Missing Equalizer in Note 10 plus - Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers

Anyone knows why the equalizer for the frequency, bass treble are missing? It was so useful in Note 9

Im trying to translate from my swedish note 10+: Settings -> Sound and vibration -> Advanced sound settings -> Sound quality and effects -> Equalizer

Yes it is still there but only with preset equalizer. Now we can't change the frequency bass anf treble

Did you click custom?

Yes but no bass why Treble adjustment.

Can't find it either. I'm guessing you mean those two 'wheels' you could turn for quick changing?

When I choose custom I got them, but not the wheels:

So basically only the advanced custom equalizer? I am OK with that, as I never used the wheels anyway. Always used the custom tab to adjust the equalizer.
I am not sure I am the only one, but on Samsung phones, adjusting the equalizer for most of the db settings actually made the sound far quieter. The only way to get the most sound was to leave the equalizer almost the same everywhere but maybe the middle to settings one could adjust a bit. Has made me wonder if the DAC in the Samsung phones is simply trying to not allow people to hurt their hearing by cranking up certain bandwidths in the custom equalizer settings. Not a huge deal, but kind of disappointing that a phone this expensive doesn't have a kick ass DAC and even normal equalizer settings to play with.

I have the same complain and worst, this level decrease affect Bluetooth too, so, isn't a DAC thing but maybe, a normalization setting kicking in when a particular frequency is boosted....
How I miss the old "two wheels" to adjust EQ like the one in Note9, I think it worked much better than the multiband equalizer in S10/Note10

For music get the paid for Poweramp player. Excellent equalizer and much more.
This is the one you want to handle audio thru put.
It has a lot of settings and will take a considerable amount of time to set up all it's features.
Completely customizable.
Export and save settings. If reloaded on a new OS it will reaquire it's library in under a minute (I have over 6000 wav files organized as albums). It automatically rebuilds playlists as long as you saved the settings ie SD card etc.
Developer continues to support and update it.
Trick stuff, it's sweet

As this old thread is woken up, I might add that the old wheels where OP was looking for are still there...but not via sound menu in settings though:
When changing volume with the rockers, press the two arrows at bottom of appearing slider on screen. The Pop-up window will expand to allow various volume settings. At top-right the equaliser icon can be pressed, which opens an again a pop-up window with equaliser settings, which includes a toggle at top (4th of right) to chose between the frequency sliders or the "two wheels" (bass-trebble and instrument-voice).
My description may suggest it is a quite a hassle, but once used and preference set it is quite ok.

[Q] papertoss sound when unlocking my desire HD

hi there,
we all know the game paper toss.
when you start the program you hear some noise on the background, and a door open and close.
when i slide the slider down to unlock the screen, my htc desire hd makes this sound.
(it IS the actual sound of paper toss, because i compared them).
i've removed the sd card - no difference
i've removed paper toss - no difference
i've reinstalled paper toss - no difference
i've chosen a different skin - no difference
i've checked the sound options - no difference
i've turned the unlock/lock sound on and off - no difference
the only thing i haven't done is a factory reset.
and i really don't wanna do this, because i'll lose so many settings and options.
does anybody know what this is?
why is my phone making that stupid sound from paper toss?
Did you install gingerbread with sense 2.1? The sound you may be hearing is the weather app sound. If unsure go to the weather app and try the demo and see if you get the same sound.
i hope i get the same sound.. lol..

[APP][Perseus] HeadphoneAmpControl 03/26/2013

REQUIRES PERSEUS KERNEL 34.2 OR ABOVE
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for any damage this app may cause.
This app is now open sourced and is available at:
https://github.com/EternalMelody/HeadphoneAmpControl
This app allows the user to handily change Headphone Amplifier Levels. Root access is required for file permission changes to the following files:
-"/sys/class/misc/wolfson_control/headphone_left"
-"/sys/class/misc/wolfson_control/headphone_right"
Two launchers can be found in the app drawer. One launches the Control app, another launches an overlay dialog for quick amplification level changes.
App Guide:
-Balance L/R toggle: Toggles amplification level balance between the left and right channels. When checked, disables the right channel seekbar and copies the left channel amplification level value to the right channel.
-Main seekbars: Current amplification level values. The top one is left channel's, bottom one is right channel's. The minimum and maximum values are defined by "Min level" and "Max level".
Control App Guide:
-Min level seekbar: Minimum amplification level that is settable by the main seekbars. Cannot be higher than safety level or max level.
-Max level seekbar: Maximum amplification level that is settable by the main seekbars. Cannot be lower than safety level or min level.
-Toggle service (notification bar shortcut): Enables notification shortcut. Must be checked to enable safety level. Notification only appears when headset is currently plugged in.
-Toggle volume button hack: Automatically sets checked volume type to almost max. The volume buttons can then be used to directly adjust amp levels, depending on context. The seekbar determines amp level jump.
-Hack music volume: Enables volume button hack for music, media, video, and games volume
-Hack voice call volume: Enables volume button hack for voice call volume
-Hack ring volume: Enables volume button hack for call ringtone volume
-Safety level: When headset is plugged in the first time, the current amplification level is compared with the safety level. If current level is higher than the safety level, then the current level is lowered to the safety level.

Do you think you can hook into the volume button events and override the digital volume? Would be a great addition in functionality.
Edit: missed that sentence in your post

On the i317 version of your kernel,
The amp level now can't be lower than 20? If I try to set it below 20 (whether through STweaks, my app, or directly editing the file), it will just be assigned 20. Intentional? Because STweaks isn't updated to reflect this.
By the way I just updated the app to have volume button support.

Yes, you're right. It's currently hardcoded to a minimum of 20, I'll change in the next version.
I can't seem to get the button hijack to do anything at all though with your new version? Still only controls the stock/digital volume.

Hmm the icon needs to show up for it to work. The icon will only show up when headset is plugged in. Is headset plugged in? Btw there's also a bug in the checkboxes behavior which I just fixed. Try the new .apk.

Ah I see now. Stupid me. I thought you were also overriding the speaker amp.
Nevermind then, everything works fine in that case. I'll fix the minimum volume in the next kernel version.
guys can it also be implement on bluetooth headphone?

Unfortunately, this will not work on bluetooth headphones.
Hi. I have downloaded the App but I can't get it working....if I enabled balanced L/R but if I move the slider to the left the volumn doesn't get lower
Hi DirkStorck. Can you give me more details? The audible volume didn't get lowered with headphones on?
Short question: on what level should I keep the normal, digital volume control for best sound quality? Does it matter? Thanks

For best sound quality it is advised to keep digital volume at max.
Sound quality is not altered by digital volume. However, you want the analog volume (the amp levels) to be as low as possible for your purpose, because higher analog volume means more noise.
Eternal, is there a way to use it with boeffla kernel?
Ty a lot!
Great app! I can't believe I didn't find it until now.
If I could wish for something it would be a gray scale notification icon - silly little thing, I know. But I also realize that you've probably moved on by now. Regardless, thanks a million for this.

Widget to change sound setting?

Anyone can recommend a small widget which I can use to change sound setting?
So, I like to have different kind of sound settings, for example:
- All silence, except alarm and phone call
- All on, except media is off
- All max
I am wondering if I can have an "icon" on the home screen which I can quickly change it and also "show" which setting is on.
Thanks.
There's an app called Tiles in the playstore. It's fantastic. You can add all kinds of useful things to quicksettings included vibration mode and volumes. I can link it shortly.
Or you can try Ringer Modes - Quick Tile which will place it for you in the notifcations drop down.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cgollner.quicktiles&hl=en
Another option is HD Widgets
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cloudtv.hdwidgets&hl=en
That is an option in there as well. It has lots of customization. It's even on sale right now.
Thanks all, I will take a look at those.
I've been using Audio Manager PRO from Smart Android Apps, LLC for years.
You can set levels for alarm, media, ringer, system, call, and save the settings to profiles that can be placed on any home screen. I have one for work, home, car, and they do have a widget showing current levels as well.
Might be a fit for what you're looking for.

Question Widget adjust volumes separately.

Hello,
I use POCO F3, Android 12, with xiaomi.eu 13.0.6, root and Magisk.
Until a while ago I was using Audio Manager Pro which is very convenient because by clicking on the widget you could choose from preset configurations and that way you immediately had the audio volumes adjusted as you wanted. For example all volumes high or phone volume low and alarm clocks high.... Very convenient and fast.
In the latest versions of Android some audio channels I can't separate and I can't find an app or widget that does that.
Do you know of a solution to separate audio channels and a widget to quickly set your preferences?

Question Bottom slider button & game software stuff

Hello, will it be possible (in future or even now) to somehow change the slider button (or rocker or whatever it's called) that opens the gaming stuff to change its functionality - for example to make it switch between silent and normal mode? I don't really care about the gaming stuff, bought this phone cuz it still has 3.5mm jack (and great audio output) with good performance, also I'd really be happy to remove all the non important gaming stuff, I'm pretty new to making these changes so don't know where to start or if it's possible at all at this point of time
