Problem:
Hello, so this is my biggest annoyance with the Robin, which I have been using for about 6-8 months now (and recently FINALLY was upgraded to N).
My problem is that, with any bluetooth device (speakers, headset, car head unit), there are only two styles of volume. This is likely caused by Bluetooth absolute volume (or synchronized volume). I don't know how to disable this without root.
1-3 is VERY quiet, I can barely hear it at all.
4-10 is VERY LOUD, I can't even wear my headphones and listen to music.
I mean, 1-3 goes from like 1-2dB, and then 4-10 jumps straight to 90-120dB. There is no middle ground, and it doesn't help that every bluetooth device now pairs with the volume control, too. I can't set one setting on my phone and fine-tune the volume on my device like I used to be able to a year or two ago.
I would like to listen to music using my phone again, but this is making it impossible..... I don't want to root this phone as it's a work phone and the stock robin android is very good, so I won't be able to manually adjust volume settings (unless that no longer requires root)
Cheers!
Resolution:
Android N simply switched to absolute Bluetooth volume controls. In the past I only knew how to bypass this with root privileges, however my stock Robin OS now shows a new option in Dev options to manually disable Bluetooth absolute volume. Disabling this fixed all sound issues I was experiencing and increased the quality of bluetooth sound.

I love the AudioBooster..! it boosts or mutes the right frequencies...
The only thing is that everytime when an interuption occures (phone call, switching player etc. etc.) the AudioBooster resets the sound back to flat level.
The sliders are still on the same place and when i just tip a slider it works again.
Anyone same prob? is there a solution for it?
couldn't find anything bout this prob in the forum.. Don't know if its Rom related... I use INDIGO full

I noticed this as well...
It also happens when you use the buttons on the W100 - Wired Remote. Very annoying because to have the EQ enabled you cannot make use of the remote, which deafeats the purpose of the remote entirely.
I would be enternally grateful to anyone with enough talent to fix this.
Allright, ive got another audiobooster, (replaced it by INDIGO's internal one)this one (this one is enabled... ):

but now i cant seem to enable it...... Anyone any ideas?
This one won't work. It is made for HTC LOVE. We have already tried to make it work on trinity but it can't. I think it is an hardware problem. In fact it is as if you wanted to make a 6 channels sound card driver or software work with a 2 channels sound card. It can't work cause the hardware isn't the same.
Ah tha explains alot.. lol thnx !
With the World Cup in full swing, I'm urgently looking for an app for WM simiar to:

the thread you linked to has just an mp3, not an app. to set it as a ringtone, copy it into the windows folder on your device memory (not sd card). you may have to reboot after this but then, it should be an option for setting as ringtone or alert
EDIT now that i think about it, you may have to convert to .wav or can use the mp3 trimmer app found on most ROMs
oh sorry- didn't see that it was just a mp3

Haha, class! Can't wait to annoy everyone at work with this. Thanks

It doesn't work on my Blackstone
After blowing the mic I get the message my phone is not supported. When I quit the app, the volume has gone to silent. Am I doing something wrong?
Are you blowing straight into the mic? (note you must blow BEFORE tapping Ok)
Eventually I passed the mic-check, but I don't hear anything while blowing in the mic.
Tried it too when tapping my finger on the screen while blowing, but it won't work
Still the volume is switched to silent after I close the app. Tried 1 to 5, no difference.
so neither sounds when tapping? I guess there is something wrong with your volume. In my case it reverts to my previous volume when I quit...
I just briefly tried it and it worked the first time on my Blackstone.
I really don't understand.
No sound when tapping either. Installed it on internal storage and storage card, no difference.
I've played music in the background while running the app and I can still hear it when tapping the screen. Still no vuvuzela-sound though. When I quit the program, the phone switches to silent-mode.
Really strange.

So indeed there was a problem on some ROMs maybe...
Hello Guys and (Girls)
I've got a lil problem which is really pissing me. I can't listen to music normal. Allways the songs are skipping or restart whatever. Sometimes it also just phones someone, while im listning to music
I tryed 3 diffrent Headphones of Phillips, Zenheiser and Apple. They all didn't got a Mic or something to skip songs.
But they are showed as a Headset on my phone. Sometimes they dosn't show up as that, than it works perfectly.
Is there a way to disable the headset functionality or whatever.
WHAT CAN I DO???
Best Regards
safari
Does the skipping occur when using another media player such as DoubleTwist?
Are you rooted? If so which ROM have you got?
I got a rooted phone.
I'm using Android Revolution 5.1.10.
And its in every music-player also in the stock one.
Normaly i use the player called "MusicMod"
It occurs while i walk/run/jump or get on the cable with my fingers near the headphone port. Sometimes also with no reason.
try to clean to 3.5mm you may have dirt there..
just a question, when you plug the headphone to your dhd, do you see an icon of a headphone or headphone with mic on the top bar near the clock?

I had the same issue, and the fact your phone recognize a mic that doesn’t exist just support that you may have dirt there...

You might want to try another ROM after all the other suggestions because I had the exact same problem on Cyanogen but not on any other ROM. Any random movement would mess about with the music player.
ok, i have same problem with buttons when i turn them off itsok but i wannabe able to skip track while im running, i notice something strange when i look at the back of the phone (at 3.5mm jack) i see bronse color, i think its wires inside of phone, anyone of you guys with same buttons problems can see that on their phones? so i can moveon my next diagnose if you dont see it
So on the G7 as with other recent LG phones I have used (G6 and V30) there is no syncing of the media volume between the device and Bluetooth headphones i.e. you have to set the volume independently on the device and headphones which means on headphones that have no companion app (e.g. Beats Studio 3) you have no way of viewing the volume of the headphones as the media volume shown is just for the device. It is the same story on the Sony WH1000x (but the companion app at least lets me see the volume) but curiously the WI1000x do sometimes link the volumes ok which is strange?
This obviously works on an iPhone and also seems to work just fine on other android phones I have tried recently including the pixel 2xl, Samsung S9+ and OnePlus 6.
Is this just another quirk of LG’s awful software or is there a way around it? It may sound quite minor but as someone who uses his phone for music every day it is really annoying and it making me consider taking the hit and selling it on for a S9+ or 2XL?
Thanks
I would like to have a solution to this as well, it's annoying that Mt by headphones don't sync up the volume with my phone like my s8 did.
I wonder if the fact that the wi1000x work sometimes coupled with there not being a separate Bluetooth volume display means that it is supposed to work but is a long standing bug? It was the same on the G6 and V30. Was hoping it had been fixed with Oreo.
I just had a check at my local HiFi shop.
I tested several headphones on BT to my brand new LG V30.
Only one headset had synchronized volume: Sony WH-1000Xm2
None of the following headphones had sync: my own Sennheiser PXC 550 and the shop's B&O H9i, B&W PX
Strangely, the headset's battery status is shown on my LG status bar so there is a communication, but it seems LG in some way has skipped the volume sync possibility.

I come from Moto Z Play (Oreo, Android 8) and on that device the sync worked without any issues.
First off, I Love the phone. Hardware is great, Android 12 is mostly great but there are some weird things I've noticed that haven't really been an issue on previous phones pre-Android 12. I got rid of a OnePlus 8 pro for the Pixel 6 pro.
1: I have to use a Bluetooth to 3.5mm adapter (Bluetooth to auxillary input) on my car to Bluetooth to my stereo. Issue is, the adapter is ALWAYS on and when in range my phone is ALWAYS connected to that adapter. Android 12 gives you the option to quickly switch when you're playing music or watching a YouTube video in the volume slider menu but not say when you're playing a Facebook video, Instagram video or similar. The workaround has been to just completely disconnect Bluetooth which interferes with other devices like my Fitbit and such.

2: AOD doesn't come on when it's dark out. I usually get up at around 4am, and of course it's dark in my room. When it's pretty dark, not even pitch black AOD doesn't turn on. It's almost like the phone lacks a proximity sensor and relies souly on a light sensor for AOD. Another scenario was I was out with my family trick or treating tonight, in the suburbs where there was plenty of light and AOD still didn't come on when I pulled out the phone to check the time. Of course this isn't a huge issue, just an inconvenience
3: the lack of ability to set your own lock screen shortcuts. I don't use Google pay, nor do I control devices using the Google home app or shortcut.. it would be nice to set those to whatever I want. To add into that, I do have those both disabled but occasionally the Google home shortcut appears when I click the power button to turn the phone on. If I click it of and back on about 80% of the time it disappears.
I don't want anyone to take these as complaining, just thought maybe I'd chime in on some "issues" I've noticed.
