Bluetooth Volume Boost - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a way to boost the bluetooth volume on the G3? I used to have a G2 and used the flashable zip in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2799537&nocache=1.
Is there an entry in the mixer_paths.xml that I can edit for this? I looked through it but wasn't sure which value to change. I found a few threads in the themes and apps section for volume boosting but none had a specific bluetooth volume setting.

Downloaded that app but don't see anywhere in it to increase the bluetooth volume. Which option would it be? Headphones, Speakers, Handset, or Aux?

Fot BT audio I think you have to set up Handset, change it to 65, apply, reboot and let me know if it works for you. You must be rooted.

I tried changing all the options except for Aux. None of these worked to increase bluetooth volume.

Are you running a custom kernel? If so, check if your kernel has audio boost options.

No I'm running the stock kernel on Cloudy 2.5. I tried editing the mixer paths Advanced Headset but that didn't seem to increase the bluetooth either.

Anyone ever find a solution to this? I just got my G3 yesterday... running rooted 24B stock right now, but the low BT volume stinks! Do you guys know of any fixes or stock-based kernels that support bluetooth volume boosts?

I also use that, it works well with wireless beats. Are your headphones bluetooth or wired? I know where to turn the Volume up in the system but only works for Speaker and wired headphones.
Mine are wired. Viper has independent controls

I like the viper as well been using a little over a year now. If you wanted to change the volume you can look in system/etc/default gain.conf
If you open that up with a editor or put onto a computer and open up youll see some default numbers that you can raise and it will make the volume louder.Its pretty easy to understand if you were to open up.It has a description of what numbers are what sound. Im sure your fine with viper but just giving you the option just in case you wanted to learn something.

LOW Bluetooth Volume

Hey guys is it just me or does anyone else have crazy low Bluetooth Volume? Even maxed out is it very very low compared to my Nexus 6P. And has anyone figured out a solution to this? I tried the Devine audio mod great for increased speaker volume but Bluetooth it does virtually nothing. Any help into this area would be greatly appreciated.
I have the same issue. No solution so far...
Sent from my OnePlus3 using XDA Labs
Should be able to be fixed using the mixer_paths file but I thought the volume was fine
If u flash viper u can easily adjust the output gain, also for Bluetooth

My volume is comparable to what I got on my Nexus 6P. I listen to my podcasts at the same volume level over my car stereo as before.

Use Devine beats to flash it. Here is the official threat: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/softwaredapp-divinebeats-sound-master-phone-sony-t3274355
While u find the newest beta to flash here:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24591020540822247
It includes the Bluetooth fix and was just posted in the op3 telegram group.
Hope I could help.
I'm on the stock rom but rooted. I assume it doesn't matter but I'd like to be sure.

Brilliant, thanks! Low bluetooth volume has been annoying me too and I've been looking for a way to successfully install V4A. This worked perfectly! :good:

Well as long as you use TWRP to flash it you are fine.

I think this has an issue with streaming apps like Spotify, same as other versions of V4A I've tried. Mine won't play in the car either. Annoyingly, gonna have to revert to stock for now.
This does not work for me.......looks like I'm not able to get Viper4Android to work either. So it looks like I will wait for a later time. Thanks for the recommendation though.
I don't think Viper works. It doesn't seem to do anything to increase the volume on phone calls using Bluetooth headsets. Unless somebody can tell me a way to do it I don't think it works.

U have to enable viper it in the specific section, e.g. Bluetooth. U can check if it runs when pressing driver status while music is playing.
Also go to menu then UI SETTING and enable expert mode.
In the Bluetooth tab scroll all the way down and crank the output gain up. Done

Weird. I am having no issues. Neither in my car nor with my headset. Don't know any fix for that though, sorry.

It doesn't seem to work even after doing your suggestion. I guess I need a different method. Thanks for the assistance though.
Same issue for me. Installed via twrp restarted, connected to bt headphones, also car, music would not play thru any player. Used advanced mode too. Appears to break things in 3.2.1 requiring a reflash to fix as deleting apps and editing build.prop didn't fix at all.
Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using XDA Forums PRO
it's possible to use viper on non-rooted device ?
i'm experiencing the same problem with my plantronics explorer 50 and onplus support told me that my device actually is not compatible.
Completly stock and no complains about bluetooth volume in my Volvo C70.
Certainly not with Music, for phone calls I should like it a little bit louder, but my Samsung S6 Edge is certainly not louder, and the audio quality for conversations (both ways) is even beter on the OP3.

Boost Headphone/Headset Volume?

Just wondering if anybody has managed to find a way to boost the headphone volume via usb c?
Previously I would just go into system/vendor/etc/mixer_gains.xml however it seems with our device we don't have this XML file.
The output volume is a bit too low for me, so I was hoping I'd be able to boost it as I have on all my devices in the past.

Low volume using Bluetooth or headphones jack in

Who is also facing low volume when using Bluetooth speakers or headphones? When I crank it up to the max it sounds like it's operating at maybe 60% or so. It also happens when I use wired headphones.
I'm using Xiaomi.eu ROM 12.0.7.0.

Yeah I'm getting the same problem with my Haylou GT1 Pros. On my old phone they were much bassier and louder at full volume to the point where I'd have them at 80% max, but now 100% doesn't sound anywhere near as loud. The way I get around this is using Volume Booster GOODEV (available on the Play Store). 11% is enough for me. Be careful not to blow your speakers!

In developer settings there's an option to "disable absolute volume" for Bluetooth. Try that.

That and check through/play with all the sound settings including the buried ones.
Find it... if you do a hard reset it will most likely just crop up again.

Audio issues because of settings misconfiguration is a common Samsung issue.
Fun times... and bad sound.

i was facing same problem while using GT1 pro with POCO X3. go to settings and there is a disable absolute volume in developers mode. turn off this option and boom. ur GT1 pro is on its full volume.
You need to go into volume adjustment(after you plug in the headphones" and pick the other preset, over 60...that fixes it

Question Is there another work around for BT low volume?

Using a F3 and the volume via Bluetooth is too low. I don't have the "absolute volume" under BT or developer setting. Is there any other work arounds to making the volume go higher?
Yeah I also noticed the same issue. The absolute volume option becomes available once you connect your bt device to the phone. Although turning it off doesn't seem to make a difference.

Thought someone would have a work around by now.
You could try a different version of Bluetooth I suggest 1.4 and that still don't work then try another Bluetooth device if you still have low volume then install custom ROM
