Hearing Saver protects your ears when you connect headphones to your Android device
If you like to listen to loud music when you are using your Android phone or tablet, you may have noticed that the music stays on the level if you plug in headphones. This may be great if you do not mind listening to loud music while headphones are connected, but if you are like me, you probably like music to be not as loud in this scenario.
There is also the other way around. Whenever you connect your headphone to the device you notice that music is not playing loud enough, so that you need to amp it up by yourself, and down again when you disconnect the headphones.
Hearing Saver is a free application for all Android 2.0.1 and up devices that enables you to set a volume for when headphones are plugged in, and another for when they are not.
The application itself is pretty easy to use. All you need to do is start it up at least once after installation to set different volumes for when the headphone jack is plugged and unplugged.
You can use the slider to set the volume here. A slider position on the far left mutes the volume, while a slider position on the opposite end sets it to the loudest possible value.
The application supports Bluetooth devices as well that connect without cables to the Android device. It detects if you are using a Bluetooth headset or car audio, and will modify the volume level accordingly. The feature is enabled by default, if you do not use Bluetooth devices, disable it as it is not needed.
You can enable the ringer volume control here as well. This enables two additional volume settings for the ringer of your phone. It allows you to set two different ringer volumes, one for when a headset is connected to the device, and another when that is not the case.
If you check the save last unplugged volume preference, the bottom slider that sets the volume of the device when no headphone or Bluetooth device is connected is disabled. The application remembers the volume that was set before headphones were plugged in and will switch back to that volume when the headphones are removed again.
Verdict
Hearing Saver is a useful application for Android device owners who always change volume levels when they connect and disconnect headphones or Bluetooth devices. It saves you from doing so manually, so that you can enjoy audio playback that is set at the right volume level.
One interesting option that you can use the application for is to automatically mute the phone whenever headsets are not plugged in. I like to keep the phone to vibrate at all time when no headphones are connected as I do not want to be disturbed by it and also do not want to disturb anyone else in my vicinity. You can use the application for exactly that purpose.

Uhh, this has already been possible – I am not sure how but remember my brother telling me about it. I’m not a whatsapp user so not sure of the specifics, but something about sending the image as a file and somehow bypassing the default compression settings that are applied to inbound photos.
He has also used this to share movies to whatsapp groups, and files 1Gb+.
Like I said, I never used whatsapp, but I know 100% this isn’t a “brand new feature”, my brother literally showed me him doing it, like… 5 months ago?
Martin, what happened to those: 12 Comments (https://www.ghacks.net/chatgpt-gets-schooled-by-princeton-university/#comments). Is there a specific justifiable reason why they were deleted?
Hmm, it looks like the gHacks website database is faulty, and not populating threads with their relevant cosponsoring posts.
The page on ghacks this is on represents the best of why it has become so worthless, fill of click-bait junk that it’s about to be deleted from my ‘daily reads’.
It’s really like “Press Release as re-written by some d*ck for clicks…poorly.” And the subjects are laughable. Can’t wait for “How to search for files on Windows”.
> The page on ghacks this is on represents the best of why it has become so worthless, fill of click-bait junk…
Sadly, I have to agree.
Only Martin and Ashwin are worth subscribing to.
Especially Emre Çitak and Shaun are the worst ones.
If ghacks.net intended “Clickbait”, it would mark the end of Ghacks Technology News.
Ghacks doesn’t need crappy clickbaits. Clearly separate articles from newer authors (perhaps AIs and external sales person or external advertising man) as just “Advertisements”!
We, the subscribers of Ghacks, urge Martin to make a decision.
because nevermore wants to “monetize” on every aspect of human life…
“Threads” is like the Walmart of Social Media.
How hard can it be to clone a twitter version of that as well? They’re slow.
Yes, why not mention how large the HD files can be?
Why, not mention what version of WhatsApp is needed?
These omissions make the article feel so bare. If not complete.
Sorry posted on the wrong page.
such a long article for such a simple matter. Worthless article ! waste of time
I already do this by attaching them via the ‘Document’ option.
I don’t know what’s going on here at Ghacks but it’s obvious that something is broken, comments are being mixed whatever the article, I am unable to find some of my later posts neither. :S
Quoting the article,
“As users gain popularity, the value of their tokens may increase, allowing investors to reap rewards.”
Besides, beyond the thrill and privacy risks or not, the point is to know how you gain popularity, be it on social sites as everywhere in life. Is it by being authentic, by remaining faithful to ourselves or is it to have this particular skill which is to understand what a majority likes, just like politicians, those who’d deny to the maximum extent compatible with their ideological partnership, in order to grab as many of the voters they can?
I see the very concept of this Friend.tech as unhealthy, propagating what is already an increasing flaw : the quest for fame. I won’t be the only one to count himself out, definitely.
@John G. is right : my comment was posted on [https://www.ghacks.net/2023/08/23/what-is-friend-tech/] and it appears there but as well here at [https://www.ghacks.net/2023/07/08/how-to-follow-everyone-on-threads/]
This has been lasting for several days. Fix it or at least provide some explanations if you don’t mind.

Firefox did this long before Safari.
Basically they’ll do anything except fair royalties.
