Just rec'd the OontZAngle for Mother's Day. The volume button doesn't seen to increase or decrease the sound when I press it. Why?? Is it defective??

Same problem with ours, so suspect there is a defect. My wife uses this speaker with an iPod, which does have a functional volume control. Probably not much help, sorry.

You should be able to increase/decrease by the buttons in the back or check in your phone or device if the bluetooth volume controls have been limited. Mine was just fine and i could easily do that from the device and also from my bluetooth phone.

Hi, You can use the volume buttons on the OontZ Angle to raise and lower the volume when using the speaker wirelessly with Bluetooth. If you are using the audio cable to connect, you do need to change the volume on your device the volume buttons do not function when using the audio cable.

it works for me, just by the normal up-and-down button pushing. could it have to do with the volume on the device you're pairing it with?

It may be defective, but before you send it back check the volume setting on the paired device. I had to adjust the volume setting on my Kindle to maximum. Also, try plugging the OontZ into an electric plug. Low battery power can impact volume. I hope this helps. I really like my OontZ.

Anthony: I talked to a friend that also use this device and she told me that you need to give a quick press on the + button. A long press will increase volume, but a quick press will change the music

I am having the same problem (I hadn't noticed the volume level though). Anyone have any ideas?

Yes, it's odd since the volume works perfectly. Ok, RTFM to me. The other commentor noted that you have to hold the button for 2 seconds. Solved - thanks. I don't listen to music too much using it since it's only one speaker (mono). When jamming I pull out the Bose headphones. :-)

Lisa, make sure your Kindle is in the case the correct way. If it is , you should be able to see the volume and off/on buttons in back. Mine wakes and sleeps by closing or opening the flap, most of the time. If it doesn't I just turn it off and on with the button on the back. Hope this helped.

Yes, check the buttons before you install. I have had two that the volume buttons did not operate.

The volume is quit loud. I only used it outside at a very loud event and it worked for me. I would suggest a stand to get it at a better height.

There is a small speaker symbol on the console - every time you push it, the volume goes up. I plug in my droid and listen to the music I have downloaded. I had the volume up to 12 tonight and it was plenty loud, even turned it down a little (other speaker symbol) - Hope this helps!

It's been a while but I'm pretty sure it has different times but will shut off after a max time. And the others are right. My granddaughter loved it. Hers had a volume switch that cut out when trying to turn it down. I sent another and let them know. I don't if others have had the same problem. Doesn't it say how long it will play?

On my device the volume both decreases and increases. It can be tricky because if you don't hold it down it will change the song if your listening to music through it. If yours does not increase, but it will decrease, I would venture to say that yours may not be working properly. You may want to consider returning it.

Hi James your comments were a Very Nice Surprise Thank YOU very much :-)I have also discovered that the reason I noticed the volume was a bit low was because I had the attenuator switch on the back in the wrong position because once I switched I noticed the volume increased which solved the low volume problem.I would post that online for others but I don't know how, sorryRegards, Gordon

U have to hold to button until it reaches the desired volume. Hope it works!!!

Have you tried increasing the volume with the buttons on top of your ooma device? There is a button under the picture of a speaker up at the right hand corner, the 3rd button from the right - press it and ooma will tell you if the sound is increasing. Another option is if there is a volume control on your headset, ooma isn't as loud as other devices. Because ooma Bluetooth doesn't have the volume the ooma phone has, you may want to make some comments on Facebook and Twitter - with enough support the manufacture will fix the problem. Good luck, I love my ooma.

There is two things that I noticed that control the sound. Answering the yes/no prompt when setting the timer, and the black volume control on the side of the base. Maybe this will help.

I just got the large one and let me just put this out there in case someone else has this problem. I paired this with my iphone and it wasn't playing music through it. So I "forgot" the speaker on my iphone. Turned the speaker off and back on and then held the "menu" button down to get it into pairing mode again and repaired the two and it started working fine. It would previously take calls and play them through the speaker, but not music. Not sure where the problem was, but it seems to be resolved.Sound quality and volume are pretty good for the money I paid. It feels like it's built sturdy and looks good. Haven't tried the aux out yet. I just got the large one and let me just put this out there in case someone else has this problem. I paired this with my iphone and it wasn't playing music through it.

I have no idea why. The volume control & on/off buttons are on the left side. If it's not working properly there is definetly something wrong with it.

It's much easier to turn your phone volume up the control volume using the + or - on the sound pop. push once do not leave the + or - button down
