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....!

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

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

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.

try listening to the music with ear plugs in your ears. that should make it a bit less noisy

sup people, im using revolution rom and it is very good but the sound with my headset is not as good as when i was using cyanogenmod with that dsp manager that had bass boost..
is that possible in my current rom, ive read something bout voodoo an galaxy tuner but galaxy tuner just freezes when i select the sound option..
thanks in advance
Voodoo has bass boost, just download Voodoo control app from market and try if you have voodoo sound on your kernel.
If not, then flash kernel that has Voodoo sound.
Yeah, use voodoo control app and a kernel with voodoo sound. Or buy the voodoo control plus app and load the voodoo module - you need root. Voodoo has pretty nice bass boost.
Voodoo in conjunction with power amp pro.......awesome!

ok but when i open the voodoo app (plus version 1.0.5) i deont see any bass boost, all i see is headphone amplifier and some other things? where exactly should i enable this ? i need some help guys
Well, you should get the free voodoo control app from the market and flash a kernel with voodoo sound. If you want to just install the plus version of the app and load the module, you shouldn't pirate the app but buy it. If you had done that you would know that the current version of voodoo control plus is 3.0.3 and you need at least version 2.1 of the app to have the bass boost option.

I saw it yesterday. I just hate Beats and all their overpriced junk. Anyway, if you value quality sound you're will be more satisfied with the sgs. Its wolfson sound chip makes it one of the best DAPs out there. You just need voodoo and enable the options in the voodoo control app (did you check your inbox?). SGS just sounds amazing - I doubt that any Beats improvement in the dhd rom can make its sound chip better. Wolfson and SGS is the way to go - believe me. Almost no other phones come even close to the sgs with voodoo sound and a nice quality pair of headphones.

Well, I'm using the ROM from my signature. Anyway, voodoo is not not just "good enough" it is awesome. You should know that 50% of the sound quality comes from the Hardware and the software of the device and the quality of the music files - and the other 50% come from the headphones. The voodoo bass boost together with sennheiser ie8, for instance, will blow your mind. If you're using cheap headphones yo can use cyanogenmod or whatever and still complain. Just my 2 cents
edit: about the market - which version of the market do you use.? Are you using the new market or the old one?

So, you're using the plus version of voodoo. Did you mount the module from the app? You should be able to hear the difference and especially the bass boost

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

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)
