really should listen to this. I want to have normal hearing when I’m older.
I agree with the concern you’re raising, but most of the time I ran into it, I was using bluetooth to a radio that had its own volume control. The phone was just reacting to the volume setting, not listening and knowing it was too loud.
I haven’t seen that happen in a long time, though. I saw elsewhere in the thread there was a way to disable it, so I might have done that, but I don’t recall seeing it at all on the newer Samsung S24 I got early this year.
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.
What are you using that does that? That’s annoying af.
It started recently on YouTube revanced. The only reason I’m still on YouTube at all is my 1500+ song playlist I’ve been curating for, i dunno, 14 years? Revanced and ublock kept me from hearing or seeing an ad for years, but this is really motivating me to just say fuck it and move on.
Oof, damn that’s painful to leave behind. The downfall of yt to a completely unusable platform has been awful. Newpipe might let you play without the reminders on mobile if you are interested in trying another app before you make tye leap to a new platform. I’d bet there is a tool on github that will export your playlists too. Sorry, not trying to fix everything I promise. A 14 year active playlist is an impressive thing though and I’d hate to see that lost.
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
Shit even with headphones, I don’t need this crap because I ain’t using some POS headphones without their own volume control.
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
- Audio & Sound --> Disable Safe Audio Warning --> Disabled
- Persist Options --> Checkbox Disable Safe Audio Warning
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
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.
Nobody is saying nothing, so everybody is saying something, or at least that’s what is sounds like with tinnitus.
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.
Fuck my hearing. What about my liver?
The liver is evil and must be punished.
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.
I’ve discovered that my phone does this once every time it gets rebooted and then doesn’t bug me about it again until its next power cycle.
Me, listening to nothing but metal and hardcore for the past 12 years: Fuck off, phone!
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.
These warnings gets so annoying on iOS too. It’s as if Apple doesn’t understand that AUX and high impedance headphones are a thing and need to be put in max volume to even be audible. At least there’s a way to disable it in Settings
If you have high impedance headphones and you’re not using a headphone preamp you’re not getting everything you paid for out of those cans.
