Sony Ericsson HBH-IS800 - Can't Control Volume From iPhone 3GS

Yes, I too have the same problem, in that I cannot control the volume of the music being streamed to my Sony Ericsson HBH-IS800 bluetooth headphones, via either the hardware or software volume controls on my iPhone 3GS.

The volume level seems to be "locked" when the headphones are used, and it is locked at such a high level, the listening to streamed music would probably damage your hearing!

Is there any chance Apple will update their bluetooth settings to allow music volume to be adjusted via the iPhone?

How does one contact Apple to ask them?

I have the same problem - and therefore the same question.
Does anybody know how to contact Apple to ask them if Apple will update their software to allow the music volume to be adjusted?

Yes, exactly the same problem to me. Apple has to change that in OS 3.1.

Bye

Same here with the 3G

Have any of you updated to the latest 3.1 iPhone firmware? If so, does this problem still exist with the HBH-IS800?

I have updated to the latest 3.1 iPhone firmware and unfortunately it did not help. It is still not possible to lower the volume.

Apple does not support AVRCP, only A2DP. This may change in the future but has not changed in iPhone OS 3.1.

This is not a bug, this is a design decision.

You might want to invest in a set of headphones with integrated volume controls. I like the Morotola S9-HD's myself.

Hi,
I just bougt the HSH IS800 headset and discovered this malfunction.
Volume control works when having a phone call.
It does not work when listening music.
Audio is audio ; there is no (functional) reason that volume control depends on the audio source (phone call or music).

So this is not a design decision. This is a bug.

I too have the same problem. I just invested a large amount of money on an iPhone and the least Apple can do is listen to us and put in a patch for this bug in their next OS release....hopefully soon.

How do you get it to pair? I can't seem to connect them. Wud appreciate some tips here on how to connect them... Thx!
