Music volume steps - RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I am using Omar's custom ROM. I have used android for a couple of years and have always been frustrated at the small number of volume steps. On my last device (Huawei g300), I tried to follow a guide from xda to increase the number of steps but didn't have much luck getting it to work.
Is there any way to do this? Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.

Tried to mod framework.jar but got FC's on music apps, so no idea from me, sorry.

I think that is what I have tried before but had no luck. Thanks for trying though.
Does anyone know of any apps that can do similar? I used to use an app called "fine volume control" but it only adjusted volume by touching the screen. I really want a better way of adjusting the volume with the hardware keys.
Thanks

Well, I don't really know where the problem is, but I think there is somewhere an error because of const/4 - when you put for example "1et" in the array, that is a const/16 number. Maybe this is the problem for just increasing the steps in that array?
Looked through the code but I didn't find a hint until now, sorry
I know from Samsung, that increasing the steps in the array resulted in strange behaviour. You got more steps, but after 15 the volume got quiet again and around above 28 nothing changed anymore...
Fine Volume Control is the only app I know, we are both at the same knowledge
[edit]
At least you can change "ro.config.vc_call_vol_steps" in build.prop to 15 - but that's not what you want, I know...

Hi,
For anyone else who is interested in increasing the number of volume steps, you can now do this on the razr i using the xposed framework 2.3 beta

[APP] Volume+ - Ringing tone too soft? Get this!

Hi all,
I have been always been using ways and means to turn up the volume on my DHD until I came across this app which will really TURN IT UP!.
Highly recommended to those who finds that their ringtone and notification abit too soft. App is now free at the author website but is paid app at the market. So grab them while it is still free! heheh
Note: Only for gingerbread ROM.

Thanks, gotta give it a try.
Works!
Been using this for about 2 weeks and yes it definitely works. When you move ROMs and loose the app its immediately obvious what a difference it makes.
quality!!!! cheers!
I can't install it via CWM 3.x.x.x. on LeeDroid V.3.0.1GB..it say "Installation aborted"..any ideas??
Edit^ my fail, must rename *.zip to *.apk

Noooooo. Do your setup and forget about it. Best to stay away from max volume just in case.

How to decrease bass level (it's only +0db in settings, but no "-db")????
It's not working with RCmix 6.1.0.1
I am using DSP Manager and put the treble fields to maximum to boost the ringtones, now I can hear them lol
But I think the speaker can handle an extra boost before distortions
ARHD 5.1 with MDJ's Gingerbread V10 kernel works well, makes a difference for sure.
Thanks man, it really works
thank you it is working in my desire hd
Only partial luck here - Running CyanogenMod 7.0.3
The app itself works just fine, and clearly boosts the speaker volume for all applications - except the one I want - the ringer. When comparing the ringtone selected in settings to the actual ringtone when the phone is ringing, the ringtone itself is noticeably quieter than the boosted sound.
I got around this relatively easily, though. All my ringtones are mp3s managed with ringdroid. I transferred the mp3s to the computer, used the freeware program audacity to increase them to the same gain level as the volume app would boost them too, and then set them up as normal. The result is that they're all normalised and effective, and the volume app itself still boosts the sound for everything else.
Very useful! Needed this. Thanks

Boosting Call Volume

Hello, Can someone suggest me some tweak, app to increase call volume. I have to press my ears real hard to the phone to hear folks clearly. I am traveling next week, and wanna make sure I can hear my folks ( vice versa too )
using CM9 with [email protected] # 1 Kernel
checkout either glitch kernel or semaphore kernel. Both have "voodoo sound" implemented which includes a boost in call volume.

tx, so I got semaphone, downloaded voodoo sound..just confused as to what should I set to increase sound? not speakerphone but from earpiece
Well the headphone amplifier setting pushes the speaker over it's stock limit. But I believe the call volume tweak is pre-built into the kernel. If you have a root file explorer, go to etc/init.d/ and there should be a call volume tweak in there.

You're correct. /system/ect/init.d/callvolumehack or something like that. And open and read the info and edit to boost it.

/system/ect/init.d/90call_vol to be exact.
Use root explorer to edit the file, I change all values to 2 and it works good, not too loud, lol, lines in the file to change are:
INCALL_BOOST_EARPIECE=0
INCALL_BOOST_BLUETOOTH=0
INCALL_BOOST_SPEAKER=1
INCALL_BOOST_HEADPHONE=0
Change 0,0,1,0 to 2,2,2,2 then save file and reboot, calls should be nice and loud(er).
Has anyone tried changing values to 3? LOL
Thank you for correcting me. And some people do use 3, they still have a hard time hearing.

you could try new devil kernel! Volume hack is just released in it! And much more!
Could you provide a link to the latest devils kernel? Also doesn't call quality depend on the modem that you are using?

About half way down this page. Make sure you read all of first three posts to get all advantages of this kernel. It is amazing! In regards to modem, call quality yes, but volume no.

Try Samsung service mode
Dial *#*#197328640#*#* press debug the audio and increase value.
What are you looking at shortbus......
Volume tweak sorta works with Semaphore. Here's how - increase volume to 3 in init.d. Then open Voodoo Control and set to +5db. I had to set Voodoo volume to +2db to avoid speaker crackling.
I use volume + which works well. It has a setting to up in call volume, boost speaker volumes, and headset volume. You can download it from the marketplace or you can download the pro version. Hope it helps

[Q] HTC Sensation XL - How to wake up screen with volume buttons

Hi, does anybody know wich app can I use to wake up screen with voulme buttons on my Sensation XL?
I don't want to root it..
Thanks
Only custom roms had it. Its no way to make it without root.

After a few quick searches found these:
Code:

and
Code:
[URL="http://forums.androidcentral.com/google-galaxy-nexus/189109-enable-volume-rockers-buttons-wake-phone.html"]A forum post about galaxy nexus[/URL] (don't use this unless you're certain it will work with your phone as its made for a different phone, wait for one of the devs to comment about it)
he wrote : I don't want to root it..
both needs root permission.
before that wakeup no matter if it is an app or what it needs to edit some system files , and if you are not rooted it aint gonna happens

[Q] Any tweaks for skipping tracks with the volume keys?

I'd rather not use the double tap apps in the Play Store, they don't seem to work. I really miss this feature from AOSP roms.
I'm looking for a tweak like this also. I've read an article and it said "many" ROMs have this feature, only reason I wanted to root and flash this thing, but is this not the case anymore?

i know custom sense roms have volume skip and pause
all custom roms or certain ones? Is it a mod? Or built into the rom? Where's the option for it?
I'm asking because I flashed a custom sense rom already (trickdroid) and have no idea how to turn this on.
I think it's on by default as long as screen is off long press vol up skips forward and long press vol down for play/pause

you can install this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1629653
you need root tho
renovate rom has it included
So no chance for volume track control with no root/custom ROM?
All you have to do is use the old HTC headphones which had a track next/previous button as well as the connect/disconnect button. I used my old headphones from my Desire HD and it works grand. I think you can still get the headphones from various sites on the internet.
You can use the headset you got with the phone and use a app that recognize how many press. Like 2 for next track 3 for previous etc

It doesnt work on ONE
No button apps work for now with the One ... also modding for it to work causes Wakelocks and battery drain ... its not a perfect solution
I have written about this to HTC so many times that I almost was about to abuse them in last email .. Its just plain out ridiculous ... if you are selling this as a media powerhouse, this is one of the basic functions alongwith volume keys on the headset !

nothing. it's really annoying and if you're watching YouTube or listening to music it screws everything up. go back to cm10.1 is the best option

i tested something and worked a bit. when i set cpu usage at max and perfomance governor, the notification sound latency is almost zero. But this drains battery of course and is not considered a solution. its really annoying.

how about reinstallin the cm
has anyone found a solution for this issue yet??
The important question here is... "Why does this happen?"
I mean, is the issue so serious that no one has been able to pinpoint the cause and code a resolution? It seems strange that the problem is barely mentioned and has not been attempted to be fixed.
Facebook and sms have it whats app doesnt that much i can tell you.I think it have aomething t do with vibration and sound when they are set both.Will test and report.

also, i noticed only certain apps are causing the notification delay. the system(unplug/plug in charger0, facebook. while some others worked fine(whatsapp doesn't cause any delay, at all). we should list down all the events and apps that causes the delay together with a logcat if possible to track down the real problem.
Also i noticed that sometimes sound behave like i set it to ascedin ringtone...Dont know why but it behave tht way.BTW anyone know how to improve sound loudness in SlimBean ? I am not deff but ringtone sound is too quite for me even on max volume.

Has anyone tried using viper fx?
I use that sound mod and never had this issue, if notification arrives while using phone it doesn't play any sound
(which imho is better than delayed sound etc)
Don't use xhifi which has big compatibility issues try just viperFx and see if that works for you
Yep that happends to me also.If i am using phne notifications dont have sound.Can i download viperFx from googleplay and install or not ?
