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.

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
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
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.
Hi.
Scenario:
Phone connects to car Bluetooth.
I increase the Bluetooth volume level on the phone to 100% (I do this because some of the podcasts I listen to are quiet in places)
Next time I use the car the phones Bluetooth volume is reset (by the phone I presume) to abut 70%.
So again I have to increase the Bluetooth volume level to 100%.
What's all that about?
Is there a hidden setting somewhere - this wasn't the case with my Nexus 6p.
Cheers!!

Most phones do this so that the volume is not on full blast in case you are using headphones. I also get a warning on my screen when I go to up the volume again.

Is there anyway to stop this. My phone only seems to do this after the last 2 updates. It's annoying. Have to turn sound back up on my phone to compensate, if I turn car up, it becomes way to loud when changing inputs back to radio or cd

I haven't found a way.
Hello
I have a OP7Pro and I use regularly 3 Bluetooth devices, my car (where the volume from the phone has to be maxed), on-ear headphones with anc (where volume should be much lower) and on-ear headphones (where the volume should be low).
I identified that lots of times, with the new features of Android P, the volume is remembered from device to device but sometimes it is not, and after using the Bluetooth with the car, the volume of the on-ear headphones is maxed which kills my ears...
Does this happen to someone else? Is it a known bug? Is there a solution for this?
Bump I have this stupid annoying issue the same. My volume is the same across the border same volume level for music in calls speaker etc
Mine also, doesn't remember my Bluetooth prior volume setting's. It defaults back to Max volume...
If you have bt absolute volume enabled, the phone will take the setting of the device it is connected to. Not sure that helps entirely though.
