hi,
i have recently purchased the chamelon headset for my tmobile mda2(himalaya). with the help of bluetooth tools for pocket pc i have been able to bond the 2 devices successfully and have achieved a fair working state between both devices. however there is one problem that cannot be avoided. it seems like the volume output on the headset is very low, its very difficult to hear anyone on the other end. the manual states that while in call you can turn up the volume until you hear a beep to indicate the volume is at its highest setting. despite numerous attempts at trying to get the volume higher i have not had any success. while in call i try to press either buttons and there is no change in volume. i have heard a beep a few times after 20-30 consecutive presses but i didnt notice much or if any change in volume. is there anyway to adjust the volume on the headset while not in a call? im not sure whether this may be a problem with the chameleon or perhaps a problems with the bluetooth in the microsoft OS?
Anyone else experience problems like this?
Maybe the Chameleon suffers from the same feature as my BTH-808 headset: When I use it in my right ear the volume-down button (on the side of the headset) is likely to press on my ear and thus . . . .minimizes the volume.
Work-around: use in left ear or ut in with care.
Same behaviour as you describe in changing volume. You have to press the volume-up button approx once every 1-2 seconds for the volume to go up one step.
Took me a week to find out what happened . . .
sigh. i wish it was that simple.
it seems like i have got the headset to its highest volume and it still sounds very weak. nextlink support tells me the volume on the bluespoon is generally very loud.
man... the BT on this machine is really a nightmare.
have you tried to put volume higher like I mentioned. When I press the volume-up to quick, It simply stays low, although I hear the 'volume-up beep'!!
Otherwise: Back for warranty I guess

with any call i get, the volume is really loud. ive used my volume button to set it to the lowest setting and the person is still loud enough to hear if im holding the phone a couple of inches away from my ear. am i the only one experiencing this issue, and if not how do i remedy this issue? thanks for any help you can give. btw im running 7.1.0.1, stock cm kernel, and installed it through cwm.
Are you suggesting the speaker comes on automatically when you receive a call?
if its what i have, no. when i recieve a call, the in call volume is set to max, regardless of what the actual volume setting is. it is quite deafening. lol. anyways, when i use the volume rocker, the volume will still change, but then the next call will have the same issue. its as if the phone automatically resets the volume to max somehow. any help would be appreciated. thanks!

yeah, thats the same issue that i have been having. the closest thing i have found to a fix is to hit the volume up then volume down, then the volume will go down. but that has to be done on every call. i was/am hoping there will be a fix for this that will keep it down permanently
I have a chinese Dual Sim card phone running 2.3.4 Android. The specific model is Star a919. My main issue at the moment is bluetooth volume seems to be very low even at max volume. I am trying to get the bluetooth volume to increase so I can hear the person on the other end.
Here is what I have tried:
1. turning volume down via button, rebooting phone with battery pulled out, then adjusting volume on headset itself when phone powers on.
2. Adjusting both headset and in call bluetooth volume
3. Volume+ (various settings for both incall and bluetooth)
4. Adding up to 100 steps in volume+ for in call quality
I am running out of idea's here. If anyone has something else I could try that may work i'm all ears.
No matter what volume I pair my Verizon HTC One M8 (KitKat) at, my bluetooth volume reverts to "LOW" each time connect to Bluetooth speakers. I get a "Maximum Volume Warning," and then have to manually crank it up with the volume rocker on the phone.
I use several speakers throughout the house...JBL PowerUp in my living room, and a Waterproof Speaker in the bath. Forums indicate that this has been a problem for other users on the M7, and some phones as far back as the Dell Streak! Only advice I can find is re-pairing, but I've done that at Maximum volume, and the higher volume setting will not hold.
Is this a know issue? Are there any other workarounds?? Anyone else having this problem???

Ive had BLN-L24 B360 for a little under a week now and have noticed some frustrating issues with regards to the volume levels on this phone. For the most part it seems as though the volume slider that indicates volume level/loudness is just a dummy switch because sound from the phones speaker does not go up or down, it is simply on or off, as in the first step above mute is the same volume as max.
This this is the case with all volume levels through the phones speaker and is extremely frustrating because the sounds are too loud. Whether it is screen lock or unlock, receiving a text or call, or the alarm, I dont need everything being super loud even though I have the volume set low. Im tired of being jolted awake by the alarm that I can't adjust and I cant even watch a video clip without headphones at night because everything is just too damn loud.
With head phones plugged in I notice there is some change in volume with notifications and ringtones but there is just no low volume . Media volume (music) with headphones is the only level that can be adjusted to a low volume but I notice that once the high volume warning dialog pops up around halfway, the volume from there to max stays roughly the same.
Ive seen other people say that low headphone output is a major complaint about this phone but has anyone else experienced loud, unadjustable volume from their phones speaker? It seems to me like a software issue which leads me to believe I'm not the only one. If my description of the issue was confusing, the volume output of the phones speaker is exactly the same in both screenshots.
Edit: While looking through all the audio settings once again it seems that somehow viper4android phone speaker was was turned on and extra loud was turned on unknowingly, which explains why the first step of volume was so loud. However this has since been turned off and still doesn't explain why alarms, ringtones and notifications volume is not really adjustable, the volume is just a bit lower now.
a factory reset could change the behavior.
However, this is not the same behavior many are facing, the problem, in general, is low loud speaker volume and none of the user reported this behavior you mentioned. may be a factory reset can help.
this started from yesterday evening, i'm watching youtube and the volume is annoyingly low, i increase the volume by using the volume rocker on the side of the phone but the volume is still the same, i go into settings and change the volume level from there and it suddenly goes into max volume.
then today after i had set the alarm clock i couldn't hear anything because yet again the volume had suddenly gone down again at this point i have no idea what is causing it, i don't have any bluethooth devices connected to it, no headphones, nothing in the headphone jack so i'm clueless as to what is causing it my phone is not rooted either.
this is frustrating me as i use my phone for a alarm clock and i can't rely on it for now due to this issue, no idea where to start with it.
so the volume is low, i increase the volume with the rocker no effect, i then go into settings and adjust the volume from there it goes back to high volume and then after a while it goes back to low volume again without any input from me.
If your device is rooted, I recommend you try Viper and see how it will help react.
I did say I didn't have root from the start.
anyways I'm thinking it may have a link with the latest update that was pushed, it was the October security update, this is when the problem started so it may have effected it.
