For the life of me I can not figure out why stock us998h is so quiet on Bluetooth, I've tried changing the profiles under dev options it won't allow it. My Nexus 6 was so much better in this regard.
Am I missing something?

Hey guys,
I was wondering It seems that other phones have come with beats settings? is it true that ours only has an on/off option? if so i must say that is quite ****ty... or maybe i just cant seem to find the settings, fairly confident i have searched everywhere in this phone n this phone does have quite a few hidden settings so i may be wrong
Thanks in advanced!
Hmmm, I have never seen any beats settings on the phones I have used. Are you sure they were Beats settings and not a mod of some sort that was added in by a developer?

there are no beats settings persay, just audio options, beats works only when headset is plugged in
they're called enhancements(audio)
There are no settings, just an on/off when headphones are plugged in.
Beats works through bluetooth as well.
Thanks for clarifing. i guess im just used to dsp manager from cyanogenmod on my dinc, it probably was a modded version where i saw settings for beats!

beats is an on/off switch.
u can really tell when using the beats headphones.

It's a significant difference my car too (using wired aux cable). The sound may actually be better than the in-dash CD player.

Beats is just an equalizer, making it sound better. It makes bass louder, as most small devices have little audible bass, and slightly tweaks existing settings to make an overall better sound experience. If your car stereo doesn't have real equalizer settings, just the treble/bass/middle that most do, then yes, your phone probably would sound better.
Hey guys, I just replaced a Sony deck with the Smart and I LOVE it so far. It's taking some tweaking to get it how I want it, and to get it to do what I want it to do and why I chose it over Appradio. I have it rooted, and I've got the Play Store working great. The lack of a volume knob is a drag, but I'm hoping to fix that with PullOpenSettings. I have 3 unsolved issues so far:
**1. The Sony deck it replaced had separate HPF/LPF so that it could ensure that only bass went to the subs, and I was also able to remove most of the bass that went to my regular speakers since they don't really handle bass at the volumes I listen to. I see that I can set the crossover frequency for the subs and that's great, but is there an app that will allow me to adjust the bass to the speakers without affecting the sub? I've searched high and low and I've yet to find one.
**2. I cannot get my Bluetooth ELM OBD adapter to pair. I read in an Amazon review that "All I had to do was install the Bluetooth apk and it worked perfectly" I'm not sure what 'Bluetooth apk' he's referring to, but I'd sure like to know!
**3. Lastly, why can't I get this to Bluetooth tether to my Nexus 4 running CM 10.1? Yes, I have Bluetooth tethering enabled in the phone and in the head unit, and dual-mode is off. If you look at each other's profiles on the other, there's Phone Audio and Media Audio, but no profile for PAN. I'd read somewhere that installing Open Garden Wifi Tether would fix this. I didn't see how it could, but I sideloaded it to my phone and of course it didn't work. I just can't figure out how to give the deck PAN.
***Any Help with any of these would be appreciated!! Thank you!
Hi, I bought this device to replace a recently deceased Zune HD 64, but I'm finding the audio output really, really poor. It's so quiet.
At the moment I'm running the stock ROM 2.2.2, but I'm looking to improve this as using PowerAmp and it's Replay Gain setting just makes everything sound awful. The best solution I've found is to turn off EQ/Tone/Limit in Poweramp and disable Replay Gain
Is there some way to improve this? Installing a certain ROM for example? Is Direct Volume Control available on other ROMs and does it make any difference at all?
Not sure whether to install another ROM/Root the device as I'm looking for suitable performance & battery life.
Thanks for any replies/help received.

Other than that, disable "Direct Volume Control" in Poweramp. As a result, the maximum volume will stay the same, but the output of the voulme bar will be remarkably more gradual before the maximum is reached. Also, turning the EQ off might help if you want to listen to your music on a "flat" setting, though my advice is to switch to "loud": if distorsion occurs, lower the preamp bar.
I own another Samsung device, but if you browse through the forum I'm sure you can find custom roms containing audio tweaks.

Really? That's odd. When I was just using PowerAmp alone on my 4.0 it made everything sound great (I turned off limit), and yes DVC does make quite the difference. However, my solution is to use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191223 Viper4Android. You can easily increase the audio output without losing sound quality. However, you need to update your Android OS to at least version 2.3. If you have the Galaxy Player 4.0. You can root it, install a custom kernel and install Voodoo Sound https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.projectvoodoo.controlapp&hl=en which also can increase the audio output on the player.
Hi everyone, as stupid as it sounds, after many years of using android I just noticed that using equalizers ( and i've tried many of them ) causes the volume to drop. I have discovered that this is standard behaviour since android lowers everything by -6dB to avoid clipping when setting frequencies to +6dB.
Since my phone can't really drive my headphones much, is there a way to bypass this behaviour without using apps or rooting the phone?
Note that the maximum Volume is limited by the hardware. So the only way to have equalizing at maximum Volume is to lower the overall volume. You may be able to work around this by using an audio player that ships its own audio library or has an amplification function. Maybe BlackPlayer works. Note that this will only change the behavior of the music player and that you may experience clipping.
If you want to do changes for all apps there is no way around a custom kernel (or rooting at least) that I am aware of.
The thing is that the stock presets inclued for example in my JBL Headphones app work fine, but as soon as i try to modify one of them the volume drops. This is true for other equalizers too, for example the stock samsung one. It has something to do with how the personalization is handled i guess.
I am currently using a rooted phone with MyAndroidTools to check inside the databases to see if i can find something to tweak but no luck so far.
Hello,
This issue has been driving me insane. It seems like some simple, artificial limitation that no one seems to circumvent. As the title suggests, I'm trying to force phone calls and especially VoiP calls (Discord, whatsapp..etc), to go through the high bitrate A2DP profile instead of the horrible HSP/HFP profile that butchers audio quality and uses the horrible bluetooth microphone.
For instance when music is streamed through a bot in Discord i have to listen to it in horrible earpiece-level phone call quality.
I feel like there's got to be a tweak, a Magisk module, a custom ROM functionality with root access that allow for this, something.. I found a couple old XDA posts about this but no solutions. Oh and also tried Lesser AudioSwitch on multiple Android versions, none worked.
It seems inherent to all bluetooth headphones which is a shame, they could cost 10k $, but the quality would still be sh*t in calls, both in and out, since mic is not close to the mouth.
I always loved Android for giving users more control, but sadly seems like this is more and more going away. What i want here, can very easily be done on PC.
Thank you for your time reading, really hope someone can help.
