Hi everyone,
I got myself a Galaxy Ace about a week ago and I'm happy with phone except for the ringtone and notification volume. It is just too soft. The mp3 files that I use sounds fine when played through the music player but when set as ringtone or notification sound it is too soft.
What can I do to increase the volume of the ringtones and notification sound. Any help in the matter is much appreciated.
Thanks.
Well on 2.2.1 with the samservmode app from the market it was easy but doesn´t work on 2.2.4 i made all to 9db but nothing is louder.
Would really know how to make the ace louder i think i am not the only one that feels so that the ace is really not loud.
Volume+(sound boost) app really works well to boost sound. It works only on gingerbread.
Ok I tried the samservmode app on my galaxy ace but no luck in changing the sound volume. There is an entry labeled "AUDIO" but nothing happens when I touch it. There rest of the entries in the menu works fine.
I couldn't find any app named volume+ in the market.
My phone's firmware is DXKC1 with Android version Froyo 2.2.1
Thanks.

Okay youre on 2.2.1 that is easy i help you, you got samservmode listen carefully.
Go to audio then, max8899 amp then, make following headset stereo pre amp gain 9db exit then speaker pre amp gain 9db exit then mp3 speaker pre amp gain 9db exit.
That boost 9db all music!!
20db is too much but you can try it but i find it too much.

My problem is that I can't access the audio menu at all. It just does not respond as if there is no sub menu beyond the main menu. The rest of the items in the main menu works ok.
Do I need to rooted to use this app?
It's because you can only make those changes when you're running Gingerbread.
Tap-a-talked from my Galaxy Ace
Ok, I flashed Gingerbread XXKPH Android version 2.3.4 and I could make those changes now. The sound adjustments work great but they revert back to the default settings after a reboot. Is that normal?

Yes that is normal after reboot you must set them new, but you see easy way to make +9db and it is really enough because 20db hurts in the ears.

Hi, which version of Louder Volume Hack works on Xperia X10 and if there is, How can I apply the codes into my phone .
thanks in advance
It doesn't. You have to install a custom kernel with that particular fix. Loud volume hack wont work on our phones and if u look at the description where you download it it says does not support Sony Ericsson phones. U could try dsp manager though

I have been looking for something to address the same issue. Which froyo or gingerbread roms that are fully working address the volume issue? Also, what is DSP manager, where can I get it, and how does it address the volume problem? Thanks!

dsp manager is a global equalizer for your phone.. its awesome.. made my x10 10x louder.. and in the case of headphones, i actually prefer listening music via x10 rather than my ipod after applying dsp manager.. lol..
you can download the apk from here
if the apk dosent work then try flashing the attached zip file via xrecovery..!!
but make sure you are on a froyo or a gingerbread rom cause it works only on 2.2 and above..

Sound promising, what do I have to do to activate louder sound?
is there any special way or codes to have the DSP Manager work on my X10 , or what's the tutorial for the installation
thanks

Start DSP manager and choose for example "phone speaker". Tick "Enabled" and raise the equalizers up. I think if you raise up the last 3 bars it will be just fine.
You can do the same for "Headset" and the "Bluetooth device".

Dsp is the best but I have a question, on a gingerbread rom, thinkin its rendeiro or rdannar's one but not trip, Ive found DSP manager with the bass boost option, since Ive turn it back my phone to froyo, using wolf's rom, DSP manager doesn't have the bass button, wondering if there is different versions of DSP Manager.
Btw im using wolf rom on bb55, stock kernel, x10a, 2.1.0.435 I think

Trying to search for other DSP versions, but couldn't find any other than v.1.0.
The best settings I found for volume/clarity with DSP Manager for the phone speaker is to set values (left to right) at 4.0, 4.5, 5.5, 6.0, 5.5 These setting boost the whole range but keep distortion down on the high and low.
Sent From My *Super Fly X10*
If I (or anyone for that matter!) help you, dont be afraid to press THANKS!
I never set the first higher than two cost the bass distorts too much. The rest I set at 6 tho and it sounds fine. Maybe twice as loud as previously. At least I can hear my phone from my back pocket now lol
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Same with me. I played some music on the player, same time i went to DSP and play with the bars. Last 3 up and the first two at about 2 was the best setting and sound clariry.
The settings of the "headset" is other thing though. The bass there is raised more.
I am using my rooted XS with Marshall Minors and found the volume to be low unless I increase via EQ which then distorts the sound. Is there any hack to increase the volume like Alsamixer? or any app that will unleash the power of audio volume?
Thanks
you tried xLoud on settings? this phone is really loud for me..

I did, the main issue is I use audiobook player which is quiter and with max volume is still not great. I need to use this for my studies. The xloud has no effect on this. Previously with Galaxy Nexus I used alsamixer which was great in unlocking the volume but it doesn't work on XS.
i dont know but i used to use the audioboost it was work before with x10 but i find xperia s to work really loud i have half way income-call volume and it work perfectly fine for me !!!
seems to me that i got my ears too sensitive !
It may not be ideal but you could just batch reincode your audiobooks at 150% Volume(Gain).

Thanks mate. They are actually mp3 files do you recommend easy to use free app?
I tried few but they do not do straightforward volume gain.

Audacity will do it. You need to get LAME separate for MP3s(Legal thing). To do a single file open the mp3, slide the -...+ slider on the left of the track to the right, then export the MP3 to a new file. Done.
Not sure about batch processing with it, I've only ever done such things with images, but google is your friend on that one.
Was listening to spotify on my brand new S3 and i though the volume was a bit low and the sound was not always 100% clean. I previously had the iphone 4 and the sound of that one is punching compared... Is there something wrong with my S3 or do i need to do something?

Try to see if the equalizer of the GS3 is set to normal or else change it back to normal.
Also, if you want, there are plenty of kernels that offers improvements to sound and boost of volume.
See more of "Siyah kernel" "Francesco Kernel" and "N.E.A.K".
You need to root to flash the kernel.
i haven't had/heard any audio problem in mine S3 compared to the pc sound with headset. (Mac).

Is there an EQ that i can use with the spotify app? I've tried to set the build in music player EQ, but that didnt have any effect on spotify...
When.i.plug a.audio.jack.the audio level is reduce.
Do you know how.to.incresase the parameters without install a.new.rom, kernel, and without a S3 rooted ?

Only with the look? Very easy question!!!
here's the solution
1. do you have a i9300 or i9100?
2. this is not where questions go, hit "report" and ask for it to be moved.
It is a safe function. It is for not damage your ears. If you listen the audio with the original earphones or a similiar earphones, there isn't be a problem, if you use a bigger earphones. You could listen the audio more low because, those bigger earphones needs more power. I don't know if I explain me.
Boeffla sound tweaks .

I have a i9100 rooted. And i use voodoo.louder apk.
For the.i9300 (used for my job) it's cant be rooted and i'm looking for how i can change the setup of the phone.
I know that make a protection. but i want to change it.
I'm going to ask for change this post sections.
Thanks
Try this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.TEST.android.lvh&hl=en
There are some options for rooted users but the app does not need root to work.
Works on speaker, headset and bluetooth. It gives you an option of a simple EQ or a
very easy volume boost and allows you to set how much amplification you want.
I am using it right now in my I9300 with custom rom so it should work for you. It is not
however compatible with most other sound mods such as Acid which you should not have
anyway since you are not rooted.
You could try this. Lets you specify media volume when something is inserted into the jack

Thanks galactus it is ok.
I solved myproblem.
Now that we have root for our Z3v's... I've been playing around with trying to find/edit the files that control our phones speaker volumes (both in call earpiece volume and speaker phone volume). I don't necessarily need to increase the speaker volume for playing music because most of the time I'm using bluetooth, but I'm sure a lot of people would be interested in that as well.
I'd like to be able to just modify the phones system files rather than use some sort of booster app.
From what I'm been able to find, the file located in /system/etc/ called mixer_paths.xml is what our device uses to control volume parameters. I've seen where other devices have had these types of files modified in order to boost max volumes.
Is this something we can do with our phones? The in call volume, both earpiece and speaker phone are just TOOOO quite for me.
This is about as far as I can comfortably go as I'm not a developer/programmer.
Anyone out there comfortable helping out with this idea? Is it possible.

I also would like to know how to increase the volumes
I think it's almost comical how low the audio levels out of the headphone jack are. I don't know if this can be fixed or what but even playing at full volume it seems too low.

I've been using the Sound Mod from Z3 Development version 3.3 with Dolby Digital Plus (I think it has beast audio) & the volume on the headphones is so loud at the second click up. They even have a way to go back to stock.

Sorry to dredge up an old thread.... You say you're using the sound mod. Did you flash that in recovery?
Checking this out first, just got root today and don't want a shiny new paperweight anytime soon

I did flash the sound mod through recovery but it only boosted speaker volumes, not in call volumes. I used the one without Dolby.

Wow so we can flash .zip files in recovery now? Again just making sure, just rooted and there isn't a ton of info out there for our device atm. Thanks in advance
I flashed it in the dual recovery as well. Just make a backup first because the zip they have to take it back to stock isn't for our phone. In other words if you ever want to go back you should wipe & reload the backup. And make sure you don't install the lollipop version.
