[Q] How to keep media volume from resetting? - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

I plug my phone into my car's Aux port every time I'm in the car, and every time I do, it reverts the media volume to 50%, which is too quiet to hear in my car.
How can I keep it at 100%?
I'm rooted on stock rom.

I have wondered the same thing. It is probably for headphones to keep the music from blasting out your eardrums because you left the volume all the way up. I tried to figure out how well disable it as well but i don't think it can be avoided on stock Rom.

Volume auto-lowers on headphone insert?

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

Music stops with slightest disturbance to headphone jack

When I rotate/disturb the headphone jack even slightly, the music player pauses. I'm guessing this is a hardware issue (I've tried with multiple headphones and the problem remains).
Is there an app to fix this? Is there a way to set the stock ICS player to not pause when the headphone gets disconnected and will this actually help? Is there a 3rd pary music player that can do this? Is there an alternate do-it-yourself hardware fix I can try? I really don't want to go through the hassle of giving it for warranty, since it would involve shipping to the UK but I desperately need a solution :/
Thanks
Well first tell what device do u use?

You might have a hardware defect with your headphone jack, but I just did a test.
If you have headphones in, and unplug them, it will pause the music. The same goes for bluetooth. Last night I was playing music over bluetooth to my cars sterio, and normally I would hit pause on the stereo before exiting the car, so my phone doesn't keep playing. But I had forgot to do that, and my phone didn't keep playing.
I think this is either a function of ICS or the Galaxy Nexus, as my previous phones would just keep playing when disconnecting from bluetooth.

Poweramp has an option for what happens when disconnecting. I think by default music pauses for all.

Thanks, will try the PowerAMP trial version, if it works out will spring for it. By the by, is there any decent free music player that can do this?
Almost every Android phone I've owned would automatically pause when removing the head phone jack. I listen in my car and just unplug it when I'm done.
Also I had some weirdness with headphone jacks before. For one they are open all the time and normally on top so lent just falls down in there. Fortunately the nexus is at the bottom so hopefully gravity helps this. Sometimes the jack you use doesn't make good contact. Supposedly you used different ones so I'd say that is eliminated. Probably just a bent pin or something. I wouldn't risk attempting to do this yourself.
I had one where it would think it was in headset mode all the time and would route all audio to it thus I would miss everything. I ended up doing a warranty exchange.

VZW Nexus headphone recognition - App for that?

Not sure where or what to search for on this issue but it's been killing me with my Nexus for the past few months.
Coming from a couple of HTC phones one thing I really liked about them, which might have been Sense feature, was the phone having two completely separate audio volumes one for when headphones were plugged in and another for when the phone was hooked up via Bluetooth.
My problem is I listen to music very low with headphones at work, then unplug them before getting into my truck, automatically hooking up to the Bluetooth to stream and the volume stays at the low headphone volume. To hear it over truck stereo I need to turn the phone BT volume all the way up. Fast forward to when I sit back down at work to listen to music, my headphone volume is back to the last BT volume or maxed out. Just a real annoyance and find it hard to believe this is the way Google designed it and has nothing in place when I'm having an off day and don't manually fix it before I listen to my headphones again and blast my eardrums like I did yesterday.
Is this how the Nexus should handle BT and Headphone volumes? Is there any kind of fix for this?
Thanks in advance

[Q]Turn off text notification on silent/vibrate with headphones in?

When im listening to music and the phone is in silent or vibrate it still plays a notification through my headphones and mutes my music while. Its quite annoying, can I shut it off because I cant find it.
Edit:Also if I use my moto wall usb charger which is 5.1v will it be bad for my phone since one that comes with phone is 5v?

[Q] LG E973 Headphone jack problem?

This is my first thread here so i apologize if i'm in the wrong section. I have searched for previous threads related to this problem but didn't find anything about this specific issue.
So i bought my Optimus G a few months ago when it was first released in Canada and everything was working fine until i bricked the damn thing trying to flash custom ROMs (i'm new to the android world and didn't exactly know what i was doing..). LG was nice enough to flash the original ROM on the phone despite the fact that it was rooted and all.
Since then i didn't re-root the phone by fear of messing it up again but i did unlock it since i needed to use in on a european carrier.
Everything is working fine on the phone running on 4.1.2 except for this one problem. Whenever i'm listening to music with headphone or an aux. cable for the car there seems to be some connection issue. The music will play fine but after about 15 / 20min the sound will become all jittery and the music will constantly shift from very loud to very low . At this point the volume rocker will only control the phone volume (ringer) instead of the headset volume as if it didn't detect the headset anymore. Then i just need to unplug the headset and plug it back. It's not a huge deal but it gets pretty annoying and this happens EVERY TIME i listen to music. I tried a bunch of different players / headphones and it still happens.
I was wondering if anyone had experienced the same thing, not sure if it's a software thing or if there's a connection problem in my headphone jack.
Also, i find the maximum volume on the phone to be a bit low, is there anyway to jack it up a bit? i tried different equalizers to try and boost the volume but it doesn't seem to make any difference.
Thanks in advance, cheers
Have you tried a complete factory reset?
You can back up existing data using the backup app.

Did you make sure to look that there isn't anything obstructing the head phone port? the canned air stuff for computers works amazing to clean it out.
Worst comes to worst, it is replaceable... I haven't tried to replace one yet myself but I can look into it in the near future if you would like, (ease, price etc.)
Thanks guys i will try both these options and let you know how it worked out
Again thanks a bunch!
