Hi.
This is my first try at a hack for android. Been readin java previously so i know the basics.
I think there are others that would enjoy this "hack" aswell.
So to the hack i want to make.
Remove notifications while in Car-Dock playing music.
Remove the 25% volume thingy for media volume.
These "features" are incredibly annoying.
If my N1 is in the car dock the media volume goes down to about 1/4.
My notifications go on top of the music. While my N1 is in the car dock im quite sure i would notice a incoming call / sms / email. So there is no actual need for a sound.
What i want to do is remove the lowered volume and all notification sounds when in car dock.
I already removed the car home screen becose its utterly useless.
But this didnt affect the volume as i thought.
If anyone wanna help out with this it would be greatly appriciated
You could use the app PhoneWeaver to fix both issues. It has a car dock trigger and you can turn off all the notification sounds. Also allows you to specify a level for the media volume.
I tried one of these previously.
It removed the sounds. BUT it still muted the music for the moment the notification was supposed to play.
So it didnt disable the notifications. Only muted them.
i would actually like to have mine lowered like you describe, it always seems to crank up the volume so much so that it distorts the sound when i dock it and it is then not adjustable through the settings or through audio manager pro.
I'll have to check out phoneweaver, i emailed audio manager pro and they said there was no plans to set up profiles automatically triggered by docking the phone...
the way i deal with this is i have two home screen shortcuts for audio manager pro that sets all audio and mutes notifications and another that sets it back to normal
holy crap...6.99 for the app, perhaps ill wait to try it out
Ill get to work on this project next week when i have some time.
I bought my Galaxy S3 (UK version) when they first came out, but recently had to have the motherboard replaced under warranty due to the phone suffering from Sudden Death.
Before the repair, the audio output via my earbud headset was perfect, but now I'm getting a persistent and annoying low-level background hiss. This is not affected in the slightest by the volume control - even at the lowest volume setting the hiss is still present at the same level. It lasts for about 4 seconds after audio playback has finished, and then stops with a slight click/pop as the audio circuit shuts down.
You can also hear it from the rear-panel speaker if you put it close to your ear and perform any action which causes a noise to be generated - e.g. keypress clicks or the notification tones when you press the volume rocker (just make sure volume is set low first though, as that speaker can be loud when you've got your ear up against it!)
I've done some checking and it's definitely hardware related - nandroid restoring my old ROM doesn't make any difference. It is really annoying when I'm listening to music at night in bed, usually at the lowest volume setting, as the hiss is much more noticeable without other ambient noises to drown it out.
There were a number of reports of similar issues last year but not everyone seemed to be affected, and the threads all seem to have dried up now. I'm wondering how many 'original' S3 users have this problem, versus more recent purchasers? I've added a poll, just to see how widespread this issue is - please treat any phone where the motherboard has been replaced for Sudden Death issues as a 'recent' phone.
And how do I go about getting it fixed if the current motherboards all seem to have the same fault? Is there any low-level firmware setting to reduce the physical gain of the internal audio amp circuit, as it does seem to be happening in the final stages of audio output rather than in the software-controlled stuff? I'm not worried about losing the top end of the volume range, I use bluetooth for more amplified playback anyway.

Background hiss / noise no and thats from one of the very first SGS3 .
But a fair number of the sound mods do add noise .

That has been well posted up on XDA hiss + pop click on shutdown as you said long time ago .|Not seen any user posting really since those threads died . Most are just looking for more loud or more boom boom .
A number of kernels now have sound adaptations .

Yeah, I first put it down to some sort of audio mod in the ROM that I had installed, so I nandroided back to the vanilla JB that was in the phone when I picked it back up from repair, and even back to my older ICS stock ROM (which had no audio mods at all) and they were all exactly the same.
Sound tweaks are all going to effect the source sound digitally, before it hits the analogue amp stage, and I suspect it's the final analogue stage which is generating the interference.
I don't care for lots of volume or boom boom (and anyway, I have amplifiers or car audio for that) but I do want my original lovely hissless audio quality back...

Do you still get the hissing with a good sound enhancing kernel (such as boeffla)? If you do, sounds like you have a hardware problem

Ah, I didn't know some kernels were better than others for noise reduction. Although I'm not so interested in 'enhancing' per se, more reducing! But the problem I'm getting is not effected by the volume controls at all, the hiss remains constant whatever any of the level sliders are set to, just as long as the audio circuits are enabled.
The ROM I'm currently running is Omega AOKP v7.0, which is based on AOKP JB 4.2.2 milestone-1 and stock kernel. Is there a suitable kernel compatible with that which might help me does anyone know? (boeffla isn't as far as I can tell)

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
My SGS3 is about 9 months old, and I have this too. However, in my case the background hiss is at an extremely low level - to all practical intents it's inaudible. Certainly not enough to be annoying, even in the quietest of environments.
Hi
I have the international version of the S7. As I usually do when I get a new Android device it's straight to LineageOS or another AOSP based rom. The roms usually works just fine but a common thing I have noticed over the years is that the speaker on the given device never sound the same from stock to any other rom. In this case there is too much mid-range in the sound from the speaker. So my main question is:
Is there any way one can manually tune the speaker so that it sounds closer to the stock rom? I.e. managing a high-pass filter and lowering the mid-range on the system output. This is not related to the equalizer in any sense since it is mainly the ring tone that is affected. Playing music one can just use the 'AudioFX' settings.
How does the stock rom do this? There has to be a set curve for it to not blow the speaker for ring tones etc. You don't want to send loud bass frequencies to a tiny speaker for example.
So I've been playing around with the phone for a few days and come to one conclusion.
The phone speakers are not great. Average at best.
More specifically, the top phone speaker is so terrible it is drowning out the decent quality sound of the bottom speaker.
I'd much rather just use the bottom speaker and forget about the top altogether.
Does anyone know of a way to either disable the top speaker for media sounds, or an app that lets you independently control the left/right speaker volumes so I can just turn the dam thing off?
The bottom speaker is very decent and the distortion from the top speaker when playing at louder volumes is very annoyingly bad !!
Disable stereo+ function under sound settings
I already did this, and my problem was not solved

I have the "new" Bold N1 phone on android 9 pie, and I thought this was an issue with the phone BUT the speakerphone and headphone volume in calls(media and notification sounds is loud enough) is LOWER than every other volume on the phone and super ****ing quiet. When you go to the sound settings it gives you 4 slider bars for volume, media, ringer etc and they give you a test sound when you lift your finger off the slider, well the call volume(not the ringer) is all the way up and WAY quieter than every other slider bar test sound when it is all the way up, I tested the same slider on my pixel 3 with android pie 9 and the exact same thing, does anyone know how to make the speakerphone/in call/in call headphone volume louder? it seems like its capped as the rest of the sounds on the devices are loud and clear.
I was about to do an RMA for the device but the same problem is on the pixel 3 as well running android 9, has anyone ran into this? If you are on android 9 on any phone, Go into your settings and goto sounds and put every slider up high and listen and see if the call volume beep slider is MUCH lower than the other sliders and reply to this please or if you have a fix tell me! it makes talking on the phone almost unusable with how quiet it is and is making me want to pull my hair out.
As proof its android 9 pie and NOT either of the phones I downloaded a secondary texting app called Textnow and placed a phone call through there and low and behold the speakerphone was loud and so was my headphones but it uses data and is not my actual phone number so not usable full time so something is happening with the actual phone software app on the phones and not a speaker defect. I have tried different phone apps too from the playstore but they all connect to the same dialer and therefore use the phone instead of textnow using their own dialer/phone software.
