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.

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...

It's not a bug. That's just how it is with the X10.
Ok.. thank you very much...

Been using the X10 with the MW600 for 3 months now.
You can:
-be synched to your laptop and when you receive a call, the phone will take over.
-listen to radio and answer calls.
-See the phone number of whomever is calling you.
-double press the talk button to redial last outgoing contact.
-Use the play, rewind and forward buttons to control mediascape.
You can't:
-See the name of the contact even if it is saved in your phonebook.
-See the name of the track.
The two can'ts are what stands the mw600 out, but I honestly do not regret getting it as for it has decent audio transmission. Plus, there is a chance of this all being fixed after update by SE

no problem.
I use a mac, so I don't know if this will hold true for you as well. When I use the MW600 as a "headset" the audio quality diminishes, but when I use it as "stereo headphones", the audio quality is great.
Its all in the profiles...

This is essentially true for all bluetooth capable PCs as well. In bluetooth terminology the term "headset" and "headphones" refer to what is called as bluetooth profiles. More info here:
https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Bluetooth_profile
The "headphones" or the Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) is designed to provide high quality audio (stereo or mono) transmission capabilities between two bluetooth capable devices. Hence, the difference that you notice.

Just a quick dumb question: Can I use the X10's charger to charge the MW600? I am going on a trip soon and just want to carry one charger. Thanks.

Yes, you can use either or.
MW600 also works fine with spotify. Recommend the AKG K 450 headset with the short cable
With android 2.1 the x10 will be able to show track names and caller names as it doesn't lack the blutooth profiles which android 1.6 doesn't have.

Sent from my X10i using XDA App
afaik, there is no specific profile for displaying music track names, but caller ID work off the phonebook access profile (PBAP). so i'm guessing music track titles work off the phone's pbap as well?
I've just got mine, the quality is really good.
Additional bad points for me:
Mediscape: I can use the play/pause & skip tracks on the video, but doesn't work on the music !?
No "hold" on the buttons, as I keep accidentally touching the volume controls as volume control is touch sensitive
I haven't tried the voice activated calling though...

Weird.. it worked for the music for me.
for the touch sensitive volume button, you should hold it, not swipe it if you want to use the pause/play/next/prev buttons. it shouldn't that hard.
Mine definitely doesn't work with the music (in Mediascape), only with the video...
When I press on any of the 3 buttons:
PREVIOUS KEY / PLAY-PAUSE KEY / NEXT KEY
the light either side of middle button of the x10 lights up, but that's it.
I'm on standard R2BA020 (yeah, I tried switching it off and on again = didn't fix it!)
- also tried SEUS, it said no update for me - followed instructions (including taking the battery out etc)
I've only got one other music app = tuneWiki = the buttons work on that.
So, for me, Must be something wrong with Mediascape's Music program
== Quick Update ==
I've just rooted my x10i / debranded it, and managed further update the firmware (via SEUS) to R2BA026
= Still no joy on the playback controls for Mediascape's Music.
I've resetted the Headset
= Still no joy on the playback controls for Mediascape's Music.
Hope the next major update will fix this for me...
Instead of using the headphones can you activate the speaker phone to listen to the radio?
i just got my mw600 today. I havent used it for the gf's x10 yet (im in charge of the phone, she's just the end user) but it works fine on my k790a. It displays the name of the caller, the song titles and all the buttons work as suggested.
Im curious as to why this old ass phone from 2006 is capable of doing all this while the flagship x10 cant....
hi whenever im listening to spotify i can stop and play with no problems with my headphone button. the skip next track by double clicking works as well but its calling my last called number at the same time. does anybody here know how to disable the call feature on it? i tried it on a couple of friends one x's one worked fine the other called at the same time as well.
anybody?

Wish we can find a fix for this. Also seems the volume buttons on a stereo headset do nothing!!! So as of right now if you want to change tracks or adjust volume while using and Bluetooth or wired stereo headset which has all the buttons on it, you have to pull this device out of your pocket and do it all manually on the device. Which makes my $150 headset useless as of right now. Anyone finding or developing a fix for this?

Not really true: My Sony MW1 BT headset works perfect... I would say the same about all headsets with dedicated buttons. Tried the urBeats for HTC at a store, works without any problems. But you don't have volume control on this one...
Im using the beats Tours and the volume doenst work neither does play/pause, or skip, and i cant use the play/pause/skip button to answer and end calls like i could on my iphone. you would think a phone branded with beats would fully work with beats headphones... update soon hopefully? for this and for sense 4.1 and android 4.2, i cant see why HTC wouldnt want to keep their flagship up to date with the most recent android as long as possible... tho the original HOX is just now getting the 4.1 update while 4.2 is already out for nexus devices

Bro, 4.2 has been out for what, 48hrs? Lol, hold your horses for our update and from the few using it they say its buggy and not as stable or good as JB 4.1. No rush here for a buggy OS.
I think it might be a Sense problem with the headset controls. Weird the other poster said it worked for him and his headset, must have a magical headset? I have these earbuds, http://www.bose.com/controller?url=..._ear_headphones/index.jsp&model=mie2i_headset and only control that works is to pause and play the track, that's it. They have this version of the same earbuds, http://www.bose.com/controller?url=...n_ear_headphones/index.jsp&model=mie2_headset specifically for Android devices so maybe this is why it doesn't fully work for me? Still doesn't seem very likely. Going to get the new Jaybird's for Xmass and they are fully compatible with Android so will find out then if the problem still arises, http://www.bestbuy.com/site/JayBird...p?id=1218813784721&skuId=6917118#tab=overview
Anyone know a way to define the output for the volume levels? Basically when you turn the volume from 0 to the first bump up (I.e. supposed to be very quiet), I find it to be uncommonly loud. Any thoughts?

I am curious about this as well. Seems to be more noticeable when streaming video from the web browser.
I've noticed this also. Since all the ROMs so far are bases off of stock, it has affected each ROM I try as well
I've tried lowering sound in equalizer and looking for quiet apps, but not-so-shockingly no one wants an app to make their phone quieter, only louder. As for now, I either connect to a Bluetooth speaker and play that audio quietly or headphones.
I haven't tested this myself yet (but I will soon because it's such a problem) but I've heard that editing the build.prop (relatively easy to do) can adjust the volume levels. There's another thread somewhere around here that discusses doing this. I'll post back if/when I get it to work.
i used to complain how speakers was low on my previous phones,But dna it super loud on low.Like this beast of a phone have bose built in.
Same problem here. The lowest ringer volume level is still way too loud for work.
And with Sony xloud you can make it louder
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
I also noticed this problem. The first bump of volume is way too loud. Hopefully someo f the custom roms can tweak this to be more reasonable.
I`ve a problem with listening to music on my L9. I use Poweramp player. When I set the volume full to show the information about a fact that is not healthy blah blah blah ... and after a few minutes of listening to disconnect the headphones. Plug it in again, I set the volume almost full, and again the same problem. Headphones work fine. In winamp I do not have this problem. How do I fix this?

Ahh, I am guessing English is not your primary language.This may be bad headphones, bad application, or a bad phone. Try another pair of headphones and try the youtube app.

No, it`s not. I tried on other headphones and it is still the same. At maximum volume phone stops see headphones-I do not know how to precisely call it. Just disconnects. On the polish android forum I've seen that not only I have a problem with that, however, no one can find a solution.

AW: Problem with music listening
Headphones should work, also the crappy Headset coming with the phone.
I encountered similar problems with a headset and a multimedia headphone adapter for Symbian phones.
Gesendet von meinem Commodore 64 mit BTX Decoder
First thing first.....How is built-in LG Music is doing? Is it working fine with speakers and headphones, etc?
Maybe he's talking about the volume limiter? Whenever you plug in something to the headphone jack, it pops up a notice about restricting volume and/or listening to volume at high levels can cause injury. I know that when plugging the L9 into something as a line-out, I have to crank the volume to max AND crank the volume of whatever speaker/device it's attached to.
For comparison, running the same app and music via a bluetooth media device the volume is equal to that of my iPhone. AKA: it sounds "normal." So it's using some sort of volume limiter on the 3.5mm out as far as I can tell, and I haven't been able to find a way around it. Though I haven't been looking too hard.
There´s this auto-volume-down mechanism, which allows to re-up the volume to max afterwards. But also the phone (P760) seems to follow the EU regulation, which is obligatory for toys only. Volume set to max is still not loud enough for me, as with my Nokia phones. But with Poweramp and Music Folder Player you can get a bit of extra juice, which is sufficient to me. For rooted devices there´s an app to directly control the Linux ALSA sound interface, but I won´t need that.
I tried to see if a similar question had been asked and answered, but could not find anything quite on point so I am hoping someone can help me with this issue.
I have Viper4Android installed on my rooted Moto X and have been using it forever without issue under the "headset" tab. I just got a bluetooth headset and have been experiencing some weird problems. I loaded up the same profile for the bluetooth tab as my headset, but it seems like volume almost "flutters" at times.
When the phone is connected to my bluetooth headset it tends to occur when the chorus of a song hits and the bass is more pronounced. It sounds like the volume decreases for a bit and then once there is less bass the vocals get louder again. However, I don't experience the same thing when I hook up the same headset to my phone with a cable.
I am trying to figure out whether it might be my phone, the headset or a setting on Viper that I need to adjust for when it is using bluetooth as opposed to a wired connection. Thanks for any advice!
