Anyway to increase the Speaker volume? Since we don't have root, volume mods are a no go.

I like the S4 speaker better than the S7 speaker. Being that the S7 speaker is waterproof, the speaker wasn't designed for high undistorted sound output. Driving the speaker with more power could lead to premature failure. A small external powered speaker should provide better results when used with the equalizer. A bluetooth speaker is a better wireless alternative.

I agree. The speaker sound pretty good though it isn't loud. A Bluetooth speaker can be bought for next to nothing and will sound better than any phone speaker.

I just need a notch or two louder. I rooted and made my Note 4 louder and the Speaker held up just fine.

I have rooted my notes, amended the mixer_paths or mixer_gains (kit-kat and lollipop respectively) to pump the volume for speaker, headset and bluetooth with dramatic results. I find the S7 edge speaker to be marginally satisfactory, the corded headset to be dissatisfactory and bluetooth headset plantronics backbeat go 2) to be a good fit for my sub-par hearing.
Without root there's nothing we can do to effectively increase the volume. Get hearing aids (I have 'em), and find headsets that are up to the task. Pas I say, my plantronics do a good job for me, although I have ample volume with room to spare with my rooted/edited mixer_paths on my note 5.
How about now?

Hi there guys.
First of all apologies if this post will cause any confusion or if someone has asked before.
The volume output on nexus 4 make me feel like I'm actually deaf because of its LOW VOLUME.
Is there any volume boost apps such as the ones used on GNEX?

Just flash this equalizer and turn up the equalizer settings and you will get louder sounds.

Compared to the GNex, I thought the N4 was super loud! lol
The equalizer is more of a software side fix. I think the op is referring to something that actually sets the hardware output higher similar to what the voodoo apps do. This results in a cleaner non distorted sound compared to just boosting eq levels.

Speaker is actually loud. Tried different sets of top ear pieces and headphones and it was real low.
The DSP manager prescribed above helped tho.

voodoo works because the inbuilt AMP can be controlled on a wolfson; other software that is universal on all hardware audio solutions like volume+ and others more than likely just adjusts gain.
the DSP manager fix is probably the best all round software based solution as it can be boosted via EQ ( not great cause it can cause clipping), gain adjustments and DRC.
software solutions are not ideal however and i would suggest an external portable amp if your headphones require a hifi level power source, but for most portable gear (Even high end) the N4 is perfectly fine.
The output of the speaker is fine but I definitely notice the volume is lower with headphones then the Gnex. I personally don't like DSP etc as it always makes things sound distorted. The NS with Voodoo was like the best ever sound I got on my headphones.

coming from a galaxy S II the N4 volume seems much lower for certain things. The in call volume is louder however things like notifications seem lower even at the highest level. Not stoked about it.
Haven't tried it but saw this:

Temporary fix for Low Volume
I just received my Nexus a few days ago, and noticed the low volume.THe speakerphone is ok, but music and youtube a bit low. It's funny how the "professional" reviewers say the speaker is loud.
Anyway, I found a temporary fix for the music volume,until Google gets off their a__es and fixes the problem.Download Player Pro Trial from the Play Store.
On the effects menu,crank up the bass and volume knobs ,leave the EQ off. When you turn on the reverb button the volume bumps up a few notches.It works on headphone and speaker volume and it's a nice music player too.I think the full version is 5 bucks.
i think this paid $1 app works, even on franco kernel to increase speaker volume, in my bathroom, music is pretty loud!
its made for faux kernels
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sMSwxLDEsImNvbS50ZWFta2FuZy5mYXV4c3BlYWtlciJd
I like this app better, It works with a large number of kernels.. even stock
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=aperture.ezekeel.experiencepro
Its been working well for me, also has the added ability to touchwake, for those times when the screen times out.
edit: It will boost speaker and headphones volume. You can also adjust mic gain and a number of other cool shizz. Seriously Check it out

As per gsmarena review audio(Music) is not loud enough. I know this, Samsung does the same to their phones. This is a big let down for me, won't hold back from buying this though.
Any suggestions on how i can improve the sound immediately after i buy this phone. Not sure what kind of dev support we may get for this phone.

The review stated the speaker. Other reviews have said the speaker is fine, and I haven't found a reviewer who hasn't thought it was fantastic with headphones. I believe he said it was a test unit and the software wasn't final, perhaps they will ramp up the volume.

May be you are right. One more week and we will have the device in AT&T stores (sep 13th). I will go test it and give an update in this thread.
i will maybe buy the G2 also and because it has S800 SoC i can ask someone who made the best soundmod or is still updating the best sound mod for hox and he is also making soundmods for his xperia z and the htc One ...so then i can ask which files to change for speaker output to see how far we can change but the speakers should be better WAY better then hox haha ...but i also hope to get his device...
A guy on head fi has reported great things on audio quality. He got a Korean model, which has smaller battery but SD card slot.

Anyone know if there are tweaks for Qualcomm chips to boost hardware volume, like it works on Galaxy w/Exynos & Wolfson?
Yep there are tweaks but zeroinfinity or me could take a look if full system dumb is available...normal headphone sound will be surely tweaked but for speaker we have to look then in

There definitely are tweaks, the Nexus 4 loudspeaker was horrible until flashing kernels that fixed it.
a quick question guys ...
How is speaker / audio level and quality compared to galaxy Note 2 ?
Im going to get my G2 tomorrow and i want to make sure i got everything covered up
The speaker is pretty loud for me. Almost as loud as note 2.i think sound quality is better on g2.

The most frustrating bit is they cap the max volume at IEM levels to 'protect' your hearing. If you want to use it as a line out or drive circumaural cans, they don't get loud enough.
Dear LG, I don't need you to protect me from myself. Let me have the full amp range.
I actually happened to compare the speaker to a friend's note 2 the other day. the note 2 was louder sitting on the table, but i've found the way it works best is when i'm holding the phone and cupping the speaker towards me. it makes an incredible difference, but i'm not sure what that does to quality. in that case it's louder than the note 2.
I wonder if there is a way to turn off the settings where it auto lowers the volume when something is plugged into it. I have a speaker I use in the restroom when in the shower, and the volume output is much much lower than with my Gnex. Also, I use my AUX cord to plug into my car (because thats the only way to get it onto my speakers, and the one part that is annoying- is that I can't access the volume buttons easily with it in the car dock.
I know they speaker has been moved to the bottom of the phone but does anyone know if it has been improved at all?
Can it go even louder than the note 2 and retain as good if not better quality?
I know not to expect some maricle but everything has got a bump up maybe the speaker did as well?

On my Note 2 (rooted) I was able to just change a .conf file in one of the directories and the loudness increased by about 300%. It is so loud that it actually hurts my ears when at full volume resting on my leg. There's absolutely no distortion. I can hear music clearly from one side of the house to the other.
So, I suspect that the Note 3 will be the same. Unfortunately, one must root the phone to make a change to the .conf file.
This guy didn't feel the speaker was significantly different from the Note 2.

i too agree speaker not much different
Does anyone know how the external speakers compare on the s7 to the s6 edge or s6 edge plus? I was hoping for something a bit louder and better sounding this time around.
I wouldn't hold your breath, history has shown that Samsung don't really view device speaker quality as being overly important.

Well that stinks. Though, oddly the s6 edge+ actually had (marginally) lower volume compared to the s6 edge. So I figured maybe they'd change things around again.
I'll be happy if it's on par with the note 4.

Me too my note 4 is super loud and clear same goes for blutooth calls and music and any cans plugged into the phone.
When I tried out the S7 Edge volume in the Samsung store, it was loud and clear. I was impressed. I have never tried the volume on the s6 so I couldn't comment on the comparison.
I tried the s7 edge at a Vodafone store. It was just as loud or louder than my Nexus 5 with faux sound. I could hear the YouTube video over all the people in the store. I was impressed.
Having the speak apparently be at the bottom of the phone instead of the BACK is a big improvement coming from a GS5, IMO.
I wonder for those who have tested the speakers whether you have used the HTC devices with front facing speakers, how does the s7 edge compare to them? I ask as if I was to get the S7 edge, I'd be coming from the HTC One M9+.

I can understand the loudness - but when your comparing to the front facing speakers its not a contest. Quality is not even close and with the front facing you can set the device down anywhere and hear it - the S7 you have to really point it in the direction you want to hear it the clearest. I really wish they would have enabled the earpiece as a second speaker - even if it isn't as loud as the bottom speaker.

Again, thanks for the heads up.
So now that I got the device I can answer my own question, and for whomever it may be useful to.
The s6 edge+ and the s7 edge has the same (external speaker) max volume as far as I can tell. Music plays on average around ~90DB. This is slightly lower than the original s6 edge. That said the s7 edge does sound a little fuller to my ears, but again that's might just be placebo. For all I know it's the same exact speaker.
Just got this on release day, s6 edge to the s7 edge, the volume on the s6 was WAYYYYYY louder, my ringtone, text, playing music on an aux cable, everything was so much louder on the s6 edge its so weird the difference, maybe i just got a crappy one, because i have other things wrong with this phone, but definitely a difference in volumes
Think the loudspeaker isnt as good due to the waterproof feature
Is anyone having sound issues, i find the lg g6 has very low volume. i have to put it half way just to enjoy content.
Sounds about right
Compared to G5 it's very loud. I find myself turning it down rather than turning it up. The speaker is very loud compared to other phones I've had. Maybe not the best quality, but loud nonetheless.

For me usually less then half would been enough for volume. but for some reason i have to have it almost half or even more to enjoy content. I ask a representative from my carrier to help me and told me that they were getting a lot reports of bad volume.
Sound on the phone is okay, but when connected via bluetooth in the car, I would prefer it to be louder.
