**SOLVED** bluetooth headset in call volume

So as stated in the title, I can't adjust the in call volume when using the my Jabra BT160 headset. Regardless of how low or high I set the in call volume on the phone, the speaker volume on the headset doesn't increase.
the volume on the headset is all the way up and when I connect it to my motorola w490, i can adjust the volume just fine so the headset is not the problem for sure.
btw im running Open Touch 2.7
I've searched nearly every thread on the forum and tried every possible solution and go nowhere.
Any help?

so I found one last post that I decided to try out and it worked!

I found something that seems to improve the quality somewhat but I need others to verify because after playing with some many options I can not longer tell what is good and what is bad
Add the following key, by default it will NOT be there:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway\SpkVolume
DWORD:10
You do not need to reset the phone what you need to do is unpair your BT device and then pair it again for the settings to take.
Please try and post results.
Thanks.....

I had this key in the registry already, and it was set to 15. I increased it to 50, and the volume is comfortable for me at this level. This resolved the volume issue.
However, the metallic-like sound is still present, as is the crackle and pop. I guess that is a BT stack issue that will be resolved with an update. I'll keep my fingers crossed for that to happen

OMG!! THANK YOU BOTH
This worked on my WING device with Open Touch 2.7 rom
I dont know what the rest of you guys are doing wrong but this worked for me. The d word value Spk Volume [notice the space between spk and volume] was already in my Audiogateway directory set to default 10. I changed that to 50 as suggested by Vasquja . I soft reset and then repaired with my headset and VIOLA!
Problem solved.

Hi, this solution doesn't work on my energy rom.
Have you some other ideas for me?
thanks

Internal Speaker very quite while phoning

Hey there,
i have a problem since i got my One (april) but it seems to geeting worse. If i am on the phone its sometimes really hard to unterstand my partner because the speaker is so quite. I do not mean handsfree phoning, its just the internal speaker. It happens with all kinds of roms (rooted
+ s-off). Whats interesting, is that if the call is quite, and i go for handsfree it es quite as well, so i thinking about a software issue.
If i listen to musik the speaker is fine.
What could i do to search for the problem ? My phone is on the first hboot and running android 4.4 android revolution 41.0
any tips for me ?
thanks!

Their is a feature in the phone that lowers the volume of the ringtone when you pickup the phone ... it may be interfering with normal operation ..try disabling it
it's in Settings / Sound / Quiet ring on pickup and pocket mode

well their are a couple of other things .. there's a tiny mic on the backside of the phone that tells the phone your in a loud environment and to raise and lower in call volume, theirs a tweak to override it somewhere here on the forums .. I'll look for that. EDIT Found it >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2406524
The other thing is the actual speaker grill can get plugged up with debris have you tried cleaning those tiny holes ?

applied the mod. did not help as well.
I think theres really some sort of HW issue, because of all the different roms i used to use there was no changes.
maybe there is some sort of mini speaker in there with a problem, or a amplifier problem

It just drives us CRAZY!! and this problem is really SERIOUS! you just can't use your headphone during a voicecall....
I have tried 4+ different headphones for testing already, no luck. The issue still persisted!
THERE is also NO PROBLEM with these headphones and I'm actually not a newbie to android so I know I've already set the VOICE VOLUME to MINIMUM !
If you never start a voice call with headphone before (not including bluetooth headphones), just help me to do a test!
1. plug-in your headphone
2. start a voice call to test whether the volume is extremely loud or not with voice volume set to minimum.

I have reported the issue to ONEPLUS a half month ago already.
I also believe I am not the only one facing this problem, and this is also confirmed by other oneplus 5 users in community.
I hope users who is facing exactly same problem like me can reply to these two threads, urging ONEPLUS to speed up the progress!

Yes, same problem, loud call volume on headsets
Yes, noticed it on my very first call. Couldn't reduce the volume enough to be comfortable.
I also noticed that there are far fewer levels of volume available on the phone volume slider compared to for media volumes etc.
I needs a software fix or could someone suggest a volume control app or alternate dialer app?
I will look at the other threads / oneplus forum and comment there too, Cheers, S

I feel its OK and normal. Don't hear it too loud.

Same problem here, using the ear buds bought from OnePlus. Can barely put them in ear for calls. Extremely frustrating considering we can't edit the step sizes in OOS either.

Video call today with Hangouts with my wife and it almost blew my ears!
I instantly pull of the earphones from my ears.
What is even more disturbing is that the volume controls don't change ANYTHING. All reduced to lowest and the volume doesn't change a bit...
What is wrong with OnePlus?

they said it will be fixed on next OTA

yea i know, they informed me on 4th Sep
and i started to check ota update EVERY SINGLE DAY from 4th Sep
And now it is already 19th tho

I haven't installed the new 4.5.11 ROM.
Was this problem addressed? I didn't see it in the changelog..
Has anyone tested it?

Brand new OnePlus 5T. Used headphones on a call. nearly blew my ears off. Anyone know of an app to override the settings and make the volume lower?

All the people having this issue, are you using the EQ when listening to music and possibly not disabling that on the voice call?

I've never listed to music on the phone. I have an app for audiobooks but no EQ with it.

Solution for call headphone so loud
Hello,
The only one solution that I have found, is to root the phone with in order to install the Custom Kernel : Boeffla-Kernel
The App of this kernel let you reduce the sound of the headphone output so in communication with headphone you will have a volume as low as you want.
May be that others custom Kernel permits to do that,
Enjoy,
Tinoplus

is that real?
i means the "VOICE Volume" not the "MEDIA Volume"
Can Boeffla-Kernel modify VOICE Volume?

Also Voice Media

Bluetooh volume problem

Hi people,
So i got my new Realme x2 Pro yesterday. Overall i'm really happy with the phone. Today when commuting, i used the bluetooth earphones (sony wf1000-xm3) and... Surprise! the maximum volume is a third of what it was the they before yesterday with my htc u11.
I'm pretty sure it's an option of the OS that is screwing me up, but cannot find the fix. Someone has a similar problem to mine and a way to solve it?
i tried:
- disable the dobly atmos options in sound settings.
- on developer options: disable the absolute volume.
non of them worked.
Oh, forgot to say: I'm on the European version of the OS

I have the same setup and don't have issue with max sound .... have you tried putting the volume up via the headphones directly (touch gesture slide up on the right cup) ?

Hi Jake, It's The WF model, not WH (have them too). The WF does not have volume control (because there is no space to swipe)
but once i arrive home, i'll try what happens with the WH.

So, I'm trying now with the WH-1000xm3 and it's the same problem as the WF.
The maximum volume i'm getting is as best a third of what i had with the HTC U11.
There is something very wrong here.

So, at the end really was a problem with the headset.
no problem with the phone bluetooth.
please close the thread

Hi
I have experienced the same problem with a set of Bose earphones and a bluetooth speaker. The volume is significantly less than when these devices are used with any other mobile phone.
It is categorically an issue with the OS (unless I am missing something flagrant, or worse yet it is a hardware issue). Grateful for anyone's advice.

verify within the app of bose the volume of the headset (if you have the option there)

Thanks I will look into it, but these are fairly simple bluetooth earphones, not aware of any app optionality.
I note the December ColorOS updates included a bug fix for "low sound when connected to AirPods2 headset".
Would imply this is a wider issue.

I came across the same problem with the WF-1000XM3. I managed to fix it by changing one of the touch functions of the earphones to volume control. Then I just adjusted the volume on the earphones to the max and now I have full volume.
