I've just got an SGS2, I used to use the Nokia AD54 as a MIC with an i9000. It seems like it's not compatible with the i9100 as the volume is extremely low and distorted. I would now like to get an inline remote with volume control that I can plug my current headphones into, I have trawled through loads of threads, most seem to suggest bluetooth or a new set of headphones.
Is there anything equivalent to the AD54 with volume controls another button and mic for our phone?

I don't know if whoever wrote the bluetooth stack for Android has Super Hearing or what.... With wired headphones, I have to turn down the volume or I'll blow out my hearing... But with Bluetooth, it's like a fscking whisper.
I have tried the voodoo sound, but apparently it only boosts wired headphones - absolutely not what I need! I listen to music over my stereo Bluetooth headset, or at least I try to. I usually give up in frustration.
Is there any hack/mod for the Vibrant that will allow an increase in BLUETOOTH volume?
Thanks!
Total opposite for me. My wired headphones sound terrible and tinny with no bass at all. Bluetooth on the other hand sounds fantastic. What type of Bluetooth headphones are you using?

Plantronics Voyager 855.
bump. I have a helmet with stereo bluetooth built in, I use it to listen to music and/or gps while riding the motorcycle. And I can't hear a thing once I get moving on the bike. On CM7 and Miui they have DSP manager and on my G1 there was the louder volume hack app.. but i can't find anything for 2.2 roms for the vibrant. I'd really like the ability. I tried adjusting the numbers under bluetooth in the volume section with the secret codes but had no success.
hi there, i have the same issue... i bought a motorola s10-hd and they sound good but very quiet...
On Bluetooth: I turn phone volume all the up then control volume via Bluetooth.
On Wire: REMIND MYSELF to turn down phone volume before wearing earphone. Sometimes I forget and OUCH my ears!!!
Anyone have a better method, please share.
Vibrant on Project-V + Bali-X 1.1
Volume boost?
I have a Samsung Captivate that runs on Firefly 3.0 froyo rom. The problem is that the audio of music and most importantly videos are not loud enough. Voodoo control plus does a great job of increasing the volume for wired headset. But I use bluetooth headset to listen to music and watch movies. I can hardly hear the audio in noisy environments.
Can someone suggest some app or fix or mod to increase volume in bluetooth headset?
I came to know that volume+ app for gingerbread does this job. Any similar app for froyo? or Voodoo control plus can actually help with BT headset volume boost?
I noticed in CM7 and more recently HACK3DAO5P ROMS, when I install PowerAmp and plug in my headset, two things happen:
1. The device only recognizes that it's headphones, not a headset with a mic for making calls
2. I can't skip tracks and control the music app with the inline button on the mic. The settings in PowerAmp are set for using the headset control, and it's set to prioritize headset control usage. No other music app will respond, either.
Is there something I'm missing?
Apologies ahead of time if mentioned elsewhere, I searched for almost an hour with many combinations in my search terms.

bluetooth stereo headset, correct? i have a motorola one like that and I havent tried making calls on it lately (it did work at least a few versions ago of cm7), but it works okay for music. I haven't tried the buttons on it yet, since I normally just use the volume buttons to switch tracks, but I'll see if they work. I would try searching the thread for CM7 here and rootzwiki for bluetooth as well.
Thanks for the reply. I'm using a regular plug-in headset, SkullCandy 50/50s at the moment. I have many different pairs I use, and when plugged in they don't register as having a mic. Sucks because I tend to listen to music and use the headset while I'm out an about. Also, these ROMs have the best battery life, so I tend to use them more often.
I checked the CM7 threads, I'll try again and rootzwiki also..
I got the Optimus V at the recent Cyber Monday deal at Virgin Mobile - for one major purpose - to use it as an mp3 player for my car. I have not activated the phone, do not plan to, have wifi on it only.
The built-in speaker on it is pretty loud, so I am surprised that the headphone volume is very low. I have to turn my car volume all the way up to max to hear anything (driving highway).
I wonder if LG turned the volume low to prevent people from killing their ear-drums. Is there any solution out there without having to activate the phone and install alternate rom on it? I have turned the volume in settings all the way high, and I have Pandora, and I have set the audio setting to high on Pandora preferences.
Pls. let me know if my objective cannot be achieved without rooting and installing a custom ROM, I would prefer not to activate this phone.
Thanks for any help.
Shameless bump...I have Volume Control+ which does not help at all.
you hear low sound in headphone ?
what are you connecting it to?
Yes, I have a low volume on the headphone too. I connect it to the aux port on the car radio using a regular Stereo Jack. My Car radio is a Pioneer system, which has great sound with other mp3 players.
Hi there,
I have used the Klipsch S4 headphones for a while now and decided to "upgrade" to the Klipsch S4i wired headset for convenience. It is actually designed for Apple products, but the middle button should still work.
The android version of this headset is 60ish% more expensive and has the same functionality (no volume buttons instead of dead volume buttons...).
I had read that not all functions would be available on my Samsung Galaxy S3 (Android 4.1.2), but I expected the problems to be restricted to the volume control buttons.
What does NOT work?
When I'm using the headset, I can use the headset's middle button to receive an incoming call, but as soon as the button has been pressed, the headset is pretty much not recognized by the phone any more: The call uses the phone's speaker and microphone.
Also, if I try to listen to music via the headset afterwards, that works only after unplugging and reconnecting the headset. The headset is dead after receiving a call with its button.
Things that DO WORK:
- Receiving the call by using the phone's touchscreen while using the headset - full functionality.
- Fully functional (button to hang up, mic and earbuds) when I'm making calls from my phone. So the problem exists only for incoming calls and when using that damn button.
- Using the button for play/pause, next track etc... (no volume control though) with spotify
What I have tried:
- Apps: JAYS Headset control, Philips headset control, Klipsch headset App, SoundAbout (Free version), Music volume EQ
Only one of these apps was installed at a time to prevent conflicts.
I would find it very convenient to use the button to receive calls and don't understand why that doesn't work. Can you help me?
That's why Klipsch made the S4A model (for Android phones)...

I have both, and yes S4i control buttons not work (unless you want to open it and exchange the resistor with cheap android headset). Quality of the sounds both same, the disadvantage only the buttons (S4A single button sucks, even install Klipsch app), the long press button config conflict with voice command (this why it sucks because I set long press to choose volume presets, anyone know solution for this?).
Hi all,
I find out that on my wileyfox swift 2+ the volume in calls are definitely too loud when the earphones is inserted, even if I set the lowest audio level from menu, equalizer app or while calling, while having good volume sound when playing sounds from any application (not in call), with or without earphones (yeah, it could be a bit higher, but for me is ok).
I tried two type of earphone (xiaomi hybrid and another pair of samsung) but everyone is experiencing the problem. It's not a problem of telephone card, I tried 2 different cards and nothing changed.
I'm the only one who is experiencing this problem? what do you recommend?
Thanks.
Yep, I have exactly the same problem with my Swift 2+. I've also tried several sets of headphones, plus a couple of volume control apps. I have tried engineering mode, but *nothing* reduces the volume to an acceptable (non-painful) level. I've used the same headphones successfully in a Samsung Galaxy S2, which proves that it's the Wiley Fox phone.
Is this a hardware issue? Am I going to have to solder a resistor into the headphones to reduce the volume?
If I'm not able to find a solution soon then I will have to buy another phone, and it won't be WileyFox.
