I just paired a Sony bluetooth headset (HBH-IS800) with my Tilt 2 and the volume is quite loud when listening to music. I put media player sound volume down to 5%, apparently the lowest, and it's still very loud. The only other option at that point is going down to 0%, obviously too quiet :-|
Also, the main system volume slider on the side - no effect on the headset whatsoever. Whether it's maxed out or silent - the bluetooth headset is still too loud.
Does anyone have any recommendations on:
1) How to go between <5% and >0% volume on media player?
2) How to get the main volume control to affect the bluetooth headset volume?
3) Any other ideas on lowering the music volume overall? Maybe another (better?) music player could work? Maybe a reg setting I can modify?
Any advice is appreciated - the headset is so cool - I'd love to make it usable!!! - TIA!

P.S. - I called Sony - their answer: "We don't support the headset unless it's paired with a Sony phone". Boo Sony!
I have the same problem with this headset.
I had it running on the Touch HD with volume control from the device works perfectly.
Is there any solution yet?
same volume control issue with BT8040
With both Media Player or PocketTunes, I am not able to alter the volume on the BT8040, either from the Tilt2, or the earpiece itself.
Never had this problem with the same earpiece and my original Tilt.
Same problem here
I have the same problem. I have a bluetooth set which I connect to FM transmiter. The problem is: Volume is all the way up so the music is horrible, it gets distorted. I'd like to know how to manage the bluetooth volume in the system settings, is there a way? Pushing the left buttons (system volume) wont affect bluetooth volume, neither any other volume control within the settings. Any help appreciated.
I have found a solution that works for me. I use Nitrogen Player and you can just turn the equalizer on and change the preamp level to close to the bottom. Works a treat for me.
Code:
Options -> Settings -> Equalizer.

Same problem to me... I listen often to internet radio, but now it's too loud :-(
Same Problem here...
If anyone came up with a solution for this that works native to the ROM (vs just adjusting the eq) post it here, and I'll do the same.

I have a stereo BT headset, and whenever I pair it with my (tmo US) TP2, the phone throws up a standard "you have to adjust the volume from the headset, can't do it from the handset" warning...and when I do use the volume controls on the headset, the volume does adjust accordingly, but without any feedback from the phone (no volume slider or other indication), so the adjustment is obviously happening in the headset's circuitry, and the audio coming from the phone is at a static, un-adjustable level.
From the research I've done, the culprit is the sub-par Widcomm bluetooth stack in the phone, and I haven't yet found anyone who has engineered a replacement stack. I know the possibility exists (I upgraded the bluetooth stack on my Wizard a couple of years ago to get one that had the A2DP profile), but I just don't think anybody has made a replacement for this model yet

Thanks for the reply! My situation is backwards in the sense that the headset doesn't have volume controls - and what I seem to be finding is that there doesn't seem to be an immediate fix for controlling a headset from the phone. I did use a tool called "Advanced Config" to find a default music volume that I can change, so I lowered that from 100 to 50 and now the volume is at least comfortable. However I have no control over it yet....
Could these issues be due to USB 2.0 versus USB 2.1 ?
I got a Motorola H17 (USB 2.1) and everything works perfect. Have volumn control from phone and headset and all audio sources work fine.
Oooops. Meant Bluetooth 2.0 vs Bluetooth 2.1.

Yes, for some reason, the BT stack in this phone seems to assume that all BT stereo headsets also have built-in controls on them and won't allow them to adjust system volume. I think we're probably stuck with that fact until somebody finds a BT stack to replace the TP2's native one.
The best workaround for now may be just to find and use a headset that does have volume controls. I'll be posting a review soon of the ones I have now, the Plantronics/Altec Lansing Backbeat 903's

So when you play music through it, you can control the volume on the handset itself, and with controls on the headset? If so, I'm guessing it's because that's a monaural (not stereo) headset, so it may not be the same volume. My headset has BT 2.1 on it, and while I can control the playback etc on the phone, the volume controls only adjust the headset volume, not the volume on the phone.

This may be true since it is only monaural. The volume control (on the phone) still controls the phone (thus the headset) while the BT control only controls the BT headset.

Good evening,
If it can help you with tcpmp-0. 72RC1 - GF5500Edition - Alpha4. 1 can adjust the volume of this famous helmet HBH-IS800 and it is easier than with nitrogene.
Good evening
Ichtus
if its is supported by only sony phones(BB storm too) then can we get the profile from a xperia and install it on another device
I have seen multiple people state they can adjust the volume both on their headset and on the handset asystem volume. I thought perhaps it was the BT stack EXCEPT I was able to do this as well before I did a hard reset now I cannot adjust the 2 volume controls independently. The handset volume is static. Will someone that can adjust the system volume with a headset compare settings/egistry entries with me?
Is there a way we can adjust the volume of the line out from the bluetooth connection, anyone, lately ive have noticed that most devices are doing this, dont want to revert to a old stack but there has to be a way to combine the headset volume with the bluetooth volume
I guess this is a silly question, but I have these V MODA headphones (Remix Remote, if you're curious) and was wondering as to whether it was possible to get the buttons to work. It has volume buttons and play/pause buttons, but the only time the remote buttons works is during a phone call (Answer/End).
Thanks!
Are they meant to be used with an iPhone? If so, some music apps replicate the headphone functionality of the iPhone. MixZing does, maybe others. I don't believe the standard Android music player works with the buttons, though.
Thanks for your response! MixZing works flawlessly. However, the volume buttons don't work.
And yes, it's intended as an iPod/iPhone headset.
Hi,
After updating to Gingerbread 2.3.3, build 2.36.405.8, the headset controls (rew,fwd,play) stopped working. Altough I have selected in my music application, Poweramp to be the primary app, which should be able to control the headset buttons, I don't get any action, not even on the HTC music app.
At first it worked but it was a bit laggy and now is not working at all. Is this problem related to any other app I have installed?
If I have to do a factory reset...how can I do that?
Thanks in advance for help
try setting power amp not to control the headphone controller, save these settings and then re-apply the ability to control the headphones, worked for me, although eventually I dropped PowerAmp and tried Winamp for Android, really awesome.
Thanks for support, tryed it and didn't work. I think it might be a hardware problem with the buttons. I'm gonna test the headset an another phone to be sure. Will keep you updated Does anybody know if the service guarantee includes also the repair of the headset?
anyone know if there are headphones with music control (next, pause, play...) for galaxy s2?
thanks!
im interested too for gym workout
the earbuds that came with my SGSII seemed to do this automatically with PowerAMP. hit the button on the mic for pause/play and hold it for next track. although, in the stock music app holding down the button to skip track won't work, but pause/play will.
I use a Jabra BT3030 bluetooth set. The controls are all on a dog-tag and you can use whatever headphones you desire. I'm using a set of Sennheiser MXL 60 phones because they have a nice short cord (with optional extension included), and a little loop that the BT3030 attaches to very neatly.
It's a great combo for cycling.
Also interested with this. Any good/great "regular" earphones(NOT in-ear/canal, etc) with working controls on PowerAmp?
Get the Sony DRC-BT30 BT30 Bluetooth Receiver and match it with your favorite earphones (that didn't come with volume/call control).
Has anybody tried a beats solo with control key? What keys work?
If it helps I quote myself:

Regarding volume control using different headsets with the SGS2 I've finally found a solution that works for me: Headset Droid It lets you assign different actions (including rising and lowering the phone's volume) to your headset's key/keys. I've tried it with the stock headset and works great! The link I include is for the 1 day trial version, if you try it and you like it's only 0,99€

Headset Droid
Beats Solo HD: Call(Hang), Music(On/Off/Forward/Back). Volume(Use Headset Droid).
Tried this, and yes it has a workaround with the beats solo but the commands tend to get mixed up. Like center(button) + hold = increase volume or it turns the music player off. So its better than nothing.
Will haven to check headset droid out, hoping for the best
Anyone has got a2dp key control via car stereo over stock rom working????
Sent from my MB526 using XDA App
Do you wish your Defy to control the car stereo or vice-versa? Perhaps Headset Button Controller app (trial) is a solution in your case:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.kober.headset&feature=search_result
Btw, the A2DP Bluetooth profile is only used for transmitting high-quality audio.
Remote control functionality, as in your case, is processed by the AVRCP Bluetooth profile which is supported by the Defy, but your car stereo needs to support this AVRCP profile as well.
More about this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluetooth_profile
I have a Bluetooth headset supporting both A2DP/AVRCP as well as Headset Profile (HSP) for telephony/mic and able to control the defy music settings with the headset buttons. I use PowerAMP as media player and able to swith previous/next track by single click end previous/next album by double-click.
Thank you for your answer. My radio support both a2dp and acvrp profile, with cm7 all it's working perfect even with stock music player and miui music player.
With Motorola stock rom any buttons aren't working. I've tried to plug, unplug, reset radio, reset profile, but its not working. Tested both stock music app and miui music app... any suggest?

I suggest to try the Headset Button Controller app and/or reinstall CM7.

Actually i can't reinstall CM7 because there isn't any way to charge the LiPo battery. I will try now headset button controller....
Your stock rom without Headset Button Controller let you change the track with car stereo commands or Headset Button Controller was the app that has fixed this trouble? Thank you again
I do not a have a car stereo. I use CM7 and have no trouble charging my battery. With PowerAMP as music player on your Defy the Bluetooth headset buttons should work properly. And it has FLAC audio file support. Try this as well instead of the stock player. The Headset Button Controller app just brings extra functionality and tweaking but is not free.

Pardon, mine error. I love CM7 and i've used until i've got DEFY (non plus version). With Defy+ CM7 can't charge battery at today. Sorry :-(
