Is there a mod for the nexus one that actually works for increasing the volume? I'm sick of having the superior phone but the lowest volume. I can hear these flip phones alerts or playing music over industrial fans and I can hardly hear my own phone when it's quiet.
right this sucks!!! please anyone knows of any kind to increase the volume really??
as in speaker wise not by ear??
We just need to be careful with how much increase we add. People will go and start blowing up their speakers
The music player Lithium has a volume increaser, but only works whilst playing music
Many of the custom kernels you can install will include the Audio Boost hack. Take a look at Wildmonk, pershoot or intersectraven's kernels.
Umm cyanogen ROM like doubles call volume with the hack and you can't turn it up past 50% or it blows your ear hole off. Have you never tried the cyan hack? It solves this issue long ago.
I have his rom. And Froyo. I still find it very hard to hear anything on my phone. My phone is a freaking Nexus One. Why is the volume so damn low? This is embarrassing. If I need something extra then please tell me what I need to do cause enough is enough. The phone ringing is so hard to hear I damn near miss calls. Meanwhile a flip phone boost mobile outranks my phone with it's volume? Tell me someone is kidding?
mine has always been quite loud, almost annoying, with notifications, when its stock or with cyanogen
maybe try amping up the volume of the ringtone file or notification with an audio program like audacity?
i also got the same problem. the volume is too low. a lot of times i missed the notification because i can't hear it. even in quiet room.
and i stumbled into this web. androidaudiohacks.com
the guy provided an apps to crank up the volume. but it still won't work on nexus one. the guy said it's WIP though. maybe someone can take a look at that web and figured a way to do it on nexus one.
If my phone is in my pocket, I simply do not hear it ring or notify no matter how loud i have it set, period. The sound is pretty good quality-wise but i can only watch a movie with ear buds or if its absolutely silent in the room.
I tried showing off my phone to a friend, he really like the picture but didnt understand the point since we couldnt hear the damn thing!!! He said he'll stick with his stupid iphone, and based on the piss poor performance he witnessed i honestly cant blame him. It is odd that the stock volume made it through testing the way it is, it actually makes me question whether or not the finished product did in fact get tested...of course i have the exact same problem with my $2000 vaio laptop. It plays blu-ray dvd's beautifully you just cant hear anything. So im not all that upset at htc in particular, perhaps there is validity to the blowing speakers concern....

I mean on cyan 508 the volume is insanely loud. Like 60% and the speaker distorts. Maybe this was cyan 507 I'm thinking cause I remember reading him say it was too loud so he was gonna reduce it a little.
But I mean the hack was like purposely over the top loud, like silly loud.
People might not realize that if they're using the original protective pouch - it'll eat 3/4 of what the speaker puts out, because it isn't holed in the right places.
The OP might be using one?
wasn't this the same problem plaguing the g1? just wanted to point this out but the iphone can be "loud" but it actually isn't. trying talking or watching a vid in a room with more than 4 people.

what happened was cyanogen added the volume increase into his ROMs. back in cyan 5.0.7 the volume hack was so ridiculously loud that it couldnt be turned up past around 60% cause it would just kill your ears. then i remember him or someone from the team posting that they were thinking about reducing it in a next version.
so i guess i'm saying you could switch to cyan 5.0.7 if you want to see what the speaker volume really could do and how loud it was, its capable. but it seems like he reduced it in newer cyan version. and nobody wants to use an outdated version, so i guess that doesnt help you. perhaps someone could get them to increase the hack volume again.
Got a link to it? Is there a downside to going to a older version? I have cyan 6.0.0. Is there anything different from this version other than volume compared to 5.0.7?

Well all previous versions of cyanogen ROM are available, but I don't have the link handy. It's on his site or maybe even in ROM manager. If you're really gonna go thru this, I would install cyan 5.0.7. The downside is its a 2.1 based ROM, when 2.2 froyo is now the norm. But that older ROM actually had the 720p video hack working which still isn't fully available on froyo ROMs yet. So that's another advantage of using a 2.1 based cyan ROM, in addition to the audio hack it has.
I'm sure this audio hack could be applied to the new cyan ROM if someone could tell us how to do it.
I sent him a PM but no answer. Its frustrating but also apart of the game. I just want volume.

hey guys,
first off i wanna thank all you awesome devs for making the android platform and the sgs the awesome experience it us i switched from iphone about a month back now and i have no regrets.
well maybe except one tiny one? when i was playing music in the car.. and i got a call.. the call audio would come through the same headphone jack and i could hear it through the car speakers while speaking through the phone mic.
is such an option possible on the sgs? also does anyone know of a way to lower the mic input volume for video so as to be able to film in loud environments such as gigs?
im running the megatron rom with froyo.
thanks for your time guys!

I would love for this to work too. I do a lot of work in very noisy areas, and use noise cancelling headphones to deaden outside noise. On my iPhone I could answer calls using the phone mic and headphones for the speaker. It's driving me insane that I can't do this on my Galaxy S.
search.. is that so hard for everyone .. i have posted solution to this multiple times.

Hi all,
I also want to know how to enable/make this work.
I am using Darky's 9.3 ROM with Voodoo Kernel 5.4.1 and have tried all the settings in the Voodoo control app but have had no luck.
Help please...
this is the only thing annoying me with the new ICS. I can only boost my voodoo louder up too 3db, before on Gingerbread it was at least 9db. anyone know a fix?
Looking for one as well

Me too

9db Isn't every 3db is double the output? My ears are ringing thinking about it. Maybe the Note's audio circuit is not capable of more output and your other phone initially was not pushing out as much.

Um no. Gb went up to 10.5. Ics only goes to 3. Truly defeats the purpose of the app

Same here. 10.5db on Gingerbread/Galaxy Note. 10.5db on Honeycomb/Galaxy Tab 7.7. But only 3db on Ice Cream Sandwich/Galaxy Note. What gives?

I guess I'm lucky to have a Tab 7.7 running HC. So I can still use Voodoo Louder on it. I used to use an iPhone 4(S) with a dock-to-line out adapter and a Fiio headphone amp. Voodoo Louder made that unnecessary. I'd hate to go back.

Glad we are not all you... a response from the "respected" dev is what I'm after considering I paid good money for the app like others here. App description in the market has not been changed to highlight the app's gimped features in ICS
Besides, going from 10.5db to a recommended 1.5 in ICS is more than pathetic... I switched to Volume+ but just boggles my mind the lack of support this dev gives
Even when i enable the app and it shows 3db, the slider is only at the Half way mark. It never goes to full 3.
Another thing is that i have not seen any volume increase. Is every one seeing an increase in volume.
@Galaxy Note™…
i too am hoping that like in gb, the db goes as high as 10 because the sound really differs. i used senheisser hd 449 and i can't bring my note and galaxy s at the same time. i have purchased the voodoo sound plus which is compatible only to the original galaxy and the sound really impressed me.
+1... after flashing ics and reinstalling voodoo was sad to see only a +3db volume boost instead of the 10+ with gb... hope a fix/update is available soon...
I thought Boom Sound was supposed to be mini speaker loud? I notice the Beats Audio logo but my volume hasn't been spectacular. Is there a setting I'm missing, perhaps?
The example of use:
This morning, the new Man Of Steel trailer dropped and I was attempting to show off to my co-worker but it just wasn't very audible. Only air conditioning was blowing so we were pretty disappointed. You Tube streamed the trailer fine it just wasn't loud. We tried my Play Music and it wasn't loud either.
The HTC One is firmly in the VERY LOUD category.
Too loud in many instances. Have you, like, turned all volume controls up in settings?

It's the loudest smartphone speaker, either your phone is defective or your volume controls weren't all the way up.

I agree with you 100 percent we had an iPhone fanboy I was trying to showed off also and he wasn't impress ...I started another thread you can search for it and people are saying the htc capped the volume on 1.29 update and the 1.27 firmware is the loudest ...ofcourse say that to the htc one fanboy lol ...it amaze me there are dumb people can't understand what you are saying ..oh well you correct tho there are some of us that knownabout these issues on the htc one. ...by the way don't let me get started in the in call speaker volume ..not loud at all... Perhaps we need to flash 1.27..I bought this phone thinking it will blow me away on the volume dept guess not lol

I was wondering the same thing. I have not been blown away by the speakers on this phone. I got the 1.29 update almost immediately after the first boot so there is no way for me to know what it was like before that. Have you managed to find a workaround or a way to go back or enable the full volume of the speakers???
I'm not saying this is the case for everyone, but for me at least my volume and sound quality were both excellent with 1.27 and 1.29. I often put my phone down while playing music and it fills the room. It's still miles better than my friends s4 and zl. I have to think though that even if some are having volume issues (perhaps the notorious QC issues don't just apply to the build quality), at least you're still gaining the huge advantage of stereo vs mono sound

Someplace, and I forget which forum this was in, a guy found the values needed in order to revert the sound back to as loud as before the HTC update. It was in either Faux123s kernel thread, the ARHD thread, or, Trickdroids thread. I'd advise scanning those. The only thing I remember about the post was it said change the values from 40/40 to 45/45 instead of 60/60 like some guy asked if he could do.
Or maybe that video just had very low volume anyway? Youtube video volumes are NOT normalized and if the vid was soft to being with, Youtube will just stick with that max volume. Nothing you can do with it.
Boomsound is advertised to not only be loud, but to be full as well without the screeching highs and nonexistent lows of other devices.
I've seen a couple zips around the forum for BoomSound I havnt tried them yet but I'll see if I can find em and post them here
http://db.tt/ro9I8C1Y BoomSound zip
http://db.tt/XvIHQ5UK improved BoomSound zip
I would backup before trying these so you can restore if it has negative affects or if you want to try both.the improved BoomSound is a little smaller than the first file
I don't remember where i downloaded these from but I think it was arhd forum.

doesn't make any difference flashing either one over 4.2.2
The zips contain /system/tfa folder from 1.27.xx builds which were based on 4.1.x hence it reverts to same sound on future 1.29.xx builds when flashed
However, in 4.2.2 these files are different and since we do not have any LOUD firmware from 4.2.2 nothing to replace ...we are stuck with what htc gives

Played same YouTube video with my unrooted One and friend's unrooted S4. Louder on S4 even with mine on full volume and front facing speakers. Audio files aren't particularly loud either. Still on 4.1.2. Expecting a little more boom.

hi guys,
does any of you know the way to decrease the in call volume on HTC One? I do struggle to use the phone as in call volume literally kills my hearing and I have to move handset away from my ear to feel comfortable. On the other hand, in S3 which I was using up until now, in call volume seems to be controlled in much better way.
I have installed and tried various apps from market but no luck. this is perhaps my biggest complaint about HTC One which in general is an excellent device.
...if only the in call volume control was better implemented (iPhone seems to have best implementation and smallest increments)
