Has anyone had problems with their Bluetooth volume being too low?
(Regardless of how high the volume is set)
The headset is a Plantonics Voyager 520.

I have that problem in my car, but Ford Sync hasn't been very solid on phone connections, so I don't know if I should blame the S3.

You do know that you can turn the volume up/down with the buttons on the left side, right? Not trying to be insulting, btw ...just pointing it out.

Hi Adam, it's my wife's Bluetooth headset...so anything's possible
Though it did work fine with her old flip phone.

I've heard of an app remedy the problem. However, in my mind I'd rather see a software update, rather than loading a third party app.....if that makes any sense.

Do you know which app?

Also, Verizon released an update to the OS. I downloaded it last week, I think. I manually went and checked for an update and found it. I don't know if they've started pushing it out to phones, yet.

Thanks for getting back so fast Adam.
Here is where I read about it: Low volume
Unfortunately it says it fixes the volume issue though sounds tinny.

Well, Verizon finally released the Jelly Bean update for the SIII. I give that a combined "Woohoo!" and "It's about time!"

I just happen to check for a software update this morning, and Verizon has a new one for the S3 in case anyone out there hasn't seen it, yet. One of the things that it supposedly adds is multi-window operation.

I thought the S3 already had that? My issue with it is just that I am not sure if you can choose the apps that go on the multi-app flyout?

From what I read this morning, at least one other carrier rolled that out to the S3 earlier. I just got it this morning, and I don't know much about it. I gave it a quick try, and maybe it'll grow on me, but it didn't seem like the most useful thing for my purposes.

Same here, the choices it has aren't exactly things I would expect I would need to multitask.
