Hallo,
everytime one adjusts the volume of the HD2 with the devices hardware buttons, the step is very high.
I have been searching the forum, but I didn't find any solution, how to decrease the stepwidth - only have seen, that some other people have the same issue (but no solution).
Is there any possibility to manipulate the stepwitdh????
I have checked the registry and I am wondering if in one of the following reg.keys the stepwidth might be coded:
HKLM\Software\HTC\VolumeOverlay
=> I guess this is the HTC Volume control screen, which appears when you press the hardware buttons. But I have no clue if one of the entries defines the stepwitdh.
The other possibility I see here:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Volume
I would like to have some feedback, before trying to mess in the registry.

I do remember there being a fix for this, as far as I can remember it was an image that you drop and dragged into your windows folder and that some how fixes it.
I do think it's quite annoying, it's also really laggy when I hold down my volume key as opposed to tap it per each jump in volume level.
Anyway I don't know where it is but hopefully someone can post it cause I'm after it aswell
maybe you already know, but you can adjust the slider onscreen with your finger and achieve smaller steps of adjustment than can be achieved using the hardware buttons.....
@rumpleforeskin
I know that via touchscreen the volume can be adjusted finer. The issue is...
well try this, while you have your mobile in the beltpocket, listening to music.
I just want to adjust the volume in this situation with the hardwarekeys.

I don't understand why there isn't a fix for this, volumex is a commercial program that does it. But the normal volume control app is perfect, only the steps are indeed way to big...
yeah, i have the same problem i usually listen to max -1 or -2 bars (trance music) and everytime i have to resort to using fingers to slide the volume to max-1/-2. is there a way to adjust each button press = 1 bar?
Anyone know a registry fix for this?
try this, maybe it'll help
As long as I've owned my phone (~ 1 month), my notification vibrate has been great. If it was on a hard table, it was loud enough to scare the crap out of me, but more importantly, I could easily feel it in my pocket. Recently, apparently after turning off the notification vibrate for a little while (so that I could leave it on a table without jumping), the vibration intensity is extremely weak. I makes a small buzz on a table, and I can't even begin to feel it in my pocket unless the screen is facing out (which sounds like a great way to get a cracked screen).
Changing the vibration intensity under the settings only changes the haptic feedback intensity, not the notification intensity. I can't find a setting for that anywhere - has anyone else had this problem? Anyone know the solution?
apparently (from what i've gathered) the haptic feedback intensity controls the vibration intensity for the ENTIRE phone. So make sure your intensity is all the way up before you turn off haptic feedback otherwise your vibration will be extremely weak.
I saw that looking through old threads. I usually have haptic feedback on and the intensity set at about halfway, but maxing it has no effect on notifications.
One other note - it seems that my incoming call vibration is strong. Unfortunately, I'm not entirely sure if it had dropped and is now back to where it was, or if it stayed at the same level while my notification level dropped.
Opposite Effect
Anyone confirm this or is there some other way to adjust the global vibration? Mine is way too strong and rattles the volume buttons on my phone. My girlfriend and her two daughters also have Vibrants and I've compared mine with all of theirs. Mine is extremely intense. My girlfriend joked about borrowing it for a while.
Anyone know of anything I can do? A service menu or something? I've been searching and this thread is the best I could find.
Basically, here is my thought...
As it stands, the volume rocker only adjusts for what you are currently in, ringer, notifications, media, etc. If you also want something else adjusted, you either have to switch to that, or adjust them via settings.
Is there a way to match all volumes so that when I hit the down side of the rocker, all sound profiles match and go downThis way, no matter what I'm in, I can turn them all down without having to go into settings...
Basically just an option that forces the volumes to match, che when I change one, they all adjust...
Anyone?
i know its really you own business what you do with your phone...but is this something you would REALLY want?? its seems like youd be causing much inconvenience for yourself in the future......you hsould try a program like tasker, locale, setting profiles, timeriffic, etc.......these apps allow you to create automatic profiles, set it and forget it
Try Widgetsoid.
It's an amazing, customizable app (vertical too) that can make about any widget you want. I use it to control ALL volume levels quickly.
Not what you wanted, but it's my solution to what I consider an issue too.

Thank you to both comments. I'll try the widget maker...
@TopShelf: Yes, I'd really like that. For me it would be easier. When I need to turn one volume down, I normally need to turn them all down... and it's not always location specific. So for me, it's a lot easier to hit the bar up or down to make sure it's where I need it, than to juggle a bunch of different profiles and wonder if something is where it should be before using it...

Yeah, Paul O'Brien turned me on to that widget via twitter, it is pretty dang amazing, and nobody seems to talk about it.
REQUIRES PERSEUS KERNEL 34.2 OR ABOVE
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for any damage this app may cause.
This app is now open sourced and is available at:
https://github.com/EternalMelody/HeadphoneAmpControl
This app allows the user to handily change Headphone Amplifier Levels. Root access is required for file permission changes to the following files:
-"/sys/class/misc/wolfson_control/headphone_left"
-"/sys/class/misc/wolfson_control/headphone_right"
Two launchers can be found in the app drawer. One launches the Control app, another launches an overlay dialog for quick amplification level changes.
App Guide:
-Balance L/R toggle: Toggles amplification level balance between the left and right channels. When checked, disables the right channel seekbar and copies the left channel amplification level value to the right channel.
-Main seekbars: Current amplification level values. The top one is left channel's, bottom one is right channel's. The minimum and maximum values are defined by "Min level" and "Max level".
Control App Guide:
-Min level seekbar: Minimum amplification level that is settable by the main seekbars. Cannot be higher than safety level or max level.
-Max level seekbar: Maximum amplification level that is settable by the main seekbars. Cannot be lower than safety level or min level.
-Toggle service (notification bar shortcut): Enables notification shortcut. Must be checked to enable safety level. Notification only appears when headset is currently plugged in.
-Toggle volume button hack: Automatically sets checked volume type to almost max. The volume buttons can then be used to directly adjust amp levels, depending on context. The seekbar determines amp level jump.
-Hack music volume: Enables volume button hack for music, media, video, and games volume
-Hack voice call volume: Enables volume button hack for voice call volume
-Hack ring volume: Enables volume button hack for call ringtone volume
-Safety level: When headset is plugged in the first time, the current amplification level is compared with the safety level. If current level is higher than the safety level, then the current level is lowered to the safety level.

-AndreiLux
Ok but...
First time that I'm first
Any explanation about what this mod does? Must be based on stock ROMS or AOSP/AOKP works too?
Re: [APP] HeadphoneAmpControl
Thanks for this, one of the handier features I've missed from the Voodoo days.

Check the Perseus kernel thread in original dev.
Perseus only works with Samsung-based ROMs, Andreilux just implemented a new audio engine & this app allows for on the fly headphone amp volume changes, either unified or broken down to left/right channels. Stweaks has the same functionality under the audio tab, but also does every other kernel tweak, & it's slow & janky.

What onslaught86 said. By the way, I see from your sig that you are using NEAK kernel. Would you mind trying whether or not my app works with that kernel? I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

Nevermind, I tested it myself and it doesn't work on NEAK. They have different implementations of Boeffla Sound.
Volume button hack added
I've tried using this, but the problem is that I can't find a way to keep both volume notifications from popping up.
On top of that, each time the volume is changed, the system interprets it as if it were a headphone disconnect, and whatever you are playing stops playing. So either you have to disable that setting in all your apps and take the risk of blaring something if your headphones get unplugged, or just never adjust the volume.
Anyone know how to get around these problems? The first one is just an annoyance, but the second one makes it unusable for someone like me (who constantly adjusts the volume).
I use many headphones, so being able to control hiss would be nice. Perhaps it would be better to use profiles that are user selectable, and then use the digital control to make minor modifications?

Unfortunately there's no easy way that I know of to get around the first problem with the volume button hack. If this functionality were to be embedded in a ROM then its possible but as an app it can only rely on volume change intents.
I can't reproduce the second problem though.
By the way, in the meantime, you can still use the app without the volume button hack.
Interesting. When ASOP is stable on our phone, I'm going to come back to this. If needed, I can make my own mods to make things work the way I want. Will share if that's the case. Hate manufacturer "features". Like stupid WIndows 8 and all the preinstalled Metro apps.
nice work
Awesome job thanks for all the hard work works great...I wish there something like for Bluetooth headsets for phones call I hate the low volume level on the note 2
Rockin it from my Macknote2

Hey EternalMelody,
First, thanks very much for this nice app. great job!
Regarding the quoted discussion, any chance that the first problem can be solved via an xposed framework module?
The second one can be reproduced if you use youtube and try to adjust the volume. I think it's because adjusting the volume is causing the headphone amp to jump to the foreground and sends youtube to the background so it automatically pauses.
Thanks, and keep up the good work! :good:
First of all, I wanna say thank you for this nice app
But there's one thing which I don't like.. The sliders for the Balance are too big and the circle is not at the end of the line :/ I managed to get rid of the to big circles with resizing them from 64x64 to 32x32. Now everything's fine(except that they're not at the end of the line, but that is hard to notice anyway. )
Would be great if you could fix that one
Great app, have been using it with Perseus for a long time now and it makes my Note2 the primary music player for me now.
Wonder if you'd consider making the app work with the NEAK kernel for Note 2 as well? I'd do it myself but i haven't a clue how to do it. I want to move away from TW roms and NEAK is the only kernel with Boeffla sound on AOSP as far as I know.

Is there a way to turn down the ringtone AND notification volume at the same time? I despise the fact that I have to turn down both volumes separately in the settings when I get to the office....I'm beyond frustrated at such a simple thing.
Every other phone I've ever had, you simply use the volume rocker to lower the ringtone and the notification volume at the same time.
Nobody else finds this frustrating...or has a workaround?
May I suggest using Tasker which would not only take care of both volumes but also do it automatically for you once you get to work (based on GPS location or WiFi network)?

Sorry, I just leave all of my phones on vibrate only 24-7.

I'm the exact opposite. In fact, the main reason I returned the G4 is because it linked the notifications with ringtone volume.

Why not use the smart settings or tasked to do this automatically?
Its funny that the opposite of this (the volumes linked) was one of the big UI complaints with the G4.
Proof that you're damned if you do damned if you don't. Someone's always not going to be happy no matter what.

it's not JUST work where I'd like to be able to quickly turn down notifications and ringtones....... in what instance does someone want notifications volume up and ringtone down...or vice versa? if you lower one, you'll want to lower the other. seems really silly not to link them.

why would you ever want them unlinked? when would you have the ringtone or notifications louder than the other?

again, it's not OLNLY work where I'd like to have quick control of turning both down
I understand your desire, but you also question why would you want them unlinked.
Me personally, I have a ringtone that is much more aggressive than my notification tone. I usually have them set at their own levels, and when I do want to turn them down, I am usually going for silent so I just use the mute to vibrate toggle. I would never want them linked, and would rather a vendor error on the side of giving me options rather than lumping it all in one basket.
I just did a quick search for an app to do what you ask. I haven't tried it, but you could give it a go: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cz.marextafl.mx.simplevolume&hl=en
Good luck on your hunt.
Since you asked...
I have particularly loud notification sound. Normally it's a good thing since I don't receive that many notifications. However, there are times when I'm out and about and doing some heavier than normal texting or someone includes me in a group text including my mother, 2 sisters and niece.
That's way too much and I immediately turn down my notification volume in that situation.
I wouldn't want to turn everything down and risk missing a call. Just notifications so that everyone around me doesn't stop and give me the stink eye because my phone is going off like crazy. (with the 1up mushroom sound from Super Mario Bros.)
I definitely prefer them to be controlled separately. Having a "main control" that brings down all volumes at the same time is also handy to have but if I had to pick one or the other I'd choose the individual controls.

Ya I like them unlinked too. I get lots and lots of notifications and sometimes I just want them on vibrate while I still want to hear when I get a call. I do this at work all the time.
fair enough.... to each their own I guess
Wait. On the second screen when the main screen is off you can slide from right to left and there's a speaker icon. Tap it to set the phone to vibrate, silent or on. Also, you can set the volume slider in the pull down notification panel. When this is there you can tap the equalizer icon all the way to the right and adjust the ringtone and notification volumes separately.

this isn't just about turning it from speaker on, to vibrate...... this is about lowering both volumes together at the same time
Well. Sometimes I like my call volume higher than my notifications. This is also not a V10 issue. I believe that this is the way Android itself handles the volume controls. The only device I know of that has one volume for all sounds is Apple's iPhone.

Some older android phones had them stuck together... it may of been an OS thing or a manufacture thing. I do know at one point they had a checkbox to unlink them, and man was that a good day.
