I use a hands free Bluetooth speaker while driving in my truck. Since I have had my Vivid I have not been able to get the volume to increase. I have used the rocker on the handset and on the speaker itself to no avail. It stays at the same volume whether I go up or down. I tried another speaker I have and it's the same thing. I also tried my Samsung Bluetooth earpiece and it also does the same thing. What could be going on. I only use hands free to talk on phone calls when I need to. Any suggestions? Do I have a bad handset? This is my only issue with the Vivid, other than that I love it.
So when you disconnect your Bluetooth the volume works?

I do not have any issues with volume for anything else whether I'm connected to Bluetooth or not.

It's probably just your phone, though it can still be your BT speakerphone. I use my Vivid with Parrot BT hardwired into my car stereo and have no issues with either calling or music streaming.

Hi guys...
Is anyone using Sony Ericsson MW600 bluetooth headset with your Incredible S??
One of my friends has a weird problem... The headset works well as long as it is connected.. Once he disconnects the headset, the microphone of the handset stops working.. I mean if he takes a call normally through the phone after disconnecting the headset, nothing can be heard on the other side... Only thing is a constant buzz....
Please help in sorting this issue... Has it got to do anything with applications installed??

I'm using this headset with Inc S too. But I didn't recognize this issue. The only thing, I noticed is, that I can only make calls over the headset, when it's connected. On stock Rom the phone recognized over the sensor, when I held it on the ear and i could speak over the build-in microphone.
But when I disconnect it I can phone normally.
I'm using Icecold Sandwich 6.2
Did you try another ROM or music player?

I tried to reproduce this issue but for me everything worked alright.
I often use Google play Music.

I've looked but can't find any help with this so I decided to finally ask. It's something I noticed with my last phone, a Sony xperia x10, and something ive noticed with my new phone, the HTC vivid. I plug my phone into my car's speakers when I drive so that I can listen to music and talk hands free. The problem seems to be that when I plug my audio cable in to the headphone jack the voice recognition stops working well. At first it will say it hears no audio, but if I yell loud enough sometimes it will work. It's something that I've seen with both my android phones consistently. Voice recognition is fine otherwise. Any idea what's going on or how to fix it? Thanks.

i am using a bluetooth stereo headset, and the stocked headphone with mic. when i get a call, i need to manually tap either speaker icon (in case of wired headphone) or bluetooth icon (in case of wireless) to get the voice in and out via headphones.
is this tapping necessary? cause when you don't have a free hand, it is quite inconvenience to do so. please advise.
I don't have to do that with my headphones. (I'm not using the stock ones though, so that may be it)

Have you tried just pushing the button on the headset, whether it'd be wired or wireless and see if it picks up the call? That's usually how it works unless you use auto answer when connected to headset

I have a bluetooth headset that I use for calls when I'm driving to comply with the law here in California, but I also have a nice speaker system in my car. Whenever I connect my headset, it forces all audio to come through the headset as well as call audio. I know that I can go into the bluetooth settings for my headset and deselect the setting for media audio, but I would hate to do that every time I get into my car.. I have an NFC tag in my car and use Tasker a bit, does anyone know how to set this as a default setting or automate the setting change when I use my nfc tag?

Are you sure those settings don't persist?
Yep, 100 percent. At least on ARHD they don't. I've tested it quite a bit...

That was the same with the M7. I believe that is supposed to do that. Just in case you are not wearing the blutooth at the moment.
I don't get that if I'm connected to Bluetooth headset I might not want to disturb people around me

Turn the ringer on your phone off, I leave mine on vibrate all the time and my Bluetooth still rings.
