Hi guys!
One annoyance I am having is, every time I plug in aux to my car for Pandora, I have to turn the volume back up and let it warn me about loud music being bad for my hearing...
I can't imagine this is an ICS feature. Is there a way I can make it default to the last volume used? (or highest?)

I have tried it on other ICS phones and it doesn't do this... it just is a Samsung idea I guess??
There has to be a way to disable the media volume from starting so low.

I use Tasker to pretty much disable the whole volume changing when inserting headphones deal. Download the attached zip and extract it to your /sdcard/Tasker/ folder. Then, launch Tasker and import the 2 profiles and 2 tasks you've just extracted.
Essentially what this will do is remember the volume level every time it's changed and then restore it to last known level when headset is inserted/ejected.

Hello XDA! This is my first post, although I am an avid daily reader. If this is not the right place to post this then I apologize in advance.
I am working on a custom boot animation. I have everything working, including the audio file I'd like to hear as it runs. My problem is that the volume of the audio file during the custom boot animation is VERY low (~30%). I looked at the stock AT&T boot animation and there is an audio file commented out in desc.txt (#s blahblahblah.ogg). I "uncommented" it and ran it with the stock boot animation to see if the volume was the same, and indeed it was! I opened up sql editor and have looked in every database file I can find (I think) and have found nothing referencing volume upon boot up.
Is there indeed a database file that references this, and if so, what do I need to modify so the the volume is at a respectable level? Is there something (a line of code) that I need to add to the desc.txt file that will modify the volume? In a nutshell, how do I increase the volume of the audio file that I would like to be played with my custom boot animation?
Thank you for reading my post. Any/all help would be greatly appreciate!!

This problem is driving me nuts. Does anybody have any info at all that might point me towards a resolution?? I've extensively researched it and haven't found any info.
Thanks!

Bump.....sorry everyone. I've tried everything I an think of and need some help. =(
amp up the sound of your file. i don't know why it would play it lower than "normal". i had to amp up one of mine.
How do I do that??
I actually had the same problem with the "Aperture Laboratories" custom boot. Audio was very low

use an app like Audacity to see if it makes a difference.
I fixed my problem by using a program (mp3gain pro) to increase the overall volume of the audio file by ~20%. All works perfectly now. Thanks!!
Please close this thread.
I have tried using mp3gainpro which actually works with the file, but the volume doesnt have any affect on the phone during the animation. I dont know how to increase it. I think we have to mess with the codes to change some prefrences, but i dont know how
You can increase the db level, but you will at a certain point induce clipping and the sound quality will go downhill fast. Best thing to do is find an audio source for the same file which was ripped at a higher quality.
This is not a coding problem. Its a source problem.

I disagree. I have used files that are excellent sound quality and volume, and the boot animation sequence plays the .mp3 at a greatly reduced volume.

How is that going to help? I do music, so I am well aware of what a quality sound wave looks like. I have an MT4G, and I have run multiple different files for the boot sounds and they all play at a low volume.

Ok, you do music smartypants. Figure it out yourself then. (I can make my audio play loud btw, but then I don't do music so obviously I have no clue). Bye!

My point was simply that sending you the .mp3 was not going to help. If you want to act all high and mighty about it that's on you lol
Personally it's not that big of a deal.

On my phone, the ringer volume seemed to directly affect the volume of the boot sound. Maybe it's the media sound level or something and by coincidence the ringer volume was the same, but whatever the case one of those made it louder and then quieter and also muted depending on the volume level I had going. Because I've changed nothing as far as the sound file itself

I can barely hear music thru my motor by headset. Calls are OK though.
Any fix?

I have the? Motorola Sliver and no problems with volume at all. In fact, I must keep it turned down. What do you have?
Download and try the free version of Volume+. BE CAREFUL with it. It allows you to amplify sound beyond the specs listed for the phone. Use it gradually (try +1, then +2, etc. if necessary). It has individual settings for headsets, bluetooth, and the regular speaker.
Bluetooth through my car radio (alpine cda-105 with a KCE-400BT) is kind of low, but I paired it with a new 2012 VW and it was perfect. So I don't think it's the phone.
I've noticed that the phone automatically adjusts the volume down to about half when it's paired with a bluetooth media device. Then when you turn up the volume the volume level displayed on the phone will go up but the sound doesn't get louder. There are three fixes I found that work depending on the circumstances:
1) Hit the volume down button. This might get the volume level displayed to drop to half immediately. If that's the case then you can turn up the volume like normal and the sounds should go up to normal.
2) If the first one doesn't work try to un-pair and re-pair the devices.
3) Next try to delete the bluetooth pairing completely and start over.
What headset you have? I hope its not the LG one...

Every time I connect headphones the volume go down at 75%+/- and I need to pump up to maxium.
I use my phone to play music on my car. So I wanted to disable this feature but I don't know where.

I think you are using cm9. CM9 has a new feature where the volume is adjustable when you plug in headphones. It's under Settings-> Sound-> Safe headset volume. From what I know it automatically reduces the volume to 50% when you plug in headphones.

Hi
No I'm not using CM9, I am on stock ROM I have a I9100, also I have siyah kernel, but not a custom ROM
I thought you are on cm9 cuz in that rom they implemented this mod sorry i dont know how to help you
Alrighty. I searched around and found this question asked a few times around the net, but never answered. Same question is also asked over in the Sprint note2 q&a with no replies...
The question is this..
How the heck do you disable the automatic reduction in volume when plugging something in the 3.5mm jack?
I switch between by car's cd player and a line-in cable to use streaming audio through my phone a lot and am incredibly annoyed with having to turn my phone's volume back up when i plug in the cable. I also dont like being chided like a 10 year old with the "don't listen to loud music" message each time i turn the volume back up... i don't need a nanny. i just want to listen to my music without having to keep fiddling with volume settings.
Anyone know where this "feature" is and how to disable it?

Good question. I was wondering the same thing, as well as how to turn off the "soft ring" or whatever it's called where the ringer starts low when you're receiving a call and after a second or two goes to regular volume.
I've looked in the sound settings and in accessibility but can't find any options for those things.
i seem to be having the opposite problem ...
the volume is loud as hell even on the low setting.
maybe its just me ?

Some custom ROMs have it removed...if you are stock or the ROM you are running doesn't have it removed you can install this app in the market to stop it from happening:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...S5zaHVtb2FwcC5kaXNhYmxlaW5jcmVhc2luZ3JpbmciXQ..
It's free. It runs in the background but I've never seen it consume any battery. All you have to do is open the app and it stops the increasing ring from then on. Make sure and follow the instructions if you don't want the persistent notification. I turned it off and the app has never been killed.
Honestly, that increasing ring was irritating, but i never thought about fixing it... i installed that app and we'll see how its works.
Now if we can just get rid of that stupid volume reduction i'll be set!
<- rooted stock

Well... I just flashed to beans rom 7.... And the silly volume reduction is still there...
Anyone have any other ideas on wherr this "feature" is hidden so i can excise it like a malignant tumor?

Hey, is this only me or everybody is facing such issue
Whenever i play mp3 files in lg music player or even power amp in full volume, after some seconds volume automatically turns down displaying a dilogue for very short interval "media volume automatically turned down to protect your ears"
Because of this i am unable to enjoy mp3 files in full volume.
Do anybody has a fix for this?

Did you try turning it back up after the phone turned it down? Usually that message comes up the second I start playing music but I just turn the volume up after and it works fine

Yes, for some/very less tracks it works but for some it does not and always keeps on turning down( may be for those tracks whose default volume is just ok or quite high) but its really annoying to have the same problem in ligit songs.
What i have noticed is that in this handset the volume is already very low, so whats the point of Lg worring about hearing damage and trolling us

As I manage my mp3s in folders, I use Poweramp and Music Folder Player, which both have a sound engine capable of squeezing sufficient extra volume out of the phone.
You can control volume with the app "Headset Button Controller". However , JB reserves the long button press, so i configured a quadruple click for "volume up" when discovering this negative aspect of the JB upgrade.

Well, that too didn't worked for me. I wonder why its only me who is facing such problem, and nobody else is worried about it.
I am facing this in both mentioned player also however they are really capable of boosting the volume, BUT LG is far more capable of decreasing it.

Hey,
im facing the exact same Problem. Just flashed CM 11 to my LG lp p760 (beacuse CM 10.2 had the same problem) and still have to deal with it. I tried Poweramp and Appolo.
Phone Speakers/Headset are working just fine but as soon as i plug in my Aux-Stereo-Speakers the volume just goes down to about 50% but the display says its already on full volume and i cant turn it up.
CM 11 has in "kernel settings" the option to activate "headset boost" and if i activate it, the volume is very nice and loud but after like 30 seconds it turns down to even less than before, like 30% of the volume i want. i can then deactivate and activate the boost again to reach 100% volume but it keeps going down. Sometimes the Mediaplayer even crashes and the Music wont come out of the Aux-Speakrrs but the Handy instead.
Does anybody know any solutions? The problem did not occur without a Custom Rom.
