LOW Bluetooth Volume - OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers

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...

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.

Thanks for the link. Now I need to figure out how to increase the gain on my Bluetooth headset. Any suggestions?

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.

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.

SJ Headphone Equalizer

Im having problems getting the headphone equalizer to work. It works fine for one song but as soon as the next track starts or if i skip forwards or backwards to the next or previous track it resets to flat. This happens if I set the equalizer then click OK and go back to the audio manager or if i start the song going and then change the equalizer and leave the equalizer running.
Anyone know if im doing something wrong or is it a problem with the equalizer?

Try this instead.. Install on device and soft reset..
Thanks for the cab. It works well but I prefer the sound of the 5 band equalizer without SRS.I listen to a lot of drum and bass and SRS boosts the treble too much.
Anyone else had any sucess with the SJ Equalizer?

I don't realy like it either sounds strange, perhaps it works better with the crappy headphones that came with the device but with a nice pair of phones it just sounds strange no matter how I set it up.
After searching another forum then getting linked backed to this forum I found Pocketmusic. It works great,looks great and sounds amazing.

Fix for audio delay through bluetooth?

I wonder if there is any fix to the A2DP bluetooth problem where the sound comes from the speakers with a little delay. It gets annoying when using the Nav and you have to listen to the instructions.
I tried the same with my Galaxy Tab and it does not suffer this inconvenience, so it is related to this device.
Any one have a clue?
Hey bro, I have this problem too!
It worked just fine with my previous phone.
Did you end up finding a fix?
Thanks!
I'm also wondering, if there's a fix for that problem. In my car, I often miss the first words of a call, that's somehow annoying...
A lot depends on the kernel that you and yes there firmware on your phone.

Hi, would you know where we would likely find any trustworthy patched kernels?
The ones I've tried from this site are just garbage...there's always something that doesn't work. I'm willing to pay a decent amount of money...

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.

Help( headphone always on, no output from speakers or earpiece)

Current rom: Bootleggers
Kernel tried : Heliox v2
Kernel tried : ARBeastR6
I tried clean wipe but still the problem sustains, the headphone automatically connects (wired headset) and after that there is no output from speaker and earpiece except for call connecting sound and ringtone sound from speaker, before headphone connect sign is shown everything works fine
I thinks its mostly problem of the headphone jack
Am i right? or its something else?
That's what happened with me i was using pixel experience with AR Beast and suddenly the exact problem happened and i tried another ROMs like Zui 3.5 but still the problem was there and then i slept and when i woke up the problem was gone idk how.

What is this problem? Any particular thing you remember doing?
Did your phone came in contact with water?
No I don't think it came in contact with water because loudspeaker was working fine during calls. I think that was a problem of kernel (not sure)

Tried it , no difference.
Although temporary i found an app which gets the job done switching between speaker and headphone its good
It's a hardware failure. Seems like your headphones Jack is messed up; happened to my Redmi note 3 as well. Try cleaning it up with cotton bud or something. If it doesn't work, you can try some black market and see if they can replace it separately without changing the motherboard.
Issues solved.. It got resolved by itself, mostly it way due to some hardware problem in headphone jack
Thanks for all the help.
Peace ✌?

Bluetooth Audio SUPER Quiet...I've tried Everything! LOL Please Help :)!

Hello everyone !
I am in love with this phone except for the fact that all of my bluetooth speakers and ear buds play at a SUPER low volume! All settings on max, checked dev options and couldn't see anything under audio that seemed to help, downloaded dozens of apps that seemed to make little to no difference, and also tried my very first ever ADB with computer and had no luck!
PLEASE tell me someone has solved this? This seems to be the elusive problem on the internet about this phone!
TIA !!!

Thanks so much for the quick reply!
I don't have absolute volume as an option in dev options for some reason! I can't find it anywhere which I thought was strange? Is there another way to access it??
Also my earbuds seem to be in good working condition for other devices.
Also in huawei I can't seem to find the clear cache option either - I have searched forever online and can't find it! The screenshots or app instructions seem to look different!
Any help with those? thanks!!!

Parodn me, when i type re-pair i meant do a RE-Pairing of bluetooth device to phone, aka un-pair then re-pair phone to device.
no idea why you do not have syn absolute volume in dev options
to clear cach u need to go setting=>app=> then click on the 3 dots on the top right of phone screen and tap show system process
there u will see Bluetooth and Bluetooth MIDI
clear data/cache for both to give it a try
Thanks so much ! I did exactly that and no luck! I appreciate the help, but yes I'm not sure at all why there is absolute volume option...Google for some reason isn't helping! Hope someone can !!! So frustrating !
SO frustrating still nothing is working !!!!
Perhaps you could try third party software like RE Equalizer from the Google Play store. You can boost volume with it.
