Media Volume Resets to Zero

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Occasionally the media volume resets to zero. So far I have been unable to find 
any cause of the reset. All other settings in the program remain the same. 
Also, while connected any changes made to the media volume in the program or 
out are forgotten upon disconnect.

Do you have Jelly Bean?  If so, set the volume delay to 15s.  Jelly Bean also 
tries to manage the volume, somewhat.  That messes with A2DP Volume as they 
fight each other.  Also make sure to uncheck "remember last used volume" in 
A2DP Volume.

I am using a Samsung Stratosphere (SCH-I405) which I believe has android 2.3 
for the OS. Currently the delay on the volume change is set to 10 seconds and 
the remember last used volume is checked. If remember last used volume is 
unchecked will my phone return it volume to zero upon disconnecting from the 
bluetooth device?

Thanks for the details, that helps.  The "remember last used volume" will make 
the desired volume when you connect return to where you left it when the device 
last disconnected.  I never use that feature but someone asked for it so I 
implemented it.

When the device disconnects, the volume will return to where the volume was 
just before connection.  However, some devices mess with this as they will 
connect, disconnect, reconnect, a few times when connecting.  

Try setting the media volume just before connecting.  Then connect and watch 
what happens closely.  It should connect, then after the delay set the volume.  
If you instead see it connect, then disconnect and reconnect make sure your 
delay is long enough for all that to complete before it sets the volume.

One other comment I just noticed: "while connected any changes made to the 
media volume in the program or out are forgotten upon disconnect".  The 
settings in A2DP Volume are not live.  In other words, if you change the media 
or call volume you are only changing the desired configuration, not the volume 
in real time.  These changes won't be used until a connect happens.  If you 
change them while connected, nothing will happen.  You must also save the 
settings and exit the settings screen or else the changes will not be saved or 
used at all.

The manual is here: http://code.google.com/p/a2dpvolume/wiki/Manual in case you 
have not read it yet.
