I had the Epic Touch 4G for about a week until I had to return it (Sprint really sucks in my area). Anyways, as with most Sprint phones, the earpiece volume is pretty damn loud. Since getting my SII on AT&T, I notice a huge difference, and I was wondering if there were any hacks to make it louder. My phone is rooted, and I'm not opposed to getting a custom ROM if need be.
Thanks

Oh this is the perfect thread to find out something that is been bothering me.
IF you still on the ATT stock rom. what kind of head phones are you using? 16ohm, 24ohm, 32ohm, 64+ohm?
Because in the CM7.1 forum, we are having some issues where the 16ohms headphones are playing SUPER loud.
SO... if you happened to have some cheapy 16ohm headphones and you are not getting super loud volume please let us know in the CM7.1 nightly forum?
Thanks
PS: *I* believe that the stock rom has auto-impedance, but CM7.1 doesn't which causes 16ohm headphones to play super loud while 32-64ohms headphones play @ "normal" volume. But this is just a theory...

Are you actually able to get it to work got the GS II? I downloaded it but it never asks for root and doesn't make anything louder, no matter what settings I use.

I tried Volume+, but I don't think its what I was looking for. I am not having a volume issue with the main speaker, but rather the earpiece speaker you use during a regular call. I was able to get a louder audio playback via the normal speaker (listening to music) but saw no improvement during a call.

I'd love to have a viable solution to increase headset volume as well. I'm using a wired headset if it matters and I'm on gtg's UnNamed Rom. I tried volume+ and noticed it said it doesn't work on stock roms and I know we're running a slightly modified version of it so...
But yeah, didn't notice any volume difference in headset or speaker.
Its a known issue with Samsung phones,Galaxy s1 phones had the same problem!
What I don't understand is how the Sprint version of the phone was so drastically louder than the AT&T version. Its like the hardware is capable, but they are holding it back.

I have stock rom with root. Idk if its just my phone or what - I'll have to test my friends phone now, lol. And yes, I do need the volume quite high as I am rarely in quiet environments
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA App
My volume is also low on my phone. Headphone volume is loud. I believe the perception Rom has loud call volume.
For my first few calls, the volume seemed to be too low. Then I noticed that if I hold the phone lower, it is much louder. I guess the earpiece is so high up on the phone that holding the phone in a natural position doesn't put the earpiece in the right place in my ear.
volume boost gets my vote.
I've been searching for a volume hack for two weeks. Im rooted and on unNamed ROM. The volume has been much lower than id like on both stock and custom Rom . I've tried volume+ but doesn't do the trick.
Can someone PLEASE provide a solution for this. ie. modify file in root explorer, or some other hack.
there is audio boost sgs2... but it will probably drain battery as it polls on the volume to constantly make it "louder". its a cheat hack.
I also think the incall volume is really low as well, would love if one of you devs could come up with something.. Donate donate donate!

Can anyone with 2.1 check for me to see if the sound on the xperia is louder now please. I know Sony said they're knew about the problem and were going to make it better, I just want to know if they did.

Yes, much better. However, I've noticed that there is some noise for the person on the other side of the call
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
I seriously think the volume issue is hardware related, I have never had a problem with mine on 1.6, but the 2.1 update cranked it up, I keep my volume at 50% as full volume would make me go deaf. I was talking on my phone under the L tracks with a train going by in Chicago today, no place is louder, I heard the person fine.
How do u guys hold your phones to your ears?

Umm.. Its not any louder for me, but that annoying static is gone.

I find it a little bit louder,not much...Works fine for me
There is no noticeable difference since the update it is still one of the worst phones to make and receive calls on I have ever owned, I also own a galaxy s which is way better to use to make calls on ie crystal clear and very loud.

Volume+ is the correct app. Volume Control+ is a different app that provides a widget and interface for adjusting volume, but provides no tweaks for increasing volume.

on that page the creator says you can get the paid version for free from his website. I went there n got it. about to test it out now.
edit: after getting annoyed trying to compare by ear by going back n forth cutting it on or off, I wanted to make sure it wasn't a placebo effect. well decided to get free decibel meter from marketplace and put it on my Atrix to get some real readings to see if this really works. its official, it does work..lol. it showed consistent higher decibel readings with speaker mod cut on. I have my settings at good quality. volume +5 and bass +2. it sounds great. I thought it sounded loud before but with this its super loud n clear also. with bass increased +2 I can hear n kinda feel(in my hand..lol) it more. don't forget you can just go to the guys website n download the app paid version for free. thanks for the tip. afraid to mess with settings anymore as i don't wanna blow the speaker..lmao. still a test in progress though. if I hearanything funny, I will immediately shut it off..lol
For me i get the best sound (imo) using these settings on my prime.
Volume setting +6
bass enhance setting at max.

The headset (earset that comes with the phone has all controls. But I think it sucks royally as the earbuds are horrible, even for my somewhat larger than average ears. I'm kinda looking for alternative myself.
I took Apple ear buds and fitted ear plugs on them. They works great you can't hear a thing with them in....only the music.... Oh yea

I know on my old incredible, the buttons don't work completely. Only some functions, I think that goes to say with all androids. There are apps that you can assign a different amount of presses to be pause,play,next though.
I know bestbuy has a pair of sony earbuds that are life $25, that have the "ipod" controls. They did work somewhat on my incredible, and there are a pair of skullcandy's that have the controls also. I assume they would work the same.

I order these, they are the ones that came with my old vibrant, since I lose my earbuds at least once every two months I would never spend a lot on them. I'm happy with the quality, I doubt it is as bad as some people describe the stock headphones for the amaze-- but my theory is if they are using a rom with beats audio the headphones may not be capable of creating that kind of sound at higher volumes.
To the best of my knowledge no android(I've seen at least) has working volume control, tho I'll bet a few might.. I haven't tried any with volume control on my amaze.
I use poweramp music player, I press 1 time to pause/play, two times to skip, and then you can decide what you want three presses to do- I have it switch playlists. If someone calls I press once to answer, once to hang up, and if I was listening to music it comes back on.
I've never been totally sure, but I think the beats audio libs only work on the stock music app, so that might be why I don't have any complaints about audio quality(because I use poweramp)..
Anyways, thought I'd share in case it was helpful.
Does anyone think that the sound volume is too low? Ringing, speaker phone, etc. I feel like everything is lower than previous phones.

This is because of the increasing ring volume.....
You haven't said, but I assume you meant max volume right, as opposed to the above?
If you don't, there will sure enough me a hack ported from SGS2 to SGS3 to disable the increasing ring. Of course root well be required.

I actually think the phone is far too loud... and i dont like how the sound adjustment is in steps and not vairable. even on its LOWEST setting (before its completely off) if it goes off in a classroom or office enviroment everyone around me can hear it.. (the whole class)
I am running paranoid androidrom which I like. But the call volume on my end is really low. I have used alsa mixer and changed things. Fan someone tell me what to do. Or how to use alsa mixer

I havn't tried Volume+ on my note yet, but works great on my Asus Transformer Infinity which runs ICS. The notes say it doesn't work on anything but GB but it does. JB it does not work though. There is a free version that boosts you up a small amount like +8db and paid lets you go higher. Just don't go too high or you risk damaging speaker when other louder sounds come out. You can boost overall volume then turn other volumes down via the sliders.

I forgot to say that I've tried that too. But quote " The In-Call settings are different; they don’t allow you to boost the In-Call volume but instead give you much more control over the volume" says I can't change the volume at all. I thought this setting said that I can just control the number of times I can get to raise my volume level. Plus. For some reason it doesn't show in call settings. U have to go to the advanced tab for root? I applied this to 7 yesterday and it didn't do a thing for me

Same here and it's the only thing that this rom (ICS version) is lacking.
The reason I asked earliee about the baseband is that on a former phone some modems had better call volume than others.
Who wants to be a guinnea pig and flash the other modems? There are two to try.
