Google Navigation Volume

[ellisz]

So if we don't use the audible selection, is this a good fix? Any other side effects?

 

[prakash99]

I did not have the clicking problem but then I realized one of the first things I did when I got the phone was turn off the audible selection. (i also have the haptic feedback and key tones turned off, as those things annoyed me from the beginning.) So, yes, I have step 7 at 100 and have no problem. So apparently keeping the audible selection option unchecked kept the clicking problem away.

Has anyone figured out how to keep the navigation volume fix listed in here stuck on DJ05? It sticks for DI01 just fine but not DJ05.

I just upgraded to DJ05 a few days ago, and I've noticed that the hidden menu doesn't seem to allow you to save changes anymore. The "save" button doesn't work anymore and when you back out, the changes are not saved.

Also, with DJ05 I've noticed with Pandora playing on through the aux on my car radio there is some noticeable "clicks" from time to time. I'm unsure if this is what is referred to by other people in this thread, but audible selections is disabled on my phone.

Nooooo! Please say it isn't so. So the volume is still too low and they've locked is out so we can't increase it?

I found an easy fix for those of you who can't use hidden menus...
1. Start pandora and play a radio station
2. Use the volume keys to turn media volume to 50%.
3. Open google navigation and make sure navigation volume is at 100%.
4. Now use your car radio volume knob to adjust volume to your liking.

Your navigation volume will now be about the same as the music volume.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for posting! I'll give this a try on my way home from work today.

This will work until you get a text or email and the volume blows up your speakers! I've read that a different kernel might help.

I've Been doing this fix almost everyday, and the notifications actually don't play over my car speakers. Instead, it plays over the phone speakers...

That's good to hear. I just went back to di01. Didn't really see anything with dj05 that I couldn't live without. My GPS is getting locks in a reasonable time. I would just rather not have to worry about my volumes. Hopefully when we get froyo the audio tuning app will save the settings. Out of curiosity... Anyone out there try copying the audio tuning app from di01 over to dj05 and seeing if that allowed the changes to be saved? Might be something interesting to try.

EDIT: Added audio tuning app from my Fascinate running di01 if anyone feels frisky and wants to give it a shot.

The reason your changes in the audio tuning menus wont save on DJ05 is because you are running a custom kernel. I don't know why, but a lot of the dev made kernels won't allow you to save things in your audio tuning menus. Flash back to the stock kernel, change your audio settings and save them. Then flash back to what ever 3rd party kernel you were running. DJ05 isn't the problem your kernel is.

prior to flashing the new rom, I had made changes to the settings. after installing dj05, those settings have reset to default.

Thats because the new ROM contained the stock audio settings. Most, but not all 3rd party kernels won't allow you to save the changes made in audio tuning. So every time you flash a new ROM, you will need to change the audio tuning settings to make navigation louder again. With that being said, you will have to have a kernel that will allow the changes to be saved, the stock kernel is what I use but I know the the 11/22-11/24 test non-voodoo kernels will allow you to save audio settings as well. So if you have voodoo or if you use a stupidfast kernel you've got a choice of kernel that will work to save audio settings without too much work.

 

[snrsuave]

Yes! This works! Installed dj05, then flashed a di01 kernel (I used stupid fast 1.23), made my audio changes, then flashed a dj05 kernel back (stupid fast 1.54) and the settings stuck! Thank you for finding this solution!

Boy, I wish there was a simpler way for us less daring un-rooted folks.

You don't have to be rooted to make these changes.

I made the hidden menu audio changes, but I ended up changing them back. With the settings changed, I got terrible distortion and feedback when I was on calls through the handset.

Plus, the settings did nothing to fix my problem -- I'm not getting enough volume from Nav and a few other programs when I'm on the car BT adapter. Phone calls and VZNav work fine, but not Google.

I have also done this and it really does work!

 

[Cory Streater]

Good news. This is definitely fixed in the Froyo DL30 build I installed this morning. No hacks or mods required. It's super loud now.

 

[Chris Kerrigan]

I can confirm this as well. It actually startled me at first because of how loud it was!
