I don't have the phone yet but I've seen people saying that the headphone volume is a bit quiet.
Obviously "quiet" is a personal thing, but if it is quiet (to me), is there a way to make it louder? Music (and satnav) are the two most important things to me.
Sorry if this is a silly question. I'm an Android noob.
If to mean apart from turning the volume up no, though I've found it to loud to listen to comfortably on full volume and I'm 18 not some old guy haha hope that helps

Not quite true......
If you root then you can use dps manager to pump up the volume (Though it is debatable weather or not this compromises on quality).
You could also use the EQ settings in Power AMP to do a the same sort of thing...
I have installed volume+ by Meltus. It also has some eq and bass boost settings too. You can download it from here and doesnt require root. I also use poweramp. I found the biggest gains on the speaker and bluetooth. Be careful with max boost and volume in speaker mode as I got my speaker to pop and stop working for a few seconds but luckily wasnt damaged.

A recent post mentioned the secret code to raise basic volume level .

the title of the thread was called "volume codes". it seemed to have the real deal code fixes, but some said it worked while others said it didnt, so i'm totally confused.
for the people with low volume thru headphones, is this only with the stock headset? or has anyone tried a higher quality headset and sill have low volume?

Hey all, I can't seem to find anything about changing the minimum volume. Even on the lowest setting my phone is way too loud during calls, I have to hold it away from my head to be able to tolerate it, anyone know of a fix?
If funny how just 3 months ago, people were complaining about how the volume on these builds was too low and here you are complaining about how is too loud...LOL...I guess the chinese were right when they said, beware what you wish for...LOL
what about "wrapping a cloth on the speakers" trick ? Did you tried that ? Sure it will work!!
@ mazdarider LoL
Enjoy ur phone

Mine too. In loud restaurants I can't hear anything.
i use the speaker phone a lot, and although people can hear me well, i have some difficulty hearing them back when im in my car or a mall.
it seems the speaker phone volume is quite low and i have already maxxed out the volume settings and installed volume plus (+3, good quality). with volume plus my devices overall volume is much louder and clearer but my volume levels for the speaker phone, although a little improved, is still too low for my liking.
is there any way to correct this.

Volume + software. Search for it in XDA.

It's not my intention to be offensive here, but have you tried cleaning your ears recently?
It's amazing how dirty can really get an ear if don't clean it regularly and I'm not talking about Q-Tips, I mean really clean it by visiting the doctor who can literally vacuum that s**t out from you.
You won't believe your hearing capabilities after that! You'll feel like superman!

i think the correct code is *#*#197328640#*#*
i did reply on that thread that the succeeding menu entries were confusing and i was asking for some help on what options to choose for specifically increasing speaker phone volume.
iirc, you were also asking for the same, but for headset settings.
Hi,
I have just switched from an iPhone 4 to SGSIII. When going to sleep I like to listen to tune in radio. The only problem I am finding is that on the lowest volume notch using the volume keys is still too loud for me.
Is there anyway to lower this further?
I totally second this.. I am coming from an age old HTC G1, and i loved how i could have it SO quiet, that i could hold the phone up to my ear at night (the speaker phone side, not the talking side) and hear it just fine but a person laying next to me in bed couldn't tell i was listening to anything.. but with the Gs3 its so loud even at the lowest setting possible that at 4-5 feet away you can hear it.
Not to mention the text alert sound is too loud when I have it at the lowest setting.. On the G1 i could turn it down to the lowest setting and it was quiet enough that if you listened for it you could hear it in a quiet room, but if you weren't listening for it you'd miss it. wish the Gs3 had a little finer tuning on the quieter end
I do that too a lot and the only solution I found so far (sgs2) is to use apps like PlayerPro/PowerAmp for mp3s and XiiaLive for internet radios because they have internal volume control on top of androids one. Gets the volume so low that even at night with in-ear-canal headphones I can barely hear the audio. Not that I do that but still, it's nice to have control of the volume so much.

Poweramp is the only solution I have found but I really like Tunein and that does not have any control. There must be a simple system wide solution. My device is rooted so are there any options?

I'm resurrecting this old thread. I too would love to be able to turn down the volume to as low of a setting as I want. I don't understand why the phone manufacturers don't simply provide that capability!
There is another post here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2565559 on a technique for the HTC One. I haven't tried it on the S4 yet.

My volume isn't as loud as my previous phones.
Could it just be my phone?
Anyone suggest an apk that is safe to use without hurting the speaker.

Might be your speakers/headphones.
I've noticed that depending on what headphones I use, the volume is different.
On my phone, using earbuds, I have to keep the volume quite low actually. if its even 50% its too loud for my ears.

ps Has anyone heard anything about unlocking the bootloader since HTC disabled the tolkiens at HTCDEV?
Is anyone else annoyed about how quiet the volume is with headphones plugged in? I'm not using the official ones that came with it, but my own IEMs.
It's so quiet that on a Tube I can hear way too much external noise. For a multimedia device, this is making me unhappy!
My bootloader is locked so I can't root. Does anyone have any other suggestions or should I just get my portable amp back out?!
Thanks!
Did you already try all the sound enhancements in the settings???
Sound enhancements don't help much. Try the "normalize" option.
All other "enhancements" just lead to dynamic loss, to "pumping" sound and loss of audio details. Bad choices.
Tweaks like the ones done using "PowerAmp" do NOT work, just cause distortion.
By the way: I HATE the low volume, too. It's just annoying.
Yeah, the sound enhancements don't really do that, even normalize seems to be a bit hit and miss (sometimes i switch between it and volume goes up, other times down!)
It sounds like there's way too much processing of the sound going on. I know the noise cancelling function is software based so wonder if this is getting in the way, as it were? I can find no way to turn it off though.
So without root, it's unlikely to find a solution?
Shame.

Have any of you found a solution to this problem? I have Bose head phones, of very good quality, and the volume when using them is low. The volume control in the Settings in the Z2 tablete only increases volume until half way through the available movement of the control, and when moved further to the right it won't increase volume at all.
The actual volume through the built in speakers is loud enough.
On my IPad 3 the volume is much louder with head phones.
