Anyone else having problems with the FM radio volume? I have my Atom Pure about a month now, I have updated to the latest ROM and can play music and sounds at full volume.
However, the FM Radio is barely audible. I have tried soft-reset, ensured the equaliser is off, gone into the FM radio application directly (as opposed to via the O2 plus media), every thing. I have also Googled for an answer and can't seem to find any reference to this problem. I have increased the volume in the FM radio application, but it doesn't appear to have any effect.
To really top things off, I recorded the FM radio to a file, played it back and it was at normal volume!
Any ideas?
Go to "Settings->Headset Volume Limiter" and move the level to right most.
I don't have that in Start->Settings (or anywhere else I can see).
Am I looking in the wrong place?
Did you ever apply Volume Limiter Patch?
Did you ever tried to adjust the volume control on the headset?

Don't I feel the complete and utter plonker? I have only now noticed that there is a volume control on the headset itself.
Problem solved. Doh! And mega-DOH!
Is there a way to increase the volume coming out through the "stereo" speakers on the phone itself?
I find the speaker volume for FM Radio is very low

i have an atom exec and similar problem. setting the headset volume does not help at all.
but there is no issue when playing mp3. looks like the problem is inherent with the fm radio.
Is there a way to increase the volume of the BT headset through the phone...louder than the "slider" allows. I got a Jawbone, and it's PAINFULLY low in volume, even with the volume slider all the way up. And this $100+ headset has no volume controls (yay!). Any ideas? Thanks!
Uh, yes the Jawbone has a volume control... did you bother to read the manual??? The only drawback to the volume control is that it only cycles up to the max, then starts at the beginning - so no volume down...
Whoops I assumed you were a noob and didn't bother to read things - now that I saw the name...
It is possible if you're using the BT Audio script that the volume on the Jawbone doesn't work while in that mode. Try switching it to no audio reroute and try pressing the "Jawbone" on the headset. That's the volume adjustment.

I actually agreed with you until I finally figured out the problem with mine. I called AT&T because doing what pkley wasn't working and I figured maybe they would know or send me a new one (if this one wasn't working). I actually had to reset it...someHOW i managed to fawq it up and it wasn't allowing me to increase the call volume. Once I reset it, I was able to turn the volume up and now i'm happy as can be
Know what you mean, I thought the noise cancelling and auto volume adjust quit working on my first one so I swapped it out at AT&T. I'm pretty sure the issue is the non-standard VC I'm using to make it work thru the headset... Ah well, gain some, loose some...
I'm using HD2 with a Jabra BT3030 bluetooth headset and the problem is that even with the lowest volume setting on Jabra the volume is too loud making my ears hurt.
I can work around this by editing the audio files' volume on my computer before transferring them to my phone but that means some extra work so I was wondering if it's possible to change the volume through some registry tweaks on HD2?
I found the bluetooth settings at HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Bluetooth but can't seem to find anything regarding volume levels.
Is changing the volume possible at all?
Same here! HD2 + BT3030. Voicecall volume is ok, by pressing the volume button on BT3030 the volume control on HD2 is popping up and works as it should.
But if ur listening to music, the BT3030 internal volume control gets back in action, and the lowest setting is still too loud. Changing volume with hardware buttons on HD2 is showing the volume bar but doesnt change the volume.
Any solutions?
I do have the same problem. After testing my HD2 one day with BT3030 I would say all is prefect apart from this issue mentioned and unfortunately this is currently a NO-GO to me. I love my BT3030 and don't want give it away.
A little bit of tweaking maybe will bring some light at the end of the tunnel
Cheers,

I have the opposite issue with a Plantronics headset: the volume is too too low!
Can you help me?
Thanks in advance
I have the Philips BT Headset.
Volume is very high to start with.
The volume buttons don't respond very well ... but if you hold them down, the volume does eventually change to a sensible level. It will go up and down ... just need to be patient.

Have to push this thread because this problem is killing me. I have a Sony-Ericsson HBH-IS800 headset and everything worked perfect with my Touch HD, but now it's useless for me if I can't change the Music volume.
Any solutions for this problem???
Just found out that the volume controls of the CorePlayer can change the volume
Tried it also with Nitrogen, Windows Media and the Manila Music Player, but CorePlayer is the only one that can change the volume for my Bluetooth headset
/HKLM/software/widcomm/plugin/av >> all the volume settings should be there. try to play with it.
Only found one interesting point: DisableRcVolumeControl. Setting it to 0 ends in a message "the connected BT-headset doesn't support volume control. control the volume on the headset itself".
That's BS, i can control the volume over headset in phonecalls and even if no application is opened it controls the system volume. So still no solution found

I guess you managed in:
menu>tools>settings>Audio page
the Volume and Preamp settings???
How did you set them?
I have a HD2 and BT3030.. Same problem with volume level.
I have tried with Coreplayer as suggest. I cannot turn down the volume on the BT3030, but turning it down in Coreplayer will lower the volume level.
I really hope for a tweak here.
It seems to be the bluetooth connections/software interface that is doíng something wrong.
still playing around with it...
If Coreplayer is player with low volume it will be low volume in the BT3030.
Pressing Play on the BT3030 will start manilla, with low volume as well... unfortunately with the sound from both coreplayer and manilla player. As long as coreplayer is playing (not running) manilla volume will be low. As soon as coreplayer is munted or stopped the volume on the manilla will go up.
Hope this can help some smart tweakers....
I found a similar thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-424565.html
they tweaked with theres files:
Using a registry editor, I've changed the following key values:
HKLM\Software\HTC\AudioManager_Eng\Config\music_pl ayer_volumn --> 20 (default: 100)
HKLM\Software\HTC\AudioManager_Eng\Information\vol umn --> 20 (default: 100)
It seems that the default volume level of the HTC player (aka manilla player; I am not right?) is too loud.
I will try and play with this within the next couple of days..

I've just changed the volume at the lower right corner of the home screen of CorePlayer.
Btw it's the same setting as menu>tools>settings>Audio page>Volume.
Preamp is 0, and Volume is at 30.
I am also having a problem controlling the volume when using my SE HBH-DS200 bluetooth headset. Coreplayer's volume control works, but s2p's does not.
It looks like Coreplayer has its own independent volume control, seperate from the system volume. The other media players (s2p, and at a guess all the others mentioned in this thread) use the system volume.
the problem seems to be that the bluetooth audio connection is ignoring the system volume setting. Anyone have an idea of how we can fix this?
Would like to find a solution as well.
I have a Samsung WEP420 BT headset and the volume is too low. I can barely hear the other calling party specially with some surrounding noise.
We need to approach HTC on this issue, it is a obvious bug in the Widcomm bluetooth stack, I had previous Widcomm based HTC phones with the same headsets that had no issues.
This is a copy of my email to HTC, feel free to email them and add any pertinent info:
There is a serious bug with the Widcomm Bluetooth Stack on the HTC HD2. It is impossible to change the volume of any Bluetooth Stereo headset from the phone.
This is critical as most bluetooth stereo headsets do not have a built in volume control and they rely on the phone for volume adjustment.
This makes my HD2 useless as the volume on my bluetooth headset (Sony Ericsson HBH-IS800, or Jabra BT3030) is at %100 all the time.
Please address this issue with a software patch or a system firmware update.
My HTC Nexus One does not suffer from this issue, and previous Widcomm based HTC phones I have owned did not suffer from this bug.
Thanks
Great. Thanks. Hope HTC will really come out with a patch soon!
Here is HTC's reply:
Hello G, I understand how frustrating it can be when a device does not function as expected. I have tested this complaint and found that our test device exibits the same behavior. Adjusting any volume levels on the device itself does not affect the volume output of the headset, with the exception of setting the Windows Media Player Mobile volume to 0%, which will stop audio from coming out of the headset all together. There are no planned patches for the HD2 at this time, but I will submit your concern on this issue to our feedback department for condsideration in any updates that may enter development in the future. If you have any further questions or concers, please feel free to contact us again or check www.htc.com as well. We also invite you to participate in our feedback survey at survey.htc.com/worldwide. We enjoy getting feedback from our customers and look forward to hearing from you. Best regards, Joseph
We need to step this up if we ever want it fixed, everyone needs to send a suport request to HTC so that they understand that this is a major issue.

I listen to the internet radio through the loudspeaker, never with earphones. Consequently I can't use the audiobooster so I was wondering, is there a standalone graphic equalizer that will work without having headphones attached? I use Wunder Radio.
Also, as a secondary issue, the volume control is a problem. I have to use the up/down volume control on the side of the handset but this means that when I lower the radio volume (even the lowest setting is way too loud), my system volume is then on super-quiet setting after I've closed my radio....and I don't hear my text alerts etc.
Is there a way to adjust the volume in apps without adjusting the phone volume settings?
I'm not sure about the graphic equalizer but you can sort your sound issue by going to Settings>Sound & Display and switching the Single volume setting to off. That will allow you to change system sounds (including the volume of your radio software) without affecting the ring volume.
Use SRS WOW. Search it.

Sorry for the stupid question, but which application do you use for internet radio? Thanks, and happy holidays!

It is precisely the system volume which is my problem, this governs text alert notifications amongst other things. Once you have set system volume levels in the sounds menu, they should stay 'set'. I don't like this ability to adjust them using the volume control on the side of the handset - that should be reserved solely for in-call volume adjustments and application volume adjustments.

Thanks Dude, I'll check it out! If I find it...
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.
