Loud ring tones for captivate

I am using captivate for a long time now..and faced a problem..which obviously a common problem for all of the captivate users...
which is very low speaker volume...its there in both the situation..when we are on a call and put our phone on loudspeaker or even when there is an incomin call and its ringing..
i missed many calls just coz i couldnt hear them...
tried lot of apps which claims to increase the speaker volume...but sorry to say..i cant notice any change..or may be if there is a change...then its so less ..which is of no use..
so i searched around and found some ringtones which r quite loud in nature...so just posting here to help other captivate users...
i didnt create any of them..i just got it from diff diff sources n places...
hope ppl will find it useful..or else if its a waste then i m sorry ...and admin can delete this thread...
these files r mp3..so ppl can download it and put it on sd..and just play it thru music player..and set it as ringtone..or if u hav root access
then u can put it in system/media/audio/ringtones...and reboot then u can see it in the phone ringtones menu
u dont hav to change it to ogg files..mp3 will serve fine...
if ppl will like this thread..then i will add some sms notification aswell...let me know if its useful and u ppl r satisfied then i will add
coz that is also too low...attimes i dont even know for hours that i hav a pending sms to read if i dont check my phone...
Edit : added 3 loud sms notification and 1 loud alarm tone..
hittin thanx wouldnt hurt if u like my thread...

Thank you mate,had this problem for sometime now....!

most of theringtones r indian music..but its just music..not the words...so doesnt matter..but 2-3 i added is diff....
i will update more soon..and ppl can hear it before they put it in their phone..

If you're rooted its apps that lets you control the speakers volume...you have to be careful tho you can cause permanent damage to your device it you crank it up to high. It tells you the safe thresholds though. I'm using it now. Feel free to PM me and I will send you a link.

this thread is basically for people..who doesnt wanna take risk of using such apps(as u only mentioned that its risky)..and every phone user isnt a techie...
..and these ringtones will work for both rooted and nonrooted phone user....rooted user will only hav the benefit of movin these ringtones to their rom ringtone folder..and can see it in dorect menu of ringtones...
so basically its easy n simple..and nice melodies ..
but as u mentioned..i will certainly like to try that app..i hav sent u a pm..will post the feedback after use..though i did try few apps from the market already...

Yes what is the root app to increase external speaker volume?
I only know voodoo sound for the headphones.

that app is known as volume+ ..its available in the market...thats what this man was suggesting..
but i did download and used it after his recommendation again..but its useless..and its more like equalizer....
so if u put all the eqalizin values to max then like bass n treble...but then it kills the quality of the music...

use a music editor to make a ringtone, lower the quality, but increae the gain. I did theis for a couple ringtones and they are definitly louder

I do that someone when I like any particular music.and if I want that for my phone...and if the volume is low...

Generally you want to find the high frequencies in songs to use for ringtones. Bass sounds wont work since the speaker is so small.
And I have also used audio editors to apply EQ to remove some bass frequencies and increase gain of the high frequencies.

I was searching for loud ringtones for my S4 and came across this. Downloaded it and the collection seemed good. So, I replied to show my appreciation to the OP for his effort.

Here's a what I do. I use ringdroid from the play store to make any ringtone I like. Then use an app called mp3 amplifier, which increases the"gain". In other words, it makes it as loud as you want, or as loud as your phone can handle. My favorite is "welcome to the jungle", it's loud as hell

Does anyone else get this volume warning after 4.2 update?

Googled this and cant find anyone else with this issue. It's starting to get really annoying. I'm hoping that there is a place somewhere in settings to turn this off.
Posting from a UK rooted stock nexus 7.

Weird, I've never seen that before. I wish I did, mine is still pretty quiet.

lol, haven't seen this before!
but i think its kinda nice that you get warned, especially when you are using headphones...

The problem is that this warning happens at something like 40% volume which is way too quiet to listen to anything with my headphones in. Would be nice if there was a way to turn off the warning.
By the way this only happens when headphones are plugged in, it lets you raise the volume normally when they are disconnected.
I'm guessing is just an EU thing.

I have that warning too... I'm in the US. The warning itself doesn't bother me, what bothers me is that my headphone volume is noticeably quieter since the update. And it does occur around 40%, I thought everyone was getting this.

If everyone is getting this I'm surprised that not many have complained really. The popup is really, really annoying to me.
Sort of reminds me of the epilepsy warning they added to ps3 in an update that you cannot turn off and adds about 5 secs to boot time.
Can't say I've noticed headphones being quieter.

I have the message too

Some people don't have to be spammed with the same information over and over again to get the message.
It would be okay if the message came in at a volume that was dangerous but at the 40% mark its just too quiet to be usable.

I just threw some albums on to check. Yep I get it, then got it again after a reboot, and again after removing and putting the headphones back in a bit later. God dammit.. I do not need Google holding my hand doing every day mundane tasks.. Why do we live in such a pansy nanny state?

It is also to avoid people suing google. If people are to stupid to use a normal volume, they will sue if they have ear damages. look at mcdo and the hot coffee.. ridiculous.
Because of that , they needs to go this way

I know but it just enrages me the sissy sue happy `I'm a victim of lacking common sense so pay me' world we live in.. I know it will be removed in custom ROMs..

it was added as config option in 4.2
<!-- reference volume index for music stream to limit headphone volume and display warning -->
<integer name="config_safe_media_volume_index">6</integer>
also this should be in q/a

I've never seen this pop up. I do notice that volume on you tube video is better, was very quiet, now I only need 50% to sound good. I tried a song from my card at 90% got no warming.

Hmm...

overlay/frameworks/base/core/res/res/values/config.xml. But it's just a source file. Grepping through /etc for "safe_media_volume" returns nothing.

Yes I get that warning but only when the headphones are plugged in.

I'm seeing this on my Note2 and it drives me crazy, I plug it into my car and run the phones volume at 100% and use my amp to control the volume.. I don't need it pretending it is smarter than me. If anyone finds a fix let us know..

Its almost the same whatever settings I have (if you don't have other headphones that you bought instead of the ones supplied in the box).
The best is to buy PowerAmp and you get very nice SOUND! :good:

I hear a genuine difference, regardless of which earphones I use.

I got some in the phone box, but it all came in a larger box with some MK200 over the head phones. I will try out your settings - but am actually yet to use either set! (sim card only went in last night!)

I have my EQ set quite high and i also have the clearbass set too +6 and also i sometimes may use the surround sound setting one other thing u may not know this but say you"rented" a music album and that bitrate is low say 128kb the sound will be not so good have at least 320kbs on the stuff i "RENT"albums or tracks and the sound is way better
hope this helps if so just hit the thanks button

Loud Speaker hack please anyone?

Hello does anybody know or have a hack to make the speaker louder? I hate to say it but its not as loud especially on the phone call.
Also i already exchanged it for a new phone and pretty much same. Its not mind blowing loud like people say ,,that's hype.
Seriously anyone here may know of a way to update some files to make this ***** louder? My galaxy note 2 have that hack and BOY ITS FREAKING AWESOME MIND BLOWINGLY LOUD LOL
please help

It's pretty loud and it much clearer with bests audio enabled. Sorry to say your deaf and you don't make threads for requests

K c'mon man o I'm deaf now come on man take a look around on Google I'm not the only one that having this problem I've been googling for this phone like I said its loud but its not mind boggling or mind blowingly loud

Please ask these questions in the Q&A section.
the speakers are already pretty darn loud. not really much left to do with them.

I would have to agree that they aren't as loud as I though they'd be. I compared it to an Iphone 4s and it's marginally louder... Now the sound quality on the other hand is much richer than any other phone speaker I've ever heard.
A speaker hack would be awesome, as long as it doesn't reduce the sound quality.

Sorry, have to agree with post that says phone is loud enough.
If you feel it's volume is insufficent then either
1) your volume is turned down
2) your device is faulty
3) possible hearing impairment

I don't wish to get into a slanging match with you, or anyone else. I did consider if my response was wise, and hoped that it wouldn't have elicited the response that it did. You obviously have a very different opinion of loud. I did wonder if I was mistaken and you weren't referring to the HTC One . I haven't been influenced in my opinion by anything I read anywhere, my opinion is based solely on listening to my HTC One through its speakers at various volume settings with music and videos.

You telling me you think you tube video is loud on htc one? Dude you're crazy. You must of seriously doing it in library lol

@OP
There's a sony xloud hack scattered in the xda forums. Once you port it on HTC One it should increase the loudness by multiple levels. Take for example my old 2011 HTC Phone. Just 1 level from the lowest setting could make it already sound loud enough for people to hear it clearly within 3 meters.
Whilst when disabled you can't even hear anything unless you put the speaker in your ear and you'll hear only a tiny sound.

So how do we get it to
work..
?

I don't understand why everybody is bagging on this guy cause I made my first phone call with the phone and I was definitely surprised at how NOT LOUD the volume was. I even tried turning it up... definitely was a little inadequate for my taste. I mean I haven't said much said that was only one call and one call only but I seriously would have preferred the volume to have been louder personally.

the speakerphone during the call definitely way too low

The speaker volume in calls is a little too low, I will give you that, but then we are not trying to use the speaker phone in a crowded room or trying to let every single person on a crowded train hear your conversation.
As for youtube and the music app, I have yet to hear a phone best the volume or quality of the HTC One speakers. Iphone ? HAHAHA please don't make me laugh so much i'll bust a gut!
As for Note 2 volume, sure, it might be loud, but for crying out loud, that phone is HUGE!

[Q] in call volume too loud?

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)
