Bluetooth and wired headset call volume issue (LOUD on VZW Note5).

I have spoken at length with samsung and plantronics customer support to no avail and would like to see if anyone else has had this issue. Bluetooth and wired headest call volume is extremely loud, much louder than media volume on the same devices. Even with volume set to minimum on both phone and bluetooth headset it hurts my eara and does not seeem safe for longterm use. Devices I have replicated the problem on include Plantronics Voyager Legend, Plantronics Voyager Edge, Jabra Stealth, and some skullcandy wired earbuds. So far both samsung and plantronics state thay they do not guarantee compatability with other manifacturers devices.

any one have suggestion?

[WIP] Headset buttons detection

Hi,

I wrote a patch to make the Moto G recognize the buttons of headsets/headphones. The hardware is capable of detecting the buttons, Motorola simply didn't write the code for it because at the time Android was not able to make use of them.

I have a minor problem that I can't easily overcome without help.

The chip that takes care of the detection simply reports some value when a button is pressed and this value depends on the specific headset used. It's up to the kernel decide what to do with that value. Each headset implements the buttons in a different way, so I need to gather some data. I think there's some sort of standard in the industry, so probably it will be possible to implement a generic solution (how can other devices do that otherwise?).

At the following address, you can find a simple patch that makes the kernel print that value whenever a button is pressed. It really does nothing other than that.

Code:

---

---

To get the data I need, run from Terminal Emulator/adb the following (as root):

Code:

---

cat /proc/kmsg | grep TPA

---

(the command must be stopped manually: close Terminal Emulator/Ctrl+C/Vol down+C etc...)

Now, every time you press a button, you should see a new line (maybe more), for instance:

Code:

---

<6>[  97.148228,0] TPA: value: 67

---

I'm interested in those values and their corresponding button, i.e. the button you pressed to get the line.
The value is not constant, you'll get different values for the same button. It's not a problem.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that the prebuilt kernel here below is for falcon. If you are using CM made for falcon, then this image is OK.
At the following address you can find a prebuilt kernel image made for the current CyanogenMod 12.1, anything not too distant from the currently nightly should be fine (I built the kernel three days ago) (do whatever you want with this prebuilt image, mirror it, repackages it etc...):

Code:

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_kernel_motorola_msm8226/ at acfe66c6fee + patch linked here above

---

If you want to test the prebuilt kernel image without flashing it, use fastboot:

Code:

---

fastboot boot path/to/the/boot.img

---

In this way, all you need to go back to your kernel is rebooting the phone.

PS: Most likely headsets made by Apple won't be recognized.

Xposed Module Request: Notification Sounds Only Play On Headset

I don't know where to request modules to be made, so I'm sorry if this isn't the right forum...

When I connect a headset/headphones/earphones to my phone, the notification sounds (and the sounds when you change the volumes) are being played on both the phone and the headset. This has been an annoyance for many people since a long time ago.

I use an app called SoundAbout to change the settings. However, after a few days, it will not work anymore, and it says I have to buy the paid version of the app. Also, I do not need the other features included in the app and I don't want additional two app icons in my drawer.

I hope someone could create a module that changes the settings of the sounds when an accessory is connected.

Thanks!

Headphone jack not recognizing headset

PROBLEM:
Essentially my phone has stopped recognising when headphones have been plugged in, but the headphone port isn't broken since it plays audio through both the speakers and the headphones at the same time. I recognize that this might be a hardware problem, so I'm just looking for a temporary fix. Ideally a small app that allows me to toggle where the sound is played through.

SPECS:

• Rooted android 4.4


• Cubot s308

ALREADY TRIED:

• Checked headphone port for dust/debris using a light, wiggled inside with a cotton bud and so on


• Tried a few apps, notably 'sound about' which doesn't actually change anything


• Other headsets - all I have tried have the same issue, so its not a headset issue

All other posts I can find are where the headphone out is permanently on, or where the port just doesn't work, so any help would be apreciated.

Lollipop 5.1.1 Bluetooth headset control

Sorry if this is not the right subject, been looking to find something better suited but was unable to find.
As stated above, I'm having issues with controlling music from my Bluetooth headset. I've already done some troubleshooting but am currently at a loss and hope to find some help here.

Let me first describe the problem first:
When I connect my Bluetooth headset (Philips SHB7150) to my Xperia Z3 tablet compact I can not control my music. If I start playing music from the app, it plays fine through the headset but I don't have control. This used to work before, unfortunately I can't pinpoint when the issue started but it's possible it happened after upgrading from Lollipop 5.0.2 to 5.1.1.

Now on to my troubleshooting results:
- When I turn off the BT headset and turn it back on, it connects to the tablet without hassle but I have no music controls. :mad:
- When I turn off the tablet and turn it back on, it connects to the BT headset without hassle but I have no music controls. :mad:
- When I pair the headset again using NFC, it connects to the tablet and I have music control :good:
- When I turn off BT on the tablet and turn it back on it connects to the BT headset and I have music control :good:
- When I connect the BT headset to the tablet and go into BT settings, open the settings for the BT headset + uncheck 'media' + confirm + check 'media' + confirm and I have music control :good:
- When the tablet connects to BT in my car, it starts playing after the play command from the receiver. :good:
- In these last 4 cases, the solution is only good until next time the BT headset is turned off and connects again. Then there is no music control until I repeat one of those 4 steps.

Things I have tried:
- Use another application to play my music (stock Xperia music app, Google music, Rocket Player, Shuttle+, ... are all experiencing the same issue. So I don't think it is due to the music playing software
- Tried an application (headset button controller) to try and change the button behaviour but it does not receive the command from the headset (no beep)
- Connect my BT headset to another device (Sony Xperia S, MacBook Air) and it works fine (both after pairing and after turning BT headset off and on again)
- Factory reset my tablet using Sony Bridge for Mac -included wipe of internal data-, still the same issue.
- I tried to find some ADB command to reset everything BT, but all I could accomplish was using the command to start BT (due to lack of knowledge on ADB commands)
- I deleted all app data and cache for 'Bluetooth sharing' in application manager + restarted and connected again (no success)
- I re-paired the headset once more but this time without adding it as a smart-lock unlocking device but had no luck controlling music when I connected it again

To conclude:
The headset is working fine with other devices, I can't pinpoint if this is a software/hardware issue because it appears to be only for this BT headset/laptop combination and with all music software AND continues after factory reset...
Other BT devices (=car stereo, I don't have another BT headset to test with) are working fine to control music on my tablet
Restarting BT on the tablet or re-autoring the use of media in BT settings on the tablet permanently resolves the issue until the next time the headset is connected.
So it looks like either something hijacks my device as soon as it connects to the tablet OR the media-authorization gets revoked in the BT settings for that device. Perhaps I'm saying stupid things, but I'm really hoping that you, the more knowledgeable Android developer/enthousiast/... would be able to make more sense and to give me a hand in order to fix this issue.
I currently am dependent on my tablet for playing music during my daily train commutes since my beloved Xperia Z1 Compact is in for warranty repairs :(

ANY help would be appreciated !

Bluetooth headset control issues

Unfortunately, I am currently experiencing a strange issue with my Bluetooth headset controls.
When I turn on my BT headset (Philips SHB7150) it connects automatically to my device (Sony Xperia Z3 tablet with stock ROM & unrooted) BUT the RocketPlayer does not play when I press the single-button control on my headset as it does on other players (like Play Music).
When I press the play button in the app/widget, music is being played through the headset but I can't control from the headset.
Quite annoying since my tablet is in my laptop bag most of the time...

When I turn off the BT headset and turn on, pair again using NFC (manually pairing makes no difference, I also tried this) I'm able to control the music with from my headset. Until next time I turn it off, then I have to pair it again in order to work properly.

I triend manually deleting the pairing relationship between headset and tablet before pairing again and I also deleted all data & cache for 'bluetooth sharing' in the application manager. I read that pressing the volume up and power button on my device would wipe all cache, so I tried but still no luck :(

Any help would be greatly appreciated !!
