Turn on safe headset volume after disabling it? - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
A few days ago I disabled the safe headset volume via the pop-up that appears when you try to get the volume too high. I did it because I was in a noisy environment and I couldn't hear whatever I was listening. Now I want to revert back to normal but I just cannot find the option. Where is it?
I have also tried to enable the "safe headset volume" option in GravityBox but it won't work.
Any tips?
Thanks you very much in advance.

Press on the Volume down button!!

Alternate in-call volume control?

Hello,
my Leo's volume up button is broken and I need to raise my In-call volume. However, this volume can only be accessed in an actual call, with this button (I searched on settings, I only found ringer, alarm and media volume, which could be controlled by touch-pad). Is there another way to raise this In-call volume?
My phone has the DFT-Android installed, I tried flashing back into the original Win6.5 ROM and seeing if it worked there, but it didn't, so I guess it's not a software issue.
Help is appreciated!
Use this:

Enjoy
Use Quick Settings in the Play store
Thank you guys. Decided for Quick Settings. Works like a charm!

Volume up problem with earbuds

Hi.
I had this weird problem earlier today which was solved the same way it occurred; it just happened for no apparent reason. So I was listening to music through my earbuds and its volume controls were working fine. After a while I noticed that the volume wouldn't increase when I clicked the volume up button, but it would decrease when I used the volume down button. So I unlocked my phone before trying to adjust the volume using the earbuds and for some reason volume up turned on Google Now instead of turning up the media volume.
I tried to uninstall updates and turn off Google Now but that didn't help, I also restarted the phone which didn't help either. After I managed to deactivate the app the volume up button didn't give any response at all.
So I ended up just leaving it like that, but when I tested it a few minutes later it worked fine again! Just like that. I didn't do anything! I was listening through Spotify like I always do.
What kind of sorcery is this?

Bluetooth Volume Steps too big

Hey guys, is there a way to customize the volume steps when using the Vol+/- keys? I am using bluetooth headset and the increase per volume + step is way to big, and from 0 (being muted) to +3 is fine, the next step is already way to much, I would like to customize how much of an increase I get when using the volume buttons.
Is that possible without root?
thanks for the help,
cheers
I've had that same issue with my BT speaker, Android N seems to link the volume sliders of the phone and the actual speaker.
Luckily you don't need root to turn this off:
Go to the Developer settings and enable ""Disable max volume", then you're able to have separate volume levels on your smartphone and speaker again.
Cheers

Haven't tried it with bluetooth yet but it should work. This app overrides the default 15 click volume control on android and gives you up to 100 click increments for more fine tuned volume control. Best part is you don't need root.

Found the option! Thanks a lot.
I find that using PowerAmp's Bluetooth setting for "Direct Volume Control" works better than stock since then it adjusts the actual volume of the Bluetooth device rather than the system's output volume.
You have no idea how long i was looking for this solution ("disable max volume").
A thousand thanks!

I've been looking for a solution like this for the past 6 months, installing and removing useless apps to no avail. You're a genius :laugh:

Can't find absolute volume
This is really upseting. I use this phone just for listening music I have the same problem.
I went to developer options and I don't have the "absolute volume" option avalable. Can anyone help me?
Xperia z3
Android 6.0.1
Thank you very much. It worked on my Xiaomi mi9
Disabling absolute volume in developer settings was really helpful for me. I had a problem with my s20 Ultra because when using bluetooth earphones the volume steps were too big and there were too consecutive steps where the volume was either too quiet or too loud. Now I can control the volume in a finer way.

Very loud call volume

I'm having problems with call volume. It's very loud. Everytime I try to turn it down with volume buttons I see "bluetooth" volume bar and it doesn't chane anything. To access normal (built-in speaker) volume settings I have to switch loudspeaker on and then switch it off. Then icon changes from bluetooth to normal speaker and I can change call volume but it's still to loud even on min. level wich is 20% as I can't go lower either by using vol buttons or sliding on volume bar.
Also I noticed that there are only 5 steps in call volume settings. Going down from 100% I can go 4 steps down to 20%. Fifth step would be 0% but it just won't go down below 20%.
Anyone know how to fix it?
I tried Gravitybox, but it changes steps for media volume only.
I have android 8.0
bump & update
Bluetooth volume bar only shows for first call after phone reboot. After doing the loudspeaker on/off trick with every next call volume buttons change ear speaker volume (very slightly and only 4 steps)

Disable Bluetooth sound limit?

So I have OOS 5.0.4 with bluspark I use a lot my Bluetooth headphones but when I'm trying to increase the volume little more than medium using the Bluetooth's buttons the volume is not increasing. Is there any way to fix that?
Using phone's buttons to increase volume is working just fine.

Try going to developer options and enable the "disable absolute volume" option.
