Need to boost headphone volume - Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys
Is there any way to boost the headphone volume? i already tried a few apps but they don't boost the audio in any way, I even tried the EQs but they actually LOWER the volume when applied. I'm running stock no root. Thanks for any help.

[Q] Help - Terrible in-call volume

Folks,
On my HTC Sensation, the in-call volume is so low that I can hardly hear the caller. I always have to switch to the speaker.
My in-call volume is set to max.
I think this happened after htc-sync upgraded the OS version to 2.3.4. My wife has exactly the same model but she does not have this problem. Her phone has not yet been upgraded.
I called HTC. They tell me that it is a known issue and to check back with them periodically. A lame answer:-(.
I would appreciate it if anyone has any idea on how to get my in-call volume back.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Regards,
Peter
i'm experiencing the same low in-call volume, so i rooted my device and installed the leaked HTC Sense 3.5 ROM and it's better, but not where i want it to be. i also flashed the TMOBUS (T Mobile US) rooted stock ROM and it has a HAC (Hearing Aid Compatible) feature that significantly boosts in-call volume, but you cannot adjust the volume. it's been my experience that volume boosts can be added to the kernel. i wish i knew how to do that... also, don't know if the source code has been released .... wish i could offer more help!

that's not going to work... you have to tweak the kernel (or some other object) to boost in-call volume. (i would love to be wrong, but i tried that app already)
+1 on vol plus you can also trie mikes revolution 4.1 which is the 3.5 sense leak. volume was a major improvement. developement has just started on this leak but i ran it with no major problems

The APP does not affect the earpiece or call volume. Its only for the speaker and music.
Volume + has boosted ALL volume settings on my phone including speaker. My experience has been
that the app needs to be manually activated as it seems to not start up at boot or run in background.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
Root your phone and use volume + or dsp manager. Works like a charm. My volume is LOUD

i agree that the program works with in-call volume settings, or the same setting that you can adjust while on a call. the program does not amplify - or boost - the in-call volume like one can by manipulating the kernel (or other objects) so that it's louder. this type of manipulation is like adding an power-amplifier to a home-theater AV receiver. the net effect: on my Inc S with a stock kernel, my in-call volume setting would be level 4 (of 5). using a kernel with audio boost, my in-call volume setting is 2 and at most 3.

I bought the paid version of volume + over the weekend and actually got it to boost/amplify my call volume tremendously.
My only problem now is my new Anker battery is being drained at abnormal rates as a result from using this app. A 20 minute call costs 20=30% of battery life vs. before the app was installed.
Obviously the CPU is getting a work out just running the app. I would think the increased voltage to the speaker would constitute as some kind of amplification like a home theatre system.
Has anyone else experience abnormal battery life as a result from usning this app?

[Q] [P] Ringtone Volume

Hi,
I'm new to this forum but I must say it's a good way to learn everything on mod for android!
I'm a happy user of the new google phone Nexus 5 but I have one problem lots of user are experimenting and can't find a solution :
The ringtone volume is very low and I miss lots of calls.
I've installed fauxsound but it only increase music played in google play apps or youtube !
I've tried volume+ without success.
I'm now searching for a mod/app (my phone is rooted) to hear my ringtone!
Thanks

Afaik, no such mod or app yet exists. As a workaround, you could amplify the ringtone(s) you use with a program like Audacity. Helps a bit.
Best option for now is to root and install Viper4Android. It is perhaps the best audio driver replacement there is and will allow you to increase the speker volume by as much as 6dB.

Assuming you are rooted, unlocked, and the app/driver installed.
Settings, Sound, Music Effects - Viper4Android
in the Viper4Android control switch to Phone Speaker
Check Enabled
Settings, UI Settings - Moderate or Expert
Scroll all the way down and adjust the Output Gain
You can also play with the EQ to boost the most audible frequencies.
At least on my phone the call announce and ringtone are as loud as any phone I have ever owned.
In the very worst case it will give you nice control over how the music sounds.

(MOD) The best all around volume booster( any variation available just ask) updated

NOTE PLEASE READ ENTIRE POST
Note will not flash thru PhilZ recovery use either twrp or cwm
As of right now these mods do not work on stock lollipop ROMs or cm12.1 but the ones at the bottom of the op work with aosp lollipop ROMs at least the ones I've tested if you find one that doesn't work with an aosp ROM please let me know so I can adjust the op accordingly thank you
OK warning first this mod makes all the volumes very LOUD speaker/headset and Bluetooth so just a warning I'm not responsible for you blowing out your eardrums or speakers there is some distortion at the volume all the up but the main reason I made it this way is for hooking up external speakers which if there decent speakers can handle the volume so you've been warned now here's the mod
And as a reference stock value is 60
These are for stock ROMs use the ones below for aosp and cm roms

These are for aosp Roms and cm ROMs ie slimkat. Note with also on some variants of the lg g2 you will lose sound awith all the new versions of lollipop they keep changing the stock values on aosp ROMs some lose volume all together and some are just to loud. I'm currently working on a fix so please take that into consideration when choosing a mod to flash. NOTE THEY DO ALL WORK WITH AOSP ROMS JUST SOME ROMS HAVE A DIFFERENT STOCK VALUE THEN OTHERS SO I CAN'T POST A STOCK CAME FOR REFERENCE. SO REMEMBER TO MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP FIRST BEFORE FLASHING ANY OF THESE MODS

Flash in recovery and wipe caches very important or you'll get a bootloop
Just boot into recovery and flash zip
Also note that certain headphones might not get a boost if you find that your headphones or anything that you hook up thru the aux cable does not get boosted just let me know which mod you are using and I'll make the necessary adjustment so it works I would adjust all the boosters but for the majority of the headphones it works just fine and with the additional adjustment makes it just to loud. I think it's only non digital speakers or headphones that need the additional adjustment
Just start off at a low volume and work your way up till you feel comfortable with the volume
Also you if you combine vipers apk along with my mod for even better sound quality here's a link to his apk: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191223
ALL the links thru out this thread to the various combinations are now dead please refer here in the OP to get them Thanks Rob
*NOTE* if you are using Dorimanx's kernel these mods will not work as Dorimanx's kernel does not allow for any type of volume mod. Any other kernel is fine sorry it's out of my control
If you like my work please hit thanks
Downloaded. I rarely run headphones but I will give it a run. Thanks.

Is that increase and the system volumes?(bootanimation,lockscreen sound,etc)because i've made a mod myself to increase volumes but i can't handle these volumes and even if the other volumes are low ,the system volumes are all way up.

I had that one for a long time before I learned how-to mod the only thing is it's a battery drainer cause it's constantly running in the background and in my opinion it's didn't make that much of a difference a slight volume boost
I believe setting the values to 75 is very high especially for speakers, there will be a lot of distortion. By the way i saw the script i believe it raises only the headphones, speaker, Bluetooth, but not the earpiece.
I changed the values manually earlier on i just wanted to check if you did something different. Thanks any way.

I have it at 75 for the speakers because some people were asking me to make it higher I guess each ROM is different and you can always just turn the volume down a bit And at least on my phone it raised the ear piece volume it's loud enough now where I don't even have to put it on speaker phone I just turn up the volume and it's as loud as the speaker phone was before the mod but anyways I'm glad you like it and thanks for the input
New booster mod is up that decreases the speaker volume to 70 for those of you that did not like it so high
Tried to install this with rooted stock rom 4.4.2 and Twrp but it wont flash just gives a failed message. Tried with both the 70 and 75 files? Any ideas? What I really need is to get my ringer volume up.

Viper4android works on stylo

Root needed. And always rember to make a backup first.
Make your stylo louder and sound much better
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191223
Not my work so make sure to give thanks where neccisaray.
Download is near bottom of 1st post. If running marshmallow download selinux changer and set kernal to permissive. To solve the no effect problem.
Ive been using this on many devices best sound mod anywhere.
Also go into settings in viper and change ui setting to expert for many more mods.
And so its out there ms631 on h631 mm
There is also an audio fix that you can flash to make the phone louder.

Sure is. You can replace the mixer_paths.xml file for louder volume. Here's the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/increasing-stylos-volume-t3230127
Dont use other audio mods with viper. Once u learn the advanced ui viper increases volume better than most. Like raising the db level in clarity setting. And some of the gains. Only thing viper dont touch is the earpiece in call speaker. But loud speaker and bluetooth and headphone vols can all be increased from variuos settings
No need for any equalizers or any mods. Viper post says they can cause a no effect and other conflicting issues.
I'm using the Audio fix + dolby.
I just know the viper thread says not to and disable any mods if u have any issues.
I was just throwing it out i got it workin and what i did cause all the threads ive found on stylo no one can get it working

I mean from headphones
That is for headphones. That sound mod is included in the BatMan ROM and increases media playback volume system wide.
You will need to download a version of the mod that includes the dual speaker mod, but not the volume mods.
