[Q] Master Volume - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

Hey All....just picked up this phone and came from NS4G.
I've tried finding information online and only found some lame answers....
I want a Master Volume Control....using the rocker only turns down the phone, but all the other things stay turned up all the way. Anyone find/have something that will help alleviate this other than turning them down individually?
Thanks!

you can change the master volume to setting>sound>volume or can try play store, used to have a widget that controlled all volume...can't recall which one, that was back in G1 days.

Sticky Volume

The "marcini.thinkblu-tilt2 vol increase.cab" posted elsewhere on this forum makes the volume level on my TP2 tolerable (and thank you for that!) but I still have one issue...
Whenever I turn my phone off and then back on, the volume level resets to somewhere in the middle. I know it is petty, but I hate fumbling around with the volume to raise it back up. I want it to stay at the maximium level *always*.
How can I force the my phone to always boot up with the headset volume set to the highest setting? Thanks!
probably a registry setting somewhere here. Back up your registry (or phone) before making changes.
HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\InCall
Thanks, but I found and tried that one as well as "InCall2" and "InCall3" without any luck.
I also found and tried "SavedInCallVolume" and "SavedVolume" - I think I've tried every setting in the registry that seems like it might have anything to do with volume, but still haven't gotten anywhere. Everytime I cycle power it goes back to the middle setting :-(

flash another rom that woud solve it. now where is my $10?
I certainly haven't tried all available ROM's, but I'm sure that none of the ones that I have tried handle the volume any differently than any other...
Please make sure you understand what I am asking, point me to a specific ROM that works the way I want, and I will happily send you $10!

[Solved] Random Max In-Call Volume & Max In-Call Volume on each reboot

Whenever I make or receive a call, I see my in-call volume at maximum level! I don't understand why it keeps doing this? I noticed this problem on all 3 of note 2. I keep adjusting to low but randomly just gets reseted to max again. Anyone else having the same issue with T-Mobile Note 2?
Update: finally found the culprit of this problem. The app "Tango" video chat messes with the in-call volume. Once account & app was uninstalled even after the reboot in-call volume setting never changed. Everything stayed as I left it and no more random MAX in-call volume.
Video to show what Tango is doing to my in-call volume.
Nobody has this issue? how come all 3 of my Note 2 has this issue =/
Anyone?
Sorry, this doesn't help but I usually keep my in-call volume at max so I haven't noticed this.

Thanks for the reply. I don't know how you keep the volume at max.. maybe it's just my phones but it's too painfully loud for me.
Would you mind trying to lower the call volume to lowest setting and restart the phone? See if the call volume goes back to max, I would really appreciate that.
For whatever the reason, the volume setting is not getting saved. So annoying since everytime i answer a call, it's trying to blow my eardrums out!
I'm guessing nobody has this in-call volume issues on their T-mobile Note2? Should I be considering an exchange....??
Just FYI multiple post saying anyone? Anyone? Pple just find annoying. Not trying to be rude. But from what I noticed from posts from other forums. Is when pple do that. They will never receive help or a reply from someone. Especially when the OP keeps doing that all in the same day.
Sometimes if you want help. You need patience. Especially here on xda. Pple here don't live there lives to help you. Right when you make a new post. Sometimes it could take days or even a week or two. But I'm positive if you don't do multiple post like this. And wait or even search the web. Even user a different phone. You will find ur answer. Remember google is ur best friend.
Anyways I don't no if its because of my rom or not but mind keeps going to vibrate and I have to keep turning it back to sound + vibrate
Oh ya you also have to be detailed when asking questions. Are you rooted or not. Stock or flashed a rom. Which rom. ...you get the point. The more you tell use the more likely a chance someone will help you. If you choose not to look it up urself
My bad, wasn't trying to be annoying or anything. I searched around in many different forums but still no answers and didn't get any replies on this issue, even the t-mobile support didn't know what was causing this issue. I guess I was running thin on patience.
I'm running all on stock and all 3 devices does this. T-Mobile sales rep said maybe it's part of the feature.. But we all know that's b/s. Changing in-call volume randomly doesn't sound much like a great feature to me....

Ya unfortunately that sucks. If you were rooted I would say try to flash a different rom. But since ur not my best guess would be to search around for an app that has something to do with volume/ in call volume. There's an app for everything these days. Ur just gunna have to read all the details in every volume app you can find. I'm sure there's something. Good luck. If you happen to find something. Post it hear in case others run into the same problem as you in the future.
Am I the only one with this problem? I wish some of the same device/carrier users would give me some feedbacks so I can figure out what to do....
you talking about in call volume or ringer volume? if its in call volume im pretty sure that if i lower it during a phone call it stays that volume even on the next call
im not 100% sure though...and im not sure if it stands through a reboot but i am pretty sure...cause i dont leave my in call volume on max because it is quite loud and distorted...if it always went back up to max i probably wouldve noticed..again not 100% sure

It's the in-call volume. I have no idea what's causing this... When I lower the volume it will stay that way only for that call and next call or sometimes even during the call volume goes up to max randomly. It's driving me nuts cause it's so loud and I can't even answer the call without worrying its gonna blow my eardrums!
I tried restoring factory but that didn't help and all three of my Note 2 do this so I'm lost here. Not like I rooted and modified anything, all is in stock.
Would you mind trying to put in-call volume to lowest and rebooting the phone? See if it goes back to max by default. That's how mine is set to every reboot.

i just tested it...called myself...i put the volume to 50%...hung up..called myself back..volume was still at 50%...idk if it will randomly go up...we'll see lol
if it does..that would be an annoying bug...one i probably wouldnt have noticed if i didnt read this thread...so if i start noticing it i blame you!

Try rebooting, see if that setting sticks.
It does this all randomly. Setting will stay that way for awhile and all of sudden max volume.

yeah..volume went back to max after reboot
try this
go to dialer -> call settings -> my call sound...there are 2 options that might help you...one for sound settings (maybe choosing one of them will help you) or personalize call sound..that one asks you to plug in ear phones..im not sure what happens after you run that test and if it only applies to earphones but you can try it

Why would it do that... It's not suppose to. I never had that issue with ATT Note, N7000 and i9300... I get the feeling many people just don't pay too much attention to it and when it does go up, people just lower the volume and forget about it.
Whatever the reason setting of the in-call volume isn't being saved. And something is making it to go back to default. Just don't know what though...
Keep your eye on that volume, and check if it goes up randomly.
P.S. I really appreciate the replies, been waiting for awhile.

Yeah, I really didn't want to annoy anyone but this little bug was driving me insane. Spending hours with T-Mobile tech supports weren't even helpful either. I hope it isn't a defective unit... Please let me know if you notice this issue! Thanks again =)
I think I found the culprit. Seems like "Jays headset control" app was causing this issue. It was never an issue on any other device but not sure why it's causing on note2. I uninstalled the app yesterday and so far problem hasn't come back yet. Time will tell but so far so good.
Thanks for looking and replying to my post. I can finally relax!
Update: wasn't jays app... Still having issue.

Can I prevent my phone from automatically lowering media volumem

So I'm running the latest version of Lifeless ROM and thus far, things are great. However, I'm still bugged about my phone automatically lowering the volume of my music/games every time my headphones/aux cable gets unplugged. A minor issue, yes, but an annoying one nonetheless. Is there a way to get rid of this? Thanks.

I don't think there is. There's two independent volume levels for headsets and speakers. What you're talking about is in place to prevent your movie or game from being blasted in a public place.
Essentially an embarrassment saver.
So I think you're one in a few for thinking this should be removed...

No I would love to remove it. Every time I plug my phone into my car, I have to turn the volume back up. Its to protect your ears and hearing when you put head phones in.
Most CM and customs ROMS remove the feature, or have the option to turn it off. Hopefully we'll get a ROM with the option soon.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
i've looked up and down every menu to find that option and it's not there...

Exactly. I was afraid I'd have to wait for CM or another AOSP ROM to do so, but as I said earlier, it's not *that* big of a deal; just a pain in the neck.

I'd have to agree, it's a total pain in the butt for me. If anyone does happen to come up with a way to disable it, beers are on me, lol.

[Q] Volume level too low

I recently bought an Optimus G Pro and I keep thinking it was difficult to hear at work, so on a whim, I decided to go back to the at&t store with a set of headphones and listen to some other phones to see if I was just going deaf.......nope. The Samsung S4 was much louder than mine and the HTC One was so loud I actually had to turn it down. I listen to music all day at work...so I am considering returning my phone for an HTC unless someone can help me fix this, its not acceptable. I love everything else, including the generous screen size....but if I can't hear my tunes while cycling or at work, the nice screen is all but useless. Help me Obi Wan......
Thanks

I tried several apps, but non seemed to do much of anything.....so I guess I could give that one a shot.
Any links to provide a good resource for rooting the device?

volume + works great with headphone , just tried it. I went to youtube.com instead of using the app was able to pull the video from the web. Just blow it up then minimize it and u use it as a qslide. Ok, sorry got excited didnt know i could do that but i was playing with volume+ while the music video was playing and it works great with both simple setting and the custome Eq settings :good:

[Q] buttons through material

Hi, if thinking of upgrading to this phone from a galaxy s3.
I just wondered can I press the volume buttons when the phone is in my pocket through the material.
That way I can skip my music and change radio stations without getting my phone out.
Thanks, Tim.
Yes there's no reason why you couldn't. This is assuming you get used the position of the back buttons.

Yeah, you can press the buttons through clothing
But correct me if I'm wrong, isn't track skipping with volume keys an ROM feature?
I have yet to see it on stock LG G3 but I haven't really searched for it either, I also don't use anything xposed either so I can't search in there

Correct, well actually you can do it with xposed and g3 tweaks box. If you wanted to root its a simple fix, but it doesn't exist in the stock ROM.
Thanks for your help. I usually use poweramp and spirit fm radio. I know the radio one has the option to skip in the settings, but my s3 is rooted anyway.
