Bluetooth In-Call Volume

SpecialAgentSicari · #1 (**permalink**) 09-27-2008, 10:39 PM

Hey guys & girls,

Hows it going? I have been away from the forum for a while (been really busy with work and school). But i digress. Has anyone figured out a way to increase the bluetooth in-call volume? Ive got my headset and my phone both maxed out and its still low, I live in Cali with that Bluetooth law, and I drive arround in a service van all day which is very noisy. It would be great if i could get the volume louder. I have tried different head sets too and they are all the same. I am currently using a Jabra BT8010. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome back special agent. I too struggle with this a bit, I use both the h700 and h 710, and didn't find any tweak that worked to increase the volume. However aftet I got my hand on a jawbone2 , I was no longer in a search for a hack,that thing is super loud, I use about 35% of volume, that is enough for me.Give it a shot.

I had one of those and it sounded really tinny, so I gave it to my dad. I am convinced that it is the phone. I used to use a Jabta bt350 and my Uncle has the same headset hooked up to a Sanyo phone. And that thing is super loud, I can hear what people are saying with it stuck in his ear. On the other hand I had a really hard time hearing out of mine.

You know there was a new release of the jawbone,right? the new one is a bit smaller than teh first one toO. Hopefully you will get some type of resolution. Hey,may be the HTC Pro will work better..lol

I heard you can update the firmware but I have no clue on this and I have searched.

Have you checked nueAudio though?

I would suggest you take a look at two from Plantronics. The GREATEST headset I have ever used, the 590a (stereo/looks like a normal set of over the ear headphones) sounds amazing durring calls or listening to tunes. May or may not be allowed while driving where you are.
And the Plantronics 925 normal earpiece style(works great with MSvoice command).
Both of these worked and sounded better than the new jawbone I.M.H.O.

Right but the firmware should work. :\
