Sync bluetooth device volume with phone volume - Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers

Hello,
I'm running MIUI 9.5.3.0 Global on my Mi6 and I still cannot control master volume from BT device and vice versa. I have Anker bt buds and jbl clip 2 and both work with separate volume controls. One on the device and one on the phone. Everytime I have to max the phone and the bt device to get max volume.

UP.
Anyone with ideas?

The only time I saw Bluetooth volume synchronization was on my xiaomi redmi note 3 pro running some pure-based android version. I've never seen that function in miui.
So maybe you should try some aosp etc. Roms

Headset button not working properly

I've recently bought the xiaomi hybrid Pro (I previously had the piston 3) and realised that the control buttons doesn't work properly on my phone only.
The central button (play/pause) activate both the pause and/or the vol+ signals in a "random" way. This appens on my phone only. I've tested both the hybrid Pro and the piston 3 with other phones and both works properly. The piston 3 works properly on my phone too.
I'm on mi5s 3gb xiaomi eu 7.10.12 with supersu. Headphone tested with stock music app, Google music, Spotify and Android Headset Tester.
Can someone help me understand this problem?

[Q] Remembered Bluetooth Volume for multiple devices?

On my Nexus 6 it remembers volume levels for each Bluetooth device. Useful when the car BT is 100% but then when you connect BT it doesn't blow out my ear drums.
I notice the Pixel 2 XL doesn't do this and seems to remember only what the BT volume was last set at.
Any idea how to do this, other than an app like Tasker?
I'm finding that when I get in my car, my phone bluetooth volume reverts to some low level, not the previously used level. I always have to manually bring bring the volume up to 100%. My car is the only bluetooth device I have paired with my phone.
I seem to recall that my Nexus 6 (when connected to the same bluetooth) would recall the previous volume level.

Hum... Maybe it was a feature of the ROMs I was using on my Nexus 6

I should have mentioned, I was running Lineage OS on the Nexus 6 and stock Android on the Pixel 2 XL.
Wonder if it has to do with Absolute Volume (where Volume on your Bluetooth devices now syncs with volume on your phone).
Go into Developer Options and try selecting "Disable Absolute Volume" and see if that helps.

2 bluetooth speakers at once problem

Hello, i have problem with my Redmi Note 5 global. I can not connect to two bluetooth speakera at once, and even when i finnaly connect, then only one plays sound. The problem was on MIUI9, have not tested on MIUI10 beta. Is there option to enable dual audio or something? Note 5 is bluetooth 5.0 device so i was suprised
Developer Options setting, but your bluetooth speakers would also need to support multiple streams.
I can connect two speakers, but only one will actually play sound at a time.

Android auto - Redmi note 5 pro - no sound or very very less sound on car speakers

Android version: 8.1.0.opm1.171019.011
Miui: 10.2.20
Car: Ford ecosport
When I play music/use navigation in my car's head with the phone connected, no sound or very less sound is heard.
I am using Redmi note5 pro from about 8 months, the sound was working fine but not from last month.
Debug:
1. If I turn off Bluetooth (AA will automatically turn on BT after I turn off but sound starts to play in the car)
2. If I turn on "Do not disturb" mode also the sound is played.
3. Sound issue resurfaces after I skip a couple of songs, not while music is playing but when the song changes to the next one.
Also with Redmi note 5 pro there is a serious connectivity issue I believe.
My wife's phone( Redmi note 4) always connects without any connectivity or sound problem, but my phone always won't connect(I wil have to try a couple of times) and if connects doesn't play sound(I will have to do the trick of BT or DND).
Doesn"t safe volume level warning kick in after some time ? (it reduces maximum volume )

Low Volume Bluetooth Wireless Earbuds Problem

Hello there fellow Xiaomi users, I have a problem with my Bluetooth earbuds and it's driving me insane! I hope you can help me out. When I connected my newly purchased bluetooth sony earbuds (the model is WF-XB700) I noticed that the volume was really low, maybe 50% less than it should've been. I was perplexed, but had a couple of quick ways to determine the problem. I connected the earplugs to a Iphone 8 and they worked just fine, 100% of their capacity. Then I connected my Xiaomi Mi 2A lite to some other bluetooth headphones (model Pioneer se-ms7bt) and they also worked as they should've. Then I connected the earbuds to a Xiaomi Mi A3 and to my surprise, I could also detect the Low Volume Issue there too! So, it must be something Android/Xiaomi related.
Then I went on a really energy draining odyssey on google to find a solution. What I did find was, firsty, that it was a known issue and secondly, that the myriad of solutions presented did not help me at all. This is a list of the things I tried, some of which spawned problems too :
1) Disabling absolute volume in developer settings.
2) Tinkering with all the options in the develper option - even the following (I will copy paste in from an other thread , which according to many people has worked :
Enable Developer Options (options -> system -> about phone -> click build number 7 times)
Press back
Go to settings, and search AVRCP.
Click on Bluetooth AVRCP Version and ensure it is on 1.6.
Next, search for Absolute
Select Disable Absolute Volume and turn this toggle on, if it isn't already.
Unpair all Bluetooth devices. Restart your device. Pair the devices again. To the right of each Paired Bluetooth device in the Bluetooth settings page is a gear icon, go into each device and turn off the Phone Calls toggle, leaving only Media audio enabled.
Exit settings, connect to the Bluetooth device, start playing something. Increase the volume using the volume up button and rejoice as the volume goes as loud as you need!!!
3) Putting the volume up in the Sony Headphones app. - So, officially the app doesn't support the WF-XB700. There are two options for detection. The first is a list of the supported devices (mine is not there) and the other is a ,,detect via bluetooth''. Tried the second option but it doesn't work
4) Increasing the volume on the physical buttons on the device. Mine are earbuds and have only one button for on/off
5) Ensuring the eartips are tightly fit in my ear.
6) Making sure the earbud isn't blocked by anything.
7) Resetting the phone
8) Changing the Region - This I actually did not succeed in doing. It turns out that the option to change the region has been removed. If there is a way to do it, please inform me.
9) Trying all the volume booster apps in the store.
10) Restart or enable and disable airplane mode
11) Forgeting and pairing the device again
Could the bluetooth version difference be the problem. Mine is 4.2 and the buds are 5.0. According to google there should't be a difference regarding the sound volume/quality, only range and connection strenght. Please help me, I have wasted more than five hours already and I ran out of options to try. Thanks in advance !

Xiaomi removes Bluetooth codecs intentionally from this phone (and seems like from Mi A3 too). Because Xiaomi dont want to pay 1$ fee for codec. Thats why it works as expected on iPhone. It's all about greediness.
Same codec issue is proper on Miui roms too. This means Redmi 6 Pro has an Bluetooth codec issue too. We can probably say same thing (according to ur first post) for Mi A3 and for its Miui version Xiaomi Mi CC9e.
- Redmi 6 Pro
- Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite
- Xiaomi Mi A3
- Xiaomi Mi CC9e
All of them probably has same issue. I didnt use any flagship of Xiaomi or any other Android phone since Jelly Bean so cant say anything about other brands except Apple. I used an iPhone between those times. iPhones has proper bluetooth codecs. You cant fix it via resetting ur phone or something like that.
SBC is the default codec and none of others will work.
Qualcomm is the owner of these aptX, aptX LL, aptX HD, aptX Adaptive audio codecs. We have an qualcomm chipset on our phone too but xiaomi didnt want to pay for these to earn more money from us. So thats why we are stuck on SBC. Dont buy any android device just by looking its specs from websites. Check out everything in the shop (bluetooth, camera,..etc.) before buy.
