I cannot control the volume of Streaming Bluetooth Audio.... :(

I have a pair of bluetooth headphones and a bluetooth receiver in my car.
Once i pair either one to my Touch Pro 2, i noticed that raising/lowering the volume on my HD2 does not affect the audio what so ever(unless i put it on mute).
The music sounds very loud and distorted, and i cant control the volume either way...Anyone else run into this issue? How can i solve it?

That's normal. You need to adjust the volume at the receiving end.

I have the exact same problem. Not sure why as when I pair up to my speakers, the phone tells me it cannot control the volume, yet it worked fine on my "Touch Pro" (the 1st one) and my Kaiser. Not looked for a solution, because its not much of an issue for me really.

But the problem is that, the audio being streamed from the HD2 is so loud and distorted, that i have to turn it down(but i cant).
So even if i turn it down on the receiving end, the distortion is still there.
With my old samsung omnia, i was able to turn the music up or down from the phone...I dont understand why this isnt possible with the Touch Pro 2.
The music coming from my phone is unlistenable. The distortion ruins the audio. Which really sucks, because i spent $300 on a car reciever with bluetooth!
There has to be a solution! Come on XDA!

Try turning it down on the phone first? Or get a player that uses it's own volume control instead of the system volume (I believe Mort Player and Nitrogen will do this).

Same problem here!!!
No volume control at all on TP2, and volume of music cant be changed through the system volume control either

I have a bluetooth connection to my motorcycle intercom system. I had the same problem, sort of.
I installed Conduits Pocket Player, and use the equalizer to bring down the level of the Bluetooth. That worked well enough for what I needed to do.

I read somewhere else on the forum here that this issue is attributed to the Widcomm Buetooth stack on our phones. Whenever I connect my headset to my phone or my laptop, I receive a warning that the volume must be adjusted on the output device, and cannot be adjusted on the phone/computer. It may be related to the poor support for AVRCP.

ok, so it seems that this wincomm bluetooth stack or whatever SUCKS. You're right....I guess the only work around i guess is a player that doesnt use the system volume, like coreplayer.
Coreplayer is great for movies, but for playing mp3's i would prefer Slide 2 Play.
Havent tried nitrogen yet though.
Does a mp3 player exist that is similar to slide 2 play, but doesnt use the system volume of the phone?

I too am not able to use many of the bluetooth audio accessories such as my jabra headphones, desktop speakers and my indash audio system. None of which work as they did with my Kaiser. This was supposed to be an upgrade to my Tilt and it doesnt even support the OLD protocals that were common 2 years ago?? Im seriously considering switching to blackberry. Anyone intrested in a nearly new Tilt 2. Goodbye htc (high tech crap)

THis is a problem with the bluetooth stack, just email HTC so they can get a patch for this. or microsoft because they are the ones that control what stack it gets.
this Goes for the HD2 and others too

Parrot car kit a2dp experience

Just wondering whether anyone else has connected their phone (I have a HD7) to a car kit or similar?
Here's my experience with Parrot Mki9100.
Using the parrot controls:
Most things work. Play and pause work, voice control works either by syncing your contacts to the parrot or by not syncing and then using the phones voice control.
For some reason if you pause the music you cant press play on the parrot kit again, you have to go back into the phone to press play.
Forward and back for tracks works, the skip forward and back doesnt.
Of course you can control from the phone however you want. I'm sad that the promised voice control of the zune interface didnt come through.
But the biggest problem is a slight crackle with the music. It's not a massive problem and I've not used any other devices so it might be that I'm expecting too much of bluetooth a2dp and i'm happy using it like this. But at certain types during songs which have lots of guitar going on you get a crackle.
I was trying to work out if it was the phone or parrot, so i've connected my phone to my laptop, playing music now and the same lovely crackle. Anyone else experienced the same?
Thanks and hope this was helpful to someone

I just connected mine to my car for A2DP as well (Samsung Focus). It streams music fine but my play/pause/skip controls don't work (they did on my WM 6.1 device). I also have the same issue of having to use the phone to resume after a call.
I get the slight distortion as well at HF (just from tweeters). I believe this is b/c A2DP includes compression in the protocol (its not full 20-20k bandwidth). Its only on a few songs for me and something I can live with.

I am experiencing the same thing. However, the bluetooth stack on wp7 is way...way better and works with parrot better than any of the previous wm versions.

[Q] Bluetooth Handsfree problem

I have Samsung HM1000 bluetooth handsfree. When i pair it with Wildfire S (A510e), during incoming call, I only get feeble beeps (which very difficult to hear in noisy as well as even in normal condition). Where as when i pair the handsfree with Nokia handset, I can even get a MP3 ringtone in the earpiece.
What could be the problem ? Any solution ?
HTC customer care asked me to soft reset & try again. But no luck.
Wildfire S has bluetooth 3.0 where as handsfree is bluetooth 2.1 +EDR.
HTC customer care says it should support.

This is not uncommon. Ringtones over bluetooth are not part of the bluetooth specifications, so while a phone may be compatible/supported, this feature is not guaranteed to work (Nokia has the best bluetooth stack on the market).

Thanks Lee,
Is there any way to increase the vol of BEEPS. Right now its very feeble. I think i'll not be able to listen to it in crowded area or in the car if music is on in the car's music system.

If your carkit has a volume setting, that would be the way to increase them. I myself have the same situation, except my beeps are extremely loud, so it scares the hell out of me everytime my phone rings

It's not a car kit. I am using a Handsfree being mounted on the ear. U can see this model on Samsung website. Though there are vol buttons, they didn't help in increasing the beeps volume. They can increase / decrease conversation volume.
Any suggestions ?
Can HTC release a patch to resolve the issue ?

I have been searching for this myself as well; the feature is officially called "in-band ringtone". I can't find anything that's android related though.

If you plan to get a new one, may i suggest a blueant device..ive been using one for over 2 years now and used it on motorola, nokia, samsung, htc and it worked flawless ..
dun wry...am not selling em . i just love my blueant st3

I am talking about hands-free to be fixed on the ear (something like Blueant Q2). ST3 appears to be a speakerphone larger in size. Again, in one of the review, it is mentioned to bluetooth ver 2.0.
In the, mean time i once again contacted HTC customer care.
Now they say it should be ver 3.0....A2DP.....Stereo etc.etc.
I don't understand how there can't be backward compatibility ?
How many Bluetooth 3.0 hands-free devices are available in the Indian market ?
Another test:
HM1000 (same model,Bluetooth 2.1 but another piece)connected with SAMSUNG Galaxy ACE (Bluetooth 2.1). Same results. (Only beeps during incoming call).
Any comments / justification from experts.

Hi! I have the same problem. Only faint beeps emitted by the bluetooth headset during incoming calls. (I tried it using samsung galaxy y and blackberry 8520)
What could be the problem? Please help.

[Q] After I flashed 4.1, notification sounds are played in speaker other than headset

I used to listen to music with my bluetooth headset.
Everything just works as fine as it should when my phone is still running Android 2.3
After I flashed a 4.1 ROM, I found that:
1. When I am listening to music with my bluetooth headset, the notification sounds played on my speaker.
2. After I disconnected the bluetooth headset, the volume of notification and ringtone become really low. I nearly hear nothing when text and email are arrived.
I have searched with Google for a long time, but I found nothing that can solve my problem.
Do anyone know how I can solve these problems? For example, editing some system file, or installing some app?
Thank you very much.

[Q] Has anyone gotten the Note 4 to play the ringtone though bluetooth headset?

On my old Nokia 301 basic phone the phone would ring and it would also play the ringtone through the bluetooth headset. On my "smartphone" it seems to be more of a stupid phone, all my Platronics headset will do when ringing is beep at me. Is there a way to resolve this? How was my basic phone able to do this yet my smartphone does not?

Back beat go 2 user here, ringtones and message tones play just fine through my headset. It may be something to do with the phone not seeing the headset as a media capable device, check under the headsets settings and see if there is an option for media.

Yeah, the bluetooth profile only shows the device as Call Audio. It is an older Platronics Explorer 240 which is BT 2.1 but my old Nokia 301 for some reason could play ringtones, phone calls, and even music through it. So it just confuses me as to how my smartphone couldn't do this.
