Increase bluetooth volume and quality - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II

Is there anyway to get louder bluetooth volume on a phone call and better quality.. I had the sammy victory 4g and volume was crazy loud and quality of sound was amazing for a cheap low end phone

havent really noticed any issues on my lg tones, jambox or my bt head unit....what are you connecting to?

I am using a blue parrot headset.

I'm using a Plantronics Voyager Legend and the volume does seem a little low even at maximum. It can be a bit staticy sometimes as well. Neither issue is so bad as to be annoying though. I had thought that the issue was with the Plantronics, but I suppose it's just as likely that the problem is with the Note. I haven't searched for a solution yet.

I have tried my headset with my wifes gs3 and my old phone photon and it is crazy louder with those phones, then I connect if back to my note2 and the voice prompt and commands are loud but when on a phone call isnt nearly as loud....

Silly question...but did you turn it up? I think there is a setting that adjusts in call volume to a lower level by default

I've seen the same thing. Its a software thing because on Jellybomb 5.1 the volume us definitely louder but still not loud enough. My same BT headset was much louder on my Evo and is much louder on my WP7.

Ya I just wish I was smart enough to figure it out I have tried multiple Bluetooth headsets and all them get quiet when you start taking but use thm on other phones and are louder

Any super smart developer that can figure this out there has to tweaks somewhere to increase the max volume

I would Definitely say its a problem with the note. The volume is way low on a call. I use a Moto hx550 and my GS3 worked great with it.
I have been following this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1931970
and tried the tweaks by editing manually, but it didnt help bluetooth volume. So I'm either not tweking the right volume values or there will have to be another solution found. Its frustrating, but hopefully something will come out of one of these threads...

I have an issue with my Note 2 Bluetooth quality as well. Using Motorola Elite Silver. Seems to be perfectly fine with playing music and as soon as I initiate a call the quality degrades their voice breaks up as well as mine. Works fine with other devices, currently have tried on a couple different ones in the Sprint store I work at.

Has anyone found a solution to this issue?

What rom/kernel are you running? If its a tw rom with a compatible kernel you could try STweaks.
It has an option to increase standard volume limits.

Hmmm, its got to be rom related then. If your headset works fine on a different phone, then thats all thats left. There is one last option for you
I use a jawbone icon I got fron ebay.
What really made the difference for me...jabra ear gels. They look crazy! But they hold inside the ear without a hook. An it tunnels the sound dramatically. $6 for a full set left and right.
Honestly bud, this made night and day difference! Sadly their not available in any store anymore. But online everywhere!
If sound is this much an issue for you. I would say the $6 is worth a try.

There should really be a VLC-like setting on all ROMs that allows you to go above 100% on bluetooth volume if you choose to.

Samsung Galaxy SII T989 - Poor Sound

Hi, all,
When I talk on this phone, the sound is very poor... Although not too loud (like other complaints) but the sound crackles at high frequencies... The speakerphone is even worse... If I lower the volume, it gets better but sometimes a low volume won't help me with the conversation.
Is it my phone only or everyone experiences that? Are there any tweaks, settings to fix that ?
Thanks!
My phone seems fine and I haven't heard of this issue yet. Maybe I just haven't read up enough but it might just be that you got a bad phone. Exchanging would be the quickest way to get it replaced

I don't hear any cackles but the volume is very low even if I make it the highest it can be.
Mine actually sounds pretty good.
exchange it! Maybe you'll get a white one......

Just the color. They just rolled them out though, so they should be fresh.

Bluetooth Volume

I use me phone several hours a day on voice calls. I have used my headset (blue parrot) with a bunch of phones and never had any problems with the volume. In fact the headset is so loud I rarely have to have the volume all the way up. I got the note on Saturday and the volume on my headset while using this phone is very low with the volume all the way up on the phone and headset. This is just for voice calls, I watch YouTube videos and Skype calls are just fine, just the voice calls. I have went through the settings and can't figure it out. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks

Widely recognized problem. Volume is a bit better on the Jelly bomb ROM. Haven't found any other ROMs that help much.

Wired headset in line Mic problems?

I have two sets of headsets. Both are Skullcandy but different models. They both worked on my Galaxy Nexus & Evo LTE.
The sound works fine. The Mic doesn't. Plus, if they are plugged into the phone and someone calls I can hear them. They cannot hear me through the phone or Mic because it disables the phones mic when they are plugged in.
The headset Mic works for recording sound with apps off the market. The only time the Mic doesn't work is for phone calls.
Is there a fix? Does anyone else have this problem? The phone didn't come with a headset in the box so if LG has done proprietary headset stuff they didn't have a way to eleviate it.
Thanks

I have skull candy ear buds I'm sure basically the same set and while I don't have the exact problem, they are problematic. They pick up so much background noise it's near impossible to hear me.
I too am interested in a fix for this.

Hold down the center button on the headphone while you plug it into the phone.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
Well, that sure did the trick. How the hell did you figure that out? For two months I have been have headset issues that no one could help with.
I wonder why holding the button fixes it?
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
I had the same issue, and through multiple trials and errors, I finally got it to work. However, what's weird is that I have to do this trick for some phones, but not others like my Epic 4G.

never in my life would I have thought to do this. ever.
Thanks for the tip!:laugh:
There is a known issue with headsets designed for apple products where the mic doesn't work. I had the same issue with mine using iPhone 5 earphones. I'm not sure if it's a hardware or software limitation, or if they plan on fixing it. As soon as I find out, I'll be sure to post it.
I can confirm that holding down the center button on the headphones works for Bose MIE2i as well. Awesome!

Turn it up a little at a time til you find the max with no distortion
Sent from my LG-E980 using xda premium
Try this:
Install equalizer app from market.
Open the app and raise all 5 bars to max.
Done.
For mp3: use pre amp feature of players like poweramp.
What quality is your music at? What kind of head phones are you using? I say this because my set up I have to turn down because it's too loud.

I use Poweramp + Audio Technica M60.
Try this (attachment)@PowerAMP equalizer.
Also check your audio file quality.

anyone have acid audio on this yet? i fpashed it befor the freegee cwm was out and it pretty much bricked me and i had to refoash stock firmware. i have tue freegee cwlwm now but havent chanced flashing it again. ive used it on ky one x s3 and not 2 im hoping it will work for this phone too as it uas alot of sound enhancements built into it.
r u nuts?!
mine is blowing my ears!
Ok I work in the petroleum chemical/refinery industry. And I've been around loud ass stuff my whole life, so I've got a little hearing loss nothing major.. but this thing with my GS3 ear buds fu*king jams...
When the f*ck did we get ice cream??

[Q] Earpiece not working, volume tweaking!

Well I noticed that my earpiece quit working on the N2 today and my volume goes down all on its own... any ideas? It was dropped bu only like 18". Its taken many falls in the past with no problems...
[EDIT]
SO, I am not so sure its a fall thing... It fell at about 2pm and I have made and received calls SINCE then just fine... It's degenerative. Examples: First, I could not hear out of the handset earpiece... but people could hear me. Now, a few hours later, they can also NOT hear me which indicates the phones mic is not working... IF I turn on Speaker Phone, it works fine and I can communicate just great with anyone/everyone... also works with my car hooked up to Bluetooth just fine... So, could the Tweaked ROM I am running be screwing with something? Should I just try to flash another ROM and see what happens? I have already tried the last modem and the newest modem, both which had no effect on the situation... Any info would be greatly appreciated!
I would try another ROM to see because I am having somewhat similar issues with no drops at all. I had this in TOUCHWIZ and it was bad. But when I switched to PAC-rom I have different volume issues. Certain (newer I believe) headphones play either double out the phones as well as my integrated speaker and once I had the volume phreak out going up and down inadvertently.
I just love my ROM sooo much that I am dealing with it for now. PAC-rom 4.3 JB nightly updates on Galaxy note 2.
