You are incorrect; the "nanny state" volume warning appears every single time you have headphones plugged in and attempt to raise the volume above a preset threshold (unknown threshold). Utterly ridiculous - can you imagine a giant hand appearing from the sky, with "!! STOP - LOOK BOTH WAYS !!" painted on it, every time you crossed the road? LOL!

please someone answer me
does moto g have eu volume limit if I have EU version?
I not quite sure what you guys are saying here, it has only "warning" if you exceed eu volume limit but you can still listen louder right?
I'm so confused... It would be so nice if someone could give me clear answer...

Hello
I'm one for straight answers and no fluff, so yes the (UK) variants only have a warning, it does not limit the volume as far as I know, it just jumps into "health and safety" legally unaccountable mode, and that's it. I've had my volume up very loud indeed

I don't know why that guy says my statement is false but for me you only get a warning asking if you would like to listen louder and if you press ok you can listen to your music as loud as you can and this warning only pops up one time until the device is switched off and rebooted then when you adjust the music volume you get the warning again but like i said for every boot you get it only once not every single time you try going past the suggested volume level.

the problem was actually on a bluetooth speaker i have. i opened it and had to trim the circutboard to make the board and speaker fit in a very small area and i had to cut off the volume + button from the circutboard and i lowered the volume on accident and could not raise the volume to were i can hear it thats why i wanted to raise the max volume for the bluetooth but after messing with a small strand of copper wire i was able to pull a macgyver and raise the volume back up

If you really want it to be a lot louder and distorted just go to the android market and download the free "Galaxy Tuner" has a lot of options for other stuff besides just the sound/volume and so on.....

Can't hear the caller

Hi,
My Samsung Omnia i8350 was working great but suddenly today I can't hear the caller at all, although they can hear me. Tried everything from changing the SIM to calling different carriers but no luck.
I hope there's a fix for this?
Thanks!
Yes. The fix name is the "manufacturer's warranty".

Hmm, it's a pity... BTW, did you tried Bluetooth or regular headsets (headphones)? Or wait... Check first - may be you accidently paired with Bluetooth device/headphones?
I would definitely suggest trying both headphones and a headset.
Also, silly question, but did you chek the in-call volume? It's different from the volume used in the rest of the phone (it's the *only* different volume meter the OS has, somewhat to my annoyance). I know I've accidentally pressed and held the volume-down rocker while on a call a time or two.

[Q] Speaker volume issues

Hi
I got a Lumia 1020 from HK recently. everything was working fine till I got the black update.
When the phone is on full volume like 10/10 for calls and 30/30 for general audio, the speaker volume just drops to almost 0. For eg if I am on a call when on the road I have the phone running on speaker, it starts off with full volume and while it is running it just drops to inaudible. If I turn the speaker off and then back on again the same issue continues. I have checked the phone volume using the buttons and it shows 10/10 regardless of wether the speaker is on or off likewise with audio from apps or just audio files or videos. Now I have tried all the resets I can think of nothing fixes it. Should I flash my phone from HK CV to AU CV? it is a RM875 model and running on black update.
The firmware version is 3051.40000.1345.1003 and the AU version is 3051.40000.1345.1006.
Anyway I can find what is the difference between these to versions?
will it be a problem if the model number is off a black or yellow phone instead of white if I have to end up flashing the phone?
Please help!

Dear Skamath,
Did you installed any equalizer application in your cell phone ? If yes then please uninstalled the equalizer app because this problem is just occurred due to equlizer settings.
Thank you.

Hi Tanimi
I haven't got any equaliser app not that I am aware of. The list of audio video apps that I have are as follows
Electro Drum pads24
Full Movies hindi
Line
Mini recorder free
Music Downloader WP
Music +Videos
Nokia Mix Radio
Nokia Play to and
Viber
In the settings Equalizer presets are set to none which I guess if for headphones only and in the enhancement flip to silence is on.
Would any of these be the issue?
Cheers

Tanimi1 said:
Just reset your equaliser settings. if it set on non then please select the classis option.

Hi The equalizer option only highlights when I connect headphones to it. I can change it to classical but then when I remove the headphones it is not highlighted anymore, plus I rang my partners number and on loudspeaker the problem persists.
It just drops to nothing and it only returns if I turn the speaker off and on again and after a few seconds it is back to square one.
Frustrating!!

Hello,
You need to master reset your cell phone or co ordinate with lumia's outlet for the solution.

Master reset as in re flash the unit or like hard reset in the settings option of the phone. I have done the latter before that didn't help and if it is flashing please refer to my OP for some more queries

Cheers

This might help. While I was thinking about the flash I put the phone in test mode and did one test on the audio the volumes low normal and high varies in volume but when in 700Mhz there is crackle in the sound which drops at 1000MHz and then totally disappears.
Everything else in the test came back good. So I am certain now that it is the firmware.
Will keep you posted if you want me to.
Cheers

I successfully flashed the phone and No Bricks in sight :victory: . However the issue with the speaker was not resolved.
While the speaker was in test mode before I did the flash I noticed a crackling sound in 700 MHz and then it reduced as the MHz reached the max. The test showed speaker was AOK but in real use even after the flash to AU var the problem existed. The volume would just drop. The other day I was using the navigator and the voice guidance did the same thing and before you know it the speaker failed to produce any sound.
I hooked it up into nokia suite for store and in test mode there was no sound at all from the speakers.
Looks like I have no choice but to send my phone away to Sydney hospital where he will be looked at and hopefull discharged in a weeks time.
FML. I have reflashed it to HK var and it will be on its way today.

How loud can it go on headphones?

Yo.
I need an answer on this. Can this phone go loud on headphones? Opinions are very mixed... How is it compared to Moto G?
I heard there are newer versions of N5, did they change something with volume or not? Maybe Android updates does something to it?
Pls notice that I'm talking about headphone out, not speakers.
Mine goes very loud. I also use viper4android though.
There is only one version of the n5

trollop thinks he's funny
could someone say how it is without v4a, just stock phone?
Not running stock but it's plenty loud. There's a mod and an app to let you change the mixer_paths. The DAC still isn't the greatest but at least you can turn up the volume.

Could you please tell me what this app is called?
So I can basically install it, change some numbers in mixer_paths and get higher than stock volume WITHOUT DISTORTION? That would be great!
Here you go
Loud enough to blow my ears out on max volume lol. It depends on your headphones too anyways.

In what unit of measure? Decibels? The output partially depends on your headphones and rigging up a decibel meter isn't exactly going to yield great results. Also, if I answered in decibels, I don't think you'd be we to process the information usefully.
..and that is why trollop was funny. You asked an unanswerable question. 11 is as valid as anything else because there is no unit of measure that answers the question that you could possibly understand.

[Q] Bad grammar and spelling in recovery

Brand new all stock S8+, and I just noticed the recovery screen has these misspellings ("Appling", "Selecitevly"). I'm worried this has been tampered with. What's with the "No Support Single SKU..." also? Could you fine folks please check if this is normal? Thank you!
anyone? it takes just 30 secs of your time to check please. if you don't know how to enter recovery mode: power off first then - hold both bixby and volume up buttons and then press power. after vibrate, let go of power button. you'll see the android guy, then wait a few secs and it'll go into recovery. thanks
I have the same thing. I must admit I never read the screen before only now, now that you've mentioned it.
Thank you for checking. 100+ views of my post and no one else cared to check. I don't remember xda being unhelpful like this when I used to be active here in the past.
How do I check it?

Press and hold the power button on your S8 and tap on “Power Off”. The phone will turn off.
Now press the volume up, Bixby and power keys at the same time. Keep them pressed until you see the Samsung boot animation logo.
Release the keys. Wait a few seconds.
Mine has the same thing
Same here

Thank you guys for taking the time. I guess that's on Samsung to fix then. Tho, I'd still like to know what those notes mean.
The only differences with mine is the top row where yours says No support mine says Support and further down where yours says TMB mine says EVR
Everything else is the same.

Unlocked international variant, Exynos CPU.
Looks like the quality assurance guys didn't catch that but then this is not where the usual phone user is prone to go to...
