I'm coming from and HTC Evo 4g LTE, and connecting via bluetooth to my shower radio. The volume I get on the radio with the GN3 is significantly less than with the Evo, even with both the phone and radio on max volume.
Is there a good way to boost volume specifically in the bluetooth media output?

I realize that this is an old post, but I’m having the same problem. Sound with Bluetooth is very low in volume. I’ve seen some ways to boost speaker and headset jack volume, but I don’t believe that those solutions address the low Bluetooth volume. Any guidance would be most appreciated.
Poweramp has an equalizer where you can increase volume via preamp. That's what I use. And HTC phones have better sound.

Hi guys, my 328i has a built in Aux input. And it works great with my Vibrants 3.5 output jack. The only issue I have is, the volume is just not as loud as It is listening from the mp3 CD. The volume for both the phone and car is at full volume.
When I usually listen to mp3 cds, the sound goes up way louder. Is there a way to hack the phone to output louder through the 3.5 jack? Or if any of you have the 328, is there some option to do that?
I don't know about mp3 cds but as for official cds bought from the store, they are definitely a lot louder that the phone through aux jack. Same deal with my g1 before I got the vibrant.I'm sure once the rooting and custom recovery is all sorted out and we start getting some custom roms, the devs will include volume hacks just like they did for the g1.

I'm quite satisfied with the volume. If you need to blow your ears off boost up the EQ.
Actually, it's really weird. Through headphones I can equalize my Vibrant and iPod to sound the same, but through AUX, the vibrant is quieter (Same volume settings). Really makes no sense to me. It has to be something with the equalizer...
Edit: But it is in no way quiet. I have to turn up my car stereo by like 4.
Try a different cable or a higher quality audio file.
I play songs between 192kbps to 328kbps and have no problems. The volume is at the same level since I used my mp3 cd.
appreciate the inputs, i'll look for the equalizer on the phone.
Have you guys tried sending the audio thru bluetooth audio enable car radio? Pretty cool no cables needed
I can even listen to pandora and send the audio to my stereo

whoa, i'm going to have to try this out. any advice?
I have the Pioneer Z110BT Navigation and it has bluetooth audio. Just pair your Vibrant to the Pioneer then play any song on your vibrant using the music player. Click options then "Via bluetooth".
Then go to your stereo and click on bluetooth audio. Voila! Streaming music from your Vibrant to car stereo. The sound is also great!!
Not to hijack this thread but my one complaint of the phone is how low call volume and audio volume are.
Everythings turned up to max and this phone is roughly half as loud as my MT3G is set at 50%.
I have a Sony xplode and play through Bluetooth, I get great sound.
I have no issues with call sound or ring levels. I actually have to turn it down sometimes because its to loud.

I built a custom cable to connect the headphone jack to my Pioneer's IPBUS connector - it works great, and is very loud. I keep both the head unit and phone's volume on half way, and depending on the song I may have to turn it down, too.
on any other phones tested on this car the volume is great iPHone and Samsung Infuse. I noticed the note is significanly lower volume while bluetooth audio streaming. Does anyone know any bluetooth service menu adjustments for this? I saw a few threads in the GSII guys, and I remember voodoo control on a droid charge i used rooted to get volume acceptable a year ago. What are we doing for the galaxy note to get bluetooth Audio streaming louder. I have tried Volume + apk and it works but it doesnt have clarity and proper bass output. Are rooting and going to ICS solving bluetooth audio streaming volume issues?
I even tested this on my 2011 Jeep Wrangler and my 2007 infiniti. same thing on volume.
I know i cant be the only one..... This is a big deal to me i love music

DSP Manager floating here on xda has separate settings for speaker, headphones and bluetooth - you could try to set BT equalizer to max through all the freqs
PS.: on my Note I have version from this thread, installed according to post #2, works perfectly
I just tried mine with a Sony Ericsson MW600 headset and some Sony headphones i got with an old mp3 player and the volume is really loud, no problems at all.
John.
Well I'm currently on stock rom and it looks like I'd need to root in order to play

So...I love this phone.
Using it right now with a bluetooth headset (Phiaton PS 210 BTNC) in a POS car that doesn't have a radio while I try to decide what new car to get.
Listening to some podcasts, but the volume is just too low. Can't adjust it on the headset (it doesn't seem to work), and it's up as high as possible on the N4.
Are there any tricks out there to increase the bluetooth volumn of my N4?
Thanks guys!

I remember there were some back door ways of changing settings in my old G1 and G2, anything for this phone?
How the does bluetooth sound for you guys? Mine seems to be worse after the B29 update (not for certain that's when it degraded). I have a decent car stereo setup, but bluetooth distorts and crackles in the mids and highs. It's not unlistenable, but I thought my stereo was on the fritz until I used my 3.5mm input from the headphone jack, which sounds just fine. It can't be that the DAC is that much better, as my other phones sounds fine and this used to.
Do you have any thoughts or experience with something besides a small bluetooth speaker?
And I have tried playing with the Dolby settings. They make no difference with the distortion.
After some perfunctory tests I have noted that Bluetooth audio seems to introduce a significant amount of extra noise at high volumes. Aside from the additional background noise I have not noticed distortions with Bluetooth yet. I have only checked this on B29.

Just something to try...I have a BT device hooked to my AVR, and when I stream through that, if I have the volume on my phone up it sounds horrible. If I stream through it with the volume up just 1 click of the volume button, it sounds good. I increase volume at the AVR instead of the phone.
Through Bluetooth hands free working flawlessly to my.(A2017G version)
I'm having 2 LG 1100/2 Sony SBH 80 and 2 SBH 20.
Haven't try it with external speakers(since I don't own any kind) and on my car I'm using the handsfree and not connected to the car audio system.

I have a A2017G on B05 and a somewhat cheap aukey BT headset: it seems to sound fine for me, no crackling or hissing. Have you tried it on different devices to compare?
A2017U on B29, using Jaybirds Bluebuds X, the sound its great, no distortion or cracking.
I use the Bluetooth on my car stereo too and the sound is excellent. No dolby, but the equalizer works fine.
Did you verify that all your bluetooth devices supports aptx? if not then you will lose sound quality :S
idk, i dont like bluetooth audio streaming... even with aptx. Its not bad but if you want to steam flac music it will still limit the quality. Somehow if i stream the music via bluetooths aptx it sound flat not dynmic and
voluminous.
I haven't tried it with the volume just below full. I'll give it a shot in the morning on my commute.
Other devices (S5 and 6P) sound just fine when paired to my headed unit, so it's likely something with my Axon 7.

Quick test with the volume just under full seemed better. I'll know more after a drive tomorrow. Thanks everyone.

EQ on on your car stereo or phone? I don't know of an EQ on the phone (maybe I've overlooked something).

On the phone. I meant to say that it's not using the HiFi audio, but the Dolby eq it's fine on Bluetooth. Sorry for the confusion.
I think it sounds about 95% better just one click below full volume. I never would have thought that digital Bluetooth volume would have been the problem, having always set it to 100% with every other device. Thankfully, Tasker makes for a quick fix.
Thanks for the tips and feedback, everyone.
Just wondering if anyone else has this problem. My g6 connects to my car everytime but the volume is much lower than when I have the radio on sirrius or even fm stations. The bluetooth volume on the phone is all the way maxed and I can actually max the radio volume without it being that loud. When on FM radio, I won't get even close to maxing the volume before it's too loud. Is there an equalizer or some audio setting for output? BTW, it's actually the same when I plug the headphone jack into the car with a 3.5mm cable. Thanks for any ideas and advice.
Nobody else has noticed? Could it just be my car's Bluetooth?
I use mine on my car daily with no issue.

I use an app called RE EQ from that play store. It works with music player and pandora, Use the slider on the left to bump up the output. It is a great sounding EQ!
