Hearing Saver

I used this on my Galaxy Note 3 because Samsung's good intentions meant always having to reset my volume. Now I'm on a GalaxyJ7(2017) and the app comes up, but no changes can be made to the settings and it doesn't work. 3 stars since it worked for the last 4 years amazingly.

I have been looking for something to bypass the Samsung volume warning for years and this app finally did the trick! My only gripe is that the app automatically closes itself everytime I change a setting, meaning I have to open the app over and over if I want to change more than one setting. I would happily update my review to 5 stars if this can be fixed.

Installed the app. Set it up to the desired volume levels. Rebooted the phone. Plugged my headphones in and started playing some music. No warning of VOLUME TOO HIGH blah blah blah. And the volume was at the set level. So that worked good. But the second I touched the volume control to raise or lower the volume, that annoying pop up VOLUME TOO HIGH came up. So it didn't completely eliminate the annoying pop up, just kind of masked it temporarily.

I love this! It works wonderfully. I rarely use my headphone jack for headphones, instead I plug my phone into my car's radio. My hearing is not at risk by having my phone at full volume, but my phone insists on automatically turning down the volume and giving me a popup warning anyway. I could just turn up my car's volume to compensate without having to adjust my phone's, but then when I switch over to FM radio, I get the crap scared out of me and blasted with crazy loud radio because I have the car volume so high. Now THAT is dangerous to my hearing, and my stress levels. This app does it's job and saves me a big annoyance.

It's very difficult to set the ringer volume to the lowest audible setting. I'm on stock 4.2.1 and my system volumes have a slider where the lowest value is vibrate. In Hearing Saver, a large chunk of the lowest part of the slider is vibrate and it took a lot of trial and error to set the lowest volume that hasn't disabled the ringer. It would be great if all the way down was vibrate and anything slightly above it was audible -- or if the sliders were the same as the system ones (not sure if that's possible). Or it could be nice to just apply the "Save last volume" to all plugged. (So I can use the phone's media and ringtone volume control to set the plugged and unplugged volumes.) Aside from that, it's great to stop the deafening notification sounds when I use headphones. The "Save last pluggedvolume" feature is awesome.

I have tried, and failed to find any benefit at all from anything this thing "does." It actually *adds* to the steps necessary to get volume where you need it. Baffling.

After slightly hitting my headphones jack, whether in my pocket, bag or in hand, my music would just turn off - and an error message would read "media volume lowered to protect hearing" - but instead of being lowered, it would turn off my music completely. I Google the problem and found no solution. Luckily, I found this app 5 minutes ago, installed it and that problem was immediately solved. No more audio issues.

It used to work much better. Now it closes every time I try to change a setting. Difficult and annoying now.

This app was originally a lifesaver, as it was the only thing I could find that could get around the volume nag on my Galaxy S4. However, since switching to the S7, Hearing Saver no longer works for me -- even after an uninstall and reinstall. On plugging in headphones (or an aux cable), it ATTEMPTS to boost the volume to where I have it set, but runs into the volume nag that still has to be acknowledged before the volume will actually go to the level I specified. Sadly, this renders the app completely useless, and I have uninstalled it. Should this issue be fixed, I will reinstall and switch to a five-star rating. As it is, I'm looking for other options.

Fixed that annoying warning message on my Note 4!!

I keep my spare phone in my car connected to the sound system, but every so often the volume would automatically adjust to low with the message "Listening to music at high volume for extended periods of time will damage your hearing". I am loving this app as my volume stays at the level I want it at. Thank you so much for this app! Awesome!

Ever since I updated my OS to 5.1.1, Hearing Saver no longer does it's job as it's supposed to. I have to manually Enable it everyday or a few times a day in order to have it work. When I unplug the headphones jack and open a different app that needs volume, it goes back to neutral volume setting. This never happened before. Please fix!

App works fine sand gets rid of stupid volume Nanny, bit when I reboot my phone I need to enable it again. Please add a feature to run on reboot or keep running after reboot

My phone had a volume limiter for headphones, and listening to music was like listening to a quiet conversation. High priced headphones are useless when you can't go past 30% volume. This app solved it in one fell swoop.

This app has been installed on every phone I've had since it was decided that we can't make our own decisions regarding our listening volumes. It doesn't work on my att LG G4 or GS6 active though. I'd love to rate it 5 stars as soon as it works again.

I don't understand how this feature isn't already part of the Android system. It helps me enjoy my music without messing up my ears with notifications. I have noticed that recently, my phone freezes (sometimes crashing) when I plug in or pull out my headphones, and when I change the volume manually. I uninstalled this program for a while to test, and it seems like the one causing the problem. I still use it since it's a great program, but I wish that could be fixed.

Actually this app is amazing.. But like Facebook this app should work in backroom.. When I make ram clean,this app stops running in background.. Again need to enable.. So please developer needs to see..

Plugged into jack it showed full volume. Unplugged still full volume. Plugged back in 3/4 volume and stupid warning pops up.

It work perfect. Take all the sec you lose try to up the sound and cut the annoying messenger.

I found your app looking for a solution to the volume hijack on my Samsung tablet when I plug in my portable speaker for my sleep sounds and every so often thereafter. Been waking up poorly because it turns my sounds down so far I can't hear them over my fan. Bye bye nanny! Now if it were only possible to port this app to fix the same issue on Windows phone (even on bluetooth speakers). I would even pay for it. Hey phone OS makers, we don't all use headphones (I hate them) and we aren't all idiots. Stop playing nanny to save them from themselves and giving us half functional devices. At least if they make themselves deaf, we won't have to hear their stupidity. Win-win.

Works great on my Samsung Galaxy S6 - with the usual Android app Gotcha: Android kills the app after some time. So, the app is very useful if you use it all the time. It is close to useless, if you just use it once in a while: It needs to be restarted each time you want to use it, and that takes longer than pressing Android's warning button.

Works perfect on my Xperia up through android 5.02 then my phone exploded. New LG with 5.1.1 and app still works but only catches the first plugin. After that, volume drops like normal. Hoping for a fix.

I got tired of dealing with the volume nag screen on my Samsung Note 4 EVERY time I would turn up the volume. Hearing Saver quickly overrides this and now I can set my default volume and crank it up if needed without the nagging! Thanks!

Does a great job, unfortunately does not take care of the high volume warning dialog.

Uses Android built-in intents to adjust volume in a very ram-friendly way. Less than 3MB running process!

If I only knew this piece of Dimond existed any sooner my level of inner happiness the last couple of years would have increased by the millions.

I found this app referenced in Android Central and had to try it. My conundrum? I use the 1st gen Jawbone Up band which is simple but kind of a piece of crap. Anyway when you sync it uses the headphone jack, and Android is way too damned concerned with my hearing so the volume gets turned down. Once you plug in the band it's a button mashing race to get the volume up for the headphones. This app is beautiful in its function and simplicity. This Android "feature" is enough to make me drop Android. Thank you!

Works for BT audio and headphones, no more annoying Loud Volume warning messages on my rooted Note 4!

Overridden by OS. Doesn't work to set much music at my volume when "headset plugged in"

Tried this on my Verizon G4 and it works perfectly (another review said it doesn't on the Verizon model, so who knows). I haven't had to deal with the annoying nanny volume change in the week that I've been using this app. Great for people that plug into stereos and other systems with independent volume control and want to keep the phone at full volume when connected.

I don't know if anybody's noticed, but Android automatic volume adjusting is "bad word" annoying! So, when I connect to my car using the auxiliary cord, it is constantly lowering the volume back down, making the trip dangerous, as I try to increase the volume again, and again. This isn't perfect, but it does a lot to fix that.

Does a great job, unfortunately does not take care of the high volume warning dialog.

Great app works 100%, now media volume at 100% may thanks to developer hope it works when new lollipop 5 arrives for note 4.

Nothing more annoying than somebody giving me features then making them inconvenient to use. This program solved the mommy settings of volume reducing when plugging into the DAC output. Wonderfully happy my docking works without extra taping and sliding.

This app is amazing! I can no longer use Xposed because Samsung had to make a custom library for ART. This is a good non-root workaround for the annoying high volume nag! You're awesome!

2015, running lollipop on a note 4 and I cant believe this is not part of the OS! It feels stupid to have such an expensive phone running the latest OS version and I still have to fill it up with little apps to compensate the missing features that should already be standard. And I still wonder why 3Gb of RAM are still not enough for a phone these days to run smooth. Well because it's stuffed with tones of apps that should be standard by now.

Works for BT audio and headphones, no more annoying Loud Volume warning messages on my rooted Note 4!

Gave it a shot on my Note 4 but it doesn't appear to be working. I'm running 5.0.1.
