i really hope its me............. i hope its something i am doing wrong
i have heard virtually all HTC products...........and everyone has paired up just fine with my car bluetooth kit (BMW 3 series, 06 plate)
i eagerly awaited the Kaiser as the complete utopic device.............and i still think it is..............except..............THE WEEDY, TINNY, LOW VOLUME audio when on Handsfree !!!!!!!!!!!!
my carkit allows upto 4 devices to be memorised, so i have paired my HTC Touch, my HTC S710 and the TyTn II to it.......... the first 2 are perfect, rich, bassy sound with good volume that is perfectly audible even on the motorway.................
the TyTn II is VERY low, just about audible in stationary traffic and not at all bassy........... you remember those weedy HiFi systems that had about 5w Total output and could be bought for £29.99 !!!!!
i have seen a few posts saying the same thing........... i wonder if it is HTC's ROM that has this??? what about the T-Mobile users or perhaps the Dopod users??
i guess it is objective........... if you have never had a HTC device, you would have nothing to judge it by and therefore you are probably satisfied......but i have had LOADS of different devices, HTC and Mobile carrier branded, and none are as pathetic as the TyTn II on Bluetooth audio........... it is seriously stopping me using it as my main phone device which is such a big shame
PLEASE......... if anyone has any reg tweaks, rom upgrades, suggestions, ideas let me know.............. this £450 device is nowhere near as good as my wife's £30 mobile phone when it comes to audio...............
cheers
Mark
PS have to say, the audio is fine when you listen into the internal speaker or on speakerphone, so not sure it is the audio chip ???
Hi. I have the AT&T tilt and I noticed the same thing when using the audio section for playing mp3's via my Jabra BT620's when I play music using the built in wmp I cant quite get the volume I like so I switched to using CorePlayer 1.1.1 which has a preamp option in it and I can tell you for a fact there is nothing wrong with bluetooth volume when you do that. So it is probably going to be an easy software fix or even a simple registry hack to fix the volume issue.

that sounds good.............but as well as the Bluetooth volume its also the quality of the audio that i find hard to explain, no bass, just really tinny
but....... i would be happy to even increase the volume only at this stage!
Something to try: when bluetooth connection is active, tap the speaker icon on the taskbar of your today screen and turn the left hand volume slider up for more A2DP volume and the right hand volume slider up for more handsfree volume. I've tested the left hand slider & it works like a charm for hifi audio. On my 5 series, the audio sounded fine if I just bumped the volume using the steering wheel controls so I haven't tested the effect of the right hand slider on handsfree audio.

yep, bluetooth active, tap the icon, both sides up at maximum. place a call, turn 'in call' volume up to maximum, still really low and weedy !
tried the steering wheel volume and also the radio volume and still no joy!
as i said, all other devices are fine, just the tytn!
thanks for the suggestion though
maybe theres a problem with the bluetooth/wifi ariel as i have issues with my bluetooth totally failing when i turn on wifi
It works fine with the Lexus car kit. However the audio is mono and comes from the left channel only

if you dont want it in mono try PocketPlayer it will more then likely fix your problem. I love audible books, and this is now my default program for listening to them over bluetooth.
Definitely something wrong with mine. I think we should keep communicating with HTC until they fix it. My Blueant Z9 is unusable. No bass, and when I had the volume turned all the way up [both phone and headset], it almost broke my ear drum. Yet, I hardly can make out the sound coming from the ear set. I had no problem with 8525. It definitely has something to do with the antenna or the driver.
I am hoping HTC will respond to this asap.
I'm using a JawBone and what I notice, is when I use the headset to increase volume, the volume doesn't seem to actually be increasing, even tho the headset is giving acknowledgment beeps.
Seems I don't really have any control over the bluetooth headset volume. Nothing I can perceive anyway.

I can say that the fidelity on the bluetooth stereo is absolutely awesome on mine. I just used Coreplayer so I could boost the volume a tad using the preamp settings.
maybe each profile in your car kit stores unique settings for bass etc - have you tried fiddling with its settings?
There are several threads running about this. I have Jawbones and it appears that it's mainly the phone BT audio that has issues. I can use BT audio toggle and divert Coreplayer or SlingBox or iGuidance Nav sounds out to the Jawbone and they sound loud, bassy and clear.
I then place a call and the sound is wimpy and low. It's not and antenna problem, I use BT internetsharing and BT headsets all day long with this Kaiser with good range. It's "hopefully" a software issue between the phone's audio output to bluetooth. The phone's audio quality on the naitive phone's earpiece and speaker are very good quality, better quality, than my 8525 had.
It's frustrating, it's the only major flaw in the phone and HTC seems clueless in all the responses I've seen to date.
just in case anyone is interested, i have found a small improvement by doing the following:-
using a registry editor
HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Bluetooth/A2DP/Settings
change USEJOINTSTEREO from 1 to 0
if nothing else, it just seems louder.....................
hope it helps

Perhaps this tweak could be included in Chainfire's utility?
So as stated in the title, I can't adjust the in call volume when using the my Jabra BT160 headset. Regardless of how low or high I set the in call volume on the phone, the speaker volume on the headset doesn't increase.
the volume on the headset is all the way up and when I connect it to my motorola w490, i can adjust the volume just fine so the headset is not the problem for sure.
btw im running Open Touch 2.7
I've searched nearly every thread on the forum and tried every possible solution and go nowhere.
Any help?
so I found one last post that I decided to try out and it worked!
xqzmee said:
I found something that seems to improve the quality somewhat but I need others to verify because after playing with some many options I can not longer tell what is good and what is bad
Add the following key, by default it will NOT be there:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway\SpkVolume
DWORD:10
You do not need to reset the phone what you need to do is unpair your BT device and then pair it again for the settings to take.
Please try and post results.
Thanks.....

I had this key in the registry already, and it was set to 15. I increased it to 50, and the volume is comfortable for me at this level. This resolved the volume issue.
However, the metallic-like sound is still present, as is the crackle and pop. I guess that is a BT stack issue that will be resolved with an update. I'll keep my fingers crossed for that to happen

OMG!! THANK YOU BOTH
This worked on my WING device with Open Touch 2.7 rom
I dont know what the rest of you guys are doing wrong but this worked for me. The d word value Spk Volume [notice the space between spk and volume] was already in my Audiogateway directory set to default 10. I changed that to 50 as suggested by Vasquja . I soft reset and then repaired with my headset and VIOLA!
Problem solved.
Hi, this solution doesn't work on my energy rom.
Have you some other ideas for me?
thanks
Hi there,
the included headset has this nice small control element for the music player but sadly you cant unplug the headphones and use your own ones. I checked HTC's website for a small adapter, so i could use my own.
But sadly the adapter only offers a call accept/call end-button, no player controls.
Does anyone know a good headset/adapter with player controls like this, but for 3,5mm, working with the HD2?
Thanks!
wait a minute... you cant use your own 3.5mm headphones? that would blow. i hope you misunderstood you.

Nono, you didnt get me right^^...you can use your own, but then you have no microphone and no music player control through this small control unit.
What i want is to disconnect the headphones near the control unit so that i can use the microphone/control unit from HTC with my own headphones! But there needs to be another 3,5mm jack on the control unit...but obviously there isnt...
The link ive included in my previous post shows what i mean, its a headset from HTC for the Hero.
Hi there,
Why don't you use Shure SE530? It may not have the controls you are looking for ... but the sound ... ... just makes you forget all the things you have "thought" you wanted =)

Cause i dont want to spent half of the money the HD2 cost me for a pair of headphones God damnit, those things are expensive!
I wanna have the best of both worlds, thats why i would like to see this remote control with a separate 3,5mm jack for my own headphones...
I won Zagg headphones - good sound quality and it has a control button and hardware volume control. The button works with HD2 - you can stop/pause in the HTC Player. I did not check what it does during a call.

On the headphones that are included the answer/hangup button also performs the play/pause function. So I think they should work for you. Just no Fast Frorward/Rewind/Skip function.
maybe you can try bluetooth headset. I have Samsung SBH-500, sound quality is brilliant, and it have controls exactly what you need... (plus volume controls )

I agree! That's why I took out the soldering iron (and looking glass) and mounted my Sennheiser CX400-II's on the control unit of the standard headphones.
What I meant to say was that the HS U350 set may work for you because the one button should probably have the same double function as the middle one on the standard headphones

So you don't even lose microphone, because it's in this button housing right? First time, that you can do something with this equipment

Yeah, maybe thats the only choice we have left, if HTC is not able to get another type of headset out in the next weeks...
wont chopping and soldering headphones create massive oxidisation of the lead. Not to mention the increases resistance for the signal to go through poor quality copper cable then suddenly in to good quality OFC copper.
You'd probably lose 50% of the quality the Sennheiser are supposed to punch out.
If controlling music is the problem then you will either need to solder an existing control pad onto your headphones or use something like the rce100 that lets you use your own headphones.
If it's just the mic you need then you will probably be able to use your headphones as I've currently got the westone um3x (which has no inbuilt) mic attached to the hd2 and the phone automatically routes calls to the hd2's inbuilt mic when i'm listening to music with mortplayer. So provided your hd2 isn't out of reach you will be able to listen through your headphones and talk through the handset like on Nokias.
Does anyone know of anyone who creates mic/music controls that take your own headphones that might work? Doesn't the iFone support this? If I have to settle for play/pause only I will, but I'd like to keep the track skip if at all possible.
I have a pair of Bose earphones which are really nice, but it's much easier to hit the pause on the HTC 'phones when someone wants to distract me in work than turn the screen on, go back to the music screen, then hit pause.
I have one of these from MobileFun:
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/apple-iphone-stereo-handsfree-adapter-p15226.htm
Less than £12. It has vol slider and call/answer, you plug in your own phones. The call button works as play/pause in WMP, Sense and PocketPlayer, but haven't been able to get it working in MortPlayer. If anyone has any tips for getting it working in MortPlayer I'd appreciate it!
i have this combo, that work very nice

Which stereo bluetooth headset works with the HD2?
The SonyEricsson HBH-IS800 is really nice, but you cannot control the volume of this headset.
Nokia BH 500
I noticed that! You can't control the volume of any bluetooth A2DP devices. SO STUPID!! There must be a fix for this?
Sony DR-BT21G works as well with my Leo as it does with my Walkman. Volume control and track controls both work. Not too sure that it works with phone calls though, as I haven't yet tried it.

Just bought a Jabra BT3030 which was poor - volume was very low and sound quality was not great. The alternative was the Sony DR-BT21G - whats the volume and music quality like?
im using motorola s9 with wow driver on my leo .all buttons are working and sound is quite good.
Using the Sennheisser MM100 and they work very well.
Cheers

I got a sony DR-BT20NX works very well for movie and music, works well for hadns free too on all phones ive had in the last 2 years and with my PC and PS3, Only problem is the mic is halfway down your chest so not too good when outside.

I just ordered some Jaybird JB-200s so I`m hoping this will work with the phone... this phone already cost me a few extra euros just on accesories already and I don`t want a pair of useless earphones... I love JB though...

Hi,
I have this headset also and i'm satisfied with the quality of the sound. The volume is just right for me out of the box. So i didn't notice until now you can't change the volume from the phone.
I added two keys to blue-tooth registry, but i don't think it added to the sound-quality. Maybe there is a key for that volume. Still looking for a tool to do that. What it does do is randomly give me no audio during playback for 3 or 4 seconds :-( (Witch is really annoying). I get compliments from people when i''m on the phone about the audio quality. Even when riding my bike in windy conditions. So thats a good thing. I think the cord could do with another 5 centimeter. I think they forget about the difference in neck size of western people when they developed the thing Japan ;-).
Battery life is better than my old one.
Before this i had the HBH-DS980 on the TYTNII, but the cord broke. This one can display the phonebook and change volume and skip to the next song etc., but i think the size of the HBH-IS800 and sound quality makes up for that.
I'd like to hear from other owners of this device if they experience the same audio interruption problem.
Rgrds, Helssblade.
iam using Sony HBHDS980
Everything works fine including,
1. Music player in manila music tab play,pause,next, prev & volume.
2. Contacts display 7 browsing
3. Call history browsing.
4. In call volume adjustment.
Only problem is,
Need to increase the incall volume after every reconnection.
Nokia BH 503 works great with the LEO. Even coreplayer works with the pause play and next buttons.
Hi,
I'm listening music with the HBH-DS970 Bluetooth headphones.
I noticed, that the soundquality is quite poor, especially the high notes.
Are there any tweaky to improve the soundquality through bluetooth?
Thanks
Philips Taster SHB7110 works perfect!
Hello everybody!
I purchased this headset and works perfectly with my HTC HD2 (I'm installed previously the SRS WOWHD v1.5.1.0). Clear sound (for me) and very comfortable!

I have the same headset and the souns is like am radio,,I think at the problem is in the bluetooth configuration,this phone is coming whit bluetooth 2.1 and maybe this is one of the problems,the another one is att you cant no change the audio parameters in bluetoth like I do in my xperia,so spensive and so meny problems
HBH-IS800
DR-BT160AS...
...is working fine for me.
Everything like Volume, Skipping, Searching, Pause/Play and talking via the headsetfunction ist fine.
Voice is clear at the other end of the "wire"
Really light and works for about 6 hrs. on normal volume (hearing until jogging)
Just got my set of Jaybird JB200...
I had to edit this post and write my updated impressions about the set... The next/prev buttons now work like a charm, even with the main Sense player, which I still prefer over players like PocketPlayer or Core Player... The peering is still kinda sketchy... The phone doesn`t ask for the key of the set and sometimes it does not register Stereo sound from the first try... It seems the way to make it register stereo is having a stereo feed live... like a song playing... The sound itself is very good, I`m satisfied with the quality and the look of the earphones...
If anyone knows a solution for the peering problems please give me a tip...
hello.
I have very annoying problem since day one on my Galaxy S I9000 with FroYo. The volume on headset(original) is too low, barely audible, unless I press and hold the button that is on the headset. I have tried to hook up stereo speakers with 3.5mm jack and they have very low volume as well. I have tried headphones from motorola and blackberry - same thing - low volume unless holding the headset button.
I have Hannspree Hannspad SN10T1 as well and it has the same problem, it runs android 2.2. No matter what volume boosting apps I use the problem persists on both devices.
P.S. Same headsets (samsung original, blackberry, and motorola) I used to test both devices - work perfectly on my motorola defy phone. So I presume that the headsets are OK. It must be something wrong with Galaxy S and Hannspad.
Both devices are hard resetted and non-rooted.
Any help will be apreciated.
Thanks

Absolutely sure. Even tried to pull it a bit, but then just one of the headphones working. The plug goes all the way down as it should, still very low volume.
I can't be the only one with two completely different devices running android 2.2 that share absolutely the same problem.
Is there any software that can swap channels on the headsets? or swap channel for the microphone with one of the speakers, because it seems to be non-propperly configured channels to me.
Any other suggestions?
the pin-out configuration for these phones are different from most and the only headsets that i know that are compatible are nokia headsets. theres also adapters you can buy that will convert the wires the right way so the earphones/mic/button all work properly.
this one is confirmed to work: http://www.meelec.com/MEE_TRRS_Adapter_for_P_Version_Headphones_p/adptr-trrs-35.htm
Thank you very much for clearing that out evil-doer !
I will try one of those.
I thought - when I had this problem - that my headset was defect. So I bought a new one from eBay.
Everything is nice so far - The new one is working great.
I hadn't the chance to test if it's working on another device.
is there to solve this through the service mode?
