Hi
Something a little weird with my Optimus 2x. When I have bluetooth headphones connected, sometimes I loose all volume control. Today I was hitting the volume on the headphones, and it wasn't changing. When I turn down the volume on the phone, the sound dips to really quiet for a second or two, then jump back up to where it was.
My headphones are HELIUM DIGITAL HDBT-700
Any thoughts?
Thanks
So, I found out the problem is the Power Amp app. Everything works fine when I use the stock music player.
That's unfortunate; Power amp is a good player. Also the stock music widget is pretty ugly.
Is there a replacement for the stock music widget?
i know of phantom music control, and there's probably more.
phantom music control is compatible with most media player apps, has several button themes, and has the ability to hide itself when no music is playing.

Anyone have any info on this?
My old Orbit2 used to continue to play music through HTC Audio Player as well as Windows Media Player however now if I tap the power button to put device into sleep mode the music pauses.
Anyone have any suggestions/fixes for this?
Any help would be appreciated.
Not sure of Orbit as I do not own one.
But all the WinMo device I have are behaving the way you describe in TD2.
There is apps inside or 3rd party which you can just switch the display off (not the power off), So the device is not off but the display off can save you a lot of battery.
Yeah, I got an app touchlock pro that turns the display off.
Just a bit annoying that I had the problem on the orbit 1, was fixed on the orbit 2 and now the problem is back on the topaz.
Still its a minor thing I suppose - Rest of the functionality seems great so far
Just a little update on this if anyone was interested.
Upon further experimentation I have discovered that i using my bluetooth headset for music playback i can now lock the phone by holding down the end call key and then press the power button to turn the display off whilst maintaing music playback.
Not sure if this works when using a wired headset but it did not seem to work just playing out of the speaker minus the headset.
My D2 continues to play music with the screen off using both coreplayer and windows media player.
EDIT: I thought I would double check - strange, today it stops the music! I know for a fact the other night I was listening to music and the screen was (almost) definitely off. I will investigate further.
EDIT2: I thought further and I know it was playing music with the screen off. I know this because I was happy that the volume buttons still worked.
I just did some checking.
When the headphones are plugged in the music continues playing when you turn off the screen and the volume buttons continue to adjust the volume.
Without the headphones plugged in the music stops when you turn off the screen.
Thanks for that, not actually used the wired headset before but what you have said is correct. it is a shame the same method for bluetooth stereo wasnt implemented or perhaps its just my bluetooth headset. looks like might have to get the wired headset out for a bit.
Hey, is there a way to skip songs with the headset we got?
i never noticed this until today.... how annoying, i just finished loading up my new microSD.
If anyone has a fix for this, please post
Thanks!
Mine appears to be fixed now when using my bluetooth headset or the wired headset But still stops if playing through the phone speaker.
I use a Jabra BT8010 bluetooth headset, and the music continues to play after pressing the power button. The music is shut off if playing through the phones speaker....this is the same as my previous phone (htc TYTN II)
The button on the headphones is too ingrained with the media player.
When I am listening to a podcast with Google Listen, and I pause it, it pauses just fine.
But when I press the button on the headphones (sony ipod compatible ones or the ones that came with the captivate), Listen starts back up, but so does the built in media player. I end up with Rich Eisen talking about Mike Vick and 10,000 maniacs at the same time.
I checked in the media player settings, and there is nothing for the button function.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
STRANGE BUG
The first time I faced this issue, I ignored it, but this issue cropped up again yesterday while I was listening to music.
Issue - I am using Player Pro as the music player on my HTC One. When I play music through the Player Pro application, the music starts at a very deafening volume level when using headphones. Even the volume rocker is of no help. I tried reducing the volume and I reached the last point on the music volume scale, but the music sound level was not reduced.
I then tried using the stock player to listen to music and it very well responded to the volume rocker and I could control the level of the music. What could be wrong here? Is this a bug?
Another instance, I connected my Bluetooth headset (Dell BH200) to HTC One and was listening to music on the same player " Player Pro". As usual the same problem, the volume rocker doesnot control the music level. I then tried to reduce the volume through the control of my bluetooth headset and I was able to reduce the volume.
Could this be issue with the player or the phone.
This same apk file which I used to install the app Music Pro to listen to music on my HTC One was used to install on HTC Desire S and it worked FLAWLESSLY! I was very happy with the player. What could be wrong here?
Hi. On AHRD 41.0. I got new jay bird blue tooth headphones for Xmas. When I start streaming music the leu tooth volume maxes out and the slider doesn't hold the lowered volume consistently. I have been reading that this is an issue. Are there any mods /tweaks out there that people use? I have been combing threads and not finding anything useful. Thanks.

I fell back to 4.3 ahrd 31.6 and all is well. Kit kat is the issue.
Upgraded from 4.3 to HTC One Developer Edition on 4.4 w/ Sense 5.5
Had bluetooth jumping issue. A reboot fixes the issue if the first app used is stock music app.
Basically
Connected a bluetooth headphones to phone.
Volume button on headphone and volume button on phone work fine with Stock Android Music Player.
When Pandora is launched, bluetooth volume jumps to maximum setting on device - very deafening!
Hitting volume down button on headset OR on phone, moves the volume lower, but it continually jumps up to highest setting. Therefore unable to reduce volume in Pandora. Using bluetooth volume via the onscreen slider works, but it is still too loud at the lowest setting. The same behavior on the lock screen or if phone is asleep. The same effect continues to occur while Pandora is on the "Now Playing" screen or if I leave Pandora on the "Now Playing" screen. Using stock music app now has the same issue.
If the Pandora app is set to go to the "main screen" which displays "stations" bluetooth control of the volume is returned to normal. Both the controls on the headphone and on the phone work properly whereas pandora volume, bluetooth volume and headphone volume is all in sync. The volume jumping around stops. Now if I leave the Pandora app running and got to home screen, lock screen or allow the phone to sleep. The bluetooth volume works fine and doesn't jump around.
Going back into "now playing screen" or leaving pandora in "now playing" screen causes issues.
If you don't have pandora, check what other apps you have that running that are using music output to headphone.
Sideloading Pandora 4.4 apk fixes issues. Sideloading 5.0 re introduces the issue.

Great. This is helpful. Thank you for your reply.
I am filled with red hot rage whenever I switch apps which use sound (music player, video player, game) and the volume is different. For example, I was listening to music on max volume with my headphones on this morning while walking to work. At work right now I'm testing apps with the volume all the way down so I don't bug my colleagues, but in one of the tests I needed sound. So I plug in my headphones, the music player kicks in and it's played at max volume. I have the music player set to autostart when I plug in headphones for other reasons, but why doesn't it take on the volume I've just set? Why does it need it' own volume setting?
Is it possible to have a module which just uses one volume setting for all apps? You lower the volume to 50% in MX player, it stays on 50% in Poweramp, Trials, Elevate or any other app.
AFAIK, this is not a standard Android behavior. Looks like your player app is trying to remember the last volume
setting it was playing with to later use it when it starts again. Try taking it up with the app developer.
If that's the case, there should at least be an option within app for such behavior.
It's been my experience that if you have the volume ALL the way down (vibrate), plugging in the headphones will turn the volume up. If you just have your volume low but not all the way down, plugging in the headphones won't change the volume. That's just anecdotal, though, so maybe I'm wrong. Is that consistent with what you're experiencing?
