Hello,
Don't know what's happened with my One M8 since I've unblocked it
I noted a dramatic decrease of the sound volume (phone speakers) while the headsets volume is "normal"
any explanation? any settings to adjust?
could it be a hardware problem?
Thx.

Annoying background static on stereo BT headset

Hi all,
Just got me a Sony DR-BT10CX bluetooth stereo headset. I'm new to these things, so I have a bit of a newbie question. The sound is quite good, much better than the ones that came with my HTC Touch (obviously), but there's a considerable static in the background, that seems to increase when I increase volume, but only when regulated on the headset itself. If I increase volume on my Touch (in WMP, or volume slider), the static doesn't seem to increase. I was just wondering if this is normal in these headsets? This headset sells in Holland for just under E100,-, so not really expensive, but not really low end either. Could it be a faulty headset or crappy design?
All thoughts and experiences very welcome...
Thanks,
Driekus
A2DP question
Might be a silly question, but have you tried turning the volume on the Touch up to 80% and turning the headset's hardware volume setting down??
Some A2DP stereo headsets have a particular setting they work best at..
Failing that, you may simply have a headset with firmware that really isn't perfectly compatible with your PDA...
Good luck,

As a matter of fact the volume on my touch is currently up to 100% as is the one in WMP, so that I can keep the volume setting on my headset low, but that's not really how it should work I think. Besides, incoming calls are now very low volume, so I have to adjust the volume on the headset everytime a call comes in (and quickly lower it when I hang up in order to prevent hearing loss...) and I tend to miss appointment-announcements by MS Voicecommand because of this as well.
I guess the headset isn't perfectly compatible with my Touch, as sound sometimes skips (which is even more annoying because it doesn't happen all the time) and my pda doesn't automatically connect to my headset (solved with A2DP-plugin, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1503123#post1503123), but I'm not sure whether the background hiss is because of this too.

volume in ear piece to high

hi!
does anyone have the same problem, that the volume in the ear piece (the one you are using when you are normaly taking a call and
hold the device to your ear) of the TP2 is pretty loud even on the lowest level?
snyfer
Does your headset have volume buttons on itsself ?
i mean the loudspeaker at the front of the HTC Touch pro 2 the one you are using when you are normaly taking a call and
hold the device to your ear
Yes, same issue on car bluetooth - too loud, TP2 BT output level is too high. I can reduce volume in car, but sound still remains a bit distorted. Not so cool but I can live with it.

sorry but I do not meant a bluetooth device - possibly there is
a better wording for that?

Low Volume via Car Bluetooth Audio

Hi Guys
I have this really annoying problem, when i get a call the volume is really low. It seems as if the person on the other side is whispering. I have to usually turn the car volume to maximum for it to be audible. However, when the call is terminated there is this really loud disconnect tone which makes me nearly deaf. my older galaxy s3 is louder than htc one even with half the volume level.
Playing music via bluetooth is absolutely fine.
i am not sure if anyone else has faced a similar problem with the HTC one M8.
I drive a Hyundai i30 and using an HTC One M8 bought on a contract from Vodafone.
Please help

I have this exact problem. Brand new HTC One m8 and only the in call volume is low. If I move the rocker up and down the slider moves but the volume stays extremely low. I have to put my radio on max just to here ANYTHING.
As far media volume, it's extremely loud, it's only the in call volume that's low for me on bluetooth. anyone know of a file or fix or rom that fixes this?
any news
Any News or fixes on this , as I have The same problem ?

Interestingly I have exactly the same issue with my new M9 with Kia Sportage Sat Nav unit which is probably the same as the i30 unit in the first post. Have latest firmware installed in the car sat nav.
As you say, bluetooth streaming of radio/music is fine! As for the end of call beep, very loud!
Sony Xperia Z2 and Samsung Note 4 was fine in same car.
Very annoying indeed
Low BT Call Volume
Hey Everyone:
I have been having this EXACT same problem for months now. ANY Bluetooth device that I am connected to sounds fine as far as Music and Streaming, but when it comes to IN CALL BT VOLUME, its PATHETIC. I scoured the web and there are no real answers or solutions for this. Just to save my own sanity, is everyone else ONLY experiencing this for phone calls only as I am??? The only way to get a decent amount of volume while on a call is to be paired to a device that allows you to turn the sound up SUPER HIGH, such as in my car, otherwise most of these smaller BT speakers that work for phone calls also have you capped at a certain volume level.
I am beginning to think that this is a massive hardware problem as I am seeing various M8 users having this issue on all variants as well Verizon, TMOUS, etc. etc.
I think our only option is to do warrenty exchanges?! The other thing that scares me is that some M9 users are also complaining about this too!!!!!!
I thought perhaps it might be time to upgrade to the M9 but whats the point if this stupid BT In-Call volume issue keeps happening?!
It is SO frustrating
i have had 2 m8s & both had same fault
Had same problem with m8. In call volume very low. Music audio perfect.
Moved to samsung s7 bt works very well.
Moved to htc m10, great phone. Bluetooth problem back! In call low volume. Music audio clear and loud.
HTC wake up, fix this problem. NOW!

Headphone jack levels issue

Hey guys,
could any of you maybe check if you have the same issue with the headphone jack volume at a certain level.
The volume at about 30% (idk exactly because obviosly there aren't numbers when you change the level) is louder than the volume at 40%,50%,60% ... and then when I go one step up the loudness drops down again.
(This is really annoying if you're connected to a speaker amplifier)
So any of you have this issue?

In-call volume stuck at half with bluetooth to car

I am having an issue where when attached to my Bluetooth in my car I can not adjust my in-call volume in my phone. It gets stuck at 50%. I can adjust media volume no problem when playing music and can adjust the in-call volume in other Bluetooth devices like my buds+ and galaxy watch.
Any ideas how to fix this? It results in either very quiet call volume or when the call ends the music is crazy loudly.
I have this same issue.
Me too
Don't suppose anyone has managed to resolve this yet? It's still happening with me with Android 11 update.
Disabled absolute volume?
Make sure volume limiter is not enabled.
Clear system cache.
Reset network settings.
I have the same problem on tcl 55p83 ( RT851)
bluetooth max volume is limited to 50%
Any help ?
I have the same issue.... Just figured it was normal to keep distortion or feedback at a minimal?? But, maybe it isn't?
