Low speaker volume on the NS4G

[AndroidOne]

The main issue I have with my new Nexus is the low max volumes on this phone. Comming from an Evo, this thnig is way too quiet.

I feel the maximum volume for media playback and ringtones could be a tad higher. I have no major problems with the earpiece volume during calls (in fact I have mine set to 50% or lower for most calls), but I have read some have complained about this one as well. I have no problems with BT volume levels, but I only use my car's BT speakerphone feature or audio BT headsets for music playback that have additional volume rocker on them (Sony).

I have this issue moslty when I playback podcasts through my loudspeaker or with my ringtones/notifications and alarms ~ I have missed calls and SMS alerts while on moderately noisy places do to the low ringer volumes. I have my ringer/notifications and media volumes at 100%, I also have my systerms volume at 100%.

So this is my problem, so now, any ideas about how to address this. I have already send notice of this to Sprint, Google and Samsung, but I am afraid not much will be done. I am interested in knowing if any of you have found any programs, hacks or ROMs that address this issue.

Well, when the Pre was first released the volume of the ringers and such was a common complaint and was addressed via software updates. One workaround was using software such as mp3gain to boost the volume of ringtones/alerts.

Edit:
Here was the post on precentral that talked about using mp3gain:

I made a report on this to Sprint and Samsung and left messages on the Google support site. It would be a good idea if we all complain about this so we can get this addressed on future updates.

Is really bad for a phone to be good at most other things except alerting you of an incoming call or message... that is really inexcusable.
