So, many of you are aware of how abysmally low the speaker volume is on the phone after getting the JB update. Unfortunately all the information on it is scattered among several different posts and threads, and I just wanted to get some clear answers and use this as an informational post for others who are annoyed by this bug.
What, if anything, do we know about why it happens? Is there a definitive fix system-wide, or do I have to use volume boosting apps? I run franco kernel, are there going to be any compatibility issues with proposed fixes? I like using mostly stock JB, can I get a ROM that makes minimal changes to the original while still fixing the volume issue?
After randomly doing a search for volume fix a few minutes ago I saw this. Did search for same exact reason (gnex 4.1.1). Awesome beats (one of multiple equalizer apps) is said to work. I'm gonna try it in the morning (so as not to have a very annoyed girlfriend at 4am). There's probably a good amount more info on this. As for the last part..pure-ish 4.1.1 aosp Roms are very pleasing...like buttah lol.

If you have Franco.kernel, download his app from the play store (it costs a few bucks, not super expensive). In the settings tab there is an option to increase the max sound volume. I recommend setting it to 2; if you set it to 3 sometimes the sound will cut out on max volume.

I have no idea if this is correct information or not, so take it with a grain of salt, but I read earlier today in the Franco thread that that setting only affects the headphone volume, not speaker volume. I can tell you it does nothing for the volume on my GNex (speaker). I love this phone dearly, but I absolutely hate the low volume. I never have music on my phone, but I use the speaker phone multiple times a day while at work in my truck. I've yet to find a fix that actually increases the speaker volume on calls, and I've tried just about every ROM and tweak around. I'm beginning to think the people that swear some of these fixes work are just having a placebo effect.

It seemed to make my speaker sound louder, but I am also using it in tandem with the AwesomeBeats mod for AndroidMe ROM, so it might be one or the other.

I remember reading that too. It does nothing for my GNex speaker either. Volume+ works though. I just tried it yesterday. It definitely increases the volume but only so much before it starts distorting the sound pretty bad. But it is a godsend volume wise for sure.

I can confirm that Franco Kernel sound boost only increases headphone volume. I'm just waiting for Volume+ to update...

The dev says it doesn't work with the system stuff (like ringtones, notifications, etc.) Works for music volume on JB though. Check it out, seems like a lot of people with various JB roms are using it successfully. It's kinda hard to be sure it's not working without trying it. I assure you..again..I'm using it..it works for music. Re-read what the dev said.

I try Volume+ on my jelly bean nexus. Only the music volume work, not the system volume (like ringtones). I missed so many call because the ringtone vol is not loud enough even at max vol level. I know I can install ROM, but I prefer stock right now.
There are no mods available as of now for boosting ringtone or notification volume for galaxy nexus on jelly bean. All the mods like awesomebeats/volume+ and also the default musicfx only work on music volume.
I have tried all the mods on all JB Roms which claim to boost ringtone volume, but none really work. The effect if at all is very marginal.
The problem lies with the way google has implemented Jelly Bean. The solution has probably go to come from them until one of the geeks here manage a workaround.
Lets see if volume+ developer manages to release a working version.
I am currently using volume+ on AOKP milestone6(ICS 4.0.4) to great effect.
There is no point in upgrading to JB unless the ringtone volume level problem is addressed. What is the use in owning a phone which you cannot here ringing.
Really need a stock solution. The reason I have the Galaxy Nexus is to avoid flashing madness with the stock experience. Is it a tracked bug?

I am in India too and I got the update. I have unlocked the bootloader and I was surprised that I got the OTA working without requiring locking it. Maybe it is a requirement for running RUU only. All I had to do was flash back the stock recovery for the OTA flashing to work.
Edit:
Update gave me a new baseband and that renders the RUU I have useless. Started getting reboots when answering phone calls. Went back my trusted modaco vanilla and a kernel I have built updated to kernel verrsion 3.0.38

For heavy gaming the Ace 2 would be probably better (2 core, but 800mhz vs 'ghz simple core, and MALI400 vs Adreno205, and more RAM). The question is that the look of the phone will be enough for you
music player
hey folks i got a new problem while playing music on headset on my HTC one v updated to 2.09.720.1. it knocks in every song like a sharp noisy spikes. i restart the phone and song continue to play where i left flawless but after 30 odd seconds of play song stops playing and when i play the song the same knocking sound appears... anyone having this problem?? what should i do? it happened after the update.
The new update gives boot loops
I had updated to the new update! now the phone restarts every few hours and also when the phone RAM gets a bit loaded! has any 1 experienced this? What should i do? I factory formatted , still no good results! its still rebooting..
Should i instal the previous update? how / or Should i go for the new Cynpogen/MIUI?

Well I updated mine successfully in the UK. my first impressions are as follows. First installed without wiping data and the screen awake bug was there. phone would not sleep. always kept awake with screen turned off. reinstalled software with wiping data and although the issue is still there, its not as bad. Battery life has definitely improved. Handset and user experience is a lot smoother. Quite impressed actually. There is a wifi bug. Connection is fine but signal strength is not there so wifi will disconnect every few minutes. was fine before update. Quick launch button is okay. its a hit and miss affair. works 2 out of 3 times. Widgets load a lot faster. No new apps apart from Wisepilot is now called Wisepilot for Xperia. No other noticeable improvements. Will give it a few days to see if there are any more bugs or if anything else has improved. Really annoyed as I don't understand what is keeping the phone awake. I've done everything to sort this out but clearly its a bug that Sony has not been successful in resolving. This eats up irrelevant battery. Although its not as bad as it was on the previous fw I was on. Any help would be greatly appreciated in rectifying this problem. One more thing, camera focus has improved vastly as has face recognition and auto scene recognition. Focusing is a lot quicker and better

Flashed the .45 cz rom yesterday with complete wipe & factory reset. Everything works smoother/faster on this new firmware wrt previous ICS versions. But my biggest concern i.e quicklaunch bug is still there (although it seems improved than before). Bravia engine still doesn't work for me on any ICS rom. Still checking the battery backup on this one. I wonder why many still face these two issues on ICS (and not on any GB roms) .

you mean Home launcher supports landscape mode?
Anybody got root access to the latest firmware yet?
home launcher was also able to be used in landscape mode since GB. Usually this is only possible when connected to HDMI. But I also recognized that it also works without HDMI connected sometimes. Might be a bug that sometimes it is also possible to use it in landscape without hdmi connected.
At the moment i recognize a shorter battery life yesterday. Today it already seems to get better.

Should be caused by switching to low frequencies.
Anyway It hadn't happened since I flashed JB leak
Sent from my LT26i using xda app-developers app
Uhmm are you sure? I noticed through syatem tuner that the phone does it at high freq (when both of cpu are working)but gave me a moltitude of "errors"in the log so i can't really say what cause this.
You have no stuttering of music when loading fb? Twitter? Chrome??? If it's low. Cpu freq why my phone does it and yours doesn't?
The stutter, as i said,it's not terrible but there is in fact stuttering.
Another thing is, it never does it twice on the same situation, it's almost always when opening something for the first time.
Anyway thanks for the feedback!!

RE:JB LEAK
I am having the Same issue , its just the JB leak being slightly Unstable , its probably Audio Libary issue and wont be fixxed unless you some how have the JB source and know the problem exactly, or you could just wait till JB is actually released
anyway , System tuner is a memory heavy app , make sure your systCTL is setup for more free Ram, it should lower the amount of times it skips(maybe 1 time then none more)

the problem isn't strictly with JB and i know this is only a leak thing is i'm having this issue on every rom i try(stock .55,pac,CM and now JB)
that's why i tried to use system tuner to discover the issue
dave
Try this
how about this
Unlock your bootloader
Flash Stock Kernel/ROM , data/cache/dalvik
and EVEN then if it still happens then its your XS not the Firmware , it could be the audio jack or any thing dealing with the audio. i dont think you can fix it besides cleaning out the dust from your XS and seeing then... you never know

that's the first thing I did when having the problem,i was still on stock so I used PCC to repair the O.S.
I did this at least 4 times since i bought it(6 months now),changed kernel,rom wiped everything and back to stock (.55) but the problem was/is still here.
we are almost at the end of may so JB will arrive soon,so i will relock my BL and reflash stock soon(i might do it today).
I tried different head set,headphones,listening to music using the speakers nothing change.
anyway once again thanks for the feedback and the help.

Dear all
After one month using my Xperia Acro S updated to JellyBean I realized that the proximity sensor is not working.
During a call the screen doesn't turn off avoiding touch on the screen, but before the update, with ICS, it was working very well.
What I tried to do, but without result:
1st recover JB by device
2nd recover JB by PC Companion
3rd flash JB by Flashtool
I tried to Google, but I didn't find a solution to fix this problem for Acro S...
I tried *#*#7378423#*#* and tested the sensor, and it always shows "off"
I tried lots of softwares that make changes to the sensor, and they don't work (recognize the sensor?)
After sometime I realized that the problem may be the JB and not the device, as the ICS was working, so I flashed to ICS again to confirm. As I expected the sensor was working properly: I typed *#*#7378423#*#* again and checked the sensor and it changes to "on" everytime I cover the sensor.
Somebody is experiencing the same problem? Could you fix it? How?
Thanks...

Try to reFLASH again and do a total wipe clean from recovery, including dalvik's cache.
FTF file

Hi...
I proceeded as suggested and it still doesn't work. I flashed with the new Flashing tool 0.9.11.0 by Bin4ry and Androxyde and the sensor is not working.
I flashed to ICS again and it works very well, I don't understand...
What I noticed is that the sensor seems to work together with the light sensor, in the same position. Somebody knows if the sensor is the same? In the ICS the proximity sensor works when I cover the same part of light sensor (left from the speaker) and not in the right between the speaker and front camera.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks
Nobody knows?

Hi bluechip850
Thanks for the suggestion, but as I told I tried this and the sensor is working well in ICS.
By the way, I'm still using ICS due to the sensor is not working in JB.
I really would like to use JB, mainly because I noticed that the battery in ICS gets low faster that JB.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks
Wait for the new update.

My phone is a Xperia Acro S (LT26W) JB 4.1.2
I need to power the screen off manually every time I want to answer or make a call. I just fast press the button of the power just to turn off the screen and avoid to touch the screen accidentally.
When I finish the call I also need to fast press the button again so I can access the screen options again.
It is so boring, but I just found this solution until the next update. I didn't find any other solution or software to change or turn on the proximity sensor. I actually found some scripts, but I don't have experience to change the system and I don't want to kill my phone, so I decided to wait to the next update instead of downgrade to ICS again, which was working well, because of the improvements that JB provides.
If you find some information that can fix the proximity sensor, please tell me...

well forgot to say, was searching on net and got that infor about software "smart screen off" it is made by someone from here on XDA. Decided to give it a try, installed it from playstore, it makes one icon on deesktop which function like simple button, when u press button proxim. sensor starts working and acting normaly, when u press it again it switch off so proxim sensor again not working as it is JB bug so JB keeps it off all the time when there is no other software which will enabled it directly, so go go try it I hope it will work for you as well.
Didn't work

I wouldn't like to say that just the software couldn't work.
The proximity sensor in actually disabled in my phone. I need to turn it on first to use any software to manage the proximity sensor. I thought that this software you told would enable the sensor, not just manage it.
Anyway thanks, if you have another suggestion I would be pleased to try
It seems like somewhere in the system a value to have the proximity sensor on during a call is set to off, find where its located and copy it over from ICS to jb and you should be good to go

Nice idea, but can you explain or send a link how to access the system and make this changes?
Thanks
This is just an idea, if someone has a build.prop on the same phone and same version that has no issues with proximity post it here then OP flash to jb delete your build.prop and paste theres in your system folder. Else you could try copying your build.prop from ICS and pasting it in jb. Supposably that is where the issue lies on some phones. You may also want to flash a jb firmware that isn't stock, any ROM from the xperia s section should work. For editing the build.prop you need root and a root browser then go into system and at the bottom is build.prop. you may also want to read your build.prop and see if there are any lines for proximity in there
It seems as though you're not in touch with the android system, no offence, so I'd take the easy route and flash a jelly bean firmware from the across s section, this should work perfectly fine for you because its simply the stock ROM that's the issue and had a regression and most devs will fix this in their ROM.

I actually have my phone rooted, but the system folder just shows PIM folder
Should I do something more than just root?
----edit----
Sorry I didn't see, I should have root browser... installing to try
I'd just flash a jb ROM from the acro s section that's not stock
In my sony Ion I have two Proximity tweaks in the rom I use, try adding these and see if it helps at all,
ro.lge.proximity.delay=25
mot.proximity.delay=25

Well at my lt26i it is same, prox sensor in settings is always off, so it is disabled and can not be enabled, but still software I said somehow when I press button for software enable it do enable prox. sensor and it working but its controled by software not by systme itself. And I dont getting it as with software enabled system still showing prox sensor as disabled.

Thanks for the explanation, but in my Acro S it didn't work very well. In my oppinion is more effective to press power button quickly to turn off the screen, because sometimes the software seems that is not running and it doesn't turn the screen off automatically....
