[Q] Can the speaker be modified?

Can the speaker in the Nexux S be replaced with a louder better quality speaker? Is there a tutorial or mod out?

I have seen no such mods, however I believe Supercurio is planning on adding a gain mod for the in-call volume.

I noticed at the highest volume the Nexus S starts to clip/distort. If the gain mod is applied, will that only increase the distortion?

[Q] why my phone's speaker volume is low?

I bought nexus 5 a month ago. from then i don't know weather this is the problem or the volume of speaker is built low. i am getting very low ringing volume . while on cal its loudspeaker volume is very good and while on head set volume is also very good. only problem is while ringing a cal or while playing music via loud speaker the volume is below average. i went to service center they just took one more nexus 5 which they had(that one was other customers phone which has a software bug) and compare it with that phones speaker that phone is also giving same volume. but i have read reviews that its speaker has very good sound. and it has around 65db sound. my friend has iphone 5 it has 68db which sounds very good(while ringing). but mine with less just 3db difference is not even half i think. i saw in internet lg released an hardware upgrade so that speakers can be changed is that correct? how can i fix this?

This is a well known issue.
You can flash this zip http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2532788
There are a few other methods as well. You can also look at viper4android or faux sound deal.

I use the sound file called sedna..with no fixes I can hear it clear across the house even without full volume.

It already exists as a selectable ring tone under Sound settings.

You`l have to root to increase loudness, read the first 4 threads in the General section first first first first and don`t use toolkits

It isn't a defect, all of them are pretty quiet. I just flashed franco kernel and used his app to boost the speaker volume. It's almost too loud now...the lowest setting was the highest one before.

Kitkat sound volume

Has anyone found a way to *really* increase the sound volume from the nexus 5 speakers? I'm staying on kitkat.

Yes. This program can it - "Nexus 5 Real Volume Booster".

Thanks for the tip. I installed and tried it. Does seem to make a difference - though not as much as I would have like. (I chose 90 for the speakers). Still better than nothing.
Thank you.

92 speaker volume did it for me.
Thanks for the tip.

Boost earphones volume

Hi everyone
I have noticed that the max volume with earphones on is still too low compared to my old Note 3.
\Any way we can boost this past max volume ? I have tried all setting in audio but none has solved my issue. I think its just a fact that S6 have lower volume when earphones are on.
If possible i would prefer not to root.
Thanks !
Sorry for my bad english,

For the most part I listen to music one or even two steps lower then max volume and it is very loud ... Maybe you should not use default ear buds ... Buy better ... I have one monster by Dr dre and they are loud as hell ...

Install cm audio fx from tmobile forum of the s6 in the theme section. Works great to boost the volume.
