Low Volume on External Speaker? - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

When I play music off the speaker on the evo 4g lte, its so quiet even at max volume. I came from the Galaxy S2, to this phone and the speaker is the only disappointing thing on this phone, I wish it was louder, is there any hot fix for it?

Try volume+ in the market

it seems to suck

I only used it on my 3d seemed to work fine back then, its the first thing that comes to mind when some wants a louder speaker

I tried volume + it made no difference, is there anything else I can use?

DSP Manager might work better for you. Be careful - don't want to blow that tiny thing

Use QPST to increase the volume - this requires that you know ur MSL.
MSL Reader is free on Google Play (requires root!) and how to configure/use QPST can be found by searching XDA.

this is the first time I ever heard of QPST...is it something similar to regedit or something of that nature? I have my MSL all ready

It's a Qualcomm service programming tool that allows you to edit all kinds of parameters on your phone.

I have the paid version and I put it on Max volume and still sounds exactly the same? what does Root tools do their really no options in there for me?
I tried the other method but my computer would not install the HTC Diag drivers through device manager for some reason

2. This is the version of QPST I used to make changes to my phone (I couldn't get any other version to work with Windows 7 x64 so I searched around and found this version, which worked for me).

I have read reviews for QPST working for some people but not others, so YMMV.
Good luck!

Even with tweaks the speaker on the LTE is not ideal, I'm guessing that's likely because they were trying to save room when creating the design. I was honestly debating looking up the speaker online and seeing if I could find a better one to replace it with...though this isn't ideal for most people (including myself), I'm still really tempted to do so.

I agree with you but I thought I would throw it out there just on the off-chance it does actually work for some.

How about trying the loudspeaker of motorola photon? It has one of the loudest speaker , and i ve seen it the part is thinner than the evo 4g speaker
The photon speaker also very cheap only $4 online
The problem is how to attach it to our phone ?

I will try this out thank you, even if its just a little louder, I can deal I can't even hear my music in the shower anymore

Help needed with Audio Hack for the Nexus!

I guess this is development, so here goes:
Ok, some people have repoted success with my Audio Hack on the Nexus whilst some people have reported no change at all.
If my app or the manual hack works for you can you please let me know what ROM you're running, and which version of my hack you used, it would be very helpful
Cheers!

I'll help ...
I'll give her a test whirl in a little bit and report back some solid testing results for you as soon as I can.
~enom~
i tried every possible combo with the options this morning and i still have nothing. oddly, i get a double screen option on the headphone boost screen. 2 yes and 2 no's. one pair is white the other yes is green and the other no is red.
my results and some information
Meltus,
Do you have a N1 to play with? or are you shooting in the dark (and thus need help)?
Anyhow ...
Some details ...
I implemented via manually pushing the AudioPara4.csv, AudioFilter.csv, & AudioPreProcess.csv files to /system/etc and then rebooting.
I tried both G7_v3r2 and G7_v2r2. Both resulted in (from what I can tell) no change. I did not witness any volume gain or decrease. No distortion. No nothin'. Literally everything appeared unchanged.
Some interesting things I found for you ...
The stock (or shipping) AudioPara4.csv in the Nexus1 (ERD79) is the exact match for all Stock-sapphire-32B(MT3G) ROM's/devices.
Also, AudioPreProcess.csv and AudioFilter.csv are not present on the Nexus1.
Also, the Nexus1 is shipping with a couple new .csv files in the /system/etc directory ... AdieHWCodecSetting.csv & AudioBTID.csv.
That's the results I obtained and the relevant detail I observed. If you need anything else from me in way of producing an audio mod. I'd be happy to assist.

Yeah, i'm pretty much guessing at the moment, with help from simms22, but we've still not been able to get the volume hack to work.
It's strange though, some people have reported success whilst most others haven't. And, from checking the logcat when the mediaserver restarts, it loads the AudioPara4.csv fine, so my files should make a difference and the headset boost option should work fine, but it doesn't ><
So far, we've established that the AudioFilter.csv and AudioPreProcess.csv aren't used by the Nexus, but the strange thing is, some of the Nexus firmware dumps which people provided for me include these files and some don't. It seems as if there's 2 versions of the nexus, either that or people added the files in when they sent me the dump.
So, it seems that the nexus loads the AudioPara file, but i'm not sure why as it doesn't do anything. The other 2 files seem to be bluetooth related, so i'm not sure they'll make a difference.
God, this phone's more trouble than it's worth
could it be that the nexus for google employees and the nexus for the public are that different. ive asked around also, no one has that app working on their nexus that i know of. could it be that some people are lying and just saying that it works(to be cool).

Good point, and them lying is a possibility (albeit a strange one ).
This doesn't make much sense to me, i'm gonna speak to some ROM devs and see if they have an answer

yea I dunno ... it would certainly be hard to believe that this type of issue would be "intermittent".
This seems to me like an all or nothing affair, in which it really should either work or not. I could be wrong, I've seen stranger things happen, but I really don't see how this would be working for a "select few".

Very true, unless there are 2 different versions (like simms said, maybe one for google employee's), but even if there was, i don't see why they would make it different. (unless they made it different for the public, specifically to stop me doing this, which i highly doubt lol)

My money's on a placebo effect. They get the new file on there, so they're under the impression it sounds better/louder.

lol..I wanted an EQ so bad I think I convinced myself something was actually happening.
I am not getting the double screen at all. I saw no difference in the volume either with the external speaker or the headphones after installation and setting up V2r2.
Volume Hack
I have the double icons on the headset screen. I haven't had a change in the volume.
Now I could have sworn when I tried it that the volume got worse and then I tried the files on your site the stock ones and it got better but after playing with it continuously for about 3 days I have come to the conclusion it is a placebo effect and nothing more.

[Q] In-Call Voice Quality Better on Rooted EVO3D With Flashed ROMs?

I've already tried changing the codecs (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194947&highlight=voice+quality) and am just shy of taking a triangle file to the mic opening on my case.. (or exchanging the phone at Sprint)...
So.. My question is.. Has anyone who has had bad call quality with the stock ROM, then rooted their phones and flashed new ROMs have any issues with call quality with the new ROMs?
I'm avoiding taking my phone back as it is a magnificent piece of hardware, however my wife is ready to do it for me if I can't get the call quality improved.

I feel your pain! I took my 3VO back within the 30 days because of the "muffled mic" problem. My favorite tech gave me a brand new one, no questions asked. But, I still have my husband complaining, as well as some friends. I haven't tried changing the codecs, though. I did root my phone and install TWRP recovery. I haven't flashed a ROM, yet, though. So I can't tell you if a custom ROM will work. I am going to try the triangle file, though. Probably today. I had thought part of the problem was my case, which is the Best Buy Platinum. It's made by Seidio. But, taking it off makes no difference. So, I will try filing the back of my Evo. I will report back. I'm also going to choose and flash a ROM this weekend. I was just waiting for a chance to get a Class 10 16GB sdcard from my local Microcenter. I'm just hoping it's a REAL Class 10...
I guess you can try exchanging your 3VO. Just letting you know I had the same problem with the second one.
My husband says he has no problem hearing me from my 3d, but he always sounds muffled when we talk. I'm going to root his 3d this weekend and probably file the mic hole. I've done both of those things to mine already. Nobody complains about my voice quality -- before or after root -- but his is horrible.

Hmm.. Well, I guess it won't help to exchange it then.. Sucks because I use it for business as well and my clients that are located in Colorado had made a comment about it.
Maybe filing open the mic hole and/or flashing a ROM will do the trick (or any combination thereof)

Just wondering if you file the mic hole and if it helped? I changed the codecs, but that didn't do anything for me. I've tried taking off the back of my phone, but that doesn't seem to help the muffled mic issue for me. So, I figure if taking off the back won't help, filing the hole won't either. Might be time to talk to my Sprint tech friend...
Can you keep us posted?

Along with changing the codecs did you also try the volume adjustment threw qpst?? Also if you decide to try the mod check out volume + "plus" ver.1.7. Imo it works great.

What settings did you use with Volume+? I tried it, but didn't hear any difference. I'm wondering if HTC used more than one brand of mic in our 3VOs? We know they used at least 2 different screens. Maybe one mic has higher gain and the kernel is set so that the mic in our phones is squelched? I asked my Sprint tech friend if HTC might address the problem with an update, but he said HTC would have to see it as a problem. Apparently not very many people have complained, at least not to Sprint. Sorry for the long, rambling post.
I tried some tests today. It makes no difference if I'm holding my phone, I'm still muffled. If I plug in my wired headset, my voice is much louder. If I used a voice recorder application, rather than make a call, my voice is louder too. Of course the voice recorder application might have the gain turned up in case you're trying to record something that is not right by the mic.

At first I was mad that you suggested this. But, I tried holding my phone vertically in front of my mouth, with the mic right in front of my mouth. Voila! The other person can actually hear me. Now to figure out how I can hold it so I can hear them, as well. Normally I hold my phone where the speaker is loudest for my ear and angle it towards my mouth, so the mic is near it. Too bad the modification to file out the hole on the back of the phone near the mic doesn't seem to help...

When im calling with somebody so i dont hear him. Sound is so quite. I have AudioManager from android and volume for calling on max. I dont know what i can do for better call volume. Please help :crying:
My wife's phone had the same problem. Hers is not rooted. She ended up taking to Sprint for a $35 repair. They said the speaker was messed up. It didn't seem to affect the media or ringer volume, just the in call volume.

Same problem here, on mwakious too. Did some searching and apparently the in call speaker connection is a bit ****. I've gotta try a warranty repair first otherwise I'll give it a crack myself, doesn't seem too hard.

Turn on the "Hearing Aid" mode in Call settings. At the cost of having another icon in your status bar, your volume will be quite loud in call.

Samsung III Volume

Hello All,
I wanted to buy an SIII but I went to the store and listened to the musice through my apple in the ear headphones. The volume is not quite loud enough for me. I checked the settings and noticed that the were all maxed. My Iphone4 is louder but I want the SIII any network version here in the UK.
I also looked at the HTC One Audio Beats which was perfect, but I really want the SIII.
The audio limiter rules in Europe go against me because of my disabiltiy and I just wish there was a way to make it louder to cover my hearing loss. I wear hearing aids but take them to and use headphones to listen to music.
Do I write off the SIII or is there someway around it?
Grateful to anyone who might be able to help.?

Since you're posting on XDA, I'm assuming you'll be rooting your phone. If so, then yes there is a mod that will greatly increase the phone's volumes for earpiece, speaker, headset, headphones and dock. Mod is located here. It is a popular mod for those of us who prefer a much louder phone, and this fix is even baked into some custom ROMs.

I don't know what you mean by "will this root work here in the UK". Are you planning on buying just the regular International version of the Galaxy S3? Answer to question 2 is yes.

There's a mod called GVM 1.0.2 for S3 Int, if you're rooted. If you root and want warranty work, you need to reset counter to 0 with triangle away and flash stock Rom using mobile odin, then del your root apps like mobile odin etc

But, guys thanks, you are all really helping me to make that right decision. It is appreciated.

Just ordered the S3 blue, to be delivered tomorrow.... I am going to need some hand hold here to blow that volume hack so whatever you please do not shout at me. I read up on the mod zip file but it left me slightly confused.... Are there any step by step instructions on how to apply the rom?
All the best

Well you first have to achieve root and flash clockworkmod ecovery.
From recovery you will be able ro install roms and tweaks like the "extremely loud volume hack" you need.
You can start from here for rooting ang flashing CWM

He is talking about headphones mate,read the op better next time...
He'll need to flash Siyah...quite more easy and we all know it works...
AFAIK loud volume hack is for the speaker right?

Hello All,
I wanted to buy an SIII but I went to the store and listened to the musice through my apple in the ear headphones. The volume is not quite loud enough for me. I checked the settings and noticed that the were all maxed. My Iphone4 is louder but I want the SIII any network version here in the UK.
I also looked at the HTC One Audio Beats which was perfect, but I really want the SIII.
The audio limiter rules in Europe go against me because of my disabiltiy and I just wish there was a way to make it louder to cover my hearing loss. I wear hearing aids but take them to and use headphones to listen to music.
Do I write off the SIII or is there someway around it?
Grateful to anyone who might be able to help.?

Change the kernel to either Siyah or franco.Kernel
They have the voodoo sound in it which can like boost the headphone/earphone volume by a lot.
Another way is to use a headphone amp but seriously using the above method is super loud already.

You're 100% right
He just needs to flash Siyah and he'll be chilling at 100+ perceived decibel with just a fingerslide

Let me know if you want to stay stock but rooted .. GVM works well but .. in past Galaxies nothing compares to voodoo .. waiting for JB to install Siyah or Franco.

Mod has some limits but I wouldn't use max, might ruin speake. Actually I just boosted vol for headphones, speaker is fine for me but I don't see any harm boosting another 20-30% .. think limit is like 50 + 13% .. search for thread MOD GVM in S3 General Q

Welcome to the S3
Hello all again....
Well I got my S3 today and wow what a great phone!... The ear volume is that loud that I can actually hear with my hearing aids in, I am totally made up with it. :good:
The only thing is the ringer sound. Before I consider root it, does anyone know where I can get a Old Style Telephone ring ring tone from? Preferably volume maxed?
I cannot hear the supplied tone because of their frequency and the old style ring ring always seems to work best.
I am happy to pay for the ringtone. :laugh:
Very happy with you guys, thanks for helping me out. Guess I just have to leave all my bought itune songs in the bin
All the best

Business ring tones on play store. Got some really good old time bell tones, including my favourite single long bell tone a-la 70's America

Read the disclaimer for the qpst. Setting the tab all the way up to four has the potential to blow out your phone's speakers. Three is the best bet. As always you do this at your own risk and nobody is responsible if you mess up your phone. Don't mean to sound like a douche but I had to tell somebody off for smarting off to me about using qpst.
actually if you put your ear RIGHT UP TO THE PHONE it'll sound louder! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT!?!?!?!? lol. now if you actually read the manual.. I think it actually says something like you have to hold your phone at least an inch away from your head or you'll die of the rays coming out of your phones. lol! QPST is ****ty software. I'm not paying to use it.
I am only trying to help another xda member. Please do not post replies saying that a question is unintelligent.

I have tried different apps to increase the volume (both speaker and headphone) of my Evo3D, but I never actually felt any difference. Only difference I felt was when I installed Mwakious's Roms with his sound enhancements, there was a bit of an increase, I have to admit. You guys should give it a shot, seems better than those Google Play apps that you need to pay in order to receive... nothing
