There was no need to start another thread on this but, hell, it seems these days everyone is doin it....Anyway, if volume+ and eq doesn.t work for you, atm you can.t do very much about it, you can either ask for another unit ( i agree the volume is low on sensation, compared to others, but frankly i did manage to get good results with volume+ and eq...) or wait until there will be an unlocked bootloader so that the custom roms can fix this issue (if they can, that is)

Volume+ 1.7.3 lets you set it even louder. +10 volume +5 bass and put sound on Good Quality. Makes it louder than my evo. Leave off VR stuff and other, also dont run the separate equalize app it makes the sound lower.

Thanks for that, I couldnt work out for the life of me whats was wrong, I could not get the volume to boost no matter what I tried, I just realised that the Speaker Modifications was enabled and one of the sliders was off default..

Now I got louder ringtones, so thanks for pointing that out..

Volume + sound boost ( search ,,volume sound boost,, and there should be an icon with a black volume dial ) and the version is 1.7.3 100%

Equalizer ( as it says )

Volume + has some issues with incoming calls, when it Force Closes and it is quite annoying because you have to press the popup dialog before answering the phone. The developers says it is fixed since 1.7.2 but i still get the error sometimes...

Equalizer on the other hand works for me ( i-ve made a custom profile with all the levels at maximum)

^ yeah hes got it. its actual volume+ not volume plus on market.

Like i said tho with equalizer enabled your not going to get much louder. As for FC issues i havent experienced them yet
