Iphone bluetooth volume

I am on my second iphone bluetooth.
I returned the first one because the volume was so low I could not hear anything.
_**The volume IS turned all the way up on the iphone.**_
The replacement bluetooth was perfect until a week ago and now it is doing the same thing.
I also noticed that when I have the bluetooth on, the mute feature on the phone has no effect on the volume.
Does anyone now how to restore the volume level?
Has anyone else had this problem?

There seems to be some issue with these bluetooth headsets. I exchanged my original headset from my original iPhone twice over the first year of use.
I bought a new headset with my iPhone 3G, and I just requested my 2nd replacement on that one - after only 7 months...
I don't know what does it, but something causes the volume to fade over time, to the point that it is almost inaudible. The key seems to be that even the signal beep fades, and this seems to be independent of any device that it is paired with, and the volume setting from the iPhone.
Using the headset on other devices (ie MBP or other iPhone), does not effect the volume. Replacing the headset produces a significant increase in volume. It always amazes me what a difference there is. With a new headset, I find that I must keep the volume about half way up.
Over time, I find that I am increasing the volume. Once I reach the max, I know it is only a matter of time before I won't be able to hear any more. The last replacement I had only lasted about two months.
It almost seems like a battery issue. I have tried charging the headset daily, and also only charging it when necessary. I have tried letting it run all the way down - hoping that this would reset the hardware, and then charging it up. One time I thought this worked, but the effect seemed to be temporary.
I am always careful NOT to leave the headset in the car where it gets hot or cold...
We need a 2.0 version of the headset! Thank goodness for the replacement warranty. Don't know what I am going to do after a year...

Iphone 4s bluetooth volume problems through Alpine HU

Having trawled through numerous reports of bluetooth problems with the 4S I have not found one which replicates my issue although I could have missed it.
Essentially I think my query boils down to " Does the 3GS output music, via bluetooth at a higher level than the 4S, assuming both using IOS5.0.1" .Because my new iphone 4S is much much quieter than my old 3gs and I want to establish whether this is a software problem or a faulty unit.
For the last couple of years I have been using a 3GS which paired perfectly with my Alpine CDA-9887/Bt400 stereo in the car, handled calls well and when playing music via the bluetooth input ( which it did exceptionally well) it was at the same sound level as the other inputs for a given vol setting, i.e. I could switch from radio, to disc to bluetooth withouth changing the volume.
Having just changed to an iphone 4S I have found that although the unit pairs ok and seems to handle calls well enough (although rather mushy sounding compared to 3GS) it is very quiet when using the ipod function via bluetooth.
Volume and sound quality are very subjective I realise but to give an indication of the problem, the Alpine head unit has a volume scale from 0-39. On all inputs (except with the 4S) a volume of 5 is fine for spoken voice, 12 good for music on the move 21 is very very loud pushing the cars speakers to the limit. These levels are approx the same when playing music through an iphone 3GS and an ipod touch via bluetooth.
By contrast the iphone 4S is inaudible at vol 5, needs 20 to be listenable to on the move and even at vol 39 sounds thin and about as load as a 3GS at vol18 so ful vol not possible from my iphone 4S
The main problem with this is that if you are listening to music from the iphone 4S then switch to the radio without remembering to drastically reduce volume it is likely to result in damage to the speakers and/or your eardrums. The problem is compounded as I use the TomTom app regularly and this exibits the same problem, the volume needs to be very high for instructions and then if I change input to listen to the news....ouch.
I have tried 2 iphone 3GS's and an ipod touch on this Alpine unit and they all work perfectly, being able to maintain the same output for a given HU vol level as the radio etc. I have tried increasing the bluetooth volume on the 4S handset, have tried clean restore to see if there is some obscure problem with my backup all to no avail.
Has anyone upgraded from a 3GS to a 4S and found the music level in a car via bluetooth much quieter, the same or louder and does this sound like a hardware problem.
thanks.

Funny Apple told me to eat **** and call my car place.
HELP !!!
It’s not like we are working with Samsun here. They should have thought it out fixed all the bugs then went ahead. I am...... ******! My 3 week old Volkswagen Tiguan no longer plays my MUSIC nor my Audible. Its so not ok. This is a breach of contract. I am told by apple you don’t have to update but my carrier said just the opposite our phones will not work without the updates...
Apple get you crap together, I had such respect you. You have let a lot of apple fans down.

Looking for a Bluetooth headset that can control the iPhone's volume

Hey guys,
I'm looking to buy a cheap bluetooth headset that can control the iPhone's volume. The reason why I'm looking for that is because I want to take remote pictures. I currently have the Motorola H350 and it does have volume buttons except they control the headset's volume, not the iPhone's.
I was wondering if you guys could help me.
Thank you.

Like ur self, I'm also looking for a bluetooth that can trigger the cam on iphone 4s, mainly for moment when I'm all alone for a picture.
Have tried the following earphone without success, all purchase through Apple Store, guess will have to source somewhere else.
1. Jawbone ERA - failed
2. Bose BLuetooth Headset series II - failed

Lost ability to control bluetooth volume with iOS 4

I have an iPhone 3Gs and upgraded to iOS4 last night. Everything works well except that I can no longer control my BlueAnt V1 bluetooth volume via the headset or the iphone. I have re-booted the phone, re-paired the headset to no avail. The volume control works fine for speaker and phone directly, but stays on high with the bluetooth... Any other suggestions? Is it just a new software glitch?

Did you only try re-pairing your did you delete the old pairing first.
Try deleting the old pairing in both the phone and the BlueAnt, restart both devices and then try re-pairing the two together.
In the iPhone to delete the pairing;
Settings - General - Bluetooth - Select the blue arrow of the device - Forget this device
To restart the iphone, hold home/sleep buttons together until you see the swipe to turn off and do that. The turn the phone back on.
You'll have to look up your user manual on how to delete the pairing in the BlueAnt.
Hope this is a help

Bluetooth Volume Control

I have a iPhone 3GS 32GB with IPFW 3.1.2 (7D11) but i noticed that there is no option for volume control for bluetooth devices. I have a Sony Ericsson HBH-IS800 and they work great but the music is always so loud. I tried to use the volume limiter and the volume adjuster in iTunes track properties but i was unsuccessful in changing the volume level. It is very annoying on some tracks. Volume control is only available while making calls. Is there a fix for this problem?

The current iPhone bluetooth implementation requires music volume control at the headset. You need a headset with a volume control.
You can send Apple feedback at this link: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

IPhone 4S volume sometimes doesn't work ?

My iPhone 4S volume sometimes will stop working and the volume slider will disappear and go grey , the ringtones work and everything it's just very annoying !

Hi Matthew. Lawless,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you do not hear sound from the iPhone speaker, try these steps:
Verify that the volume is set to a level you would normally be able to hear.
Ensure that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack or the dock connector.
If the iPhone is in a protective case, make sure that the speaker port isn't blocked by the case.
Make sure that the speaker and dock port aren't clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush. Carefully and gently brush away any debris.
If an audio issue occurs when using a specific application, try testing other applications to see if the issue persists.
If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or car kit:
Try turning off Bluetooth.
If you experience difficulties with the Bluetooth feature, follow these troubleshooting steps.
Restart the iPhone.
If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
If the issue is not resolved after restoring the iPhone software, please contact Apple Support.

iPhone: No sound or distorted sound from speaker

Bluetooth volume low with new ios4 update

I can hardly hear the notifications on my Bluetooth now. It's at normal volume when I send a message but if I recive a email or text the volume is very low yet I have all volumes up all the way. Is there a new Bluetooth volume I have to turn up with ios4? Or is it that another update screwed with the Bluetooth again. Was working just great befor I updated to ios4. Please help I'm missing lots of emails and notification. Thanks!

It's not so much of a volume issue it's more like the Bluetooth update has made it so that text alerts and such are not making a sound because it transmits too quickly now to the Bluetooth device. For example I can hear my Bluetooth click on for the alert but the iPhone has transmitted the alert too fast for the sound to come. I get the alert about 1 out of 5 times. Yet the only way I'm able to know I get alert is like is said cuz I hear my device click on for the sound. Don't get me wrong though the update to the Bluetooth technology is great cuz it has faster audio with video and iPod and other things. It's just this bluetooth text and email alerts are not working properly. The ringer works great for calls too actually better with the new update cuz I now get the song transmitted to my bluetooth not just the standard beep anymore which I like.

Iphone 4 volume buttons not working

iphone 4 volume and mute buttons not working, checked all settings they are all fine and when headphones in it works??? When I take out headphones the volum buttons do not work, when phone rings or text receives only vibrates???? HELP!!!!

This could be due to some debris or dirt inside the headphones jack that makes the iPhone think that the headphones are connected even when they are not.
Try to see if you can clean the jack being very careful, with canned air as sold in electronics store. Some people have been successful by introducing and withdrawing the headphones jack several times in a row to displace whatever is in there if it is lodged in.
Avoid introducing anything else like a pointed object. You could damage the jack.
If all of this does not work, I would try first resetting the phone by holding the home button and the power button together for about 15 seconds or until the whilte apple appears, then waiting until the phone resets. If the problem continues after this, take it to an Apple Store to see what they believe should be done.

Work around with Connecting iphone bluetooth

I read earlier this week about a work around with connecting the iphone bluetooth. I forgot to save a copy of it. Does anyone have a copy or link to it. I think it was 10 or 11 steps. Thanks!

You cannot pair a MacBook (or any computer for that matter) with an iDevice. That function is not supported.

3GS doesn't fit into iPhone Bluetooth Headset cradle?

Just got my first iPhone, the 3GS. However, I already own the iPhone Bluetooth headset, which comes with a cradle that it supposed to accommodate the bluetooth and the iPhone. Since the new 3GS supposedly has the same dimensions as previous phones, it should fit, right?
I tried putting the 3GS into the cradle and the latter was a tiny bit too small. The phone almost fit in the port but didn't, and I didn't want to force it. Anyone know if it's supposed to fit?

It is not supposed to fit, and murray65 is correct - Apple never made a dual dock for the iPhone 3G, and in fact, early this year they discontinued the Apple Bluetooth Headset. You can either just use the travel cable to charge both devices, or you can use a Dremel (or carton knife, etc.) to widen the opening in the dock for the iPhone to accommodate the slightly larger and more rounded iPhone 3GS. See the last few posts in this thread for some links to pics of the process.

Does the iPhone 4S volume speaker is not loud?

Doed the iPhone 4S volume speaker is not loud?

If you are asking for the relative volume of the speaker, it should be loud enough to make calls in a quiet to moderately loud room via speakerphone or otherwise.
If you are asking if it is normal for sound to only come out of one side of the speaker at the bottom of the phone, then yes. One side is the speaker, and the other side is the microphone.

Does iPhone Bluetooth works when paired with an Android phone?

Hi I wonder if an iPhone bluetooth is compatible with android phone or other devices? I want to send some pictures from my iphone to my laptop but I am not sure if its going to work. Please advice. Thanks.

No.
There are some 3rd party apps that provide for transferring select data via bluetooth with your computer.
This is for security reasons especially with a very insecure Android device.
