Loudspeaker?

Have you guys found the loudspeaker on your Sensations to be utterly pathetic? I made a few calls today whilst using the loudspeaker function and on all calls it was borderline impossible to hear the person on the other end of the line due to the sound quality and general distortion.

Use equalizer, mines is awesome now.

+ 1 for Equalizer. There's also Volume+ that has worked for a lot of people. I personally prefer Equalizer.

I don't know what HTC did to make the volume on it so low on their stock apps. Whenever I use it to play music on Google Music, it's really loud. Hopefully they address it in an update.

I used Volume + and it worked great for me the phone is nice and loud now.

I tried Volume+ a few days ago but my loud speaker on a call sounded the same. How are you guys getting the call volume to go louder on the speaker?

I tried Equalizer while on a call using the speaker and I played around with the settings. It seems to be a little louder now.

The setting that worked best for me was Rock with equalizer and virtualizer checked.

Thanks for the update! We were all wondering...

Rock/classical- loud and clear
Heavy metal- projects sound well too
We may need a sound hack similar to the inspire and have it implemented somehow since most of us don't have s off yet

Phone is newly released some things are expected. Still makes it better than other phones I had. More than positive we will get a hotfix.

Oh thanks for that info. I'll use those settings.

What is the headset virtual room thing in dspManager?

In DSPManager, there's an option to make the virtual room like a stage, room, large room, or studio. I've tried them all and I honestly can't figure out what the difference is.... can anyone explain what they do?

They add different reverberation/echo effects to try to simulate being in those types of rooms. Personally I keep these effects off.

I've tried them all on loud volumes and I still can't tell any difference

Those effects are designed for headphones. ... You are using headphones (albiet with super loud volume?), right?

Yeah. I'm using headphones. Its not overly loud, but its loud enough that I should be able to hear a difference

Cool. Just checking

In need of help

Its there any way I can modify something on my phone to make the speaker volume better. I've hour beats audio and that works on headphones and sounds awesome.

AFAIK, there are no mods as it's the speaker itself that limiting it - not Android

Download volume + from the market, worked for me

Volume + also works for me but for me I have to activate the program manually. I don't think there's a setting to make it start on boot or run in background.

Volume + ruined my MIC on 3 sensations.........

Yes, something seems wacky on my mike all. Can I just uninstall?

Mmmm seems like volume + has problems with the sensation I saw once some where that said the hardware was capable but it was limited by the software, just wondered if anybody knew anything about it or if there is a file that can be edited maybe to increase it
or does anybody know how I can instal the system wide version of beats audio?

I believe the latest version of Sense (3.5) corrects this issue. Try one of the great ROMs in the development section. I recommend InsertCoin.

(Request) beats audio

Hey guys I have ibeats by Dr dre and music enhancer kicks in when using any headphones but is there a way to enable enhancer without headphones plugged in , for speaker out , on stock non rooted / rooted device ? , there was a Rom on my previous phone HTC incredible s which had beats audio enhancer even for speaker out , thanks

Nope

No, the stock ROM specifically has this flag to avoid "damaging" the speaker with the lower frequency bass enhancement provided by Beats, apparently.

Does dsp manager work on the one s? It's better than the beats preset and works with and without a connected device

Can't confirm, although its available on AOSP CM10 builds I believe, check the thread...DSP manager is de-odexed (I stand corrected) and will probably NOT work on Sense Based ROMs, it is only available for AOSP builds (CM)

It worked on sense roms for the amaze and g2....

Is there anyway to increase the ringer volume on viper xl 3.1.0? Like a setting or edited file or something? I can never hear it ring.
