I have Bose QuietComfort 25 wired headphones. Anyone else use them and have problems?
1. As soon as I plug them in to the phone and adapter, the ring volume immediately goes to vibrate.
2. The in-line microphone is not working.
3. The in-line buttons seem to provide random results on the phone, usually any button just ends up lowering the media volume.
4. After plugging in the head phones, the power button no longer turns off the screen until i press volume up and volume down on the phone.... ?????
Audio through headphones works just fine though.
Not tried them with this phone myself. Sounds like a pinout issue, like you would need a CTIA/ OMTP adaptor. Although after trying to look to see which it is, I'm seeing lots of places selling an official BOSE android compatible cable. So I guess getting a new cable, while not great, is your best option.
Try shutting down, plugging in the headphones and restarting.

This may sound totally ridiculous to most of the posts that I found regarding volume on the Hermes (most problems being volume too low), but for me, it's just the opposite. I just got my 8525 and ran the SIM unlock and updated the radio to 1.51. Then, when I went to listen to mp3s via headphones, I realized that the volume was too loud and that the system volume barely affected it. When it was near 0, it would still be too loud, then when I lowered it all the way, it would just be muted.
I know that I can use an in-line volume adapter to lower it, but it's another adapter to connect to the one that already has to convert the mini-USB to 3.5mm and would just make it bulkier.
Are there any software / registry hacks to lower or increase the volume sensitivity control?
the OEM headphones have a volume control on the side, is that not working?
I'm using an adapter to use my own headphones. I tried looking for an adapter that had a volume control, but haven't found one yet. Anyone find one that does that?
emmfan i have the same problem as you. I also have the USB adapter (htc speedport>3.5mm, standard usb, htc speedport) and using my 3.5mm headphones is just WAY too loud. even the default system sounds are painful to listen to, so that throws listening to music out the window. The strange thing is thatI vaguely remember this NOT being a problem... either way, I have the same symptoms as you. The system volume sliders do extremely little in way of volume changing, too... I'd really like if there was some way to fix this, because now my investment in the Adapter is going to be a waste..
Hmmm, I don't remember if the WIZARD had a 2.5 or 3.5 connector but it had a VOLUME CONTROL. Maybe (in worst case with an additional adapter from 3.5 to 2.5) it will work properly?
I ended up getting an additional adapter for volume control (http://www.amazon.com/Shure-EA650-C...?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1193240874&sr=8-1), which made the cable ridiculously long. Too bad they don't have a mini-USB to 3.5mm adapter with a built-in volume control. I also noticed that I lost some sound quality when I used the volume control adapter.
I finally decided to try a bluetooth headphone adapter and went with the i.Tech Clip R35 (http://www.itechdynamic.com/en/products_spec.asp?cid=2&pid=02030). The sound wasn't so good with winmo5, but now that I upgraded to winmo6, it's a lot better. And no more unnecessary adapters and cables, plus AVRCP makes controlling music even easier.
Sorry to bring up an old post, but haven't been able to find a fix yet. Anyways, I am having the same volume problem. The system volume is on the next to the last click, and media player is down to 5%, and it's still way too loud. Any help? I updated my 8525 to Schlap's 4.22 if that helps.
could that be some kind of bug? i cant imagine what its like at 100% with max system volume. lol..
i listen to music with in-ear earphones via usb-3.5mm adapter too.
i put the system volume to level 3, sounds beautiful to me.. neither loud nor soft. and volume of incoming calls/sms tones are just nice too..
the volume of music doesnt change much by adjusting the volume of the media player, its more dependent on the system volume.
and i found out that if your system volume is, for example, 50%, the volume of the media player is actually capped at 50%. that means there is no difference if you increase the player's volume beyond 50%. (applys to htc audio manager, not sure about wmp)
btw im using softbank x01ht with official htc rom
does your media player app have an equalizer/pre amp function (TCPMP) you can turn that down or disable the EQ making the volume lower

I've been using windows media player, but also tried HTC music player. Same thing for both. I have also tried the equilizer both on and off, and different settings. No difference, what so ever.
Since I received a 'extUSB --> 3.5mm' converter today I've the same problem.
Just to loud even when everything is put on the lowest setting possible.
Anyone a solution?
After upgrading to Windows Mobile 6, this doesn't seem to be a problem. But most of the time I am using Bluetooth headphones which also work much better in winmo6.
Not here.
Sadly, I have the same problem
Playing a song on Windows Media Player with left volume slider down to 1 click and volume of player at 5%. Still way too loud for office use without headphones.
I just tried it with TCPMP - the same song - and volume contorl knob for TCPMP fixed the problem. Anyone know why Media Player is doing this?
I've received today a new headset I ordered for my Hermes. It's the HTC U110 Headset Audio Adapter with 3.5 mm audio jack.
The headset has no volume control and now the volume is way too loud (and noisy).
Is there already a solution for this?

Take a look at this, it works for my Diamond.

When I plug in any 3.5mm headphone or aux cable, the screen displays "Media volume automatically turned down to protect your ears". I really hate this because I mainly listen to music in my car and turn the phone volume all the way up so I can control the volume with the car's radio. I have considered tasker or trigger (NFC) to turn the volume up all the way whenever I plug something in, but I just want the volume to stay the same from when I last unplugged the earphones. Can anyone help me fix this? I am on Sprint and have rooted my phone but haven't installed a ROM (yet).
Thanks
i would like to know as well, all i find in the sound setting was disable the automatic volume from call. Nothing from the aux input.
Wife has a GT-I9505G Google Edition phone we purchased from Google Play back in October. Bone stock (4.4.2, Baseband: I9505GUEUCML4, Build: KOTH49H.S001.131204), no root, nothing special installed.
When she goes to increase the volume, we hear 2 "volume increase" noises. They're very close together and very fast. This _only_ happens when she increases the volume. When you hit the VOL DOWN key, it plays the single, standard sound. This is annoying. Has anyone else seen this??
Also, when she has her headphones on (pair of Scoche with inline remote and mic, built for iPhones) and she adjusts the volume up or down, you can hear the volume adjust sounds in the headphones, but also from the phone itself. The same goes for when a call comes in, or Hangout. The Notification sound is played on the phone and headphones. She doesn't want that behavior. If the headphones are plugged in, the notification should only go over the headphones. (On further research, this "feature" appears to be deliberate. Some have tried SoundAbout to fix this behavior).
IPhone head sets are not compatible with android phones. The configuration of the pins are different.

The headphones work as headphones and the mic also works during phone conversations. So that statement isn't fully true. I know the internals of the remote are different which is why "Made for iPhone" headphones don't 100% work on Android devices. The middle button of the 3 can do play/pause. The Vol Up/Down buttons do not work. This is all due to the internals of the remote, and not the "pins" on the headphones. There is a way to modify "Made for iPhone" headphones to work with Android.
Still, it seems the issue about Notification Sounds being played through the headphones _and_ phone speaker isn't really an issue. It's designed to function in that manner. Many people don't like this design (and I can see a case for and against it) so there are apps on the Play Store to "fix" it. We're using SoundAbout now and it did fix that issue.
The other issue still remains, and that's the problem where you hit VOL UP and most times, you'll get a double VOL UP sound. VOL DOWN gives the standard one sound, but VOL UP, gives 2 really fast. That's annoying.
Last night, we discovered that certain apps (when running in the background) will only display the MEDIA VOLUME when you hit the VOL UP/DOWN buttons. Specifically, when we had Bejeweled Blitz running in the background, the MEDIA VOLUME would be the only option for volume control. When we closed BB, it took several seconds for Android to give us the phone volume instead of media volume. I'm thinking the only solution will be to unlock her phone, and install root, then several XPosed modules to give her more functionality.

When I use my Bose QC15 headphones with my phone, if I launch an app or press one of the nav keys, I hear a clicking sound through the headphones, like it is turning off and on almost.. I know that sounds odd, but I was wondering if anyone else has this issue and has a possible solution?
Also, when audio is playing this noise stops. It is only when there is no audio playing.
Thanks.
Hi, I'm experiencing the same thing. I bought earphones by Aukey on Amazon and they were doing this clicking that got progressively worse as the call went on. I now bought a pair of Gwee buds. Same problem. Both sound fine on regular audio video and on other phones...

I can report the same problem as well. I have a pair of RHA T20, and I can hear the clicking sound whenever I enable "reverberation" in Viper4Android. Maybe it's your sound setting?
Odds enough, it happens only one the ear that has the Mic attached to it on the Green buds. I'll try the aukeys to compare. I check the sound settings and get back to you too

6P noise also
I use my 6P in my car for navigation and occasional music. I use a cable to connect from the headphone jack to the aux in on the car's sound system. Very often, but not always, I get what sounds to me like cross over noise, playing on both channels. Rhythmic ticks and taps, some buzzes and so forth. I believe it to be digital noise, bleeding in from god knows where. It corresponds to touchscreen activity, and only occurs when the 12v adapted power supply is plugged into the phone. Unplug the USBc and all is quiet, except for what is supposed to be coming through.
I've searched quite a bit and this thread is the closest I've found to my experience. Any ideas?
Hey, first off to make things more clear here are some facts:
Phone: Nexus 6P
Earphones: Betron DC950 Earphones
Music App: Spotify
Shed Location: Bottom of Garden
Bit of a weird one here...
I bought the earphones from amazon with the intentions of them being a 'daily driver' if you will.
However; when I use them when playing my drums (which is my shed) they constantly turn the volume down.
This does not happen straight away though, it ranges from 5-10 minutes (after starting a song).
When it does happen though, the volume is turned down in increments.
When I press volume up the volume does go up.... But then turns straight back down after.
This is the only happens in my shed...
And i've used another pair of earphone + headphones which Do not have this problem.
Any ideas?
I have this exact same problem with a pair of headphones which I got from ExtremeGuard.
Happened everywhere to me though..
I find it completely bizarre that it only happens in 1 location, which means there's got to be some electromagnetic interference or something. The earphones have volume toggle and play/pause button on them, maybe it could be that.
My earphones only have a mic, and no volume toggles though.
Got the exact same issue. This happens for me when there's noise around the mic. I tried shaking the mic and could clearly see the volume indicator showing that the volume drops in increments.
Did you find any kind of solution?
