Can anyone tell me why the telephone volume control on Bluetooth is greyed out on my Vodafone Note 10 plus 5g? Connected to the Bluetooth in my car I could do with the volume being higher than it is but the volume buttons on the phone do nothing as slider is greyed out.... Can this be enabled?

Just checked and its already disabled so that didn't work....... Any other ideas?
Cannot see why the volume control would be greyed and only half way. Bluetooth the speakers etc all have a working volume control but not telephone.

I think you have the device to be connected to the phone via Bluetooth for it to not be grayed out and be able to set it up.
After that it'll stay on, but showed greyed when disconnected.

The telephone Bluetooth volume control on the phone is greyed out when the phone is connected to my Mercedes via Bluetooth. Bluetooth telephone works fine in the car but I cannot adjust the volume on the phone as I can with all other Bluetooth devices. The volume slider on the phone is greyed out and set at 50% when connected so cannot increase the Bluetooth volume which I would like to do as the volume is low.

Did you ever figure this out? I'm having the same issue.

Connections>Bluetooth>Advanced settings
Dual Audio and Media volume sync, try toggling these.
These are known trouble makers that can toggle randomly dating back to at least N9. A recent Wearables update fixed one of these related issues I think.
When in doubt clear system cache in the boot menu.
If nothing else gets it, reset network settings (fairly painless).

auto-set volume control for headphones

Ive done some searching and cant find anything, but I know it must be out there.
Is there some software that will automatically set the volume down when I plug in a headset then raise it back up when I unplug the headset.
An icon appears on the screen designating that I am using a headset, I wouldnt think it would be that hard for the volume to remember its setting.
Any luck on this?

S9 bluetooth headphone volume too loud

This may be a weird one, I am aware... BUT:
I connected bluetooth headphones to my S9 for the first time last night, and it was mind-blowingly loud, not in a good way. Even with the volume all the way down, it was almost painful to listen to music at the gym.
Do you guys know of any apps that can make sound quieter or adjust volume to be somewhere between the bottom volume option and the 'volume off' level?
I toggled dolby atmos on and off to see if that made any difference, and when I turned it on it seemed to get a little louder, which I expected. I also went through the audio profile customization, and while the audio sounds great, it's still too loud
Any ideas?
Thanks!.
I may have solved this one on my own, so I'll post the potential solution for anyone who may run into this issue in the future
In developer options, theres a toggle for 'disable absolute volume' - turn this ON.
Some Bluetooth speakers or devices might have issues working with Android’s volume control. Normally, changing the volume on your phone should change the volume of the Bluetooth device. Some devices don’t work with this feature, or have the volume become extremely quiet or super loud.
If you’ve experienced this problem with your devices, try enabling this setting. Otherwise, you should leave it turned off for normal functionality.

That's it. I had the same on my Pixel 2 XL but I kept it set to "Off" because it still gets super quiet too if I need. It could be because the Pixel 2 has 25 volume steps rather than 15
On my note 9 there is also an option without the need of the developer mode:
Go to settings -> bluetooth -> advanced
There should be an option like "media volume sync"
Turn that one off and you can turn down the volume on your headphones separately.

Volume Limiter with bluetooth devices

Hello, i need help.
I have a Galaxy S9, SM-G960U1 that i bought directly to Samsung US fully unlocked.
I want to disable the Volume Limiter for when i connect a Bluetooth device, so I go to settings, sound and vibration, volume, and then the 3 dots up the upper right corner y disable the limitator but still when i connect to my car or other Bluetooth device the message of volume limit appears. I have even tried enable in the limiter ans setting it to the max and still the same thing.
I hope some one can help me with these.
thanks.
I also have the same issue.... I believe this worked on the S8 but perhaps it does not for S9?
I have same problem

High Volume Warning Notification

How do I disable volume warning notification? Its annoying and distracting when I have to use it particularly in my car with bluetooth paired. Have to always click on the notification and then increase volume again each time.
There is an Xposed module that disables the warning. But we are still far from having Xposed on the A70 unfortunately.

To get around this I use this app...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.darken.bluemusic
Once you set your desired volume level, I.e. Max volume, in the app settings, It automatically raises the Bluetooth volume to max when it connects to car.
The only caveat is that you will still have to manually up the volume passed the safety limit once, after everytime the phone is restarted. Other than that it raises the volume all the way up without having to press a thing.
Then when you disconnect from car Bluetooth it reverts the volume back to where it was....
Brilliant app...

Question VERY low Bluetooth volume

Any ideas other than changing AVRPC version to 1.6?
My bt volume is maybe half of what it should be, like there is a volume limiter or "safe volume" setting somewhere I can't find.
This is with all 3 bt devices I've used. It's horrible.

I've tried with enable absolute volume toggled on and toggled off
I guess I have not tried flipping stuff and rebooting after. I'll try that.
Ok, well I should do more and post less.
After a few reboots and retries I have good volume now. I unpaired and rebooted after trying several options, this is what I ended up with and it's working. I will have to test the volume in the car tomorrow.
