Hey guys... With all these New releases flying from our talented devs, I was hoping there were some apps or kernels or anything that could assist me with a few minor flaws with my rez. First, my rezound is alittle too quiet. Is there an app out there that can make it louder overall... Including ringtones and General media. Second, my wife has a droid 3 and gets great 3g reception in our home and mine is lucky to see one bar. Is there a way for me to improve my signal at all. Thanks in advance.

A bar of data? Huh? There are no bars that show data. That would be your signal for your phone, not the data. The only way you can tell what your phone is doing with data would be upload and download speeds.
And yeah, the DSP manager will make your phone tons louder.

I think you've been spending too much time at at least one bar. I don't see where he mentioned data at all.
I did actually mention one bar... But that's besides the point. I managed to find dsp manager in a previous post, but was unable to see any significant change in the phones volume. The only controls available for the phones speaker was bass boost and equalizer, which I set the trebs a bit higher on hoping that would make a difference, and it did, it was just very slight. I reckon I'll try a few volume enhancer apps and report back with my findings.

Yes, please do. And I hope my post didn't sound like I was being an ass. I apologize if it did. I had issues with my speakerphone being too quiet. Everything else was plenty loud. I tried a couple of apps from the market but nothing seemed to work at all. Hopefully you'll be able to find something that does work.
I tried a few and the only one that made a difference was volume+. It actually made my phone about 25 to 50 pct louder.

I have had volume + in my last four phones now and I find it very handy to lock the volume so doesn't change in my pocket. I do want to make it ring louder however and I can't quite figure out how to do that??
~John
OP, I honestly think your phone might be jacked. My Rezound is loud...almost too loud sometimes and that's with no enhancements. I also get excellent signal, though that's always subjective. Go to the Verizon store and if your phone doesn't at least match the display Rezound, make them replace it.

The 3D has been out a while and with the new update on the 3D I was hoping for a few other fixes that are very immportant to a lot of people including me but the fixes in this update didn't include the fixes I was hoping for so I am asking anyone on here, will there ever be something devoloped to correct the low speaker/ringer volume?
My speaker volume especially on listening to voicemail is really low and that is unaccepatble to me to listen to my voicemail and can't hear it especially while in a room with any background noise.
The ringer volume I have tried to tweak with a few Market apps, even though they aren't directed at a volume issue but a few were suggested that might help but not enough to make a big difference.
I can't understand why a app can't be devoloped to correct these issues. I remember when I had my Palm Treo and I bought a app for it called "VolumeCare" that worked so on increasing the volume for both the speaker and ringer volume and that was way back so why can't one be devoloped for the Android phones that are having these issues?
If anyone has any answers I appreciate any response....Thanks in advance!!
I believe you need root.
Wiid is good for you
Volume+ helped most,,, but if you root you'll prolly have dsp manager baked into a custom ROM which helps

Has anyone noticed any issues with speakerphone after flashing roms? When I make a call, it's horribly quiet. It'll play other media out of the back speaker like music and ringtones, just quiet on calls. Checked to make sure everything was turned up. Any thoughts?

I remember the was a tweak on the htc eris that allowed the speaker to almost double in volume. I'll have to research and post back. The only issue was some people would blow their speaker,hehe.be careful what you wish for.

As a bandaid fix you could try turning on the hearing aid option in accessibility settings. Doesn't get to the root of the problem of course.

I tried that, but it just won't boost the sound. I've used a bunch of different apps, looked for different mods, but nothing seems to work. The crazy thing is that all other sounds from that speaker are perfectly normal. Music is loud and clear, all notifications are loud, it's just that damned speakerphone. It's just annoying since I usually hate to hold my phone up to my ear when I talk.
Thanks for the help. Hopefully I'll find something or someone knows a good trick.

Using Ziggy's kernel. I'd go back to stock, but I like this kernel too much to go back. Guess I'll just deal with the lack of a good speakerphone.
Basically, stuff that wasn't advertised. So far I see:
1.) the hissing in the audio seems to be pretty much gone, which is awesome
2.) they added the battery meter thing into the "power" menu
3.) when synced to facebook, peoples birthdays are no longer a day earlier than they really are in the People app..they're the right date now!
------
to be tested:
1.) see if they got rid of the clicks/pops of the video camera (going to try to do a guitar video tomorrow to test) ****TESTED and they still have NOT fixed this. the audio is still god awful.
anyone else notice anything cool that wasn't advertised?
realllllllly? nobody noticed anything else? lol
Everyone else is rooted and still figuring out how to get the OTA! lol.
Seriously, if I'm not mistaken, those that are rooted and go right back to their nand, like I'm about to do, won't see the changes except the radios and hboot version.
EDIT: Restored my nand of Ineffabilis and I still see the 5 bars, I see the battery level indicator but not in the "power" menu, in the "About phone > battery" menu. I hope that means the calendar date thing is fixed too since I'm about to break down and sign up on Facebook.
lol nice nice..yeah, i'm not rooting it yet. the phone is working 100% how i want it to, and i don't feel like rooting and throwing roms on there..when i rooted the Inc, i went through a new rom like every week, and i can't keep doing that to myself lol

Ack! They still didn't fix that compression distortion in the audio track? Damn, thats like the only reason I rarely ever record video on this thing. I wish they would fix that. It makes it sound like s**t. The other day I tested the video after I bolted on a quiet muffler on my car. In the video, I can still hear that compression noise very loudly, even with a quiet exhaust sound. Dohhhhh come on htc.....
yeah im gonna keep hitting them up until something gets fixed lol... either way, I bit the bullet and rooted lol so hopefully the devs can work on it now

Has anyone had a problem with the music app? It's no big deal but sometimes it locks-up and won't open unless I turn the phone off and turn it on again.
Skype wants to use earpiece for audio now rather than speaker on video calls. Not sure how to change it, but, it also means I can do a video call with my Bluetooth headset which is kind of nice. I tried this before the update and it didn't work.

I learned about this app from DL and the Gnex. I got my speakerphone volume up to 10+. No distortion at this level and sounds much better.
The weird thing is the speakerphone sounds really weird in-call and low volume as well. Someone mentioned this could be an issue with the rom I'm using though
Just wondering if anyone else is having any luck with this.
If you think it's volume+ related, uninstall volume+ and test it out. If you think it's ROM related...try another ROM...
dsp manager is better than volume+ but the only solution to higher speaker volumes will be when the devs incorporate volume tweaks into the kernels. more likely when aosp comes.
I have been using volume+ as well and the bluetooth performance is excellent for phone and media in my car. It's awesome how you can literally change the speaker profiles and instantly hear the levl adjusting on the fly.... I do have a question about the In call setting that ask for root access; I'm not really sure what those 'steps' represent?

I've bought it in the past and am considering it for the ics ROMs. Now that we have BT streaming fixed, it seems to have knocked down the speakerphone volume. I'm hoping volume+ boosts that a bit.

Yeah I notice this too. The speaker phone volume was low to begin with but I installed an ICS rom the first day I got the phone so I really don't have much to compare the issues I'm experiencing.
All I can say is the volume of someone calling is about the same volume their voice comes out of my speaker when I turn speaker phone on which is ridiculous.
Than I go to play my music and the phone is loud as hell. I can even take this thing in the bathroom with me while I shower and hear the volume pretty good over the water so the fact that it's not working with calls seems odd...
Has anyone tried going over 10+ on speaker? It says "loudest for most phones" next to that number but than there are options to bring it all the way up to 20. I'm too nervous to go past 10. Don't want to blow my speaker out.
Where is dsp manager? I cant find it in the market. Is it an app from someone on xda? I found Volume+ but I didnt want to mess with that based on the responses here.

i'm gonna post something on their forums when i get home from work. i'm also going to try an older build of volume+ and see if that works.
I was just wondering if there is any way to forcibly increase the max volume limit on ICS? I've seen some apps in the market that claim to, but wanted to ask here first. I can't hear the phone ring if I'm in just a moderately loud environment, and my last phones (iPhone 4, Galaxy S and OG Droid) were all PLENTY loud.
Let me know, thanks!

so like, the steps go by 5 or so

I actually found one that works well. Its called volume+, and its $2 on the market or free on his forum. For the rezound, because it has beats, it needs a special audio-settings.conference file, which he also has posted on his forum with instructions to add it. I turned the audio settings all the way up and it makes a considerable difference, without too much distortion. Give it a try
Just a suggestion...i make my own ring tones from mp3s in audacity and just pump up the gain. Right now it's the guitar riff from Mr jack by system of a down and it makes people around me jump even in a busy loud store when it rings, hell I could hear it at the last football game I was at.

probably just set "phone speaker" to have a higher output in the EQ..or just raise the EQ so they're all even, but like 5 steps up or so
With DSP Manager, the only thing that really makes it loud is headset virtual room. But of course its only available for headphone setting. Eq dont do squat in headphone setting...no effect... But EQ works ok on speaker. Just dont go all that loud even with the EQ enabled, but no volume boost for main speaker. Need louder volume on the Rezound....period regardless what ROM you using. Im on GB still

I purchased this app a year or so ago but don't bother installing it anymore. I immediately found it didn't play well with DSP manager, both start FCing constantly if they are installed together.

It's listed on the releases page I believe, and it's it's own separate thread, called [MOD] htc device fix or something along those lines. And you have to install that audio_settings.conf file he provides if you're on a Rezound for it to make a difference. I installed it and have the volume set to +15 and it makes it unbelievably better. Much, much louder, and I set the eq to Beats like and there's very little distortion at full volume, and notifications/ringtones are much, much louder.

when you first open volume+ it says to go to settings and enable volume+, but there is no option when I go to settings, under sound.
Does yours have that option?
