SA Labs Equalizer for volume fix

[tmdao13]

volume+ works perfectly if you have no other equalizer installed. i had to take out my dsp pack for player pro, clear cache under app management and it works fine

make sure volume+ is the only sound management you have running and it'll have no conflict

Works for me! I think like someone else mentioned that Volume+ was more a placebo effect. Also I think this EQ app may drain the battery. Normally I lose 7-8% overnight on the phone when not plugged in but this time I went from 55% down to 18% when I woke up, never seen that before.

well gave this a try but it eventually shut iself off or the phone turned it off for me. it was working for a while then few hours later volume was back to normal. you have to keep opening it cause os seems to kill it at some point.

welcome to the boards.
Poweramp, my music player has an eq in it. Will that affect volume + or this app?

I worried about the same thing, but i've been running the app for 18 hours now and no noticeable drain and the OS hasn't tried to kill it.

so this works for ringer volume as well or just media?

Uninstalled Volume+ (which I kinda got to work) and installed Equalizer and Bam,... works great! Thanks for the post!

I have used Volume+ for quite a while on my Asus Transformer and have been pretty satisfied with it. After reading this thread I downloaded Equalizer for my GNex and was blown away by it! I now have it installed on my Transformer as well and the difference is amazing.

So this just for multimedia?

 

[SSHGuru]

Seems to work for everything.

Just have to be sure to start it backup after a reboot. Thats the only thing I found.

i love this app, way better than volume + where it did increase volume, but sounded like .

im having a problem though, while im using the equalizer, it does work... however no matter what im doing it is not saving the volume increase. I look in my current processes and it is def running in the background. I am following instructions by pressing store, then home button. Not back. Anyone can help me out?

 

[Eggshen]

Thanks very much this app works much better. So far the only app that doesn't seem to work with this is poweramp.

Anyone running this for a few days can comment on battery usage? Since it's running constantly in the background.

I am interested in everyone's findings as well.

When I first got my gNex, I added widgets, volume+ etc...battery drained in no time. Wiped and just loaded main apps, no widgets yet, no system modifying apps (like Volume+, lightflow, etc...) and my battery life is awesome. Something was killing it, just have not figured out what it was

same here, ever since getting this equalizer, lightflow, simi clock my battery's been draining faster. i dont know if i'm still getting effects from the signal problems yesterday (been on 4G w/1bar consistently). android OS is pretty high at 33%. display is on automatic.

this question should probably be on a new or different existing thread but do we need to download flash from the market? it was one of the apps that didnt automatically download for me when i got the phone so i manually downloaded it along with some other apps. anyone know if there's a list of apps that we dont need to have on the device due to ICS compatibility?

 

[MikeNY]

Still killing my battery.

 

[SSHGuru]

Running it now battery is fine application doesn't show on list

I have it installed not setup yet and an icon is on my screen.

I don't know what you guys are talking about.. I installed this and set the settings according to the screen shot in the original post.

While the volume is louder, it's so distorted! Go into sounds and play some of the stock android sounds. It sounds like the speaker is busted!!

The regular click sounds you get when you push buttons on the phone, that sounds fine. The click when you shut off the screen -- that sounds fine too. But all the sound effects you get from notifications sound terrible!!!

This made the sound on the phone noticeably louder. Very nice find.
