Hi guys
Hope I am posting this in the right place. I'm looking for an app that allows me to increase the volume on my gs2 by smaller increments than the volume rocker does standard? Basically every time i hit up or down on the volume rocker the difference is huge. I can't seem to find the right volume for music. One notch will be too quiet, the next one up is too loud. My setup is:
2.3.4 stock, unrooted
Equalizer app custom eq
poweramp eq
Ultimate ears super fi noise isolating headphones
I use these settings and apps because standard it sounds rubbish. i've finally got my sounds right, but can't get the right volume! I've tried heaps of apps from the market, volume+, volume control, etc. All increase the volume by the standard 10% increment rather than the 5% i'm looking for. Fine volume control sort of worked, but it seemed after i adjusted the volume it would quickly revert in a second or two.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi, that shouldn't be happening; are you using the hardware volume buttons to change the volume? You have to use the dial or in-app sliders to modify the volume, if you use any other app to change the volume (or the rocker buttons), then it will move in larger increments.
If you need more a longer time to trial it, then PM/email me your UUID (menu/preferences then hold down your back button)
Thanks, I will give this another try and report back.

With some more experimentation, this works really well, so I bought it two things I was wondering about though, is there any way to lock volume, as I must be knocking as it shoots right up, and is there any way to save as a preset?

Presets are a possible future addition.
Not sure about volume lock, there are apps in the market like "RingGuard" and "Volume Locker" which would work - but only if you moved the volume enough to trigger an API level volume change, which is approx every 10-20%.

The volume slider shoots up when you press the hardware volume buttons? That's normal - it's because of how your device volume is calibrated (by the ROM).
The default volume stages aren't evenly spread across the entire available range. Our app shows the full range available, so when you press the volume buttons (from outside our app) it can appear to jump. It is effectively jumping, because the default API doesn't allow you to access those volume levels that lie between jumps (but you can with fine volume).
Basically, all other volume control apps and the Android system show the volume in terms of API volume levels. Fine volume control shows the volume in terms of the full available range. All other apps (and the volume hardware buttons) change the volume in terms of API levels.
It shoots up when using the dial. I've tried changing the sensitivity as well. Seems to always shoot media volume to 94%. It only does this occasionally though. All in all a great app!

Just to confirm, the dual on the far left is the overall volume? So if I am at 90% media volume but 7% overall, the media volume is 90% of the 7%, not of its possible maximum?

No, each slider is independent from the rest (ringer and notification are locked together though). There is no overall volume control.
The slider on the left (Android logo) is "System" volume, things like Screen lock sounds.
I have a rooted HTC Desire running Cyanogenmod 7 for which I wanted fine volume control. I like to be able to change volume using the rocker but it instantly shoots to 100% and that is extremely painful when using canalphones. I have uninstalled fine volume control 2 because I don't want to run the risk of insane volume levels.
Does anyone have any idea if this can be built into the volume API and have reliable hardware control?

Were you using the dial/overlay to change the volume?
Did the overlay not respond to your initial gesture, then suddenly "catch-up"?
Were you turning the volume up when it jumped?
I'm really sorry about this, I'll try and put in some volume limiter to prevent it happening.

Sorry for the late reply.
Dial/overlay worked as expected. what was causing problems was accidental use of the hardware buttons. Because that is what I am used to using. The app does not change hardware button behaviour and actually makes it worse as the volume can go almost instantly from 0 to 100% when touching the rocker.

The main volume app component overrides the hardware buttons and increases/decreases the volume by 1% each time you tap the button.
If the main volume app isn't currently on top, it can't override the hardware buttons (the overlay can't override either). It's a limitation of the Android system.
Each time you hit the hardware buttons from outside of the app, the volume will change in the default way (15 stages for media).
I've had a few reports of a bug when using earphones on the SGSII of erratic volume levels, so I have since added a volume limiter for when using headphones to workaround that sort of issue.
Hi all guys ..
I have a little problem with infinity virtuous 1.35 beta1.
I sometimes happens that the volume goes down alone.
I pressing on the volume keys and set the volume to maximum and also controlling in audio settings the volume is set to maximum.
But with the values to the maximum the phone feels low....
ex: when people call me, when I get a message WhatsApp etc. ... the volum is very low
does anyone know how to fix it?
Thanks in advance

The workaround is to use a volume boosting app like volume+ it works really well.

I was wondering if anyone is hardware level control of the headphone out?
I would like some more power for my headphones. The equalizer trick doesn't really work well.
Try a new rom (if you're rooted) flash HYPERDRIVE RSL11(latest version) and while you're on the aroma installation it will give u the option to increase the volume of your speakers, headphones, call etc.. To 50% louder or ridiculously to a 100% more so for example your phone volume it's at 50% on volume, with that choice if you choose the 50% increase your phones volume will b at 100% instead of 50% and if you chose 100% then it will be at a 150% Louder.
Trust me I'm using that rom and it works awesome but be aware that could damage your speakers or ears and also it has some issues, not so bug. Your signal will only go away for a couple seconds at boot but other than that, that's it...

This works for me and I'm on Tmobile stock ROM unrooted.

If you are rooted...You can manually edit audio output % in buildprop also.
There are plenty of guides out there, but it's not too complicated..
I find the ring volume a bit too low, and i tried with Volume + app
When i test some music from the phone, it sounds really loud ( nice ) but when i receive a call, same song or ringtone i tried from the phone, isn´t the same, it´s lower the volume.
Is there a way to fix that ? I really want the ringer volume louder.
Thank you
If you have dsp manager or any other sound mods installed on your device you can try to disable them and only run volume +.

I did already but still same situation.
It should ring at the same volume, for music listening from the sd card and for the incoming calls / ring volume ?
Maybe Volume + doesen´t work for ring volume

Volume+ is for gingerbread not for jb. If you are rooted flash a custom kernel or flash a sound mod

Sorry, i thought Volume + is for JB too
But it sounds louder when i listening music, with Volume + enabled. And i thought, it should work for incoming calls, too
What would you recommend, instead Volume + ?
Thank you

Hello All,
I just happened to get a new pair of headphones and found out that on Android (at least on stock lg roms) media volume and BT volume are not linked together?
Apparently this was solved in 6.0.1 but we dont have that and it is so annoying to have to adjust volume at two separate locations.
Does anyone have a bypass or way to link them together :S
Does nobody else have this?
When changing the volume from Bluetooth headphones it does not change device volume ... And it does not go to full volume either... Have to max that and then change phones volume from volume keys.
Is this how it is designed?
