How do I get my Galaxy S4 to stop babying me?

For instance, when I'm listening to music and try to turn it up louder via the button on the headphones, it stops at a certain point, makes me take the phone out of my pocket, and makes me confirm that my ears might get damaged if I listen to it too loudly for too long. It also won't let me use the camera if the battery is less than five percent. I'm a grown man. If I want to listen to my music loud or use my last bit of battery to take a picture, I should darn well be able to. Can I disable the idiotic safety features without rooting?
