[Q] Bluetooth Headset - more Volume Steps - General Questions and Answers

Hey,
I bought a Sony SBH20 to listen to music without having the annoying cable on my phone.
The Problem is, there are only 7 Volume Steps for the Bluetooth Device (Hardware Buttons of the Headset also control the Android Volume).
So I want to find a way to controll the Volume finer.
I tried:
- Increase number of steps with the XPosed module VolumeSteps+. Problem ist that also I have more steps now, only at 7 points the Volume realy changes. So I have no improvement here.
- The App "Fine Volume Controll V2.0" which can controll the Volume in 1% steps. Problem here is that I can only change the Volume in the app, but not with the Hardware Buttons of Headset or Smartphone (when the phone is locked).
So, any ideas for that?
My Phone is a rooted Sony Xperia Z2 with Android 4.4.4 and Xposed Framework installed.
I don't have this Problem with my old Galaxy Nexus with CyanogenMod (also Android 4.4.4) which has more steps for the Bluetooth Device. So I think the Problem belongs to Sony customizations of Android.
So is there any way to get finer Volume controll?

Headset volume adjustment

Hi there,
I bought the HTC Wired Remote Control RC E100 headset to use with my Touch Pro. Now that works great except for changing the volume. When you change the volume it does that in 5 steps from 100% to 0% volume. But the 20% (final step befor 0) is still very loud. Does anyone know if you could change the volume in 20 steps like you can using your finger on the Volume control screen sliding the bar up and down?
Thanx in advance.
Grtzzz MachinemaN
Did you get any answer for this problem? I've got the same..
I always have the same headset and the same issue!! Someone please fixxx
Got my Touch Pro today and it's really loud in the headphones - usually it's the opposite problems with phones.
Use your finger (not keys) to move the volume slider and you will get 10% steps...
Also you can use Windows Media which has an independent volume regulator ( (+) and (-) buttons on the screen).
CorePlayer can also play mp3 and has the independent regulator (if you did not check "use system volume" in its settings).
I'm using the E100 headset aswell and I'm having the same problem with the volume control.
I've searched around and EVERYONE has this issue (also with using the hard buttons on the side) and NOBODY found a fix or regedit for it.
I guess we gotta complain at HTC's side for a fix for this, cause the E100 earplugs are loud at the 3bars volume aswell for me, but just perfect at 1 bar!
The E100 headset is working like a charm btw, and my screen doesnt light up when im pressing any buttons..
Me too... Surely there must be a reg hack somewhere?

[Q] new rom changed ringtone volume control with volume up/down key

Hello,
I have xperia x10 mini pro (the old one) and I recently installed android 2.3 - this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15292943 "SonyBread V8 (based on MiniCM7)" my phone says.
Now before I did that, my volume up/down buttons changed ringtone volume from nothing, trough vibrations only to vibration and some sound level.
Now I can't turn volume down to nothing. It just stops on Vibrations only and it seems like it lacks the total quiet state without vibrations.
I don't know, where are settings for that, if I can change it via setting, or app or widget or if it's somewhere deep in system but I personally hate it.
Ok, I managed to find that this isn't a bug, it's a feature of newer Android and it looks like it cannot be changed via app/widget but trough android framework... how uncool is that.

[Q] UE Mini Boom volume control

I use a UE mini boom Bluetooth speaker with my nexus 5. The volume control worked fine with the software that came with the phone. The volume on the phone would follow the volume buttons on the speaker. Since the 4.4.2 update, the volume control seems to be broken. Any way to solve this?

link multimedia volume and headset volume

In the previous android release (6) multimedia volume and bluetooth headset volume were linked, I better explain, if I raised the volume from bluetooth headphones appeared a popup on the phone with its volume bar,
here is an article that explains better http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/12/11/android-6-0-1-finally-links-bluetooth-and-system-media-volume-settings-but-it-breaks-volume-control-on-many-headsets/
Now with Nougat came back as before, two separate volumes, Phone and bluetooth headset.
Someone knows if they have removed the function or is hidden in some menus (I gave a look but I have found nothing).
thank you

No root - volume buttons control Ringtone/Notification volume instead of Media.

I have a phone with very customized ROM (Flyme) and I'm trying to find a way to force volume buttons to control Ringtone/Notification volume instead of Media volume.
I know there is a way to perform this, thanks to an Xposed module, but my phone can't be rooted. Can it be done without root and without one of those many volume controlling apps that show a widget or a persistent notification with different profiles? I just need to press hardware buttons to control those volumes.
[If you ask me why I need this is because ROM devs are stupid (at least Flyme devs, but I know Oreo "benefits" from this great feature) and didn't think that Media volume should change only if some Media is playing. If no Media is playing, why someone would need to change Media volume? I thought these are smartphones, not dumbphones and I was expecting to do smart things, like detecting when Media is playing and changing the volume accordingly. I guess I was wrong...]
You can get noyze volume panel that works with accessibility controls, you can fins the app on github or google noyze volume panel (no root required), it has extended panel in options which makes sense for android as even pie has the worse volume controls than kitkat.
