Volume limits on the Note 4
Hello all,
I've always been bothered by the capped volume limits (health regulation, I know, please don't tell me that it's bad for me, not why I'm here), on the most recent smartphones.
When I'm in the street, I can barely hear my music in the headphones and when I'm at the gym I like to put it very loud. There used to be a mod that I used on my rooted S5 to boost the volume, but it does not work in the Note 4 (or maybe it has to do with Kitkat 4.4.4. I am assuming that the file containing the volume restriction has been moved in the system or the name has been changed, and the only way now is to make the necessary change in the system manually.
The good news is that my Note 4 is already rooted, so I can use a root explorer to locate the file (and the right line within the file) to change to volume limit value.
The bad news is that I have no idea where to locate that file in the phone!
I would be very grateful, and I am sure that it will help a lot of other people too, if someone could point out to us where that file is, and what change to make to unlock the headphone volume of my Note 4!
I thank you all in advance for your time and I hope to get an answer soon !
Cheers,
Steven
