smart connect and bluetooth volume - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

basically I have a smart tag and I instruct the phone to connect to the SBH20 bluetooth receiver in my car.
although I also instruct volume to go up to the highest level but since it's bluetooth there is an independent bluetooth volume which does not go up upon instruction.
any ideas or work around?

I can't help on this one, but I have a similar requirement for my Xperia Z1 compact.
Did you ever found a way to do this?

Help using bluetooth headset with xperia x1

Hi, i have spent some time searching now and since i couldn't find this anywhere i decided to post here, hope someone can help me.
Recently, i bought the official sony playstation 3 bluetooth headset (http://www.us.playstation.com/PS3/Accessories/SCPH-98095) and i have connected it to my xperia x1 through bluetooth (running with itje's touch-it xperience v13.2), the problem is, it only outputs sound for the voice calls, i can't listen to music on it or the normal phone sounds. I know it would be mono sound and not high quality, but i would like to listen to the sound anyway sometimes because its better then leaving it silent.
i have tried in the bluetooth configuration window, clicking in advanced, editing the wireless device profile, thre it was marked hands-free, i clicked refresh and headset appeared, i marked it, then the headset disconnects. when i reconnect it, it auto demarks headset, or it doesnt connect.
I have looked around to see if it was the bluetooth headset problem, but i have not seen anyone else complaining about this or even mentioning it can't play the phone sounds (just some complains about the ps3 sounds not outputing but thats the ps3 fault), and i have also searched to see if it is x1s fault but haven't managed to find an answer as well, so if anyone can plz help i would really appreciate it. Thanks.
thats pretty much because its no BUG.
what u want is a a2dp headset. something tells me that the ps3 headset doesn has this feature. normal headset just route voice calls while a2dp headset route everything.
actually, i didnt use the word bug because i though that might be the case
it has the headset and handsfree profile, not a2dp, but what i wasnt sure if it really needed to have de a2dp profile to output normal sounds, from what i've read it seems it is needed to output stereo high quality sounds, but just sounds with low quality would work for me, thats why im asking, i though the headset profile would be enough for that.
so if i get your message right, unless it has specifically the a2dp profile, there is no other way of making the sound output on the headset, low or high quality?
now i know there might be a way to make it work.
i was listening to some music today using the music player that comes with touchflo 3d, then i pressed the talk button of my bluetooth headset to issue a voice command (with the microsoft voice command program), then the music started playing in my headset while it was waiting for the voice command, once it got the command the music went back to the phone.
Does anyone know any way to make my headset keep playing the sounds, or could at least explain what happens when i press the talk button so i have an idea of where to look to see if find a way?
no one can help me with this? not any tip or a way to select a different output for audio or anything like that?
Also an issue with Audio Gateway
I have tested this issue on two seperate headsets, and so far can get the Xperia to work ONLY as hands free. Seperate phones sperate headsets. The other phone pushed audio thru to the headset whereas the X1 only routes calls.
I also cant find much of this on XDA or anywhere else?
Help?
Regards
i used an ad2p software downloaded from here when i had this issue with my lg ks20. But i havent the gut or im just lazy to try this app on the x1. Maybe u should give that ad2p software a try.

How can I pair a Bluetooth headset?

I've got a Verizon tab and am trying to connect to a Bluetooth headset so I can make video calls with Fring or something else with a little more privacy than using the speakerphone.
I can't get the tab to find the headset!
I have successfully paired with a Bluetooth keyboard, mouse, and the Jawbone Jambox. While the audio out on the Jambox works fine, the built in mic does not work for speakerphone calls with the tab either.
Anyone have any idea what I can do?
Refer to the headset menu to perform a hard reset on it (on a nokia headset this done by simultaneously pressing power and action buttons till it alternates its LED between red and green). Activate the bluetooth on the tab and make it discoverable. In bluetooth setting scan for devices till the headset appears.
Same Issue

I have a TMobile tab with the same problem. It connects to my btooth antenna, but not my two btooth headsets.
My headset bluetooth also facing the same problem. I read the manual and it say i have to press the answer button for more than 8 second as a hard reset to the headset. Later my tab can detect the headset.
You should read the manual and try to do hard reset to your headset

Can't seem to find out how to reset the headset. Nothing in the manual or Google (it's a Samsung HM1100).
It's weird - the Astro Bluetooth network shows the headset in its Bluetooth explorer but the GT will not even see the device to pair to.
Firstly you open bluetooth under setting, wireless & network. Press scan for bluetooth. Result, it will not show any bluetooth found. Press back button once only. And again open bluetooth setting. Then you will see all bluetooth devices already detected.
This is a bug. I happen all the time to me.
Please try it

[Q] Headset hardware wiring config

Hi,
When playing video or music, the original headset that came with this phone works without any problem.
The only button on the headset is able to pause/resume the movie.
When i tried another headset (meant for Sony Ericsson phone), the sound seems partially muted.
The only button on the headset somehow can un-mute the headset, but only when i press and hold the button.
The headset was tested working fine on Sony Ericsson phone.
Both headsets seems to be wired differently. Is there anyway to config the Sony Ericsson headset to work properly?
The apps i found inside google play does not seem to be able to solve the partial mute problem.
Please advice or point me in the right direction. Thanks.

[Q] Bluetooth audio problem

Hi,
Does anyone else has problems with bt audio. When I connect my Sennheiser px 210 Bt and press play, the volume is really high and all I get is static and it almost breaks my headphones. I have to turn bt off from phone and reactivate it, then it works correclty. Does anyone else have this problem or did I get faulty unit?
No issues here, using Sony Bluetooth headphones. Pairs fine with NFC
No volume issues with the kinuvo bluetooth module i use for my car. My problem is that the phone does not respond to the play button but does respond for pause (even though it's the same button)
Sent from my C6906 using xda app-developers app
I get the same thing. If you disconnect and reconnect (from bt properties on the phone, not the device itself) it will work but you have to do it everytime you want to use the device.
Download https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.devmil.xperiabluetoothmediafix&hl=en_GB for a workaround (it auto disconnects and reconnects when you start the device so you don't have to do it manually).

I have Sennheiser too, but an older one, MM100. Plays very well every time, no noise or distortion.

Is there a way to get bluetooth profiles?

One thing I miss about my moto x is that it had bluetooth profiles for each device paired. That meant if I could set half volume on one bluetooth device and full volume on another and it would remember it whenever I connected to any of the devices. On the N6 I constantly have to decrease the volume when I'm connected to my car after being connected to my headphones. Do any of the ROMS out there provide this feature?
Thanks
