I like this phone after being rooted and killing all of the bloat ware. One issue is when connecting auxiliary line or headphones, I get a warning when I turn the volume up saying something like.. Listening above this level will damage hearing.. After I turn it up to listen to in my car via 3.5mm line out, it pauses the music and then lowers the volume back to 3/4ths. This is really annoying because I'm not even using headphones!!! Is there something running that I can stop with titanium backup? Samsung why would you do such a stupid thing?

Headphone jack causing volume decrease

Why do you need to turn it up past 12 in a car? Doesn't your car have a volume adjustment that you can take up higher? The phone is programmed to drop earphone volume to acceptable levels after a certain listening period. This is only to protect ears and avoid the lawsuits that Apple and others had over 'too high of listening volume for prolonged periods of time'.
The other statement that is funny is that your phone doesn't know if you are plugged into a car stereo, earphones or a loudspeaker system. It assumes since it is a headphone jack, that you are using headphones.
I know that doesn't help your issue at all, but leaving the volume at 12 and using your amp in the car's stereo will be your best bet. If the music you are listening to is too soft, try encoding it at a better bitrate like 192kbps or 320kbps for better sound.

In my case I like to listen to internet radio in my car as well as my music on my phone. The thing is if I don't turn my phone up all the way I have to crank the volume up so high that if I switch to radio or cd or usb without turning it down I'll blow out my speakers. I usually listen to radio at vol 18, usb volume 15 (unless i'm really wanting to shake my car that is). To comfortably hear my phone on max volume I have to turn it up to 22. If I leave the volume at the lower level set by the auto lowering the phone does when you turn it up all the way in headphone mode, I have to turn my volume on my stereo up to 28 (max is 35 or so). Also my stereo automatically defaults to USB when I turn my car on with a usb drive installed (which is almost always). On USB anything over 22 is painful.

There has been some talk about this in another thread on this forum. There seems to be no real solution but I did suggest a work-around (which I've not tried).
The work around would be plugging a blue tooth audio receiver into your car stereo and using blue tooth to connect the phone to it.
I'm pretty sure this would work around the volume issue.
However I'm poor these days (sigh) and not in the car much so it doesn't bother me much heh
Having said that the one I found on Amazon (link in the other tread, again on this forum) was not all that expensive. Again I'm too lazy now to look it up but I think it was only $35 or something like that.
Not bad if it works.
