Im trying to get the nexus one and i was wondering if anyone had this and resolved it

Heres my post at google support

http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/android/thread?tid=2501d2f2ae1b8f3c&hl=en

Any idea how to fix this?
[Nexus One General] RamGuy:
Is it just me, or does the Nexus One seem to have a somewhat low ring volume?

When some one calls me, or I get a text message or new e-mail or any other notification of some sort I'm barley able to hear it when I'm at work?

Tried to crank the notification and ring volume to the maximum, but it's still way lower than what I'm used to with every other phone I've had before?

If I dare compare it to when I used my iPhone 3G at work, I had the volume set to about 70% and I was still able to hear it loud and clear every single time?
[Nexus One General] jsoverson:
I have the complete opposite experience with my phone; I have to keep the volume at around 40% in order for it to be remotely acceptable volume in the workplace. At full volume every call and notification is so loud that I am almost embarrassed for drawing the attention of everyone remotely close to me.

The speaker is not of the highest quality, in my opinion, but it is damn loud.

I don't know of any secret options that affect ringtone volume, so I am curious to hear other people's testimonies to see if there is a widespread difference.
[Nexus One General] Raymond77:
I agree with the opening post, my Nexus One is too damn quiet, I've missed loads of call and text message notifications. Mind you, I do tend to keep my phone in it's sleeve, so that is obviously a contributing factor, but even outside of the sleeve the speaker is really quiet.

I had a Nokia 5800 previously, which had exceptional speakers - loud and very good sound quality, so maybe it's just that I'm used to something a lot louder.

Although, my only other HTC experience was the Touch Pro (which I hated with an unholy passion), and the speakers on that were really crap too.
[Nexus One General] spypack:
I also agree with OP. It is really low for me even at max volume i miss a lot of texts and some calls. I do keep the phone in my pants but with my previous phones was way louder.
[Nexus One General] galaxys:
It's lower volume than I was use to with other devices. Not sure if there is a way to pump it up some?
[Nexus One General] gunnner:
I've noticed that some of the ringtones are much more audible than others. Cricket, for example, "carries" pretty well, as a sound. I'm guessing you've tried them all though, if you're not happy with the volume.

FWIW, for various notifications, I have Cricket, Captain's Log and Pizzicato in use, all of which seemed fairly audible to me. For sure more so than the default one.

Going through them again now, I'm wondering if some of the other notifications haven't been made a bit louder/more shrill in today's update. Damn updates. Make me imagine all kinds of things have changed ;)

My workplace is a lab, so it's pretty quiet. I might well have complaints about the volume if I worked in a noisier place. And I honestly don't receive a bunch of calls on it, just emails and SMS.
[Nexus One General] Blaiz:
Rediculously Quiet

Well I’m a bit of a gadget nut, and own pretty much every top phone on the market. Huge fan of this phone but the ring volume is pretty much a killer. At maximum volume its way less than any phone I have at 50% volume. I miss calls all the time and therefore have dropped it as my goto phone. What purpose does a phone have if you can’t hear it ring. Seems crazy to me that all my other WM HTC phones are acceptable or crazy loud. Just to hear my phone in my pocket I have had to make a MP3 ring tone mixing it at max volume, that was my only solution but it’s still not loud enough and now the speaker begins to distort and crackle the sound, making me think there will be no soft fix for this.

Huge Disappointment
[Nexus One General] vegetaleb:
That's the main reason I want to get a Desire rather than N1
[Nexus One General] firerock:
And you heard Desire ring tone?
[Nexus One General] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
I highly doubt the Desire would fix any of these issues. It's the same phone essentially.

Uhh. I usually keep my Milestone at 1 notch from bottom and I can hear it clearly. Today I missed 3 calls on my N1 with it 1 notch from the bottom. I later realized I probably need it around 50-60% volume to hear it well for a near 100% catch rate. Forget noisy places like the subway. If I put my Milestone at 50-60%, it'll rock my office.

I've gone through an iPhone 3GS, Nokia N82, Moto Milestone, and the N1 ranks dead LAST in terms of ring volume. That speakerphone is just terrible. 40-50% on the N1 can't even compare to a Droid at like 20% or so.

The same goes with the Earpiece. I can make calls perfectly fine at 10-20% on my Milestone whereas I gotta crank up to 80% or so on my N1. Unacceptable.
[Nexus One General] vegetaleb:
Some people reported a significant raise in volume when using Desire ROM on N1 and if you look at the Desire pics you will notice that the speaker openings are larger than the 3mm one of N1
[Nexus One General] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
That would be good =) maybe I should ask some people about this more. The voice on the N1 also sounds very tiny through the earpiece (you know like when you turn your volume way too high on earbuds and the sound leaks out?). The Milestone seems more stereo and filling as if I'm in a room carrying out a normal conversation. I hope the Desire can address these issues.
[Nexus One General] vegetaleb:
See what I mean on the attached pics?

Also perhaps google asked HTC to do it quiet for safety reasons, the Legend which is the little brother of the Desire has a very loud volume...
[Nexus One General] Blaiz:
I would think it has to be very high on the hardware development importance list to include a decent speaker especially with many using these phones in conference call situations these days. This volume on the Nexus phone seems crazy low and indeed we are throwing conspiracy theories out there but HTC are going to sell the Desire, the exact same machine (little less cool and with that weird touch nav) out onto the market right in Google's face for 200$ more! My bet is yes the hardware on this Desire is the grade 'A' stuff including the speaker.

Please let there be some kind of code fix for the Nexus 1,

Anyone had any experience with the Desire Rom on Nexus 1 regarding volume increase?
[Nexus One General] NexusDro:
Someone on the Android Help forum said that the loudspeaker is programmed to output 75% of its maximum volume. Can someone verify that?
[Nexus One General] faraz1992:
Just convert the ringtone file using any converter and maximize the volume in settings... I tried it once with TVC but the sound became distorted ;)
[Nexus One General] Meltus:
I'm not sure where someone got that from.

I've been searching through the Nexus source and, as far as i can tell, the audio is all controlled via the kernel and nothing else, volume wise anyway. I'm not sure why Google changed HTCs method (which was easy as hell to hack) but they've definitely removed it.
[Nexus One General] r8zer:
how do we open the kernel to get to these sound files, if someone walks me through it, i will hack the files, i dont care about htc copyright, i want a phone i can hear ringing.

PM me if you want me to, and i wont upload any copyright stuff here, i will host the file somewhere else ehhhm rapid shares cough cough

I have no idea where you got that from. Yesterday the phone was 528 pounds on Amazon UK. I just went and checked again and indeed the price has been lowered but still its 439 Pounds thats 655 US$.

Yeah you can't even hear the Nexus One. And when you do, it's a very tiny sounding speaker. Too bad the camera limits the volume, because if you had been here when I cranked the Milestone all the way up, you'd be like dude STFU it's hurting my ears.
[Nexus One General] vegetaleb:
Nobody tried the Desire ROM?
[Nexus One General] Blaiz:
Well indeed this thing's price is dropping like hot potato. Anyway I'm seeing nothing constructive come from this thread. The Nexus 1 is a far superior phone, and will continue to be, unfortunately i will have to deal with the ring volume, I'm sure I will manage its just disappointing. funny though how they tout this Desire thing as the next big thing, but without the many simple features and closer tie with Google the Nexus will surely give more end value. The Desire just ain’t worth the dosh not even at 387 Pounds still over 50$ more. I have obviously gone back from dissing the Nexus 1, but I am sure of one thing unless this Desire cranks out amazing volume and I mean cranks it out, well still and even then the Nexus is the better choice. don’t waste your dosh on your Desire put it into the Nexus 1, I’m sure Google will have some pleasant surprises . An about face? Yes,I guess I was just chuffed at the stupid level of volume on this thing, will continue to carry around 2 phones and Nexus 1 will be very difficult to replace even without any speaker.
[Nexus One General] henihazbay:
Hi all

Actually the subject speaks it self but,

As you probably know, after you install a custom ROM, you'll lose OTA eligibility which includes flash support for browser, bug fixes and much more.

Still, I know you'll keep on installing custom ROMs... So Convince me to install a custom ROM...
[Nexus One General] kylez64:
you lose (I was wrong you get OTA on custom roms) ota but anything OTA is gonna be on this site in seconds ;)
[Nexus One General] david1171:
When you are ready to void your warranty then install a custom ROM. What makes you think that these OTA updates won't magically find a place into custom ROMs?

With a custom ROM you get root access. You will never have root access with an OTA ROM, if you know enough about android and how to use root access then that should be enough for you.
[Nexus One General] SpyderMS:
Chances are, anything included in an OTA update will be on XDA (by way of custom ROMS) before it hits phones via OTA. For example, multi-touch in the browser was already in Cyanogen's Rom (and possibly others). Sure, maps didn't have it, but only cause Cyanogen didn't enable it yet, posssibly because he figured Google would get to it in a short time anyway, who knows. The patch to enable full access to your memory was here first as well, and (at this time) we still don't know if today's OTA update includes this. Lots of other reasons to root, but if all you're worried about is getting OTA updates, you can stop worrying.
[Nexus One General] Raymond77:
In fairness I've not noticed any performance increase on my Nexus One, since adding the Cyanogen rom on Sunday.

There are a few more apps, some extra options, and a really dodgy multitouch in the browser app, but I have to admit I don't really think it was worth it for me.

Fortunately I've got the nandroid backup of my stock rom, so in a week or so I'll probably restore that and get the OTA updates anyway...:)
[Nexus One General] sherifone:
the difference between cooked multitouch and the native one in the OTA is quite noticeable.

rather than estimating the pinch to zoom (like on the Hero/Sense UI) the new 2.1-update1 is extremely accurate zooming where your fingers are placed, as well as being smooth as butter.
[Nexus One General] henihazbay:
Is this possible? I think once you rooted, you can't get the OTAs anymore
[Nexus One General] r8zer:
if you are rooted but have stock bootloader and stock rom you can receive OTA updates still, and still install them aswell,
[Nexus One General] Eclair~:
You do know that the features included in the official OTA that just was released a few days ago have already been placed into most of the available ROMs, when you root, you're really not "losing" the ability to get OTAs, you just are losing the ability to get them automatically sent to your phone. It just means you must install then manually, or, i.e, update the ROM your using.

When Flash 10.1 comes, do not worry, it will be in every ROM in a matter of hours. Or even before it is officially released - everything is possible after rooting. Also, after rooting, you are allowed to just do "more". Like have custom trackball colors, Nexus Torch, other apps that require ROOT access - and, for those who like installing different Android Builds, like Sense, that is all possible too.
[Nexus One General] kolyan:
rooting is more of a warranty issue then anything else.
[Nexus One General] gtrplr71:
this should do it look at the bottom 281 megs of free memory
[Nexus One General] ianken:
Yep. But free memory is memory not being used for anything, so what's the point? It's an e-peen thing, like the guys who build triple SLI I7 gaming rigs with 12 gigs and use it to run WoW. :D

But one thing to consider is that an OTA update is generally well tested. Cooked ROMs are frequently not. The current Cyanogen 5.0 "stable" one has gone through three revisions in one day or so to correct for things that would normally be caught in a regression test pass for the "real bits."

The advantages of staying stock is that GOOG, HTC and TMO will have releases processes in place, quality gates for changes to pass, etc that the cooked rom scene does not.

The advantage of going rooted with a custom rom is you get new cool stuff sooner.

So. Root, nandroid and then try it out. If you don't like the result, restore. Done.

I'm running Cyan 5 beta 4. Have not installed the "stable" release build as I'm waiting for the bug churn to slow.
[Nexus One General] jabreu203:
What software is that?
[Nexus One General] Eclair~:

[Nexus One General] octap:
Looking over the whole net to get an answer to this question.

What are the benefits of going rooted and installing a custom rom?

There is totally NO answer, cause the answer that EVERYBODY gives "you gain all the benefits of have your phone rooted" is just not an answer. What ar those benefits damn?

I know there's no straight answer, but I am looking for some examples....things that will show me some actual benefits in everyday use. And please dont give me the second most popular answer "you are able to install custom Roms"....

Yes...ok....but I want examples of the benefits of that, too...

(I have rooted my phone and installed Leedroid rom......and still trying to figure out why all that fuzz...)
[Nexus One General] liam.lah:
Theres a whole search engine out there.

You serious? You necro'd a year and a half old thread to ask this?

If you go to any custom rom thread in this forum, you will be given access to a list of features.

Or you could google the rom in question, an example might be "Cyanogenmod features"

This was the second result:

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Features

You say you have leedroid, which makes me suspect that A: you don't have a Nexus One, and B: You should have read the first post of the thread, where the features of the custom rom are included

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=842802

Rooting gives you all the features of the custom rom you choose to install. Every rom has it's own set of features, which may explain why there is no single 'answer' you are looking for.

Rooting without installing a custom rom limits you to extra features like Nandroid back ups, and things like setCPU.
[Nexus One General] octap:
thanks for taking the time to reply. I figured that I was on a wrong phone thread only after I posted (I have HTC desire). I guess I have to spend some time with my rooted+rom phone to understand the real benefits myself.
[Nexus One General] wondercoolguy:
Sounds like you are just lazy to me. You don't want to go read up like everyone else did. I say stick w/ stock rom so you don't make another thread that asking to convince you to go to a particular rom or just a bunch of random questions that are in stickies.
[Nexus One General] datboycuong:
If you don't root, you don't get the 'H'!! LOL

If you ask everyone the forum, why they rooted their phone, 1/2 will not know why.

Some, surprisingly, believe they need to root their phone to get the 'H' to get faster internet speed.

Some believe their 'stock, non-rooted' phone always gets 'H' and that is how it comes from the store.

Some believe that if you root your phone, it will transform into a power ranger.
[Nexus One General] crachel:
There are 2 reasons to root your phone as I see it

To access hardware you otherwise couldn't

To extend the life of your device by installing the latest/greatest custom ROM

For example, a stock N1 without root access can not utilize trackball wake, so if that is important to you, gain root access to the phone.

Also, the N1 is getting a little long in the tooth by smartphone standards and Google will presumably stop pushing updates one day. So if Android v5.0 is important to you, you will need root access to install CyanogenMod 9, which might help you squeeze more functionality from the phone.

The rest is software stuff. Notification power widgets, overclocking, toggle GPS via software are all dependent on root. But these things are just "niceties" and aren't necessarily limiting your hardware, IMO.
[Nexus One General] garfnodie:
Because you can.

I'm always messing with thing, modding them, changing them and just generally changing whatever I can, and when asked why, my answer is always the same, "Because I can." I don't need anymore reason than that.
[Nexus One General] bigmout:
What do you mean "lose flash support for the browser"?

I use Cyanogen because it gives my phone valuable functionality that Google builds don't allow.

Ultimately, there are bugs whether you use custom ROMs or Google's version of Android. The difference is that ROM makers and your fellow users are much, much, much more responsive and helpful than Google. I can't tell you how many times I wanted to smash my keyboard at the unhelpful non-answers offered by Google drones on their forums.
[Nexus One General] ChongoDroid:
Custom >
[Nexus One General] albundy2010:
You don't loose the ota updates anyway. If one comes out that you want to try you just flash the stock rom back or restore your backup of stock.

Any point against unlocking/rooting/custom roms on the n1 or any dev phone are rubbish.

There are no disadvantages period.
[Nexus One General] ChongoDroid:
The only real disadvantage is the.. warranty? LoL

Plus any code that's released by google is quickly snatched up by one of our many awesome XDA members and released as an "ota" rom (usually deodexed, etc.) Or baked into a delicious custom :)

Hopefully I'm just rehashing lol
[Nexus One General] albundy2010:
Warrenty claim is rubbish. HTC has repaired phones with unlocked bootloaders and even with custom roms on the phone.
[Nexus One General] ChongoDroid:
Haha I know I contacted them about a faulty cable and they sent me all new cables, a battery, and a sweet new back cover.
[Nexus One General] Eutherin:

[Nexus One General] ElLoboSorridente:
you can pretty much reinstall the stock ROM again, then upgrade till the latest OTA
[Nexus One General] xzr3b0rnzx:
There will most likely be no more ota for nexus one.. So just root in and get cm7 on it. Faster, better more extra goodies
[Nexus One General] Lt.Fury:
You can always download the ota manually

Does not void warantee if you dont unlock the bootloader

if warantee is expired might as well flash a rom

better battery life

more features

more space

faster
