Notification volumes used to be very loud on .69. Now I can barely hear it. I've noticed that if you adjust the volume for the media and test a ringtone, it's pretty loud. Does that have to do with anything? I've already factory reset my device, and yet still the same thing. I updated from .69 via Sony PC Companion.

I have the same issue, seems the notifcation sound is not linked to the media volume and not to the ringtone¬ification volume (yeah, seems to be a bug if you ask me).
Try increasing the media volume and you should hear the notifications just fine.

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.

I've had an xperia for about a week now and overall I'm impressed. There's one problem though- in the past couple of days it hasn't been playing the ringtone, only vibrating. Please help, it's driving me nuts and I'm missing a load of calls. The volume is turned right up, it's a stock ringtone and I can still hear nothing.

I just updated to lollipop today and one of the things that hit me the most was the volume output of the speakers. prior to lollipop, the volume is really loud (except for notifications). but now, the volume output of the speaker is really low. It almost starts at halfway up. and halfway down you can barely hear anything. Am I the only one facing this problem or is it a general firmware bug?
another question, If i choose to factory reset, will I be able to automatically restore everything after resetting the phone? I dont want to lose my contacts, music arts and all.. thanks!
i also noticed this after updating to lollipop. i hope someone can answer this question.

@chochic10, You might also want to check out this http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/development/z2-t3092146
So I updated my Mate 10 L29 C636 to 139 version. When my media volume is at 100%, media sound is not that loud. It is way quieter than how I remember it on previous builds.
I had to resort to a volume booster app.
Anyone else with the same problem?
Anyone? I need to know if the latest rom did this or I have faulty speakers. I am in the process of backing up to Hisuite and hard reseting. A long and tedious process. Sound is just unbearably low whether it is media on speaker phone in a call.
Okay, So if you have noticed in either Stock or one of the Many Great custom Roms that your Sony Bluetooth Headphones aren't very loud, or as loud as they are when connected to another audio source (PC, Xbox, PlayStation, Smart TV) Then I have a simple fix for you. I literally felt like a dumbf*ck when I figured this out.
There is a separate volume slider in Sony's headphone app, it is supposed to move separately from the phones volume slider. If you don't see that this is the case then you must go into Developer settings and Disable Absolute Volume Control then reboot your phone now you should see the volume sliders move separately, the one in Sony's Headphone app will control the Headphones Volume while your phones Volume slider will control the Output being sent to your headphones.
This should work for any Bluetooth headphones that use Sony's headphone app, I'm currently using Sony WF-1000XM4's with my Sony Xperia 1 Mark 3.
Mind you this should technically work for any Bluetooth Headphones with either Software or Physical Volume control.
Old news.

To you perhaps but not to all, the reason i got these specific bluetooth headphones was because Best Buy gave me a deal since someone returned them because "they weren't loud enough".
Thank you so much,
I was having problems with this!

You're welcome, and same lol
I noticed after last updates to headphones app sony broke the volume. Well they broke the headphones in general. For me it is not only not as loud as in past, I have also a problem with noise cancelling that is turning off by itself! In the app there is some automatic control, but I do not want any automation, how can I disable it??? XM4 became useless for me with the latest update to sony's crapware app :/
Also, I have volume control on the right headphone. But many times it is not working, do not increase or decrease the volume. I must either reconnect the headphones and turn off/on bluetooth or restart the phone to make it work again. This headphones app is so horrible! Not to mention it does not support my native language... There are probably 300 words max to translate but it's too much $ for greedy sorry to translate it...
