Lenovo k3 Note Headset volume call volume is too low
i always need to put on speaker to talk on phone
cant listen in headset mode ..
i have installed mkt mode but i need to know which values i need to change
to increase calling volume.
thanks in advance..!
I have this problem as well.
The same problem exists in my father-in-law's device as well. We tried tweaking the parameters internally from the MTK Engineering mode, but it did not improve. Tomorrow I'm going to try some more stuff. I'm pretty sure it is not the hardware.
As per his reports, things are weird. He says that generally via BSNL sim only the volume is low. It is generally fine via the other sim (Jio). I also have to swap the cards and check.

Hi Guys, firstly apologies if this is in the wrong forum but I guessed the ROM chefs are probably the ones in the know when it comes to low-level software stuff like Bluetoot stacks...
Problem - When using a Jabra BT3030 headset Windows tells me “The connected Bluetooth headset does not support volume adjustment from the device. Adjust volume on the headset itself.”.
This means adjusting the volume in Windows doesn't effect the volume through Bluetooth (any volume that is, the "System" volume, the "Ring" volume or the volume control in any application).
Trouble is, the volume control on the headset is pretty limited, even at minimum volume the headset is still way too loud.
On my old phone (Tytn2) this wasn't a problem, I was able to adjust the volume on the phone itself.
Does anyone know the reasons behind this and if there is a workaround / ROM that I can use to fix it?
(On the Stock HTC ROM, 1.19.401.0)
Can anyone even confirm whether this is something that is changed via an OS ROM upgrade or whether it is changed via a Radio ROM upgrade?
Has anyone even had this issue at all?!?

I have exactly the same issue. Verbatim.
Its probably the issue with compatibility of the headset with tp2. I have moto695 and I can adjust volume just fine in any ROM.
Since the stock rom, htc have changed the bluetooth stack as it was not working to well with bluetooth head sets. (i.e. voice command would not work from the headset).
With the latest stack communication with headsets is much better (i.e. voice command works)
Perhaps changing your rom to a later version would solve your problem as well.
I have the exact same headset and it seems that volume only can be adjusted by using the volumebuttons on the headset. I'm using the NRG ROM and I haven't noticed any notifications about volumelevels.
I have a problem with my unrooted Xperia Z with a locked bootloader. My main speaker does not work for any media like music games or videos, but works fine for loudspeaker calls. Also the earpiece speaker doesnt work at all. Another problem i found was that my microphone would not work at all unless it was in a call and i was using loudspeaker. The final problem is that when ever i plug in my earphones, google now pops up and sometimes my phone starts playing music automatically throught the earphones, when i remove the earphones, instea of stopping the music continues but the speakers dont work so it just keeps playing them silently. If anyone knows the soultion to this, please respond as ive searched everywhere and i have not found one solution yet.
UPDATE: i used the application soundabout to reroute the audio and the calls are now fine, the only problem is that when i plug in my earphones the google now problem persists. If i plug in earphones with a mic, i dont get any of these problems and everytime i want to use my internal speaker for media, i have to manually re-route the audio to them. Anybody know a solution to these 2 problems?
I do have the exact same problem, I tried different ROMs and Audio Mods (at the moment I've got a stock ROM) without any change.
Did you somehow fix it?
Exact same problem, i run stock android 5.1.1 build 10.7.A.0.222 locked boot loader. Problem suddenly came up last week during vacation, quite some time after I did OTA upgrade to 5.1.1 - so this is not related to ROM updates.
After installing soundabout (thanks for the hint) the rerouting did not work immediately - i had to set phone to earpiece and media to speaker in the app and reboot for it have an effect.
I think the root cause is, the phone thinks there are headphones connected, when there really aren't. If I use the UKW radio app, it starts and shows headphones as output-icon right away - it should actually complain that there is no reception without phones because the antenna (headphone cable) is missing. Since it doesn't complain I guess that's the culprit.
Any hints how to fix that, without using a rerouting app? (kinda stupid, using bluetooth speakers and so on now needs a manual setting change in soundabout).
I have that phone for more than 2 years now and used headphones maybe twice with it, so a busted headphone-jack is out of the question too.
Guys give it a try.
Thanks Ess Arr, that really works!
I recently switched from the galaxy note 4 to the galaxy note 8 and that made me unable to use skype on the headset. This did not happen with my Note 4, and it does not happen with other apps (i.e. whatsapp)
Steps to reproduce:
Have the headset paired with the phone
Ensure you can get audio from multimedia players
Ensure you can get audio from normal phone calls
Ensure you can get call audio from other apps (i.e. whatsapp)
Ensure you have the latest firmware (1.3.4) and the latest skype (8.10.0.4)
Make a call on skype (i.e. sound testing service)
Expected:
All media streams pause
Headset switches to call mode (you can hear noise cancelling turn off, as happens with normal calls via the phone)
Call works normally and you can hear as well as speak to the other person
Observed:
All media streams pause
Call is routed to the phone earpiece
When hanging up in skype, the skype sound for ending calls is heard on the headphone
Workarounds attempted (none of them work):
Settings > Sounds and vibration > separate app sound
Choose app as skype and audio device as "bluetooth device (QC35)"
Fail
Install BTmono from the play store
You can hear QC35 changing to "call mode" (noise cancelling stops)
As soon as you try calling via skype, QC35 returns to normal mode
Fail
Install SoundAbout
Fail
Install Samsung Connect
Switch Audio Output to QC35
Fail
Workaround for incompatibility between QC35 and Skype for android
Hi,
I've had exactly the same issue and the only workaround has been to use Skype Lite instead of the normal version of the app and the beta version. I guess they use sime type of codec not compatible with the headset.
Have you found any other solution? I don't know if Skype lite is available in all the countries but I'm sure you can easily find it on the web in case you'd like to try if that works for you too
No, I returned my note 8 and switched back to the note 4 (a much better phone in my opinion, especially when you consider how old it is). The root experience in the note 8 is not worth it, everything is crippled and support just wasn't there when I got it. Most of the stuff in XPOSED is broken. I might wait for the note 9 or the new motorola z3 force.
I tried posting in microsoft forums for help, which was completely useless. I also tried posting in bose, and they were much more helpful, as you can see for yourself, but still wasn't able to fix the issue.

Here are a few things you can try:
- Post in samsung forums asking for help
- Try attempting some of the things I tried. Maybe they work for you. There have been a ton of updates since I asked this question.
- Try updating the firmware on your QC35, especially if you've never done it: you get the ability to turn off noise cancelling in one of the patches.
- See if the new QC35-II works. Just go to a store and pair your phone with one of the showcase units.
- For that matter, see if one of the showcase QC35 works with your phone.
- Try pairing your QC35 with another note 8. Just go to a phone store and use the demo phone there (though be careful, some showcase phones are demonstrators and use different hardware)
- Try pairing your QC35 with another model entirely. It's unlikely to be the android version, otherwise bose would have noticed...
Bluetooth is dropping within a few minutes every time with this phone which is running the most up-to-date software. I feel like I have tried everything under the sun to fix this including, but not limited to:
Network Reset
Software Repair
Developer Mode Settings
Has ANYONE experienced or managed to fix this issue for themselves?
When I listen to Spotify via bluettoh headphones, sometimes the sounds starts cracking a lot (due to bluetooth interfierence). This happens when wifi is connected to 2.5ghz router + there is a lot of data being downloaded. Most cases restart helps, as after restart wifi data download decreases a lot. If that does not help (may be just few times restart did not help), than I switch off wifi and use celular data. After that bluetooth headphones work well.
PS I am on latest Oreo. Did not update to Pie as call recording does not work anymore without root.
Thanks for your reply Martynas. I have indeed tried using BT with wifi disabled, but it is the same result.
I would actually really like to try downgrading to Oreo to see if that fixes things, but I am new to Android and so I don't exactly know what I am looking for in my hunt for a US image that will work with T Mobile.
Any advice? Thanks for your time.
One more option would be to try different bluettoth settings under "developer" options. Try using different protocols. Mine all are on auto, but try to use manual settings... lower versions, lower bit rate and hz.
As to downgrade to oreo, there was somebody in the forum who has done it and was thinking to make step by step manual... check with him for help.
PS one more possibility - the headphones are broke or simply not very compatible (if it is just earphones you have problems with)...
Takes 2 devices to make a bluetooth connection. Could be your other device. This phone is running bluetooth 5 which is very good. For HD audio you will need very close or line of sight to get constant audio.

I have tried all of the developer settings to no avail. The headphones are not broken and indeed are compatible. The XZ1C just simply doesn't hold a connection with any BT audio device whatsoever.

Unfortunately it's not the headphones--I have tried with multiple devices.
Hello everyone, i own a Samsung note 9 (crownlte) I've Installed a custom rom (arrow os Vanilla) android 12 then I've flashed the basic package of flame gapps (i didn't want the aosp dialer to be replaced with the google phone because i wanted the call record). Everything is perfect except two things
1. As i connect with my earbuds (soundcore liberty air 2 pro) and then trying to make a call, the Bluetooth device is not selected as a mic source by itself, so the thing that I have to do ALL THE TIME WHILE I MAKE A CALL is to select the Bluetooth device by myself from the active call.
P.S. if i want to answer a call there is no Problem, i answer from the earbuds and everything is ok.
2. After i was in a call (no matter incoming/outgoing) the earbud's volume decreases drastically so the thing i have to do is to change the mode (noise cancelling/transparency mode/normal mode) and the it fixes the volume to normal.
Please help me i don't know what to do
