Hello. I'm trying to find an app that will allow me to maintain separate volume settings based on whether I have headphones connected or not.
Basically, when the headphone jack is in use, I want the media volume at 100% (it's actually plugged into my car). When I unplug the headphone jack, I'd like the volume to revert to a much lower setting (around 25%) or to simply return to the setting it was at before I connected the headphone plug.
Does anyone know of an app that can do this?
Thanks
I'm pretty sure Tasker can do this. Great application.
yep

Tasker can do this, it's one of my profiles.
Yep, tasker here as well. It will also pop up a menu with all my audio or video apps when I plug a pair in for me to easily pick.
Kind of pricey, but well worth it. I don't have a link to his site, but it is cheaper there (with a longer trial) than on the market.

Hi
Does anyone know of a desire-compatible headphone remote control with a volume control?
I can't believe the one provided doesn't have one!
well since the headphones plug into a 3.5mm jack that takes no data, unlike the G1's proprietry extUSB, its actually impossible. Or impractical if you want. It would need t plug into the usb and the 3.5mm jack at the same time.
edit: define remote control. remote control as in changing songs or remote control as in just changing the volume with a slider?
Both.
Imagine the OEM remote control (skip tracks, play / pause) with the addition of a volume slider.
I personally disagree with alex101uk's comment. After all, the iPhone has a perfectly usable remote to do track skipping, volume control, play/pause and call control, all of that with a single 3.5mm jack, that as far as I can tell is exactly the same connector as the one on the original HTC remote.
So, I really don't understand:
1) Why the iPhone headsets cannot be used with HTC's phones. Surely it should have been possible to not invent yet another way of doing remote control
2) Why nobody wrote an application for Android that would make it possible to use Apple headsets (there are quite a few of those accessories available)
In the meantime, yeahdisk, you should try the Headset Volume Control app which allows the next/prev buttons on the original HTC remote to be used for volume control with a long click. It works well with the original music app and the HTC's own. I wish it did continuous volume control, but I guess it's better than nothing...
Could you point us in the direction of the volume control app please?

Here it is. on Cyrket. $3, claims to work with Sense. I've not tried it.
Description as follows:
A tool that let`s you control the music volume with the stock headset`s buttons. Long press PREV / NEXT to make louder / quieter. Usable with android/sense default Music application. Just install it & start changing volume, no additional actions needed.
Found it. I was looking on AppBrain, but it turned up on the regular Market.
Works perfectly with the Music player on my Desire with PAYS latest ROM. Also works perfectly with the Saffire Audiobook player so I'm a happy bunny.
Just hold the button in for as long as you like until the volume reaches the required level.
$3 well spent in my view.
I use the iPhone headphones rather than the stock headphones because I find them more comfortable. Anyone know of a way to make the volume buttons do something?

im using 2nd generation iphone handset which there is no volume buttons on it. could you find some functions to work on the volume buttons?
Hi, I'm sorry to open an old thread but there are many unresolved things here that I really can use.
For example that Android app to make remotes from different brands work.
With remote i meant being able to change the volume, skip track, play/pause and make/end call.
Certain fruit-brand headsets are causing the most trouble. Yes, yes those damn iPhone and Ipod headset remotes.
I don't think it should be that hard to make an app that can read a signal from any remote, save/register it, gives you an option to bind it to a certain function.
Btw does anyone know Fibretronic? Check it out on Fibretronic.com.
I've modified my snowboard jacket to have a remote on the sleeve connected to the BTM module.
I was thinking of using the IPLX module, but since those are " Made for Ipod ", they have the incorrect functions on my HTC Desire HD. -> volume buttons not working, next/preventie track = call/end call last dialled person, play/pause does work.

I agree, am very curious why the Apple headphones control don't work with Android...they both use 4 conductor 3.5mm jacks correct? Even if it a slight hardware difference [i.e. resistance values] then an app could convert the Apple controls signals from the headset into Android system commands and push them to the phone/music player...right?
This could be a huuuuuuge feature if someone were to crack this problem...
This is something i have been interested in since i got my desire.
Before my desire i had the nokia N95 8GB and the inline headset control was awesome. Skip tracks forward and back, volume up and down, play/pause and stop and answer/hang up. The best part was the fact it had a 3.5mm connector on the end so you can use your own prefered headphones. They currently dont work with the desire. If someone could make a hack or app to allow this to work they would be fricken awesome.
This is what i am talking about incase anyone has not seen this before

Not quite...
First, iPhone-compatible accessories use a different pinout (there are two industry standards for TRRS 3.5mm jacks and it turns out that HTC and iPhone use different ones)
Second, different resistance values are not something that could be easily handled by the software because translation of resistance values into commands happens in a piece of hardware - so, specific resistance values are, thus, "hardcoded" in the chip.

You could of course try cutting off the stock 3.5mm jack on the remote control and soldering another one with the right pin-out, but even then it's not guaranteed the way the Nokia remote control uses to transmit the commands would be compatible with HTC hardware.
BTW, there seems to be a detailed DIY video:
Modify iPhone Headsets To Android Device Compatible Ones With Remote And Media Control Feature
I still have my original HTC earphones that came with the HTC Desire. Took it out once to try it but found it too uncomfortable and promptly put it away.
In case people are still looking for this, try using the app calles Jays Headset Control.
Simple and easy to use and then it allows to use 1 button to control a lot.

Hi all.
I am very pleased with how Gummy fixed streaming issues and I could stream for over 3 hrs driving today. Thank you developers.
Here's the thing though. Overall volume output from a given online station is rather low, considering that I am using aux cable.
Is there something that will work as an amp or equalizer with amp, that will kick in and boost output volume level? I tried some app, but it was for media library on the phone only. So far, I can not find an app that will do this.
Thank you for advice.
just had voodoo controls pitched to me.
it does work, does boost sound, I went from 27 volume level to 15 on car stereo.
same time, I do have question, maybe developer will see it.
is there any way to default or pin my settings, so that I do not have to do them every time I turn Pandora on and plug aux cable in?
Whenever I unplug anything from the headphone jack the volume goes down once I plug something back in. I want to disable this but the only solution I found when I was searching was to use tasked. Is there another way of doing this?

Which volume goes down when you unplug from the headphone jack (i.e., Settings -> Sound) and how does plugging something back in affect the volume?

The sound for using any music player app. And if you have it at max when you unplug it and plug it back in it lowers the volume to like around 75%. Its very annoying

That's the music player app adjusting volume when it detects your headphones being plugged back in, I figure.
My system volume is at 100% without headphones plugged in, but when I plug them in it goes to 40%, which is where I want it for my headphones so that my ears don't melt and is what I set as volume level within the Neutron Music Player app. Unplugging brings the system volume back to 100% again.

I've tried two music player apps and they both do it. It has to be a system feature but I dont like it because I barely use headphones cause I always use auxiliary cables in my cars

You use AUX to the headphone jack in your car? If so, set the volume after connecting to the car jack and it should restore that setting each time, I'd think.
Likewise, try setting the volume after plugging in a headphone to the same level you desire for your car and that should hopefully be restored across the board.

I've tried that but the phone always defaults back to store and 75% when you go to plug something back in

It's a built in feature of any samsung I've owned. It's a "safety" feature. I haven't run an aosp rom on this device yet, but CM9 on previous devices did not change the volume at all on plug in/plug out. So assume it's a touchwiz thing.

What ROM are you running? I am pretty sure I've seen that setting somewhere on certain ROMs, mainly synergy I think? It is supposed to be to protect your ears so you don't plug in your headphones with volume at 100%.

Can't find it on synergy, but yeah I have come across it to. It is definitely on cm9. It is in the sound settings "safe headset volume" to be exact. Have not seen it on anything other than aosp.

Turning up the media volume very high with headphones plugged in creates a message that loud volumes can be damaging to hearing, etc. - so, this symptom does appear to be programmed into Touchwiz. It's probably a smart thing, as there have been times I've put on a portable music player with my headphones and forgot that it was most recently playing through my car's AUX input, so the volume was rather high (ouch).
That said, I just tried this free app and it faithfully restored the headphone volume to what I chose after repeated unplugging/plugging events:

Hi, just wondering if anyone know how to make the high bluetooth sound to stick?? Seem to me when it is connected to my car audio, the volume sound is very small.....I have to push the vol up (and it comes with that warning sound) and the volume will play ok. Problem is I have to do this every time it's connected to my car bluetooth. Is there any hack or something that will make it stick by default??? I am already using the sound mod, but to no effect???

I'm not sure if there is a hack for it. It does the same thing to me when plugging in an aux cord or headphones. There may be a hack if you're rooted, but I'm not sure.

I am rooted......so I am really opened to any solution/hack that can keep this option on without the warning or repeating.
Can I delete system>media>audio>ui>Charger_Connection.ogg to stop the sound when the charger gets plugged in? It works - but would it have any long term effect? Is there another way to stop that sound?
bump for the daytime folks
That works fine. No long term effects. You could likely accomplish the same by having Tasker temporarily mute the phone the instant it's connected to a charger. Easier to remove the sound file though. ?

Thanks - I just removed that sound, as well as the power up and power down sound. Figured that would be easiest.
