[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

do you have to run it ever time you restart the phone?

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

sounds good i will try it

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

Finding reasons for reboots

Hi,
Im just curious how to track down the reason for reboots with stock ROM and stock kernel, not rooted. I had one random reboot yesterday (when watching trailers in the IMDB app) after almost a week I own N7. I know that one reboot in a week is nothing, but its my new toy and Id like to know how to track down the reason for that in case it happens again.
I found out some threads about this and generally it says I should use LogCat - but I dont know how to use it. So I please ask for help! For now, I started Stability Test (CPU+GPU) and wait ...
Happy New Year, Y'all !!!
EDIT: Ghardashyan a bit lower mentioned hes been having reboots when watching youtube videos. Anybody else having this kind of behavior? Also, I had my reboot when watching trailers in the IMDB app - its playing via youtube, right?

The ONLY reboot I have ever seen, is when the default lockscreen widget gets updated by the marketplace. It's guaranteed to reboot on 4.2. It does it every time on both my Nexus 4 and my Nexus 7.
You will only ever see it, if you remove the default android 4.2 lockscreen time widget and put something else there from the marketplace, and only when that widget gets a marketplace file update.
Perhaps you are seeing this? Do you have auto-update apps enabled???

I dont have auto-update enabled. I added another time/weather widget to the lockscreen but I dont think it got updated yesterday ... I will remove it and hope it wont reboot again. I sure think it was some app as the stability test goes for 2 hours without problem.

Its to do with location based services, HD Widgets is a major culprit and stated they were talking to Google to try and resolve the issue, it is also as stated before mainly because of the new lockscreen widgets, which HD Widgets also provide, so the stock widget could also cause the same issue?
Mine have pretty much stopped with the last update of HD Widgets, but it does still occur.

Just for your information, I dont use HD Widgets

Since you're on stock rom and kernel, I think the best way would be to reset your device and keep track of what applications are installed, one at a time.
My guess is that one of the installed apps are causing it..

I know that, but as it was one reboot only in less than a week, it could take months to track the app down ... :laugh: Im about to restart the device myself and then use alogrec to continually record stuff.
EDIT: Alogrec is not recording a thing, so I rooted my phone. In case of restart, I believe it should be enough to save last_kmsg. Am I right?

Correlation does not equal causation and it seems some are eager to go barking up the wrong tree. As has been stated here, as well as confirmed by Google, it is a bug at the OS level. It has nothing to do, per say, with HD Widgets, YouTube, or any individual app. It affects all products running 4.2 and 4.2.1.
Until Google fixes the issue, there are only two guaranteed workarounds- disable location services or downgrade to 4.1.2.

Settings › Location. Bear in mind that the tradeoff is that, among other things, Google Now will no longer be functional.
For me, the reboots haven't been annoying enough to warrant disabling it on mine just yet.

Great, thanks. :good: I disabled that for now and will turn it on only when I need navigation. I dont use Google Now anyway.
BTW, when Google finds a solution for this, should I expect a full system upgrade?

Just experienced my first random reboot while streaming a flash video on Firefox Beta..

Random reboots are annoying me as well with my stock unrooted n7
Mostly though its during wifi/network activity not just in one app, have had reboots while in youtube, ebay, chrome etc. I have also seen it reboot while in standby
All started from 4.2
Would be interested to know if these reboots are reported back to google?

Did you notice the whatsapp bug ??

Did you notice the whatsapp bug on nokia lumia phones ??
http://www.hackinthus.com/2013/01/windows-phone-whatsapp-bug_26.html

Yes, happens the same with me. Also, I'm unable to share screenshots via whatsapp.

Apparently it is due to WhatApp using a music streaming agent to keep the wifi connected when the screen turns off, this allows messages to come in when you have no data connection. This is what causes the bug with the music player.
It is really annoying and hopefully they should remove it now that the portico update allows users to force wifi to stay connected while the screen is off.

Yes its really annoying !! Is Microsoft or whatsapp even aware of this bug ??
I don't think so but its a real serious issuw which they should fix fast !!

It is not a bug and it has been there for months! Before even wp8 came out

Download Stop the Music app, or just play some music.
It is really annoying though, and WhatsApp has promised an update a long time ago.
Hopefully the update can bring the app partially close to what it's like on other platforms.

Whatsapp is full of bugs and flaws and i've already sent them about everything.
here's what bothers me:
- Can't send screen snapshot
- Can't send a broadcast
- When I want to forward a message, i have to search all over the contacts from the start (no recents chats)
- Can't open personal pictures.
- Can't set different ringtone for single contacts and groups.
- Can't creat a notification shortcut on lockscreen.
- Wuld be great if i can maximize the live tile so i can read the message without opening the app or just to know who's the sender.
- I can't send the videos I shoot.
- if the message is too long, the last part of it is unreadable because it's out of the bubble (black font with black background)
but everything else is good

Ha ha, , everything else is fine !!

I'm slowly starting to think WhatsApp is abandoning WP8 or so? There is no news nor updates on the ton of bugs WA for WP has, the last tweet from them from mid January stated we would see something in the upcoming weeks... Still nothing yet while the iOS and Android versions are in full swing.
WP is such a great platform, Whatsapp seems to ignore it. Shame on them :crying:

is not a bug. They use music api in order to be in background and do not miss notifications. This is more part of microsoft. Facebook for example do not use music api for notifications but those are way so bad, whats app in other hand works better. This will be fixed when Microsoft fix it.

Line wechat without the music API are working ok with notifications.. Whatsapp is using the music API just to keep the WiFi alive. With portico update the music API hack is not need it. Its whatsapp fault.. Don't blame Microsoft

[Q] low notifications volume

i don't know where to put this question, i hope this is the right place
situation is like this, when i got sms, or any kind of notification, my notification ringtone is not in the level i set it in settings
in settings volume for notifications is bumped to max, but when i get something, ringtone is in like half of the volume, while ringtones for calls are normal and loud, and have no lower volume from what i set it to in settings
is there some fix for that or is that bug in all 4.3 based roms, it's quite annoying when i get an sms but can't hear phone if i left it in another room or few feet from me when watching tv, i had that situation with stock cm kernels and custom ones
i am using vanir rom 4.3 now , and used before that slimbeam 4.3, cm 10.2 nightly, and cm 10.2 arararagi customised, on all of them notification volume is lover

as far as I'm aware it writes to the system and then reboots, so if you uninstall after it'll just remove the app which then just acts like a headset notification app (little beats symbol appears when plugged in)
so if you don't want that removing should be fine. but obviously every time you update the rom you need to re install regardless

If you're experiencing random lag and stutters ...

I don't know if it's been mentioned before but I was having annoying lag and stutters , I still am but it's gotten better , for me it was the Google music widget that I had on one of my homescreens ( I only have 3 homescreens in case you ask) , if you have it try getting rid of it and also deactivate the chrome option to have the chrome tabs shown on "recent apps /task switcher " also try to keep your recent tabs with the less amount of cards possible , I know that the fact that they're there doesn't mean they're opened , maybe it's a placebo effect but it feels like some those apps in there are really running in the background even when they're not supposed to do so, sometimes I used the app days ago and it is in the back of the "cards " and it still is running , they're called "recent apps" not opened apps ...
Google music with material design is really laggy ! I will get rid of it completely but its proving to be quite hard since I really enjoy having my music one click away on the cloud .
Chrome still has its "jank " and chopping scrolling sometimes but there's not much we can do .
I don't really understand the lag , it really it's random , sometimes I'm heavy multitasking and I have no issues and sometimes I'm just using chrome and twitter and it lags like crazy , or it just lags while scrolling on the home screen (google now stock launcher )
Have you had any of these issues ?

It think you're mixing things up with iOS here. In Android apps are suposed to continue running in the background. It's on iOS where apps in the background are paused and which features no real multitasking.

I'm using Uber kernel and don't have any lags.

And listening to music for an hour drains 4-6 percent of battery... I thought music was supposed to be lower power...
Anyhow, the only lag I see in that app is when I open it and hit the menu and then my library and scroll over. I'll have a slight second of stutter once I get inside and scroll down my list but other than that it seems smooth for me. Battery leaves less than be desired.

There will always be a slight lag here and there. I too experience lag when open Play Music. Sometimes there's no lag, sometimes there's a slight pause or delay in opening.

I have these kinds of stutters and lags about once a week and that's the time I reboot my phone to flash the latest build of my rom.
There are a lot of memory leaks in lollipop or at least there are in the ROM which I'm using (AICP). System App ram consumption shoots up to 1.4 GB and there's immense lag.
I've started to ignore it since a simple reboot fixes it.

Lol... I was hopping a fix for a stuttering in notification drawer pull....
I didn't expect this :laugh:

I had also serious lags, however, I updated yesterday to GooglePlayServices 6.5.99 (-438) and so far the lag is gone.
Maybe worth a try?

On the Issue Tracker at
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=79729
someone today mentioned that same fix and provide a link to the APK. But the post with the link was removed from the issue tracker.
I currently have Play Services 6.5.87 (1599771-438)
When I search the Play Store with Chrome the update shows up
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms&hl=en
(the update is dated Dec 12, 2014)
However the update does not show up using the Play Store app on the N5 device.
The Google Play website says the update is compatible with all my devices. But on the device list to install the update, my N5 is greyed out and I can only highlight my Android tablet.
Why is Google not allowing me to install the Play Services update on the N5 when I have the previous version?
Or maybe the update is not ready for the N5, just like Android 5.0.1 is not ready?
But how are other folks installing the Play Services update? Link anyone so I can sideload?
