[Q] Vollume is horible - HTC Rezound

I am new to my rezound. My rezound is about less than a week old. Is there any way to increase the vollume on this device for the ringtone and notifications like when you receive a text or email? If its in my pocket and im driving somewhere forget it. I wont hear it. The vibration motor isnt stong too compared to my old droid 2. I love this rezound phone. But i am not happy with the voullume sounds. I tried to do some digging and read that its because of the ice cream sandwich software download. it wasnt like this with gingerbread? If not can I go back to gb. I dont know what advantages ics does over gb. but if im in another room than my phone is at home i wont hear it. I dont think there are apps to my knowledge that increase ringtone and notifications. I appreciate any help on this matter. Cause I am still trying to figure this one out. Thanks for your help.

S-off your phone and you can go back to GB if you want and also you might want to try Newts rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501512 when I tried it, volumes were super loud with it.

I am a little confused on what u said. I appreciate ur help though. I am a newb with the software thing part of the phone. Can you please explain to me step by step what I have to do? I don't mind going back to gb or doing what ever you had when your phone was super loud. Thanks again.

Not really much you can do unless your phone is actually broken (in which case get a new one). Maybe make a louder ringtone?

Try these ideas:
Go to Settings --> Sound, General --> Volumes --> verify that your 'Ringtone & notifications' is turned up to the volume you desire. Call yourself from another phone to test the volume setting. If this is already set to 'max' and you're still unhappy with the volume level, try the next suggestion.
Go to Settings --> Sound --> Incoming Calls, Pocket mode --> check the box (doing so will increase the ringer volume while your phone is in your pocket or handbag). If you've already tried this suggestion, try the next one.
If that doesn't work, change your ringtone to one that's loud and high pitched. The higher pitched ring tones 'sound' louder because you can hear them over the background noise of say, a car, or a shopping center.
Do you have problems hearing people when you're on a phone call? If not, then your speaker is ok and your issue is more than likely, the ringtone itself. Some ringtones are barely audible. I've tried a few that I really liked, but some of them were nearly impossible to hear - ever. The ringtone I use now is called Standard 3 on my phone. I've collected ringtones from each of my phones over time so I've added a bunch. You might not have the same one. For me, Standard 3 is super loud and I have to remember to turn my phone ringer down when I go into a restaurant or quiet store. It sometimes scares the bejeebies outta me! Lol!
I'm using stock ICS and there's nothing wrong with the volume on my phone so it's unlikely that the ROM is the problem on yours. Try different ringtones and you might find one that's interesting and loud. Zedge is an app you can load from the Android Market and you can download tons of free ringtones, wallpapers and other cool stuff. I'm sure you can find something there that you'd like.
Good luck!

[Q] is there any way to take photos without shutter sound

i don't want shutter sound while taking pics
even in silent mode i can hear that sound
any other way to disable it
reducing volume to 0 works for me
another way would be by editing the registry.

? What should I edit?
Find Windows\camerashutter_mirage.wav or shutter.wav and replace the empty .wav
That's the first thing I tried. Searching registry for these strings doesn't yield any results. The files themselves sit in \Windows, but I can't delete or replace them.
Which software did you use?
Why would you want to take pictures with no sutter sound? I remember some one asking this before and was told the shutter sound is to stop people taking picture of people with out them knowing. It made me laugh too but you never know.
I personally want to remove it because it sounds at the wrong time, messing up my pictures of people.
If it worked properly, I'd certainly leave it. Don't know about the others. You can't disable it on the iPhone IIRC, but nobody complains.
Try putting you finger over the speaker as it very easy to mute the sound like this and does not get in the way on the lense, just tried it for you and it kinda work. Its not the best fix but you never know it may help.
I only got my Mozart last week but turning the phone volume to "0" silences the camera...
Turning the volume all the way down works for me as well, but it's an awkward workaround - it doesn't work in the camera application itself, I have to do it beforehand, and it takes too much time.
There is a reg hack available for this.

4 questions - 1 very important

1) Is honeycomb available for use, or are the available honeycombs not complete versions?
2) The important question: sometimes I mistakenly press the "+" volume button, and if it is the last tick or the one before it, the sound becomes extremely high that I'm afraid if this happened a lot my hearing will be really damaged. So, is there a way to re "tune" how much the volume goes up, or to limit the sound to some limit?
3) What should I do to get android apps to work on my NC? If I have to root it, what method should I follow?
4) Should I update from 1.01 to 1.1?

You will need to root to use apps. I use CM7 from emmc everything works great for me and if you need or want to go back to stock there are easy ways to do that. Just make sure you read install directions and follow them exactly.

1: Honeycomb is not ASOP from Google yet. The version currently running on the nook was ported from the emulator. It seems to work ok from what people are saying but its not full honeycomb.
2: not that i am aware of. I personally remapped those buttons to menu and back, and you could do the same and use an application to control volume.
3: You will need to root your device to unlock the full power.
4: this really depends on what you want to do. 1.1 adds a few bug fixes and the ability to use pinch to zoom in the stock webbrowser on the nook. If you root this using autonooter, you will get to keep the nook app that everyone seems to like, but you will be on eclair, which means no flash. You could wipe the device completely and install Nookie froyo (android 2.2) CM7 (android 2.3) or the honeycomb build mentioned above (android 3.0) Personally i really like what they have done with cm7 and they are constantly updating it. but really its your call. read the other forums on the exact steps to do any of this, its all well documented there.

I wish I had this problem! Are you using extremely efficient headphones? I can't get my NC to output audio at any level I would call loud!
My current solution is an external powered speaker & "Mymusicon" with the sub knob turned all the way up.
Cheers,

use the overclocked kernel for a very nice volume increase (even if you don't overclock.)
Also the DSP manager app has a bass boost and EQ that can crank out volume if need be.

Thank you

I have hearing loss in both ears (one more than the other,) and tho, as you can see, it is really too loud for me at the first tick or the one before it. They are called Brainwavz M1, I got them for 30-40 dollars.

[Q] Volume+ Issues

So after doing many hours of searching I truly believe I am the only person with this problem. If for some reason I have missed this problem already and it has been solved, I do apologize sincerely.
I just got a Samsung GS2 with AT&T, rooted it first thing, and flashed the UnNamed ROM. After having it for a few days now, the ringer volume and Alarm volume are too low for me to hear in my pocket. So upon doing a bit of digging, I came across an app called Volume+. I am sure many people know what this is and have recommended it to others with my same problem.
I say again, I have already installed this app!
However, after turning all the settings full blast, level 15 in most cases, there is no change in volume.
Reading more about the app, its SUGGESTED that I flash CM7 and remove the DSP Manager... but I don't want to do that. I don't care about removing the DSP Manager, but I happen to like the UnNamed ROM. Besides, they said they recommend the CM7 ROM but "should" work with others.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated here. I am new to this whole thing, but I do know Linux VERY well and I am not afraid to tinker with things I probably should't.
Thanks again.

i had this issue as well. Try this, go to applications/manage applications/ and clear the data in volume+, then, without opening it, reboot into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik cache, then reboot as normal, open volume+ and use these settings: speaker settings/check speaker modifications(leave virtual room unchecked/ then go to EQ settings, select "good quality"/then select 15 under volume level, leave everything else alone! let me know how it works out for you, cause i see a HUGE difference with this app, and i use it on all my ROMs, which is at least 15 if not more that ive flashed.

[Q] CM 7.1 low sound volume and a market that keeps freezing

Hello, for the past few weeks i've been using cm 7.1 on my i9100 and I'd be glad to say that the rom is perfect, if some issues didn't come up. Firstly, since the first day of use, i've realized that the sound volume (both from speaker and headset) is fairly low compared to samsung's rom (to be frank going above 50-60% in volume options doesn't make a difference). Is there any solution to this? CM 9 apart from the "known issues" got that bug too?
The second problem came up a few days ago and it's related to the android market app. Everytime you scroll through an app's details, the phone freezes and the only way to restore it, is to turn it off and on again. Currently, i'm using app brain which doesn't seem to have that problem, but i really love google's app. So, any solution to that?
Try the app in my sig to give the headset/headphone volume a boost, works really well & only distorts the volume at very high levels (>75% which you shouldn't need). There are apps on the Market which can boost the speaker volume, not sure how well these work as I haven't tried any.
So far as the Market is concerned, I use a CM based rom and have had that problem as well. The only fix I've come across/read about is to restore a much earlier version of the market (hopefully someone else reads this thread and has a fix that can help both of us ). I haven't done this myself as I've trained myself to do all my scrolling thru app details on my PC first & simply do the install/update on my phone without scrolling thru the details , but I'm sure a search on here should dig up something/the apk you need.
Ask in the right place may get an answer quicker .

[Q] S5 Vibration Editing? Not intense enough

I'm on a rooted S5 on Touchwiz running Xposed and a handful of modules. No vibration, including custom ones I can create, are close to loud enough for me to hear at work, which is a problem because at my job I get a lot of calls at random times from my boss. I have tried using Vibe, which actually allowed me to download a vibration loud enough to hear at work, but it replaces your SMS service's vibration notification, and it constantly puts itself into silent. I have not been able to find where the vibration is downloaded on my phone using Androzip or through my computer via USB, I am under the impression Vibe is not set up to allow you to export the ringtones you download. I am new to rooted phones, so I do not know my way around my system well enough to know if this is the case or not. I tried downloading a loud wav vibration file, but it is only available as a text notification sound, not a vibration. I do not want to have to go in and change my ringer and my notification tone and back every time I go to work, on lunch, and leave the building if I do not have to. Do any of you know how I can either edit my vibration setting to apply one of the ones I have already found, where I can download a very loud vibration tone my phone will actually recognize and let me apply, or if there is another app such as Vibe or an Xposed module that is actually working? I've been looking for almost a week now, I figured it was time to throw out all the details and ask. If anyone is able to help me out, I'd greatly appreciate it. What could be better than the appreciation of a guy with one post?
