[Q] Volume Control? - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a way to separate the media volume of the speaker when no headphones are plugged in and a different media volume for when headphones do get plugged in
I've seen Apple do this on their iOS devices and Macbooks
HTC has done this also i believe
I don't mind if it would be something to flash or a .apk

I may have remembered wrongly, but I thought they are separate? If it's not with the stock ROM, I think with Voodoo Sound's volume key hack, the volume is in a way separated. That is, unplugged -> normal media volume, plugged in -> 100% media volume, instead, volume controlled by the analog amp. Not to mention you get better sound quality with Voodoo Sound.

How to set Voodoo Control as "high priority"

I have Droid Charge/Infinity
Also, have VoodooControls Plus. By Supercurio.
Here's best I can do description of the issue:
1. turn Tunewiki or Pandora on
2. plug in aux cable to connect to stereo
3. press volume button up
4. 2 green slides show on the screen - one for device volume and one, at the bottom, for analog volume, which is Voodoo volume.
5. both show 100% volume. actual output volume is quite low
6. stream music for about 25 minutes (that's what I found after weeks of observing it). during this time, you can press volume button up, volume does not change. as in it does not get louder
7. after 25 or so minutes, press volume button up
8. at this point, 2 green volume gauges on the screen will show: upper, device volume, at full; lower, analog, or Voodoo volume, will be at 75%. this happens by itself, without actually lowering volume with the phone volume button
9. press phone volume button up, and it will go back to 100% on analog, except that this time, it will be really loud.
normally, because of this, I start streaming with car stereo set to 21 on volume. after 25 minutes, I have to turn it down to about 13, so much difference it makes.
can't explain it any better. what it is, is like as if volume voodoo amplifications starts at "choked" level, without being brought to full power, and then, after about 25 minutes, it goes full throttle, loud, good bass, very powerful. been like this ever I installed your pgm, which is about what - 2 mths or so? Had it reinstalled few times too, when I changed ROMs on the phone. it's the same problem regardless of ROM.
here's response from Supercurio:

As usual, no ETA
Anyone knows, how to fix that lag? It's extremely annoying and distracting, as I use it only when streaming music driving.

Media volume memory using 3.5mm headphones jack

Hello,
I've been fighting a new "feature" that I think was introduced with JB. The media volume I set while the headphones jack is in use is "remembered" as is the media volume level without using the jack. It's not that it's turning down the volume when I use the jack... The problem is that it remembers whatever the volume was set to the last time the jack was used.
Is there a way to turn this off? Something that automatically makes a change should really be controllable by the user. I'd much rather the phone just leave the volume alone unless I change it.
Thanks.

Different volume setting

Hello, I remember that in stock Gingerbread of the Blur UI of my Atrix 4G , when I plug my headphone into the phone, the volume setting will change so that I will have a specific volume setting when the headphones are plugged in. This is quite helpful in the situation where you do not want your ringer volume to be at maximum when you are using your headphone (sometime the volume level change scare you) and want it to be back at maximum when you unplug it. But when I switched to the Omega ROM v16 for the Note 2, it seems that it only have a single volume setting for everything. For example, if I set the ringer volume to maximum, when I plug my headphones in and there is a call, it becomes quite noisy... Any mods for specific volume setting?

[Q] Headset Control Buttons Locked

Weird problem. Usually the Next/Previous buttons on the headset can let you move tracks backward/forward when you're playing music or listening to podcast/audio books. Some apps allow you to reassign them becoming fast forward/backward. The new Nexus 5 I just receive, the headset buttons can only do volume up/down, no matter which app I'm using. I don't see anything in system settings.
Anyone has same issue?
I found the same thing. Android support of headphones and accessories is terrible. There's no universal standard for three-button remotes and so far i've only found some Samsung earphones that can even do volume up/down. The rest only do play/pause.

The same headset functions normally on my Nexus 7 and HTH Inspire 4G. Is it possible LG doesn't support headset remote control?

[BUG] boosted volume outside app

Nexus 6p / stock and not rooted 6.0.1
I got the app, started using it but afterwards the volume for everything was boosted to +100% making the lowest volume setting equal or higher than the former maximum my phone was capable of.
Podcasts are distorted slightly but enough to make me go without in most cases. Nevermind that the volume is loud even at the lowest possible setting.
Actions I have taken:
Turn off volume boost
Lower volume in mx player
Uninstall
Reinstall
Other odd items
When adjusting volume with physical buttons the slider jumps down or up seeming to account for the expanded 30 step volume but never reaches the original minimum.
While adjusting volume on my Bluetooth headset the media volume adjusts as well in increments of 5, it did not do this previously.
Hoping for a swift resolution as my phone is completely useless for listening to music or podcasts while this persists. Any ideas are welcome.
Unpaired my bt headphones, LG 730, and re-paired. No effect, everything from OP still present.
My Bluetooth stereo on my car is not effected, volume works normally.
Hmm, I would try enabling the system volume panel in options, then adjusting the volume with that enabled, so that MX explicitly changes the system volume as well, see if that will reset anything.
