[Q] Ringer is still too low - HTC EVO 3D

Hey all,
Just recently acquired an evo3d from another member here on xda. The ringer and alarm levels are quite low for my tastes. I have gone through the whole QPST change for sound. Didn't notice much of a difference. Started using volume+ and set my speaker volume to 10. Still...better but no where near as loud as my 4G was. Anyone feel its safe to go louder? Should I go back to QPST and reset the sound settings to default before I take it too high?
Thanks in advance.

I just got a new one and yes the volume is insanely low for everything.
What is this qpst and volume+ you speak of please share any links please. I'm on my phone and in atlantic city kind of drunk so my searching is a little off as is my equilibrium lol.
Thanks for any help and links

Volume+ is an app in the market for $1.62. Let me grab the link for the qpst.
Edit: here's link to qpst edit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1147436
Qpst did literally nothing. Volume+ paid version helped some.

I don't have a link to it. But try looking for the Sony Xloud mod. It raised my volume on my phone.

QPST mods all my levels successfully.

My phone defaulted at 2, so I tried 3. No change. 4 isn't much better either.

I actually found three to be grating to my ears. So two is my option, save for the earpiece which I set at one. I wonder if your settings are sticking. There are some settings that won't stick on the 3d, like the wimax settings inside epst(##3282#).
Also, try the tab for mms audio, I believe it's called.

Thanks, gonna go into qpst and change my settings back then flash this so I don't blow my speaker to bits.
Will let you know how it works. I increased your thank meter for it.
Edit: Thanks! It worked on Eternity. Thanked another one of your posts for the big help. Wish I knew about this yesterday to save myself from buying volume+. =P

Sorry about that folks, should also said to turn down your sound all the way.
This mood can blow your speaker out pretty easy.
s3nt from my 3D wond3rland

I turned off volume+. I never changed my qpst settings due to the fact I never noticed a difference. Better than ever with xloud.

DSP Manager on Evo 3D - no root required

I was surprised to find that all you need to do on a GB ROM is install the .apk to get it working. Here's a link to the Evo 4G forum post by jelive.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=795233
Just d/l the .apk in the original post and run it from a file explorer like ES File Explorer. You have to enable unknown sources under settings-> applications.
***Do not use the .zip, use the .apk!
This app adds custom equalization, compression, bass boost etc. for bluetooth device, headset, or phone speaker profiles.

To the OP thanks for tht tip
If you don't have an Evo3d well you don't have an Evo3d
Thanks for the Post OP
I have a stock EVO 3d with hboot 1.5
I have not decided to root the phone using the HTC method. Was looking for this program EVERYWHERE. And wasnt sure it would work since everyone said you had to grow a ROOT.
After reading your post I decided to give it a try and downloaded the "es file transfer" and unchecked the "UNKONWN" permissions and loaded it. It works!! after selecting custom and turning the eq up and selecting extreme. got to see if all day it sticks and sticks with a reboot. all I have tested so far is using the volume rocker and hearing a noticably difference in the "ding"
It is not doing anything for 1.49.0012.

HBOOT 1.49.0012, which is a HK GSM version. I don't know why, but DSP Manager is not doing anything for me. No effect is working. I had Desire, Incredible S before and DSP Manager works well for them, however, not on my EVO 3D GSM.

Way to answer the question....
I tried the qps way for myself and my wife with little to no improvement. So then I heard about an app Volume+ there is a free version and a paid version free one works just great but I paid to support the dev.
Volume+
I tried DSP too, but i use Volume+, works great. I wrote a review on my facebook page, link in my sig.
My first two evo 3d phones had very low max volume. When I got my third I was like, wow! I didn't even think there was a problem with the speaker. But after hearing the volume on my third one, the first two definitely had issues I wasn't aware of.

Is there any sound boosting tweaks?

I recently came from the OG Evo, and have noticed that both in the earpiece while in a call and when my phone is ringing the sound level is SIGNIFICANTLY lower than what I was used to before. I'm missing calls and can't really hear people during calls. Is there any tweaks or apps to Max the level out. Thanks in advance

^^^ So all your audio is very low, just not your call volume? Media volume is pretty low on the 3d, but my phone volume was VERY low after flashing ICE. After doing the in_call.zip fix, my media volume is still low, but my phone volume is back to what it was under 2.3*.
Maybe a thread title change?

FWIW, I'm using Newts RC3. If you haven't given his ROM a shot, might be worth a try. It could still be a bit louder, but it went from unusable to workable.

is an awsome rom and use chads kernal qualcom 1a will allow you to use beats which can help get youur media volume higher and cleaner. But watch your speaker like always if you think its pushing to hard it probly is.
Is there a setting in your rom to boost the volume? My old desire had that.
weird. i have leedroid on mine and it's perfect.
my mate got an evo 3d, i s-off'ed it etc and restored my nandroid and deleted what he didn't want etc....and his is nearly silent. Brand new phone so i doubt it's a blown speaker. Very odd.

Any apps that boost volume?

Any apps that increase volume not just ringtone volume but music as well? All in all great phone, the only knock I have is the volume level.
I believe Volume+ does. I use it on my TFPrime.
Check out Meridian for Graphic EQ.

Equalizer apps
There are several equalizer apps that will boost the volume but the best one is call Equalizer by smart android apps. Buy the key and you can save presets for different apps like slacker radio for example or the stock music player. Works in conjunction with beats also. Just move the sliders up and enjoy more volume. Did I mention it works with bluetooth ! Also has themes available !

Been looking for something that works as well.
Coming from my S2, this speaker blows. Can't believe HTC is still putting out these low volume speakers. (I remember e3d being crappy as well)
I've been using the full version of equalizer since my evo 3d. Works perfect on this one too.

The speaker sounds better then the og evo,just not louder and the damn headphone output is loud for a phone lol so I'm guessing you want to boost the speaker volume?
Yes I want to boost the volume. Apps such as Pandora, Sirius, even the music player aren't very loud. These are the apps I use regularly that need a boost in volume. Even the speakerphone is fairly quiet
