Hi re960088
What Bluetooth volume issue is this then? as i have no issues using my Jawbone headset for voice calls or my Nokia BH-500 for streaming Stereo Music the volume is no different to how it has always been for me since i started using the Streak on its release and running 1.6.

This may be a subjective, technical, and / or use case issue. Some people have quite acute hearing and don't experience problems, some people don't use BT headsets while in noisy environments, or maybe the different Streaks have different volumes sent to BT for calls.
In my case, all volumes sent to BT are fine EXCEPT phone calls, which are approximately 1/3rd the volume of media at max volume.
[edit] another issue is the BT mic. In my case, BT tx is waaay to high...most environmental noises are heard louder than my voice.[/edit]
Some means for accessing the BT volume subsystem might be valuable. Apparently "louder volume hack" does not provide answers. If the official 2.2 update does not provide answers, I will be digging. While I am just able to make out conversations under typical conditions, if the calling party is quiet or mumbly, it just won't work!

Thx 4 the above. I use dell streak to call in my car -connect to bluetooth stereo. When it connects it says adjusting bluetooth volume,and the overall sound volume is so low i can barely hear my counterparts very annoying since i sm on the road a lot. Car stereo volume is set at max. Also tried other car no advance! If 2.2 does not fix this, i will have to return it unless some of the smart people here can fix it..thx

Ive used 3different bluetooth headsets and not experienced any of those issues, so can't really say whether it will fix those particular ones.
But froyo does use different bluetooth stack so it may make an improvement to those who have issues.
I did notice that it's a lot more stable with my one jvc stereo headset. 1.6 used to hang quite a lot using that one in particular if I did a combo of button presses

Hi all,
there's definitely an in-call volume "issue" on the 2.1 build (certanly my O2 8105 anyway) when I hook up to either a BT headset or my car's Pioneer BT head unit. Music streaming is awesome, phone calls are only just workable.....
1.6 was much better on volume level but used to break up the sound really badly so I wonder if it was some kind of "fix" for that?

HTC HD2 + Jabra BT3030 (bluetooth stereo) = too loud

Hello,
Today I paired my HTC HD2 with Jabra BT3030 bluetooth stereo headset. Everything seems to work fine except a little issue - even with minimum volume settings a sound comming out of headset is faaaaar too loud.
Maybe you know if there's any fix for that? Of course setting volume on the phone does not bring any results. At this point listening to music with BT3030 kills my ears.
Regards.
i'm also thinking about buying this headset... any1 else have this problem?

Same issue, it's too loud :-/
only solution till now - use a SW-Equalizer...
hi I have the jabra headset you have and the volume is just about perfect. maybe it could be to do with the ROM you are running and the region you got the phone from! I got my hd2 in Hong Kong and it came with 1.48 ROM preloaded. I do remember seeing a different thread with other people with the same problem as you on this forum. I also sure I sas some other threads on this board where people were looking for the registry weeks the raise the volume limit, but everything that is tried does not work. I hope you can sort your problem soon as the jabra headset is pretty good and the sound quality is very good.
I have the same equipement and I love it.
You can´t adjust the loudness via phone. You need to manage it via the bt receiver itself.

Right. There is a +/- which is for volume.
I reduce it every time because my In-Ears are very loud either.

yes same here. there is only one issue with the volume buttons on the device itself. everything else is great...
I have the same problem with my HD2 and Jabra BT3030.
Sound is too loud from earphone can't adjust in "HTC sense media player"
I tried Coreplayer and media player without this problem.
Today HTC informed me that maybe the devies are not compliant and I should take a look at www.htc.com for accessories. Amazing!!!
That's pretty sad that there is no registry tweak to fix that.
P.S.
I have 1.48 WWE

I assume that you mean SRS WOW? The problem is that its installation mess up with bt drivers. As a results you cannot turn bluetooth on.

I think I know enough... HD2 can't handle bluetooth headsets like the BT3030, I will return this product, and ask my money back
Strange... hard reset + BT3030 replacement (because one button was malfunctioning) = no problem. The minimum volume is in my scale "normal volume". It's not very silent, but fine for working and tripping.
The problem is known and seems to exist only in htc music player

I guess HTC Sense Music Player is not compatiable with some BT headset.

Hi
I use SRS WOW for equalizing and I have no problems with bluetooth?!?
Using SRS WOW you can set the output gain level, so it's not too loud anymore! Till now the only solution I know...
I've different problem with BT3030
i've found that when recieve any phone call, sound too low so every time to call or recieve must press volumn up every time like Sound Volum Level can't remember by HD2, never found this problem on htc3470.
and another problem is when play music sometime it's noisy
such as while listen music and phone in after finish and back to song it'll noisy.
i've use 1.48 official rom asia
waiting for update driver
Hi!
Today i got my BT3030 and works fine with my HD2.
No problems with the volume. The mediabuttons(play,fwd,prev) are not working with CorePlayer and HTCmediaplayer, only with Windows Mediaplayer are all features of the BT3030 available.
ROM-Version: 1.43.111.2 (70315) GER (it´s T-Mobile branded)

bluetooth audio stutter

is it just me??
there aren't that many reports of this issue on the net. it was briefly mentioned on one of the reviews and that was it.
anyway, on higher bitrate mp3 playback, bluetooth headset audio stutters and skips a lot, even if the device is held very very close.
wifi was not running, 3g data was not on.
if you guys think the issue I posted on google Android's bug site is relevant, then please vote.

Desire as well?? wow..
i think perhaps ill try disabling the HTC Sense or something
just dont understand why no one's been complaining
whats the x10 like by the way...it looks really nice but someone somewhere said SE's skin is slow?
how much battery life do you get out of it?
I do have trouble using just a plain headset. I only get about 30cm range before the audio begin to stutter.
I've tried with two different Sony Ericsson headsets (HBH-PV710, HBH-610a) and a TomTom Go930.
Is it a software issue or hardware related? Repair?

am guessing it's hardware...
but perhaps it can still be helped by modifications in software
basically im still getting the same issues with a custom ROM
Got the phone replaced with a brand new, still the same problem.
Audio in headset is really bad, but in the other end they can hear me loud and clear.
Could it be poor output power from the Bluetooth transmitter in the phone,
while reception is good?
I've restored it to factory settings, and had WiFi disabled.
I've got the same problems on my Legend.
Both A2D2-profile and standard audio for talking.
No more than 80-90 cm before the static and noice occurs.
My colleague here at the mobile-store had the same problems on Hero, and now on his currently X10..
So to me this seems as an Android problem overall, but I can't tell for sure..
My Legend is my first Android handset, and I like it..
I only wish these blutoothproblems hadn't been here.. Should have been just the same as on my beloved Sony Ericsson handsets..
Got a new headset a Nokia BH-602 and the audio is a lot better, not perfect but at least I can hear every word said.
It's quite strange that SE HBH-PV710 and HBH-610a including TomTom Go930 just didn't work.
I'm just curious what qualification Android or Bluez did meet to certify for the Bluetooth standard.
Sorry to bump an old thread...
But just wanted to add I have the exact same issue, the bluetooth range is not very far at all, however it is a lot better then 30-60cm.. i'm able to go for about 2-4 meters with line of sight.
So i guess its usable as long as the phone is in my pocket which is fine.. just wish it was a little better like my previous phones where I can just leave it charging and walk around the house.
Bluetooth support is pretty atrocious on this HTC Legend.
Never had any problems streaming audio or using any of my previous devices with my car stereo for handsfree.
But this Legend is pants! - It won't work with Bluetooth Audio streaming at all - I just get static and some wierd clicking noises (using 2.03 latest official ROM) and handsfree connects ok - but then drops half way through a call causing me to lose my call at the time.
Any resolves for these bluetooth woes?
thanks in advance.
PS - Using it with my Pioneer FH-P80BT
I use my Legend with a pair of Sennheiser MM400 headphones. I have no stutter with bluetooth stereo (except minor cuts when browsing some intensive websites or typing fast in landscape mode). My headset works well even with the phone in my pocket (although it skips momentarily if I turn my head right or if my hand touches the bluetooth transmitter near the camera lens).
Perhaps some of the reported problems are caused by some background process using CPU cycles with high priority?
Incidentally, I highly recommend these headphones - bluetooth playback is of identical quality to wired playback. I don't know how Sennhesier have acomplished this feat but every other brand of bluetooth headphones I have used before have had intolerable reproduction of high frequency sounds.
I am having this problem as well...streaming music from my T-Mobile Vibrant to my radio via bluetooth. The radio is bluetooth 2.1 compatible and the Vibrant is supposedly Bluetooth 3.0.
I used to have a Mytouch 3G running Android 1.6 and I do not remember having this problem.
Same problem here !
am using Legend, and "Jwin Stereo bluetooth" headphones that needs "A2DP" to work, and its working clear but there is some silly cuts while listening mp3's and its disturbing me, i cant ignore these cuts coz are alot !
Please tell us if there is any way to solve it ...
Thanks..

Calls now route through normal headphones on Gingerbread!

Has anyone else tried this? I'm not sure if this is the consequence of Voodoo7 with Fugu mod, or if it is contained in the stock kernel. My Sennheiser headphones route calls through the headphone now with no issues.
EDIT: Oh yeah, headphone to speaker switching works just fine as well
what a good news ! A very good reason to switch to gingerbread !
If they could also add support for different controls on the headphones (play, pause, next song, volume up, down). I would like to use my remote controls adapter I got with nokia 5800xm because with it I can connect my sennheiser headphones that don't have play/pause buton built in.
Also since ginger likes having led lights on. They could program them to light the right one when we have a missed call (looks like a missed call arrow) and the left one when we have a missed message (looks like some txt). That would make ginger perfect
Both things are simple and can be solved through software! I hope Google/Samsung or some coder is listening
Well, I know voodoo 7 on froyo lets you receive calls on headphones with no issues..
It's been included in the stock firmware since gingerbread

My Siemens Bluetooth headset does all the above wirelessly. Media controls, play, volume. skip etc. and call controls. Also can be paired to multiple devices. Cost me £7.50 on eBay I bought two so I could use one with the line in on the car using a double male lead rather than have a connecting lead.
Any chance for a link to that Siemens bluetooth headset?

AFAIK speedmod includes the HPCall patch that does this in froyo. Voodoo 7 in darky or voodoo kernels didn't get this working for me, contrary to the above post.
Froyo 2.2.1 (XWJS3) does this as well.
With headphones, calls go thorugh headphones.
With speakers (high impedance), music goes through the speakers, but calls come on the phone.
Don't remember what the 'speaker' button does in the last case; I think it sends to the connected speakers and not the internal speaker, but I am not so sure.

"Speak Now" Bluetooth Volume Really Low...

Guys, this issue been haunting me since Froyo. Talking about Bluetooth dialing out. No matter what Android phone I use, when I use the "high-end" Bluetooth ear devices (BlueAnt or Jawbone) the volume is really really low when it connects to the phone to where you hear the all familiar "Speak now". When I turn up the Bluetooth in-call volume, it reset itself everytime I disconnect the current phone call.
I've call both customer services on either product and they blame the Android operating system.
There must be some setting in some internal system file that has the pre-set Bluetooth in-call volume. There's got to be some solution for this.
And NO, I've tried all the market apps, none helps with this issue.

No replies?
does anyone else out there have anything like my issue?
Hey,
Sorry I don't have a solution for you, but I do have the same problem with my Blueant Q1... =(
Wow! For a while there, I thought I was the only one with this issue. I started my Android experience with a Vibrant 3g, and I have a basic Bluetooth headset that works just fine, even with my G2. EXCEPT it doesn't do that great outside in windy or noisy places. That's why I was interested in these high end headsets that have noise filtering technologies. I purchased a BlueAnt T1 which is AWESOME in wind, except the volume is always set really low.
Now I can fumble with my phone and manually turn up the volume (I have to be quick with that first "speak now" prompt) but why should I need to do that EVERY TIME I DIAL??

Same goes for me... I had an older Plantronics Bluetooth that was rather basic and it didn't have this problem. Since I upgraded to the Q1, the problem has been persistent. I updated the headset to the most current firmware with no changes...

getting very bad bluetooth audio quality

iam having the worst ever audio quality over bluetooth while listening to songs...whenever there's treble it sounds like a worst radio quality..iam using sony ericsson MW600 bluetooth stereo headset..does someone have a solution for this? or is this universal problem?

That sounds like it's using the hands free profile instead of A2DP. You could try going to the options of your bluetooth headset on and untick the "Phone" box, and make sure "Media" is ticked.
I have generally decent bluetooth audio using Motorola T505 to broadcast FM to the car radio (must get around to buying a proper BT head unit, or a new car with one built in...). Most of the problems I have are interference with the FM signal rather than dodgy bluetooth.
However, I do see this kind of bad distortion on the high end with certain pieces of music - generally the solution is to turn down the volume on the Note a couple of notches and crank it up on the car stereo. I assume some of my tunes are just recorded/ripped REALLY DAMNED LOUD, it seems to mainly be things I ripped myself years ago so I probably didn't pay much attention to the levels at the time.
If you lower the volume from the Note does the distortion disappear?

No, still there. I'm using Galaxy note and noticed a similar problem, both with a pair of Plantronics BackBeat and bluetooth car kit FM transmitter. It sounds pretty fine on my Archos 5IT that is running Android 1.6 and my Nokia N900 running Maemo. My note is currently running on Android 2.3.6 Rocket 12.
Bluetooth stereo sounds great for me using Sennheiser MM-200...
If you have exceptionally bad audio quality, it's probable that the headset is being used in handsfree audio mode, and not media mode. If you go to settings>bluetooth, and click on your device, you should see which modes are ticked.
Also, some people have reported better bluetooth audio quality with the LR1 modem. See here:
