I am wondering if anyone can exploit a glitch in the bluetooth audio volume on the xperia T
As most of you will no doubt be aware the bluetooth volume is rediculously low on the xperia T, i believe its low on most android phones?
However I have found that with all of volumes at max, If I go to setting, sound, volumes then set the ringer volume to max the volume to the bluetooth headphone literally doubles
Is this something that can be exploited by someone who is in the know?
I am desperate to get more volume from my phone via bluetooth as my headphones are very quiet in comparison to my old nokia n8, but more importantly music is rediculously low when connecting my phone to my car via bluetooth, its such a shame as both worked so well with my old nokia I would love to find a way around this problem.
Thank You

Try installing xposed framework and finding the mod that allows the advanced volume control. It seperates all the volume streams so blutooth volume is not linked to other volumes.
Search for it in google or the themes and app section

When connected via bluetooth I get the bluetooth volume adjuster on my phone when I use the buttons, however this is already at max, with all volumes at max it is still very low, however just pressing the ringtone volume, even without adjusting it as it is already at max, it plays my ringtone for a second thn suddenly I have twice the volume, despite all volumes including bluetoth were already at max, suddenly I have plenty of volume?

ok,
which ROM?
which firmware?
which kernel?
I don't know much about this, but if anyone is going to help you they will need this

Try this app : A2DP Volume, and set volume at max, it works for me.

This app does a nice job of setting media volume to max and works superb, however it hasn't solved the issue, even with all volumes set to max the Bluetooth volume is still very low, however just touching the notification or alarm volume slider and letting it beep, then doubles the output.
I have just flashed .145 Rom and kernel hoping it would fix the issue, but it still persists. Does it not do the same for everyone else?
I.e start walkman with Bluetooth headphones or car connected, start playing music, then go to settings, sounds, volumes and adjust the alarm volume, then the volume has Bluetooth output volume has suddenly doubled?
It didn't do it on custom Roms for me just sock ones, custom ones stayed quiet no matter what
"just touching the notification or alarm volume slider and letting it beep, then doubles the output."
THANK YOU! Fast little work around to get true max volume on my Xperia T. Can't believe Sony hasn't gotten this sorted after many updates. I can finally use my Jambox again haha!
The low bluetooth volume is a known issue on JB FW's for Xperia T. (read somewhere its related to actual JB rather than Sony only).
My fix for it is..connect BT headphone.. take a quick call.. just dial something for even a second n end...n volume increases on BT..
Hey together,
I own an Xperia V and want to use it in my car to be able to make calls without touching my phone.
In my car I have a Becker igo8 navigation system (active 43 control).
The problem is that even if I set the volume to max at the becker and the xperia, the in-call volume is really low.
Low means enough when the car is standing still, howewer no way to hear something at 30km/h or more.
I'm currently at Rizal's Rom (Lovins X Z2, A.2.5) and here are the things I've tried:
--> Practically any app on the appstore --> none boosted the volume
--> Viper --> Really nice, however regarding bluetooth it only boost the music volume not the incall volume
--> Modified the snd_soc_msm_2x_Fusion3-File. I've tried manually editing the parameters (RX Digital Volume) and also
used modified versions by other authors.
With a modified file I had it louder for one week. Then I wanted to write an android-app which changed the settings. By the time I was finished, the volume did reset itself to standard values (I don't know why), meaning that again it is pretty low.
I can't reproduce what I did to get it load again. I sat in my car for hours, trying to change parameters, save, reboot and test by making a call.
Next try: using the AlsaMixer-App from the market. While a call was active (mailbox) I changed __every__ setting which included "volume" in its name, I could find to the max that alsamixer told me. While I could change the speaker-volume this way, I wasn't really sucessful regarding bluetooth incall-volume.
One setting "Voice Rx Volume" I could change in between 0 and 5. When setting it to 5 it didn't change, however when I lowered the incall-volume with the slider and then increased it again, the volume was louder. Loader in this case however isn't nearly enough to make a call while driving. It also isn't nearly that load as it was before when playing around with the snd_soc-file.
One note: while I did all those tests, I was on Rizals old version of the rom. Now I am on the new version A.2.5). Don't know if that makes any difference.
This is why I am asking you for help. Any ideas? I would really love to be able to make calls, as it only is a matter of volume...
Cheers
One note:
Adding ro.config.vc_call_vol_steps=10 to build.prop also doesn't change anything.
I could find out via logcat that:
the "stream" responsible is "Voice RX Volume". Apparently 0 is the maximum, the higher the value the smaller the volume. Via alsamixer 5 is the lowest, by using the buttons on the phone in call, logcat displays level 100 at minimum. 0 is the maximum in both cases.
So, how to actually boost that Voice RX volume? I cannot find it in snd_soc_sms's fusion3-file.
Any ideas?
Hi Elarion,
Did you ever find a solution to your low call volume? I have the same problem on my Xperia T, volume on the Bluetooth headset is ridiculously low and I need to fix it!

Hi, folks.
I'm trying to increase media volume to my bluetooth earbuds. I just got a new pair and they're about 1/2 as loud at max volume than my last pair. I take a train to work every morning and it's very noisy, and the volume is pretty disappointing.
In mixer_paths.xml I've edited "RX1" and "RX2" digital volume values up to 92, and HPHL and HPHR volume values to 22 (were already at 20). It's having no effect whatsoever, so I'm wondering if there is another value I should edit for bluetooth volume. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Hi did you ever figure this out? I'm having this problem now.
Thanks-
You should try viper4android. Install the apk.
You might need BusyBox but I'm not sure. Change your
SeLinuxmode to permissive, you can do this using the
app selinuxmodechanger, also apk. Then in a file explorer
go to /vendor/etc and change audio_effects.conf to
audio_effects.conf.bak. Once you've done that go
to viper4android and click install drivers. Your phone might
act a little weird but that's normal just wait until it's finished then reboot. Go to the app and slide over to bleutooth and there you can make your earbuds louder by changing gain.
Hope this is clear
I am wondering if anyone uses any method to boost their speaker volume? The XZ1 Compact speakers, on max volume, are very hard to hear while driving down the highway or over basic kitchen noise.
maybe try this
https://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony-themes-apps/port-sony-xperia-xz2-sound-enhancements-t3772758
If you are playing a specific audio file or something like that then you can alter the file's levels, say in Audacity or Audition. This could reasonably boost the levels if the source file is not already leveled very high.
Or if you want system-wide volume boost you can drag all the equalizer parameters to max gain in settings-sound-audio settings-sound effects-equaliser. Both methods may result in clipping but if it's really necessary to go that loud I guess a bit clipping won't be a huge problem, where the problem more lies in the life of speakers being shortened as they are powered beyond their designated volume
Hello,
I've tried my best to make my title understable, but not sure if I succeeded
Basically what I want to do is to change the bluetooth volume control to have more volume levels. Now if I am listening to bt speaker it is either too loud or too quiet and nothing between.
My theory is that it should be possible to adjust the values of sound control in some file in rom.
I am not a programmer, but I remember I have done something similar on my Moto G, I've changed some values in a rom file and then flashed it.
I really don't remember how I have done it, but if there is someone who can tell how it can be done step by step, I would really appreciate it.
PS: I would like to change also volume for loud speaker, if possible to make it louder during calls, because I know it can play music louder
Thank you
