[Q] How to make the speaker louder - HD7 General

I just bought my HD7 and the speaker is very low and i have it on level 30.
Is there any way of making it more loud??
Please for all the help that i can get.

Hi that is an issue with the HD7 and we are hoping MS will fix the issue with the future updates
You might have also noticed the camera is rubbish for long distance shots as well
and that you cant add a custom ringtone.
so stay put and hope they update our software quickly

so.....many.......replies.....must.....contain.....self....

To the original poster, what Hardware Revision is your phone? Mine is version 0002 and I find the speaker to be quite loud for ringing, notifications, and music. For Netflix, the volume is very low.
To the other posters... if your only contribution to this forum is stuff like "this phone is rubbish," please leave.

same with mine ringtones alerts and music sound is very low but playing games like bejewelled and metro blocks in game sounds and music is very very loud I have to turn it down.

Same issue here. One way around it is to use Chevron ringtone installer to get your own tunes onto the phone (works for alarms and alerts) but before you do use Audacity t increase the sound on the tune before converting to the correct format for the phone. I have done this and now my ringtone,alarms and alerts are plenty loud enough for noisy environments.

i used all the above.
To be exact on the games only the sound is loud..
The ringing of all the sounds that i tested is too low..
i cant ever hear it when its in my pocket and it rings..!!
I hope the ota update that is on its way, should fix the registry key that does all that.

lets hope , it is very low

i think this is a software bug of Microsoft .
I hope they will repair this absurd bug on the future upgrade , because at this moment is impossible to hear the sms tone and call tone

Actually the volume is the same,l do not know what set up are You using but l test all 3 preset and volume is same. But still for all others if you have on your hd7 installed custom ringtones you can make this ringtones (edit the ringtone) in some app for editing music,and play with equalizers so you can have louder tones. Still my opinion is that hd7 has some software limitations-volume simple must be louder-common how can we hear phone in pockets or handy bags. New Nokia phones are much much loader so...HTC do SOMETHING!

also the speaker volume is maximum 10 in Hd7 is this the same for all the devices?

I have already installed even the rom 1.60.401.01 since my phone had 1.23.401.01 when i bought it, i made the update to the build 7008 via zune but nothing changed.
I installed also HTC Sound Enhancer but the increase was about 2% louder than before enabling the Dolby option since SRS did nothing at all.
I hope that Microsoft & HTC with solve that problem on the upcoming NoDo Update..

Just put your phone inside your pocket and walk on the street at some big cities like LA, or San Francisco, i bet nothing could warn you about the phone except the vibration of the phone itself.
The sound from outside world are so many and come to your ear the same time, how could you expect to hear your favorite ringtone from your god **** phone inside your pocket? Bring the external speaker and stick it on your ears, you will hear it!
I don't know about you guys phone, i can hear my ringtone from my HD7 while i am talking to friend at the hall.

When i used a TPU material case (harder than silicon but more flexible than hard plastic case) seems to absorb sound leakage from phone build (HD7 has 'flimsy' batter case). Immediately after installing, sounds like ringtones ard keyboard tapping sounds have improved noticeably. Hopefully this gives u a temp fix...

increase speaker sound

is it possible to overclock/tune the audio settings and increase the sound that comes out from the speakers???
I hate the tilt speaker, its so quiet that i always miss my calls. Plus my headphones are louder not on my ear than playing music from the speaker.
mehh???
Can't do the phone for you, but get a player with pre-amp capability in the equaliser - like GSPlayer, or TCMP
G.
just tried gsplayer, its not loud either...
is there anyway to make the speaker louder for mp3's??? :/ atleast for the ring tone.
Download your ringtones from your pda to your pc and open them with an audio edit program (like audition or ...). Raise the volume and save it.
Put them on your pda
think you should go to a doctor
i had to decrease the speaker to 50% cause it was much to loud.
there will be no software-way to increase, cause it is limited to avoid hardware-problems with the speaker. try to open your kaiser and do some electonic-work
bye andré
Are you complaining about the ring tone volume? or the music volume?
If so then do the following using your computer:
1. Save the Ring Tones or the Music Files onto your Computer.
2. click on Start/All Programs/Accessories/Entertainment/Sound Recorder/
3. On the Sound recorder, click File/Open/ ( open the Ring Tones you saved earlier or the music files)
4. Increase the volume and then save the file. You can re-record the saved file with another 25% volume increase.

Not offense meant, I'm talking from a professional point of view: go to a ENT specialist to check on your hearing capabilities. Especially if you're young, you may have damage from various club visits, etc.
If you're older, you may have had ISSHL without even noticing it.
Seriously: I'm 42 and the HTC TyTN II is VERY loud at the max volume setting(s), so you definetely have to check out your hearing capabilities. Even if you think you hear very well, it is possible that you hear only certain frequencies very well and others not.
Just a friendly advice, you don't have to agree.
the phone has its speaker on the rear side, which is sucks!
but then they couldnt place the speaker grills on the front either for sake of looks
i (and i am sure almost everybody) keep the phone with the lcd facing up so the speaker gets blocked and the sounds are muffled.
my nokia has its speaker on the top (not front) which sounds awesome even when in pant pockets..
seriously i think uk3 is fine..lol..nothing wrong with his ears
Take a look at your sound profile.
I was having the same problem until i checked that and noticed that it defaults at sound 40% ring 40%
knocked it up to 100% and all is well now
the sound for the default ringtone... (Ring Windows Mobile) is VERY loud when volume is at max. BUT the ringtone of the mp3 that i put into the /my documents/my ringtones are very low and unable to hear them when i have the phone in my pocket. I notice about a 50% in volume change.
This goes with the windows media/audio manager. It plays really low. My hearing is fine im only 18 lol

if you have a program like Audacity you can use that to make your MP3ringtones louder.

Not sure where or if it even exist on a default settings (i've got the 02 version of the Kaiser i.e the strealth) but i've got SPB phone suite installed so there is a icon on my today screen which I can just tap and set various profiles to ring and notification settings (set to 100% ring and 100% vibrate, 40% ring and vibrate, just vibrate etc.)
But as a test I did a hard reset (backed up everything with sprite backup first) and then played the default ringtone and it was very quiet , restored from my backup which had spb phone suite installed and the volume increased a lot
Hello folks ... actually my problem with Kaiser is different, as my speakers work so fine with both ring tones and music ... but my problem is with the ring back tone (RBT) which is the ringing tone you hear till the other party picks up the call ... I can barely know whether it's dialing or not ... anyone can give me the registry key/value to enhance this.
TIA
HI dude, try the SRS WOW HD app.
It works on my Kaiser
Here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=355496&highlight=srs_wowhd_arm
The volume of the actual mp3 doesnt matter. I rerendered a mp3 to 20db more than it was.. and it still played the same volume on the phone... Is it just that the speaker of the kaiser is crappy?
Can anyone suggest agood custom setting
If u could clcik a Picture captuer & post it
Would help alot
Thank You

For the playing music part, do you guys play the same file? It could be the encoding and decoding process that different files have diffierent output levels. So test again with the same file. For the phone call, make a call (to your voice mail mabe), then turn up the volume while you're on the call. It's weird that this can only access when you're on a call. Hope this help
Have you checked to make sure the volume on the actual media player is turned up? The WMP's volume is usually on like 70% from default or something like that.
I bought my girlfriend a wing and her speaker's sound is a lot better than mine. And I've tried the same exact video and audio files.

hack to increase speakerphone volume?

Are there any hacks to increase the speakerphone volume?
I was rocking Resco Radio and its plenty loud. But the speakerphone is sadly quiet. Any recommendations are greatly appreciated.
Mine is quiet too, but the sound is already cracking if I use the speakerphone. It's unfortunate that the quality on the speakerphone is under par.
Does yours crack?

What about hardware modifications? Maybe two speakers. There is room for it.
Cool, let's get some xenon flash in there too while we're at it. Looking forward to when you post pics of that, Paitor hehe
I too want the speaker volume to go up. I dont really bother about the music playback but i want the phone to be loud when it rings when a call comes in. I donot realize the phone is ringing in my pocket and end up missing calls.

Call volume too low?

Hi, I just got my Nexus 6 that I purchased from eBay, everything is ok but the call volume, while it's pretty clear, I think it's too low compared to other phones, I'm not sure if I'm crazy or someone else has noticed that? I tried the speakers for music and they are loud, again, it might just me, but I wanted to double check if someone has noticed that, and if it's something normal for this phone, thanks!

Try this.
1. Make sure the system volume is all the way up as well as the phone earpiece volume.
Get an app the controls all volumes and you'll see it there along with media , alarm etc.
This happened to me but once i raised system and phone it was fine.
Also note that you must practice placing ear in perfect earpiece speaker position lol.
Let me know if it worked that was my problem.

Ditto. My phone volume way too low for in call - either with built-in earpiece or a wired headset.
Nothing I've found brings it up.
Speakers for media/notification is very good&loud, but speaker for in-call (using as a true speakerphone, not trying to use speakerphone mode as earpiece) and ringing is inadequate.

Believe that with update to 5.01 that is going to fix the problem, hope so, I believe that I read it somewhere. I really want to know what are all the fixes for the new version 5.01
BTW, I have Volume Ace download it from play store and see if you got all volume up
Good luck !

Speaker Problems RMA, need people to run a test for me .

Please go into your sound and notification settings and play the Ganymede ringtone in portrait mode on highest volume (does your top speaker sound distorted?), now while it is playing turn the phone into landscape mode (might have to turn both ways to get it to switch) . Does it sound different?
My top speaker sounds like it is blown in the portrait mode and when the phone switches to landscape mode the sound becomes more full and both speakers work like they should. What are you results?
THANKS!
I hear distortion with that ring tone no matter what orientation I have the phone in.
Sound is distorted in both orientations on several of the ringtones, not just Ganymede. My first N6 didn't have this speaker/sound problem, but my second one does. We'll see if the third (should be coming soon) is any improvement.
Sound problems will be fixed in 5.1 update.
Doesn't sound like a software problem if some phones are only having problems ...I think I am going to RMA mine and see what I get.

Ok thx. Really hope that this is a software issue. Not because of that one song but because I get distorted sound in ringtones, notifcations and such aswell. Talked directly with Motorola and they offered me a new device but sadly I live in Sweden and therefor I have to send it back to the store I bought it from for repair instead if I want to RMA it.
