Power Amp Volume Rocker? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4

I know on the S2 and S3 you could use the volume rocker to change songs while the screen is off but so far I have tried 4 or 5 roms on my S4 and it doesn't work. It just increases or decreases the volume when you hold it down. Does anybody know if it works on the S4 or am I missing a setting or something. Thanks
EDIT:.
NENERMIND just installed LiquidSmooth and it works fine now...bump head.

For the record, on most AOSP ROMs, ut's in Settings -> Sound -> "Volume Rocker Music Controls". :good:

how to increase the ringer volume and otter noob questions

Hi please can somebody tell me how to increase the ringtone volume?
It possible to Change the clock on home screen with a clock with meteo, like Samsung note style?
I use Volume+ for volume increase and SimiClock for clock+weather. You can search for other clock and weather apps on market tho.
You should use HD Widgets for clock/weather. That's the one i use and i love it.

Ha i have use it but volume are really low for me
I too use Volume+, but I must be using it wrong, because it doesn't seem to be really increasing the volume. I followed the instructions in the app. Arw you supposed to just be able to keep increasing the volume past the max or is it supposed to boost the entire band of volume?

Just set it to about 8+. It works great for me. Just try increasing carefully so as not to blow the speaker.. that is in case 8+ is too much for your phone.
Volume+ just works fine for me. It may require root tho.

What I did to increase the volume of my ringtone is increasing level in an audio editor on my PC and transfer it back over.
Works well for me and I don't need volume+

follow the direction that pops up when you first open Volume+ app
uninstall, then reinstall it if you've already went ahead and ignored it.

[Q] Re: Sennheiser earphones with 3 button controls

Hi, sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong section, a bit confused whether it would fall under general Q&A, accessories or apps.
Anyway, does anyone know of a good app that can sort of manage the use of the 3 control buttons of sennheiser earphones while using MusicProplayer?
Right now, I can use the control to skip to the next track or play the previous track but the control for volume itself does not respond. Any app that might help?
Thanks!

Hey there! I was in your situation not too long I ended up downloading "JAYS headset control" app refereed by nixoninajar. This app allows you to do everything that you are looking for but the catch is, you have to use just one button. Everything stays the same except for volume control, if you want to increase click once and hold the play/skip button and to decrease double click play/skip button and hold till you get your desire volume level. This works really good for me, tested on several 3 button headsets.

Nice! I'll try it out tonight! By the way, is there a way to skip tracks / play previous tracks using just one button? Thanks again!

Yes and you can customize it too
Clicks
1x play/pause/answer/hang calls
2x skip track
2x+hold volume up
3x previous track
3x+hold volume down
Easy

Aw man... Sorry to hear that I have never used musicplayer pro, but works on poweramp and playerpro though. Does musicplayer pro have option to control headset buttons? Maybe need to check them off so it doesn't conflict with jays headset app? :/

I'll try disabling the override for musicplayer pro and check again...thanks for the advice! =)

[Q] Volume Boost Jelly Bean

Anyone gotten any form of volume boost to work with Jelly Bean yet?
The standard Nexus volume is bad enough but the new very nice sounding Text to Speech voice is also quieter than the old one.
I can barely hear Nav giving me directions with no radio on in the car anymore.
FYI, I already purchased Volume+ for ICS but it doesn't make any change to the volume in JB.

I have Volume+ and it definitely increased my volume!! I am on team liquid vicious v2 + franco 200 kernel. I have had no problems with it, so my advice is give that a try.
Volume+ is not working for JB. So quiet
edit: Correction it seems to be working for music, but not for notifications. Phyxis ring tone used to be LOUD for me!

I just tested with Volume+ free and its working. CDMA Gnex, Liquid Vicious v2 with stock JB kernel. Toggling on and off with a song playing, so I'm sure its not placebo.
If you would like I could make a video of it obviously changing my max volume level. I have the paid version of volume+ and have CDMA as well.

I've seen varying results. I couldn't get it to work for me. One person said to make sure you check it in the settings under sound settings. Still didn't work for me. I did the volume hack in Franco.kernel app which worked.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
I will check but it sounds like the Team Liquid might be for CDMA? I'll go see if they have a GSM version as well. Also, I thought the franco.Kernel volume increase was only for headphones...guess I'll give that a shot as well.
It wasnt working at first, i gave up then i knew i restarted my phone a few times because i had to goto recovery to flash the proper Su.zip then i tried it again and it worked

Can you confirm that it is working SYSTEM WIDE? We all know it works for music apps, but It does not work for notifications/ringtones.... Neither does any other eq on the market.
Again, they all work for music but not for notifications/ringtones. I agree with the op, I am hearing impaired, and a long time android user. I can garuntee that these eq's are not working system wide, Maybe with app updates to conform to the api or some lib changes it will be working again, but until then we are stuck with low system wide volume.
Don't mean to be rude but the op is looking for help as am I and it does not help to come to these threads and everyone says "mine works fine" when in reality they do not understand what the op is asking.

+1 It drives me nuts when people oversimplify issues and mislead everyone. Just because a fix might work to increase volume for music, doesn't mean that it increases the volume for notifications, or ringtones, or anything else for that matter.
Ok- I tried both the Volume + and the Franco Kernel hack. It's really hard to compare them, but here's what I got:
The Volume+ app increases volume for music, but not for anything else.
The Franco Kernel hack increases volume for music, but it seems to be less than the Volume+ app. It might increase the ringtone and notification volume, but I can't really be sure- the change was minimal that it was hard to even determine if it even existed.
That being said, the change on both is minimal but exists, at least for music.
It is indeed working for music but not notifications!

I stumbled upon a temporary fix. I installed Volume+ and set the volume to +4. Then download Zeltus and search for "loud". Download the loudest ringtones and alarms and notifications you can find and use them.
EDIT: This fix does not raise the volume on phone calls.

[Q] Change music track at night time

At night time I often have the phone under my pillow so I can listen to music quietly, instead of leaving it on the nightstand.
I figured using the volume keys might be a sensible approach, but then realized that would just change the volume.
I was wondering if anyone has figured a way (either through an app or Tasker) to change tracks without turning the screen on and touching the phone?
I think the Nottach mod has a feature to change tracks by holding the volume buttons.

Thank you for the info.
I was hoping for an app (or Tasker profile) instead of changing my ROM as right now, I am quite happy with rooted stock.

[Q] Volume Rocker Wake

I'm on CleanROM and I'm using Xposed w/ GravityBox to do all my modding. I've enabled volume rocker wake and for whatever reason, you can't use the volume keys to wake the device after an extended time. I've always had this issue, even on Jelly Bean. It wouldn't matter if I used GravityBox or if the setting was baked into the ROM. I read somewhere that there was a "timeout" on that feature and that you could only use the volume keys within a minute of the device being used.
If this is the case, how do I get rid of the timeout? If there isn't a timeout, how can I get this working? I can't be the only one having this issue.
Any help is appreciated greatly.

I had the same issues with the volume rocker wake function in Gravitybox and use Xposed module "Vol2Wake" instead...it works perfectly.

It is an Xposed Module. It's just not in the Xposed Repo.
I appreciate it! This seems to have fixed my issues.

I spoke too soon. The timeout still happens. :/
So, any ideas? According to Google, nobody has this issue.
I enabled mine to see what happened. Just doesn't seem very stable to me. Maybe there's a kernel with something that works better.
ElementalX kernel allows slide 2 wake/sleep and double tap to wake. I didn't think it be helpful until I enabled it, and it's pretty nice not having to press the side button.

I use that, but it hurts my battery life too much.
I'm having the same issue. I have xposed and gravity box for both my N5 and N7. Volume rocker to wake works on the N5, but doesn't work on N7. Any more ideas on this?
I've also tried modaco and XUtilities, but no luck.
Thanks

Yeah, I still never got anything to work.
I have ElementalX and GB on both my N5 and N7 and the volume button wake on the N5 has always worked flawlessly and on the N7 the longer it's asleep the less likely it will work. Personally... I just blew it off and forgot about it for the N7, the power button and volume button are right next to each other anyway.
I sold my N4 this last Thanksgiving but I vaguely remember the volume wake being hit or miss on it also, so maybe it's a cpu issue/incompatibility, the N4 & N7 both use the S4 Pro.
Guys I have the same problem with my new nexus 7 32 gb wi-fi !! tried swcre'd rom, simple aosp, euphoria, (full wipe, also reboot and two wipes ecc..) but this function doesn t work on my tablet. It works only in the arch of 2 seconds with screen off, after 5 seconds or more no .
With twrp recovery, when screen off, the volume rocker wake it's ok, but maybe because there isn't a "deep sleep". Also when there is music play but screen off ,the volumer rocker wake works. I don't know what to say to the attendance, because with screen on it's all ok. There is a solution please ? thank you
