When I connect my OP5 to my car stereo or my Airpods, everytime I get a notification I can BARELY hear it, does this happen for anyone else too?
Is there any way to fix it?
I'm not using car Bluetooth so I can't respond.
But a potential way to fix it could be using Viper4Android or similar, you can configure different settings for speaker, heardset and Bluetooth.
So you could increase master volume gain on Bluetooth part to solve this issue.

Do I have to be rooted to install it?
For V4A, yes you'll need to be rooted but as you may know, OP5 is root-friendly. [emoji6]

I haven't been able to get either of my Bluetooth headsets to work with my N7. But before anyone asks, yes, I have searched the forum for answers but there doesn't seem to be any consensus on how to solve the problems.
I have the stock 4.2.2 ROM, unlocked and rooted. Bluetooth sees and connects with both of my headsets, each of which work with my Mint 14 desktop, but the only sound I get is an occasional clicking noise. Pretty much as if all of the audio is being clipped. Also, once a headset connects, I do lose sound from the internal speakers, as expected. But disconnecting the Bluetooth doesn't get it back. I have to reboot to get sound back.
My question is this: Is my problem due to the N7 having compatibility problems with some headsets or is this a universal problem. IOW, does anyone have a Bluetooth headset connected where both the mic and earphone work? And with all or most apps? I'm primarily concerned with having something to work with MagicJack.
I use my bluetooth headphones to listen to music. I just tried using Google Now with it (I put my finger on the normal mic so I would know which mic it was using) and It seems to work okay. Idk if it is the headphone or the connection but it took me two tried to get it to play music.

I just oredered a new headset off eBay that claims to work with the N7. We shall see.:fingers-crossed:
I'd like to know which Bluetooth headsets are known to work and on what models of N7 (grouper or tilapia).
If I understand correctly, an N7 wifi-only (grouper), will only respond to Bluetooth headset button presses and voice input if you modify the bool.xml file in framework-res.apk? Can anyone confirm that any Bluetooth headset will work (button presses and voice input) on grouper without that mod?
I've used my Bluetooth headset with my tablet without any tinkering, i didn't do much with it but it easily played/paused and changed tracks in Google Music. I've got Kinivo BTH220 headphones (yes they're cheap and are probably knockoffs. These had more details than the Artics or any other lookalikes and they work well enough for my needs) and a rooted stock N7. Oh and if your headsets giving you trouble check the pairing type under bluetooth settings. My phone has a habit of sometimes only pairing phone audio not media audio.

My Sony DR-BT22 headset has always worked great with the Nexus 7 providing I do not use the Wi-Fi at the same time. I am using a custom ROM but they worked fine with the std one.
All the headset controls work as well, pause. volume, rewind, skip etc.
But I have never needed to use the mic.
There is an issue when using both BT and Wi-Fi together. Either popping and stuttering BT or greatly reduced Wi-Fi speeds and erratic connection.
I posted about it here, but got no response....

I'm using a set of Motorola s10 Bluetooth headphones on my nexus 7.
I'm currently on the paranoid android Rom.
They work great out of the box.
All buttons work, I haven't tried voice commands though.
One thing to look for is some headsets will only pair to one device at a time.
In order to pair them with another device you have to factory reset them.
My particular headphones allow you to pair with one device for phone calls and a second device for music only.
But beyond that they require a factory reset to pair with anything else.
So if you already have them paired to your desktop you may need to reset them before pairing to your nexus.

I have the same and they work. There was an issue with WiFi and Bluetooth at the same time. Try disabling WiFi and see if you have any better luck.
If you do, the only way I've found that corrects this is to go back to stock 4.1, relock, update to 4.2 normally, then unlock, flash cwm, and go back to your 4.2 custom rom. Nothing else worked.
I had troubles with Bluetooth headphones and controllers when using WiFi yet they paired and worked perfectly on my sons stock 4.2 N7.
After going back to stock and reflashing the same rom/kernel combo, it magically started working. Try that.

Hi.
I bought the Jabra Revo Wireless headphones and they connect fine and everything, but the media sound is so low. Even on full volume it isn't very much. The volume is fine when I connect them using the cable instead.
I tried them with my old HTC Desire HD and the volume was a bit better but not as good as with wired connection.
And on my Windows computer I can't get any media through the headphones, but when I adjust the volume, the system sound does go through the headphones. Yes, the headphones are selected from volume mixer.
EDIT: Solved the volume problem. I just remembered that these headphones have its own touch controls on the right speaker from where you can adjust its own volume. But the problem on Windows is is still remaining, but I'll try to figure that out, if I can't, I'll ask for help on a Windows forum. But feel free to reply if you have a possible solution. Thanks!

Great that you solved it.
Windows -> Go into the Headphone Enhancements and enable Loudness Equalization.

Hi, thanks for the tip. It wasn't quite the problem but it reminded me of the playback settings and the fact that I might need to set the device to default. And that was the problem, it was only default for communication.
Thanks, all solved now
I'm having an issue where my media volume is changing when I connect to my bluetooth headset and my car stereo. This occurs in safe mode, so it seems to be a system app. In short, once a bluetooth device is connected, the media volume changes to a level that was used when a bluetooth device was last connected. Once the device disconnects, the volume changes back to the level before the device was connected. This is not what I want to happen. I control volume via Tasker and I don't want some unknown app (system or otherwise) controlling it. I've looked at a bug report and can see when the volume is changed, but I can't figure out what is controlling the changes. Does anyone know what would be controlling this or what to look for in the bug report to determine what it is? Here's the relevant line from the bug report:
vol.Events: writeEvent level_changed STREAM_MUSIC 2
I posted this at the Sony Mobile forums, but haven't gotten a response yet so I thought I would try here.
EDIT: I forgot to mention that I'm running 7.0, build 34.2.A.2.69 on MetroPCS in the USA. I'm having the issue with the Soundpeats Q9A headset and my Kenwood KDC-X994 car stereo.
look under developer options: there is an option to turn the mega loud bluetooth off. hope that is what you mean.

I have this problem too. I looked up this issue and found that it is a music file compression issue. This is not specific zenfone MP1, but could the case for any budget smartphones. i still haven't found a 100% solution to this, but I have rooted the phone, installed Viper4android and enabled FET compressor. It helps.
If anyone here on XDA can help with the issue, it will be much appreciated.
Agree happens with my innova crysta when I connect via Bluetooth and this issue is also found when I cast to my android TV.
Since moving to the S10+ from S9+ , I noticed the audio quality on the car bluetooth cracks at certain points. (Example, listening to Tron Legacy - Overture towards the end).
I have done some research and tried changing the codec but it always reverts back. I would have thought with the latest update this would have been fixed!!!
Anyone tried anything else?
You cannot change the codec. The developer setting is not true or real - it is automatically detecting what the car and the file are able to play to the phone.
I don't know why people think that matters.
My bluetooth has no issues with quality. How old is the car? Is it using like Bluetooth 2.1 or something?

My car is a 2016 registered car, i've connected my wife's iphone and the sound is better, i have also connected my s9+ (refurbished as the s9+ is an insurance replacement due to my s9+ being stolen and i am selling it) and the quality is better.
Maybe I should download the firmware and reflash?

One time a few weeks ago my sound was kind of quiet and I wasn't sure why, I eventually forgot about it but a few days later I was messing with settings in "Sound Assistant" and the regular system connections, and I did something with one of the controls like Media Volume Sync or maybe in dev settnigs for Disable Bluetooth Absolute volume, and everything got WAY louder.
Also, sometimes you may need to reboot after making those big changes just because any phone can glitch and not apply right.
If you don't have Sound Assistant it's in the Play Store and the Galaxy store:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samsung.android.soundassistant&hl=en_US
I'd try looking at these things and enable\disable:
Media Volume Limiter
Media Volume Sync
Disable Bluetooth Absolute Volume (Developer settings)
Dual Audio setting\toggle
Dolby Atmos On\Off? Auto?
Let me know if any of those help I'll reply when I see if you quote me!

I've tried the Samsung app and the other options nothing improves the quality. I have downloaded the last firmware and flashed, still having the sound quality issues.
I have also updated the firmware on my car but that hasn't changed anything, but its definitely the phone that is an issue, i've even dug out my S7 and paired it to the car with no issues. When I connect the S10+ via aux the quality is much better.
