Q: IOS 7 updates have lowered my bluetooth maximum volume. Is there a fix for this?
I am using an iPhone 4 and since the IOS 7 update (and the following update 7.0.2) I have noticed that my maximum volume level on my bluetooth earpiece is far too low. I have checked the audio levels and set to maximum on both the iPhone and the Samsung earpiece. I have turned on and off sound check, and tried both turning off and using different EQ settigs in the phones music settings. I have also used a hard and soft shut down of the phone after changing settings with no solution.
I work in a loud environment and listen to audiobooks while I work. I had no problem in the past hearing, until the next morning after I updated to IOS 7. I have used wired earplugs and the volume level is fine, just the bluetooth seems effected. Unfortunately the wired earphones do not allow me the freedom I need to perform my job.
Is there another setting or fix that I am missing, or is this just a condition produced by the update and hopefully will be rectified by anouther update in the future?
Thank you in advance for any help.
iPhone 4, iOS 7.0.2
