any way to turn the in call volume up?

My only gripe is the in call volume is way too low.

Have you checked the Hearing aid compatibility under your settings. On my vibrant, HAC mode made it really loud.

I've searched, I've read threads, I still havent found a good solution to this. I have the in call volume turned all the way up just to have it at a "normal" volume level, but then when I get one of those people with a quiet phone, I have no more adjustment to turn it up louder.
Why is it so hard to build a phone where the LOW volume is at a "normal" level so you can use the HIGH level for certain times you have a quiet call or are in a loud environment (like a shop where I work)?
I have Volume+ on my phone, but it doesnt do anything for the in-call volume. Also, when I go into settings/call there is NO OPTION for hearing aid whatever on any of the ROMs I've been running.
Does anyone know what file it is in the ROM which dictates the volume? Or is it in the kernel? Anything that could help? This is severely aggravating...

Anyone?

.. volume plus does not increase in-call volume, as the man says:
" Hi
I'm currently attempting to raise/improve the call volume but have so far been unsuccessful (when a call is active, the phone takes over all audio control, which i'm trying to get back, but I don't know if it's even possible).
For news and updates please see my website "

Hmmm...I was sure Volume+ also worked for in call volume...guess not

Yup. It works for my headphones and external speaker, but not the in call speaker.

There's an option in call settings for "Hearing aids" that says it'll bump up in-call volume. Haven't used it yet, so I don't know how well it works.
Granted I'm guessing it's -only- for phone calls, so for music/video playback I don't have an answer for you unfortunately.

Do you mean the speaker is as low as other HTC?
I thought it will be better than DHD and N1...

volume sucks
Low volume is one of the issues that bugs me with Sensation. The ring volume is low even at max and volume trough headphones is way too low.
This needs to be addressed by HTC ASAP in their new ROM.

The Stock music app has a feature called "SRS enhancement" It helps with the sound quality tremendously! It can be used either while listening to music or with the stock video player.

I've had good results from an app called Equalizer.

I changed the hearing aids setting and it has helped a lot for calls.

The "hearing aid" option does help out with the volume not just for calls but all other audio output as well. I guess I must be hard of hearing (by HTC's standards) because I really don't understand why the phone had such a low volume setting to begin with.

Well let's hope the Volume+ developer get it to work with the Sensation. I Just send him an email....

Hearing Aid is annoying because it doesn't help with speakerphone AND you can't lower the volume!

I installed volume+ today and it makes huge difference in sound quality
I think it is now supportable to HTC sensation
Thanks to its developer

Volume + Updated and I must say.......

This app seems to be solving the issue with a low volume notification speaker. I find that the VR settings works the best and I notice a SIGNIFICANT difference.
volume+.apk 1.7.0

What are the appropriate settings? Like an average level boost?

I'm playing with it now. So far VR just gives a super tinny distorted sound. My preference for speaker is EQ on treble boost, bass enhance on +4 and volume level @ +8 for SRS. For ringtones I have it set to eq=goodquality, bassenhance=+3 and Volume=+8.
Stock ringtones don't require any fine tuning and sound pretty good regardless of setting but if you use music files with vocals you're not gonna be happy without playing around to find your preference. You're going to want to keep bass low no matter what with this speaker.
I haven't messed with the settings beneath that which seem to be fine tuning eq controls.

Link for those who had to go look for it. (Like I did)

I believe that is warez, because i just paid for volume+ yesterday..

Not warez. Volume+ is free on the dev's website, it supposedly has less features than the market version...

I saw that option as well, but I figured I'd pay for it if it worked, which it does...well.
I have no problems paying for it. The dev worked hard to get this working and out on the market for us impatient hard hearing owners lol....

Oh ok, my mistake.

Ya this worked really well, i d/l the app from the site but ill go and buy this. Really big improvement when using speaker phone and on a call.

Can someone post the best setting for speaker phone volume for this app

still playing with the settings but works great so far.

I can't say that this works for speakerphone. I see the sound differences when playing music and ringtones but there is absolutely no difference on a call.
When on a call in speakerphone, try turning bass up and down, volume up and down etc. You will see it doesn't respond to anything.

Just wait for the volume mod from the evo3d to get released for the sensation. Unlocking may come first though.

The download file is a ZIP file and there is no apk in there. Can someone please guide me on how to install Volume+

Just rename the zip file from zip to apk.(VolumePlus1.7.0.zip to
VolumePlus1.7.0.apk)

Awesome Thanks, works like a charm now.

perhaps the developer got a wind of it and changed it but I just downloaded it and it's a APK file.

I have to disagree. My wake alarm which uses the speakerphone was pretty low as the app setting was to read on loud. After upping the speaker and headset settings to the max volume, it wasn't bazooka tube loud thump but it was loud enough to wake me up .

Good settings for volume+

Hello fellow HTC sensation owners
As you might know, the sound on the sensation isn't very high. That is why you can get the app called Volume+ . With that you can adjust some settings and get higher and better sound. I got some setting that will do that so follow this:
This is in speaker settings.
Speaker Modifications (on(of course))
Virtual room effect (on)
EQ settings ( Good quality)
Volume Level(15)
Bass level(8)
Virtual room (3)
Low: 200
Low/mid: 168
Mid: 136
Mid/high: 34
High: 96
Volume level:15
Bass boost: 15
Echo/delay level: 1
These are the settings, I hope it helped your experience. I've tried it with headset settings as well, and it seems to help. If I helped remember to hit the THANKS button

Volume level 15?? that would be dangerous.. Thanks fire settings.. Will try it ...

Volume + works on my S4G but the app doesn't seem to run in the background at phone start up. I just click on the app icon then hit home button so it runs in the background then, but it does work for me.

I have tried this app before... Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I can gather it artificially boosts the volume, it doesn't make the phone properly louder.
When a quiet part of a song is playing the app boosts it, but when something really loud is playing, it stays loud, it doesn't become louder since the hardware is already pushed to the max. This way music gets distorted :\
But if I missed something and this app actually somehow "adds more volume", please tell me, since I could use more volume

Volume+ works fine on my Senny.
I'm working with an older built though. (1.7.3 I think...)

I would play a song, then open Volume+ with the song playing and as you make adjustments in Volume+ you can hear the changes happening. Works just fine for me

I tried your settings so far it hasnt killed it

are you guys having any success increasing in-call volume? Not really working for me on arhd sense 3.0 or 3.5.

not working..help pls

HEY..try this...it might work ..and TRY IT AT YOUR OWN RISK!
Use Root Explorer
At the top right hand corner switch from mount r/o to r/w
Go to Systems/build.prop
At the bottom of build.prop text file add this line;
ro.config.vc_call_vol_steps=10
save, mount r/o
Reboot
:good: Hope this works!

Go to Engineer Mode and increase the level.

Just go in to engineer mod by dialing *#*#3646633#*#* and set audio level but don't set more than 150....otherwise it will damage you're speaker. If you want to changer the speaker sound or Media sound you can do that in here also.
Note: I don't know whether this will work on unrooted phones because I tried this only in my rooted micomax a110.

Just go in to engineer mod by dialing *#*#3646633#*#* and set audio level To 155 its Stable im Use That On Many Times Ago
