Need Help Free Volume booster ?
Just as the Subject states anyone know of a good FREE app to boost volume. the default max volumes is not loud enough through head phones...
look at the volume+ thread. its the only app that truly boosts volume, bass, n sound quality. its not some glorified equalizer either. allows you to boost speaker, headset, BT speaker or headset. look at the thread. its a paid app on the market but the creator says if you go to his website you can get it for free. make sure to follow instructions exactly that he gives. this will dramatically increase sound volume as my prime is loud as? !#& now..lol
here is the direct link to the developer website where you can get it for free. http://androidaudiohacks.com/?p=158
still look at the volume+ thread here in this section for reference and tips. also after you installed and followed directions. go into prime settings. then sound. then music fx. make sure to click the volume+ tab
Audio Manager
You can also try out audio manager, you can adjust actual volumes with it too, there is a free and a paid version.
I used this
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=hr.podlanica
In the equalizer putting all the frequency knobs all the way up increases the volume above normal.
Volume plus is AMAZING! I boost the volume on all my devices, but be VERY carefully! I personally witnessed an idiot blow thee speaker on his Sensation, then blame me because he didn't pay close attention to my warning. Lol

I use DSPManager to boost my speaker volume by sliding all the equalizer bars all the way up, and it gives a noticable boost in speaker volume.
My question is, is it safe? Will it blow out the speaker because of the increased volumes?
One of the biggest shortcomings of the X10 is the not so loud speaker, this fixes it, but not sure if it's safe.
Thanks for any help.
can't find it on the market, could you post the link here or pm me to it so i could try it out?
The DSP Manager is a fair safe software. Wolf even included it in some flavors of his amazing ROM and nobody complains about losing the speaker (none that I know of).
I use the DSP Manager whenever I want with no trouble at all.
On the other hand I do think you're right about avoiding excesses. The wisdom teach us to keep the balance and don't misuse equalizers and LED flashes.
In my opinion, the best way to listening music in the X10 is still the earphone.

Watch out it can bite in your hand.

Thanks, but I was thinking more along the lines of the increased volume will be used for the ringer, when the phone rings, because it's really soft right now and I can't hear it from the other side of my house. DSPManager fixes that. I do use headphones for my music. I'm just worried that too much ringing might damage the speaker because of the increased volume that comes thanks to DSPManager.
I've had my TFP for 2 days now, very happy in general about the device. The on thing that does bother me though is the speaker volume. When I play the same youtube video on both my TFP and iPhone 4 (aiming the iPhone speaker away from me just like the TFP speaker is) the volume on the TFP is considerably lower than on the IP4. To be honest, and I am far from deaf, some youtube video's are just impossible to watch because of this low volume. MKV files in bsPlayer or Dice are very low in volume as well.
Is this normal?
edit: Two other q's:
2. Unlocking the device by keyboard using the mouse buttons/unlock key just stopped working, anyone else had this?
3. Is there a keyboard key to get into the Task Switcher/Recent Apps?
I honestly can say that my Prime is lovely and loud, never any issues with volume. Check all your volume levels in Settings > Sound > Volumes, mine are all at max. I assume you've probably already done that though.
Yea everything is set to max. I know there are apps in the store with which you can boost you volume, but im not sure how safe these are for the speaker. Since I don't know anyone with a TFP I have no one to compare my device with. It just seems strange to me that the TFP seems to have lower max volume than my phone.
I am using an app called Volume+. It works great at increasing the sound volume and customizing the bass, mids, treble.
And you are not afraid Volume+ will mess up your speaker forever?

+1 for this app, I've been using it on my nexus s since may and have had no issues. You can set it pretty high before it starts distorting your volume--as long as you don't set the volume to max all the time, it shouldn't do anything to your speakers. Just make sure the max volume isn't distorting anything
Volume+ is the ultimate app to boost volume. My prime sounds very loud n clear now. It works. Checkout the thread on it in themes n apps section.
I've had select youtube videos be lower than others, but the prime's sound is usually pretty loud. Its loud enough to turn to about 85% and it play music in a crowded room and everyone still be able to hear the music (e.g. hotel room party). I haven't used Volume+, but I I just installed it and will use it now.

Make sure to follow the instructions. Best to use thread in themes n apps section as a reference. This also boosts headphone volume also if you check it off. After you installed n set it up, make sure to go into prime settings, then sound, then music fx. Make sure the volume+ one is checked off n press OK. Might have to press OK a couple times if it tries to throw up an error. Whatever you do, don't go trying to Max everything out in volume +. Best to leave sound on "good" quality.
Anyone know a way to define the output for the volume levels? Basically when you turn the volume from 0 to the first bump up (I.e. supposed to be very quiet), I find it to be uncommonly loud. Any thoughts?

I am curious about this as well. Seems to be more noticeable when streaming video from the web browser.
I've noticed this also. Since all the ROMs so far are bases off of stock, it has affected each ROM I try as well
I've tried lowering sound in equalizer and looking for quiet apps, but not-so-shockingly no one wants an app to make their phone quieter, only louder. As for now, I either connect to a Bluetooth speaker and play that audio quietly or headphones.
I haven't tested this myself yet (but I will soon because it's such a problem) but I've heard that editing the build.prop (relatively easy to do) can adjust the volume levels. There's another thread somewhere around here that discusses doing this. I'll post back if/when I get it to work.
i used to complain how speakers was low on my previous phones,But dna it super loud on low.Like this beast of a phone have bose built in.
Same problem here. The lowest ringer volume level is still way too loud for work.
And with Sony xloud you can make it louder

I also noticed this problem. The first bump of volume is way too loud. Hopefully someo f the custom roms can tweak this to be more reasonable.
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.

I'm using the beast audio mod as well. Good stuff.

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.

Does this mod increase speaker volume in general? Like listening to music?
Okay, So if you have noticed in either Stock or one of the Many Great custom Roms that your Sony Bluetooth Headphones aren't very loud, or as loud as they are when connected to another audio source (PC, Xbox, PlayStation, Smart TV) Then I have a simple fix for you. I literally felt like a dumbf*ck when I figured this out.
There is a separate volume slider in Sony's headphone app, it is supposed to move separately from the phones volume slider. If you don't see that this is the case then you must go into Developer settings and Disable Absolute Volume Control then reboot your phone now you should see the volume sliders move separately, the one in Sony's Headphone app will control the Headphones Volume while your phones Volume slider will control the Output being sent to your headphones.
This should work for any Bluetooth headphones that use Sony's headphone app, I'm currently using Sony WF-1000XM4's with my Sony Xperia 1 Mark 3.
Mind you this should technically work for any Bluetooth Headphones with either Software or Physical Volume control.
Old news.

To you perhaps but not to all, the reason i got these specific bluetooth headphones was because Best Buy gave me a deal since someone returned them because "they weren't loud enough".
Thank you so much,
I was having problems with this!

You're welcome, and same lol
I noticed after last updates to headphones app sony broke the volume. Well they broke the headphones in general. For me it is not only not as loud as in past, I have also a problem with noise cancelling that is turning off by itself! In the app there is some automatic control, but I do not want any automation, how can I disable it??? XM4 became useless for me with the latest update to sony's crapware app :/
Also, I have volume control on the right headphone. But many times it is not working, do not increase or decrease the volume. I must either reconnect the headphones and turn off/on bluetooth or restart the phone to make it work again. This headphones app is so horrible! Not to mention it does not support my native language... There are probably 300 words max to translate but it's too much $ for greedy sorry to translate it...
