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.

Hi All. Long time follower on XDA for the G1 (9 months after the G1 debut) but first time posting. I just recently did the 2708+hboot hack for the 14mb to flash and test the lastest ROMs. I've tried everything that is currently available for download on XDA development and found that Laszlo 5.2 to be the smoothest and fastest (just as fast as Super CSDI).
I read through the entire post to see if anyone has experienced the same thing as I did, but no one really did. This ROM is amazing and everything is working great, but one thing. My question is--The Audible selection and screen lock sound do not work. One person ask about the screen lock sound not working, but no one answered. Is anyone else getting this problem besides me and is there a fix. I flash it several times and on 3 different G1s and get the same results. Maybe the download of the ROM I'm flashing is slightly corrupt. Any thoughts??? Thanks everyone for all your help through these years keeping the G1 alive and still amazing.

im not sure exactly what it is your talking about but i know besides what your saying i have no complaints about this rom... buuuuuuut it is getting old and hasn't had an update since i remember.. so im sure **** will be hitting the fan soon... all we can do is hope a better rom comes out or hope somebody has the balls to try messing with lazlo rom to improve on its minor bugs and issues
wish i could help you more but i have no idea what that is haha

im not using that rom at the moment but as far as i know the sounds were working.. is he using a kernel with it? maybe its messing with it..
Don't know what you mean by "Audible selection", but I would guess for the lock/unlock sound you need to install the audio from addons (since it contains the file). Type "addons" in terminal and follow the on-screen prompts.

Hi Adam, your the Man!
Thank you so much. Your suggestion fixed it. I was playing with Super Aosp 6.0 when you made the suggestion and I was very hesitant to flash again to find out that it might do nothing. But the speed of Laszlo was just to good to not find out, so I did and I'm glad I did.
I'm surprised that hardly anyone knew what I was talking about. So to clarify, if you go into Setting>Sound and then scoll down a bit you will see Audible selection and Screen lock sound options. The Audible selection is when it makes a 'Click' type sound when you select something. That extra audible feedback is very helpful.
I was going to just put up with Laszlo 5.2 even without sound if I had too, but I'm glad I don't.
Now I can finally stay with this for awhile to see if it is stable as well as fast.
Thanks again.

Hi, I got this update this week, but it seems to make the UI much uglier and harder to use. Also it feels a bit buggy, the Walkman was randomly playing and pausing on headphones or speaker.
Is it just me?
I'm on UK Generik .290 and still waiting for KK update.... Anybody have the update already?
Sent from my C6903 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
We know that the KK 4.4 is not so great, users facing many bugs. I didn't update to 4.4 just because of bad reviews.
Make sure you hard reset and wipe the data clean. Usually a upgrade of a software version is recommended to do that.
I haven't had the music player malfunction.

Well the idea of new statusbar kinda sucks because previous was much more comfortable, additionally I experience major camera lag for example when switching front camera to back and vice versa, also phone lags after taking picture and while switching to video. I also experience Force Closes. Touch became less sensitive but as for camera quality I must say that 8MP mode now take great pics even in low light +1.
Excuse my words but after using cyanogenmod and then this... 681 feels like **** more like a broken firmware i flashed cm11 again it is the real KK

That's your Opinion.
Oh, I see. So everyone is having some sort of issue with this update... I hope they fix it, although I fear this is what we'll be stuck with for a long time, unless you go custom.
I've been having problems with the ringtone/notification volumes. This morning the volume was so low, I could barely hear it. Also, there is an irritating 'click' just when there is a notification.
Appears that the official Sony forum is flooded with complaints; it seems that sometimes it rings through the earpiece! I sure hope I'm not stuck with this for a long time. I wish I hadn't upgraded.
Is there any way to revert to the previous update? Or at last change the top toolbar menu back or at least change it? I don't know the term for it...
This upgrade has been the worst for Xperia Z1.*. Problems with sound notifications, overheating of the battery, rapid battery consumption, etc, etc, etc ...
I hope that Sony will soon solve these problems.
Greetings,
Before i flash back the 4.3 which at my opinion is the BEST firmware for Z1 right now , i played with official KK one week and i noticed that the battery life wasnt so great anymore , i had some random overheating problems , the new notification UI its terrible , i had the problem with the sound coming from the ear speaker than the regular speaker , the overall feeling was buggy less smooth .
So yeah i revert back to 4.3 and i am totally happy , loving again my phone , feeling comfortable and reliable .
Cheers
Vatis
I flashed my UK handset originally Vodafone but bought 2nd hand and network unlocked. I used Flashtool to flash CE 1 of KK (681) not had a problem with overheating or any other bugs mentioned at all. I did flashed with full wipe.
The overheating is just happening when i am gaming, but the sound issue is really bad.....cmon!!

toggle for touchscreen
hi, i upgraded my z1 into kitkat and its running very good without any problem (after the update). however today i was in the swimming pool and i was searching for a toggle that can stop the z1 screen from touch underwater, i can remember i saw something like that when i upgraded into kitkat but i cant remember where the option is. badly need to know as the screen responses in a weird way while its wet. pls help me out
I just noticed a bug, not sure if others have as well. When my phone is charging the notification led's do not work, it stays solid amber. Has anyone else seen this?
It was like that on the M7 also
Really, that is not good. Did anyone make a mod to change that?
Not that I know of.
That's really going to bug me
It's like that on my LTE.

It's been like that on every phone I've had.
It's been a couple years since I had an HTC, the gs3 light flashed even when charging so I got used to that.

@metalfan78, you sound like your having a rough time adjusting. I hope that you don't turn to the S5 because of that. Granted, I would still be able to utilize your rom on my wife's S5 when that time comes, but that's not the point.
No, I'm gonna stick with the m8, I'm just asking questions about this stuff to see how things work. There are a few things I got used to though. Loving the m8 so far though.

Wish more people would ask questions before breaking their sh**. lol
I learned long ago to read, read, read, read some more, then ask questions, lol.
Some of these things I keep asking about sound fun to dig for and mod.
This has been the LED behavior for a few years now on HTC devices. On the M7, you could use our custom kernel to give you a feature called button blink... Which flashed the cap buttonns if your phone was charging so you'd know if you got a notification. Sadly, that isn't an option we can do for the M8. Hopefully someone can do a kernel mod to change the charging led behavior.
Yea, that would be cool.
I have been digging around the web for answers to this, because it is really driving me nuts. My led is really dim, and I really hate not being notified while the phone is charging. I have no idea where to look though. I posted another thread asking for some guidance because I would really love to change this. It seems like a minor thing, but it is something that HTC should fix in my opinion.

The last time I checked, it is a kernel issue. ThickLizard was working on getting this working even with a blue LED color.
That's good to hear. It seems so minor, but it makes me want to go to a different phone, but if it gets fixed I would be a happy camper.

You could try a different Rom? Viper Rom allows the notification light to flash while charging, the screen to turn on, the rear led camera lights to flash, etc.
Hi there. I just bought my wife used s5 mini (still under warranty) and she complains noone is hearing her good while talking to them on a phone. When she is on a speaker is much better. Unfortunatelly I've noticed this too. Is there a software fix for this? Is this a known s5 mini problem. Please help me solve this as elegant as possible. She is on 4.4 stock non root.
Edit: It seems music is low in general, like listenin the youtube, ringtones everything...
How can I fix this?
Hm. Noone faced such problem on s5 mini?
Clean the mic hole with a little needle i have heard helps ... at least for me...

Have you tried to update to 5.1.1 Lollipop? I think that it can be a sofware related problem...I can't update my phone yet because the ITV update is not yet rolled out. Resetting phone don't work for me. After update if it still not work i'll go for RMA.
