I tried searching but didn't find anything about this yet, but is there a mod to increase speaker volume output? I feel like even when it is maxed out on the phone that it could be louder. I don't think if we increased it the quality would go down that much at all.

Hopefully Faux will come out with a fix within his kernel sometime soon. He was already able to increase volume via headphones although that has been pretty loud already anyway.

I don't have the phone yet but I've seen people saying that the headphone volume is a bit quiet.
Obviously "quiet" is a personal thing, but if it is quiet (to me), is there a way to make it louder? Music (and satnav) are the two most important things to me.
Sorry if this is a silly question. I'm an Android noob.
If to mean apart from turning the volume up no, though I've found it to loud to listen to comfortably on full volume and I'm 18 not some old guy haha hope that helps

Not quite true......
If you root then you can use dps manager to pump up the volume (Though it is debatable weather or not this compromises on quality).
You could also use the EQ settings in Power AMP to do a the same sort of thing...
I have installed volume+ by Meltus. It also has some eq and bass boost settings too. You can download it from here and doesnt require root. I also use poweramp. I found the biggest gains on the speaker and bluetooth. Be careful with max boost and volume in speaker mode as I got my speaker to pop and stop working for a few seconds but luckily wasnt damaged.

A recent post mentioned the secret code to raise basic volume level .

the title of the thread was called "volume codes". it seemed to have the real deal code fixes, but some said it worked while others said it didnt, so i'm totally confused.
for the people with low volume thru headphones, is this only with the stock headset? or has anyone tried a higher quality headset and sill have low volume?

Hey,
I'm having a problem with the extremely low in-call speaker volume on my GSM hero. Anyone got a solution to this problem?
The amount of information you communicate is overwhelming.
How about a headset?
what kind of information would you like? the phone is rooted, i've tried a whole bunch of different roms and kernels and still no difference. At the moment i'm using WildHeroWWE 1.2.1 and LV 0.4.7 . And I would really like to be able to use the phone "as is"
Yeah, ROM and kernel were the informations I wanted to hear.
Not that I'm aware of the different settings of ROMs or kernels in the audio area, however I tried to find some informations.
As you said, there is no change in the in-call volume on different ROMs.
So I would count the software part out.
Maybe you got a defective speaker?
Let's try something out: While calling change the output to the external call speaker. It should at least be a bit more unquiet. Maybe you can compare the different loudnesses (loudnesses?! ) ... if the external speaker acts normal there is definitely a problem with the internal speaker.
Have you tried to raise the volume with the left button?! You didn't answer to your old thread, so I think you did.
Well, it's like this, everything seems to work, the in-call speaker volume is just a little to low. I can hear everything that is said when i'm talking on the phone, if i'm in a totally quiet room or something like that.The sound is infact quite clear, I would just like it to be a little louder. If i set the call to speaker, the volume is normal, i'ts just the in-call speaker volume that is too low.
Really hope some of this stuff makes sense...
So how do i increase the volume of this phone? I notice it is extremely quiet in relation to the Nexus and any iPhone. I know this has a good speaker in it so there has to be some kernel or app boost.
I'm on elkay's latest kernel so maybe he has something in there enabled to boost volume?
Shamrock I had the same problem with my first one. The external speaker volume was real low. I compared it to a rezound, gnex, and an old DX it was the quietest. So I took it to verizon and compared it to the demo unit. It was a big difference. They replaced it no problem. I would take it back!

I think you may have a defective unit.. my DNA's speakers (both the earpiece and the external speaker) are extremely loud.
Is anyone else annoyed about how quiet the volume is with headphones plugged in? I'm not using the official ones that came with it, but my own IEMs.
It's so quiet that on a Tube I can hear way too much external noise. For a multimedia device, this is making me unhappy!
My bootloader is locked so I can't root. Does anyone have any other suggestions or should I just get my portable amp back out?!
Thanks!
Did you already try all the sound enhancements in the settings???
Sound enhancements don't help much. Try the "normalize" option.
All other "enhancements" just lead to dynamic loss, to "pumping" sound and loss of audio details. Bad choices.
Tweaks like the ones done using "PowerAmp" do NOT work, just cause distortion.
By the way: I HATE the low volume, too. It's just annoying.
Yeah, the sound enhancements don't really do that, even normalize seems to be a bit hit and miss (sometimes i switch between it and volume goes up, other times down!)
It sounds like there's way too much processing of the sound going on. I know the noise cancelling function is software based so wonder if this is getting in the way, as it were? I can find no way to turn it off though.
So without root, it's unlikely to find a solution?
Shame.

Have any of you found a solution to this problem? I have Bose head phones, of very good quality, and the volume when using them is low. The volume control in the Settings in the Z2 tablete only increases volume until half way through the available movement of the control, and when moved further to the right it won't increase volume at all.
The actual volume through the built in speakers is loud enough.
On my IPad 3 the volume is much louder with head phones.
Hello!
I own a Alcatel OneTouch 4033D phone with rooted Android 4.2.2. The sound coming off the phone at first, before i tweaked some things was a bit quiet so i went to the engineer mode and raised it. But throughout having this phone the bass is sort of lacking and i cant really feel it. Ive used many types of headphones and they all sound the same so its the phones fault. Ive used viper4android and always receive a fake bass. When i increased the volume of the bass, other frequencies got lower. I know there could be some sound compression going on as the volume becomes lower only if i increase the bass. It doesn't happen for the other frequencies. Also there is some hearing aid that this phone has that always pops up when i increase the volume above 80%. Thats what i know . The headphones i use are heavy bass so are the earphones.
Hope you can help me,
TheJuli
