How to increase the microphone volume on bluetooth headset? - General Topics

Does anybody know a way or registry hack to increase the volume of bluetooth headsets? I'm using a Prophet with the new Jabra BT500 and the people I'm talking with hear me very very quiet. With the BT250 the mic's volume was ok, but now I have to shout for hearing me...
(Another thought is, that it maybe has something to do with the different Bluetooth versions or the different Profiles - Headset vs. Handsfree)
thanks

I am faced with the same problem with a Jabra BT330. It is not loud, and people have problem hearing me.
I tried the audiogain tweak mentioned in http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=41273&highlight=vol+volume, but unfortunately this has no effect. I think because it does not effect the Bluetooth headset, but the wired headsets.
Any one an idea?

I did found out that part of the problem is the headset (Jabra BT330). I tried an BT250V and BT500, and they both sounded much better and louder. So I replaced the headset with a BT500.
But still, it could have been louder, so I am still looking for the tweak in the registry to change the mic volume of my bluetooth headset.
Anyone?

I'm in the same boat - I have a motorola 850 - and the comment I get is "sounds like you are in a tunnel". I've tried the tweaks, but they don't work - so now I'm off to try a different headset.

Bluetooth Issues

Hello all. I was wondering if anyone has had or knows of any fixes for this. My bluetooth on my Treo 750 doesn't work well with my bluetooth headsets. I've tried 2 headsets, the Plantronics Voyager 510 and Discovery 640. When I receive/make a call using the headset I can hear the called party really clearly, but they can't hear me clearly. I tested the headset with my Nokia N73 and it works fine there. I previously had the Universal and there were some bluetooth install files that sometimes helped depending on the ROM I had installed. Does anyone know how I can fix this for my Treo 750? Or if no one has had this issue, does this mean that my device is a little faulty? Please let me know. Thanks.
Try JetWare Mobile...it fixed many of my issues.
I've noticed the general Bluetooth performance for the Treo series Bluetooth is abysmal. BT stereo audio will skip with certain devices unless they are almost physically touching, headsets are always crackling, even a foot away.
The range is horrible, and the AVRCP often ignores commands from stereo headphones as well.
Overall, just, not very good Bluetooth :\ (Especially coming from many BlackBerries using BT 2.0 EDR with A2DP and all the trimmings.)

speaker / voip / vox

hi there...
does anyone know how to make voip work with the correct (internal) speaker?
I installed the voip package as described in the wiki and works except for the problem that the sound comes from the speaker on the back of the phone...
did anyone get this to work with the vox phone?
i'm wondering if it's possible. i did manage though to get the volume lowered on Custel's Voip cab to the point where it doesn't "really" produce the echo. I'm thinking that's probably as good as it gets. Flip the phone around and use the 'volume lowered' speakerphone as the earpiece.
Seems to be an hardware issue.
When I use a bluetooth headset everything works fine.
I think that it works fine, because if you have connected your headset, everything comes to that headset, sound from earpiece and from speaker too.
When I use my headphones, sound goes out from the speaker AND headphones, at the same time. Boring, but what can we do...

Ring Only through headphones!!! Any solution yet ??? Please Help

I did a search on this and couldn't find anything. When I connect my headset (a simple wired headphone) when someone calls, the ring tone is heard both in the headset and the loud external speaker! When connecting the headset, normally the speaker should not work! How can I make my HTC TOUCH ring only through the wired headset and not the speaker? It used to work fine but something got changed or maybe some software i insatlled changed the setting. i have serached for days and can't fins any solution. Is their any solution out their?? Thanks
i would like to know as well

What bluetooth headsets will work with the touch diamond?
other question: why should there be any headsets not working?
i have a really cheap but nice looking samsung headset, no problem to get paired with the diamond. should work with any other headset, too!?
My existing is just a cheap iTouch bluetooth headset and it works perfectly.
I don't think Diamond has any problem to work with other brands.
I have an old Motorola Bluetooth headset (4 Years) and it will not pair with my Diamond. Looks like its time to upgrade to a Jawbone!! hehehe
i have the jabra bt3030
its a stereo bluetooth headset working on A2DP
works great and looks awesome!!
So can I listen to music through any bluetooth headset (that has headsets to play music)?
My Plantronics P590 works like a charm

Say something about the sound, it is better (or/and louder) then original HS or same quality?
Here you go!

Theres a app called btAudio (keep a google-eye open for newer versions) that does exactly this, it will send ALL sound to the headset, despite of what windows had in mind for the sound (as in if it was gonna use headset or build-in speaker)
Tho, it sometimes chokes when you dont shut down the app before you disable the bluetooth headset or phones bluetooth function, but i guess that kinda makes sense (its even sayd in the program to not do that, but im a sucker for trying such things hehe)
And another thing, this happend for me too (taken from comments on some site, linked below)
The program runs well however if you try to make a phone call with the blue tooth ear piece while the program is active the program is not available after the call is completed.
I had to reset my phone to enable the program again. - source of comment
Guess thats related to windows not being to happy theres multiple apps using the headset, lets hope for a next version which auto-disables when calling and re-enables when u hang up.
I'm waiting for this one (Jabra BT530, due end August according to Play.com)...
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/product/16778.htm
Got the manual that Jabra put up on their support site for a day or two before taking it off. Manual says it also supports A2DP and can stream music.
And what about battery life? Could somebody using bluetooth stereos write how long the Diamond can last, and what is the overall impact on battery life while listening to music?
I use this headset, its got very good sound and is also nice and comfortable, since i have my tragus peirced i cant wear "normal" headphones!
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-DRBT20...6?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1216998998&sr=8-6
It also works on my pc and my PS3 as a wireless headset/mic!
I have proper enclosed stereo headphones Dell DH-200 with volume control, next and previous track plus play/pause buttons and it all works fine with HTC DT. The only think I am not sure about is which profile it is using, the sound is not as good as when I have it paired with my laptop, which would suggest a low speed profile as opposed to HQ.
You can change the bluetooth profile in Schap's Advanced Config. I've set bitpool to 70, max to 76 and min to 64. Now the sound quality is waaay better.
I can't connect my Jabra 320's (worked with SE W880i) to BT Stereo, it only see's the headphones as a handsfree unit on the HTC
Jawbone. Nothing else comes close (for hands free anyway!). And the new one even matches the Diamond... sort of!
Has anyone suffered the sound periodically dropping out for a second or two, mainly during the first minutes of connection but still persisting now and again several tracks down the playlist?

[Q] Bluetooth in call volume very low

Hi all,
I have been suffering the following problem for several weeks already, I hope someone can help me to get it solved. I have a parrot bluetooth car kit installed in my car (mk6000 model) which is able to play music on stereo.
When I play music the volume level is pretty good, as good as when I use the speakers or wired headphones. However, the in call volume is extremely low, no matter if the Nexus was playing music right before the call or in stand-by (with wired headphones or no accessories in-call volume is fine). This also happens to both incoming and outgoing calls.
I have tried to unpair and then pair again the device but it is still the same. Also installed the Bluetooth Volume application with no luck. I have not checked with bluetooth headphones but I assume that I would get the same issue.
I am surprised that nobody posted this before (at least I could not find anything) and I am wondering if this is only happening to me.
Can anyone give me some advice?
Thanks!

Anybody having this problem?
Thanks.
I don't answer when I'm driving but sometimes when I do answer, the volume is the same as the music playback volume...
I have used Nokia's old wireless headphones with my n5 and the sound is pretty decent...
I don't know how deep you have dove into your nexus experience but this would help:

Thanks, but I am not sure if this would work for me. I just need the volume in-call boost when bluetooth is connected. I want in-call speakers or wired headphones volume remain as is. I do not want any change for music streaming volume (bluetooth or speakers). Is this possible?
Thanks!
