equalizer in poweramp to boost the volume, works well for me. For voice calls I find the volume and sound quality to be amazing.

I have nothing about enabling hearing aids, or is this just a joke?
Id like to know why my phones speaker is louder than when I plug external speakers in. This isn't too clever seen as the volume also seens very low on mine. :/
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA Premium App
Hi, yes equalizer seems to help with the speaker by cranking everything up. Still nothing like the results you can get from volume plus.
On the plus side the speaker seems to be better than previous htc devices. I have always been put off by the poor speaker. Motorola speakers I have to have below max!
I will email volume+ developer and see if he or she will update.

Yes, it currently doesn't work on the Sensation and I'm not entirely sure why. I'm currently looking into why it force closes and will then release a bug fix.

Has anyone figured a way to boost the low sound volume on the Sensation yet? Most probably something that requires root? I love everything about the phone except for the speaker

We will need root for this. I had it one time on a samsung phone and it also needed root to boost the loudness.

Try the Volume+(Sound Boost) app from the market. There has been a recent update for the Sensation & EVO 3D.
I'm using Equalizer from the Market with the Rock setting with equalizer and virtualizer checked and I no longer need to have the volume maxed out. Works great but I'm going to compare it to Volume + to see which is better.

Because we all keep buying the issue laden stuff that they put out. They have no impetus to change. They have gotten away with it for this long so why change now? I believe they also rely heavily on the fantastic dev's in this forum to pick up after them and find the solutions to issues that they do not want to take the time to discover. If we all just boycotted buying the newest -greatest- latest for a couple of months and started asking for refunds after the first issue laden device (instead of hanging on hoping for the elusive perfect one and accepting multiple devices and unkept promises from the OEM)they might get the message. Of course this would take away the fun of having cutting edge technology and I would have to find something else to grumble about.LOL
how loud do you people think that little ass speaker is supose to be its not bigger than the hd2 speaker wich is a whole lot louder face it your going to f up your speaker trying to make it louder
Volune+ app works wonders on this phone and its free no root needed enjoy.

The lack of external speaker volume on the mt4gs is appalling.
Coming from other HTC devices I never thought this to be even a concern. Clearly something is impeding the sound, be it physical or software related.
I was even more dismayed after hearing a friend's new Droid Bionic extra loud and him mentioning it was not even turned up all the way.
Any suggestions for a stock device? Just would enjoy hearing some rock and roll not sound like elevator music.
The kernel controls volume of the speakers mainly. Sense there is no kernel source I can't change those settings. And yes the speakers on HTC devices all suck ass.

G1 and Nexus 1 both don't seem to be nearly as poor as MT4GS in the external speaker volume. All are HTC.
It seems almost like the developers of the software left it in a low mode for the build pushed out to everyone.
I can boost the volumes once code is released.

If you think the speaker volume on this phone is appalling, then you should try the Sensation. You'll quickly realize that according to HTC's recent releases, its not THAT bad.

The paid version of Volume + fixes the volume issue.
somehow it looks like volume + doesn't get along with my music player's EQ...
Hoping for a stock app option, though obviously less likely.

It uses the AudioEffects API do you think that someone could enclude this in a rom to give us similar functionality? I mean most of us don't want the EQ settings just the Volume enhancing capabilities.
Regular volume + helped me.

Hello everybody
I have installed latest version of volume + from the application website itself in my unrooted mobile phone.
I have disabled hearing aids feature too.
I haven't installed dsp manager too.
But still even if however I configure the application volume is not even increasing a small bit, decreasing it but not increasing the volume even a small bit.
Please suggest whether am I missing anything.
