LowSoundFixer is an app for fixing a low-sound bug of JellyBean (4.1.2, 4.2.2 and 4.3) and KitKat (4.4.2) ROMs for HD2, Desire, NexusOne and any similar QSD8250 legacy devices.

Download: LowSoundFixer_v1.0.8.apk

Features:

• Detect the following events, play Silence.ogg to fix the low-sound bug (e.g., low notification sound), and kill the app itself to save memory.
  
  • end the phone call (added since v1.0)
  • unplug a headphone (added since v1.0)
  • disconnect Bluetooth headset (added since v1.0.1 and removed since v1.0.7)
  • disconnect Bluetooth SCO audio (added since v1.0.2 and removed since v1.0.7)
  • detect a missed call (added since v1.0.2)
  • connect Bluetooth headset (added since v1.0.4 and removed since v1.0.7)
  • connect Bluetooth SCO audio (added since v1.0.4 and removed since v1.0.7)
  • connect Bluetooth A2DP (added since v1.0.7)
  • disconnect Bluetooth A2DP (added since v1.0.7)

Known issue:

• Connecting to a Bluetooth device may cause the low-sound bug and this app CANNOT fix it yet.
  (The workaround is to make a call after disconnecting from Bluetooth.)

  • Add MainActivity so you can run it as a background service after installation.
    (After reboot, the app will run as a background service automatically.)

    (This sound is more quiet.)

Do you want me to (re-)post this on XDA?

maybe tytung doesnt want to post on xda anymore

I have updated my signature and changlog of LowSoundFixer on XDA to redirect to this page.
So XDA users may see this webpage some day.

I noticed, thanks. I see you also posted v2.4 info there.
It should get a little attention (at least from those who actually read).

Guys, I have tried LowSoundFixer V1.0.7 and unfortunately, like all of the other versions, I still have low sound issues after using my car's bluetooth. I posted similar on XDA but got no responses from others so given that Tytung has now left XDA (their loss!), I thought that I would post here in the hope that a definitive fix can be found.

I don't use BT the same way in the car (I use Tasker to disable ringer while connected to BT) so I cannot say for sure but I still experience occasional low volume of a notification sound. No idea what triggers it and 99+% time it seems to correct itself after some time. You got me.

Don't be put off by this. It is easily fixed by making a call after disconnecting from bluetooth. Tytung's ROMs are the best and the latest JB has even more features that you'll like. Go ahead and flash - you won't regret it.
