Want to freeze the volume limiter 'Nanny' but can't find it

Just rooted the phone today and DL'd TiBu and am looking for the process that causes the volume to decrease with that ridiculous 'Listening at full volume may cause your head to explode' stupid A warning so I can freeze the thing. Tired of constantly having to increase the volume to full when listening to music and then that stupid warning popping up. What is that process called so I can freeze its azz???

Well, that didn't work. The only thing it changes is no notification it's dropping the volume. It still IS dropping the volume about a third down. That is what I want to prevent, not necessarily the notification that it's doing it but the volume drop. Any ideas how to stop it from dropping the volume when I use Google Music, PowerAmp, Pandara, etc???

I use tasker for that. As soon as I plug headphones in I have it set to move volume to max. I've never found another way unfortunately.

That's one thing I miss about my old Razr Maxx, the Moto task manager that allowed me to change values during certain times of day or during certain actions. Does Tasker work pretty well doing that?? I'll charge my phone overnight at times and when it hits 100% it turns the screen on and it never goes off. And the volume is full blast at night and I'll get a task and I'll nearly jump out of my socks when it sounds.

Very Low In-Call Phone Speaker Volume

Hi,
I just got my Nexus 6P. The volume of music is very loud, but of the phone-call speaker mode very weak despite me putting it at max volume while in call.
Is there a fix/ work-around?
Thank you!

Rooting and turning up overall decibals. Though it just sounds like garbage at that point. I have tried it. The speakers are just crappy IMO.

They are great for music, it's just that the phone speakers are extremely weak. Anyone? Help?

I own the phone dude. They are the same speakers. Root it and use a custom kernel to turn up the volume. Not sure what else you think can be done. There is not a separate speaker for only calls.....

I'm not interested in pumping out all my volumes, only phone speaker

Look in your: system/etc/mixer_paths.xml and change all the Digital Volume from 84 to 95 or whatever you want, save, exit and reboot. I haven't had to do this I've been on roms since the 1st hour I received my device. Never noticed the low volume but this is what I did on previous devices and worked fine. Hope that helps.

Since you would have to root to do that, it would be much easier to just install a kernel where you can move a slider to change it. The OP doesn't want all volumes up though. Just phone.

Anyone figure out which one controls just in call ear-speaker volume?

Solved: Block BT/Headset volume warning and other task automation w/Macrodroid

One of the things I was missing w/my S7 Edge due to the lack of root was using Xposed to avoid the high volume warning that annoyingly appears and interrupts increasing the volume after connecting to a Bluetooth device. My wife and son also wanted to never see that volume warning again.
My wife also wanted to also automatically turn off wi-fi when she arrived at work, and turn it on again when she left. (Privacy issue.)
I also wanted to set volume to mid-level for ringtones and notifications at work, then max them out again when I left.
We're doing all of above via Macrodroid, and it is such a delightfully well-designed app that I think it deserves some love.
There are a number of similar apps w/varying levels of complexity and capabilities. I own/use Tasker, for instance, one of the most powerful. The thing that makes Macrodroid stand out and why I like it so much is it's excellent designed, so easy to use interface, and the fact that it's powerful enough" w/out overwhelming w/options. Translated - I installed it on my wife's and son's phones and both were setting up their own macros in just a few moments w/little or no assistance from me.
Definitely worth a look if you'd like to automate some tasks....free for up to five macros, which should be enough for most casual users. Just not seeing that damn volume warning should make many happy enough to buy the full app even if you don't need to.
EDIT: See my post below for screen shots and steps for the macro to set volume to max on Bluetooth connect. Once you do that you won't have to manually increase BT volume on your phone when connecting to a BT device, so you won't have to see the stupid BT volume warning. You can then control volume normally via your BT device (car head unit, BT headphones, etc.).
Victory.
Enjoy.

For the BT warning, can you describe what you did with Macrodroid to solve the issue? Thx.

i cant seem to find a way to disable the volume warning with this app

The voume warning only appears once every reboot. Not that annoying really

What a waste of a thread.

You avoid getting the warning by using Macrodroid to set media and BT phone volume, etc., to max when you connect to a BT device. Since that is done in the background by Macrodroid at connect you won't need to increase volume, so you won't have to see/deal with any volume warning on the phone.
See screen caps.

You're telling me that you don't see the volume warning when this macro activates? Because it does for me with Tasker.

Yes, must agree. Brainless monkeys cannot conceive situations that they themselves don't experience, and hence we get these nanny state brain dead quick fixes to complex problems. When I am driving and try to increase the volume through my car radio, I cannot because of this stupid message. I often have to increase and decrease the volume to compensate for the broadcast volume changes during adverts. It is legal for me to get my phone out and use it while driving. We are seeing the results now of the dumbed down education systems in the donkeys creating rules.

Increased headphone volume! Nice.

I just got my G4 (US991 running MM) a few days ago. Low headphone volume was crappy. I found a way to increase the volume using the built-in but hidden 32 bit Hi-Fi DAC controls. Using Nova, use the activity widget. Choose settings, then choose 32 bit Hi-Fi DAC. Be careful moving that volume slider, its very touchy and will get LOUD quick.
BTW, when choosing an activity, press/hold to launch the activity without actually linking that particular activity as the widget. This allows you to play around with activities faster without having to start with a new widget each time.

H815
It just opens sound & notification tab from settings :< H815 running v20d MM .

This is what it does on my uS991.

My H815 on MM 6.0 v20d briefly shows that settings page header but then closes and goes to the sound tab of the regular settings.

I can't found it, make a video of it please or be more specific.

I have the same thing, sound & notification.

Using Nova Launcher, on homepage, press/hold to add a widget. Choose the Nova Activity widget and place it on the homescreen. The activities list will automatically open to let you choose what activity that widget actually activates. Scroll down to settings, click on it and look for "32 bit Hi-Fi DAC" and click it. The widget will now be linked to this activity. YMMV.
I can now turn up the volume about half-way while listening to music because it actually gets really loud now. Rebooted and the setting stuck. Good luck peeps.

Guys guys. Plug headphones and play music. I got it. But the settings dont really change much Its nice to play with them tho Thanks OP

I finally found the "32 bit Hi-Fi DAC", but when I click, it send me to sound & notification, too bad, thank you.

Found it and it works , good find OP
Do the above steps and add the widget to home screen then plug in some headphones , play music and then click the widget , it does boost the volume quite a bit but I have Viper4Android installed so it might be because of that as to why my volume increases significantly.....

I use viper also. Most def. viper does such a good job. Viper + other sound mods. Are not good to run though. Can fry the voice coil in the speaker from to much boost. I dont use head phones i plug min in to my amp in my car and its to much sometimes with viper alone. Have u ever tried goin into settings in viper and setti g the ui to expert you get loads more options than when u first install it.

I've used Viper before. It was great. Tons of options available. I don't really care for super loud music. I just want to be able to adjust the bass levels so it sounds nice and deep but not boomy. Sometimes equalizers boost the higher frequencies as the bass and it's just boomy and terrible and makes me hate life. Lol. Best equalizer I used was DSPManager during the CM10 days. It made my bass super deep and clean without muddy mids or high frequencies. Perfect. I still keep my Samsung Fascinate as an MP3 player because of DSPManager and it's awesome sound.

I also found a screen mode option that offers, standard, vivid, and something else setting. Tried it, didn't see any difference. I was looking for a scaling option like I found on my S6. Darn.

ohh kick me sound settings...

Be sure headphones are plugged in and music is playing when you click the DAC option.

Ls991 cant even find a dac option on nova.

Update guys: It doesn't seem louder anymore. Was good while it lasted. Sorry for getting everyone's hopes up.
While playing around with this though I noticed that the phone recognizes different devices. I've seen a headphone icon, a headset icon, and an auxiliary device icon pop up in the notification bar. I assume the DSP works differently with different devices maybe? I don't know.

How To Guide How to enable secret Music Visualizer Glyphs Easter Egg

Haven't seen anyone mention it in these forums, so I thought I'd share this cool little easter egg (doubt it's very good for battery life if used often)
Create a contact called Abra.
Go to Settings, Glyph interface, and then to Ringtones.
Add the contact Abra you created earlier.
Go back to Glyph settings.
The option Visualize music should now appear.
Activate it and enjoy!

Shame it only does it through the speakers, through headphones or casting would be good

Thank for showing the ester egg. I was looking for this kind of mod. I am least interested in showing off glyph during call but it's best implementation for music visualization ( especially in parties).
I have never bought the phone for glyph, just for the top material use in phone (ufs3.1, ddr5, built material,etc) and hide glyph as far as possible.
But now I have got access to enjoy it. Thanks
It's working in both bt and wired for vanced yt music, that I am using.

Hi guys does anyone know if there is an easter egg or app to use the glyph as torch?

In the default Camera app if you tap the flash icon it cycles through off, auto, on, and glyph. AFAIK there's no toggle for it outside the camera app

Yup i know the camera trick but in my mind it would be also useful outside like a normal torch, finger crossed for an update

Hmm...I have heard someone use an app called Activity Launcher to activate "Always On Led Test Feature" which builded inside the phone. There's also no easy toggle function for it, but it allows you to use Glyph as a torch bypass the camera. BUT!!! I don't recommend to do so, cuz it has a reason for the function to be hidden, heard people have triggered a persist bug because of enable it. Try it on your own risk....cheers!
