Did anyone else notice that when the volume is anything other than full blast the volume seems very low?

I notice it on gingerbread ROMs but stock seems fine to me.
Have you tried turning on DTS mobile in the music player? After I enabled it I noticed a boost in volume across all applications but in general I do feel the volume is rather low. It seems perfectly loud during speakerphone calls but not so loud during some other activities. I kind of feel like it varies from program to program, some seem loud while others don't. For instance Youtube videos seem to have a veeery low volume while Angry Birds is loud as hell.
I just turned on dts today while listening to music. See how that goes.

DTS only works for the stock apps. There is an app. in the market called volume+ (Sound Boost) for .99, I think, or you can get it for free from his website. It tells you the link to his site in the about app. part. It only works on GB roms though.
I'm using it and can finally hear the music when using Last.fm etc.
The EQ part doesn't work very well on the GB leak though.
I was about to post a question relating to this. Im just coming from ATT Captivate, and always used AUX jack plugged into stereo in my truck. With my Cappy, I used PowerAmp music player paired with either Voodoo, or AudioBoost if the ROM for the day didnt have Voodoo.
I tried that Volume Boost today with the G2x. Not even close to what I expected. AudioBoost dev emailed me and told me that that app is only good for SGS family, so Im in desperate need of a booster for headphone jack. Ideas?

when using the phone its very low and speakerphone is so quiet you have to hold the phone right next to your ear
the bluetooth does the same thing
im using the gingerbread leak but changing roms to see if its phone related or rom related
I find the volume to be low when using bluetooth. Anyway to boost it?
I agree with the volume being really low. It is for some applications and others its fine, but overall its too low. Does anyone know of a volume mod we can do?
yeah it seems very low, what i did to fix this problem was use volume+ allows you to increase4 volume on speaker, headphones as well as bluetooth headsets now i only have to run the volume at 1/2 the volume to make it loud instead of all the way up and it still being low
in ORIGINAL 2.2 ROM, sound NOT LOW AT ALL !
if you flashed another 2.3.x rom , there sound driver not optimize yet...
Wait official update.
Yeah, I'm running stock all the way, and the speaker volume is where I have issues. I literally can't watch YouTube or really use it as a speakerphone as I have to hold it right to my ear to hear.
I got the wife a MT4G at the same time, and her speaker blows mine away.

I have yet to even root my G2X, 100% stock. Volume and sound quality just sucks on this device. The 1 speaker is not good at all from my experience. I've had several BB's that were way way better with quality and volume clarity.
If you do push the volume all the way up, it gets very distorted, no matter what quality media I'm using and especially with DTS enabled.
No deal breaker for me though.....I don't buy phones to use as a beatbox or watch movies I have a home theater for that purpose
I use this application called PowerAMP and it has a preset for your phone to play music through Speakerphone mode, and it is loud!. You can definitely hear the difference, even if I listen to music through a headset.

Hello,
I received a nexus5 few days ago but I just noticed that the camera application is very dark whereas the photo app works great.
I am on CM11 but i restored to 4.4.2 stock and it's still the same.
Please help!

On auto, I tried with a fixed value, it's still the same. It's seems to have like a grey veil.. Very weird.. :/
Screenshot examples on this thread : http://www.nexus5forum.com/nexus-5-...t-a-nexus-5-for-christmas/?prev_next=prev#new
do you have root or a custom recovery running?
That's known issue, and there is one quite lengthy thread on official Google groups (if you are talking about when shooting in low light, right?).
Google is aware of it. They even contacted few of use to recreate this issue and send a bug report to them, and that was like 2 months ago.
This happened after 4.4.1/4.4.2 update affecting all users (as far as I know).
Edit: Here's the link for that thread: https://productforums.google.com/forum/m/#!msg/nexus/fxsT5LxuXJU/wsUpKaxQ05EJ

Yeah I was confused. I thought he walking about pictures that are too dark then I read your link and it's about the video that's dark whereas the camera has the same lighting which is normal

Yeah, I was also a bit confused, but he is talking about camera and photo mode (app), so I guess he meant video mode .
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
I'm not sure if this is really a bug though. All phones I've used have darker videos than photos. Most likely because the camera isn't capable of longer exposures while taking video. I might be wrong though.
well, if you are running a custom recovery, heres a flashable 4.4.1 full camera/libs. video camera works perfectly for me, its not dark http://goo.gl/orWkC0
But the strange thing is that it was not like that before the update. Maybe they just decreased exposure gain to remove noise.
There is one more weird thing happening withing camera app that I came across trying to "fix" this underexposure issue.
I pointed camera to some dark area and then I was toggling between modes there (eg. From camera mode to PhotoSphere, and then to video mode). Exposure issue fixed itself (in video mode), but picture was unbelievably wide and stretched. And as soon as you start recording, it reverts back to original underexposed video mode. So I guess that is just some weird glitch.

I have CWM touch with CM11-M3 on my phone.
I will try the 4.4.1 app this evening, I keep you in touch.
Thank you for your help guys :]
Yea its a known bug with android 4.4.2 and also the static noise while recording video.
.
My nexus 7 2013 has also been effected with these bugs.....hope google fixes it soon.
I just flashed the the camera but nothing changed :/

So you are saying that it's normal for the nexus 5 to have an app camera less brighter than the photo app since 4.4.2? I received my phone a week ago so I didn't noticed it, it was already installed in 4.4.2

No, I am not saying that. Read my previous posts in this thread. It is known "bug". Google is aware of it (bug reports have been sent), and it is up to then to fix it or not.

Just wondering but since I got my N5 and GF got Moto X on Monday, I can really tell the difference in speaker quality between the two and I use my phone to play music quite a bit. Has anyone just replaced the speaker in the phone? Is it even possible to purchase the tiny phone speakers separately?

OK, so you point me to an old thread that has no real information besides a few people saying they haven't tried it. Thanks.:good:
Your best bet is a pair of external speakers IMO. Otherwise software mods can push the built-in a bit further.

I was afraid of that. After watching a few teardown videos, it doesn't look like just any other cell phone speaker would fit. Seems like a proprietary setup.

If your willing to root your phone then install Viper4Android. No need for any other change. Check out the dedicated N5 and Viper4Android thread in this forums themes and apps section. The difference will be stunning for speakers, earplugs and bluetooth.

I just got this phone last night and spent the morning rooting it to install viper4android and Im pretty disappointed at how low the volume is with this phone even with everything maxed. My $40 budget Samsung blew this thing out of the water volume wise.
Is there no way to mod any of the sound files to get more volume from the DAC? I notice there is no default_gain.conf like Samung phones and Mixer_paths.xml is blank. This is a great phone but the sound is an absolute bummer.

Pair V4A with Dolby Atmos. This is what I did and volume drastically increased.
Thanks for the heads up I'll check that out.

He already did.
After adding Atmos to the v4a I was able to get a small increase by turning on virtualizer and volume leveler. It's still not too my liking but it definitely is better which I am grateful for.
There is nothing you can edit manually as far as gain or headphone volume in any config/XML files on this thing? These audio apps are able to make a difference but it's nowhere near enough. On my phone the 2/3 volume to full volume really doesn't change at all only the slider changes position.
some dev could pls try to port stereo speakers mod which is available for mi 3 which makes earpiece has speaker
As many have heard or experienced, the stock Razer camera sucks. The Google Camera Port is awesome but does anyone know the optimal setting for the Razer phone? Those options are complex and I have no idea about really any of them.

I haven't tried that TBH. I just use the internal storage.
Here you go

That apk based off google camera 4.4 modified by B-S-G .
I had issues with recent 5.x update so do recomend just stick with 4.4
does it make any difference at all between the stock and this google camera?
it's the only thing keeping me from buying this awesome phone , that is the camera of course.

Hey guys, I installed the Pixel camera app and immediately I noticed an improvement. The Razer camera seems to have a lag to it when moving it to different objects to take a photo. The Google app eliminated that. It's very smooth. Also, I noticed using the Google apk the photos don't look as grainy.
I can't wait for Razer to make improvements to the camera. It has potential. I will continue to experiment with this Google apk.

Hey guys, here's that link to the video comparison if you want to see it.
Google pixel camera apk on Razer phone.
Proves Razer's camera has potential!
The video compares the camera of the Pixel 2 XL to the camera of the Razer.
The video does not show the Razer phone using two different apps.

My friend, watch it again. He specifically says it's the Razer phone using the Pixel 2 XL ported camera app.
I think I actually prefer razer cam, the colour have a better depth and overall contrast - still dreaming of root and camera2 api for RAW capability, this phone will be a dream when that day comes!

When the lumia 1520 came out it was so horrible I stopped using the camera. Took a few months but they fixed the app, camera is still amazing even with the new phones coming out.
This is one area they're focusing on, they remarked they wanted to at least get basic functionality down, which you have to give them props on, Jan-Nov and they get a concept to market, and it doesn't suck. lol
Coming from years of Sony phones I have to say this is quite the piece of kit. Thoroughly enjoying audio and video. The camera is quite bad but I can wait for a fix.
Cool, right off the bat I can take pictures of text on my monitor without it going fuzzy like the pre-update camera app. Anyone care to try post-update razer camera app to take a pic of a website on their monitor? Does it go fuzzy?
i need the pixel camera to save to external sd card - is there a modded apk which offers this option?
obviously the reason it doesnt have that option off the bat is because the pixel does not have a micro sd slot
