[Q] Stepless Volume ? - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

on the iPhone, im able to increase or decrease the volume in 1% intervals, on HTC One i can only do it in 10-15% intervals
sometimes the lowest 15% is too loud and 0% is too little :laugh: --- i wish i could manage the volume in 1% intervals too ...
is there a solution for this ?
Thanks !

There is an app called "fine volume control" or something like this. Search the play Store for it.
You can also do it when you modify the framework.res. I did it but there wasn't really a change. I think there is some thing new in Sense 5 because on my old HTC One X it worked.

u can find lots of app that control ur volume, brightness and etc
for example u can find an app that set ur brightness to 0%
and about volume also thr s apps just search in play store and install that one for top developer or editor choice
or at least acceptable ranking
:good:

This would be one of my biggest complaints with android. On my s2 I use a custom kernel which helps. I find volume 1 to always be too loud on any headphones. Poweramp has a lower volume which helps. Fine volume control works, but is a little sensitive and jumps around.. Sometimes my notification volume just shoots up super loud etc. But it does work. Modifying the framework seems to be the only sure option. I'm looking at getting a one, but the volume issue worries me. I listen to metal, so its not something likely to be on a display model to check out...

Thanks guys..
It seems that every problem with Android is solved by downloading a program that patches the problem - Volume control being one of them .
i'll look around in app store to find a better volume control than Sense5
Thanks

HD7 : Volume Speaker TERRIBLE

Hi, is there a way to increase the ring volume of the HD7? My wife has her volume set to 10, and when it rings in her purse she can barely hear it. I've tried downloading the HTC app with the "increase volume when in purse" setting but this seems not to help at all. In fact, even at 10 all the sound on this phone is quite low, for example the Netflix app can only be heard in a dead quiet room. For comparison, ithe "10" setting on her HD7 seems to be about the same as "2" on my Dash 3G... All help appreciated. Thank you,

But yes, it seems the speaker is quite low. I think some people think it's a software fault, and it will be fixed in the update. I don't know personally, mine seems loud enough

You keep saying she has it set on 10 when I can set mine to 30? Maybe that's why her 10 seems like a 2 to you?
On the lock screen, up volume up. You should see the volume indicator in the top left. Crank it to 30. Should be plenty loud.
when you are talking on the phone the volume only goes up to 10. however, when you are at the homescreen you can put the volume up to 30.
"In-Call" volume controls the volume of the ear-piece speaker located in the grill at the top of the phone, and yes it will only go up to 10.
The volume which goes up to 30 which you can adjust whilst on the home screen controls the external Speaker located on the back of the phone (which is used for ringtones, etc.)
They are 2 completely seperate speakers so in turn have their own volume controls.

Is There Any Way To Turn Down Speakers Below Minimum Volume?

The speakers are way too loud even on lowest volume when I am alone in my room. I don't need the speaker to be blasting at me when im playing Angry Birds or something. Anything I can do about that?
Update: Trying out an app called Fine Volume Control 2. It was the only thing I could find that did what I want, unfortunately, it seems extremely inconsistent and buggy.
Update 2: Uninstalled Fine Volume Control 2, wayyy too inconsistent and buggy. Still looking for any suggestions.

try volume control apps, like volume control +
Having the same problem. Feels a bit loud at the lowest volume

I cant guarantee this works as I am STILL waiting for my HTC One to arrive here in Australia but when I had my aweful Galaxy Nexus I used a app called Volume+ to turn the volume up as it was so low you couldn't hear it ring. I remember the app also allowed you to turn the volume down. Worth a try.
Volume+ doesn't work for JB so useless for me.
Volume Control+ seems to be just an app with all the volume control sliders in one place which is useless.
There's a update to fix the volume to make it lower don't know if it's out yet it is if you got a custom rom

Ugh... I wished they'd release their fixes already. There is this volume thing and also the 3 dot menu thing.
Bump. Still looking for a solution.
I remember reading about the Music Volume EQ app (on, I believe, Phandroid?) and people said they had some luck with messing with the equalizer settings on this app to turn the volume down for the One. Haven't tried it for myself though.
Yes, if you use the Music Volume EQ app and turn all the equalizer settings down to -15 and the volume down to 1, the speakers are much more quiet!
Yep, using Music Volume EQ for now. Still not as good as having a integrated option, but can live with it for now.
They should of made a slider volume instead of in steps!

Anyone els think this phone is incredibly loud even at quietest setting?

I have my alarm, notification, and ring tones set to one notch above 0 and the alarm still makes me jump out of bed and I jump anytime my phone rings. Does anyone else think their ONE is incredibly loud? I can't imagine setting the volume to anything over 20%.
You can make it noticeably quieter by enabling Beats.
Aside from that, yes, it is a very loud phone by default.
This is going to sound a tad odd, but I think that the lowest volume is not low enough and the highest setting can definitely be higher!
The lower end of the volume should be a tad less. Enough for you to hear it in a quiet room, but not enough to fill up the quiet room (currently the case)
The higher end should drown other devices, but at the current software # version, it only beats other devices by a slight margin...
Think Devs are on this (increasing the max, decreasing the min), but I actually don't have confirmation -- just something that seems logical..
Anyway, hopefully things work themselves out and lower gets lower while higher gets slightly louder =] (maybe add some volume points)

I have heard the original 1.28 version volume levels were substantially higher. I am on 1.29 and they were supposedly reduced on that version. I was looking for a zip somewhere that would just install the 1.28 volume files. I like my music loud and the 1.29 version is not loud enough. When I stream music in my car or to my sound system at home it has plenty of volume because of the amplifiers in those systems.
Nots not the loudness, its the fine control of the volume we'd like to see

Volume steps

Does anyone else notice the volume steps are a bit coarse?
I mean, on the lowest volume setting I disturb others in a quiet room..
Is there a mod for finer tuning on the volume available?
I feel like I'm the only one who thinks there should be a mod for the device especially because of the dual speakers!
Any input appreciated

I think the main problem is the volume level of the notification files are not all the same. It's annoying when you have volume at the first step, but you'll receive a text and not even hear it, but then an email would come through and it's ridiculously loud! 2013 and we still don't have files that are all the same volume levels

I ran into this nuisance as well. The external speaker volume is much too loud for my tastes, even at their lowest setting. Accordingly, I left my alarm volume at its lowest setting to match, figuring it'd be plenty loud enough. Nope! Slept right through it; didn't wake me up once.

[Q] Turn automatic normalize off

I got an HTC One a month ago or so and I love it but an issue is really pissing me off, the music auto normalizes when the music is loud(Lowers the volume by about 30%). This is app independent and it's not done by the beats customization(I have that off). There has to be a way to stop this from happening. If there were an option to keep the volume normalized at all times I would do that, what bothers me is that in the best parts of the songs I like the volume goes down and I hate that inconsistency.

I've never heard this issue on my phone, but I only use spotify. Is this via the HTC Music app? If so maybe rename the htcmusicenhacer.apk in system/app? Not sure If thats what is doing it or thats just a dsp for the htc music apk.
It's on the play music app and power amp for me, but I'm pretty sure it's on all apps. Whenever it's on maximum volume. It happens on certain genres of music, drops and breakdowns are the ones who trigger it the most. I lowered the volume of the pre-amp on power amp and that stopped it, but there is no system wide sound limiter so the issue persists in play music.
next time, please post questions in the questions section
Moved thread.... If you put "[Q]" in the title chances are it does NOT belong in the general section....

Sorry about that, always had used general for all my questions before.
Anyways, in case others had the same problem, I took my phone to sprint and it turned out to be badly calibrated so it was producing much higher sound causing the volume to drop and caused distortion on calls as well. Apparently it's a possible bug with the latest update as I had not modified or installed any sound modifying app. After it was calibrated all the problems stopped. They also lowered the intensity of the haptic feedback, which was nice.
Thanks anyways.
