Hi
I went and had a look at a nexus 5 and found the ringing volume very low.
Is there any way to increase this so it is loud enough to hear when in a jeans pocket in a loud room?

There are many kernels that will be coming out that will in fact make the N5 louder than normal. Google has said that there is a fix in the works that will help increase volume. I currently using Franco kernel and volume is better. Stay tuned.

Can you please cite the source for the google volume fix. This sounds like great news and I hope we get it soon. I have viper4android and even that isn't sufficient enough.

I second Vilume+, its a essentially SIGNIFICANTLY enhanced version of DSP manager
From what I have heard Voodoo Sound increases volume and makes music sound better as volume gets louder. Basically an amp. To run voodoo sound you have to have the right kernal installed. I think faux's 0.3.8 kernal works for a bunch of different roms including CM7. You can install voodoo sound from the market. If I'm wrong please someone correct me.
Both faux's kernal and voodoo sound have glowing reviews. Check the Development section for faux's kernal.
yes volume+ is good

Unless it's changed in the past couple of weeks, Voodoo on the G2x only helps with headphone/line out audio. It does not impact speaker sound yet.
Alright thanks guys, ill try those to see how it goes.
Volume+ works ok but I found it to be sub par with sound quality.

Just tried volume+ and still same for me:/. Going to be trying out some more to hopefuuly raise my volume up on audio.
Volume boost is a good simple app that does not distort sound quality. However it only boosts headphone volume, not ext speaker.

On volume + , the virtual room enabled gives the speaker a fuller sound.

Lol no it doesn't it just adds an echo to make it sound like it's in a big place.
Nvm guys it does work lol, i tried volume control + instead of volume+ lol, and its just what i wanted. Thanks for the help guys appreciated it
Does Volume Control + increase the volume more

Type in volume+ (sound boost). Should look like the first one in the list.

any way to boost speaker/ringer volume?
i'm currently on 2.3.4 (havn't gotten any ota's) and i don't want to root or pay for volume+......
If you want louder volume pay for it.

Download audio manager free, you'll be able to check of you've got a volume bottleneck. If you haven't, you could export your ringtone audio file to your computer and find some free audio maximisation software to boost it's RMS power by compressing the peaks and raising the gain. Distortion lasting less than 4ms is generally considered to be inaudible, so you may be able to raise the sound level by as much as 20dB assuming a normalised original recording with a natural dynamic range. Of course the limiting factor is the amplification circuit in the phone itself which may not be able to handle the higher power requirements, again leading to distortion.
Sent from the future to put right what once went wrong.
I think I've noticed that brainmaster's MIUI has got some sound improvements over stock Android.
I believe any voodoo kernel will boost the volume. Free.

Equalizer
go on the market and try equalizer, it's free and it worked pretty good on the NS4G. at least for me it did. and at the time i didn't root my phone.
I'm curious as to what voodoo is. I keep hearing its name and I kind of understand it. Would it boost my speaker volume? I don't listen to music on my phone as I have an iPod for that. So would I benefit from this? How do I go about adding it? I am on HellFire 1.8 bye too. I'm sorry if this has been asked already I did a search and didn't see anything.

If you don't listen to music on your phone, it doesn't really make a difference for you. On the G2x, it just increases headphone volume. But if you did want it, install Voodoo control from the Market, plug in some headphones, and enable it. From there, you can increase the Max dB settings to increase/decrease volume.
Sent from my MIUI G2x
Thanks for the quick reply. Do you have any suggestions for a good and safe volume boost? My speakers seem really quiet.

Not just volume...it also changes the dynamics of the sound production.... http://project-voodoo.org/

On Galaxy S phones, it has a huge increase in sound quality. On the G2x, it only affects volume, based on personal experience. From the Market description:
Market description said:
Introduces LG Optimus 2x and T-Mobile G2x support.
11.Sound quality is not yet optimal on these devices: needs a lot of work to fix LG issues in their audio implementation and then add more quality optimizations.

volume+ for boost on speakers I believe, and ya I only notice volume with voodoo with headphones no real sound improvements in my opinion.
The DSP Manager lets you tweak the sound as well and I noticed a big improvement in quality using that. It comes with HFP
Pin it to Win it.
Don't give false info...u can't just install the app. You have to have a kernel that enables it. The app just controls it

From the Market for Voodoo Sound app.
Description
This app controls Voodoo sound for Galaxy S, Nexus S phones Galaxy Tab and Asus Transformer running custom kernels implementing Voodoo patches.
If you don't want or cannot flash a kernel, my commercial app "Voodoo Control Plus" has the ability to load Voodoo Sound with only root.
Stock CM kernel does not support Voodoo, but Faux's does.
Just FYI

The only benifit to the g2x that i know of is the increase in dB which is helpful for using with a tape player adapter in a car stereo and driving headphones with slightly higher Ohms.
Also, I get louder volume on the tape adapter which helps with avoiding static by not having to turn the volume up so high.
Just upgraded to rooted stock rom vrbmf1 from stock rooted vrbmb1 and flashed vrbmf1 firmware. The only problem I have now is that none of my sound equalizer programs work. Specifically Speaker Boost the one I use most. The max speaker volume I can acheive now is way too low to hear. With Speaker Boost on vrbmb1 it was pretty loud.
I tried the insanely loud mod, which replaces the default_gain.conf in /system/etc, but it does not work presumably because media volume no longer looks for that file.
So, my question is can anything be done with the stock rom vrbmf1 to increase the speaker volume?

Thanks for the tip. Installed viper4android but it didn't make the volume any louder. But if I disable it the volume goes down so low it's hard to tell if it's on, even at highest system volume. I think maybe I'll just break down and try Scott's Bone Stock Rom. I noticed it has a volume booster built in.

Are you trying to stay with TouchWiz or would you go AOSP? If you'd consider AOSP, I'll recommend LiquidSmooth v2.7. Battery life is outstanding. Volume is actually pretty dang good also.

Doh! I forgot to disable Speaker Boost and it was interfering with V4Android. V4Android works great! Speaker volume is increased just like Speaker boost used to do, and headphone volume is insane. Bluetooth is much clearer with the tweaking to the settings I did.
I'm a happy camper. Thanks for your help.

Hey people,
I'm coming from an HTC phone with beats audio. I enjoyed the volume boosting properties of Beats and am wondering if something like this yet exists for the Nexus 5. Audio through headphones is too low for me. Thanks
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
There is a faux kernel modification but I have yet to hear that this boosts headphone output as well. I hope so because it is the only major quip I have with the phone
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
I noticed the low headphone volume also. I hope Google ups it a bit in an update when they fix the speaker.
Yeah, it's definitely something that has been bothering me. The headphones that I have, because they allow in ambient noise, are not well suited for a phone with such low volume range. I really hope we can get an EQ flash soon. Something ala beats would be great.
