Great News!!! :)

As I said, my biggest need was hearing my phone ring, having conversations on speaker phone and watching videos. But even at full volume, I wouldn't even know my phone was ringing, unless I had it next to me and forget about hearing all the rest! Heck, watching YouTube videos at full volume, I still simply could not make out what was being said!

And as for V4A, putting quality aside and just speaking of quantity of sound (volume), while it always boosted the volume of everything across the board on all of my previous phones (all Samsungs), V4A was zero help on this LG (for volume)!

As I said, I can't understand how a manufacturer could put out a phone with such obvious sound volume problems!!!

I did however, use the "16bit=true" Build.Prop tweak that you told me to use, which did help and is appreciated muchly, thank you, but it did not, all by itself solve the problem (and you didn't say it would). But combined with what follows, the problem is now 100% fixed! :)

And so now on with my great news…..

I was wrong about not having the file that you created for me to fit my sound needs, which again, were (in order of importance);

* Ringer - To hear it from other rooms.

* Speaker Phone Conversations

* Notifications

* Hear videos

* Both Phone Speakers working well.

It turns out that I did have it backed up!

I just happened across it this afternoon!

What happened was that I had renamed the file extension from it's original "xml"

to "xml.1st.phone.ph.spkrs", so I would know it instantly when I saw it. I had just forgotten to put it in the proper folder, where I have been keeping these files.

So anyway, once I saw it there, I went to work and renamed the original to simply "xml.org" at the end, copied the file you had made available for me in there and renamed the extension back to just "xml" and then made sure to turn the Volume Down to about halfway for all of the Volume Sliders and then Powered Off.

I then waited for about a minute and then did a Power On and gave it 5 minutes to make sure everything that loads at Startup finished loading and then tried it out.

Man, what a difference!!! The volume at halfway was considerably louder than it was at full volume before the changes were made! And now I don't ever even need to go to full volume! About 35%-40% is fine for nighttime and during the day, I never need to go up past the 2/3 mark!

I am finally a happy camper with the volume of the sound! And the speakers (both) sound decent for phone speakers!

You may not remember, but I had previously mentioned that I have an Android business, meaning that I work with developers all the time, on everything Android app related, from concept and design, to testing, to fixing issues, to marketing and promotion and everything else in between as well and I simply HAVE to be able to get these calls (hear ringing) and I'm almost always on Speaker Phone when we're having conversations so that I can keep my hands free and so obviously I have to be able to hear what they're saying!

This was VERY IMPORTANT to me and you really did a TERRIFIC job of supporting my needs as a user (and really, an entire group), when you had no obligation whatsoever to do so and on top of that, you required nothing in return! But if your OP has a "Donate" button, then I'm definitely going to send something your way at some point between tonight and tomorrow.

Thank You for Everything, including Your Patience with Dumb*ss Me!!! :)

TTYL
