I'm assuming it's possible to remove the headphone warning when plugging in after rebooting, and also to have the volume stay at the high level after reboot.
Is this easy to do? I'm on vzw, doubt it matters

Nothing that I know of without root.
One thing I've considered is using Trigger or some other automation tool to set the media volume to 15 on some sort of trigger, such as connecting to wifi or my watch or something else that happens right after boot. Right now, I have it set to do so when my headphones connect, and it does cause a popup to warn you about the volume, but then I click ok and my volume is at 15. I think that maybe this post-boot trigger would potentially save me the trouble of doing it when my headphones connect.
That's a good idea. I could do that with Tasker. It will get the job done for now
I have root lol. I know this wouldn't be possible withiut

I played around with this yesterday. Setting media volume to 15 with Trigger/Tasker just changes it for the speaker. Only when you connect headphones and THEN try to set the volume to 15 (or above the threshold) does it give you the warning.
It does then when connected to bluetooth as well I really want this warning to be removed.
Me too! This is so annoying when trying to listen in the car. My phone will connect via bluetooth, but because volume amplification is so low on the S6 I have to turn it all the way up. It makes for a dangerous situation while driving.
I really wish Samsung would stop trying to save people from themselves constantly. I don't need hand holding.

I've no idea where this belongs so I thought I'd go as general as possible.
Is there a way to match my notification/ringer volume with my media volume whenever headphones are plugged in?
I'm constantly deafened when I'm listening to music on low volume and a notification goes off full bore because I've forgot to turn them down. If I remember to turn notifications/ringer down then I tend to forget to turn it back up and l end up with missed calls because I plug the phone into computer speakers to play music and can't hear it ring.
I know the easiest solution to this problem is a good memory but does anyone know of a more reliable option?
Phone details if anyone cares
If it matters I'm using a Telstra HTC one XL (same as the one X on ATT) fully stock, unrooted on 4.0.3. I figured it was more of a general android thing which is why I posted it here. I'd definitely root for a fix but I'd rather not flash a ROM until CM10 or AOKP are almost 100%
Thanks guys!

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. ?

I use the same headphones on my windows laptop and iPhone and max volume is basically ridiculously loud, on my Huawei T3 tablet if i watch a movie on max volume the characters basically whisper, wtf?
And I'm using the exact same material/streaming sites, something is off about the tablet itself.

Are you sure you're turning the volume up all the way on the tablet? You probably are, I'm just making sure you aren't missing the fact that on android devices, when you turn the volume up it stops before reaching full volume then gives a warning saying that listening at high volume can damage your hearing, if you cancel that warning you can turn the volume up a little more.
Try a different set of headphones. Try a different android device(not the iPhone)

You can try some volume boosting apps, there are many of them at the PlayStore but they don't work that well.
The best option is to root the device and edit some sound files similar to this solution in the thread linked below (WARNING, do not assume that you can do what they did, I'm just giving an example of the kinds of modifications you can make on android devices, the files and edits for you might be different on your device than what is in this thread)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2531673
Another option is to modify your sound file using a text editor to increase the volume output of the various individual outputs on your device (i.e.- in call volume for earpiece, in call volume for speaker, in call volume for headphones, in call volume for bluetooth headset and the individual volumes for speaker, headphones and headset when playing audio/video media)
Such as these examples(again, the file and the edits you need to make may be different)

Or
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1931970
Or use some kind of sound mod such as Viper4Android(how it is installed is different for different devices, some are simple, some require some other things to be done to get it installed and working correctly)

Anybody have a solution to this? I've tried u sing media volume sync and it helps a little bit but the S8 has much lower volume on Bluetooth overall than any other pho me I've used in recent memory. Doesn't matter if I'm using my headset or in the car.
Do you have the volume on the phone turned up??
I've noticed some anomalies around bluetooth audio volume as well. For instance, I can be running Waze and Pandora on my car or though my headset on my motorcycle. Volume settings are maxed out on the phone, with the final master volume being either my headset dial on the bike, or head unit volume control in the car. Pandora never seems to be at quite full volume and just after Waze finished speaking a notification, Pandora volume will increase for a fraction on a second and then be reduced again. It's like there is some type of limiting going on and I've disabled all limit settings that I can find.
This is not just related to Pandora, but other streaming apps as well. And without Waze running, I don't notice increased volume in the streaming apps. Waze just seems to somehow enable the short period of increased volume.
Let's see if we can solve this once and for all. I've been experimenting and I am having some results. But does require an equalizer app. I am using Equalizer FX so I don't know how these steps work on other ones.
Open the app, click the three dots in the upper right > Settings > check "Global audio output mix" it's description reads, "Warning! It does not work for new devices. We do not recommend to use this feature. However this is the only solution for some players." (I am using YT Music)
After you turn that setting on, go back and click the middle tab "Effects" and you'll need to turn on "Loudness Enhancer" then use the slider to adjust it to your personal taste.
You don't even need to have the main page equalizer turned on. Just the main toggle needs to be on, the one right next to the three dots.
This part is just a little extra for those who don't understand the issue. SoundAlive maintains the media volume separately from all other device sounds. In the past we just used Package Disabler, turned it off, boom no more limited bluetooth music volume. Now it seems, it cannot be disabled with going rooted. *Flips table* You can easily demonstrate the issue by making sure you have setting on for the device volume synced with bluetooth volume. Connect to a bluetooth speaker, play a song, then plug and unplug an aux cable into the phone, you'll notice probably a 30% volume difference.

I've noticed the same thing running Waze, it's like something is limiting the output.
FWIW, I've also noticed the same behavior when the phone is connected to my car stereo. I'll have to pay attention to whether it occurs with other devices. I suspect the behavior will be the same. I can pause any playing music and then un-pause it and the music will start at full volume before the volume seems to get limited. I don't have another Android phone that I can try this with and I've never noticed such behavior with either Windows Phone or iPhone.

I do usually have DriveMode (and sometimes Waze) running although I've run experiments without it with the same results. There just seems to be some sort of limiter being applied.
S8+ Low Bluetooth Volume

I've got the same problem with my S8+. Samsung support simply say try resetting the phone, but as the problem was there from new, what difference is that going to make! It seems to be a fundamental issue with this particular model (8 & 8+), as my iPhone7 and my older Note4 don't have the problem.
Same here. I use V4Android, as it's mixed into the CarHDROM v9, works excellently to overcome the system low vole on my 8+
I m not sure if a solution... But I tried disabling Bluetooth Media Volume Sync ( Settings - Bluetooth - Options (3 dots on the top right) - Media Volume Sync - (Turn off) )..
This gives phone media its own volume and the bluetooth device to control its own volume.
The volume is better after this for me.

you might be misunderstanding the original poster. I have the s8+ and I did what he was talking about on the phone. On your s8+, you go to system settings -> Connections -> Bluetooth then if you tap on 3 dot top right menu, you will see 3 choices: Dual audio, Media Volume Sync, Bluetooth control history. If you tap on the media volume sync, it will be on but blacked out so that you can't turn it off, so what I did was in that menu select dual audio and turn that on. It will say it has to shut off media volume sync yes/no - select yes and media volume sync will now be off. Then just turn back off the dual audio and media volume sync will still be off.
Sorry that was long, hope it helps.
Fixed!

Thanks! This pointed me in the right direction, although my solution was just the opposite. Turning this on solved my problem. Just a week ago my S8+ had no issues with Bluetooth volume. But I sent it for repairs and they updated the software. After that, the max volume on my earbuds were a whisper. Turning Bluetooth media volume sync on brought it back to previous pre-repair levels. Maybe it works in my case because the earbuds don't have any volume control. I don't recall ever touching this setting previously though.
I also had surround sound on , turned that off and it helped. Sorry if I missed this somewhere earlier in the post.

Grad it helped. However, it seems that i am also back to square 1 after some recent update... Bluetooth audio is just whisper to me now... Specially for videos (be it a video on ur phone or youtube, etc). This is happening to me with a Samsung s8 and a Samsung Level U !!! Reported this to Samsung. Lets c what response i get for it.
Go to settings /general management/ reset/network reset. After this I had to re enter Wi-Fi password but it fixed it. Not my fix found it on YouTube but it works.
Hi,
I have an issue with my Samsung Galaxy S8+.
If I try to play music via bluetooth to my speakers, the volume is very very low. The settings are on max and media volume sync can't be enabled.
I tried playing music with my Samsung Galaxy S7Edge and the volume was completely normal and very loud with nothing changed on the speakers.
I also tried this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/how-to/low-bluetooth-volume-car-fix-t3595530 with no result.
My BT speakers: https://www.trust.com/en/product/19367-tytan-2-1-subwoofer-speaker-set-with-bluetooth-black
My S8+:
Android 8.0.0
Stock
Knox triggered: 0
Never did any manual flash. Always just updated it.
Are there common reasons for this or good fixes? Or is it just a software bug?
Thanks for your time!

found something online, it's something to do with media sync, try connecting the bluethooth device, then go to settings, bluethooth, 3 dots and select media sync, select on and make sure both phone and headphones volume is max and restart phone, anyone notice any difference? i'm testing it now.

Yea that was the first thing I have read about when I started searching for it. I wanted to try it, but it seems like my BT speakers are not compatible with it. It says that it isnt compatible when I try to activate it. Not sure if there is a workaround to make it working.
I don't think this is an Oreo specific problem. I've encountered this bug since marshmallow.
The only way I could get it to reset the volume back to max was when I used crdroid.
The volume would get set very low. I could open the global equaliser via Google music. And the volume would not change.
I would then access the global eq via another music player. Just make a tiny change to any parameters and boom. The volume is now set to the correct level again.
The moment I would use Google music to access the eq the volume would jump down again
My tablet is now on naosp and the volume issue has popped back up.
Doing the same procedure will reset the volume correctly.
It is rather annoying to have to do this.
I don't know what is causing the problem but it looks like the global eq ultimately effects the output volume disabled or enabled

No difference at all with three different devices I connect to. I do have media sync disabled already. Hopefully you get it figured out.
I've done a test on my S8+ now.
I downloaded the latest firmware and flashed it with a complete reset of the phone.

After the flash of it the BT issue is gone. This was done yesterday (4/10/2018). I will report back if the BT issue returns OR in like 2 weeks+ if everything is still fine.

do you need root for that though and i never had this issue in nougat, this issue first happened in oreo.

It dosn't work anyway, still the same, on a good note they have fixed the low volume for incoming calls on my headphones, just the music volume is still crap.
I think my only solution is another set of headphones that support LDAC but they are £300+ lol or to get a Microsoft music player, i have a laptop that even beats what the old volume was on nougat so maybe a Microsoft music player would be a good idea, gonna look around.
It was good while it lasted i guess.

I wasn't rooted before but since then have rooted via magisk systemless root. I can still use pay and bank access etc...
I'm using viper4android now and have also disabled the system EQ.
I have just got connects2 for my car last weekend.
On the odd occasion the volume will drop when opening automate(the driving launcher) which is set to launch playmusic on Bluetooth connection.
But as soon as I swipe down the volume jumps back up.

Yeah for sure but be aware you might loose functionality on apps like banking and payments.
I use magisk to hide root so I can still use those functionalities.
Make sure you read into it first.
I've had a replacement connects2 module fitted today and all is going well.
Viper4android my EQ is absolutely amazing in comparison to other EQ and in my case the volume issue has been solved.
Actually it's really loud as I was used to the lower level.
Steps I took.
Unlock bootloader ( wiped my tablet)
Flash magisk
Install magisk manager
Added selinux module via magisk manager
Added viper4android via magisk manager
Disable global EQ
Set selinux to permissive
Install viper4android driver. Prompts when opening the app for the first time.
Reboot
And it's all good.
The bug with AutoMate seems to be tied to my maps speed prompting notification voice.
If it does revert to no EQ, I drag down from the top bar and it's back up again
I hope it works for you. Plus you now have a very awesome EQ as a bonus

Try enabling Developer mode (press Build Number 8 times). Then turn on Disable absolute volume. This de-links the phone volume control from the headset's volume control. Now you should be able to increase volume on both independently.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS. I had two pair of bluetooth headphones. A Cheap pair with volume control and a fancy pair of JBL Frees with no volume control. I could NOT figure out why sometimes the volume was great when they connected and other times it was VERY LOW all the while the cheap pair sounded great when I turned them up. I was at wits end blaming JBL and Samsung when it was a setting for Bluetooth devices.
Thanks again Huyi. Very glad I found this post.
