Bluetooth volume not independant between headset and Z3 - Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there,
I have a small issue with my brand new Z3. I am using a Plantronics BackBeat Pro bluetooth headset along with my Z3 and when adjusting the volume on either the Z3 or the headset, the changes are simultaneous. I mean the volume adjustments are not independant. When I turn the dial on the headset I see the blue volume bar increasing or decreasing on the Z3. The headset does not work this way on other devices (HTC, Samsung ...) and the volumes are independant. I have tried 2 other Bluetooth headsets on the Z3 and volumes are also independant. The issue occurs when connecting the Z3 and the BB Pro.
Any ideas on what can be the cause ?

Fuze bluetooth headset volume low

This is something that's been anoying me since I got my Fuze and have yet to find any fixes for it, any fixes I have found were for the phones headset volume which was also low, but they didn't fix the issue with the bluetooth headset, however I also noticed it's not strictly because of the bluetooth because when I use my bluetooth headphones the volume is very loud at max volume, but the second a call comes in and the headphones switch to the handsfree profile to take the call the volume drops extremely low even with the headphones and phone volume at max, does anyone know of a tweak to fix that?

[Q] Volume control of external bluetooth speaker

Hi all,
playing around with my new Nexus 5 I recognized a problem to control the volume of my external bluetooth loudspeaker.
First, the speaker connected normally as it used to with my GNex (JB 4.3). But with the Nexus 5 the volume seems to stay at maximum only. Pushing the volume buttons +/- of the phone shows up the volume control and I can see the volume going up and down. However, the speaker stays at max. volume independant of the volume setting.
Can somebody else please check this?
I updated my Nexus 7 to KitKat also. And... the same issue here. Perhaps my speaker has a problem?
Thanks
By the way... the speaker is a Philips SBT50
It's not the speaker... with the GNex everything works fine :-/

I have the same issue using a Jabra Play. I'm able to pull the volumne sliders to the min and it will stay there, however one click up, and it goes to max.
BeerGang .4 and Franco r14 but I think it did it on stock also...
google has some work that needs to be done with BT and KitKat.
i thankfully dont have this issue with my little BT speaker, but i have serious High Volume issues with my LG Tone+ BT headset....it is definingly loud at the lowes volume.
I use Bluetooth in my car and with the LG Tones (700) and I've tested it with the 730 tone+ and no issues. Bluetooth headset and I don't have this problem.
With my jbl speaker i habe the same Problem with my n5. Not possible to adjust volume via Bluetooth. When connected to LG sound bar volume control works well

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.

[Q] Any way to prevent Bluetooth devices from directly controlling volume?

This is a somewhat unusual question considering many were looking forward to this change being introduced in KitKat. Here's my situation:
I have a pair of Bluetooth headphones (specifically MEElectronics Matrix) that has a volume control with something like 16 different steps. On my Nexus 7 (2012, 4.4.2) and LG L9 (4.1.2) I usually have the media volume of my device on full, and have the headphones volume set between 2 and 4. This is a nice quiet volume.
When I'm connected to my Moto G (4.4.2), the volume control on the headphones is linked to the media volume of my device (they aren't seperate levels anymore). The problem with this is that now the quietest I can listen to my music (with the volume set to the first stepping on my phone) is slightly too loud for a quiet environment.
If anyone knows of an app, mod, or other solution that will allow me to seperate the volume setting between my device and my Bluetooth headphones, I would really appreciate it.

[Q] Call volume over Bluetooth is too low but Bluetooth voice prompt sound is high

Hi,
I recently bought a JABRA bluetooth and connected with LG G3. The volume of the calls are too low but the voice prompts of the bluetooth was really loud. I slided the volume of the Phone and the Bluetooth headset to Max but still the call volume is too low.
I have paired the Bluetooth with Note 4 and the sound was perfectly normal.
I even tried a different bluetooth headset still the call volume alone is really low.
I tried toggling the voice enhancements in phone settings still no results.
Just want to know if anyone has experienced any issues similar to this.
Thanks,
Gokul

[MM roms] Big problems with bluetooth headset (LG HBS-730) low quality

Hello,
i have one big issue that prevents me from fully enjoing marshmellow roms ,the bluetooth audio.
I have a bluetooth headset from lg hbs-730 an they work just fine with every android (this year i changed like 15 handset) and NEVER had any problem,they just works.
BUT they dont work on a oneplus with mm rom and i can't understand why.
the headset connect via bluetooth with no issue and audio comes out fine at first,but when you get heavy bass or just a lot of instruments in the song the audio lose quality and noise ramp up.
do you know why?it is fixable?
the only hint i have its that the audio control on kk,lp roms are different ,so when i push the up and down volume buttons on the phone the bluetooth audio of the phone is managed,but when i press the volume buttons on the headset it manages its OWN volume.
This doesnt happen in MM roms,when you push the volume button of the headset ord the phone its the same volume bar which is managed.
