I have the D415 and it's not rooted. I'm trying to increase the earpiece/call volume. I already know how to enter the secret menu but after that, I have no idea where to go. I found some audio tests but that's not what I'm looking for.
Is it possible to increase the volume without rooting through the secret menu? the incall volume is way too low for me. Maybe some other suggestion or settings to change.
Thanks for any help
Can't be done through the secret menu. Maybe there's an app, but I wouldn't know of one/:
Viper audio. Its usually for better sound quality but one of the settings for the phone speaker upps the max volume. Try that. Note. With viper installed it will drain your phone a tad faster.

Ok, I hope someone who is experienced in these things can help. Since the Milestone 1 (Droid 1) was the loudest device I ever had, and the Milestone 2 and Droid 3 have a very low volume I was searching for months now, how to finally raise the volume beyond 100%.
Ok, I installed Alsa Mixer from the market, so I got alsa_amixer, and alsa_ctl.
I found out, that STDac was the value to modify (between 0 and 15) to really, physically control the speaker volume.
The best setting for me was: alsa_amixer set "STDac" 13
It works great BUT (!) although I save these settings with "alsa_ctl store" and prove that it was stored by restoring the settings "alsa_ctl restore", Motorla's firmware is RESETTING their own settings back after music playback is paused.
Can anyone help me find out WHERE these settings are and how I can permanently set a higher volume level?
THANKS in advance, I really hope that someone can help me.
When you get this figured out definitely post it. This is a annoying problem how quiet the phones are

Just use poweramp. It's one of the best players out there anyway
I doubt it's just music playing that causes the lowered volume, and finding where moto sets it's default volume could help those on CM7 who suffer from randomly inaudible alerts/ringtones too.
So far that CM7 issue has been blamed on bluetooth, but even with all BT packages and kernel modules uninstalled/disabled, it still happens.
A better understanding of motos volume voodoo would really help in tracing a lot of weird volume events on these phones.

I won't thanks . It's not about equalizer, it's about getting the speaker louder than 100% (btw. it's maxed at 75%!).

I'm not talking about equalizer. You can increase the volume with poweramp above 100%

When does the reset occur? Is it on reboot and/or could be managed with a script once at boot or something? Not a solution but maybe there's an easy work-around to use our values for volume.
As soon as audio playback stops, the volume level is beeing resetted. "alsa_ctl restore" brings back the custom volume level..
what about volume + ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.TEST.android.lvh)

Thanks. I tried it before but this app does not really make the speaker louder.
Volume + works great on my droid 3. Really loud now.

Problem is if its built from moto source or built up from a stripped moto release chances are it contains whatever script or code is causing the volume to be reset. Is it the same on ics? Any check the volume levels on reboot with alsa_mixer on ics by any chance? Since no official moto ics release is around there are better odds that the code isnt in hash' releases i would imagine. Odd that its being executed every time playback stops
@daimerion NO it's NOT louder, I just tried it the second time, with no refund... The volume level is still limited. Please try Alsa Mixer and set STDac to 13, THEN you will see what I mean!
But its not permanent, and thats why I am looking for a solution. Everyone, please try Alsa Mixer, set STDac value to 13 (max: 15).
The app works just as u described it seems to survive reboots so far I've had to reset it twice cabt tell what makes it switch back but thanks for the heads io on the app nonetheless

Ok now it won't stick for nothing. Resets every chance it can get. I really hope somebody with actual experience looks into this and can get a fix cause having a phone with the volume stuck at 75% kinda blows

Try using log at then using also mixer and see if it says what resets it?

Thanks, already tried that, but I found nothing. Months ago I was reading a post, that Motorola modified ALSA so that the could make HDMI working. I don't know (because I'm not experienced enough) if this could be the reason...
Are there no source files for the Droid 3, so that someone can compile a modified version of libaudio?
Its not a moto things. Its android. Im using aokp ics and its still going back from 15 to 11. I dont think its the system. A toast message popped up saying alsa has been granted superuser and then it went back to 11

Thanks for this clarification. I'm not a developer unfortunately. Really, there has to be a developer out there, who can do that. I'd even donate for that. It's really important for me, as my ears are not the best.
I am wondering if anyone knows of an app or a mod now that I have rooted my xperia T, that will allow me to control all the different volumes as one.
I find having sepperate volumes for everything more of a hinderance than a help, Id be quite happy to go back to the days of my old Nokia 3310 where I had a single volume switch for everything.
Also if this is possible I would also like to make the phone lock all volumes to max when a bluetooth audio connection is made, I have managed to do this with volume control+, but havnt found a way of controlling all the volumes at the same time with that app.
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give

So i have been googling for hours trying to find a way to boost the volume on my s3 mini but so far no luck, i'm starting to think it's impossible but thinking this is a android phone there must be a way. Has anyone successfully managed to boost volume on your device?

Exactly what I was/am and will continue to search for until I find it I recently installed Viper4android for clearer audio, but I noticed that it also boosts the volume a bit (I think). Try it out. If it doesn't boost the volume, well, you're gonna have a better sounding phone, at least

There's a video player that can boost your volume while using it (VM Player i think), so it should be possible
try this work very good on my s3 Poweramp

Yeah V4A is a brilliant piece of software. It does boost the volume slightly making it more clearer and brighter but i'm still left wanting more. This is really annoying and i can't understand why google/samsung would do such a thing removing the ability to use the product just the way you want. I guess it's result of the bloody EU Volume limit that is beyond stupid imo.

Poweramp = best music player ever
You can also try setting PowerAmp to Phone Speaker (Loud) equalizer and enabling V4A. That way you'll get clearer, but at the same time louder volume.

Dear Whiz91
Use Volume+ 1.9.0.5 on rooted phone. It's improve the volume highly.
In Cyanogenmod (and it's goes the same for any custom rom I guess) you have that volume limit removed, you get just a warning when you pull the volume beyond that limit. Anyways, I found useful to boost the whole equalizer spectrum to +6db on a custom profile to enhance the volume.

I tried that and it only turns the volume down, guess it's the volume limit on my stock phone.

I used to run Maclaws CM 11 but that is just too buggy, but i have come to understand that 10.2 is fairly stable so i will try that rom
Tried CM and Volume+. CM does NOT remove the volume limit and Volume+ just makes the sound quality into a muddy mess and not really louder. It seems like the battle is lost. ****ing EU rules and regulations...
Still +1ing V4A and PowerAmp

I got a lot of good suggestions in my weather app app post.
Let's hear your thought on Volume apps ... ones that work well with Lollipop ... have new material design.
Thanks for your input
Not sure what volume app means. For better sound viper4android is the bomb. Havnt had it work right yet for this phone but I've seen other who have.

I have used viper prior for the nice boost.
What I need is app for controlling All the Volume levels as built in sound controls always leave something to be desired.
I've always used AudioManager, it continues to serve me well on lollipop. I mostly use it for volume profiles.
I really want something for the volume via Bluetooth. it's really low I can't stand it anymore
I remember an app named volume+ that worked well to higher the volume of the phone but not sure if it still works. I hope they come up with a flashable zip to boost the volume. My headphone volume is really low.
