I'm coming from a D1 and was used to its speaker volume. I've noticed that in most all apps (skype, youtube, sirius xm) my Tbolt's output volume is pretty low. I've got the slider up as high as it goes, and it doesn't come close to the output of my last phone. Is this something with the ROM I'm running? Are people with stock phone's noticing the same problem? Is there a setting I'm missing?
Thanks
Did you change the media volume in sound settings or just the overall volume of the phone?
I'm running miui and for some reason, cannot find the file of the tone that plays when you use the volume rocker to adjust the ringer volume. I CAN'T STAND THAT TONE. I've looked in system/media/audio/ui, and there IS a file called VolumeAdjust.ogg, but when I played it it didn't sound anything like the tone i normally hear. Disabled that file anyways and the original tone remains.
Since the ICS update, I've been having some issues with the built in music player.
First, playing music, when a notification is received and you have a notification sound set, music pauses, notification sound plays, then music plays at the notification sound level until you adjust the volume. Not sure if this is an ICS bug or HTC music player bug.
Second, playing music, when google navigation speaks a direction, the audio volume is not lowered and/or paused like on GB. Basically means you can't listen to music and navigate, as music drowns out any navigation directions.
Google play music does lower the volume properly when navigating, but it can't use the HTC SRS WOW filter or Beats filter. Same applies to any other third party app, so they aren't acceptable solutions. Generally, I prefer the HTC music UI anyways.
Anyone experiencing the same problems/have workarounds/etc?
I haven't tried this so I will see if it happens to mine. You could always try flashing the beats mod that allows beats to work with all apps. It would be a band aid in effect

I get the increased volume after a notification too. Not sure if there is a setting to block out notification sound when music is playing like in CM. Haven't really hunted around yet. As for the other issues I don't play music during navigation so don't know about that.
Its not a reset issue I believe its a flaw built into Sense. Probably a line of code written wrong for the notification volume while music is playing on HTC's music player. I believe other players have options to mute notifications sounds but I haven't checked to be sure.

Yes. Sort of took the ota while unlocked and totaled my install. So wiped everything quite a few times.
Re: disabling notification sound. I actually prefer to hear it; disabling it isn't a good solution. I suspect it's a bug in sense and/or the music player.
Flashing the beats mod would be no good as I only use beats when using headphones. I disable it when using speakers as it sounds like crap over them - the HTC SRS filter sounds better. It's my understanding that the beats mod is not easily disabled on the fly, either.

As a temporary solution I've set the volumes for notifiactions and ringtones to the same as media to see if that at least alleviates the problem of having to lower my sound volume when the mysic player is running. Now I just need to find a way to test it out.
Edit: It didn't work, I sent an email to myself from my pc while I was listening to music thru the phones headphones and the volume increased as usual. I went into settings and the notfications volume had actually increased on it own, its like it resets itself to some default voulme after a notification. The media volume I had set hadn't increased at all but the volume was definetly louder. Its as if the media volume switches to using that of the notification and ringtones setting.
I included some pics as to whats happening. Volume 1 is what I set before the notification was sent and volume 2 is where the settings were after a notification came in. However the phone doesn't appear to even be using these settings as the music is much louder than the settings in either photo.

Yeah, any sort of volume adjustment fixes the level, after the notification.
I have a fascinate and I am on aokp_fascinatemtd_milestone-5-glitched and my ringtone is so low I miss most calls unless it is literally next to me.
Is there a way to increase the volume of the speaker so i can hear it?
Thanks
The voodoo sound app is on this rom.
lol c'mon now. I'm gonna assume u have the volume turned all the way up already. Either boost the sound output using a volume control app like Volume+ from the play store... or edit ur ringtone with sound editor to increase the amplitude. Depending on ur version of AOKP, u can boost sound via "Device Settings" or "Galaxy S Settings" in System Settings. All else fails, flash the latest AOKP rom.

The problem really was that the phone would lose the ringtone and not ring at all.
I had to create a media folder then a audio folder then a notifications folder then a ringtones folder and put the ringtone in there......now I have a ringtone that works and I can hear it.
Hello,
I have recently replaced the backcover of my Xperia Z2
and because i made a mistake one speaker is broken now. Stereo does not work. This ist not a huge problem for me but after the 6.0 Update (i am running eXistenZ 5.0.0) the Ringtone Volume is way lower than the Volume of the same mp3 file player as when played music with the music app. It is so low that i am not able to hear it with all the enviromental noise. This is apparently not a bug but rather a protection from Sony to not harm you wars if someone would call you during a call where you had your phone close to your ears. I am wondering if a custom tom would fix this problem. I tried to boost the volume of the mp3 with audacity and enabeld ClearAudio+ in the settings but after boosting it wasn't really louder , just more distorted. I even tried it with a tasker task to play my Ringtone as a music but the voulme wasn't increased. Is there any rom to fix this. I have twrp installed so installing a rom would not be a problem.
With kind regards
