I've got a problem with my Omnia 7. Inexplicably, plugging in headphones causes the speaker volume to be boosted substantially after the headphones are unplugged, with no change in the actual software volume level. I'm not sure whether this is a software problem or what (it certainly wasn't fixed in Mango, at least). Rebooting the phone is the only way I've been able to fix it (ie, reduce the volume to what it was originally).
I've heard of people complaining about the loudness and lack of volume variation in the Omnia, but I'm not sure if this is linked to that somehow.
If someone can test this out it would be great, if only so I can get my phone replaced if it's specific to my device. Just reboot your phone, and observe the loudness of the lock/unlock sounds before and after headphones are inserted and removed. It doesn't need to be tested on the Omnia 7 specifically, though - if it's a software issue it's likely to be present on other devices as well.
TLDR; all speaker sounds, whether that be from music, games, system sounds, etc, are louder after I use earphones, even if the volume number is the same. Rebooting it fixes it. If anyone with any device could test this it would be a great help.
Does no one else have this issue? I would appreciate it if one of the many Samsung Omnia 7 owners could test it, at least.
I just tested it and I dont see any change or boost in volume on my SO7.. does your music auto stop playing when you pull out your headphones?
Maybe I explained it incorrectly, here's a video of it:
youtube.com/watch?v=0g-y0r3Mdqk&feature=youtube_gdata
I sounds louder in reality, but hopefully you can see the increase. Thanks for testing it, though
But yes, the music does stop playing when I remove the earphones. The increase isn't limited to music - it affects all sounds.
I tested it again after seeing your video.. mine remains the same, no increase like in your device..
Infact after watching your video I think the first sound is miffed... after you plug in the earphone and out than the sound it makes is the original sound/volume..
Hi,
Firstly I'm an audiophile. I listen to my music a lot. Usually will listen to music in my car via connecting the aux cable to my phone. (I'm poor so no money for a usb media player ) Using poweramp, and aux cable connection/disconnection will play/pause, skip tracks using volume keys.
Previously was using S3 with a custom CM rom that works perfect. So felling in love with the stock android/AOSP/CM features and looks. I decided to get a OPO and sold off my S3. Sadly I'm a little bit disappointed.
There is a serious bug in OPO whereby when you connect the aux cable to the phone, it will continue playing the song like for a few seconds, and will either
1) in certain roms, will come out the annoying "say call, followed by a name or a number" thingy (voice dialing). And then music will stop, in the end need to manually resume the music.
2) in some roms, it will come out the ok google thingy
3) I tried disabling all the google stuff, even if everything is gone, it will STILL resume playing songs for a few seconds once connect the aux cable, and will just STOP without any interruptions.
Believe me. I've tried MANY MANY roms. From CM12.1s/OxygenOS/Exodus/Sultan CM12.1/Exodus/DU/SlimLP/AICP/Resurrection Remix/BlissPop blablabla with different kernels such as Boeffla/AK IT STILL ALL HAS THE SAME PROBLEM.
Please help. Thanks all.
EDIT 28TH OCTOBER 2015
I have LITERALLY tried ALL custom roms of OPO, all has this problem. But finally narrowed the issue down. It is due to raising the volume to the max, after the SAFE VOLUME warning. If its below the safe volume, it will run fine. Someone, for the love of god, help me. I love my OPO but it can't even do something so simple *facepalm*
There is a loose contact in your cable...Try a different one...
No problems here with my opo while listening to the music in my car via., aux cable....

Do you only use aux or also using headsets? I've used several cables to no avail.
Also,
which rom & kernel are you using?

Hi sir,
I'm a big fan of your rom. Unfortunately I've used your build days ago and reflashed it today the problem is still there.
If I just flash your rom without with/without gapps (I use TK stock gapps):
1) Headsets no problems as well (even if max volume, FYI I use original Samsung/Asus headsets)
2) Aux cable has the same problem like ALL roms. It has no problem auto-playing if its below the safe volume warning. If you raise it above the safe volume warning, it will auto-play for a second and stop without any reason. Let's say I put my aux volume to max, it will revert back to the headsets volume (which is very low) also after the songs are stopped. Then I would have to increase the volume back to maximum and manually resume the song. (FYI, I use Gator AUX cable in my car, http://www.ebay.com/itm/AUX-CABLE-M...hash=item4ace2c5a03:m:m66QamlvCxsYb6MBL-KYlLA )
EDIT 30 OCTOBER 2015
For AUX cable, it will stop after a few seconds no matter what, even if its below the safe volume warning. Have tested it out the whole day to confirm the trend/pattern!
3) Your rom doesn't have the annoying "OK Google & Voice Dialler" thingy popping out.
Really appreciate you taking a look at my problem. Hope that the problem can be fixed and I can fall in love with my bacon again :crying:
Can't believe I've flashed all roms....and all has the same problem. Thank you once again

Hi i also use aux cable in my BT audio car (just because BT have more hissing and crappy high tones) and have this problem as well but...
1) i dont like when music starts just when i put cable in...
2) in your situation i would try some tasker scripts which start playing music after some time since cable is plugged. Lets say 6 seconds .. I think it may solve your problem until allmighty codewizard @Sultanxda find solution for our crappy hw-sw problem..
I saw this topic was many times mentioned in his ROM thread.
Regards and good luck finding solution

Do you use tasker?? Even if it works, its still very inconvenient as I have to manually set the volume to maximum again (or else would be very soft in the car).
Sincerely hope that Lord SultanXda can solve this problem, would be eternally thankful! :crying: I've brought this up with several developers but none of them paid any atttention to this problem in our beloved Bacon. That's why I'm so happy that even SultanXda even replied in this thread.
added new information above
If your issue is still not fixed then its most likely the aux cables
Yes this issue is rare it happens with me too but only with certain cables
Its because of the depth and the size of the cable that causes higher output to confuse the kernel into thinking that the mic for Google now is activated
I've seen a workaround in some kernel somewhere but it won't completely solve your issue.
The only possibility (as of now) is to get a slimmer ,3 layered 3.5 mm aux cable

I've bought more than 5 aux cables, but all still has the same issue. I don't think its due to the cables. In Sultan XDA's rom & certain roms, the mic/ok google does not come out and was fixed by him. But just randomly stops and does not resume back.

yeah it fixes the ok google / voice dialler pop-up but not the entire problem. Anyway thank you for your time. Really hope that someone can fix this problem for good, and then Bacon can truly be one of the best phones ever!
try other players
hey there from a fellow audiophile (at least while driving) i am on sultan's rom 27th-oct build. Also on rocket player, i used to have a problem with the headset buttons (xiaomi pistons) prior to he 27th-oct build. but from that afterwards, everything is perfect.
about the aux cable thing, i've always had two music apps (playerpro since earlier builds of android. and rocket player) but recently (on opo) removed the playerpro (on a cm11s build, cause it was a battery hog compared to rocketplayer).
Anyway, rocket player has all the features you want (autoplay on connection, enabled through settings) and track seek through long pressing the volume rocker buttons, yet adjusting volume when short pressing rocker buttons (Vol +/-). and none of the issues you're facing, only a couple of times (on sultan's rom) in case the aux cable isn't connected right! (as in half in or so bu not all into the audio socket)
i tried to recreate/induce what you're experiencing with rocketplayer, and it happened once only, when flicking the aux cable and turning it around while remaining in the socket.
i can't try poweramp, since i'm not on wifi, and not that good coverage over here. so you might give rocket player, or other music apps a shot
i hope this pose isn't considered an advertisement or sth :silly: :silly:

Thanks for the suggestion. I've tried the two players in Sultan Cm12.1 latest stable.
For PlayerPro, exactly same like Poweramp. Headsets no problem as usual. Aux will stop immediately after 1-2seconds, volume will revert back to headsets volume.
For Rocket Player, its a nice player , but:
In order for it to autoplay, the app must be turned on (if clear all recent apps it doesn'twork). And if you notice, even tho the auto play works, because if using aux it will stop after 1-2seconds, but the program will turn it on again (that's why there's static). ANd every reboot you gotta turn on the app again. And also, usually aux will have its own last set volume and headsets will also have its. But using Rocket Player, even tho it works, it will only remember the headsets volume. Like all that I mentioned in the first page. Even if I put max volume for aux , when connected after 1-2seconds it will go back to the headsets volume. There's an option to set the default volume level in Rocket Player, but which means only one default volume.
Really frustrated and disappointed with our phone. Even my 5 year old lenovo phone with 512mb of ram can do this thing properly.
I just tried my AUX cable along with my 3 headsets. One of the headsets is broken (loose cable contacts), and that's the only one that gives bad sound and pops up the voice search. Try another cable, or try the same cable on another stereo, I'm pretty sure it's those two. BTW I'm using jgcaap's CM12.1 with AK kernel.

I did try clearing it from both,recents and running apps/services but it still works flawlessly... Maybe the problem is on your end... And uf you've got time, backup through twrp, copy all your data (including twrp backup, music, photos etc.) to a computer. Flash stock rom THROUGH fastboot mode, either manually with commands through cmd. Exe or using bacon toolkit. Then flash sultan's rom, or your rom of choice. Which in my opinion is the cleanest flash anyone can get. Since it completely erases everything.. That's how i do it with anyrom, if planning to move to it. After trying it with a normal clean flash (wiping system, data, cache, dalvik). Just to be sure that there are no residuals what so ever
Other than that... Mmmh maybe you played with the permissions of rocketplayer? Or if you've got an app that does (any task killer, greenify, powernap etc. )

I've used the jgcaap's CM12.1 along with AK kernel, still has same problem. Like I mentioned before - headsets has no problems. Only when you use AUX via your PC speakers / car cd player. Are you sure you're using the correct cable/setup? THis problem is nothing new, just google the AUX problem with bacon and there's alot of cases will pop-out.

Hi thanks,
I've double tested. Turns out when you first boot up your device, you gotta give it some time like 1-2mins and the auto-play will come out. Like I said before, its a good music app don't get me wrong - but it still doesn't solve the ROOT of the problem.
I use headsets & aux, both have their own default volumes. As in I plugged in headsets, it will have the LAST set volume for headsets. And if I plugged in my AUX, it will have the LAST set volume for AUX. (I put MAX for AUX and minimal for headsets)
If you test it out with the AUX, it will still stop after 1-2seconds, and then the "AUTOPLAY ON CONNECT" feature will appear again and the autoplay will once again resume. If you don't use the default set volume on rocket player, it will keep reverting my AUX volume from max to the minimal volume for headsets.
Hope you understand. Thanks again.

Yeah i understood you, and i ran out of ideas...
So i have a galaxy s6 with ultimate nougat custom rom ( here is a link forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/samsung-galaxy-s-6--s-6-edge-unified-development/rom-ultimate-nougat-s8-port-t3681259/amp/ ) from 6 months and i have installed viper4android since then, and the issue that i am having is that when viper is active using my in over the ear headphones razer electra v2 and turn up the volume over ~70% or to 100% the sound glitches for a split second and the music stops, and volume lowers automatically to ~20 and i have to unplug and plug the headphones again,
It does not matter what app am i using to listen to music, the headphones are brand new and work perfectly fine on any other device i tried them on, at the beginig there was no problem with them and since then i haven't installed or modified my phone in any way, normal in ear head phones work without problem on any volume, i tried with my roommate's steel series headphones that he is using daily and the same thing happens when i increase the volume more than ~70%. I tried to fix this by restarting my phone several times, removing viper and installing the newest version, and searched for any similar problems that someone else might have but no clue whatsoever. I am sorry if the topic is not for this section but im desperate.
[UPDATE] I have tried different settings and i disabled my sound alive app, and it didnt work, however i noticed that rhe problem ia not in the volume but its in the bass instead. I tried to listen songs that dont have that much bass in them with viper4android on and i had no issues, but when i play songs with bass in them, then the problem occurs. Playing songs with bass and viper4android off causes no problems.
could those headphones have built in volume limiters??
I dont know, but i doubt that they have because i tried other over the ear headphones, and the result is the same
Bump?
