I have seen the reviews online also which mention the same issue, is this a froyo thing or a Dell issue, hope they solve it with an update. I am using volume booster from the market which gives me a little more dBs, but compared to my iphone & blackberry, the volume level still sucks
look's like Dell issue

I also find that if I have the headphone jack plugged into the aux in my car, and I answer a call on bluetooth, when I come back to my music, the volume is even worse. I have to switch off blue tooth, then play my aux audio, and then re-enable bluetooth in order for the audio level to come back up to a listenable level. weird.........
Is there a volume control option for rooted devices that may fix this?

I don't know if whoever wrote the bluetooth stack for Android has Super Hearing or what.... With wired headphones, I have to turn down the volume or I'll blow out my hearing... But with Bluetooth, it's like a fscking whisper.
I have tried the voodoo sound, but apparently it only boosts wired headphones - absolutely not what I need! I listen to music over my stereo Bluetooth headset, or at least I try to. I usually give up in frustration.
Is there any hack/mod for the Vibrant that will allow an increase in BLUETOOTH volume?
Thanks!
Total opposite for me. My wired headphones sound terrible and tinny with no bass at all. Bluetooth on the other hand sounds fantastic. What type of Bluetooth headphones are you using?

Plantronics Voyager 855.
bump. I have a helmet with stereo bluetooth built in, I use it to listen to music and/or gps while riding the motorcycle. And I can't hear a thing once I get moving on the bike. On CM7 and Miui they have DSP manager and on my G1 there was the louder volume hack app.. but i can't find anything for 2.2 roms for the vibrant. I'd really like the ability. I tried adjusting the numbers under bluetooth in the volume section with the secret codes but had no success.
hi there, i have the same issue... i bought a motorola s10-hd and they sound good but very quiet...
On Bluetooth: I turn phone volume all the up then control volume via Bluetooth.
On Wire: REMIND MYSELF to turn down phone volume before wearing earphone. Sometimes I forget and OUCH my ears!!!
Anyone have a better method, please share.

Volume boost?
I have a Samsung Captivate that runs on Firefly 3.0 froyo rom. The problem is that the audio of music and most importantly videos are not loud enough. Voodoo control plus does a great job of increasing the volume for wired headset. But I use bluetooth headset to listen to music and watch movies. I can hardly hear the audio in noisy environments.
Can someone suggest some app or fix or mod to increase volume in bluetooth headset?
I came to know that volume+ app for gingerbread does this job. Any similar app for froyo? or Voodoo control plus can actually help with BT headset volume boost?
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.
I paired up my Note with my new Belkin A2Dp Car kit and found that I am not able to control the bluetooth volume for the phone/voice profile.
Voice input sounds distorted as does any voice going out to the speakers. In calls the person I am calling sounds distorted and they say I do also. Obviously voice commands are useless as the phoe cannot identify what I am saying properly due to the distortion.
It's as if the mic-boost is blasted all the way up for the voice call bluetooth profile, is this the same issue of Samsung's crap BT stack that they never seem to fix?
I tried using an App called A2DP volume to force volume settings on connect but they have no effect on the BT in call volume, even the volume rocker on the phone does nothing during a call.
I dont see any volume or mic controls on my bluetooth device as it is a car-kit.
The music audio quality over A2DP is excellent and not distorted at all.

Anyone? Surely other people are using BT headsets and car kits with their note?

Yep the A2DP profile is clear and sounds great, as I said in my post, but the phone call profile is distorted and blown out, adjusting the volume on the phone seems to have no effect on this profile.
To clarify...no issues on mine. .phone calls included

I had a similar problem with a Kenwood player once. I had to update the player from the Kenwood site to fix it.
I think it's a bit outdated, but did you manage to fix it?
I have this belkin device and the same volume call issue (can't use it for calling). Tried with the phones in my signature and with an iphone 4s and get this issue with both. Only with an iphone 3g I could control volume successfully. Maybe it's only compatible with apple devices. iphone 4 doesn't work because ios5 disabled bluetooth call volume control.
It's too disappointing..
Bluetooth Distortion
Hi there. I upgraded my SGS i9000 to Jellybean JRO03L recently - latest build is excellent. However, Bluetooth call quality is distorted as per Griffindodd but ADP2, although relative quiet is very good.
Can't figure out what options I have.
Have the same issue in terms of controlling car music volume on the dashboard, but haven't noticed call quality, just got the a2dp application and will let everyone know how it works
Update: didn't work, still can't adjust volume via dash

still nobody has any solution for this?

figured out a work around for myself, so I found that when playing through Apollo I could control the volume on dash but not while playing Pandora and others, so what ended up working is loading both, pausing Pandora, playing Apollo to get volume control, then holding down the back button to kill Apollo(make sure this is enabled in developer options in phone settings), then Pandora should start playing again all by itself and still have volume control.

I'm the kind of person who likes to use my phone as a GPS. Google's free navigation used to be a selling point for the OS, but it currently has some issues. Prior to Android 2.3, there used to be separate volume levels for media and navigation. However, these got combined into media so you can no longer tweak your navigation volume independent of your music. The end result is that the only way to make navigation audible in the car is to have the stereo volume at a level that would cause the music volume to bother many people (I usually drive with two toddlers in my car).
But there's another thing that I noticed. Switching between bluetooth output to line output (the car's AUX input) has an effect on volume, but not one that makes sense. Music played through Google Music (and other media players, including PowerAMP) is louder over bluetooth. I have to have the volume at 2 bars in my Fusion on Bluetooth to match the music volume set at 4 bars on line out. But here's the weird thing, navigation volume is not effected. It sounds the same on both, meaning that it suddenly becomes audible on line out.
Android is doing something weird where it amplifies music over bluetooth, but not other sounds. Anyone have any ideas on how to alter this? As it stands, bluetooth is more convenient, but it makes turn-by-turn navigation more difficult.
one time bump
This is an issue that's been affecting my device from the beginning. Sometimes the volume feels louder than usual: to prove it's not just my imagination, if I pause the device (or switch to another song), after resuming the volume is sensitively lower, although I assume the latter is what is supposed to be the regular volume. In order to restore the 'louder' volume, I need to unplug and quickly replug my headphones, yet it doesn't always seem to work.
I've been wondering if it may be related to the volume limiter included in the drivers that gets somehow disabled and then enabled after I pause and resume.
Did anybody experience this?
I'm using the Uk version of the Yp-GI1, it mounts a stock rom (rooted) and my music player is Poweramp.

I have similar issues, but it doesn't occur often enough for it to bug me.
My symptoms are that sometimes after starting playing audio (I mostly listen to podcasts using DoggCatcher), I can barely hear the audio at all. Unplugging the headphones and plugging them back in fixes the issue.
I always thought that it was a slight defect in my headphone jack causing this. I know when I wiggle the headphone plug when it is plugged in, the audio cuts in/out. As such, I have always kind of figured the defect was associated with the mechanism in the headphone jack that detects when headphones are plugged in (or something else in the jack).
The other audio shift that I notice is associated wtih podcasts that are recorded at a low volume level. When I listen to these, I have to crank the volume. When I pause and then resume the podcast, the player reverts to a lower volume automatically, which I then have to turn up. I have assumed this was by design so that you don't blow your ears out!
I agree that podcast are recorded at a lower volume, I'm a big listener too, but my issue is slightly different. First off it occurs with every pair of headphones/earphones I plug into the device, none of which is faulty. Besides, I don't know how the louder volume is triggered, but I do know that pausing and resuming, or switching to another song turn the volume down of 20-30% and it stays lower until I unplug and plug the headphones again...
