Volume+

[MattMJB0188]

Just wondering if anyone purchased this app? I think its great for boosting the volume up but I wanted to know if anyone had any recommended settings? I notice it doesn't work for the speakerphone with wi-fi calling enabled. I have everything enabled and the speakerphone volume is still pretty low at full volume? Notifications are very loud along with my ringtone. Thanks

Ok I've had some time to play with this and I noticed with WI-FI calling in call volumes will be low. Other than that this app works wonders and makes a huge difference, especially watching YouTube videos. Here are the settings I am using which works great.

Speaker Settings

Speaker Modifications ENABLED
VR Effects ENABLED
Virtual Room Effect ENABLED

Basic Settings

EQ Settings GOOD QUALITY
Volume Level +8
Bass Enhance +1
Virtual Room 0

Speaker Modifications ENABLED

Band 1 16,5
Band 2 16,5
Band 3 16 7
Band 4 16,8
Band 5 16,9
Volume Level 10
Bass Level 1
VR Level 1


I have also noticed the higher you put the bass the more distorted it sounds. Hopefully someone can recommend even better settings.

Thanks for the suggestion, I can actually hear notifications now!!

Great app for Sensation, but how does it affect battery life? Running an EQ 24/7 is bound to draw extra juice. Many music player apps warn that using the EQ will drain extra battery.

I like the above preset numbers, but I feel like they could use just a little more tweaking. Anyone know what freq the band numbers refer to specifically?

PowerAMP music player has a preset called "Phone Speaker (Loud)" that does a great job playing music over the speaker. Looking at the profile it seems to lower the bass slightly, raise treble slightly & boost the entire midrange somewhat evenly.

Do you have a Market link? I searched and came back with 6000 results...

Not to sound stupid, but how do we get it for free in a rom if we can't root this phone yet?

It's not in a ROM, it's in a ROM forum. The developer offers it for free, mainly for testing. He has a donate version also. And you have a payed version in the market for technically challenged people, or for newbs.

Thanks for the answer on that; just after I posted that, in another thread I found a similar answer about sifting through the xda forums for apk files.

I can confirm that this app does work with the settings above. The difference is incredible.

I like the volume results on this app for media, ringtones, etc....but are you all getting a nice boost for speakerphone voice calls also? I don't seem to be getting the boost here...

Thanks, the volume quality on Netflix is A LOT better now.

I changed all the values to the ones MattMJB stated worked for him...am I the only one or something because I noticed ABSOLUTELY NO DIFFERENCE in any volume for anything? In-call, Ringtones, YouTube, NetFlix...NO DIFFERENCE.

I entered all values the same way in volume plus and then tried it w/o volume plus and noticed no differences....

Its also important that the app is always running. Make sure it is by opening up the built in task manager. This morning after a reboot I had to re-open it.
