1 - In the car sometimes it adjusts the bluetooth volume to like half. When I try to turn it louder it gives me a message about playing at too high volume, blah blah.. I don't use a headset, so I would appreciate the message going away for good.
2 - I had a cigarette lighter adapter for the car, but I found out if it's in use, it blocks the radio and makes it static. So I started plugging my phone in to the car's USB port. After about 15 or 20 seconds it minimizes whatever I am doing and pops up a message about not being able to access data on the computer. Any way to disable that? Annoying because I have YouTube full screen playing then I have to hit a button to get that message to go away.
#1 I figured out. Settings -> Sounds and Vibration ->Volume -> Three Dots -> Media volume limiter -> Turn On -> Turn limiter all the way up
#2 still no clue.

#2 - try a different car charger. That solved this problem for me in the past.

For some reason it doesn't work on mine, I turned that feature on and then set the volume all the way up, but it still makes me confirm turning the volume up everytime I reboot. my phone is also originally a Verizon S9 plus but I'm on the T-Mobile version of Pie.

Thank you so much! (Update: That only works until the phone is restarted; once it's restarted, you'll have to do this again.)
Fortunately, after spending over an hour in the settings, I found a way to do it permanently:
Enable Developer Options
In Developer Options, search for Absolute Volume, then turn it off.
If you've never turned on Developer Options, you can do so easily by:
Go to the Settings page
Scroll down and select "About Phone"
Tap on "Software Information"
Locate "Build Number"
Tap on "Build Number" seven times in rapid succession, then enter your PIN

Thanks for this! I thought this was finally gonna be the solution but I'm STILL getting the high volume warning every time I reboot!! I'm on the latest U1 update, CSAA. So now I have the media volume limiter turned on with the volume all the way to the max, AND I have disabled absolute volume in developer options.

Same problem here.. no 3 dots showing. However found a solution:
1. download QuickShortcutMaker from play store.
2. Search for "media volume limiter" (it's under settings)
3. Click try.

Something has happened to my x10. The sound has somehow switched from the speaker to only the earpiece. I cant hear anything from the speaker at all.
Is there something I can do to get the sound back on the speaker? Be default, the sound should really work on the speaker on default for all media unless earphones are connected and all calls on the earpiece. Currently everything is working on the earpiece only.
What has gone wrong here?
Lets first check out, if its a hardware or software failure.
Go to the lock screen and press: "menu > back > back > menu > back > menu > menu > back"
Now you're in the service menu.
There you hit "Service tests" and "Speaker".
Make sure to gain Volume to max.
After you tried that out, we'll continue in searching a solution

Recently I've noticed a problem that I most certainly didn't have before. The problem is that the in call volume keeps going down to around 50% with every new call. When I receive or make a call, the in call volume is around 50%, which is not enough for me. So I make it louder to 100% and can talk just fine. Unfortunately, with a new call the volume goes down again to the same default volume around 50%, which means I have to turn the volume up every time I receive or make a call. This is really annoying. I'm absolutely positive that I did not have the problem before. What might cause the problem and what can be done about it?
P.S. Settings >>> Sound >>> Volume - all the sliders are on the right.

Go to Phone -> Call settings -> My Call sound.
You can try this. Or use the extra volume button when calling someone.

I have tried that (both checking and unchecking the option) - the problem remains. The extra volume button is not an option since tapping it every time is even more annoying than increasing the volume with the Volume Up button.

As a last resort, I finally did. It worked. Luckily, I had a two week old nandroid backup, so, hating to restore all the apps and settings manually, I just fell back to that backup. It appears that I did not have the problem in question two weeks ago, so after restoring from the backup I got back all my apps and settings with no in call volume issue. But it is still unclear what caused the problem and how to fix it if it pops up again.
you have to set the volume to 100 in audio settings, doing so will save the settings. also you can get some extra volume by going into dialer call settings and tick "use extra vol for calls"

But "extra volume" icon is not activated for next call and have to re-tap it to enable again. That's bad.
Despite having no lock screen set, I cannot get the volume button long press to work to load the applications. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? The option is enabled, and I've only disabled applications that deal with the voice recognition stuff from LG.
Edit: Go figure... After half an hour of research and trying different things it only works after I posted this question. I have no idea what I did differently.

I assume your talking about the screen off press and hold to launch camera or quick note trick? I've noticed a couple Times it hasn't worked right for me, but it usually does.
Make sure your screen is off, and press vol down and hold for a good couple seconds and it should launch the shortcut. Also make sure the proximity sensor isn't covered. Mine didn't work at all when it was covered, which is the same for the double tap to wake.
Btw, do you know how to change what the button launches? I like the camera but don't care for quick note, and didn't see a way to change it.

I have found they will not launch for me if I am in a Chromecast session, or playing some music with the screen off through the phone's speaker. I am assuming that was my problem since I can't replicate it under any other circumstances.
There is an option in the phone's menu system to turn it on or off, but it does not allow for the shortcut to be changed. We'll have to wait for custom ROMs to give us this feature.

Yeah that does make sense. And I didn't think they were changeable but it's good to know this is confirmed.
Guys i was in my settings a few minutes ago and i came across a feature which enabled me to open up my notifications by just tapping the screen so i enabled it and went to the homescreen to test it! Upon tapping the screen the phone started maing a beeping noise and a blue line started scrolling continously downward on the screen! I cant turn the phone off ! I only seem to be able to reboot it which doesnt help! I needto power the phone off i assume and then maybe do a hard reset??? Advice needed please
anyone?
What setting did you access I don't believe anybody will be able to help if we don't know where you went and what you changed. The things you mention are very vague and don't really paint a picture of what is happening.
Also if you want to turn the phone off without using the on screen settings just hold onto the power button for about 10 seconds it should turn off, after that hold power, home button, and volume up to go into recovery to reset or what ever it is you please.
Also is it showing you an X and Y axis? If so then you just go into settings, developer settings, show screen updates and turn that off the grid should go away. I am not sure what your issue is but that seems like the most likely option.
This isn't my first Galaxy S device so I know my way around all the settings but this one has me scratching my head. When my device is in 'Sound' mode my phone still vibrates when receiving notifications and I'm not seeing an option to turn it off in the Settings or Notification settings. Is anyone else running this issue? or is my phone just odd?
go into settings -> sounds and vibration -> vibration intensity
find the notification slider and turn it all to the left to turn vibrations off entirely

Yup, vibration intensity should give you all the adjustments you need for calls, notifications, etc.
The only problem with this method is that when my device is in 'Vibrate' mode, my device won't vibrate when I receive a notification. I even went to Bestbuy to check out their demo devices, and it turned out that even their devices were missing that option. I don't understand how/why Samsung would leave out such important feature. Fortunately for us, Samsung is one of those companies that actually listen and care about what their consumers want so hopefully they'll release a firmware update that addresses this issue.

I don't want my phone to vibrate while it rings or whenever I receive a text message. I want my phone to vibrate when in 'Vibrate' mode.
Same problem here. They completely removed the option to have your phone not vibrate with texts when sound is on. Wtf
