Volume not controling Bluetooth

[PolishVendetta]

Earlier this year I purchaced a Sony HBH-IS800Z but has seen very limited use with my TP1. Recently I was able to get a TP2 through my waranty and no taking the bus to work, where these will come in handy.

The problem, after syncing last night for the first time, the headphones play at earsplitting full volume and changing the volume on the phone does nothing to effect the volume of the music playing.


I was hoping someone could tell me if there are known issues with volume control on the TP2 with Bluetooth, or Windows Media Player mobile and if theres a fix.

I have the same problem but with multiple bluetooth peripherals. Before anyone chimes in that the new 6.5 based ROM's solve this problem, I am running Verizon's newest 6.5 ROM. I think there is no fix until someone changes out Widcomm, the piece of junk bluetooth stack that HTC chose.

Sorry for not having a solution to your problem. I just wanted to share the fact that I use the Stock Sprint ROM and I run several bluetooth periferals on my TP2 withiut a problem. I have Moto S9's, Moto S9 HD's, Samsung WEP 200 earpiece, Samsung WEP 500 earpiece, and an Insignia NS-BT300F iPod Speaker adapter. As well as my blutooth dongle I use to transfer data to and from my computer. Not sure if your problem is with the ROM or your specific headset. (BTW I really like those Sonys)

I'm at wrk now but im going to try a few other roms tonight. I was using Groove Rom, but got tired of how small the clock was on Titanium, so I'm back to the stock sprint rom.

I'll post my results later tonight for anyone whos interested. Are there any sugestions for a Manilla rom that is good with bluetooth? I dont do anything other then listen to music.

Im on a stock sprint tp2 and use a jabra bt3030 and bt8040 and both can control the music volume.

I have tried Energy Rom and Mr X Rom and Grove Rom, all of which I have the same issue.

Apearantly this pair of headphones has the same issue on multiple devices, namely the Iphone 3GS had lots of posts dedicated to this topic. Also found what some say is the culprit,

"-Your phone must support AVRCP, A2DP, HSP, and have Bluetooth 2.0"

Many posts i found said the bluetooth on multiple phones is lacking that. However these worked fine with my Touch Pro, and not with my Touch Pro 2.

If anyone else has any information on this topic specifically with the Sony Ericson HBH-IS800 feel free to add to this.


There is a workaround, where if you use a media player that has an equalizer setting you can turn that all the way down, however I sugest you put your phone on silent so you dont blow your ears out every time you get a call/text

Too bad those headphones don't work that look awesome, I would definitely get those if they worked with the TP2...

[PolishVendetta]

they also sound great. I loved them for my TP1. I doubt this is possible but it would be nice if someone to take the BT stack from the TP1 and cook it into a rom.

Well, I have this problem with the stock Sprint ROM and a Motorola S9... luckily the Moto has its own volume control. I don't understand why some Sprint users seem not to have this problem. Perhaps a registry setting but if they have not hacked this? I have used the clean up script, but I think this did not work before the clean up.....

It all depends upon if your bluetooth headset can control the volume on the phone. It is a headset issue not phone issue.
