hello.
I have very annoying problem since day one on my Galaxy S I9000 with FroYo. The volume on headset(original) is too low, barely audible, unless I press and hold the button that is on the headset. I have tried to hook up stereo speakers with 3.5mm jack and they have very low volume as well. I have tried headphones from motorola and blackberry - same thing - low volume unless holding the headset button.
I have Hannspree Hannspad SN10T1 as well and it has the same problem, it runs android 2.2. No matter what volume boosting apps I use the problem persists on both devices.
P.S. Same headsets (samsung original, blackberry, and motorola) I used to test both devices - work perfectly on my motorola defy phone. So I presume that the headsets are OK. It must be something wrong with Galaxy S and Hannspad.
Both devices are hard resetted and non-rooted.
Any help will be apreciated.
Thanks

And you are sure that the plug is all the way down?

Absolutely sure. Even tried to pull it a bit, but then just one of the headphones working. The plug goes all the way down as it should, still very low volume.
I can't be the only one with two completely different devices running android 2.2 that share absolutely the same problem.
Is there any software that can swap channels on the headsets? or swap channel for the microphone with one of the speakers, because it seems to be non-propperly configured channels to me.
Any other suggestions?
the pin-out configuration for these phones are different from most and the only headsets that i know that are compatible are nokia headsets. theres also adapters you can buy that will convert the wires the right way so the earphones/mic/button all work properly.
this one is confirmed to work: http://www.meelec.com/MEE_TRRS_Adapter_for_P_Version_Headphones_p/adptr-trrs-35.htm
Thank you very much for clearing that out evil-doer !
I will try one of those.
I thought - when I had this problem - that my headset was defect. So I bought a new one from eBay.
Everything is nice so far - The new one is working great.
I hadn't the chance to test if it's working on another device.
is there to solve this through the service mode?
Hello,
I saw this annoucement today > Sprint Exclusive Harman Kardon Phone with special earbuds
This got me to thinking, a lot of the Harman Kardon earbuds have volume control and answer/pause/hangup buttons. In theory, the hardware on this edition is identical to the other HTC M8s in the world. This is technically just a software optimization and a packaging of name brand earbuds. So I wanted to start a thread for Earbuds/Headphones that people are using that have working volume controls on the M8.
I am using some Note 3 (Samsung) earbuds with volume and call button. The volume bottons (Up - Skip forward a track, Down - Skip Back a Track) and the Call button (pause/play music) work, but not as expected. I know it may be a combination of software and hardware, but figured there has to be some thing that can work on this phone. It seems silly to have a phone with superior sound quality on the auxiliary output as well as the front facing speakers, with limited options for earbuds/headphones.

From what I have seen in my quick study into both the M8 & M8HK firmware & rom, it looks to be 100% software. You can actually find all the references to the HK software & enable it in settings by modifying the existing xml in the ACC folder. It won't do anything YET, just enable the options in settings, but once someone has a chance to do some digging & testiing, I am certain it will be an easy thing to implement. There are also already a few headphones that will work with HTC devices that can control volume. There is a thread just like this with lists in some of the older device threads, like the One X, One + & One M7.
obviously the stockers that come with the m8 work. also i have used a set of jaybird bluebuds but they are full bluetooth however everything works as it should.
since trying the stockers out last night, i have to say they sound better plugged in compared to wireless (obviously due to better connection and amplifiers etc). this got me thinking what others are available. i have been looking at the bowers and wilkins c5 earbuds. not the cheapest not the most expensive available but they are advertised as apple compatible. apparantly when used with android only the volume controls dont work. has anyone tried these out on a android.
I purchased the OEM headphones from HTC's site:
http://www.htc.com/us/accessories/htc-stereo-headphones/
And even these don't control the phone properly. Which sucks because the website says fully compatible with the M8.
have anyone used the bowers and wilkins c5 earbuds with an android specifically the m8. would love to get these but a bit expensive if they dont work as they are advertised as compatible with ios devices.

That's one ugly HTC One M8! Looks like a huge iPhone 3g! I'm very happy with boomsound and the stock equalizers, music has never sounded better in my car streaming via BT. I've always used the latest Jaybird BT headphones. Once you go BT headphones it's hard to go back to wire/cord.
Volume control and play/pause should work with pretty much all headphones. Previous/next track and scrolling - not. This is because Apple has some very weird patents for music controls via cable. So nothing is gonna change in this matter anytime soon.
Not really true. Just about every earphones I've used that have 3 buttons don't control volume on Android, but they do on iOS. If they work on Android the pin out must be different.

That's exactly my issue. Stock ear buds that come with phone only have answer pause button. And any I've tried with volume only skip track. Sucks about HTC OEM stereo ones because I almost bought those. The search continues for volume control ear buds. I know wireless prob fixes problem, but I'm old school and like wired. Also, don't want to have one extra thing to charge. Still resisting Bluetooth as long as I can because most last 8 or so and I would have to charge daily. I use earbuds all day.

I've been using Sony XBA-2VPs on my GS4 (with volume wheel instead of buttons) without button mapping apps. Went to use them on the M8 and still works like a charm.
I believe a-JAYS Five would also still work on the M8 and that has volume buttons.

I've owned the c5's for about 2 years now and they work flawlessly. Control every thing without issue. And sound better than any other earbuds available imo.

Maybe it is the ROM you are using or a mod you are running because I have those exact headphones and they worked perfectly for my M7 and now for my M8. Play/Pause button, Volume Up/Down, 2X for Forward and 3X for Reverse, it all works. What isn't working properly for you?

Quick question: is the wheel a.. Potentiometer? If so, this has nothing to do with the phone itself.
About the apple dilemma: apple has a different wiring. Most of the headphone producers build for the majority, which they think are apple users. They have to decide. If it works on Android, the Apple people are mad. If it works for Apple devices, the Android people are: silent.
It's our fault.
Also, many OEMs that build Android devices do their own thing, which does not help, either.
It'd be nice to see some unity. But that's not going to happen soon, if at all.

Weird. I'm running Skyfall with barely any mods on top of it.
The headphones are working as follows:
Volume + = Next track track
Volume - = Previous track
Middle button = Play/pause
Are you running a customer ROM?

I have tried several 3 button wired earbud and volume control control don't work. Even my wife G2 has the same issue and it is stock 4.4.2. What I searched Google it is bug in 4.4.2.

I've had these for quites a while and love them! I hear ya on being old school, but these last 6-8 hours easy. They charge quickly and sound great. Volume control, water/sweat resistant, a little pricey but a worthy investment.

I'm running InsertCoin right now but they worked on the stock ROM also. That was one of the first things I tested when I got the phone. I work overnight and ride around listening to music all night. Having working 3 button headphones are very important to me.
Just chiming in... I just received the HTC RC E190 set from Amazon. On my M8, completely stock, AT&T ROM, with both the stock Music app as well as Play Music, the volume + button will skip back one track, and the volume - button skips forward one track.
I got the original htc earbuds and for me they just work great. first i use them with an htc one x+ but hey just stop working sometimes. but now with the htc one m8 they work all the time. there is just one thing i dont like, is that i cant use the voice control when the screen is locked. i think it would be great if htc gave us the option to activate this,.
the sound of this earbuds are just great for me, the bass responde is very nice, but now i want to try something like the Dual Driver 3-button Black (Android) from degauss labs, they cost like 100 dollars, or the Sabotage Royale 3-button Black (Android) that costs 60 dollars
i hope this can help you
Hi, i've bought these: http://www.plantronics.com/uk/product/backbeat-go-2 .
Very practice and the sound is good.

I bought a couple of somewhat expensive ($130) in-ear plugs with a remote on the cable, just to find out that the only button that works on the remote is the center one (the usual 1 click pause, 2 click next, 3 click previous). The 2 volume (+ and -) buttons don't work.
It is a pair of "Supra Nitro In-ear" (they actually come with a switch on the back to switch between iOS remote and Android/Windows Phone remote).
The thing is when I went to the store the guy there tried them on his vanilla Nexus 5 and they worked perfectly. When I got home I tried them on my brothers HTC One (not m8) and they worked (although the buttons did not change the volume on his phone, but changed tracks).
Why won't they work on my Moto X XT1053 (T-Mobile)? Usually I am running a custom ROM, atm Krypton 1.31, but I thought that maybe the problem is in the custom kernel so I tried flashing the stock kernel, but they still didn't work. I also tried the faux one with no change.
I don't have the possibility to flash total stock ROM (because I ain't got no room for a full Nandroid backup, d'oh), but would that be the solution?
Has anyone got a 3-button headset to work with the Moto X?
Any help is appreciated!
The only wired headset I have is from an iPhone and the volume buttons do not work. However, I have Jabra Sport+ Bluetooth headphones and the volume does work on those.
I believe no word 3 button headset will work with the moto x unfortunately.
Bluebuds Bluetooth ones work with 3 buttons. They are spendy but worth it. Made for Olympic athletes they are sweat water proof, great comfort, and battery, and range. Very high quality.

I got these Sennheiser CX 2.00G earphones and they have inline volume and play/pause controls of which only the play/pause works. I tested the earphones on a friend's Huawei P9 Lite and the controls worked without problem. I was wondering if there was a way to get them working on my phone too? I am running CM 13.0 20161221 Snapshot if thats important. I believe this issue is not hardware related as all 3.5mm plugs on Android devices use the same standards!
Some phones have additional stuff (not sure if I would call it hardware) to handle in-line volume controls. I have a pair of Piston 3s, and while the volume controls don't work on my Moto G 2014, they work on my Galaxy Tab 2. There's nothing you can do, just blame Motorola.
I have a big problem with the Mi A2 - it's really quiet using headphones (through the stock adapter). It's not headphones problem. Now, the question is, is that because of the software or maybe because of the crappy adapter? I need the people from EU country to speak here because maybe it us because of the stupid EU law.
Noticed this too. You get a slight improvement with viperfx and master gain /xloud , but that's all I found out.
Now, even if I am a pretty solid fan of Jack + high end headphones, we are in 2018, moving to BT headphones with Bt 5.0 is the way to go. On this matter. Having aptx advertised and not able to use it without build.prop tweak is a more serious matter IMHO ??
Still Loving my mia2 everyday more tho. This thing is getting faster everyday and having the governor set to ondemand + touch boost disabled make it fast as hell and crazy battery performance (getting solid 5-6 hours SOT)

Same problem.... headphones were pretty loud on my old Mi4... now its really low. :/
What do you mean with "touch list disabled"?
Thanks!

I love my Mi A2 too but I swear I can't listen to the music because the volume is so damn low. While you are rooted, could you send this file - system/etc/mixer_paths_tasha.xml and this system/etc/mixer_paths.xml? I am sure low volume can be fixed by editing these files.
They can be stored in this place too - vendor/etc

This problem is something I struggle with too. Might it be the usb type c adapter to aux which is the problem? Can anyone try with a different adapter and report back? I am using Xiaomi mi in ear pro headphones. I need to use max volume to have a volume which I consider medium.

I just got my Mi A2 and the audio volume seems very low when Bluetooth paired to my cars stereo. Maybe halve the volume of my old LG phone. Very weird since the audio volume thru the Mi A2's built-in speaker is VERY loud.
Stock dongle's output is slow. Get some other 3rd party and sound will get louder. I have bought and its sound is quite louder than stock's one.

I just got google's newest dongle, it is good. The volume, while not overwhelming, is certainly loud enough with music. Dynamic Range seems quite improved also. I figured for 12 bucks, not much to lose. But turned out improvement for sure.
Mi A2 audio quality
I am currently using the stock dongle and mi piston fresh earphone on my Mi A2 for music. The audio quality is really poor. There's noise and audio is muddy. Is anyone experiencing this and is there a way to improve the audio quality?
I used the headphones of the leeco le Max 2 type c and it sounds wonderful ... but when using the adapter for my headphones Xiaomi sounds very slowly
MIA2 Bluetooth Audio output is extremely low? And solutions
yes I got the solution
step One connect BT device
and tap on Bluetooth icon long press on notification bar
go to more settings
and which device is connected through Bluetooth there is settings icon like button, tap on button uncheck phone off and contact share Except Media Audio.
Bluetooth audio is quality is improved alot.

This doesn't help at all. You'll still end up being stuck with SBC or AAC codec.
I recently converted my phone to Mi 6x and flashed AospExtended v5.8 Rom. Now LDAC is working perfectly with my sony wh1000xm2 headphones and volume output from stock dongle has increased to normal levels. So finally I'm able to use my MI A2 for listening music and I don't need to carry my old Moto X play with me just to use spotify.
I don't think problem is low quality of stock dongle. After all it is just simple adapter and it shouldn't have any or very little difference on audio quality (audiophiles may have different opinions). And I also had very low volume via bluetooth on stock rom.
I'd really love to use the stock rom because the stock camera is much better for day to day use than these buggy gcam ports, but low audio output makes it impossible. Mi a2 is great phone with ****ty firmware and I don't have any high hopes for Xiaomi to fix these bugs. Maybe in the future when development really kicks in we got rom wich is capable for music and photos.
