Volume+ and MusicFX - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello. first up im new here but as i have been waiting 3 days for my activation email i have been reading a lot on this forum. but there is one thing i cant seem to find an answer for.
basically like everyone else i have the low audio jack output problem. i dont have a rooted phone and all this talk of pushing files to adjust some core settings really means nothing to me (this is my first Android phone). really couldnt work out if the phone had to be rooted or not.
as i was looking for a solution i came across Volume+ (i believe the inventor is on here and might have found the hard code fix everyone else is using) bought it and gave it a try and can confirm its definitely louder. BUT when i went to Setting -> Sounds, a new option appeared called "sound Effects" or "Music Effects" which gives me option to select between the new Volume+ and MusicFX. literally as i got here pop up screen "MusicFX has crashed" etc etc
is this normal??
what is musicFX? is it actually needed?
do i have to be rooted to do this Hard Code option that most people are using?
any help is greatly appreciated.
cheers

Music FX is the incorporated Samsung sound thing .
Will Vol + and Music FX crash yes in my experience .
Few are using hard code few are using DSP manager and yes you need root .
I can give no advice on sound level as i don't have that problem playing MP3 at level 4 normally .

little update on this old thread. tried multiple times to get hold of the owner of Volume+. he has not answered any of my questions thus making this product not fit for purpose.
i have no way of getting a refund for a ****e app that doesnt work properly.
i have reported to Google so will see what they will do.

[Q] Suddenly no sound

As the title says im having problem with my mini pro. when it rings there is no ring tone but i can hear the orther person talking. so probably something happened to the speaker. i'm 100% sure that there is no settings matter.also i cant hear songs either. the phone hasnt beeb droped. please if someone knows anything help me...thank you
IT Crowd: Have you tried to turn it off and on again ?
This has happend to me, Have you used Zedge app or another rigntone downloader, they might give you problems with the downloaded mp3s, try using another ringtone., also check if the silent option is enabled
of course i reboot the phone. i also installed different ROM.the same thinks happen. I think all started when i installed handsend sms. but i dont think thats the cause
Well, i have handcent since months and no problems there, but sure it seems some app it´s interfering on the sound settings. Have you check if the song tones are in their proper location ?? Are they showing correctly on the phone sound picker when you try to change them ??
Yes. I can see the sounds and the mp3 but when i press Play i cant hear anything. the bad news is that i updated the ROM and there is no guarranty now.
Hey dude.. this is happen with me too.. I tried everything (reboot, install new rom and nothing)... so I opened the phone and took out the 4 screws, and hd a look at the contacts points of the speaker (p.s. I did not unplug anything) put together and ta-dah.. work again..
Try it if you have some experience or if not take for technical assistance

Can you send emails with your gmail app? I can't, and that is sofa king frustrating you can't even imagine. I have no idea what went wrong, but I've tried asking here, and I've done some extreme things to get it working again, but nothing seems to help short of restoring a nandroid from early September; but that only works for a few hours before is back to not sending again, AND I have to update a bunch of apps. Anyone have a solution? What exactly does gmail need to send??? I compose the email and click the send button, then the button goes grey and absolutely NOTHING else happens until I hit another button (except send, since its grey and no longer responsive).
Sent from my rough sketch of a Vibrant on a brick.
For your first problem. Search the development section and find the thread for miui lithium. In the first post of that thread is the apk for dsp manager. With dsp manager and voodoo sound (via voodoo control app) you can increase your phones speaker volume.

Oh goody. An all caps post about an easily Google-able problem. How rare!
For experts? More like for gerbils.
Perhaps it is for noobs but you don't answer my question! For me you are a noob too.

GS3 Increased volume via root and I want to get my camera shutter sound back

I really like how much my ringer volume has actually increased.
Just two qualms really;
I didn’t really want to get rid of the camera sound.
I also didn’t want to get rid of the touch sound (plays a sound when making a screen selection).
Can anyone help me get these two features back without actually removing the increased speaker volume?
I am new to Android so forgive me for being dumb.
I downloaded the 63_sound_mod_update.zip from the following website and installed it via ClockworkMod (CWM):

If anyone can help me out, I will be very grateful to you
Thank you in advance.

[Solved] How to disable the "beep" sound when changing Volume?

How do I disable the "beep" sounds when changing the volume using the volume rocker? My device is a rooted Dell Venue 8 3830. I tried to find the ogg file in system/media/audio/ui so I could delete it, but it wasn't there :crying: .
Solution in post #7 :victory:

It din't work. No touch sounds, but the beeps still persist. Thanks for the suggestion though.
NP I just searched like crazed man to no avail. Going to try a Trump card and see.
Edit: Nice mystery sound. OK going to go deeper.
Edit 2: It's not .ogg or .mp3 but I think it's somewhere in a file. Like in a jar¿ this is my new ocd issue. I'm going to sleep before I tear apart the whole ROM and break something.
Glad to know you're still looking into it. Right now I'm trying to figure out if messing with the values in the files below will help me. The last two seems to be related to the overall sound quality, volume, sample-rate conversion, routing and stuff like that. But I'm hopeful about the first one though.
/system/etc/parameter-framework/Settings/Audio/AudioConfigurableDomain.xml
/system/etc/asound.conf

Might be able to silence it from the top file. Just skimmed through it. Will look into it in the morning. Long day today and start class's tomorrow for at&t tier 1-2, so I'm getting my season binge finished tonight, the incredible hulk and smash squad! I'm still brushing up on my code but that first file will get a good look early afternoon tomorrow. Left my laptop plug at home today. Feel kind lame for doing that, lol. You're on the right track tho! It's getting annoying when I'm adjusting music volumes. Didn't know it did it there too.
Solution
Finally found an easy solution:
1. Install Xposed Framework, if you already haven't and then install the latest GravityBox[KK].
2. Open Gravity Box, go to "Media Tweaks".
3. Tick the option "Mute Volume Adjust Sound"
4. That's it. [No restart required]
I recently updated GravityBox[KK], and saw this option.
Thanks a lot devs of GravityBox. :highfive:

[Q] Changing default bluetooth button action/bluetooth not working correctly

ive use this site before for guides and such but i be leave this is the first time i have posted. So if ive placed this in the wrong place or am going about it the wrong way i apologize and i can change or move to another thread. I just bought me and me wife these new phones they were cheap and had good specs. It is the Blu Studio C 5.5 (android Version 5.0). Haven't really had any issues with the phones yet. Until now my wife does a lot of driving and likes her blue tooth headset so she can be safe and hands free. and ive never seen an issue like this on any phone. On every phone you push the head set button and it activates the voice commend on the the phone to call, search, statues, whatever. This phone will not do that. Double click will redial, and a single click will answer or hang up a call, but that's it. I can not get the voice command or google voice search to activate via the headset and have tried 3 different headsets with same resulted. Ive tried every app in the store and such, trying to do different things.Tthought maybe if i could change the voice commend to activate on a double click or something like that but none of the apps in the store do anything the commands i quoted earlier are the only things i can get the head set to do. Some thoughts or help would be much appreciated. i use to be an IT Tech and have experience with rooting/hackings several deceives/pc/consoles in my past but generally these days things do most of what i want them to, so i just leave them default. I Haven't looked into rooting the device yet its done everything ive needed up until now . If i need to root the device to get the headset to function corrects that's fine i can do that first and then come back to this. i was just hoping to get some feed back to see what everybody thoughts was.I have called google and Blu and they say to call the other person imagine that lol.

This is the only thing I can find about remapping bluetooth buttons. You can just download the apk if you don't want to pay
