Hello and welcome to the Grok Shop! for those who might know I've had a previous
video regarding how to limit the volume limiter initially called disable the
volume limiter and Android phones and while that solution was effective for a
while eventually I found it to be either totally ineffective or somewhat
ineffective that solution involved using the music app that's built into a lot of
Samsung phones and the problem could be that there were some updates that
overrode it or it could have just been a problem all along and I got lucky but
anyway this is a new solution that seems to be more effective and I've been using
this for a few months now so I definitely wholeheartedly recommend
those you who are frustrated by this volume limiting pop up to give this a go
the solution that I'm using here is a macro app and the particular app that
I'm using is macro droid but there's there's a lot of macro app so not
necessarily endorsing this one macro app but the idea behind macros is it's task
automation so you may have seen macros before on your PC's or MacBooks same
concept for your phone so you'll have a trigger and when a trigger happens
you'll be able to set different actions and you define what kind of triggers and
what kind of actions that you want and usually like these out so that you do a
few microbes before get into having to pay for the app I think there's still
advertisements and these little C ads pop up in this but whatever it's only
when you're configuring it that you have to worry about that so for example here
you can see I have Bluetooth connect for my trigger volume change from an action
and none for the condition and this is what I've been running for
quite a while here I'm just going to go ahead and delete this and show how to
set this back up and then setup some additional macros as well
to delete a macro in this app you just select the macro and you get into the
macro page and hit the little trashcan at the top right okay now I seem
everybody pretty much knows how to download the app from the Google Play
Store once you have the app downloaded fire it up
and create your first macro by clicking on the add micro plus sign so the first
thing you do is select your trigger I think for most people Bluetooth connect
is how they listen to their audio and I certainly do but I also use the 1/8 inch
Jack sometimes we'll start with the Bluetooth option and then I want to
trigger when the device is connected so now the question becomes connected to
what alright so you can specify exactly which devices you want this volume
setting 100% which is what we're going to set it to to apply or you can just
say you know do it for any device which is what I do
okay so as I mentioned I also use the 1/8 inch Jack and one of my old cars
does not have bluetooth so I use the little cable and so I need to select its
headset connect headphone insert/remove so obviously you want to be careful with
setting max volume on this if you're actually using headphones you might want
to set it to something less than a hundred percent
okay so now at the very top of the list it pins the triggers so you can see here
I got my two triggers Bluetooth connect and headphones inserted so as you can
see there's literal plethora of trigger options and it's easy to see how this
could get addicting automating different tasks now I'm going to add device boot
and this is something that I probably will turn off because I don't always
want my media at 100% and besides I'm not doing it butyou might want to have
triggers to turn it down sometimes but that's just how frustrated I am with
this problem okay so next here in the middle at the top click on your actions
and then this is where you basically do stuff okay based on the triggers that
you just set up you want to do what well what we want is when we connect
bluetooth or the headset or boot in this case I want to change the volume to 100%
so tap the volume change option so the main volume at issue will be the media /
music 1 and right here is where you can force it to be whatever percentage you
want when you make that connection for me I want it 100% because I can control
my volume with my karst area of not I don't need to to volume controls and
like I said in the comments I certainly don't need to be fiddling with my phone
trying to figure out why I can't hear my music unplug my device and suddenly the
radio super loud because I had to turn it up so loud from because my phone was
turned out I don't know what I'm saying so be aware
that you can set volumes for other stuff like your Bluetooth voice voice call
volume you know you want you may want to limit those as opposed to the media
volume but be aware if you have a regular headset and you're listening to
media that media volume could blast you okay so that's pretty much it the third
rail here is constraints and basically that limits when your actions take place
if for example you didn't want to turn your volume up when the battery was low
you could constrain it to where your battery has to be over a certain level
you can constrain based on location and all kinds of good stuff it's it's pretty
neat
all right when you're done you can just click the checkmark at the bottom down
there and then you'll get a chance to give a name to your macro maybe
something creative like no mo nanny the more nannies on nanny
okay we'll go with that
okay now this is great here you get a chance to see add pop up so this is kind
of thing you can expect just when you're configuring after it's configured and
set up no no ads of course so now back up at the main menu you'll see the one
next to macros there you can just tap on that little square and you'll see you'll
see your macros configure like I had shown earlier you can tap your macro and
reconfigure it ever how you want okay I'm actually going to go ahead and
create another macro and break out the boot into a separate trigger so that on
boot I can moderate my volumes and set them accordingly
and then maybe later probably not right now but maybe later I'll make another
macro - to reduce the media volume when the Bluetooth is disconnected because
otherwise sometimes you know you'll be in a quiet room and you got to watch
your video and it's super loud and that's not too cool so that's something
else I'll probably do later but I think you guys get the gist of it let me know
what you think and takes alot for watching hopefully once and for all this
gets the annoying pop-up problem with the volume limiter resolved you guys all
right good luck take it easy
you
ah
