Is it possible to boost the speaker volume for incoming calls?

Im with the builtin ROM, android version 2.3.5 Sense 3.0.
Is there anything that really works?
Thanks in advance

i don't believe so. there is a file in system\etc that you can either modify or flash a zip via recovery to enhance your headphones and call volume quality and sound.

I just bought my HTC SENSATION and I'm new to the adnroid world.
What do you mwnae when you say " modify or flash a zip via recovery".
By the way - it maked better the sound only through headphones?
Is it ammplifies the ringtine volume when someone calling me?
Thanks

you'll need to s-off to do that mod i've listed. read the development section for guides. you might want to try some apps from the market first. i think people were talking about a volume+ app or something.

i don't think the one i've listed does anything to the ring tone itself.

He's talking about the ringer, I also can't hear my phone ring in a street, while it is in my pocket.

Replaced file with modded file and it wouldn't load any sounds. Luckily I backed up. I'll try doing it manually.

EDIT: manually changed the volume to 90 only on speaker which I wanted (headphones is loud enough lol) and it works a treat. So I'm guessing its something to do with that file...

file worked with me like a charm

SM-N9005 4.4.2 Volume Boost
Hi,
I am on SM-N9005 4.4.2 (OXX - Open Europe) rooted CWM n9005-cwm-recovery-6.0.4.6-kitkat(0113).
Updated:System/etc/mixer_paths.xml
path name speaker 81 -> make it 90
path name headphones 20 -> make it 30
beauty!!! Thanks
Bluetooth volume stays the same. Any chance anyone can assist with Bluetooth pathname and volume setting?
I used Volume_Boosting_Sound_VERY_LOUD.zip with 4.3 and the Bluetooth was very loud.
Can Volume_Boosting_Sound_VERSION_2_VERY_LOUD be used on 4.4.2?
Is there a tested volume Boosting zip file for SM-N9005 4.4.2 Kitkat (OXX - Open Europe)?
Thanks
ee

Thanks a million for this mod
I am on 4.3 at the moment as 4.4 isn't available in my country yet and I don't want to factory reset just to update.
Can someone tell me how to apply this mod on 4.3? I am new to Note 3 so I haven't followed this thread for long.
Thanks

Is this the maximum we can increase the volume of More 3?
I applied this mod but the difference was... Not too big for me on 24bit vinyl tracks. can we amplify it further?
I just read that there was a "moderate increase", "loud increase" and "very loud increase" mods for 4.3. I haven't heard those mods myself so I am asking. Is this mod at the level of "very loud" mod of 4.3 or "loud" or "moderate"?
Thanks for replying

Well mate if you want your headphones to go louder you just have to change the value 20 (or 30 if you already edited it) to a higher number.
That is if it worked in the first place. The mod only works for the speaker (which I've actually reverted back to 81 since it was full of distortions), I'm currently fiddling with the lines hoping something will work for the headphones.

Success! I can't believe so many people confirmed it working without even testing it! Anyways the OP has pretty found the right place to edit, but instead of changing the value 20, you have to change the value 77 to whatever you wish. I set mine to 90 and has provided a tremendous boost in sound, the volume is much better than before. I don't see why do you have to be editing system settings to get normal volume though, and the annoying "Warning you are increasing above safe levels" warning.. are Samsung really that worried about everyone going deaf?
PS: I would strongly recommend leaving the value 81 for the speaker and setting 86 for the headphones (at least for my headphones, sound gets distorted at max volume after that. probably gonna be different for every individual depending on your headphones)

V1
- Dual speaker
- Increased headset volume
- Increased handset volume in calls
- Increased volume for dual speakers
V2

- Little increased handset speaker volume when playing media
V3
- Fix a problem in the sound redirection to handset speaker when playing media
- Now the call speaker sound much better when playing media
V4
- Increase call volume
- Increased headphone volume (Is the max for original S7 headphones, but perfect for big headphones)
- Slightly decrease Bluetooth call and media volume
INSTALLATION:
1 - Make a backup
2 - Flash zip
3 - Reboot
Tested and work perfectly on:
Samsung S7 930F
Tested and problems on:

I deleted the V5 because i do a lot of test and the V4 is perfect.
Test it watching a trailer or any HD content and is increible.
With multimedia content that is very pre amplificated, i prefer to down volume manually y volume down key.
But with content with low volume, is good to have margin to up the volume.
and yes, all versions are dual speaker.

We have only "one speaker meant for music" which is located under the phone. The second one is the earpiece which located next to the selfie camera. The second one is only used for calls, however this mod enables to use both for music and video, enabling a sort of a surround effect.
Use with caution, as the earpiece speaker can be damaged at higher volumes since it was not meant for music.

The S7 have a 1.5w main speaker and a 1.2w hearpiece
The people are using a similar mod since s4 and there is no problem while the values are safe and the s7 have a very good hearpiece compared with old models.

surround sound mod

i've been using the surround sound mod (enabling sound through earpiece speaker when using media) on my nexus 5 for several years. Is there something similar for oneplus phones? (op3 being delivered next week )

you wont need it as the audio is killer on the device.

Fair enough, but it still won't be stereo right?

I'll do it as soon as I get my device

Try viper4Android or Dolby digital sound Mod.. Works fine

Sorry, but the sound is not killer ? Try out Huawei Mate 8, then you know killer sound. Huawei P9 Plus with its stereo speaker is not better than OnePlus 3. So we can be happy with the speaker. Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ speaker is a bit better. Galaxy S7 Edge speaker is as good as OnePlus 3. HTC 10 disappointed me the most. Worst speaker

Waiting for this mod.

You probably haven't used Lenovo Vibe X3 which has an output of 120 decibels from its stereo speakers with ESS SABRE 9018C2M.

How does the sound compare to the s7 edge and nexus 6p?

Any update on a surround sound mod for this?

OOS is a pain in the ass, moving to a cm base and seeing if I have better luck

In case you still haven't got your device: let me know if you need to test something, more than willing to help

Tinkering with the mixer paths right now. Headphones are fine but speaker volume is horrible. Vibration is horrible on this phone too.

Yeah, I'm willing to help in any way possible if it means dual speaker output!

For some reason both CM and OOS us mixer_paths_tasha.XML instead of mixer_paths.xml.
This means two things
1. It's definitely going to harder to identify which value corresponds to what peice of hardware
2. Theoretically we would only need one mod for cm and OOS
If anyone figures out the values for the speaker, let me know because so far I'm not having any luck

is this just a matter of try and error until the values are found or is there a chance at "no stereo at all"?

[MOD][Magisk][Oreo / Pie] Dual Speaker Mode for N5X systemlessly

Update: Tested and working on Pie also
About
This Module uses the Mixer file from this thread: [Mod] SURROUND SOUND
I just created a systemless module for Magisk
Code:
* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
* do some research if you have any concerns about features included.
Nexus 5X has 2 speakers but one is limited for calls only...
So this module enables the earpiece for media and your call speaker will work as secondary speaker
Perfomance
I've tested it on latest stock 8.1.0 (OPM7.181005.003, Oct 2018) & working without any problem or distortion in sound :laugh:
Call sound is not affected by this mod as it only enables the earpiece while playing media ( video, audio, ringtone, etc )
Download
Google Drive
Installation
* Magisk Version required: 17.0 above
1. Download the Dual Speaker Mode for N5X zip from GDrive or from attached file here
2. Flash through the Magisk Manager App or through latest TWRP
Uninstallation
Just flash the module zip again from either Magisk Manager app or TWRP...

Also, the first speaker has distortion but I think it's because of my kernel.

Hello again.
I'm having troubles. I'm a rock and metal guy mostly so when I listen to some songs the principal guitar, specially in solos, sounds so quiet and the second guitar sounds louder.
I know this isn't from the song because i tested in other device and my PC too.
Do you anything about this? Any settings or something?
I put the gain in 0 again to test.

Basically the ear piece speaker is small, has lower sound than primary media speaker and is only for calls. We enabled it for media also but the sound can never be equal to the primary speaker
Unfortunately it's not a pure stereo experience like Nexus 6P
