I was wondering if anyone else had issues with their Bluetooth headset after the gingerbread upgrade? Before, on Froyo, I had independent settings for the volume on my headset and on my phone (by this I mean I could turn up the volume all the way on the phone, but still had the five or so presets on my headset); this would give me about 30 or so different volumes I could be at. Now, with Gingerbread, when I change the volume on the phone, it only changes the volume on my headset, so I'm down to only 5 different loudness settings. Sounds like something menial to complain about, but the lowest volume now is blaring, which makes listening to music at work impossible without disturbing others. Any fix that anyone knows of, or anyway around this? Thanks,
Jacob
Bluetooth on gingerbread is working fine for me.
all volume settings.
You might end up resorting to RE -flashing the system.img file for 2.3.4
it should fix it using fastboot
a easier way would be to use the new fruitcake to restore with CWM they work.
I have the Sony Ericsson HBH-IS800 which does not have volume control on it, so for devices without the bt volume thing, it plays at full blast even at the lowest volume on the phone.
I downloaded the Bluetooth Volume app and it seems to fix a lot of the volume problems, but its still finicky.
I *just* got this headset, so I don't know if this was a problem with 2.2 Froyo.
I us the S9-HD headset, and everything still works fine with all buttons/volume settings on GB.

The lowest media volume setting for Android is still ridiculously loud in my bluetooth headphones. (In fact, the volume is exactly the same no matter what it's set to.) Is there any way to have better control over it? I tried searching through duckduckgo, but I couldn't find anything. My phone is rooted, if that helps.

Hi,
I've been having consistent problems with volume, specifically being too low, and especially while connected to a bluetooth headset. I also noticed some odd, and likely related, behavior with the volume in general.
Here's how I see it: Start some music playing. Go to Menu > Settings > Sound > Volume and scrub the Media volume slider back and forth from 100% to 0% and back (and repeat).
On my Atrix, the max sound gets consistently lower each pass until it's silent, even at 100% setting. I think this is part of the issue with the media volume. As I adjust it up and down it loses some peak volume each time. I can bring it back up with a lot of tinkering (mostly through the OS volume controls and in PlayerPro), but I have not found the formula to deal with this in a normal way.
Has anyone else seen this, or can suggest a way to prevent or restore these volume anomalies? Running GB and rooted. Thanks!
I haven't seen this specific issue, but if you think the Atrix has volume problems, go try to use the Infuse without voodoo sound.
Are you saying I should try an Infuse ROM? I'm not sure what you're instructing me to do. Sorry for the extra clarification needed.
No, I'm just saying that your issues could be worse. The Infuse is another phone. Disregard my post if it confuses you.
I use PlayerPro also and have no issues over BT. I start my music playing, turn media volume up full via the volume up button, then control volume level after that with my headset.
I never go into the volume in settings, as it is greyed out for me. I am set on silent and vibrate always as I spend a lot of time in meetings.
My issue is not with PlayerPro or even BT (though it is more noticeable with it), the problem is that the audio gets progressively lower as I raise/lower the volume. PlayerPro does have some volume settings, which is why I mentioned it here.
I found an app called Volume+ that works fine with my rooted Atrix. It boosts the bluetooth audio. I still have the problems I listed above, but this one app may enough to get me over the hump.
I still would like to know what causes the strange volume behavior I'm experiencing above.
This problem has been talked about some time, but I'm not able to find a real solution:
I'm using CM9 with Siyah-kernel. When I use a wired headset, the in-call volume is extremly low. Even at max I cannot understand the other party when I'm outside.
Now, some solutions have been proposed:
* Use STweaks to boost headset volume. That works but also increases the music volume. If I boost it enough so that in-call volume is good, music volume gets hard to control.
* Use the service menu. On my phone I cannot access the audio menu. As I understand, I could flash a different modem (e.g. XXKI3). Can anyone tell me where to download it? All links I found were dead. And anyhow, as I understand these settings are reset on boot. So it's not really a permanent solution.
Is there anything else someone could think of?
I'd really appreciate any ideas.
Best regards
Ole
Please go easy on me if this has been asked before or it is in the wrong section.
Basically the xperia t seems to have a bug with Bluetooth volume, this has been put to Sony many times but they are not interested.
The situation is that I can connect my Bluetooth headphones and Bluetooth car connect, all the volumes are already set to max, I press the volume up button and this will confirm the volume for Bluetooth is also at max, however the volume is sill only really about half.
However if I go to settings, sound, volumes I can see they are all set to max, however if I touch the ringer volume to max it will play my ringtone, beating in mind it was already at max I was just redoing the max. However after doing that the volume is doubled, much more like the level I would expect.
This seems like a glitch to me?
What I want to know or would really appreciate help with is, if I root my phone can I apply some sort of mood or custom Rom or something that could fix this issue for me.
Other than this and the WiFi dropping out which I can live with, I love the firmware, but I know no better really.
I am happy to root my phone and even install a custom Rom if that's the best solution and it will fix the issue, but I would also be happy keeping the Sony firmware as I like it, just can't live with ridiculously low volume in the car, and don't want to have to spend time fiddling about to correct the volume issue every time before I can set off.
Please go easy on me if I have done wrong, I would just really appreciate any help our advice anyone can give me. Thank you
I use my phone to connect to my cars bluetooth. I've had since the phone since July and it sounded really good up until about three days ago. For some reason the audio lowered and doesn't sound as crisp as it used to. I know it is not the car stereo because my other devices still play perfectly. I have to turn my radio up to the point where the music will sound distorted.
Example = s4 on bluetooth turned to 25 - sounds great
s4 on bluetooth now turned to 25 - can barely hear it.
Is there a setting or even an equalizer that I can use to maybe fix this issue? Also is there any setting in the phone ( running stock ) that I might've pressed that decreased my volume?
Look into a custom rom, I know Hyperdrive has a volume hack slight/loud which works for me. Hopefully someone has an easier way to accomplish this.
Unfortunately I can't root this phone because it was given to me for work purposes.
Sometimes I have this problem, idk how busy you are, but hangouts will sometimes lower volume for me to make a notification sound and forget to put it back, try making your phone give you a notification sound and see if puts it back
