About the boombox, resonance chamber, earpiece and stereo setup possibilities. - LG G7 ThinQ Questions & Answers

I consider buying this, but the mono speaker is a huge dealbrealer for me, even with that resonance chamber.
Now my question is... Is it possible to activate the earpiece speaker for media playback? Like on the Nexus 5X, Galaxy S6, etc.
Like, the loudness of the resonance chamber will compensate for the quietness of the earpiece, but will still have stereo sound. Or at least dual mono.

Sorry but this is right now impossible. And it's still not know if the earpieces can handle this. Maybe in the future. But still the speaker is amazing if you can overlook the stereo feature missing.

Yeah, i've just tried it.
I clearly cant overlook the stereo speakers.
The one i tried was a demo unit and it had an extra feature, the abilitty to turn the boombox off.
Which makes me believe it's just a dynamic vibration system like on the XZ2. More than that, the bass vibrations felt artificial, just as on the XZ2. Like, the "bass" came from the exact same area as the keyboard's haptic feedback.
Kinda cool, but artificial nonetheless.
Not something i would buy, especially because the retail version doesnt have the toggle to disable the "boombox".

IDK but I haven't seen an option for that on my phone. Do you remember where was that option?

this is not the phone for you.
the bass is not haptic. the results i get under certain circumstances are incredible.

I agree. The vibration is from the sound resonating through the chamber. The DTS 3D surround when connected via Bluetooth to my Ford Fusion sounds awesome. I thought the S9 sounded great in my car but this blows it away. And when you connect it via wired connection, you get both the DTS 3D Surround and the Quad DAC. Excellent sound.

agreed. this has been by far the best audio experience i've had with any device, ever.
if you get a chance, find an empty plastic 5 gal bucket, turn it upside down and put your phone on top of it with music playing. make sure there is a little gap at the bottom for the sound to resonate outward. it literally sounds like a boombox. bass thumping. i couldn't believe it.

It was in the music app and i havent checked the settings app.
But it said that it was only available on the demo device and not on the retail one. (A notification bubble popped up saying that)
I cant promise but i will try to get the non-retail apps next time i go to the store.
Or i think there could be a flag in a customization file, like how HTC does. On my phone is located at /system/customize/aac/default.xml. Try looking for similar stuff.

Then again how come i can deactivate the "boombox" on the non-retail version. Is not like it fills up the resonance chamber with something.
When you turn it off it acts just like any other phone. The bass still vibrates the phone as it should, like on any other non-artificially enhanced phone's speaker(s).
If you have the possibility, hold both the G7 and the XZ2 on both hands (XZ2's vibration set to the minimum value).
Just see what im talking about.
I dont want to sound like a hater or anything, it sounds good, i cant deny that, but im very skeptical of it's resonance chamber and what actually goes under the hood.

It's the boombox show setting in the built in music app and it does have a Vibrate function but that has nothing to do with the sound, it's when you shake it to change the cor on the screen.

I believe that Boombox mode is just for the Demo unit - whereby the mode shows you the difference between Boombox being turned on or off. I think it's just merely for demonstration only. (Because on my G7, that toggle on the left is called Boombox Show)

What does that do? The BoomBox Show.
Also, does the apk i put in that zip fail to install on your G7?
Or if it installs, does it crash?
I tried it on a Huawei P10 Plus, it installed, but it crashed when i tried to open it.

BoomBox Show is just an onscreen show in the shape of a vortex or an atom that moves to the music and the color can be changed by shaking the phone and makes the camera flash light up in time to the music. It does not turn the BoomBox feature on or off and has no effect on the sound. BoomBox Show only works with the built-in LG Music app and that is the only place you can find the settings for it or turn it on.
Please see my post which is post #10 of this thread for pics and info.

BT headset that doesn't try to be clever

Can anyone suggest a BT headset that gives good sound quality and noise reduction?
I have a Blueant Q2 and it's a PoS. It doesn't tell me who's calling, for a start; and because it's so 'clever', if I want to call someone I have to say "Phone commands", wait a bit, then say "Call person". So an extra step for no reason.
I am looking for one that I can press the button and it'll start up Voice Dial (or whatever it's called). All the name recognition etc can be done by the phone, thanks very much.
Does the Jawbone require this extra step/awkward faffing about?
Any others?
Thanks.
I am using Sonyericsson MW600 with my phone, it works great with music anyway. The song title show's on the display... I presume that the contact name will show on the display as well.
Havent made a phone call with it yet so that part I cant tell but I guess it work great there too.

Plantronics Voyager 855 is a combination of a standard-looking BT earpiece with a second earpiece unit that plugs into the first via a thin nylon reinforced cable to create stereo BT headset. I have owned at least 30 or 35 BT headsets and this is the best one I've had for sound quality, ease of pairing, long battery life, etc. Try Amazon: w w w .amazon.com/gp/product/B000UBNFT2/ref=oh_o03_s00_i01_details

Why does no one care about speaker notifications while headphones plugged in?loud

I first came across this problem on my GS3 and hardly anyone cared. Luckily CM10 did away with most of these problems. Now that I have a GN2 I can't use AOSP due to the stylus. How do you guys get around the loud notification sounds from the speaker while you are working in a quiet environment? Having to mute your notifications doesn't seem like a valid option because you might not know you got one then. On every phone I've used in the past, regardless of OS, there was an intelligent audio router that put everything through the headphones. Obviously you are listening to the headphones, so why pump it out the speaker? I'm sure people at the library love hearing blaring whistle sound effects, haha.
Secondly, an issue that CM10 also fixed on my GS3 was handling Bluetooth calls while headphones were plugged in. Once again, every other phone I've owned has been smart enough to allow the Bluetooth to override the headphone connection. This is particularly annoying in my two cars... I have to plug in the audio cable to the aux port, but I also connect to the hands-free systems. When a call comes in, I have to unplug the cable while driving to get the sound through the speakers. Seems like a lawsuit waiting to happen, and a clear sign that someone at Samsung just wasn't thinking about common priorities. These are not A2DP systems, hence the requirement for aux. Though I prefer the audio quality over aux over BT any day, so that should always be an option regardless.
Frustrated, since I don't have a workaround like I did on my GS3. Bah.

As far as notifications being on the speaker with headphones. That doesn't happen on my Note
Ringer volume and notifications volume are two different slides, In CM10 they can be merge, on by default i think.
turn down the notification volume from the volumes setting, or expand the volumes (gear button) when you hit either volume button and turn down the notifications volume.
In the bluetooth settings you can configure each device to hand just media, just voice, or both. Again gear button in that menu.
Also "Why does no one care about...blah blah blah" in a topic subject is uninformative and a little insulting, do better next time

That doesn't explain anything... yes, notifications go through Bluetooth if you use A2DP, but the moment you hook up the actual headphone port, with the basic hands-free profile, like a car, the notification sounds do not come out the aux cable. They either come out of the speaker, or the BT device. Honestly, suggesting to turn down or disable the notification volume is a copout. I think most people are unaware of these issues, and then there are many like you, who strangely just don't care, or sidestep the issue. These are both fairly serious issues, honestly. One could even be life-threatening if you get in an accident while playing with the aux cable.

You sir, need to prioritize your life before you hurt someone. (You brought it up)
Also, turning down the volume WILL solve the problem of the volume being to loud.
Of course I wouldn't allow myself to get in an accident due to that, but what is the point of a Bluetooth hands free system when Samsung requires you to fiddle with a cable rightwhen the phone rings?

Looks like you got 3 options.
1. Wait for CM (Support it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2019062)
2. Turn down the volume while you use headphones (Use tasker to automate)
3. Throw your phone in the river and use your HTC again
Also don't text and drive
Shouldn't use your phone at all when driving, since talking actually diverts more of your attention than texting... however that isn't the topic of discussion. I'm more curious why people don't care, myself. It doesn't bother you at all that every time you plug in your headphones in a quiet place, you have to manually turn off your sounds and might miss something important? What about a loud environment? I would never feel my phone buzz in my pocket when I'm running around the data center.
Seems like a mix apathy and not knowing it's an actual bug.

Nothing is very important. Automated with tasker once, never had to worry about it again. People dont care because its not an issue for most and the rest just turn it down.
I myself found it to be very strange. I'm used to HTC phones, they always do notifications through head phones. It would be nice to implement.

I'd swear CM10 does it properly, so I didn't thinking was all Android, just TW-based stuff, which we can't use since we have the stylus.
Agreed, this issue did not occur with my galaxy nexus. I hate it on my SIII, whenever I study in quiet places I have to turn the sound down. SOmetimes I forgot, and people look at me like they want to punch my ribs out when I get an email.
Why is this not addressed?
I am using SoundAbout but it causes major issues while listening to audio over the headphone jack. When I'm connected in my car, my music skips randomly. I am using a galaxy note 2.
There is an option under accessibilities that allows you to make your camera flash, well flash, when you get a notification. Not a solution, but another option. Of course if you forget to turn the sounds off and your flash is strobing also, the library I'd going to turn into a discotech... lol.
Well at the library your phone should be on silent or vibrate, if you crashed while messing with your phone in the car and then tried to sue samsung/google you'd be laughed right out of court. How is it anyone's fault but your own that YOU were stupid enough to crash your car because you couldn't leave your phone alone while driving, which is the law in most states(no phone while driving) you can also set a profile to lower the ringer/noti volume when headphones are plugged in. No one cares because its not an issue for anyone who sets up their profiles properly.
I like to break stuff!

I did a factory reset,as I was about to RMA mine for an apparent blown top speaker.
However,a reset ,I suppose,did the trick,equal sound levels are coming out of each speaker now.
Dolby still seems to be meh,any differences are negligible to me.
This is one area that after-market development is sorely needed.
If the Dolby Demo can sound rich,I would think music from Google Play/etc.... would sound better than what it does ATM,whether from the external speakers,or,earbuds............
Ya, I noticed with my first phone that after the update it quieted down, but peaks still resulted in crackle. So my guess is either a higher than average fail rate or the eq got stuck high, in the preview mode when your finger is still holding it, before it settles back down to the median area.
does anyone notice that dolby switches itself off randomly.
every time i wanna listen to anything i havew to keep going in to switch it back on...really annoying

Can you turn the speaker completely off when using Bluetooth?

There's one thing I miss about the Windows smartphone I used before the Galaxy S9 ... when I used my Bluetooth hearing aids off of it, the built-in speaker would always turn off. This meant that in a movie theater, I didn't have to touch anything -- only I could hear any sound coming from the phone.
But with Galaxy, the sound comes out of Bluetooth AND the speaker when the phone rings (it still turns off for video files). I've looked high and low in the system and phone settings for a solution and also activated the developer tools to no avail. Isn't there a way to accomplish this ultra-simple goal?
There is an app from Samsung in the Galaxy app store called soundassistant. The description says something like that for the headphones. Maybe it works with Bluetooth.

Thanks ... that did the trick. There are options under "scenarios" to plays sounds through the headphones after switching to vibrate mode and to switch to vibrate mode when headphones are connected. It recognizes Bluetooth as headphones, so it only vibrates on a phone call when I'm connected. I'd prefer no sound at all, but I can live with this.

Bluetooth audio quality question

Hello. I change phones alot and have noticed that some phones(all android) have better bluetooth playback than others.
I had a oneplus 7 pro before this phone and the bluetooth quality to my truck was great and had no issues but with this phone the highs sounds scratchy or like if the speaker is bad. But if i connect it with a wire connection it sounds great. Everything with the 2 phones is the same. On both i was using the galaxy watch and pretty much the same apps. On a previous phone the note 8 i had the same issue but it was a different car. Seems like its the way samsung handles bluetooth.
Has anyone had this issue? If so was there a fix?
Thanks

What do you mean?
The only two things I think about is the codec used that may be different across devices, and the Bluetooth settings that sync the phones volume with the headset (the differences are noticeable).
Since no DAC is used in Bluetooth, I don't think it can comes from them, for a same headset.
On Samsung phones you should run the adapt sound process. Try this.
I tried with the sync volume off too and no improvement.
I looked for the adapt sound and my phone doesn't have that setting. Or is it something different?
It's in Sounds and Vibration 》 Advanced Sound settings 》Sound Quality and effects 》 Adapt sound
You have to do this in a quiet place and ensure to answer honestly. If you can't hear the beeping press no.
After doing this the sound quality is night and day difference.
Ok found it. Ill play with it a bit. Thanks
I've had issues sometimes with audio being piped through the "Calls" Bluetooth channel versus the "Audio" channel so worth checking as the quality is obviously night and day.
I also like enabling Dolby Atmos on my Note 10+ for music so worth playing with too. Additionally, I recently found Samsung's Sound Assistant app which let's you customize a bunch of sound settings so worth checking out as well:

Easiest is probably just uncheck calls in your phones BT settings for your truck (and make sure audio is enabled). If the sound is still not great then this isn't the issue.
Sorry to respond to an old thread, but I was wondering if any of this fixed the OP's problem. I followed all the recommendations here and on other threads but have not been able to solve my recent Bluetooth audio problem. The sound has been terrible lately.
Same issue here on my s10+. When playing any audio in my car via BT i hear the distortion/hissing noise especially when the song has a higher treble frequency.
I have just about tried all fixes i could find on Google, and no luck.
When connecting to my ear buds (Jabra Elite 65t) it disappears and checked in developer mode that it supports to AAC for BT Codecs.
But when connecting to the car it reverts to SBC.
The issue clearly lies on Samsungs side, as my brother has a Huawei p30 Pro, also has bluetooth 5 and plays amazingly well in all aspects (Bass-Mids-Treble).
I know I'm posting this almost a year later, but i am desperately looking for a fix.
SN. I have recently updated my phone to Android 10, despite all the complaints to Samsung from many users... Sadly this issue has not being fixed on my side.
From what i see online, people have given up on Samsung and opted for Rooting their Samsungs and installing Viper4Andriod.
Has any one done this and can confirm that it fixed the issue?
