I use the same headphones on my windows laptop and iPhone and max volume is basically ridiculously loud, on my Huawei T3 tablet if i watch a movie on max volume the characters basically whisper, wtf?
And I'm using the exact same material/streaming sites, something is off about the tablet itself.

Are you sure you're turning the volume up all the way on the tablet? You probably are, I'm just making sure you aren't missing the fact that on android devices, when you turn the volume up it stops before reaching full volume then gives a warning saying that listening at high volume can damage your hearing, if you cancel that warning you can turn the volume up a little more.
Try a different set of headphones. Try a different android device(not the iPhone)

I have turned it up to 100%, and cancelled the warning, still super low.
I have just tried my headphones on my brother's LG G5, works fine
This is my very first android device so I guessed there's some secret setting or something :\

You can try some volume boosting apps, there are many of them at the PlayStore but they don't work that well.
The best option is to root the device and edit some sound files similar to this solution in the thread linked below (WARNING, do not assume that you can do what they did, I'm just giving an example of the kinds of modifications you can make on android devices, the files and edits for you might be different on your device than what is in this thread)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2531673
Another option is to modify your sound file using a text editor to increase the volume output of the various individual outputs on your device (i.e.- in call volume for earpiece, in call volume for speaker, in call volume for headphones, in call volume for bluetooth headset and the individual volumes for speaker, headphones and headset when playing audio/video media)
Such as these examples(again, the file and the edits you need to make may be different)

Or
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1931970
Or use some kind of sound mod such as Viper4Android(how it is installed is different for different devices, some are simple, some require some other things to be done to get it installed and working correctly)

Hey,
I have had a HTC Touch sins 5th of December and i have found a problem I'm not sure if anyone is aware but its quite annoying. The sound through headphones and even to the extent of through the speakers is very quite and I'm not sure what i can do to improve that. Is there some kind of update or something. I could understand the phone speaker being quite and i don't partiuclly mind that but when trying to use it to listen to music or watch a film i find i can't even make out what there saying.
I don't have bad hearing so it can't be that.
Thanks for any help you can provide in advance
Did you make sure that your device volume is turned up all the way? Also make sure that your media player volume is turned up all the way.
It may also be that the media files you are playing have very low volume. Compare this by playing these files on your computer - do you have to turn your computer speakers up high just to hear? this would confirm low sound right in media file.
Do you have wow or srswow or whatever it is called installed. I have heard others having problems with this installed on their devices. this could be the problem. Uninstaling did not work in their case and they had to perform a hard reset (possibly because it had changed registry settings) I don't know if there is any other explanation or solution to your problem. The only time I have ever experienced low sound volume was when my volume settings were set low and I forgot to turn them back up.
to my knowledge there's no way of increasing hardware volume..
you can amplify the media using Goldwave or something.. and check that the volume meter is up all the way both in your media player and on your device.
I am almost positive this question has been asked before, but alas...
For reasons unknown, my Nexus S seems to have inconsistent volume levels.
1. Regardless of how loud the volume is set to, the "operation" sound effects are ALWAYS at bare-audible levels. For example, when the screen is turned off it's almost impossible to hear the noise. This holds true even when the system volume is at maximum.
2. In call volume is always low, and yet the speakerphone volume is always SUPER loud.
The posts I've read before always seem to mention it being a problem with the Nexus S phone itself, but how is that possible? If the sound comes out then the sound comes out. It would seem to me like a problem with Gingerbread.
i use this to keep my volumes set properly
http://www.appbrain.com/app/audiomanager-widget/com.smartandroidapps.audiowidget
WOW thanks for that link. It solved the problem immediately. I'm not exactly sure what the issue is with the actual Gingerbread software though...why don't the volume levels adjust properly?
Also, I saw your post in another topic and found your signature (image) to be quite fascinating. I too have used many of those phones actually.
On a side note, can you (or anyone) explain why my topic was moved from the Nexus S board?
yeah i recently learned about audio widget, and it seems to be able to seperate out different system level audio vs call audio etc. not sure why this isnt available in stock android, but this app is able to do it. so its a must have.
I've got a problem with my Omnia 7. Inexplicably, plugging in headphones causes the speaker volume to be boosted substantially after the headphones are unplugged, with no change in the actual software volume level. I'm not sure whether this is a software problem or what (it certainly wasn't fixed in Mango, at least). Rebooting the phone is the only way I've been able to fix it (ie, reduce the volume to what it was originally).
I've heard of people complaining about the loudness and lack of volume variation in the Omnia, but I'm not sure if this is linked to that somehow.
If someone can test this out it would be great, if only so I can get my phone replaced if it's specific to my device. Just reboot your phone, and observe the loudness of the lock/unlock sounds before and after headphones are inserted and removed. It doesn't need to be tested on the Omnia 7 specifically, though - if it's a software issue it's likely to be present on other devices as well.
TLDR; all speaker sounds, whether that be from music, games, system sounds, etc, are louder after I use earphones, even if the volume number is the same. Rebooting it fixes it. If anyone with any device could test this it would be a great help.
Does no one else have this issue? I would appreciate it if one of the many Samsung Omnia 7 owners could test it, at least.
I just tested it and I dont see any change or boost in volume on my SO7.. does your music auto stop playing when you pull out your headphones?
Maybe I explained it incorrectly, here's a video of it:
youtube.com/watch?v=0g-y0r3Mdqk&feature=youtube_gdata
I sounds louder in reality, but hopefully you can see the increase. Thanks for testing it, though
But yes, the music does stop playing when I remove the earphones. The increase isn't limited to music - it affects all sounds.
I tested it again after seeing your video.. mine remains the same, no increase like in your device..
Infact after watching your video I think the first sound is miffed... after you plug in the earphone and out than the sound it makes is the original sound/volume..
.............................or to put it another way somewhat DEAF!
I am quite able, with my hearing aids in, to hear the sound/speech produced by videos and so on.
My problem is with making & receiving calls, when the volume of voice sound is not enough to hear callers properly.
I know that one can increase volume during a call by using the phone's rocker volume switch, but this is not enough.
I've tried various apps which claim to increase volume, but find that while they can set volumes high in general, none of them seems to set the in-call volume higher than the phone will allow as standard.
Is there a simple solution to this, for me with a moderate level of technicality?
My phone is a Vodafone Smart Ultra 6, running stock Android 5.1
Thank you in advance.
Hi !
Is it possible to link the Bluetooth volume on the HTC U11 ? I'm not sure that's the proper name of this feature but I mean to have the name volume level on the Bluetooth speaker (in my case headphone) and the phone. If I change the volume with the headphone's buttons, it change on the phone.
Thanks for your help
I understand what you mean but the phone can only control its own volume. It would be down to the speaker developer to integrate it, most likely it would be via a specific app.
You can always leave the speaker at it's highest or at the highest you would want it to be and just adjust the volume of the Bluetooth at your end (on the phone).

I know it is possible : Samsung propose it with Samsung experience.
I can do it with my iPad too, with the same headphones.
It is called "Media Volume sync"
https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyS8/comments/66l8id/you_can_finally_control_the_media_volume_from_a/
I read that it was a feature in Android stock since 6.0 so I'm surprised not to find it with Oreo on the HTC which is almost stock:

Thanks again
Um don't we have that already? Separate volume for speaker and Media audio.

Yeah but what I would like is to not have a volume level on my speaker and one on my phone. If I change the volume with my headphone's button, it changes what you show here (the volume with the Bluetooth icon). A unified for phone and speaker, like iOS does.
thanks
