Dumbass phone has no idea what kind of headphones or devices i plugged into it and what other stuff i have connected in between. Stupid machine.
My phone warns me I've been listening to music at a dangerous volume for a dangerous amount of time 100% of the time when I'm driving and listening via aux.
yeah lol, I'm often plugging in slightly high impedance headphones that it just can't drive very well. it's never seemed worth it run run a dac or get a special pair of phone headphones. i rarely use it that way anyway.
but yeah, pretty much every time i plug them in i have to confirm i want to hurt myself before it will allow them to be set to a useable volume.
and yes, i do still have a headphone jack, they are still out there if you're willing to not get a super expensive phone.
I held on to the 3.5mm jack for so long but i just couldnt resist the fairphone anymore. I need my replaceable battery and ports and stuff. Changing a screen or usbc port in less than 10 minutes is just a gamechanger if anything ever breaks.
How to improve a meme in one easy step
I really hate that “no one:” shit, it often doesn’t make any sense to me.
It’s just a qualifier to insinuate that no one cares about a certain topic and then there’s that one person that brings it up out of no where.
Shouldn’t it be “everybody: ” then?
Nobody: means that everyone has some feelings about it.
If it’s Nobody and the second line applying to the same thing then the nobody part is false, because the second bit implies that at least one person feels that way.
I just don’t get it, logically.
"Nobody has said anything" sounds a bit better than "everyone has said nothing", which is about how it should be interpreted.
Like that stupid ass notification 'internet disabled for this appliation. Go to settings to re enable it. Press ok to continue'. I know, i'm the one who disabled it in the first place, get lost.
meanwhile i wish mine would still warn me. sometimes i pop in my IEMs and then press play, and my phone is like "you were full volume with the bluetooth speaker, does this mean… you want the IEMs full blast, too?"
your phone doesnt change it back when you disconnect Bluetooth? that's harsh.
Mine warn me only when it's purposeful. As you say, if I change output devices, and the sound is too loud, it says nothing. It literally only interferes with me doing something I'm purposefully choosing to do, and failing to protect me from shit I'm doing accidentally.
This is the real issue. The same volume is totally different on different devices. If they want to implement this feature correctly they need to measure the actual output of the headphones.
This makes me irrationally angry. I don't need my phone babysitting my ears and the notification doesn't happen nearly frequently enough to matter anyway. It can be a distraction, especially while driving, i always think i need to pull over to answer a call but nope, just a half assed hearing protection measure.
Does anyone know of any apps or ways to disable the feature on android?
Ideally disable all the nanny features and block forced updates. If I fucking want an update, I will prompt it myself.
Very annoying when using a speaker with its own volume. Because of course I want to have phone loud for optimal signal, and set the volume at the end of the chain instead of amplifying weak signal.
Every device I've seen do this can only reach lower levels of volume than most of the ones that don't (PCs, Walkmans, headphones with built-in radios...)
It's like that "save electricity, unplug charger" popup that I only ever saw on phones with switching power supplies, whose zero-load power is several orders of magnitude less than the heavy transformer ones. Or the constantly-moving 🔇 icon on LCD TVs, although it takes many consecutive days of a static picture to burn them in as opposed to CRTs, plasma and OLED ones. Even then, shifting it by 1 pixel per minute would be enough and way less annoying.
Protect your hearing please
This fucking thing must be a kernel level thing, because even AOSP ROMs can't get rid of it.
I think it's a legal thing so they're probably not allowed to get rid of it.
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
I think this setting is reset on a phone reboot.
There's an app for that: https://github.com/zacharee/Tweaker
You'll need to use adb to grant special permissions that an app can't request on its own.
adb shell pm grant com.zacharee1.systemuituner android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
adb shell pm grant com.zacharee1.systemuituner android.permission.PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS
adb shell pm grant com.zacharee1.systemuituner android.permission.DUMP
I don't have this anymore, using CalyxOS.
I do remember getting this and it driving me nuts. I'M CONNECTED TO A SPEAKER NOT HEADPHONES REEEE
Mine just caps sound to a maximum safe level by default,
I can go in the settings to disable this but why would i?
Hearing damage is no joke, and as a music lover it’s one of my worst fears.
I am not sure how it measures how loud the volume is but i have yet to experience the maximum not being loud enough.
If you're connected to a device that has independent volume management, then you can max out the phone volume and still have it be too quiet.
I most often run into this with my speaker setup in my workout room if I forget to turn up the volume on the receiver before hopping on the treadmill.
But, the other reason to not go too high is the audio can start degrading if the volume is too high on your phone.
You're dependent upon the recording you're listening to having been set to a decent volume to begin with. I will occasionally come across videos or music with significantly quieter sound than usual. I know what a good volume for my need at the moment is, while this warning is a dumb automatic pop-up based solely upon the single factor of the master device volume control setting - without any consideration for the actual decibels being output.
If you have your own music collection, I can really recommend normalising everything to a LUFS value of your choosing. (A common value is -14 LUFS for most streaming services Source)
Note there are two types of normalising, dynamic and linear. Linear is what you want as it'll only move the average loudness to your target, preserving the difference between the quietest and loudest parts. Dynamic normalization squashes the quietest and loudest parts into a narrower range.
I have a USB-C to audio jack adapter/sound card, which doesn't provide enough amplification for my headphones at "normal" levels, so I have to raise it beyond what android considers "save" in order to even hear voices enough to understand them, if the environment around me is a bit noisy itself. At maximum level it is still not really loud.
This and the "Are you still listening" pause EVERY OTHER SONG on my playlist is just so helpful. Helpful, that is, if the intent is to give me a fucking aneurysm.
Fuck my hearing. What about my liver?
The liver is evil and must be punished.
What?
What?!
It's a Samsung "feature". If you turn the volume up high enough, it warns you about hearing loss. Even if what you are listening to is super quiet so you have to turn it up to hear, and even if you are connected to a speaker.
Edit: Apparently it's not just Samsung phones anymore, instead it is an Android 14 feature. And apparently some other OEMs have had a similar feature for a while.
really should listen to this. I want to have normal hearing when I'm older.
my phone at 80% vol is fairly quiet with my earbuds.
I've also noticed that this warning's timing is quite random.
I always listen to music on my commutes and they've been the same commute for 2 years and Ive only seen this warning like four or five times completely out of the blue.
I think this is law in Europe. Here in Costa Rica I haven't seen this in my Note20 Ultra. The closest thing is this
Nobody is saying nothing, so everybody is saying something, or at least that's what is sounds like with tinnitus.
