After finding the volume of my Nexus S insufficient I did a bit of digging and stumbled across an app called volume+. After running across several methods to increase the volume that didn't work I was quite skeptical of this one. Much to surprise it works and works well. I now have a much louder speaker on my NS!
I take no credit for this app, as it is something I just happened across.

I need something that can increase the headset volume on my phone.
It's turned all the way up and if I'm somewhere with just a little noise I can barely hear the person. My Nexus One was clear and loud. My Nexus S is clear, but very low.
Awesome. It works decent

If you set it too loud constantly this WILL damage the speaker.
Anyhow though, great app, confused as to why you posted an old 1.4apk, 1.6.2 is out xD
Ok my ringtones are louder when I listen to them in settings but when I receive a call they dont sound ne louder then they were before volume app was added
Awesome !!
This is a great app. I use it. It's only about $1.50 in the Market, so I went ahead and bought it.
I think voodoo might increase headset volume.
This is a life saver! My speaker sucked but now it's great

hi. I have a question about galaxy note's sound on a headset. I have right now an AKG noise cancelling headset which sounds very well on my cheap sony walkman. But when used on my galaxy note, i have used Equalizers, to DSP stuff, but i must say, bass don't sound good, it is never as good as my walkman. I tried those beats plug in via CWM but still the sound sucks. I currently use powerplayer app but sounds like ****.
any tips?
Okay two things here....one can be the terminals of ur headphones are nit getting properly synced to the 3.5mm jack of ur phone. Second for sound boosting u can use voodoo sound from the market. Doesn't increase bass but increase the overall volume which is limited by default.
BOOMED from my BOMBASTIC NOTE :-D
Thta's what i am wanting, sir. the boom in the bass of that sony walkman. ok, i will try the voodoo app and hope it's good... so how do i fi the jack incompatibility?
thanks for the response.
Get volume+ it works great

Have tried many different players, also worth giving PowerAmp trial a try. The bass that can produce is awesome... If the sounds still tinny with that you can rest assured headphones aren't connecting properly.

I,ve tried many things already, but it is hard to doubt my AKG's. I love those earphones, but what to do, perhaps it is incompatible. I dont want to go bluetooth coz I dont like to waste my battery in such manner. Well i guess i will do some research on compatible earphones, earbuds, headsets, or what nots. Im gonna miss those AKG's if i put them aside, though... Thanks for the response.
Hey everyone, I've been pretty happy with my Xperia Z until yesterday when I was out and people called me and I couldn't really hear anything they said as the volume was too low in the earphone.
The earphone was / is clean and dry and I have tried different settings and of course max volume etc but it just seems to be too low?
Anyone had any better success with talking or rather listening to people trying to talk to you in traffic or noisy environments?
Surely Sony's flagship phone must let you actually hear what people say when they are calling you?
EDIT: I actually tried the service menu and the tests are pretty loud and very clear compared to calls... so at least the hardware seems to be ABLE to do it's job...

I find the sound quality from the earpiece terrible. It's not only quiet but very muffled and I can't really hear people on the phone even in quiet environments. I'm going to take the phone back because of this!

If you haven't yet, try turning off the Speaker voice enhancement under Call settings. That actually improved the in-call sound quality quite a bit for me.

Hm mine was off but turned it on now to see differences, will have a go tomorrow. Also there is a EQ for calls there as well that I haven't tried yet. I'm hoping that it's just the firmware that needs some extra push as the service menu proves Z can provide some serious quality in the hardware...
please confirm your problem here , so sony support can see this

Yes the problem still remains no matter what settings you do... I wonder if a rooted phone with a sound mod might increase the volume on the call side...?

Hi guys,
I know this seems strange, but I'm a bit concerned about the loudness of the headphone volume based on reviews. I hear it is really loud, this seems like a bad thing to me?
On my s2, I am running dorimanx kernel so I can lower headphone volume, as it is too loud to listen to music on lowest settings. I also use power amp as it is quieter than other players. I listen to metal, which seems to be more of an issue than other styles of music due to the density of sound. I have tried multiple headphones, so not an issue there.
Has anyone had any experiences with the one that can calm my fears?
Cheers guys

No it's fine if you got power amp you can turn it down quite low I use power amp I don't have any problems at all

It's really loud, especially with the Beats in-ear headphones. I was surprised that it was such good quality though. Deep bass and hi treble. Excellent earphones.
I would root the device and get an app that can give you -100% to +100% control of your volume. If you install another ROM, you will lose the Beats EQ which is responsible for processing the audio and you will lose quality.
Good luck!

Thanks! I've heard that the quality is great. I haven't come across any apps that allow this? Have been using custom kernels for this. Would you say that on lowest volume it's not too loud? I have noise canceling cans, not inner ears.

Hello everyone got my silver pre order yesterday...does anyone noticed the boomsound is not as loud?
I mean I have the volume all the way up and I was under impression to be a bit more louder am I missing something are there a setting somewhere I can't seem to find it again I tried putting volume all the way up maybe defect anyone?
It should be deafening, if you put it to your ear
So that's what I'm supposed to do?
;p nah to be honest, if it's no blowing you away then it's faulty! It's hard to explain how loud it should be...
pick a song I'll record it for you so you can hear the sound of mine
I agree with the others, it startled me upon the first startup.
This is probably the first phone that I don't have the volume up to 100% all the time. In contrast, I'm using around 30% volume and still feel its loud..
If you don't feel its loud, go replace it
Yep that's EXACTLY what I was saying I mean it's loud but not like in the youtube review videos that I've seen on the Internet where everybody's keeping it below hundred percent I'm at like a hundred percent and not happyit's definitely not blowing me away its loud though but not blowing me away loud
I find it loud for ringtones and notifications but music and video is not louder than SGS3

Don't compress your mp3 files or video files! Make sure the bitrate is high enough.
I am reading threads that's complaining about how loud the volume is even on the lowest setting yet I find this thread stating that the volume isn't that loud on the highest setting. :/
Kinda contradicting to be honest.
It's honestly too loud.
I was trying to watch a movie last night in bed and it was so loud on 3%!
It all depends on the audio and video files you are playing also. Low quality music is going to sound bad regardless of what device it's playing out of

Best to turn beats off when in a big room or a loud enviroment when using the speakers.
Beats on is great when I'm at home and it's not too noisy as you can really hear the low end.
But to be honest I usually leave beats off unless I'm using headphones.

So now it's the files all I'm saying is on videos I saw on YouTube they all have to lower their volume down I'm like at 100% not as blow me away loud just wondering if anyone experiencing the same
I agree with you. Louder wouldn't hurt.
Louder? When im in my room and i have the sound on the lowest setting im still thinking i'll wake everyone up. That thing is really really loud. Im wishing for a setting with even less sound.
Dude I'm definitely not getting that lol it's just loud like any other gs 3 phone lol

So only in youtube it doesn't sound loud?
Did you try the ringtones? Even thou I did not get my phone yet since it will ship Monday, I was testing the AT&T one they had on demo. Just simply playing Ringtone at the lowest setting was quite audible and didn't want to put it up louder since I was the only customer in the store and there was a bunch of employes standing nearby in proximity to where I was.
Probably be safe to say if the ringtones are not loud either, then it could be problem.

Don't get me wrong, it's loud. It's loud enough. However while streaming music for instance, if it could go up a notch or 2 more, it would be even better imo.
Ok so here is another question boomsound or no boomsound?.is it me or boom sound off it's louder like a bit?
Anyone agree?

Definitely. It's louder with it off, but fuller/richer when it's on.
I'm interested in getting this phone, I checked on gsmarena and the freq response is perfect.I just wanna know if anyone's flashed CM if the volume levels on headphones are increased.From my past experience with sony phones, when I flashed CM the levels were always louder but I just wanna make sure before I make the move and throw 500 euros out there.Thanks upfront.

In my experience so far using poweramp, the volume is quite high, i will admit using the stock walkman app isnt as loud. btw unlocking your bootloader in order to install CM will break your camera.

Turned off the equalizer in poweramp and its still fairly good to be honest with you, turned off bass and treble in poweramp aswell, volume level was decent. i dont touch preamp, it distorts the sound too much for my liking. one thing i will mention is that i run a modified stock rom, the developer of the rom has included a mod which increases the headphone and external speaker volume, that may attribute why i get good volume levels and i am using some decent earphones too
