Ok so my title states it pretty well. I have a bunch of bluetooth devices I use, JBL Charge, Car Stereo, JayBird headphones, and every other android device I have had you can control the volume from the device. However with Googles new nexus 5, it seems that feature doesnt work? Now I have to use the bluetooth speaker to change the volume. Any ideas on a fix?
Same here, seems to be a bug. Use an equalizer app to lower the volume

Ok, any recommendations?
Works fine on my Sony MDR 10 rbt headset.. So it does not seem to be an overall n5 bt problem
Mine and my wife's n5 have this problem. Default bt audio output is too loud and is distorted. Sometimes the volume can be controlled by the volume buttons, most of the time not.
I have the default eq like this

The problem looks to be app compatibility with 4.4. Pandora doesn't allow any bluetooth volume control, but Slacker which was updated Nov 8th works fine.
I used the volume buttons on my Nexus 4 to turn down the BT audio all the time when I listened to Pandora. It's a system ride function so it shouldn't matter what app is playing audio

This is not a Nexus 5 issue. It is Kit Kat issue on all devices that use the default Google Bluedroid Bluetooth stack, meaning Nexus devices and Google Play versions (other devices running a modified stack may not be affected).
Supposedly, it is an extension to Bluetooth AVRCP 1.3 that enables Bluetooth audio devices to directly control Android's system volume. It seems some genius thought two independent volume levels (headphone volume and handset bluetooth level) was too confusing for folks. Clearly they did not think about (or test) that some Bluetooth audio devices with their own volume controls might default to a very high or low level, and control of only the handset's bluetooth level would not provide sufficient range of adjustment.
So once again we have Goofle googing up bluetooth in Android. Please share your disappointment in the following threads so that we might see a fix ASAP. Guessing they are facing law suits for hearing damage if it is not addressed quickly.

Hi ,
Any recommendation for In-Ear earphones with mic and controll music for HTC DHD ?
Thanx
ma8ash
I was looking for for a earphone extension myself earlier. Since than I have bought a extension cable with music control ability along with a mic I will post a picture and link if you are interested.
please do that.
also tell the brand and model please
Hi,
Thanx , sure I ask for that link.
here you go. I have just posed the same thing on other two different threads incluging my own. hopefully ppl won't think I am spaming.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Headphone-Earphone-Mic-HTC-HD2-Pure-Snap-HD-Smart-/270783737034?pt=UK_Mobile_Home_Phones_Bluetooth_Acc_ET&hash=item3f0bf7ecca
the included earphone is very good, much to my surprice and for £3.34 I think it is a bargain. you press once to pause and play, press twice to fast forward three times to backforward. If you really want good music, I can recommend to buy a pare of Shure earphphone.
Forgot to mention I am using CM7 rom and with Poweramp player. I've not check if it works with sense. I order on 11th and it has just arrived yesterday, not too bad.

This is the combination I use that works very good! Some people believe bluetooth headsets don't produce good sound but I beg to differ.
Cyanogenmod daily
Poweramp
Polar Bear BT001
Westone 3 - Soon to change to Westone 4
I might have to get a mic extension cord with a jack, as there's no way I'm not going to use my Sennheiser IE8s! These and the Shure e530s are my favourite in terms of sound quality. But these are for serious audiophiles only, as they're not the cheapest.
Works
I'm using Sony Ericsson HPM-75 Headphone Handsfree for X10 Xperia works but the button on the control needs to be pressed (held on) has anyone tried the Sony Ericsson MH-500 Headphone Handsfree Xperia Arc?
Skullcandy rocks
I've been using some SkullCandy 50/50s for about 2 months now, and I wouldn't change them for any others.
They've given very good sound quality, and their build is incredibly sturdy. They've got music and call controls, as well as the microphone you're looking for (in fact, its their main selling point).
I've been using PlayerPro for playback and to set my EQ's as well.
Find the right balance for your music taste, and together, they'll give you an immense sound.

how do you guys even afford the ability to listen to music with the battery life of a DHD?
I'm using sony MDRED12LPS, they have an excellent sound, and noise-aislation. About battery life, i must charge twice a day the phone =(
Hi,
I would like if somebody can recommend some BT devices, earphones or car mounted. I used plantronics mid range and was not satisfied with it (iPhone 3 + Plantronics had problems to connect, dropped connections, battery drain because they was constantly negotiating...).
Can you share your experience with BT devices please? I'm driving a lot and holding a phone while driving is forbidden. Also, corded earphones gives me a trouble while stearing because cord is always on a steering wheel.
I'm using Nokia BH-503 and it was superb. With good bass and treble, you would surely be satisfied. Plus, it has its own volume control, easy to config, and loud (yep, it can be turned into personal speaker).
Battery life was great, with 3 hours charging time, you could get more than 3 days of music and calls combined.
And the red/black back ear design was cool!

EDIT: 3 days of normal usage - about 4 hours of music, 5 to 8 phone calls per day.

Well, I had once listening to music all the night about 8 hours straight with my DHD, it was left out with 21% from 69%. Well, most of the time the screen was off obviously. With (very) few phone calls and messages. And it was in stock rom. Dunno if its good or bad though. But its all depend on your usage, rom etc.

I am using my ancient TECH Clip R35 Bluetooth (talk/music time 6hr, standby 150 hr) with a pair of Shure 530 earphone. The sound from both combo is simply WOW, better than plug the earphone straight into the socket. How is that possible? I have no idea.
The power comsumption is about 60-70ma with bluetooth. 85-95ma with wire
on a CM7 powered HDH.

10x I think I'll buy a SE mw600. Hope I'll not regret it.
1 more question how is the sound quality over bt with SE mw600 ?
OK well due to the washer killing my voyager 855. i have had in the past the Jabra BT8010 with the stereo attachment. I have yet on my day long search to find one like these. Any suggestions??

I used these for years....design hasn't changed lol. You have the option of using bt or plugging it in. Great if you are running low on juice.

I was looking at this headset, but I was wondering if the side buttons work for pausing and skipping music?
MW600 works like a charm
I'm using the MW600 since a few months.
First with my HTC Legend and now with the Sensation.
The controls work just fine on both phones.
On my Legend it had problems with the integrated mic, thus making it unuseable as handsfree kit, but on the sensation it works like a charm.
Only thing that's missing (but that seems to be a general Android problem) is voice dial. You can accept calls with the phone button on the bt adapter, but you can't use it to issue new calls.
Hello, I am quite happy with my Note PRO 12.2 so far. The main problem is the sound quality. Is there a way to improve the quality perhaps through software?
Why Samsung does not move the speakers of their tablets to the front like the ones on the MacBook Pro Retina Display?

It seems that it requires one to root the device. Is there a solution without rooting?
Have you tried using the equalizer?

The thing I hate about most equalizers on Android is that once enabled maximum volume is decreased although the shape of the sound does change. Sometimes I just want more volume. .. for that a custom kernel and dsp manager are needed.

Software. I believe the stock one is MusicFX, and most serious music players have their own. Personally I use N7player.

Firstly, disable Adapt Sound in the application manager. It evens out the volume of all audio.
I've also disabled musicFX.
Some music app equalizers have a pre Amp increaser which boosts or decreases the volume to a level of your choice. Screenshot included.

That's N7 player, by the way. It has one of the more extensive equalisers I've come across. (those are the settings on my Note 3 but that's beside the point).

I have been trying a few audio latency (ms) apps and i'm getting around 150-200 ms. Which makes Android phones in general unusable when using apps for music creation or timing or rhythm based games.
Is there any way i can root it and fix this using a different codec or driver?
Will this be improved in Android Q?
iPhones for example usually has a latency (ms) of between 8 and 22 ms.
Any news on this or fixes or something i can do myself?
Are you actually using YouTube, Netflix Hulu, or others and see the latency? I see no latency in any videos or the few games I play. I'm also using wireless Bullets.
Where did you get that high numbers?

Bluetooth has notoriously high latency. If it's not using AptX low latency, it's going to be in the 100-200's
Here's a receiver transmitter combo you can put in your car.

While this is typically true, I have had devices when using an iPhone connected via Bluetooth that have seemingly no latency.
For years iOS has always had better latency than Android. It is exactly why Android doesn't have as much music creation apps or rhythm games as iOS.
Even a Google search of "iOS vs Android audio latency" backs this up with tons of articles, tests, and reports about it.
You can improve the latency in developers option as well. Use the codec that matches your headphones or device. It by default uses a generic codec compatible with most devices. Also you could change the sample rate.
Version of bt
I'm really sad about that all you guys forget there is 2 device if you speak about Bluetooth connection. So useless ur OnePlus have bt 5.0 what can have 8 Ms latency if u use an old crappy Chinese headphones with bt 2.0 . For example my headphones have almost zero latency till in my 2012 Peugeot the music is 5 sec late !
