I haven't experienced any problems like that. I only use the stock Walkman, Spotify and YouTube though.

It's 82 as i remember... It should not make ur phone hot,coz it's boosting only headphone.. Nothing else.. See if any app is running background...
And for ur info.. i listen music when i am on journey.. After boosting, i've listened music for 1 and half hours continuously.. It was fully normal..

wow, theres really a difference. im playing with all the settings and making my own ones, just great

now it reminded me, the thing that i said about the heat was instagram.
the mod is so awesome and increases only headphones volume. my pistons v2 sound sooo goood now

Can you tell what is top limit of those variables ?
< <ctl name="HPHL Volume" value="20" />
< <ctl name="HPHR Volume" value="20" />
Just curious. I presume recommended are 20, as set.

I was wondering, do i have to flash this through a recovery,or can i just copy the mixer.xml file to /system/etc/ and overwrite the old one? I have rooted my phone,but have no idea how to flash anything on this z1c
Thank you

will this work for xperia z ??

There are a lot for Nokia and Iphone but don't know if they are compatible.
Anyone got any idea?
thx!
to my knowledge, i think you're out of luck. but i know there are some apps that can work like headset controls. eg. im using an earphone that's made for iOS, although i can't use the volume up and volume down button, i can customise the middle button using the headset control app. All the best!
cheers mate!

i use that thing with some quality in ear phones from shure Works perfectly.
I use PlayerPro for music. So 1 click is play/pause music or take/end call. 2 clicks is next song, 3 clicks is last song. For volume i can use the hard buttons on the dhd And of course it has a microphone so you can use it as a headset. Oh and its quite affordable!

Thanks clouds5. I saw that too but was not sure if it was able to skip music tracks.
I will buy one and see if works on CM7 rom as well. btw I also have a Shure 530 and it is indeed fantastic.
Thanks you again!!!
For those of you who are interested in audio ectension cable with remote control and mic. I've found a good product.

the included earphone is very good, much to my surprice and for £3.34 I think it is a bargain. you press once to pause and play, press twice to fast forward three times to backforward.
Forgot to mention I am using CM7 rom and with Poweramp player. I've not check if it works with sense.

no offense but it's hard to believe that it's a good quality product for that price and i'm not talking about the earphones just the control !
of course you don't have to believe me. It was just my opinion and the cable did work brilliantly for me, it serves the purpose- take calls,pause,fast and back forwards etc. As for the extra earphone , of course it was no match compares to the Shure 530, but it's fantasic considering it is free. Shure 530 it's about £350 pounds, will you believe now that I think it's good? Or you still don't think it is expensive enough to be of good quality? Don't judge a product by it's price.

Make volume rocker control media volume only?

Hey guys!
My phone is ALWAYS silent, so there is no need to change ringer volume.
Is it possible to change the volume rocker, that its changing media volume by default instead of changing ringer volume?
Please do not come up with widgets or something like that or audio control apps. Most of them are buggy, ****ty or just don't do what I want.
I want to change how my volume rocker behaves. No alternatives!
Thanks in advance

I'm in the same situation. I NEVER have my ringer off silent and really wish the volume rocker always only controlled the media volume.
If anyone has any ideas on how to get that to work without a widget gimmick please let us know.
I have an Evo 4g with cyanogenmod.
Thanks.
One could maybe try to create a service app, running in background, overriding the volume rocker input or always set the stream to media.
However I'm not an Android developer..
Here is a link that could help: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4178989/change-media-volume-in-android

C'mon, no dev here? I guess it's just 10 lines of code.
Service
AlarmManager
If audio stream isn't AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC set it to it.
I'm not an android developer, I'm acquainted with Java, but never tried Android development so my theory might be wrong.
I'm also interested in this for the S3.
Bump!?
Bump again, I would like this!
lol.. i don think i need it.. but it good if ppl can make this happen
A must have
I too wish I could set the volume rocker to control media volume only. I'm on a Galaxy Tab 10.1 with 3G running Cyanogenmod 10.1. Although I've never used the 3G, I use the tablet constantly for multimedia and WiFi. It's pointless for me to use the volume rocker for anything other than media volume.
So, is there no way to have the volume rocker switch set exclusively to modify the media volume even if no media is currently playing? This seems like such a simple thing. Mind you though, I'm not a developer.
Is there seriously no app for this or anything? Jesus.
Have any of you guys/girls tried Speaker Boost??? Works on system volume but if you keep your phone on silent it stills boosts the media volume etc...and fyi its not a widget....

This may be a really late response, but I've found out how to do it on CM11. Go to Settings > Sound > Volumes. If you look at the image below, you want to untick the box that says "Volume buttons control ringtone volume" and that should do the trick. Could be different on other ROMs.

presents Beats Audio ROM For Huawei Ascend Y201 Pro U866E
For More info and really cool stuff by me head over to my website and subscribe to my YouTube channel here.
*To make your headphones louder (because this phone has woeful volume) download this app, it will give awesome volume with no distrotion
*Please disable Google Play Music from updating to avoid loosing your Beats Audio player
"Music is a drug, it's addicting and without it you'd be lost. With this ROM you can unleash the music drugo within you"!

Sorry, no video made.
If you need help hit me up with a PM or submit in this thread i will reply a.s.a.p,
Description:
Their is more than 7 Billion People in this world, and all of them listen to music in some way or form. If it's rock to hip-hop from electric to throat singing, from POP to talk back radio it's all a type of music. However when we listen to music, our phones are like a low-end music player. They are getting better but honestly companies do not really focus on music playback. Music on our phones sounds low quality compared to PC's dedicated sound card. So I have developed a Beats Audio Rom for our Y201. You can finally listen to clear, accurate music. Plus if that was not enough with this rom you get other tweaks that will blow you away, like pure performances, pure graphics, performance tweaks, bravia engine, and other cool mods. What are you waiting for? Unleash that beast of a Y201!
Please note this will void your warranty, i suggest at least 20% of charge or more to install and I am not responsible if this turns out to:
> Get you fired because your alarm did not go off
> Your phone blowing up, then burning down your house thus you get accused for arson
> Bricked sd card
> Bricked device
> Phone getting hard bricked in the case, that your parents making you work all your life to make it up to them (... not looking at me :highfive
ROM Features:

HI-RES AUDIO on Z3 via USB has vanished

So it seems Sony removed Hi-Res Audio from the Z3 when they changed Walkman to "music".
I have been using the XBA-Z5 earphones and MDR-Z7 headphones through the
PHA-3 Sony amp with Xperia Z3
and the sound with this set up, while not really mobile,
is beyond incredible.
BUT after lollipop the option to use the PHA-3 amp for hi res audio
through UBS is missing.
Here is the old settings page on z3...( sorry Japanese )
and the new one

Yup not there for some time now.
Sony is promoting their new HiRES player. So they removed it on Z3. They always do that. It's called marketing.

The option still exists in the latest "Music" app for Kit Kat. The reason why you don't see it in Lollipop is because Lollipop supports sound over usb natively. Kit Kat did not. It was a custom option that Sony added to our phone.
"Android now includes support for standard USB audio peripherals, allowing users to connect USB headsets, speakers, microphones, or other high performance digital peripherals. Android 5.0 also adds support for Opus audio codecs."
https://developer.android.com/about/versions/lollipop.html
Sorry if I bump an old thread but does the USB amplifier works natively like the previous poster said or they removed the functionality? I was thinking about buying one but I'm worried it might not work properly now that the option has vanished.
I would say the above reply is correct, this was simply blended into 5.0 and you no longer need to check the USB box,
it is automatic.
Still, I was inspired to buy a ZX2 walkman in fear we were losing the hi res audio and sadly now no going back, wow.
Now I get why the phone app was changed to "music".
Still, I'd say above issue and this thread issue has been resolved.
Hi Res Audio is still a part of Z3 ( though I noticed they dropped the Hi Res Audio logo when promoting the Z4 in Japan ?? )

Kind of off-topic but how is that ZX2? Worth the investment?
In my opinion absolutely without question, the sound when used with the correct headphones and amplifiers, and even without the amplifier, is beyond belief incredible. So I would say a very strong absolute yes.
I grabbed the xbaz5- in ears by Sony for when carrying this thing around outdoors, and that too is an incredible experience and also well worth what many are are going to be a ridiculous monetary investment.
While I'm perfectly content with my Z3 and ATH-IM03's, I can only wonder and dream what nearly $2k of portable sound equipment provides to the ears.
I imagine it's something like being cradled by a choir of singing angels in a cloud chapel.
Thanks for the information. I just removed the Music update and gone back to Walkman. Now i´m able to use my DAC again.
