Welcome

This is the new blog for A2DP Volume app for Android. Visit the Google Code page for more details or to download the app. http://code.google.com/p/a2dpvolume/ . It is also available on the Android Market, Amazon App Store, and Motorola Shop4Apps.

A2DP Volume is an Android app to automatically adjust the media volume on Bluetooth A2DP connect and reset it on disconnect. This is done so the stereo streaming audio will work properly. Intended primarily for car Bluetooth systems. Also automatically captures location information so you can find where you left your car. The location can also be automatically captured when exiting Car Mode on your Android device. The location can be read by any app that understands GPS data such as Google Maps, GPS Status, web browsers, etc. Each paired Bluetooth device can be configured to your liking.

This app has experienced scope creep now and it does much more than originally intended. In addition to the media volume and location features, it now can automatically launch apps and shortcuts, connect to another A2DP Bluetooth device when the first device connects, and turn OFF WIFI when A2DP is active. A2DP Volume also works with car docks and home docks.

The main version of this application requires Android 2.2 or higher. There is another version for Android 2.1 which is the same except it does not support car mode or certain location features and configurations. The A2.1 version is no longer updated or supported. As soon as you get Android 2.2 or later, uninstall the A2.1 version and upgrade to the latest main app. See the wiki entry called upgrading.
