[Q] BT very low volume - Streak 5 General

hello all,
I searched the forum but have not found any argument,
My bluetooth volume is very low, no way to increase it? I'm running 2.1
I'm the only one who has this problem?
Thanks, Danilo

iv also noticed this problem..

I have this problem as well. It makes using a headset that doesn't have an external volume control impossible.

I noticed the same thing on a nokia bt headset but thought it was cuz of that one headset. I have 3 more but never got around to trying them. Now that I know other people are having the issue is most likely cuz of the device. There are no options in the bluetooth settings so we got to find some other way to solve this

I'm just checking cos I couldn't see it mentioned, but you are adjusting the bluetooth in-call volume via the volume buttons first aren't you?
I do agree that even with it at max the BT in call volume is too low. It's odd as it's fine on A2DP streaming!
I wonder if it's a correction from the 1.6 ROM. That had horrendous BT call quality and sounded a little like the gain was set too high or something. Upgrading to 2.1 solved the problem BUT the volume has dropped significantly, to the point where i have to crank up the car's head unit much higher for phone calls than for other audio (fortunately it stores the setting!)

has anyone tried with the "secret code" menu?

Try the following, it works for me. I suspect it is a bug in Android
1. Disconnect the bluetooth headset.
2. Call to any number and change the in-call volume to highest using the volume button
3. Hang up
4. Connect the bluetooth headset again
5. Call to any number again and you will find that bluetooth in-call volume is much better now
I think that it is a bug that the bluetooth in-call volume is set proportional to the non-bluetooth in-call volume

I followed the steps exactly as you outlined, but there was no change in volume on the headset.

We definately need Dell or someone to fix this issue. I have a great headset -plantronics voyager pro- which used to work just fine on my N1 and I have not been able to use on the streak beacuase of the low volume.

Low volume in 5 high end bluetooth headset
Im also suffering to this problem, I tried my plantronics 975, Plantronics Backbeat, Jabra Stone and Blueant Z1 and V1 and still getting the same result. I also have the Galaxy S and HD2, all of my bluetooth headset works perfectly with no issues w/ my other devices. My Dell Streak is on a custom 2.2 rom.
I hope this will be fix on the official 2.2 upgrade.

Mine is exactly the same, whilst on the phone using BT headset if you use the volume keys it does show "BT in call volume" but max is too low! I have volume control on my Sony Ericsson MW-600 but it makes little difference :-( (music is perfect & loud though) I used them all the time on my se xperia x10i 1.6 with no problems.

Bluetooth volume adjustments?

I'm having a new problem with my TyTN. I recently picked up a Sony Ericsson HBH-IV835, which is a BT 2.0 headset. The headset does not have volume controls, as it has auto volume-adjustment based on ambient noise levels. The issues is that the default volume is too low for me. The headset's manual tells you to adjust it through the phone's volume controls. The TyTN will not control a headset's volume...is there a hack or a tweak that will allow the TyTN to control a BT headset's volume?
I am a bit disappointed right now. This is the best headset I've owned. Just for testing, I paired it with my old Sony Ericsson Z600, and that phone controlled the volume perfectly. The headset can be plenty loud!
If anybody has any suggestions of fixes, I'd truly appreciate it!
Thanks
Anybody?
Thanks
Adjusting Vollume on that headset
The TyTN is Bluetooth 2.0 and I too had the HBH-835 headset by Sony.
While you're in a call, adjust the vollume by clicking the volume icon on the phone. You should notice that the bluetooth headset vollume does adjust accordingly.
I Sold my 835 and went with the HBH-GV435. I got tired of the 835 falling out of my ear all the time. The GV435 is alot more comfortable.
Thanks for getting back to me. Does this work differently than actually using the scroll wheel to adjust the volume when in a call? Thanks!
Mate I have the same problem. My in car bluetooth does not have volume controls, and my Dopod 838 Pro does not adjust the volume of the bluetooth. So when I am in my car, the volume level is deafening!
I do hope there is a tweak for this!
Cheers

Any volume boost app for SYSTEM volume??

I am listening to streaming radio and transferring the sound to my bluetooth headset, but often even with headset, media player, and physical system volume turned up to maximum, it is barely audible.
Is there any app that works on the WM6 Touch/Vogue that will increase the overall system volume, rather than the call-talking volume, so that things like music and streaming radio can be made louder than the default maximum? Boost it higher than the built-in level?
Thanks...
I too have that problem. Anybody have any idea of where or how can you boost your speakerphone audio?
try using this.
Installed the cap on device, what exactly is this as I dont see any new program installed under programs.
That's because it's installed under the Settings tab. It's just a equalizer that can increase certain aspects of the sound

Does this increase the volume using a regular BT headset?
I have the Moto H700 and the volume is low when driving in my truck. I have the volume all the way up on the headset and I sometimes have problems hearing people.
It is fine as long as I'm in a quiet area, but the reason I bought the BT headset is to use it while driving since its safer than holding the phone to my ear.
I've already tried the audiopara.csv file and that increased the speaker but it didn't seem to affect BT.

I too have the same problem w/H700. I have searched high and low and have found there are many with this problem. It seems like it is a WM 6.1 issue.
Is there any possible way to increase the volume to the BT headset? This is a major inconvenience to many and I think it should be addressed by MS. Maybe one of the senior members here have some sort of tweak for this problem.
Thanks.

Bluetooth Headset Volume

Hello All,
Does anyone now of a way to increase the volume level when using a bluetooth headset. I'm talking particularly about the over/in the ear headsets for hands-free conversation. I have a Jabra BT8040. There are probably better bluetoothes but with the Jabra I'm able to pair the headset with up to 8 devices. Which allows me to use it with my HD and my Motorola Razor work phone. My phone and headset volume is maxed, but I still find myself straining to hear the other person. Forgive me if this question is redundant in the forums. I did search before posting and did not come across any previous questions of the same.
Appreciate any comments/repsonses!
THANKS!!
Use the HD Tweak and enabled the 3.2 audio booster, 3.3 diasble the 100db sound limitation, 3.4 set high for increase sound. Then save and set your device vol to the max both for system and ringtone.
Thanks WingZer0n, I'll give that a try.
Hummmm...it seems like it worked. The calls appear to be a little louder now. But I don't understand one of the suggestions you made. You're saying turn the volume of the ringer and system to max. Is this only when I'm on a call using the bluetooth? Please forgive my ignorance on this
yes set the device to max vol for both ringtone and system. press the volume button on the side of the device....

Auto-resets Bluetooth In-Call volume to a level that is really low.

When connecting my new $80 BlueAnt T1 headset, to my rooted Android phone running Bionix V with voodoo always resets the "Bluetooth In-Call volume" to a level that is really low. It seems to be dependent on the type of headset I use. On some headsets it's set to 100%, others to 0%, and others somewhere in between. During a call you can set the volume to a comfortable level with the hardware volume buttons on the phone, which persists during the same bluetooth session. However, once you disconnect and reconnect, the volume level is at it's "default" level again.
In the mornings, when I connect my bluetooth to my phone, I get a brief message "Adjusting volume for bluetooth", which denotes that there is some type of profile setting that is unique for that headset.
This problem can be very annoying when using a hands-free system for the car for example, because you always have to take your phone out of your pocket to adjust the volume, while driving. This issue creates a dangerous situation rather than preventing one. When receiving a call, I must now look at AND adjust my phone volume every time a call is accepted while I drive. The bluetooth in-call volume NEEDS a way to be set and retained, before someone is badly injured or worse.
The correct behavior should be that it stores the bluetooth in-call volume level for every bluetooth headset that is connected.
I've done some research on the internet, but it's very clear that many people are having this problem with a lots of different headsets.
It very well might be an Android problem, but that doesn't explain why I'm having this issue with the BlueAnt T1, not my other headsets.
I have a Samsung Vibrant with Android 2.2. Is anyone else having this issue?
Okay! It seems I found a workable solution (kind-of). I downloaded the free app 'Volume Locker' from the market. Volume Locker locks your sound volume levels inplace, to where if you accidentally change your levels, it puts them back in place where you locked them.
Now, what I did is I called someone using by bluetooth headset, I had to manually turned up the 'in-call bluetooth volume' then I activated the Volume Locker app.
Now, everytime I call out using my Bluetooth headset, I don't have to KEEP turning up the 'in-call bluetooth volume' that resets everytime I disconnect a call.
I hope the Android engineers who make these OS updates will recognize this BUG and develop a fix. For right now, I can use 'Volume Locker'.

Low Voice Calls when on a Wired Headset

When I'm using a wired headset to talk to someone on a call the volume is kinda low, I have it set max but its still pretty low, works fine on speaker or BT. Also the same wired headset works very loud when on a movie or music, just low when on a call.
Any fix to this?
Would like to know this aswell... Impossible to hear what people are saying when using the headset
I too find that headset and speaker volume are low. ( comparison to few other phones )
Cannot hear in a noisy environment.
Tried Volume + but does not seem to help .
I experienced this problem as well. Looks like this is a hardware problem (either the pin or the socket).
Try using a different headset - one without a mic. You sould see a significant gain in volume.

Its a hardware issue, swapped my phone for a new one today and dont have the problem anymore.
The service menu edit doesnt really help at all and the volume gain is minimal.
Anyone else having issues like this should request your carrier or samsung for a replacement. It only happens to a handful of phones.
I assume there are two seperate audio chips, the yamaha one for audio and another for voice calls??
Can anyone confirm?
