hello.
I have very annoying problem since day one on my Galaxy S I9000 with FroYo. The volume on headset(original) is too low, barely audible, unless I press and hold the button that is on the headset. I have tried to hook up stereo speakers with 3.5mm jack and they have very low volume as well. I have tried headphones from motorola and blackberry - same thing - low volume unless holding the headset button.
I have Hannspree Hannspad SN10T1 as well and it has the same problem, it runs android 2.2. No matter what volume boosting apps I use the problem persists on both devices.
P.S. Same headsets (samsung original, blackberry, and motorola) I used to test both devices - work perfectly on my motorola defy phone. So I presume that the headsets are OK. It must be something wrong with Galaxy S and Hannspad.
Both devices are hard resetted and non-rooted.
Any help will be apreciated.
Thanks

And you are sure that the plug is all the way down?

Absolutely sure. Even tried to pull it a bit, but then just one of the headphones working. The plug goes all the way down as it should, still very low volume.
I can't be the only one with two completely different devices running android 2.2 that share absolutely the same problem.
Is there any software that can swap channels on the headsets? or swap channel for the microphone with one of the speakers, because it seems to be non-propperly configured channels to me.
Any other suggestions?
the pin-out configuration for these phones are different from most and the only headsets that i know that are compatible are nokia headsets. theres also adapters you can buy that will convert the wires the right way so the earphones/mic/button all work properly.
this one is confirmed to work: http://www.meelec.com/MEE_TRRS_Adapter_for_P_Version_Headphones_p/adptr-trrs-35.htm
Thank you very much for clearing that out evil-doer !
I will try one of those.
I thought - when I had this problem - that my headset was defect. So I bought a new one from eBay.
Everything is nice so far - The new one is working great.
I hadn't the chance to test if it's working on another device.
is there to solve this through the service mode?
Hi,
When pairing up with a Loewe Speaker2Go Bluetooth speaker using aptX my Sony Z3 compact defaults to max volume and the volume control is not configurable from the phone (I am aware this is a KitKat "feature"). The main problem is that this only allows a small scale on the speaker between no sound and very loud sound (3-4 volume presses). Has anyone experienced this kind of problem with other speakers and is there a solution? Thanks,

I paired a Bluetooth Stereo Headset, LG HBS-800, has aptX. When they are connected, I can press the volume rocker on the Z3C and it'll pop up a Bluetooth Volume. My headset has its volume control and works independently.
Yeah, same on my Sony Bluetooth Headphones. Volume control via volume rockers both on phone and headphones (independantly).
My SuperTooth Disco 4 Wireless Portable Bluetooth and NFC Speaker when connected, I get a Bluetooth Volume slider. Apparently it uses the aptX protocol too.
No issue here with the Definitive Technology Cube. NFC, Throw, AptX, and Bluetooth all works together in harmony.
It's a bit of a shame for the OP as that item is pretty expensive that it does that, when much cheaper speakers don't. Odd.
It is a shame as the speaker is very good and worked perfectly with earlier versions of android. Based on the compatibility list it has not been tested with 4.4+ though... Based on the previous replies I guess it is not a sony problem as other Bluetooth aptx devices can still be controlled from the phone. For the devices this works with is the volume in sync on the phone and speaker?
My speaker is controlled entirely by the phone, it has no volume controls itself.
Ok, this seems to be an issue with the Loewe speaker and not the Z3C. I've just been to an hi fi store and tried pairing the phone with a number of Bluetooth aptX speakers, including AudioPro T9, AudioPro T10, Marshall Stanmore and the Sony SRS-X9 and with all these devices I could control the volume from the phone as well. Will check one more thing on the Loewe when I get back home - it had phone and media pairing on (not just media like the other speakers) so maybe this is the problem. If not, looks like the firmware on the Loewe does not support Android 4.4+.
I am having a similar issue but it presents itself when going above the 4th notch on the Bluetooth volume on my XZ3C. Volume goes from 0% to %15 to 30% to 80% to 60% and 70%. When my computer connects to the same bluetooth audio dongle it has a smooth range. I suspect it is a problem with the XZ3C protocols that interfere with certain bluetooth devices and not a hardware problem.
I have the same issue with my JBL speaker. I can't change the volume on the speaker without the Bluetooth volume on the phone rising or reducing. It seems that there isn't any independent control using my z3 compact but if I pair it with my LG g2, it works independently.
Same here with the Jensen Scandinavia Buddy. My Z3C cannot control the volume but my Galaxy S2 running Cyanogenmod at 4.4.4 can.
Still an issue after upgrading to Lollipop.
the good, the bad and the funny
Xperia Z3 Compact, Android 5.0.2
I connect my phone to a Philips BTB 7150 home audio system.
- the phone does not change the volume of the audio system upon connect (good)
- i cannot control the volume of the audio system through the phone's volume rocker (bad)
- when i change the volume directly on my audio system whilst connected with my phone, the phone shows the Bluetooth Volume popup and the slider moves in sync (funny)
So there seems to be some kind of control connection, but only one way.
On the other hand: no problems with iOS devices here. When connected to an iPhone the phone controls the system's volume and system volume changes are reflected on the phone's volume setting.

Xperia Z3 Compact D5803, Android 5.0.2 (Nordic stock ROM, no hacks)
Home hi-fi system with Philips BT adaptor: phone can control the BT audio volume output (as expected)
Home mini hi-fi system: phone can control the BT audio volume output (as expected)
Car BT audio system: phone can control the BT audio volume output (as expected)
JBL Charge BT speaker: phone cannot control the BT audio volume output (oops) ; I need to use the speaker's volume control
So, quite a few gadgets work well, but in fact my JBL speaker suffers from the same problem, which I never realised before.
Is it a speaker BT standards problem ?
Or is there something in the phone's BT implementation that needs refining ?
Same Problem here
I have the following problem:
I use the Z3 compact with a Sony BM-10 BT audio receiver. When a make a call with my BT headset which is not set to maximum volume the volume of the music is set to maximum from time to time afterwards. Also the volume slider shows the BT symbol or loudspeaker or the throw symbol randomly. I tried many things to solve this as pairing the BT devices again. Anyone any idea?
I have small problem.
After connecting headphones nuforce ne-600x my z3c goes volume down automaticly. Like i would press volume down constatnly. This isue does not happen in other headphones, anyway connecting nuforce ne-600x to other smartphones does not makes such strange behavior.
Anyone faced simmilar problem and know solution?
Hello all,
I have seen this bug in many motorola phones. Pls find bug explanation below.
Everytime when i connect headset in 3.5mm jack, audio volume and ringtone volume goes down automatically and even goes to DND mode.
I found temporary fix by playing some audio while connect headset jack, which avoids this issue.
Anyone knows permanent fix, please reply.
It happens only when I connect headset of samsung with other head set it works great
So I thik it is just compatibility problem
I was also having problems with a Sony headphones. What I did was to remap the volume down button for headphone.
I think it's not a bug but feature. The phone maintains the status of volume level differently for the case when headphone is inserted and when the headphone is not inserted.
I don't have evidence for this, though but as much as I've observed, that's how it works.
The issue is due to the difference in architecture of 3.5mm headphone pin the inner architecture of the Moto phone is built according to it's headsets.
When you connect other headset eg. Boat it hits the inner plate which is responsible to lower down the volume as in some headsets there is option to decrease and increase the volume.
Power button will also not work by the time as the phone senses that lower volume rocker is being pressed simultaneously.
Solution : Screen off your phone plug in the headphones screen on and use it.
I am facing a strange problem on my V40 (Indian variant).
It has no issues in connecting to my car's head-unit automatically (after the initial pairing), however, once i get out of my car (Bluetooth still on) and then plug-in my earphones (headset which came with the box), it thinks i am connected to a call and shows the "in-call" volume controls whenever i try to adjust volume. Also, the sound is very distorted at lower levels (<10%) and toggling the quad-dac option does not have an effect..
This persists even if i switch off blue tooth on my phone.
Only if i do a restart, the phone again recognizes the earphones properly (and quad-dac works again).
Tried this with various headsets (earphones with mic) and result is same; also tried clearing cache/doing a factory reset but the problem still persists. Note that it doesn't happen when I plug-in a earphone/headset without mic (it works properly as expected); but the issue is when we plug-in an earphone with mic.
Are any of you facing a similar issue, i googled but could not find a resolution. :crying:
