Volume Boost for Evo 3D

**dishun71** · 07-09-2011, 06:36 PM

Found a great app from the market that made my Evo 3d a lot louder!!! [SIZE="4"] But be careful not to blow your speaker[/SIZE]. I made small adjustments until the sound was just right. The app is called volume+ (Sound Boost) you have a (speaker setting) (headset setting) and (Bluetooth setting). I only adjusted the speaker setting

I enabled speaker modifications, turned on the VR effects, turned volume level to +8 , turned EQ setting to treble boost, and adjusted the other EQ settings the way i liked them.
here is the link. hope it works for you guys like it did for me...

I tried it, didn't notice the difference?

i noticed a big difference when playing movies, using the speaker phone, pandora ect. Try playing around with the settings a little more. Make sure you check mark the VR effects, and enable the speaker modification setting. If you want a louder speaker make sure you are making changes to the (speaker setting section) only. I didn't use the virtual room effect setting.

Actually it does work... Good app until they fix it :-)

**Clipp** · 07-09-2011, 10:40 PM

Can the speaker handle the boost? Or is there a good chance of blowing it?

**Sabertwist** · 07-09-2011, 11:09 PM

Thanks for this info

There was another post about changing a setting that required getting the mhl number from Sprint. It does help. This program may help more though.

that app is great i can hear my speaker very well now and it sounds clear!!!

**FrostyGTA** · 07-10-2011, 10:00 PM

Huge difference, thanks for the suggestion.

**briankeene** · 07-11-2011, 12:24 PM

Much improved! Can hear videos without needing headphones, very clear audio!

**aznmode** · 07-11-2011, 03:51 PM

What settings are you guys using? I've kinda given up on it and just stuck with DSP which works pretty good already.

That is a good question since I have allready returned my first one due to a blown speaker. On the other hand, HTC could be cutting back on power to the speaker to help with battery life. This can simply cause distortion which will more then likely blow the speaker any ways. So, your dambed if you do or your dambed if you dont.

Im no engineer but that soundes like a pretty good explination!

Wow the app works thank goodness. I just used what the op said. Just $1.60 so pretty cheap.

What app did you use?

**huix0018** · 07-23-2011, 08:35 PM

Does it work on phone calls?

**confuzion** · 07-26-2011, 10:21 PM

Great app!!

**jean15paul** · 07-27-2011, 06:18 PM

I don't know if this accomplishes the same thing, but I seen 2 way to improve call volume/quality.

1) "Settings" --> "Call" --> Check the box next to "Hearing aids"
This should boost the call volume. (I haven't done this to verify)

2) dail "##data#
select "edit mode"
input your MSL (you'll have to get it from sprint customer service or follow the guide here: I got mine from customer service very easily just by asking, but sometimes they are hesitant to give it out.)
select "Advanced Options"
enable "EVRC-B"
change "Home Orig" and "Roam Orig" to "EVRC-B"
tap menu and save changes

EVRC-B is the more advanced cellular voice encoding format, and should improve your call quality. FYI, if you for whatever reason you don't like the change or are uncomfortable with it you can always change it back (i.e. we didn't make any permanent changes).

FYI, I changed to EVRC-B and have been satisfied with the call quality, so I didn't turn on the "hearing aid" option

You should open the Volume+ app (remember don't press the back button this will close the app)--> Press the Home Button when finished with the settings, Check Speaker Modifications, check Virtual Room Effect, Go to EQ settings I have my setting on "Selective" (you can choose the setting that is best for you),

Volume level (I have mine on +8 (this is 8 more then the EVO 3D's top volume) with the new update for the Volume+ app it goes all the way up to +14 (wow, nice, but like I said mine is on +8), Bass Enhance I have mine on +2, Virtual Room +6, Check the next Speaker Modifications (under Advanced Settings-will automatically override), under EQ Settings- WARNING-be careful I have: Low 39 (don't worry these setting go all the way up to 200) Low/Mid 98, Mild 144, Mid/High 160, High 170, Volume level 10 (goes up to 15), Bass Boost 5 (goes up to 15), Echo/Delay 4 (goes up to 15)

I have the same setting for the "Headset Setting" settings for the headphones. These are my settings. I had them set like this for the last week and a half no problems. Remember the Volume+ app must be running in order for these setting to be effective. Most people close the program on purpose or by mistake then claim the app doesn't work (any app that is not turned on "won't work" Lol)

Wow that did the trick, by not hitting the back button and closing the app. I've been playing with this volume issue for about a month now and finally have a solution.

Do you have to do this trick on every reboot? I ask cause I switch batteries often which turns off the phone.
