Equalizer App for Android Phones

I mentioned in the past that I run an equalizer program on an old android phone with the high end frequencies drastically boosted. Then I run the youverse bible app, to a bluetooth speaker in the shower. It was working great, I could understand the “out loud” reading through the app without my hearing aids in.

I recently upgraded my bathroom phone to a pixel 1. When I downloaded the EQ app, it is now a paid app and in any case doesn’t seem to be working to affect the frequencies of the reading of the bible app.

Does anyone know of an effective EQ app for an android phone?

You could try extracting the APK file from your old phone (find it and send by Bluetooth to your new phone) and install on your pixel, this will give you the old version that works for you.

What version of Android do you have?
I’m using Version 10, and under “Settings”, “Sounds and Vibration”, “Sound Quality and effects”, there is a 9 band EQ with the top 4 bands being 2k, 4k, 8k, and 16k, +/- 10db each. On my Galaxy that EQ effects anything playing out of the phone, whether radio, Bible readings, or Pandora.

I moved from Samsung to Google because of Cochlear Nucleus 7/Kanso 2 processors compatibility, needed Android 10 or higher. My S9 was Android 9. The pixel 3 I have now is Android 11 and does not have the equalizer you have described. Must be a Samsung thing.

I really like Samsung phones. Wanted to make the S9 work but Verizon didn’t want to update it to A10.
The Pixel 3 is nice with a great camera and so much cheaper than the S10 Samsung at the time.

Always, Always buy an Unlocked Phone!
Most any make & model works w/ TracFone, or any other carrier, and YOU get tho choose the features & phone you want.
Plus if you ever get the desire to change carrier, your Unlocked phone is going to work!
One caveat is some makes are GSM only, and will only work on AT&T or T-Mobile.
