[Q] sk17i speaker volume - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

is it possible to make the phones speaker louder??
i used to own a x10 mini pro and i found on the web 2 files to replace in the system/etc folder, the files name where: 1) AudioFilterPlatform 2)AudioFilterProduct
these files improved highly the volume without any distortion making the phone sound as loud as posible with perfect sound, google reicustics.....
or is there any other way to make the speaker and headphones a bit louder......

Try DSP Manager, it works for me for the music but not really good in enhancing in-call speaker volume ..

im very satisfied from the speaker of mini pro there is no way u need it any louder. this speakerphone sounds like its at its peak! any more louder and the quality will get worse

There is no chance to tweak for volume boost but yes i have tried "volume+" which helped me a little bit to get a little tweaking boost to get more clear sound
Try to get its cracked version as it don;t deserve to get paid
PM me if you don't find full version

[Q] Sound Quality in TG01

Hi, so my TG01 has really poor sound quality. I mean I have W960i and there music has nice and deep bass and it's nice and loud, and here the bass is like on poor quality video on youtube.. also when I make it lauder it does a lot of clicking on the background.. I tried few player and MortPlayer gives me best sound quality, but summing it, it's still poor If a comapre it to Sonny E.
Maybe it's sound drivers or somethin ? IM TALKING ABOUT SOUND IN HEADPHONES. I'M USING WM 6.5 FFBOYS 1.0.

Yes, sound quality has never been strong side of TG01 but maybe You should consider to utilize WOWHD. It works like some kind of DSP so You should
see any difference.

ok got it, but now gettin a message sain @There is no WOW HD driver loaded. The control panel will now [email protected] how should I fix this ? I duno how to edit the registry btw thx
1. go to your "windows", search the file with "wavedev" as part of name.
2. copy the whole name.
3. go to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\WaveDev] and set the "OldDriver" to STEP 2.
4. reboot.
Firstly I can not find this file, secondly I duno whats hkay_local... and how to access it please explain it to me

The file is probably hidden; you need a File Explorer which is able to 'see' hidden / system files (the native windows explorer in Windows Mobile only shows you ones which do not have the -h (hide) attribute set).
The reference to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (often written in short as HKLM) is a 'Hive Key' in the Registry. This works just like the Registry on a desktop PC and contains all the variable settings for the system and all the applications you have installed. To access this and edit its contents you need a Registry Editor.
One option which does all in one package is the Resco File Explorer (Payware); alternatively you can search on XDA and there are various alternative offerings available with differing capabilities.
Hope that helps clarify....
Back to the original issue behind this, though and I would observe that actually the sound quality out of the TG01 is in fact very good - but you will only hear that with a high bitrate audio source and a decent set of earphones on the end to do it justice, or alternatively by output to a high quality external amplifier via quality screened cable and connectors. The stock earbuds (or similar) will never give you good quality sound. Addition of SRS or equivalent software will only modify the perceived sound, but can never overcome the limitations of such hardware. I've included the spec for my audio setup in my sig below - I'm using .wav encoded audio so it is 1:1 CD quality with no compression whatsoever - as soon as you start using compression (MP3 or similar) the audio quality will be degraded.
well ur answer does not help me. I do use resco explorer.
And how can u say quality is good ? ;d there is a lot of cliping etc quality is so poor that my casete player would give me better output. well I do have good quality headphones pionier make that reatail over pounds. my MP3 files sound awesome on my PC or Sony E. and TG01 just can not handle this level. That's why I'm loooking for anyway to fix this issue and I need this WOWHD as it might help. anyway I got it working but it gives my no audio output 0.- help.
Tried an active set of headphones or a portal headphone amp?
I did not tried amp, but I will no spend any more money for this, jsut want to manage WOWHD to work. I has it working and after editing registry entries my phone does not swich music to headphones, and when answering the phone it can only use speaker, and the micro does not work ;/ too bad help.
Well I just happened to have my headphone cable on me today at work. I have a set of noise cancelling headphones here at work and I don't seem to have a problem with 'clicking' except perhaps between songs when it actually changes track. Whilst not being loud, it sounds ok to me.
Are you using the original headphones that came with the TG01? They suck. Change them for something else and see if that improves things.
Also.. I wonder if the 'radio' version has anything to do with it?
As I said before HEADPHONES HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. I USE PIONIEER HDJ1000 AND I WOULD SAY THEY ARE REALLY GOOD. I tried others as well and the best sound i get on pionieer. but it's still not good at all. Bass sounds like a cheap imitation of bass. and as someone said I could cry WOWHD as it worked for few people giving a bit better sound, so jsut want to try it, but can not get it to work, got this frustrating error @ no WOW HD driver loaded .. And i have no idea if radio version has anything to do with it, I hope you guys tell me that Thanks
You could always try another ROM that already includes WOWHD in it? (Look for the MiROM 8 + UPX compression ROM )
I know that's a bit extreme to do, but you have already flashed your phone with FFBoys.. so it shouldn't be that much of an issue. (use PIM Backup to record your contacts first!)
It could just be that the SE phone has better dedicated hardware as many of them seem to be made with music in mind.
Ok downloading new ROM. I have tried many ROM with no change on audio quality I hate Sense but just wanna try this WOWHD software and see if it's worth using, then I'll go back to old FFboy's ROM, and yes I also think that Sonny E. has better hardware as it's Walkman phone, and that's always been known as good thing.

... TG01 with 9,9 mm was for a long time the thinnest smartphone.
....thinnest smartphone= thinnest loudspeaker= poor sound
... but i love it ...
Allegedly Phantasm X3 is the music player that gives the best sound quality on windows mobile, but good luck obtaining a copy even legitmately.
As mentioned, have it might be worth while trying a different 'radio' with the rom, as if it can effect call quality, maybe it can affect sound quality as well. Which country are you in?
I'm from England and I don't really think that where I leave has anything to do with, the quality of sound. The hardware isn't too good it does not support 320 sample rate
But guys I do have sound that can be accepted, it's still not good, but there is not clicking ans stuff. I have installed miRom8 with WOWHD already intergrated.
I will stay with it, because it runs quite smoothly and many functions that are useful. AND MOST IMPORTANT SOUND IS BIT BETTER.
thanks for help
I've tested a lot of Roms and I have a couple of TG01 : Sound quality it's always the same. It's hardware related, not software.
Said this, sound quality it's average. Using device speakers is quite poor (perhaps due to the thickness, as said before) but with headphones it's not bad, even good in my opinion
And if you use a pair of good headphones and SRS HD switched ON, sound it's superb
Instead, nobody says nothing about voice record quality. Its awful, the worst record device I've never heard . Do you agree?
Hi I am new to this forum. I used Touch and Kaiser in the past.
Have been using TG01 for a few weeks and love it.
I am trying to use it as a music player via stereo bluetooth headset, using coreplayer and in mp3 or wma format. The quality of sound is awful. Then I change the music format as flac which is a lossless format and improves the quality a bit. But the human voice is like a digital nature, worse of all, still not much bass. SRS HD helps a bit on the voice, but not the bass (I have to admit my headset is not a very decent one)
Two questions:
1. I understand a quality headset will definitely improve the bass quality, does the bluetooth transmission limit the bitrate or sound frequency?
2. Any recommendation on the tweak, media player or setup?

Try a different music player, S2P is good, and you can use the music player while the screen is locked.
As i said earlier Phantasm is the best audio player available for winmo, but i have never used it.
I don't think SRS WoW HD will really help too much to be honest.

[Q] Volume hack

I am using my rooted XS with Marshall Minors and found the volume to be low unless I increase via EQ which then distorts the sound. Is there any hack to increase the volume like Alsamixer? or any app that will unleash the power of audio volume?
Thanks

I did, the main issue is I use audiobook player which is quiter and with max volume is still not great. I need to use this for my studies. The xloud has no effect on this. Previously with Galaxy Nexus I used alsamixer which was great in unlocking the volume but it doesn't work on XS.
i dont know but i used to use the audioboost it was work before with x10 but i find xperia s to work really loud i have half way income-call volume and it work perfectly fine for me !!!
seems to me that i got my ears too sensitive !
It may not be ideal but you could just batch reincode your audiobooks at 150% Volume(Gain).

Thanks mate. They are actually mp3 files do you recommend easy to use free app?
I tried few but they do not do straightforward volume gain.

Audacity will do it. You need to get LAME separate for MP3s(Legal thing). To do a single file open the mp3, slide the -...+ slider on the left of the track to the right, then export the MP3 to a new file. Done.
Not sure about batch processing with it, I've only ever done such things with images, but google is your friend on that one.

framework.odex - how to modify files inside and pack them back to odex?

Hello I'm having a problem, I need to edit AudioService.class to gain more volume in my Xperia J (it's limited by design...stupid EU law). The framework.jar is not as usual, it's an .odex file in the phone which means I had to unpack the contents of it first.
But after using this tool http://code.google.com/p/smali/wiki/DeodexInstructions All the files lost it's structure and I can't even modify the audio values right now.
Also is it possible to odex deodexed files again to make them work on stock rom (based on ICS)?
I've tried to send this message to sony but their forum is dead so here it is explained furthermore:
Hello, I'm furious with my new phone. The headphones volume is not sufficient at all (I'm talking various models of HEADphones, not earphones, although the standard ones that come with the phone are not loud enough to me as well).
The sound also appears compressed on this model which for example means that if something is played at low volume for longer period of time the phone automatically levels the sound to be louder and if something strucks like an explosion for example the sound reduces to the limited value that to me sounds lik 85dB and the phone can handle a lot more beacause when someone calls me while I'm listening to music, music just BOOOMS up the volume for a second and then the ringtone comes in. I had the same issue with my HTC phone but Volume+ app from market could fix that, however on Xperia J with ICS on board none of the volume hacking applications work.

[Q] GB - How to increase Speaker volume (editing in Rootexplorer, not with apks ON)?

Hey People.
How can i increase the volume of the speaker? Safely and without distortion, by Editing and not with apps running on the phone all the time.
It's like these, i'm using Gingersony v06 ( yes i got back to Gingersony after 3 days of being on the Original Stock Eclair, that Blue color on all the Stock Eclair is very annoying :S ), and people tell me that they can't hear me clearly when we are in a Call, and i don't hear people as well ( at least not loud enough ).
So that's why i wanted to increase the volume in order to hear loud and for the others to hear me loud 2.
Good answers will always get a Thanks press button
Ps: just an add, if someone knows how to get better audio quality as well ( because when hearing music, i can hardly hear clear the vocals ) then please tell me

I don't see the download anywhere in that thread, and it says it's for Mini, mine is Mini Pro, will it work?
But by the name 'Beats', i guess that must be the Xloud+Beats thing.
I used that thing some time ago but in that time i didn't see any change in the sound at all, but maybe i had a wrong version of it, because some players didn't work with that installed.
You know where i can get the fully working version?
Ps: that beats mod, did it change your sound quality at the point that you can hear the vocals clearly when playing music?, because it's a bit annoying to hear great/loud Instruments and then the voice looks like it's far away from the song :S xD

Try DSP-Manager with eq 'vocal boost' preset enabled, or play around with the viper4android APP (the best sound quality/loudness enhancer APP in my opinion ).

Dsp Manager i personally don't like it because for me it's the same thing as an Normal equalizer, i tried all presets and effects but there's always something wrong, if using effects for more vocals then the sound will loose Power 'instruments will sound with much less power, not very good to hear' to obtain that, about the viper4android i don't know if it's good 'i only used it once in your rom but with a bug of stoping/starting music so i quit' but maybe i'll make another try, sincerely i don't think there's a solution for the vocal problem on the songs without changing the sound itself or having Less Power

In Call Volume Boost w/ Root

Now that we have root for our Z3v's... I've been playing around with trying to find/edit the files that control our phones speaker volumes (both in call earpiece volume and speaker phone volume). I don't necessarily need to increase the speaker volume for playing music because most of the time I'm using bluetooth, but I'm sure a lot of people would be interested in that as well.
I'd like to be able to just modify the phones system files rather than use some sort of booster app.
From what I'm been able to find, the file located in /system/etc/ called mixer_paths.xml is what our device uses to control volume parameters. I've seen where other devices have had these types of files modified in order to boost max volumes.
Is this something we can do with our phones? The in call volume, both earpiece and speaker phone are just TOOOO quite for me.
This is about as far as I can comfortably go as I'm not a developer/programmer.
Anyone out there comfortable helping out with this idea? Is it possible.

I also would like to know how to increase the volumes
I think it's almost comical how low the audio levels out of the headphone jack are. I don't know if this can be fixed or what but even playing at full volume it seems too low.

I did flash the sound mod through recovery but it only boosted speaker volumes, not in call volumes. I used the one without Dolby.

Wow so we can flash .zip files in recovery now? Again just making sure, just rooted and there isn't a ton of info out there for our device atm. Thanks in advance
I flashed it in the dual recovery as well. Just make a backup first because the zip they have to take it back to stock isn't for our phone. In other words if you ever want to go back you should wipe & reload the backup. And make sure you don't install the lollipop version.

Does this mod increase speaker volume in general? Like listening to music?
