Just got a nokia BH-211 bluetooth headset, and the sound is *very* low in it (it's unit controlled).. So I was wondering if anyone knows of a app that can boost the sound a bit? The headset is useless outside/at work with the volume gained now..
have you tried increasing the volume on your diamond?
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?
Hi,
I recently bought Redmi Note 10 Pro and it is on MIUI version 12.5.4. I have noticed that the volume automatically increases or decreases when I'm listening to music. This happens on every music app be it amazon, spotify or retro. I haven't noticed if the volume decreases on the speaker but it is more noticeable when I'm using earphones.
The volume decreases when the chorus or loud part of the music comes and volume increases when the music is low or slows down. When I check the volume bar to see if there's a change in that, there was none and the volume was set at the same level. I hope I'm making sense.
Is anybody else experiencing this? Is there a way to fix it?
Thank you!
I had the same issue and turing off Dolby Atmos helped so now I only use it when on speaker. For earphones and other jack/bluetooth devices I use old eqalizer
Hello, New member.
I have a 15.6 in HD portable monitor with HDMI input. Great picture, but not enough volume.
I paired my Jambox Bluetooth speaker that will normally blow you out of a room to Chromcast. with google TV.
Still low volume.
Will a bluetooth headphone amp help with this?
I don't need concert volume, but a little more would be nice as I wanted to use this as a travel movie wacthing device.
Any help is appreciated.
Since no one answered this, it probably is because your default volume isn't turned up. Go to settings, change audio to the default device (anything that isn't Bluetooth), back out. Turn up the volume with the remote to full. Go into audio and set the default to bluetooth.
Hi, not sure if it's just for me..but I feel the audio volume is slightly low in pixel 7 when connected to a Bluetooth headset when compared to other mob
.does anyone feel the same here ?
Fix Low Bluetooth Volume on Android
Bluetooth headsets have a problem with low volume on Android. This is because Android’s limit for maximum volume on Bluetooth devices is quite low. To fix
