low volume at 3rd Party Headset - MDA, XDA, 1010 General

Hello,
I bought a Nokia HDB-5 Headset for my 02 XDA and all works very well
it has the same 2,5mm connector as the original Heasdest with 3 rings.
The only problem is that I only hear all calls at low volume so maybe I think it has something to do with the absence of a volume control mechanism like the original Headset it had.
Is there a software workaround for that available (which can control the volume of a pluged in headset or only set the volume to maximum for a pluged in Headset) or give it a adapter to solve this prob.
Thx for help and sorry for my not so good english
Have a nice weekend
Ralf

Headset problem / feature

Hi All
I have been told by o2 that the following is a feature:
When my XDA has an incoming call, with the headset plugged in, the 'ringing' only sounds from the headset instead of the speaker.
Is this a feature or a fault?
Comments gratefully received
I'd say bit of both.
I've had my headset plugged in and heard the ringtone through both the headset AND the unit itself, but perhaps there's a way of making it so that the headset is the only audio (perhaps plugging the jack in whilst on silent then turning it back up?).
I've definitely had the headset ring out whilst the jack is connected.
A
Feature or fault, that's a hard one to call!
I would say it working as designed, since the headset will always override the speaker in any fashion. :wink:
I've never heard of this. All the US units ring in BOTH if the headset is plugged in. Unfortunately, message notification and alarms sound only in the headset though.
Hi,
As far as I have found out the behavior is not consistent. My device sometimes only ring in the headset and sometimes ring both. I have found out if you plug in the headset and connect via USB cable to the PC it will always ring both in headset and speaker. This is true even after you have unplugged the USB. Seems to me some flag I set during USB connation that enables this... ?!
For notifications - this only works via the headset... for me at least.
I find this annoying - the SmartPhone works as it should in regards to this.
I run 4.00.05 baked at this site... keep up the good work !
I had this similiar feature/bug experience too.
My XDA rings both on the headset and its speaker. One day, at some point, I managed to put it into a strange state. I started playing an mp3 with the windows media player (WMP) without the handset, it played thru its speaker (that's correct). And then I plug in the headset, mp3 came out from only the headset (that's correct too).
After that, I pressed "stop" the mp3 in the WMP, and then "play" again, mp3 came out thru both the headset and its speaker.
I don't seem to be able to reproduce this "feature" anymore now. Well, of course, that's after a reboot a while later.
In fact, now I've got a question then. Does that mean the on/off of the speaker can be controlled in software? AFAIK, like the iPAQ, it's controlled in the hardware, that means if you plug in a headphone, the speaker of the unit will be off.
Does that mean the on/off of the speaker can be controlled in software?

Yes, evidenced by the phone behaviour. Most devices use a simple contact in the headset connector to disengage the speaker, but obviously not the PE.

I would rather ask it to be a user defined option. I believe the current setup (both ringing) came after noticing that you can simply forget your headset plugged in so you may miss some calls.
But in some situations (ex: meetings) I would like to keep the headset plugged in and get the rining only through it.

MOTOROLA H300 BT HEADSET + Mini S

Hey guys and girls,
I am using MOTOROLA H300 BLUETOOTH HEADSET with XDA 02 Mini S, on WM6 (XM6). The headset functions well, except for the volume level - it's extremly low (even when set to maximum on the headset). Is there a way to increase it, maybe using some regestry BT stack tweaks?
I would gladly appreciate your help.
P.S. The headset is pretty loud when it works with Motorola V360
Use Mp3 Gain or.. Core player
I have the same on an Motorola 820 stereo headset. But it can dish out more power. For instance using Core media player you can Pre amp the sound. Downside is that the next buttons and play button don't work in that. So if you want use it fully with WMP. You have to use a program like MP#Gain to bring up the decibels of your mp3's I would say 92 decibels as a minimum. At least it works on my headset. So i don't think this has to do with headset limitations.
My problem is not music playback, it's not like H300 is a stereo headset. I am talking about simple phone conversations. The volume is just too low...I really don’t want to ditch this headset...so any help or advice would be appreciated...I am still not convinced that it's impossible to increase the bluetooth headset volume programmatically...
Sorry ...
i made a wrong assumption.
But i think i saw some reg tweaks to amp overal sound for Phone itself.
that's probably it!

Volume Control for HBH-IS800

hi
i just bougth a bluetooth stereo headset hbh-is800. it works great in handsfree mode to call, but if i use it as stereo headset to listen to music i am unable to change the volume. it always keeps at a very silent level. is there a way to change the bt audio volume on windows mobile?
i also tried coreplayer, but it is still very silent.
thanks
Does it do the same thing on a wired headset? Also, have you checked in HD Tweak or Advanced Config to see if the volume / dB limit is raised to 100?
no, it the wired headset works perfectly. the bluetooth stereo headset has no volume control, it depends on the mobile to adjust the volume. but the bluetooth volume is not changed if i change the volume on the mobile. it always keeps very low. i will check on the two tools you recommend.
thanks
david
any information on this???

[Q] Optimus V Headphone Volume for MP3 Player Use

I got the Optimus V at the recent Cyber Monday deal at Virgin Mobile - for one major purpose - to use it as an mp3 player for my car. I have not activated the phone, do not plan to, have wifi on it only.
The built-in speaker on it is pretty loud, so I am surprised that the headphone volume is very low. I have to turn my car volume all the way up to max to hear anything (driving highway).
I wonder if LG turned the volume low to prevent people from killing their ear-drums. Is there any solution out there without having to activate the phone and install alternate rom on it? I have turned the volume in settings all the way high, and I have Pandora, and I have set the audio setting to high on Pandora preferences.
Pls. let me know if my objective cannot be achieved without rooting and installing a custom ROM, I would prefer not to activate this phone.
Thanks for any help.
Shameless bump...I have Volume Control+ which does not help at all.
you hear low sound in headphone ?
what are you connecting it to?
Yes, I have a low volume on the headphone too. I connect it to the aux port on the car radio using a regular Stereo Jack. My Car radio is a Pioneer system, which has great sound with other mp3 players.

Sound from speaker when headphones connected

Hi,
I have the H850 (Titan). Small issue:
When I connect my headphones ( tried 2 different pairs), I can listen to the sound just fine from the headphones, but when I press the volume up/down buttons.. That annoying Android-volume-sound comes from the phone speaker and not the headphones..
Does anyone know how to solve it?
Thanks,
Gal
