Low volume and battery drain are probably the most earnestly felt issues for smartphone users. Thanks to the open source nature of Android that we can have root access on our device! Rooting makes it really easy to solve such issues with the help of custom ROMs and mods. While it is very easy to find good battery-saver apps for rooted Android devices, the Play Store lacks in Apps that can effectively solve the low volume issue on Android devices.
Because low volume is a serious issue common to most Android devices, we never miss a volume hack mod when it is available for a device. In the past, we have shared volume boost mods for devices like Galaxy S3, S4, Note 2, Note 3, Nexus 4, Xperia Z and a few others. Today we’ve come with another working volume boost hack for Sony’s latest flagship the Xperia Z1 that significantly extends the volume capabilities of the device.
XDA member auras76 has come up a nice remedy for the users of Xperia Z1 users. His volume hack mod can be installed on any rooted Xperia Z1. The mod is available as a flashable zip that can be installed via custom recovery (CWM or TWRP). Once installed, you’ll notice louder volume on the following things:
- Call volume
- External speaker volume
- Headphone volume

Any simpler solution? Rooting an Android phone is quite challenging to a regular user, I messed up my phone while trying to root it – resulting in servicing it at my ISP. 🙁
