Audio Mod for the Nexus One?

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.

Poor Call Quality

Anyone else here having hissing/crackling in the background on calls with people?
I have checked settings, I'm not roaming, and the phone is stock out of the box.
With the speaker up to highest and 2nd highest setting I can hear hissing and crackling on several calls. People on the other end say they can hear themselves echoing as well.
Tested a Nexus S and iPhone and both don't have the problem.
Wondering if its just a bad device or issue with the quality of the speaker in the phone(which HTC is known for)

To be more specific, the dead air(in between conversation) sounds hissy/crackling.
I can also hear myself in the earpiece when I talk.
Tried same SIM on nexus s and iphone 4(no problems)

erhm.... LOL?
idk where ur livin or what kinda of provider ur using, but im like 100% sure no one in holland or surrounded (since i dont know the state of other country's have this problem)
so no...

Thank you for that informative reply....

Hi! I wrote it before, because i have the same problem in Hungary... People say they dont understand what iam saying... Echoing everytime.. i try it with another sim it wasnt better...
What can we do whit it??? Iam very angry about it!

your very welcome, and most likely its your provider not the phone, forgot to finish my sentence sometimes im busy and forget to add the rest of what i wanted to say.

Turns out, if the volume is turned up anything beyond 50% of the volume rocker, the sound distorts and can hear very low crackling.
With setting 50% and below crackling is not there.
Maybe a blown speaker? Can anyone test this out on their IS so I know whether to swap it out or not.
Thanks

With the higher volume than 70%, i can hear a little crackilng... So, same problem!

Same problem here, but not with all people (60 % problems ; 40 % - OK.), just with some of them (Nokia users in special)

Eco (is heard by the person that I am talking to)

Waiting for new feedback about crackling problem...

Just bought one of these and made first phone call. I always have earpiece volume on full on every phone I have and I could definitely hear a faint but noticeable buzz / distortion from earpiece when other person spoke.
Oh well I've got 7 days to find a fix or it goes back. I wonder if these are faulty units or all incredible s devices do this.
Can owners who don't have this problem at all chime in ?

Loud Speaker hack please anyone?

Hello does anybody know or have a hack to make the speaker louder? I hate to say it but its not as loud especially on the phone call.
Also i already exchanged it for a new phone and pretty much same. Its not mind blowing loud like people say ,,that's hype.
Seriously anyone here may know of a way to update some files to make this ***** louder? My galaxy note 2 have that hack and BOY ITS FREAKING AWESOME MIND BLOWINGLY LOUD LOL
please help

It's pretty loud and it much clearer with bests audio enabled. Sorry to say your deaf and you don't make threads for requests

K c'mon man o I'm deaf now come on man take a look around on Google I'm not the only one that having this problem I've been googling for this phone like I said its loud but its not mind boggling or mind blowingly loud

Please ask these questions in the Q&A section.
the speakers are already pretty darn loud. not really much left to do with them.

I would have to agree that they aren't as loud as I though they'd be. I compared it to an Iphone 4s and it's marginally louder... Now the sound quality on the other hand is much richer than any other phone speaker I've ever heard.
A speaker hack would be awesome, as long as it doesn't reduce the sound quality.

Sorry, have to agree with post that says phone is loud enough.
If you feel it's volume is insufficent then either
1) your volume is turned down
2) your device is faulty
3) possible hearing impairment

I don't wish to get into a slanging match with you, or anyone else. I did consider if my response was wise, and hoped that it wouldn't have elicited the response that it did. You obviously have a very different opinion of loud. I did wonder if I was mistaken and you weren't referring to the HTC One . I haven't been influenced in my opinion by anything I read anywhere, my opinion is based solely on listening to my HTC One through its speakers at various volume settings with music and videos.

You telling me you think you tube video is loud on htc one? Dude you're crazy. You must of seriously doing it in library lol

@OP
There's a sony xloud hack scattered in the xda forums. Once you port it on HTC One it should increase the loudness by multiple levels. Take for example my old 2011 HTC Phone. Just 1 level from the lowest setting could make it already sound loud enough for people to hear it clearly within 3 meters.
Whilst when disabled you can't even hear anything unless you put the speaker in your ear and you'll hear only a tiny sound.

So how do we get it to
work..
?

I don't understand why everybody is bagging on this guy cause I made my first phone call with the phone and I was definitely surprised at how NOT LOUD the volume was. I even tried turning it up... definitely was a little inadequate for my taste. I mean I haven't said much said that was only one call and one call only but I seriously would have preferred the volume to have been louder personally.

the speakerphone during the call definitely way too low

The speaker volume in calls is a little too low, I will give you that, but then we are not trying to use the speaker phone in a crowded room or trying to let every single person on a crowded train hear your conversation.
As for youtube and the music app, I have yet to hear a phone best the volume or quality of the HTC One speakers. Iphone ? HAHAHA please don't make me laugh so much i'll bust a gut!
As for Note 2 volume, sure, it might be loud, but for crying out loud, that phone is HUGE!

I think it is safe to say dude you're a htc one fanboy

My take on the Nexus 5 issues/defects/problems...

In regards to all the Nexus 5 chatter going on i thought i would share my thoughts and findings.
Button rattle/click sound-
During production they need to leave cutouts for the power/volume buttons, if too tight, the phones frame wont fit, if too loose, buttons move (my buttons move, ever so slightly, and that's cause I move them). My Nexus 4 buttons make a click sound too (not as loud as the nexus 5), maybe its the ceramic material. Not sure if i should RMA the device over something like buttons (then again i have 1 year to make up my mind)
Screen-
Some ppl say they have yellow tinge to screen, i cant speak for this, mine seems fine, however, one thing i have noticed. The status bar icons do not stay white all the time. While on the home screen they are white, when entering an app like the dialer, they turn off-white (maybe a really light grey). Maybe some users can confirm if its supposed to be like this. If screen yellow, def RMA it!
Speaker-
Ok, this is a big one for alote of users- Mine is pretty much the same as my nexus 4 while on call (much of a muchness really, could just be a matter of perception) BUT, on things like Youtube app etc IT IS softer than my nexus 4. (however my nexus 4 is running Matrix Kernel, and when tweaking the Speaker output in Trickster MOD, i can get that thing as loud or soft as i want) Maybe Google can fix this with a software update on the nexus 5, i don't know.
Mic/hissing in video recording-
This is a big one too- When recording video, there is a slight or big hissing sound in the background (even in quite scenarios),. Sounds like the microphone gain is set too high/sensitive, who knows. Tested it on my nexus 4 (as above) increased the gain, and got the same hissing sound as on my nexus 5. I know this is not the Q&A section, but could this all be fixed with an update? If memory serves, nexus 4 had very similar issues when it came out, with mic/speaker etc.
Call quality-
Much of a muchness with my nexus 4 and 5.
Vibration-
"you can hear it" or "its loud" what?, i did not like the vibration strength in the nexus 4, too weak, nexus 5 is stronger good for me- its all a matter of opinion. :laugh:
Maybe i cant remember what my nexus 4 was like when it came out of factory- its def better with custom ROM/kernel/apps- but users who are not tech savvy should have this sort of stuff addressed in the nexus 5.
Maybe some of this is just a matter of perception....
PS-This is just my take/opinion, may not be valid for everyone, but just though i would share it with the community.
PPS- from what i have been reading RMA devices still have the same issue(s), regardless if its 310K or 311K- My Nexus 5 is 310K.

ROFL... wth

[Q] I'm new to rooting and all that, but can I make the Z3 Compact louder?

I just got the phone a couple days ago, and am definitely in love with it. I like the stock Walkman app for my music, but I was wondering if there was a way to make it a little louder? I'm new to rooting and changing anything like this, so a step-by-step would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

Theoretically no. Even if someone put together a mod, to increase the loudness, the sound will be distorted heavily, as it's already at it's maximum.
