It's a pretty common fact now that compared to most other smart phones, the Droid Turbo volume just does not get very loud, in fact it's rather quiet. I'm not looking to blow out my ears, but I'd like to be able to comfortably hear who I'm speaking with on the phone (w/o distortion), and having sufficient (it's at least a few notches lower than my previous iphone 5s) volume through the headphones is absolutely essential for me as the music player is the most important part of the phone for me, aside from call/text. How do I increase the volume? I believe it can be found in the build script, but it seems a little more in-depth than other phones. Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you.

My wife called me the other day. She was so loud that I was able to put it on my lap and both me and my daughter could hear her. I didn't even have to use the speaker phone.
Anyone else?
When there is any sort of natural noise from outside or out in the public, it is noticeably quieter than any smartphone I've had, other than the 2013 moto x, so it seems to be a modern Motorola thing. I know this is an easy fix for someone who is informed. Thanks to anyone who can point me in the right direction.
Can anyone help me please?

Nobody has an answer because there is no fix. Root is needed to modify volumes past stock.
Turn off audio effects for headphone. Place speaker grille (not glass) at the middle of your ear when talking. Use custom ringtones for increased volume if the stock ones aren't loud enough.
I personally find it all to be plenty loud.

Prove me wrong then. Modify it without root.

Could it be the call privacy settings?
Phone -> Settings -> Voice Privacy (mine is set to off)
Settings -> Sound -> Audio Effects (should be off)
I personally think that the phone is too quiet as well.. Definitely doesn't pass the shower test. I should be able to hear my phone playing music over the sound of the shower and the bathroom fan at the same time - I can't.
I went through multiple replacements for this issue. Evidently, the new unit I received (assembled 12/15/14) does not exhibit a volume problem. I think there is an issue with many of the units out in the wild, but it is unclear if there will be/can be a software fix without root. For those with defective devices, no amount of settings changes to the stock software seem to work. I would contact Verizon wile you have the opportunity to do so. Keep in mind, however, that you are opening a can of worms. It might take a few replacements to get one with better volume.

Negatory. that is a proprietary setup and adb, well it isn't.
So it is correct that nothing can be done until we achieve root?

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.

The problem is that this warning happens at something like 40% volume which is way too quiet to listen to anything with my headphones in. Would be nice if there was a way to turn off the warning.
By the way this only happens when headphones are plugged in, it lets you raise the volume normally when they are disconnected.
I'm guessing is just an EU thing.
I have that warning too... I'm in the US. The warning itself doesn't bother me, what bothers me is that my headphone volume is noticeably quieter since the update. And it does occur around 40%, I thought everyone was getting this.

It would be okay if the message came in at a volume that was dangerous but at the 40% mark its just too quiet to be usable.
I just threw some albums on to check. Yep I get it, then got it again after a reboot, and again after removing and putting the headphones back in a bit later. God dammit.. I do not need Google holding my hand doing every day mundane tasks.. Why do we live in such a pansy nanny state?

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.

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!

hi guys,
does any of you know the way to decrease the in call volume on HTC One? I do struggle to use the phone as in call volume literally kills my hearing and I have to move handset away from my ear to feel comfortable. On the other hand, in S3 which I was using up until now, in call volume seems to be controlled in much better way.
I have installed and tried various apps from market but no luck. this is perhaps my biggest complaint about HTC One which in general is an excellent device.
...if only the in call volume control was better implemented (iPhone seems to have best implementation and smallest increments)

Yeah it would be pretty cool, the only problem is that my sound is a little tinny, not much just a little, but its fine I only did this so I could actually hear the damn thing ring when its in my pocket haha.

I'm confused now. You're saying that the sound didn't improve significantly? It was a marginal improvement?

The speaker got louder, but the sound quality is a little tinny.

I kind of think I understand. Are you saying that the sound was muffled before and now its less muffled/not muffed anymore because of the mod?
Does the sound, sound distorted at high volume?

There is some sort of mod or app that you can use once rooted to increase the decibels. I can't vouch for how good sound quality will be once increased since I'm not rooted but you can always test it out.

Yes, look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2532788. You can either flash a zip or change the value manualy in Root Explorer. It improves the sound volume for sure, i`am using it myself.
And many custom kernels have this option to increase volume output (like faux or Franco). Pretty useful imo...

That's alright, I don't really use my phone speaker for anything besides my ringtones honestly.
