Does anyone else struggle to hear the phone ringing when it's in a pocket outside? I've missed loads of calls.
Any way to make it louder?

Washer, you might be interested looking in HERE if you are rooted.
So far mine doesn't have any problem as my phone speaker is facing upwards in my pocket. I haven't tried yet the mod yet so if someone can report here it is working it would be great.
Hope this helps!
I have my phone upside down too! Not rooted, breaks too many of my apps

Try either "Sweet Child of Mine - GnR", "Still Got the Blues - Gary Moore", or "Bad to the Bone - George Thorogood", as ringtones.
Strange... My phone is so incredibly loud i always fear the speakers will break one day
But Im rooted and have several sound tweaks...

Try to increase the sound of the ringtone file. You can do it with some third party softwares. I used to do that with Nero's wave editor.

Excuse me, but how root could break apps?
Using FauxSound the phone is insanely loud now.
Custom kernel needed.

I was wondering the same. Sounds like the kool-aide that the OEM's and carriers pass out. lol

Do you guys have a weird sort of squeak, or twinge when the vibration goes off?
I do not, no.
But that would be extremely annoying.

It is extremely annoying! If I hold the phone tightly in my hand while I make it vibrate the secondary noise ceases to make sound but otherwise, its there. I have a hunch that it's the camera auto-focus lens that's making the secondary sound, but I really have no clue. Kinda blows.

Never really paid attention until I noticed that I couldn't really hear you tube videos and music! Which was fine before, it was loud enough! So it was then I realized sound was only coming out one side so dunno!
I'm getting a replacement either way and I'll compare the two!
...
it's been confirmed numerous times that one is a mic and the other is a speaker.

i use a program like total recorder to boost the volume of my ringtones,then copy them back to my sdcard. there are a couple of free apps online that do the same.

How is that lame? You would prefer two speakers and no mic? Then it wouldn't be a phone, would it?
2 speakers and a Mic would be nice. Other than the noticeably low volume I love this phone.

volume+ seems to let you do some audio tweaking i had the same problem where my audio was all the way up and wasnt very loud i downloaded and installed Volume+ i think it is on the market not sure but this allowed me to run my volume at 1/2 up and its loud as heck
it sets speaker, headset and as well as bluetooth volume levels
This doesn't allow me to boost past factory settings

I really hate that when i have headphones in, or speakers, the phone still makes the sound for a notification.
I found this tasker script that SHOULD do it, but i can't get it to work.
Anybody smarter than me wanna help me get it to work?

Try putting the phone on vibrate lol
If you have a kernel that supports Voodoo Sound, what you can do is install the Voodoo Sound app and enable the "Don't interrupt music" setting. That setting puts your phone on silent whenever you have headphones plugged in. Super convenient

Like some GB roms where it would play the notification sound without messing with the music volume?

i dont care about the music. here is what i want:
i want to have headphones or a speaker in
i want my notification volume one
i want the notification to play through the connected speaker
i dont want the notification to play through the phone speaker
the tasker script is supposed to play a media file like it would a ringtone (recognizing a text and playing the media file through the headphones/speaker), however it does not work.

Nikcu13,
Ok, so it sounds like this might make for a neat libaudio/SGS4GParts hack for this kind of functionality.
File an enhancement bug here.
In the issue, be as detailed, if not more then you were in post #6
Thanks!

Dude you are way too demanding for this...the developer (bhund) already told you to open a git hub issue. Also, if it's so simple do it yourself...people here try to help but they aren't your workers. So relax with your demands/screaming in here.

You're right. It is probably something super easy.
But, I am unemployed. I have a wife and daughter, and limited time to even look at my sgs4g.
When I do stuff, I get a bunch done in a little time frame. Probably about 5 hours a week.
The rest of the time, I'm trying to get a job, interviewing, dealing with rejection, taking my daughter to the playground, figuring out how I'm going to pay my bigger bills, etc...
You could always bone up and learn some C and go look at the wm8994 driver and libaudio in the device tree and fix it yourself. I know hampsterblade did it once, and we happily merged his change!
Is this just a touchwiz issue? Is there an app that will stop the sound from going over the speaker? I assume the people at work are getting sick of hearing the whistle when I get a text or an update on words with friends. I love being able to hear them over my headphones, just want them to not go out over the speaker at the same time.
Just rooted, no other tweaking.
I'm going to be the guy who bumps my own thread. Hoping someone missed it who might have a solution. I have tasker but stink at making profiles.

Hey all. Normally I use a Bluetooth headset for all my calls, but occasionally I don't have it on me. When I take a call using the phone's regular speaker I can barely hear the person on the other end. If I have any background noise, it's impossible to hear them. I've got my sound turned up to max. Anyone have some suggestions?

Since 4.4.2 both speakers on mine get incredibly loud. The N5's earpiece speaker is small (small circle rather than a long slit) so you do need to play with it some to get it set properly on your ear. Call someone and talk to them (indoors and quiet preferably) and adjust the phone on your ear till you hear it best. That's the position you'll need to use. I got used to it quickly and use about 40% volume even while in car at highway speeds and it is loud enough for me. Maybe clean your ears with a q-tip?:laugh:jk
See if that helps, if not maybe something is going on with your earpiece speaker?

Hard to troubleshoot when you're running custom software (rom +kernel +old radio). If to really want to get to the bottom of it (imo) you should go back to stock 4.4.2 with NO mods and see if it does it. Otherwise you're just shooting blanks (again imo). Anyone in the PA/faux/radio thread experiencing similar?

trickster mod
Install trickstermod kernel settings app and go to kernel settings, see if you can increase the gain for the speaker. If there isn't an option, you need to change kernel to one that allows sound tweaking (elementalx does) and then boost the gain through trickstermod app, or another free kernel settings app of your choosing. Changing the gain is a kernel setting that gives a very good boost to sound levels.
Figured it out. My screen protector had a cut out for the speaker, but I never popped it out. Took it off and I can actually see the speaker now!
