A2DP with Topaz problems - General Questions and Answers

OK, so i've paired up an A2DP bluetooth headset with my topaz...most things work well, if not great. but there are 2 slight problems: 1) sometimes when i press play on my headset, the screen turns on and doesn't lock. i've already clicked so many things in my pocket by mistake when that happened. and i set the phone to lock when i push the power/stand-by button...but that doesn't work when the bluetooth is connected(works fine when it's not). 2) i usually have my phone on vibrate, but that turns both the ringer and system volume down...so i have to turn off single volume and turn up the system volume...finee..but the settings won't stay. when i take it out of vibrate, both ringer and system volume is at 100%(good) but when i turn on vibrate again, both volumes go back down to 0%(bad) instead of what i wanted, which is: when in vibrate mode, ringer volume can be 0% but system volume has to be at 100% in order to listen to music through my headphones. any help would be very much appreciated!!

Volume muted after connecting A2DP

Here's another odd little niggly thing I've found about my Touch Pro.
I normally have the volume at about 90% all the time. When I get in my truck and the phone automatically connects to my bluetooth stereo, the volume on the phone suddenly changes to mute. I then have to up the volume back to it's normal level.
The volume will stay put from then on, even after disconnecting and reconnecting the A2DP....
...except.....
...if I have to reboot the phone for some reason. After the reboot, the first time it connects to the bluetooth stereo it mutes again.
Any ideas why this is happening?

Same problem with my elife e8

Bluetooth Sound Volume Low (In Call)

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.

Low bluetooth volume

First off, I apologize if this has been covered elsewhere.
I have a Lexus CT200H and when I have the phone connected to the internal phone/audio I can hardly hear person on the other end of the line regardless of how high I have the volume turned up on the car or the phone.
Any ideas?

Similar issue with my 2012 Mazda 3. I can't change the in-call volume on my phone (Verizon Galaxy S3). So I have to turn the volume all the way up on the Mazda BT to (barely) hear the call.
I'm using the volume buttons, and on the phone screen it shows the BT volume icon and slider going all the way up, but the volume thru the Mazda is unchanged.
Same thing occurs with my wife's HTC Incredible 2. I adjust the BT in-call volume up and down, but there is no effect on the actual volume.
Both phones ARE able to adjust the BT in-call volume on a BlueAnt ST3 unit, so I know the phones are OK.
Surprisingly, for music streaming, I *am* able to adjust the music volume on the phone. But not the in-call volume.
So troutbeck27, when using the volume keys, do you see the BT icon next to the volume slider? Do you hear ANY difference between a low/high volume setting on your phone? And are you able to change your media streaming volume on your phone?
Anyone else have this issue with the in-call BT volume being non-adjustable?
Install the app called "Volume+" to boost the volume of the bluetooth device.
had the same issue and the work around is to turn off the headset button on the phone and turn it back on. That will fix the problem.

I tried:
-turning off bluetooth (at the system level) and turning it back on
-turning off/on bluetooth during the call (i.e., switching from car BT to handset and back again)
Neither of those resulted in allowing volume adjustments...did I understand your suggestion correctly?
Thanks.
I'm having similar bluetooth volume issues, my head unit is the DEH-P9400BH.
Running Cyanogenmod10-nightly.
The phone will output to its speaker, or headphones just fine, but the moment I pair it to my car's had unit, and bluetooth takes over, the audio is much quieter. Specifically the bass signals don't appear to be passed from phone to car.
I've tried unpairing from the phone, from the car, deleting the profiles of the car from phone and phone from car. I've tried unpairing while bluetooth was in use playing music. Tried lowering the volume levels and raising them again (as that seemed to work once before).
I have a feeling that the phone's master volume setting is set lower when bluetooth connects, and I'm find a hard time finding that control, as the volume key controls the bluetooth volume settings while bluetooth is activated.
Any ideas?
Thanks for reading!
Edit: bluetooth audio has worked before without too many problems. This is a recent thing, maybe a week old.

Silence notifications

I got a note pro 12.2 last week. This is the first tablet that I have had that had seperate volume controls for notifications, media and system. In any case whenever I restart or other wise turn the device on...it does it little start up noise and then it just goes on playing some stupid music. I turn the notifications volume down , but when I turn the media volume back up the notifications volume goes up as well. I go to the task killer and nothing is running. How do you kill that noise?
I don't hear any music on mine when I turn it on. Something on yours must be running in the background. Did you buy a new tablet or used?
Are you referring to the Samsung Boot theme?

Phone keeps going in and out of call mode -Not on call!

Hi guys,
I noticed a week ago that while listening to a WhatsApp voice message I was unable to change the volume using the volume rocker.
I thought this very strange. Then while in the car listening to a podcast via Bluetooth I noticed the audio would stop, then maybe 5 minutes later start again by itself, then stop again (sometimes for ages) then start again.
I've now noticed that the audio was switching to in call volume ( active and green) during the times the audio stopped. As soon as it decided I wasn't on a call it would then default back to media volume and things would start playing again.
So my bloody phone thinks either a call is coming through or I'm on a call yet neither of these things are true.
Very very very frustrating!
Has anybody experienced this? What could this be and how can it be fixed?
Thanks

I am still not able to understand your issue clearly but could it be bad proximity sensor?
Thanks for replying.
My phone has "in call volume" active sometimes even though not on a call. When you press the volume rocker on the side it is active (highlighted in blue) when it shouldn't be.
When active it cuts out all other media.
Then sometimes it's normal where in call volume not showing (not active) when you press the volume rocker so I can play media, (media volume shows active when pressing volume rocker) just the way it should be.
It's totally random.
I'd that clearer?
Thanks!

Do you have smart connect installed? In past I have experience something similar while using smart connect.
Like sometime it acts as if headphone is connected when it's not and you don't hear anything when you play media.
I haven't, and I don't know what smart connect is but my issue isn't it thinking headphone connected, it thinks it's on a phone call
