Is there -- any way to set the default volume level for when headphones are plugged in?
Whenever I plug headphones (or a stereo cable) in it defaults to a lower volume level. If I increase the volume to max and remove the headphones it remains at max.. but when the headphones are plugged in again- it again defaults to the lower volume level.
I use one of these in my car and listen to Pandora whenever I drive.
I hate routines/ repetition/ anything that prevents me from just getting in my car and going.
Place phone in dock.
Attach charger extension cord to phone.
Attach auxillary/ stereo cord to phone.
Open Pandora.
Set volume on device to max.
Press and hold the CD button to switch to Auxiliary.
Adjust car to preferred volume.
I have an Eclipse '07- it doesn't come with an auxiliary connection so you have to connect one manually to the harness (unused pins) and press/ hold the CD button to get to it. Also, whenever the car is turned off/ on it switches to the Radio on default. This is pretty annoying considering the radio is a LOT louder than what the device outputs- so every time I start my car it blasts annoying sounds if I forget to turn it down right away. Maybe some day I'll rip that thing apart and figure out a way to change the default.
It's been the same 'routine' since September 2010 when I bought an iPhone-- and now (since I switched to a E4GT) I have to set the volume every time.
Taking items off that list will make me a very happy person. Perhaps one of these days I'll buy a new head unit w/ blue-tooth and install a custom script that will do everything I need on the device with a touch of a button.

I tried finding an answer before posting and had no luck.
Apparently this thread was hiding in plain sight.

I was on the train yesterday, listening to my music and blocking out the stench of the rat race, as you do, when my battery died.
I plugged in a portable charger and restarted. Now, the volume on the headphones is on max and I can't adjust it. As I use the volume keys, the standard [Media Volume] bar appears and moves up and down, even down to mute, but the volume in my headphones stays the same.
I do love my tunes banging, but occasionally I would like to go down to 9. Any ideas?
The media volume works with the speaker.
The phone recognises the headset when plugged in.
I have tried different normal headphones without the in-line microphone.
I am using RCMix S v1.1 A2SD+ (which has been awesome up to now)
Connect your phone to a stereo with a standard 3.5mm audio cable and set media volume to max. Play some music, eject the cable, plug it back in, resume playing music. For some reason the audio volume is automatically lowered. Increasing it back to max works just fine but you do get a notification saying "Loud music may harm your hearing if you listen to it for a long time" while you do that.
I only listen to music in my car using aux 3.5mm. I control volume using the headunit and this "feature" is annoying as heck.
Any way to disable the volume auto-lowering?
thats the way all of them work, also was the same on old galaxy s device. happens on ipad also.
i think the reason is they dont want you blowing your brains out when you plug your headphones in if you forgot to turn down the media volume before you unplugeed them
I've been in HTC world for past 5 years and never had a need for such feature... all I'm trying to figure out is how to disable this on my new sammy
I listen via the 3.5 port in my car and can confirm the original Epic 4G did NOT behave this way. (At least not when running stock--Voodoo drivers did do this by default but you could override them.)
It pisses me off too and the NS4G never did this when I had it. I can live with it but just annoying.
I solved it through tasker. Not elegant, but it works.
true, also a hack... solves one problem but creates another. when i DO use headphones i set volume low and taking 3.5mm out and back in resets volume to max. ouch
i wonder if there is a way in Tasker to simply re-set volume to whatever it was just before 3.5mm was inserted.
Yea, you can do this. Create a variable to hold the volume, update it whenever the media volume is changed. When headphones are plugged it, just set the volume based on the variable. Imo, this wouldn't help much though. If you insist on playing media at max volume through your car, you're still going to blow up your ears when you plug in headphones.
I'd recommend setting the volume offset on your stereo (slack on some radios, I think) to be ideal when the phone is at the reduced volume. This is what I do.

the issue at hand is a bit more complex. consider this scenario:
i'm in a car driving and someone calls me.
i pop out the 3.5mm and answer the call.
once done talking, i pop 3.5mm back in and resume music.
now the volume is NOT what it was since sgs2 lowered it automatically trying to "save" my hearing.
similar story happens when i get out of my car for few minutes and upon coming back in i constantly have to turn the volume back up.
changing the in-car headunit volume is not helping since my cell is not the only device used there. there is built-in radio, built-in cd player, other portable players, etc that i (and others) use. no need to tweak main system just because one of many devices is being an #!$le about media volume.
ugh, still looking for a right solution. i'll go ahead and try to mess with tasker but that will be just patching the problem, not solving it

I just recently Got my Note 2 a few days ago. The only complaint i really have is the volume control when using the headphone jack, I never use headphones, but i do use the jack to play music through my car stereo. When i unplug it and plug it in the volume drops to half (probably for hearing safety). Is there a way to override or disable this?
Try volume control+ from play store. I didnt test it on note2 but worked great on tmobile g2
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
I use Tasker to set my volume levels when I plug my headphones or my car aux cable in. It shows the hearing damage warning, but it sets the volume right where I want it.
Thanks Guys I will look into them. Much appreciated.

Can you post how you set the values maybe a screen shot? I can't seem figure out exactly what to set.
Car Audio profile using Headset Plugged state with No Mic option. (that's how it knows the difference between my headphones, and my car's auxiliary cord)
That enables Car Mode which sets the current Media Volume to a variable, then sets the Media Volume to 15.
Exit task sets it back to the value in the variable, which is what it was before I plugged in the Aux cable.
So I have a Bluetooth audio receiver that runs into my power amp. This would work really well, except that the ouya defaults to full volume on BT whenever you switch apps. This is not normal android behaviour, since my phone remembers BT volume between apps and indeed between pairings.
I understand that re-establishing normal android behaviour might be complicated, but is there a file I can modify that can make the default volume another value, like 50%, so that I don't explode my ears every time I exit an app?
Hello,
When I plug in my regular headphones/earbuds (Sennheiser CX 150) into the LG G4 (Sprint) when the screen is off, the phone mistakenly thinks I've plugged in a headset/mic combo (the status icon is the headset/mic), even though there is no mic, just earbuds. Annoyingly, the phone also wakes the screen and launches the Voice Mate app. Just because I've plugged in my earbuds while the screen was off.
But when I plug in those earbuds when the screen is already on/awake, the phone correctly recognizes them as headphones (no microphone) and doesn't launch the Voice Mate app, just sits there on whatever screen was displayed, but adds the headphone icon at the top of the screen (as it should for these earbuds).
Anyone know why the phone would do this misbehavior when plugging regular earbuds in while screen is off? As a work-around I've been waking my phone screen before plugging in the earbuds, but I'd prefer to understand why the phone is misbehaving like this when I try to plug in the earbuds when the screen is off?
Can I disable the voice mate launching at least? Almost as if the phone thinks I've done something to initiate that too, upon plugging in the earbuds with screen off.
Same problem in my car
When I plug my car's aux audio cable into the headphone jack of my G4, faiiiil. Same problem - - my " okay, Google" commands fall on deaf ears, because the mic has been silenced. This happens to me whether the screen is black or lit - - and annoyingly, there seems to be no way to change the mic setting manually. Unless someone here can enlighten me? THANKS!
Have a T-Mobile g4 and it works normal with my bose headphones screen on and off. Bluetooth works great. Aux wire used is a griffen flat cable and no issues on playback
I have the same weirdness when I plug in my aux cable in my car - I get the wired headset icon, or some other icon that I don't recognize (it looks like a sideways s with a plug on the end). Sprint version.
The simple-est fix is this .. Plug your usb cord into your computer and your phone at the same time... wait a minute, and then disconnect. It has fixed this issue SEVERAL times on my G4 .. hopefully the simple fix does the trick for you as well
Same issue here. I'm starting to think it's a static electricity thing too? Like, the first time I plug in, it incorrectly classifies it. But if I unplug and try again, it usually works.
Sometimes, when I'm on the USB cable when I try, it works. But I really get bothered by the mischaracterization of earbuds as a headset that launches the voice recognition, so annoying!
So keep monitoring the patterns, see if you can influence it through static discharge/grounding, or screen on/off, angle of audio cable insertion, or whatever. Seems to me like it's not totally 100% predictable though.
