Note 8 and Pie update. - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

Can someone tell me why after the Pie update that the sound is so loud etc. It sounds like the speakers are going to blow? It didnt do that before. Any fixes?

Thank you I will try that. Why did the volume change so drastically like that?

Most likely they made changes to mixer_paths xml, with the pie update. If what i suggested above doesn't work, you can always root your phone and re change the mixer_paths xml to re-config the max value of the speakers.

That's for midnight settings.

Have you tried turning the volume down with the volume buttons?

Turn off Vibrate

Hopefully a quick topic, but anyone with a Nexus 6 / Lollipop figure out how to turn off notification vibration?

I think for now you have to change the the notifications setting below the volume slider to "None". I don't have my Nexus 6 yet, but I did update to Lollipop on my Nexus 5.

Which notification/s? Most if not all (that I know of) have their own setting within the app itself. This would go in the Q&A section
Some apps like "Power Toggles" will allow you to use a toggle that gives you the old Silent mode back. It looks like it is in priority mode but it's one step further. Notification light works, alarms work but nothing makes noises (all the system noises are silenced). I am using that for now.
How is there not a complete silent mode on this phone? Ridiculous, especially considering the Nexus 9 has one and it's a TABLET!!!

There is one. Press volume up/down and then tap on None at the top.

No, this turns off ALL notifications. There should be a way to still get notifications without the phone vibrating.

I still want my notifications to show up on my phone/moto 360 but the way the Nexus 6 handles the notifications makes my moto pretty much useless.
I love this phone, but this was a stupid mistake on Google's part. You should be able to disable all vibrations without impact to notifications. On top of that, you should be able to control the intensity of the vibrations. Uggg. :bad:

Agreed. For me the vibration motor on this phone is louder than the actual notification sounds, it's embarrassing. Was able to customize intensity on my Note 2. I've just been using priority mode to keep things silent during work, and the Pushbullet app to have notifications pop up on my computer. That system has been working pretty well at least.
No fix for this yet?

You can change the intensity using custom kernel like elementalX.

I'm not exactly -against- running a custom kernel, but I'd like to modify as little as possible. At this point, I'd totally be willing to disable vibration completely rather than try and tweak it into oblivion. I'm currently on the CM12 official nightly. I was using franco kernel, and it was good, but it seems that the cm kernel is doing just fine for me right now.
If anyone knows a surefire way to break the vibration(in software) do tell!!
So I use an app called audio manager and one of the options is to make vibrations to be turned off. This has worked for me with no impact to notifications. This is a great fix for those of us who are trying to stay factory
Here is screen shot of what to do in the correct order
there is an option in the phone, and messaging app, that you can turn off vibration. go into messages.. click settings, notifications, viola.. uncheck the vibrate box.
I don't have any vibrate on any of my notifications all the apps have there own settings as to whether u want vibrate or not.

Its kinda old though:
I turn off my vibration notification by going to the app.
For me was to disable only vibration of Hangout notification.
I went :
1) slide main menu of Hangout
2) Setting
3) choose account like [email protected]
4) In HANGOUT NOTIFICAITON section, click "Hangout messages & invites"
5) uncheck vibrate to disable.
Enjoy!

[Q] Classic ringtone controls in Lollipop?

I've been using SoundHUD which kind of gives me what I want. It adds an expandable volume control panel on keypress and allows me to have a silent ringer by way of setting to Priority when I press the volume down key to 0%, but it doesn't disable vibration when I click down to silent.
I miss classic Android volume controls of ringtone, vibrate, and silent. Can I please have that back? Somehow?
There's an Xposed module for that.

Music volume not very loud

I have been noticing that if I turn up my volume when headphones or external speaker is plugged in, it automatically goes down. Im looking to rip out whatever is not allowing my volume to go up loud. Anyone have any ideas where I can start looking? I have a rooted VM Desire 510 with factory kernel and ROM. I have booted a kernel before that was not write protected and removed a bunch of bloatware and unneeded system apps.

Try using Bass Booster by Desaxed Studios from the Play Store after you install it open it up then tap the wrench in the top right corner and make sure that you uncheck Show Status Icon and Auto Detect Presets then tap the back in the upper left corner and tick the equalizer box and move the sliders up to the full top and then change them down to your likings..

Thanks! So far that app is working... I was using volume equalizer something and when I went to turn up the eq settings, my other levels would auto turn down and my max volume would diminish.

Any way to reprogram the slider without root?

Hi, like the title says. I tried Notification Slider by Seveilith, but it doesn't seem to work on the 3T. More specifically i just want completely silent on one (excluding alarms), vibrate (excluding alarms) on another, and normal ringing on the last. I don't care about priority settings or those kinds of things. But I don't really want to root (I don't miss much), since I'd lose OTA.
What all allows you to do this with root? And not needed xposed? I am rooted but do not want to install xposed
I'm rooted with exposed and tried many ways to modify this annoying slider with zero success. It's the only thing I dislike about this phone. Custom Roms will eventually fix it even if OnePlus doesn't.

Isn't that exactly what you have now? This is how mine works:
Upper: Vibrate only.
Middle: DND, alarms only.
Lower: Normal, ringtone + vibration.

Upper is not viable only. It's silent

Well you can change that pretty easily by going to the slider settings.
Settings > Alert Slider > Silent > Enable Vibration
I miss vibrate mode only too. I hope there is coming a app or xposed module.

Yes and no
Sure you can turn in vibration but everything else is silent then. Example. If I put my slider in upper I get NO notifications to my android Wear. None at all.

That's kind of strange. I feel like that's more what DND is supposed to do. I guess you could always enable the "silence phone when watch is connected"-setting in Android Wear as a workaround.

When I set the middle one, it seems like it can't turn down ring to zero, the lowest it will go is one step before. This leads me to think they don't want it to be completely silent/only vibrate. I can't take a screenshot because it keeps disappearing when I do the three finger swipe, but try it.

That's only because it defaults to changing the alarm volume in DND mode.

Is there a way to remove the Loud Music warning for root?

I don't really wan't a custom rom, but do have Magisk and TWRP. It's the last thing I don't like about this phone (just came from the Pixel 2 XL).
Try this:
In Developer Options, search for Absolute Volume, then turn it off.
I found "Disable Absolute Volume" and tried it. Still when the phone turns back on the pop up is there the moment I turn up the volume.
Yeah It seems that is not a permanent solution... You could try to automate it with tasker and autoinput, but i dont think is worth the effort...
Yeah I agree, Thanks for the info.
samfix from xda labs used to cope with it but no update since pie..
Yeah, I tried it and no go on pie. Its a really small thing, just the last thing that bugs me.
i would add the mess with dolby atmos. I think it turns off randomly.

Well, if money is not the problem, you can do it with Tasker and AutoTools and it works just fine. I don't have root. Set it up once and forget it:
Just google "disable-safe-volume-warning-no-root-required" (geez, you can't even share a link to tutorial)
I haven't found easier solution for non-root. Sorry if OP looks for something root-only...
It is available in Stock ROM, no root required.
Settings > Sounds and vibration > Volume
Tap the three vertical dots in the top right,
Select "Media Volume Limiter" (It's the only option on my phone')
(Now here comes the counter-intuitive part)
Turn it on.
Set the "Custom Volume Limit" all the way to the right.

is it possible that after a reboot the setting resets?
if so, there are modules like gravity box for edxposed that can change it for good. maybe others too.

Wherever limit you set (in the case, full volume) persists.
I have just rebooted my phone and the limiter is still on, and set to full.

That STILL gives you the warning once after every reboot.
BUT! If you use systemui tuner you can actually, permanently, disable it. Seems to be the only way without root.
@Delano.888 Yeah, just had that experience at the very moment that you posted that.
Thanks for the pointer to SystemUI Tuner.
i knew i wasn't crazy....
Does anyone know how to get rid of this with Tasker? The old method no longer works, and I am afraid I am going to wreck my car trying to click the ok on the screen when I need the volume up. Please help! I've literally tried everything from granting securetask device ownership rights etc... I can even watch the setting change on my Note 9 without affecting the warning whatsoever. Any ideas??? Also, what exactly does deprecated mean?
Yes there is. I have done it multiple times. You will need a PC and Magisk Manager though. Tried it worked on Android 10 too.
The solution is with Smali Patcher. It makes Magisk module for individual phones via PC when being connected to the phone in ADB mode.
Google it. You will find the xda link.

That issue has been fixed in subsequent FW updates.
Is this a package that can be disable from adb?
