I got the Optimus V at the recent Cyber Monday deal at Virgin Mobile - for one major purpose - to use it as an mp3 player for my car. I have not activated the phone, do not plan to, have wifi on it only.
The built-in speaker on it is pretty loud, so I am surprised that the headphone volume is very low. I have to turn my car volume all the way up to max to hear anything (driving highway).
I wonder if LG turned the volume low to prevent people from killing their ear-drums. Is there any solution out there without having to activate the phone and install alternate rom on it? I have turned the volume in settings all the way high, and I have Pandora, and I have set the audio setting to high on Pandora preferences.
Pls. let me know if my objective cannot be achieved without rooting and installing a custom ROM, I would prefer not to activate this phone.
Thanks for any help.
Shameless bump...I have Volume Control+ which does not help at all.
you hear low sound in headphone ?
what are you connecting it to?
Yes, I have a low volume on the headphone too. I connect it to the aux port on the car radio using a regular Stereo Jack. My Car radio is a Pioneer system, which has great sound with other mp3 players.

Man....I swear this thing seemed louder when I first got it. Anyone else having issues with sound not being loud enough when listening to media files? All volume controls are at max.
I have seen the reviews online also which mention the same issue, is this a froyo thing or a Dell issue, hope they solve it with an update. I am using volume booster from the market which gives me a little more dBs, but compared to my iphone & blackberry, the volume level still sucks
look's like Dell issue

I also find that if I have the headphone jack plugged into the aux in my car, and I answer a call on bluetooth, when I come back to my music, the volume is even worse. I have to switch off blue tooth, then play my aux audio, and then re-enable bluetooth in order for the audio level to come back up to a listenable level. weird.........
Is there a volume control option for rooted devices that may fix this?
I don't know if whoever wrote the bluetooth stack for Android has Super Hearing or what.... With wired headphones, I have to turn down the volume or I'll blow out my hearing... But with Bluetooth, it's like a fscking whisper.
I have tried the voodoo sound, but apparently it only boosts wired headphones - absolutely not what I need! I listen to music over my stereo Bluetooth headset, or at least I try to. I usually give up in frustration.
Is there any hack/mod for the Vibrant that will allow an increase in BLUETOOTH volume?
Thanks!
Total opposite for me. My wired headphones sound terrible and tinny with no bass at all. Bluetooth on the other hand sounds fantastic. What type of Bluetooth headphones are you using?

Plantronics Voyager 855.
bump. I have a helmet with stereo bluetooth built in, I use it to listen to music and/or gps while riding the motorcycle. And I can't hear a thing once I get moving on the bike. On CM7 and Miui they have DSP manager and on my G1 there was the louder volume hack app.. but i can't find anything for 2.2 roms for the vibrant. I'd really like the ability. I tried adjusting the numbers under bluetooth in the volume section with the secret codes but had no success.
hi there, i have the same issue... i bought a motorola s10-hd and they sound good but very quiet...
On Bluetooth: I turn phone volume all the up then control volume via Bluetooth.
On Wire: REMIND MYSELF to turn down phone volume before wearing earphone. Sometimes I forget and OUCH my ears!!!
Anyone have a better method, please share.

Volume boost?
I have a Samsung Captivate that runs on Firefly 3.0 froyo rom. The problem is that the audio of music and most importantly videos are not loud enough. Voodoo control plus does a great job of increasing the volume for wired headset. But I use bluetooth headset to listen to music and watch movies. I can hardly hear the audio in noisy environments.
Can someone suggest some app or fix or mod to increase volume in bluetooth headset?
I came to know that volume+ app for gingerbread does this job. Any similar app for froyo? or Voodoo control plus can actually help with BT headset volume boost?
I paired up my Note with my new Belkin A2Dp Car kit and found that I am not able to control the bluetooth volume for the phone/voice profile.
Voice input sounds distorted as does any voice going out to the speakers. In calls the person I am calling sounds distorted and they say I do also. Obviously voice commands are useless as the phoe cannot identify what I am saying properly due to the distortion.
It's as if the mic-boost is blasted all the way up for the voice call bluetooth profile, is this the same issue of Samsung's crap BT stack that they never seem to fix?
I tried using an App called A2DP volume to force volume settings on connect but they have no effect on the BT in call volume, even the volume rocker on the phone does nothing during a call.
I dont see any volume or mic controls on my bluetooth device as it is a car-kit.
The music audio quality over A2DP is excellent and not distorted at all.

Anyone? Surely other people are using BT headsets and car kits with their note?

Yep the A2DP profile is clear and sounds great, as I said in my post, but the phone call profile is distorted and blown out, adjusting the volume on the phone seems to have no effect on this profile.
To clarify...no issues on mine. .phone calls included

I had a similar problem with a Kenwood player once. I had to update the player from the Kenwood site to fix it.
I think it's a bit outdated, but did you manage to fix it?
I have this belkin device and the same volume call issue (can't use it for calling). Tried with the phones in my signature and with an iphone 4s and get this issue with both. Only with an iphone 3g I could control volume successfully. Maybe it's only compatible with apple devices. iphone 4 doesn't work because ios5 disabled bluetooth call volume control.
It's too disappointing..
Bluetooth Distortion
Hi there. I upgraded my SGS i9000 to Jellybean JRO03L recently - latest build is excellent. However, Bluetooth call quality is distorted as per Griffindodd but ADP2, although relative quiet is very good.
Can't figure out what options I have.
Have the same issue in terms of controlling car music volume on the dashboard, but haven't noticed call quality, just got the a2dp application and will let everyone know how it works
Update: didn't work, still can't adjust volume via dash

still nobody has any solution for this?
Sent from the Jelly Way Galaxy
figured out a work around for myself, so I found that when playing through Apollo I could control the volume on dash but not while playing Pandora and others, so what ended up working is loading both, pausing Pandora, playing Apollo to get volume control, then holding down the back button to kill Apollo(make sure this is enabled in developer options in phone settings), then Pandora should start playing again all by itself and still have volume control.

Hi all,
I am having problem with Navigon/CoPilot GPS software where the voice volume is very soft. Especially if I am using the phone to play the music as well. It seems like both of this GPS uses the System volume which I've maxed out but it just seems too soft when compare to the media volume.
Sygic seems to work fine as it uses the media volume instead of the System volume. Just that I seems to prefer the routing provided by Navigon.
I've tried using Siyah kernel but it seems even worst due to the fact that Siyah allows you the amplify the media sound which makes the voice from the GPS almost inaudible. Is there anyone else that uses either Navigon or CoPilot that knows anyway or workaround to fix this?
One way I know is to lower the media volume and just turn up the car radio when using Aux input so that both the system volume and media volume are the same but the issue is that sometimes I forget about that and just turn back on to radio without lowering down the volume. Trust me, the sudden increase in volume is not really good for the heart and not to mention the ear.
Hope someone is able to provide me with a better workaround!
Thanks!

I use Siyah here and STweaks to amplify the Speaker volume.
The default value is 57, try to use 59 or 60 it can get pretty damn loud.

Hi,
Thanks for that. But I am using it plugin to my car radio (aux in). This is so that I can listen to the music on my phone at the same time while the GPS is running. WIth the speaker volume, does that works if the output is not on the phone speaker itself?

Speaker volume = Phone's speaker..
In your case, you need to increase the headset volume, also available in STweaks with the same values (57 default).
