Hi all,
Just bought a new pair of Airpod Pros and connected them to my Galaxy S20. The volume is really low even on the max. I've tried the following:
Enabled developer options
Turned ON "Disable absolute volume"
Restarted phone, re-paired Airpods
Still quiet...
Then I made sure the "Media volume limit" was OFF (in Settings > Sounds & Vibration > Volume)
Restarted phone, re-paired Airpods
Still quiet...
Turned on Dolby Atmos... Still quiet.
Not saying I want my eardrums to bleed, but seriously, this is too quiet.
Also, to test the Airpods themselves, I paired them with my Galaxy S8, which is Android 9, and they are LOUD!
It seems to be an issue with my phone settings or maybe the Airpods firmware doesn't work well with Android 10? Anyone able to fix this problem?
I just calibrated the Airpods using my friend's iPhone, but when I connect them to my Android they are still really quiet. I'd say about 50% the volume than on the iPhone and my S8 (Android 9).
I contacted both Apple and Samsung.
The Airpods firmware is up to date. The Samsung S20 firmware is up to date. Neither company had any new troubleshooting ideas. They are now both aware of the issue, although I don't know if that means they'll do anything about it. The Samsung representative said I could downgrade to Android 9 if I went to a certified Samsung technician. They gave me contact info for the nearest repair shop. I called them and they told me they could NOT downgrade my operating system.
I've tried various volume booster apps. Yes, they all make the volume louder, but they also distort the audio. This is frustrating. I don't know whether I should return the Airpods or wait until someone comes up with a fix. At this point it seems like a fix is not something that is in the near future since neither company was aware of the problem.
Got my galaxy buds+ in the post this morning and had the exact same issue thinking they we're quiet. Tried a few apps that gave me distortion also and ended up getting Mega Equalizer off the play store and setting the "loudness" inside the app to about 60%. Nice and loud now!
Got dolby atmos turned on, phone eq set to rock, eq in galaxy wearable set to dynamic. Cranked the eq in mega equalizer to this too. No distortion. Hope that helps!

Oh man... I just ordered Galaxy Buds+. I hope I don't have the same issue. I wonder what is causing this?
Thanks for the volume boost app suggestion. I will give that one a try.
Have you disabled the Media volume limitation (3 dots upper right corner in setup->volume)?
Btw got an update for the Buds yesterday.

00mpollard - I got my Buds+ today and when I first used them they were very quiet. I was able to make them louder without the Mega EQ app. I figured I'd pass this along in case you haven't already tried it.
Turn your Mega EQ boost off first. I didn't and my ears paid the price...
In the Galaxy Wear app, there's a section called "Labs". Tap on that and then turn on the "Double tap earbud edge" feature. Then do a bunch of double taps on the right earbud edge. That will turn the volume of the buds up. Now when you put the phone volume up, they should be loud!

Thanks for the reply! Did try that but its still a little quiet for me. I must be going deaf in my old age or like my music far too loud :laugh:

Ok so I took back my Motorola s9 because of skipping problems with mt T Mobile Wing & now ive got the perfect headset, Its a Insignia Ns-Bthdp paid $53.49 @ Best Buy.
Ok it charged in 3 hours ,paired up nice and re paired when I shut off the device with no problems.Its SUPER LOUD ...wow I couldnt believe how loud these things are ..but its not as clear as the s9's were, I think if I add the EQ to my phone, I can fix that.
On a call it had a small echo effect for the the other party but on my end the call is in stereo(yes).These sit on the ear not in it and wrap the neck like the s9's.
The controls will take some getting use to, it will beep when theres an incoming call so you can answer, and you can return the last call as well.
So wing lovers there you have it a cheap stereo bluetooth headset that wont SKIP and its loud,light,and did I say it dosen't (SKIP)...lol

Hi Evil:
Sorry to ask a stupid question, but you may be able to save me some research, for what I believe may be an easy question. I just got the headphones you mentioned. They are great.
I was able to easily pair them with my Tilt, but once I turned off, next time I went to use them, I turned on bluetooth, and nothing.
Is there some additional step I need to take to get them working?
Basically all I did was make sure the headphones were on, then turned on bluetooth on phone. Am I missing something?
Thanks!
PS: Please forgive my ignorance. I have never used a bluetooth device, and it doesn't explain anything beyond pairing in the manual for the headphones
I also have the Tilt (TyTN II), but have the i-Tech BlueBand R (which I love).
Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but one annoyance with using this BT headset with my TyTN II is the need to go into the BT menu and manually activate the pairing every time, i.e., go to BT settings, turn on BT, go to Devices, long click on the i-Tech and choose "set as hands-free" and/or "set as wireless stereo."
Am I expecting too much? Or is this just that way BT stereo headsets work?

My HTC Touch Cruise and my Samsung SBH-170 connect automatically as soon as the headphones are turned on. Pressing play on the headphones starts my music only if either HTC Audiomanager or Windows Media Player are already running. My older Qtek 8310 (HTC Tornado) however would also start Windows Media Player on its own once I pressed play on the headphones.

Well, as it turns out, I had a defective headset. After exchanging it, it is no longer necessary to pair each time.
Regel, you are correct, it is VERY annoying to have to go in each time, and select "set as hands-free" and/or "set as wireless stereo."
Does anyone have a workaround for this, so that it will automatically use as stereo , and headset?
Sonus:
You are lucky that yours connects automatically, I sure wish mine did too. Those are very nice looking headphones! Better looking than my new Insignias, but the Insignias were cheap, and I'm broke
Thanks!
EDIT: Sonus: You were right! If I turn on music and bluetooth BEFORE turning on headset, it does automatically connect. Thanks for the tip!

I'm happy it worked out, I usually keep bluetooth on all the time, as battery drain is very minimal. As long as the bluetooth is already on before you turn on your headset, you can turn the music player on at any time you want without any issues.
Thanks, I actually had first bought the headset over a year ago for $100, but someone stole them a few months back, and I was able to get a set on eBay for like $16 plus shipping...so the moral is that they can be bought cheap if you're really interested in a pair.
Hi!
I am in the market for a set of stereo BT headphones for the gym, S9 seems to get lots of bad reviews..especially for getting them wet which is a problem as I sweat like hog in a blast-furnace...any luck with any of the sets you have actually being sweat-resistant and not interfering with running/lifting? TIA!!

All bluetooth headphones I have used, have automatically connected as hands free, but there is nothing to show this on the phone; just the flashing on the headphones shows it is connected.
Then pressing play on the headphones starts wireless stereo, and the headphone symbol appears on the screen, and the headphones make the little beep tone.
Hi everyone!
I am quite sure my problem is not ROM related, because it happens on my HTC DHD and also on my HD2.
Following happens when i listen to music over my headspeakers ( it also happens with all different kind of headsets, even when i have the phone connected to my car over aux ), the phone suddenly starts to call the last called person and it skips the songs randomly.
When I unplug it from aux or headspeakers it ok, until I replug it again.
I know there are quite a few people out there that have had or still have this problem.
Does anybody has a solution to that problem?
I hope, somebody can help me out there.
I had a similar problem but had a little crackle as well. I found that it got progressively worse with time as well. Thought it was just my stock headphones so did tests with other types and same problem so I figured it must be the socket. I was gonna buy some Bluetooth headphones but found that a clean restart sorted the problem. Turn off fast boot and turn off, leave it thirty seconds or so and boot up. it seems like it was something up do with cleaning out the temp files with a clean boot sorted it. Hope your problem sorted itself out the same way, if not then i'm all out of ideas and you need someone with a better knowledge of the system
Failing that try checking if there's some fluff in the headphone socket that may be causing a short of sorts
Funnily enough I was using earphones a few days ago when watching YouTube and my music kept starting and flicking through songs on its own. (I was also using WiFi.) I'd never experienced it before. It was like the phone was controlled by some remote source. It even continued after rebooting the phone and not even starting the music myself. After pulling out the headphones and quitting YouTube/ switching off Wifi it stopped doing it. It could be a bug or maybe simply the Evil Google is taking over.. Does anyone actually know why the OS is called `Android'?
It is a bug caused by using incompatible headphones. Headphones without a mic. Plug has 3 bands instead of 4. Try this free app from the market as it gets great reviews and supposedly stops the issue. "Headset Blocker"
Or use a set of headphones with a mic and 4 bands on the plug.

Thanks for this information. I hope this headset blocker will do the job.
But if not what kind of aux cable would I have to buy, for plugging my phone into my car system?
Pick up something like this. It is an adapter cable that adds a mic to an ordinary pair of headphones. This stops the short between the ground and the mic connection which seems to be giving MANY people issues.

I don't know if it is the port loosening up and the plug has static bounces between the ground and the mic connection or if it is just buggy software but this will fix it. Most electronic and cellphone stores should sell something like this.
to be honest i doubt if what you say is true because i´ve had the same problems with the stock headphones and same problems using my wifes sensation headphones( i know they´re both the same) so considering both have a microphone and are banded the same as your pic you posted that kinda makes the idea of it being incompatible kinda redundant. i´m not saying that your lying or anything but as a technical explanation of why there is a problem it leaves a lot to be desired from where i´m standing unless i´m the exception that proves the rule.
like i said for me just a cold restart did the trick and i´ve found people on forums elsewhere who solved the problem the exact same way.
A reboot doesn't fix the issue. Just stops it for now. Using the aux cable has stopped this issue for many. So has the app that I suggested. The only people that I knew that had this issue was using headphones without a mic and this has worked. And it could be a bug in the software. Music apps stay running in the background. So if you have different music apps installed this may cause your issue too. They may be interfering with each other. It is just suggestions to try. It all could be redunant. Rebooting is redundant as the issue will come back anyways.
that may be so but turning the phone on and off again costs a bit less and doesnt require a second cable to be connected between the phone and headphones
and again htc original headphones were the ones with the problem so i still dont see the type of headphones being the problem. seeing as how a complete reboot fixed the problem (maybe only temporarily, only time will tell) what that leads me to think is that its nothing more than a software conflict somewhere as the reboot cleans out the temp files somehow stopping the problem.
Been having this problem for months when connected via a normal 3.5mm jack in my car. It will call the last person, skip tracks and then open audiogalaxy. Thought it was the phone overheating or something to do with the socket. It all makes sense now, will try this app and report back after my next long drive if it works...
I've had a similar problem. To solve it, I did a small hardware hack to the 3.5mm socket of the phone.
I used some sugru silicone (sugru.com) to carefully cover up the first contact of the socket and it solved all my issues. It blocks out the headset commands (no more random calls during music playback) and also eliminated the static noise.
The hack is very easy to do and the sugru stuff can be removed again, so there's a minimum of risk involved.
Hope this helps

I have a pair of Xiaomi Pistons v2.
It has 3-button for Android (volume and play/pause)
LGG3 doesn't recognize them every time I plug it in. And when it recognize it drops suddenly.
When I say drop, I can still hear through the headphone but I Can't use the buttons.
Is it any mod function? I use g3 tweak box.. Maybe it is it.
Same problem here
I have the Sennheiser Urbanite XL and the same problem. The buttons work on a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 without any issues, but on my LG G3 the buttons have no function at all.
I even checked with the Debug mode of "JAYS Headset Control", but the phone doesn't seem do get any signal from a button press.
Please help, a pair of headphones with buttons that doesn't work sucks...
This isn't a headphone or the phone issue. This is a general hardware incompatibility between different manufacturers.
Buttons are the triggers with the certain resistance. And resistance values differs for LG and Apple for example. Also pins on the jack may differ. It's a monkey circus with all these headphones.
Look at the pic:

hello,
i have exactly the same problem. Suddenly my g3 cant recognise any 3jack headphones. only 2jack... which means no mic no buttons. I used around 10 headset with 2 and 3 jack so im 100% that the problem is the 3jacks. I replaced the jack with a new one but still the problem. then i did a factory reset and flash again the mm. Nothing. Im currently using soundabout and its the only app that make my headset work but only for listening music without using buttons. when it comes to a call it doesnt recognised mic so i cant use them . Anyone can help us to figure out???
My default headphones (the ones that came with my M8) work great on my HTC One M8 running S.Team ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc...the-worlds-first100-m9-port-m8upload-t3064838)
However, my other headphones don't work on my M8. I've tried iPhone earpods and Tritton Kunai headset. After trying plugging in and out for several minutes, I sometimes get audio.
And since one of my HTC headphones broke, I got to use other headphones.
The default headphones work great so no port issue I guess. Also cleaned the port with compressed air.
I think it's a software issue, probably ROM or BoomSound related.
What do you guys think could be the issue?

EDIT: I think I got the solution. Apparently the One M8 checks the mic on your earbuds to see if the mic is working.
I got this from the following thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/headphone-detected-t2988006
(special thanks to awkm for addressing the issue and vanjan for the solution)
I tested this with my headset (Tritton Kunai). When the mic is disconnected from the headset, audio plays through the internal speakers but when I connect the mic, it plays through the headset itself.
There are some Play store apps, which will force headphone mode. See if that helps.
Do you have headphones icon in notification area when your not HTC headphones are plugged in or your phone does'n detect them? Also turning on/off BoomSound might help.

I don't have a headphone icon in the status bar when having earphones plugged in, also with the working M8 earbuds there is no icon. BoomSound is turned off.
I tested today with my iPhone earbuds and my Tritton Kunai headset, both of theme aren't detected by the phone.
However, my brother's earbods worked. I believe those are from Sony.

I had the same issue and solved it by repeatedly inserting and withdrawing the plug from the socket until it worked. I'm guessing it was dirt in the socket?
I'm hesitating to update to A10, since most modules in Good Lock are not supported there. However the most annoying thing Samsung introduced in S10 is removing LED light AND audible notifications through speaker when a BT media device is connected, which was inherited by N10. This is the most retarded thing they ever did.
So the question is, did they bring back audio notifications though speaker when BT media device (headphones, car) is connected?
I can confirm that they didn't. By far 1 of the dumbest decisions ever by Samsung.
Man I'm glad others think this was a horrible thing. I mentioned it elsewhere and peeps jumped on me like I was a fool for bringing it up

It's actually not exactly Samsung's issue, it's Android 9/10 "feature", but nonetheless, whoever though it was a good idea without giving an option is an idiot.

No, that's not what I said. But after having used 4 different Notes (2, 4, 8 & 10+) I can tell that none of them had the feature you are talking about (sound output through speaker and bluetooth device in the same time, if I understood corectly). All my phones where international versions.

It seems you don't understand the question...
I've had Note 3, 7 and S7Edge and before Android 9 came along the notification sounds were always played through speaker AND wired/wireless headphones (or other connected BT device) at the same time. Since Android 9 notification sounds only play through connected device, NOT through speaker, unless nothing is connected.

Not true. Prior to Android 9 you could definitely get audible notifications through your bluetooth and phone speakers simultaneously.
I really don't know who had that brilliant idea but for sure was an idiot. And the most incredible is that we see a lot of people complaining and they don't solve this.
I DO NOT get this post. someone tell me please what you guys are trying to do?
So when I connect my phone via Bluetooth to my headphones/car/home
and say get messages, or new uploaded songs from SoundCloud
I hear an audible notification that plays over my current media playback
is that what is not happening to you guys?

That's exactly what happens now.
Before Android 9, that notification would SIMULTANEOUSLY play through speaker AND current media playback device.
The problem is that just because your headphones are connected to the phone doesn't mean they are in your ears, or if your phone is connected to the car, doesn't mean you are inside the car.
So to be clear... This fubar bluetooth/phone speaker situation, was/is not rectified in the android 10 update? No way of changing notification audio channels?
Well, I think it depends on the device and what you want it to do. For example, on my home devices, most of them, no I can't, add there's no option. But in my car, it gives me the option to both use the phone and audio with bluetooth, but I disconnected notifications, so I hear the dings on my phone.
I think from this, it's more of the device your connecting to, and whether it will have the options in the bluetooth settings. That's just my guess from what my car allows me to do, and how I set it up.
its working with the star wars special edition themed rom. scared me in the car while connected BT and Android auto
I know this is an old post but it's one of the first ones I found when googling this issue. Just in case someone else finds it when looking this up I wanted to post a fix for it.
If you download the SoundAssistant app (got it from the galaxy store) you can go to advanced settings, and there is an option for "Alerts through headphones." You have the option of choosing whether ringtones, alarms, and/or notifications are played through headphones.
This issue has been fixed. I just tried the fix and it worked perfectly.
