bluetooth volume control?

Just got a nokia BH-211 bluetooth headset, and the sound is *very* low in it (it's unit controlled).. So I was wondering if anyone knows of a app that can boost the sound a bit? The headset is useless outside/at work with the volume gained now..
have you tried increasing the volume on your diamond?

Media Volume too low, App/Hack to increase it?

Hey guys.
So, going from an iPhone to an Incredible, the Incredible's Media Volume is way too low for my liking.
Is there a hack to increase the Media Volume so it's louder or at least as loud as what iPod's/iPhone's can get?
I've tried VolumeBoost but its still a bit too low
dsp manager?
Download poweramp and set equalizer to "phone speaker (loud)". After that you can increase volume further by raising the master volume in the pre-amp. I assume you want this for playing your music through an auxiliary or headphones in either case you must play your media through poweramp to receive the effect.

That would be why the volume has a low governer on it... so you don't blow the onboard speaker.

Xperia T increase headset volume?

Hi I would like to increase the headset volume on my phone it is far to quiet when listening to music in my car via the audio jack, I used to have a galaxy s i9000 and I used the voodoo amp app that turned up the gain from -10 to +2 and it sounded incredible in the car but my Sony outputs at a much lower volume and sounds pants in comparison!
I've tried a lot of volume boost apps in play store and I've tried flashing sound mods like v4a and zeroinfinitys volume boost and superloud but nothing makes any difference at all!
And I'm stuck with a bootloader unlock allowed : no phone so unable to install custom kernels
Any help to turn up the volume in some way would be greatly appreciated......
Thanks in advance
Anybody??
One last attempt for a response lol
This phone will be for sale if I can't sort this volume out or unlock the bootloader I will go back to samsung

Wait for 4.3 update, stock volume is louder.
But have you tried poweramp ? Gain can be increased a lot.
I have had a similar issue. Increasing gain will kill quality. And I don't think you want that. My recommendation is to buy a headset with a higher sensitivity. I always look for something higher than 105db because this stupid phone.
That's good news volume is louder in 4.3! I'm currently using poweramp paid version, I have dvc enabled and I've turned up the pre amp slider on the equaliser a bit but not a lot of difference in the sound have I missed a setting somewhere??
I never use an actual headset I plug the phone into the aux in on my car stereo, I don't know the hardware differences between the 2 phones I have but with the Sony plugged in and all volumes on max it sounds very quiet but if I plug in my old galaxy s running cm7 and voodoo sound if all volumes were maxed speaker damage would almost definitely occur it is sooooo much louder and the quality is still crystal clear in my opinion
This is a problem of too high impedance of your car device for XT, hardware related... You could use a preamp.
But wait for 4.3.

[Q] Louder earphone call volume

The calls volume seems too low for me, especially in noisy environments.
Looks like there are many ways to amplify the external speaker or the headphones output, but no way to increase the earphone calls volume. I've tried Viper4, Extra_Volume_Booster in both flavors, but no improvement. At the best it modifes the internal speaker or the headphones, but no improvement to the earphone volume.
Any possibility to increase the volume of the calls volume in the earphone speaker?
Thank you guys.
SONY Xperia SP 5303, 12.1.A.1.205, rooted
When in call you can make the phone go a bit louder by using the volume keys (it is not much but a bit) also there are some more settings under Settings > Calls/dialer perhaps you can take a look there...
~~ Regards
Thanks mrjraider, but I know that, those are regular features of every phone. Those are all maxed and active.
I was looking for an application or a way to mod the xSP in order to get a louder caller earphone volume.

With an unlocked bootloader and rooted ROM you can use Williams or Doomlords kernel, depending on the ROM you intend to use.
Then install Fauxsound and increase all volumes.
There's really no other option that delivers the same results.
Thanks Gamm!

If you have rooted your phone and found out a way to change the SELinux to permissive (I suggest using this and putting it through terminal emulator), you should use Viper4Android to somewhat amplify the speakers and greatly increase the volume threshold for headphones. Best of luck if you try this.

Hi,
I have already installed Viper4Android, but it does not amplify much the volume, neither in the speaker, neither in headphones, it changes a bit the quality, but it does not raise the volume as I wish...
Thanks anyway for the answer.

Did you try setting the UI to expert and adjusting the playback gain control in the headset settings?

Hey guys.
I'm new to Huawei devices, this is my first, but on my previous phones (LGs and Samsungs) I could edit mixer_paths.xml for an increase of volume. I have root already, but I couldn't find that file or any similar to modify... Can anyone point me in the right direction, please?
A little up, maybe someone comes up with another idea? Still would need help with increasing volume, please
Hello to everybody,
i thought i should share my unsuccessful attempts of getting more headphone volume with the P9 plus with you.
After recognising that it seems there is no software solution at the moment i ordered several different
headsets with a higher sensitivity than my former used.
The headphones i used during the last few years where really cheap ones which should have 95/96 SPL/V.
I informed a little and learned that every 10 SPL/V more gives you the impression of twice as much volume.
Next i bought the KZ ATE wich are stated to have 118 SPL/V and thought: nice i can kill my ears fast now...
I tried them and did not get any improvement at all. In my opinion they don't sound better and they are also not
playing louder. OK, cheap china-in ear, lets try another...
Now i bought the Sennheiser cx 2.00i which are more than three times the price and a well known brand. They are stated to have 119 SPL/V.
What should i say? They are not playing any significant louder.
There are even inears with 125 SPL/V but at the moment i don't think this will change anything.
Do i miss something?
Do you have a solution in the meantime?
best regards,
Henning
SPL has to do with the maximum decibels provided by the headphones, BUT did you look at how many ohms the headphones have? The impedance (measured in ohma) determines the power needed to.. Well, to power those speakers inside your headphones
As fat as I know, most phones can only give a decent enough power to 16 and 32ohm headphones, and not to anything above that...
I miss my LG and Samsung days... It was so easy to just modify the mixer_paths.xml files to get higher volume
