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.
Is there a way to lower me in call volume over speakerphone, even lower than the lowest volume?
There is an app on the market called "Volume Control +" by Euphony Ringtones. It allows you to control all system volumes including in call volume. You can give that a try.

I tried it earlier today and it uses the same values as stock volume control, as did about 4 others
Its my problem also
The phone Speaker is way too loud on lowest Settings. My ears are bleeding when the Alarm Rings on lowest!
I think it's the OOS 3.5.1 Rom.
Have you this Problem too?

Which ROM are u using?

I think I remember reading somewhere that turning dolby off lowers the notification volume.

Oxygen OS 3.5.1
I see the same issue on completely stock 3.2.4. The notifications sound is very loud. In other oneplus threads I saw that you should uncheck the option 'link notification and ringer volume' in sound setting, which will separate the notification sound from the ringer volume. However, I cannot see the option there and I can only control three volume levels - ringer, media, and alarm clock. I vaguely remember that the option was there when I got the phone with the previous version of OOS, however, I cannot locate it now...
If you want to change the Volume in smaller Steps install Gravity Box and Xposed Framework, there is a tweak for this
Same here. Alarm on lowest volume setting is louder than the maximum volume on my OPX.
I get a heart-attack every morning when the alarm goes off.
(stock 3.2.4)
Same here I tried to use the 3rd party applications but the minimum level of alarm clock sound is done by the system.
Xposed is not solution for me - I don't want to root my OP3.
Now I use the old Samsug Glaxy Trend for morning waking up...

With boeffla Kernel installed you can set the volume lower with boeffla Sound.
Trying to find a way to lower system volume. In settings system volume is an on/off option only. Any help would be very appreciated. Hearing touch sounds is very important to me, but not at the volume oneplus has it set at. Thanks

Really just need to wait for root
Okay, I have root. Now what should be done? I used v4a convolvers in the past.
And changing max volume steps from what I remember doesnt do anything for OnePlus phones. At least not for my op3t?
Hi, I upgraded my S10+ to Pixel 6 Pro and now I encounter a new issue, while watching Netflix at night, the lowest level (4%) is too load, and trying and trick it using Volume Styles and other apps on the playstore but it didnt help (even when reducing the level, the lowest I get eqal to the 4% level)
Is there any way to make it lower? (prefrablly without rooting)

In case we are talking about the phones speakers, you could try an Equalizer app and see if changing the Ouput Gain changes anything. But I'm pretty sure that (non rooted) you will not be able to lower the lowest available system sound level.
In case you use Bluetooth - there is an option under developer options called "Disable absolute volume" - that could help you, in case you use a pair of Bluetooth headphones.
"Absolute Volume is an Android feature that combines and synchronizes the volume control on your smartphone and audio devices. This means that increasing the volume of your phone will also increase the volume of your Bluetooth headphone or speaker. This is a great feature, but sometimes it makes the volume on Bluetooth devices unacceptably high, even if your phone’s volume is low."

It actually worked!
I downloaded Music Volume EQ and lowered the EQ levels. It's not the best UX, but it'll do. Thx.
