[Solved] Bluetooth headset volume reset to low in every call - HD2 General

I want to mention this problem though i know it has been questioned previously with no answer.
When during a call you raise the bluetooth headset volume then the phone doesnt remember the setting and you have to raise the volume after the next call and again and again.
Very annoying!!Also raising the bt headset volume then the volume control opens and the ringer sound is raised too and i need to lower it after each call!!
Any solution on this?
Thanks!!

solved it
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\ShellOverrides]
"SavedInCallVolume"=dword:FFFFFF
This key seems to save the in call volume.
Set to FFFFFF for maximum in call bt headset volume.SOFT RESET.
Works for me, now in each call the bluetooth in call voice is set to max and i dont have to raise it any more.
When for any reason the volume goes down again, click the volume button in the earphone, just to stimulate it, set your prefferred settings for ring volume etc and then soft reset and the high earphone volume is back.
It is not a complete solution, of course, but it is better than having to raise and low the volumes after each call.
Up to now there is not a better solution to this problem.
If someone knows a better registry setting or tip solution he can post it.
Another problem also is that sometimes the last call button is accidentally pushed in the bluetooth earphone and the last call is activated.
I will try to find the setting that disables last call through bluetooth if there is any.

has anyone else tried this? I have this problem with the t-mous version of the hd2.

if this works you are a life saver I have had this problem for over 3 months now with no answer I will give it a try and answer back!
edit: it works!!!

I've just tried this, and get the following error:
Error : System.FormatException: FormatException at System.Number.ParseUInt32() at System.UInt32.Parse() at RegeditService.RegeditResponse.Send() at httpserv.Services.Service.sendResponse() at RegeditService.RegeditService.Exec() at httpserv.HttpServerWorker.run()
Any ideas?

i entered the value as dec...with total commander you can change in hex also

with this cab that I found here you can restore the original wm sound manager and the HD2 'remembers' the sound volume and keeps it at the highest level even with a bt headset!

I know it has been sometime to post in this thread, but I have found a work around.
Go to the market and download and instal the app 'Volume Locker' - its free. Make sure you do not activate it until you adjust the 'in-call bluetooth volume' level to a comfortable level (i usually call me wife, and then adjust the level while on the phone with her). Then before you end the call, go into the app 'Volume Locker' and activate it. Make sure you uncheck the box 'Allow Apps To Override'.
Now, everytime you call out using your bluetooth headset - it will remember your 'in-call bluetooth volume' setting.
I hope this works!

There is no "in call volume" setting in volume locker. Which box did you check in order to activate the in call volume?

Update to MS Voice command registry hack with SE662 headset

I changed the registry successfully and on my first attempt used the headset to activate MS VC. Trouble is once the call has ended it appears that the 'gateway' is not closed, therefore you cannot make another call via your headset button until the device is 'warm booted'.
Is there any fix out there that will address this problem. Does it have anything to do with the BT vs Widcomm stacks.
Thanks :?
I find if I hang up using the headset button (Scala 500), even if the other party has already cleared down, the audio gateway closes and the next press of the button on the H/S reacivates audio and fires up VC again.
Are you clearing the call from the h/s or just letting the other party clear down to release the call?

MS Voice issues with Bluetooth headset
to be honest I've not really noticed. At times I would clear first, others it would be the person I called.
All I know is once the call has cleared I'm left with an open 'gateway' If I restart the headset it's still 'open'. It's only when I soft reset that it clears the headset.
It could obviously be different across different headsets, but with the Scala, audio stays on after a VC command, and I need to press the button once to close it, and a second time to get the VC prompt back. Something like this...
Press...
<Mic Symbol>
"What is the battery level?"
"The battery level is 23%"
Press... (to close audio gateway)
Press...
<Mic Symbol>
After a call, I usually press the button just in case, and I don't recall it restarting the VC prompt, so I assume it's closing the audio gateway. Maybe it's just my timing and i'm closing it as we say "goodbye", so I always force the call to close down, even if the other party is doing the same?
There have been a few "VC doesn't work reliably" threads, so maybe it does, as long as the h/s behaves as MS expected. If you don't use the h/s, just the phone VC button and mic/speaker, is VC okay then?
Dox
That's the way it works for me with T-Mobile Vario & Jabber 250 HS.
What I would like to be able to do is disable the Jabbers own ring tone as it masks the incoming caller announcment, and I appear to get the
phones own ring tone played in the headset anyway.
Also is there any way to make just the voice louder?
I think the VC announcement voice is a normal system volume (system), and the phone call is the in-call volume (right) sliders on the volume dialogue that pops up when you tap the speaker icon on the today title bar. I don't know of a way to increase the VC annc over the ring tone.
I did find on my Qtek that there's a hidden system .wav file in /windows called LB.wav which appears as an alarm and is a really loud 'boing' sound. I copied it to /windows/loudboing.wav with Total Commander, removed the system/hidden flags and use that as an alert. I guess, in reverse, you could use a sound editor to reduce the level of the ring tone .wav file and then turn the system volume up so that the VC annc (if that's what you want to increase) is comparatively louder than the ring tone...

HTC Cruise and Parrot CK3000

I have just bought a Cruise and it connects fine to my Parrot CK3000. The problem is however that the sound is much to loud. Changing it with the button on the side does not help. It makes no difference if the slide is completely at the top or at the bottom.
Does anybody know how to change the volume on the carkit??
When you are in a call just use the dial thingy of the carkit and turn it counter clockwise. Should bring the volume down.
You can also set the volume in the settings of the carkit when you're not in a call.
edit: Which one do you have btw? Cause I'm beginning to thing you have the new CK3000 without the display . Although my guess is that turning the dial when in a call does the same: change the volume.
edit2: I've just come up with a brilliant idea!: http://www.parrot.com/usa/support/userguides

CK3000 does have neither display nor wheel.
Only accept/refuse buttons.

Oh my, thát one . Damn parrot calling all their carkits 3000 :/
Online manual here for that one:
http://www.parrot.com/guide_chm/CK3000/
Which says nothing more than:"Setting the volume: Volume is adjusted on your phone".
I'm not sure how the volume might work with the bluetooth connection. Take into consideration that changing the volume when you're not in a call only changes the system volume. When you're having a phone call, only then you are changing the volume of the call.
When clicking the speaker icon when you're not having a phone call shows two sliders, one for the system volume and one with a little phone as icon. That one is not for the call volume but for the ringer volume.
So in short there are three types of volumes. System, ringer and call. Playing with the system volume and the call volume could be worth a shot.
Yes that is the problem. When I adjust the volume during the call nothing changes. The volume slider is shown, but it makes no difference if it is at the max or the min setting. Somehow this does not work. I have software version 3.13.
Any suggestions??
Hi Tim,
just click on the speaker at the top to change the volume DURING a call.
regards Yoshi
Hello Yoshi,
I tried this but I got the same result. I can slide the volume indicator to minimal but the sound volume stays the same.
Any other ideas maybe.
I encounter the same problem that Tim B. I can not modify the sound of CK3000 from the phone.
When I change the volume during a call, no changes. The volume is too loud !

This is a Touch Cruise problem.
It does not allow to change volume on blutooth handsfree profile.
You'll encounter the same problem with bt headset. Only there, you're usually able to adjust volume on the headset itself.
Apperently HTC thought that there aren't any bluetooth handfree device around which do not allow to change volume.
In my car the ck3000 is just loud enough, but I use bigger speakers.

Call sound: great, but volume very high

Hi all,
The call quality of the HD2 is very good. Reception is great, people understand me very well and I can understand them very good.
My only problem is that the sound is so loud, when I'm using my phone at my ear (so without speaker or bluetooth).
Do you have this as well? Is there somewhere a master volume that can be set?
To be clear: the volume is already at the minimum...
Thanks!
Koen
Does the earpiece speaker also pop/crackle somtimes when the tones are high or very loud? I hear a ticking in the earpiece speaker.. that is very anoying!
Will probably swap my device for a new one.
Not really.
But as I find it now too loud, I don't like to use to make normal phonecalls.
Koen
I have the same problem..
One weird thing though, it's only on outgoing calls, incoming the sound isnt too loud!
i had the same problem but only with outgoing calls an mine sounded terrible, still does( think my speaker is broken)
You can edit the registry.
in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Controlpanel\Soundcategories\ you have INCALL and INCALL 2, i think one is ingoing and one is outgoing calls.
Edit Initvol, i have both mine on 2 now. and the volume is much better!

Thanks, now it's great!!!
I've got the exact same thing!
The quality is great, but sometimes the volume is just way too loud, almost up to the point where it hurts my ear.
One additional thing is when I get a notification on the background that a message has arrived during one of those loud calls, volume actually switches back to normal.
In my registry incall2 was set to 5. Resetted it to 2, hope it works
could anyone clarify
Where can I find that
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Controlpanel\Soundcategories\ you have INCALL and INCALL 2 thing. Please help! How do I enter registry?

Made the first step, done the things in the register, but the volume is still too high. What am I doing wrong?

Not sure if I did a soft-reset, but you might just give it a shot.
Both outgoing and incoming call volumes are now fine on my device...
[edit]
Actually got another loud outgoing call..
When I took a better look at the inCall and inCall2 properties, they seem to be for the notifications you get when you're in a call.
So changing them to '2' is OK, but doesn't actually solve this issue.
It may be an explanation to why my sound swapped back to normal after receiving a notification though.

Tried a soft reset too, but my ears still hurt! Any other suggestions?
This is totally unacceptable, has nobody got a cure for this? I can't use my *phone* as a phone, the volume is deafening! Both speakerphone and earpiece are way too loud, even on the lowest volume setting.
try this one
Here's a solution : you need to use the Schapman advanced configuration tool v3.3 (freeware).
Go to "HTC audio manager" -> set "music volume" (or something close, I don't know of it is labelled in english, I only have the french version) to 30 or above (below 100, which is the maximum) and then soft reset your device.

I can't seem to get this to do the trick. Is there anyone out there who has used a program to specifically lower the earpiece and speakerphone volume on their HD2 'Leo'? I'm going to have to return my handset if I can't lower the volume. I love the phone but if I can't make calls on it it's useless!
*bump*
This needs keeping near the top as it's a MASSIVE problem. Doesn't *everyone* find their HD2 far too loud??
It happened to me only once, when I woke up, press power button to get the screen on and dialed a cab, it was way too much loud.
Today I made some calls, received them as well, and it was ok.

Inquiry Description Hello, I have just bought the HD2 and the speakerphone volume is incredibly loud, even on the lowest setting. It is unusable! The speaker is distorting, it is that loud. Is there a registry fix one can do to solve this? Thankyou.

Does anyone have a link to the part of the site where these supposed hotfixes will be....and how long will they be coming, any ideas? So far it's the speakerphone & earpiece volume which are of the utmost importance for me, then the pink camera etc etc etc.

question about bluetoth in-call volume

Updated my galaxy s to 2.2 last night and now I can do the bluetooth voice dial but the volume is too low. The Bluetooth in-call volume is set by default and 50%, how do I fix this without turning up the volume manually every call?
Thanks
to be more specific, its the womans voice that is too low when she ask for a number. How do you raise the volume by default
use the volume up/down from the bluetooth headset
im saying at the time the call number is requested, the volume bar on the phone called "bluetooth in-call volume" is at 50% and I can barely hear the womans voice unless I manualy turn up the volume on the phone. The problem is I have to do it every call and want to know how to change the default setting
No one else has this problem? I really need help with this
All the views and only one reply, can anyone at least confirm if they have the same issue?
Thanks
Have the same problem but with the nexus S on 2.3.3. I would say it is an inconvinience to keep adjusting the volume everytime you try to make a call. I have yet to find a setting to change the default.
There is an APP that will set the bluetooth volume when a headset is connected. Search market for "bluetooth volume" by nightshade. This does NOT help for the stupidly low volume of the lady that provides voice prompts though - just allows a preset override for the in call volume.

How do I set "In-call volume" permanently?

I have to turn the in-call volume up on EVERY SINGLE CALL and it is getting quite annoying. It does not remember the volume I had set for the last call...how do I permanently set my in-call volume to max? I do not need more than the max...the highest setting is fine, but please tell me that I do not have to turn it up for each and every call.
Thanks.
I don't know of a setting to do it with Moto. I just looked and didn't see it. I have the Quick Settings app and there is an option for Voice Call Volume. Where this will fix your problem I honestly don't know. I've never payed attention if the in coming call volume re-set every time. It's free so you have nothing to loose to try it.
fasthair
I'd like to know the fix for this as well. Glad I'm not the only one lol.
I use audio guru to fix this.
