Guys my phones syncs nicely with my BT car handsfree.
The only issue is that it always connects any call with volume = 8 [when full volume = 16 and I pretty much to need to have the device on 16 for call clarity].
I tried messing about in the phone with the various volumes and then kept the system/ringtone linked and kept on full but same problem.
Even if I make/take a call and up the volume, for the next one it is back at 8.
When I do play with the volume I see a "volume" screen on the phone and it full.
Any idea how I can adjust this please? Only an issue with this phone. With previous phones with was always high [with ringtone volume high].
Thanks

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'.
This one has been bugging me for a while and for the most part I've just worked around it (by manually triggering the bug/fix myself first).
The situation is that X1 starts off at a particular volume level, and I start listening to music via PocketPlayer though from what I can tell it happens regardless. It sounds "ok", but noticeably flat? I dunno like a mono audio file even volume turned up, although I can't confirm that. Just describing.
OK the bug - if some kind of event happens, the volume suddenly jumps up, without actually changing the setting. So I'll be listening to music and if one of the following occurs:
1. receive or send an SMS/MMS
2. I toggle the phone function, i.e. turn off phone radio. when I turn it back on the volume doesn't change
the volume jumps up, and I have to say the music sounds much better. On the flip side, when the phone happens to ring, it's loud as hell, distorts like hell and annoys everyone in the process. The ringtone volume just sounds over-the-top.
Now I'm pretty sure it's not the music player because #2 (toggling the phone) seems to affect the volume already. The message box alert sound on toggling the phone seems louder the second time.
Anyone have or notice this issue?
The only volume threads I find are all about a low constant volume and don't sound like this one. FWIW I did try the reg changes anyway. It still varies.
I remember the boards on a mall when i get a call from someone. The upper floor had the body modifications shop named "Ear piercing" and the lower floor had a music shop named "Dolby music". It just happened that their boards were one above the other.
I am listening to some music on headphones, i get a call, answer it with the headset button, and YIKES!! the volume is maximum. even if the volume controller shows minimum, the sound is practically maximum.
it happens so that whenever i make a call, its at its maximum volume. even when not playing music.
over the past years i have used many android ROMs and have faced the same problem with many of them. few didnt.
and with years, comes wisdom (not blowing my own trumpet). I got a workaround for it on any ROM! if i change the volume level (increase or decrease) during a call, the phone then realises its mistake and goes down to the level in the volume controller.
my phone's in call volume is always set at its minimum. i get a call, pierce my ears, and turn the volume one step UP, and the volume level is acceptably low. (when the volume is minimum, lowering it doesnt work!)
i ask help to automate this workaround (a fix would be welcome, but i havent seen any coming around these past years)
could some tasker expert provide an xml or anything for this workaround to be performed automatically? (non tasker workarounds would be welcome as well)
the works to be done are:
1. when a phone call (incoming, or outgoing) is CONNECTED (not the ringing part on outgoing calls) turn the volume one step up. some milliseconds delay would ascertain that the volume goes up AFTER the call is actually connected, which is a must.
2. within the smallest fraction of time allowable (so that we dont notice it) turn the volume one step down.
results: the volume will not pierce our ears anymore, even if the volume level was minimum at call start, this trick would work.
Please throw some light, some expert.
bump!
Bump.
I have a similar problem with my vzw gnex running poweramp and etymotic headphones with microphone.
If I answer an incoming call it is at complete max volume, if I long press the button on the headphones to get to "voice command" the normally pleasant android voice lady comes in at a blaring max volume as well.
Now running Jellybean OTA strait from vzw.
This issue seems to be caused by the audio firmware in use. I found a firmware blob that defaults to an in-call volume about half-way through. It doesn't remember the last volume you set, but at least you won't go deaf if you forget to press Vol Up after initiating the call.
Grab the htcleo.zip file from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=860850 and either replace the htcleo.acdb file in your rom or delete the one in your rom and use the downloaded file to replace the default.acdb file (the files are located in /system/etc/firmware/). I'm currently using NexusHD2-JellyBean from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1930240 and this trick seems to work.
I noticed the same firmware blob is used this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=933951 which I used previously and didn't have this high in-call volume issue.
This is a unique problem I've never seen on any other device. When I connect to a Bluetooth speaker (like the Aukey SK-S1), pushing the volume buttons changes the Bluetooth volume of the phone. This means that the speaker jumps volume steps two at a time.
For the earphones I use (Tronsmart S5), they also do double steps when controlling volume with the phone (they don't have their own volume control IIRC) this means either they're quiet or they're a bit too loud for office work, no intermittent step. Very annoying. Is this an Essential Phone problem or one with stock Android? My old Huawei devices do not do this with either Bluetooth accessory.
I would have sworn there's a setting where you can match the volume to a specific Bluetooth device?
I would have sworn the newest version of Android allowed you to have different media volumes set for different bluetooth pairings. For me, I have a bluetooth headset and then two vehicles that pair to the phone. I prefer the cars to be set to max volume and obviously the headset to not be set to full volume. Is there a way to get the phone to remember the volume level for each device? It seems to just go to whatever I had it set to last regardless of device (so I go into the car with volume set low and have had the headset pair at maximum volume).
Is it the setting under (settings>>sound>>bluetooth absolute volume)??? If that's it should it be toggled on or off. I have it set to toggle ON and the bluetooth audio volume doesn't seem to sync.
Headset is the OnePlus Bullets (from 6 months ago).
Thanks, I was about to post this too. Same issue I have, thought Android P fixed this where it would remember the last set bluwtooth vol. Don't like to install another app just to fix this.
I have the same question.
This was announced as a Pie feature (Bluetooth volume memory), so wondering why oneplus is hiding this functionality.
For me bluetooth does not even remember the volume if I keep using the same pair of headphones... Every time I reconnect my headphones the volume is maxed out again. This is really annoying...
Similarly, I like to have Bluetooth on maximum volume in my car, but not on my headphones. Even my old OnePlus One had per-device Bluetooth volume memory. The 6T has taken a retrograde step that destroys my ears when I use my headphones!
I had to use another app to work around this. Bluetooth app which rememebrs each device volume settings.
Was a fix ever found for this?
I have a BT speaker, and headphones. The headphones require a higher volume setting for the same sound level.
Anyway to set a BT volume limit per device to make them close together? I don't want to turn off absolute volume control completely. While it solves this issue, it adds other complications.
(Yes, I used Google, and yes, I know i'm bumping an old thread)
