S5 Volume boost via App - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5

I don't know if anyone else has the same feeling about the volume on the S5 but, I find it a little lacking coming from a rooted Note 2 with Viper audio Mod. Trying different apps I found AIMP Volume Booster running it now for a day I was not bombarded by add or anything and I have noticed a significant increase in volume without distortion or crackling. Don't know if anyone care just throwing it out there to help while we wait for good things to happen.
Here's the link for those who are interested

Not cool. Not cool at all. It doesn't "boost" your volume, it just puts everything to the max, no difference in sound. As for not being bombarded with ads, I get an ad every time I click anything in the app. Maybe you posted the wrong link. But other than that, not cool at all man. Not cool.

Thats odd I pulled the link straight from playstore. Still have not received any adds. And as far as max volume goes ive noticed a difference in my opinion and to my ears. Sorry it didnt work out for you as I did not mean for anyone to experience anything bad just an attempt to help those without root like myself a little something.

I downloaded the app. It seems it just raises the volume to the max, as if you couldn't do that manually. So I agree, it does not boost the volume. Just my 2 cents.

I tried it on a broken beats Rom - Joelz TwoPointThree 3.5.
It flashed, the boot initially took a little longer but I went to try it and no sound. Should I try a different player instead of stock or a different Rom? I was thinking of switching to ICS momentarily because Newts 3.5 has gone broken on me.

Just flashed this on a new flash of the official CM 7.1. I haven't had any trouble with music playing or clipping. Just pure sound. Albeit I did not do a comparison so I cannot say if I hear a difference in quality but I am happy with it and will continue to flash it.
What is really Beats by Dre? Sorry

Can i get a link to the original post? I dont feel like making an account on another site just to get a file.
edit: nm with googles help i found the file, i can confirm it works on miui
Joelz new 3.5 had a broken beats file allowing it to not work. Now I switched to cm7, listened to the music first. Very shotty headphones (ifrogz) as my latest earphones died on me.
The sound was eh.. flashed this beats zip and came back to hear it, the clarity and quality increased so much. Should note there is a tolerable difference when not using headphones as your speaker phone may actually sound like bass. Well at least I can gear it, I will try it on Joelz 3.5 again. Cause there is no notification or anything say it works its difficult to pinpoint if it only works on stock players or various ones.
I am hopefully getting new earphones tonight, JVC Xtreme Explosives is what I'm looking at.

I've been using this mod since I saw it on the portal the other day. (or twitter. I can't remember)
It really does make quite a bit of a difference. For you guys trying it out, use nicer headphones. The difference is marginal on $15 skullcandy buds, but on high end speakers, it's really noticeable. Definitely worth the flash.

Just flashed it, does this add a menu entry/some new setting to the interface or no?
Can anyone confirm this working (and making a difference) with Gingerbread-Inc-Deck?

May i send to my ladies phone, sir? I have tested side by side with same phone using same ROMs (CM7 newest nightly) using 115 by Treyarch (yes the Black Ops zombie song) and quite a noticeable difference. Also not sure, but I had tested started with volume at 50% and my phone with the zip was louder by 2 notches (decreased volume to regulate) and her phone at 100% was to mine at 80%. I do not use DSP manager as I get a weird noise from it after any sound from speaker ends. Anyone else experience similar volume performance?

Solution for improving the sound on the nexus 7 - no root required

For those who think the volume is not loud enough on the nexus 7, download the free app called Music Volume EQ. Open the app and click on the EQ button, this will go to the equalizer screen and you have to set the equalizer to "ON" and move all the 5 bars all the way to the top(move it to +15) and then that is it. You can close the program and keep it running in the background. I have not noticed any battery drop with it. It improves the volume alot. No root required.
How's the actual sound quality? I'm no expert on this, but wouldn't a boost this large start to introduce distortion?

Why don't you try it?
Anyway my investigation reveals that maxing out all volumes does induce a little distortion under bass, though I was listening to dubstep.
At 75% (Stock 50%, max 100%) on the application, volume was significantly improved, and distortion remained minimal.
I would suggest experimenting what works for you best, as not all speakers are made the same.
Strong suggestion OP.
I'm using "volume+ (volume booster) by meltus. It increased my volume by 50% with no distortion.

Sure it does....I'm stock on the N7 and it works perfect. I've been using it since last year when I bought the HTC sensation, if it wasn't for this app the sensation would be unusable. I'm now using it on the GNex as well.

The bs player has it's own volume control that will make the sound much louder.Just swipe up on the right side of the screen while playing a movie to increase the volume louder than the stock controls will allow.

Yeah I meant to say maximize the EQ settings but the stock volume can be altered as needed. But yeah if the stock is maxed as well there will be distortions and won't be good for speeker

Clicking sound when opening apps???

Is anyone else hearing a slight clicking sound shortly after they open an app or click on settings or anything like that? It comes from the top speaker and it doesn't sound normal to me. Is this normal or should I go get my new Htc One checked out?

Oh man. I heard this clicking sound earlier today I thought was the top speaker. it ended up me being a retard. squeezing my little hardshell case and it was lifting up the screen protector the slightest bit and slapping it down repeatedly. it counded like clicking or crackling and I was concerned.

lol, yes it was. After unchecking the weird sound is gone. It just didn't seem like a normal touch tone. There is a delay between the time you click an app and the time you hear a sound. I guess everything is normal now? Im still a little concerned

Controlling Beats setting

Not sure if this is possible but if it is, I don't exactly know how to go about it. I'd like for beats to turn on only when I'm playing sound through the speakers. Not through headphones or through bluetooth. Only speaker. Whether in a phone call or YouTube. I imagine this could maybe be done through Tasker but I don't know how to go about it. Anyone have any ideas?

I'm pretty sure this is not possible. At least not with the stock rom.
Mmm I figured this would be a tough one. If anyone has any ideas, don't hesitate to share

If you download pimpmyrom from the playstore you can install a beats equalizer. It's very similar to dsp manager.

Other HTC roms in the past have had a toggle in the statusbar. Although I found out recently that sound out of the speakers was actually lower with beats on. It did sound deeper but not as loud and it's a pretty noticeable difference. On the other hand it makes headphones louder as you'd expect. I did install the Wildman kernel do I don't know if that has anything to do with it but I didn't turn beats off until after I flashed the kernel.
its possible with Tasker.

Have you done it or know how? I've been trying but am not familiar enough with tasker to figure how to set this up.

Are there any mods to boost phone speaker volume?

I did a lot of searching but all I found were ways to boost the two front facing speakers volume. I have poor hearing and this phone is much quieter than my old one, so unless I constantly use speakerphone I'm always saying "what? Huh?". It's kinda weak...
So are there any mods or apps that can boost the phone speaker up a few notches?
Volume + is an app that can do that but you need to be rooted IIRC

Actually this doesn't seem to work anymore and the dev seems to have quit supporting it.
Any current options? Reading through old forums it seems the HTC One X commonly had the same issue and only roms/kernals or toothbrushes solved it...
Try 'speaker boost' in the play store. I installed it for a friend a month ago so they could hear their talking caller ID more clearly in a loud environment. Seems to work well. Good luck!

You need root it will do exactly what you want to.
