manos libres = handsfree

update: it doesnt even work as hands free.

When it is connected to A2DP then you should have a small headphone icon on the top bar. If it is not there then you won't hear anything through the headphones.
You need to test the headphones on another device or test another A2DP headset.
You could also try BatteryStatusPlugin which via the options can place a small bluetooth icon in the taskbar at the bottom, and when you click on this it gives the option to reconnect to A2DP headphones. I use this whenever mine becomes disconnected as it saves me having to turn them off and on again.
The 'Ebay' word has me slightly worried for you though!

If it's possible, I would try to update (or downgrade, even) the headset firmware. I once had this problem with my Jabra 8010 and that was the only way I got round it.

[Q] Toggle "quickly" between 3.5 headphone to bluetooth?

It seems to be a common problem specific to Samsung models. I'm wondering if they have fixed it in their new devices.
I'm on an SGS4G now, and waiting to get the Note 2 when it's launched here in the U.S
Here's the scenario:
I have my phone mounted on my dash in my truck. Listening to podcasts by running out of the 3.5 headphone jack and plugged into the aux. input on my dash stereo. If at this point I have the bluetooth connected, then the audio only comes out of my bluetooth. If I don't have BT connected, then the audio comes out the truck speakers.Which is good. However, when I get an incoming call, I have to
a. Unplug 3.5 from phone
b. power on BT headset
c. press BT power button in toggle bar on phone
d. wait for them to scan and connect
thus missing the phone call.
From what I have found online, Samsung is the only company that has this issue. It seems like with HTC, Lg etc. the phone has an option for the user to change in settings to change to bluetooth on incoming call automatically.
Can anyone confirm if this is an issue with the Note 2?
Thanks~

Disconnect "Media Audio" from the settings for your Bluetooth headset and you can get audio out via the headphone port, and still have calls routed to your BT headset.
Regards,
Dave

Looking for a Car Speakerphone with Specific Features

I've got one right now that works nicely, except my phone doesn't disconnect from it when I leave my car and go into my apartment. If it runs out of battery power, it does not turn on automatically. I plan on buying another that powers on automatically and ripping out or killing the battery so that it only stays on when getting powered on by the car.
I'd like one that:
Turns itself on after losing power
Auto Connects to my phone
Has a built in speaker (instead of using the car's speakers)
I'd prefer it to have suction cups to mount on the windshield, but I can always easily attach it myself.
I'd prefer no voices telling me it's powering on/connecting
I thought I found one that would auto turn on with power as it has a physical switch to power on, but then saw this youtube video and think the voice would get very annoying very quickly. It depends on how loud the voice actually is in person I guess.

I recommend JABRA Speakerphone. Most of them has many feature like auto connect, auto on-off, etc.
Jabra FREEWAY Bluetooth Speakerphone
Jabra DRIVE Bluetooth In-Car Speakerphone
Jabra TOUR Bluetooth In-Car Speakerphone
Hopes help.

FM Radio and Bluetooth audio simultaneously?

I bought a Android head unit and usb-dongle, as an affordable way to run wireless Apple CarPlay. The headunit is a 'Radio KKXXX T1' running Android 8.1. The dongle is from the company Carlink in China.
CarPlay works by starting the app AutoKit which came with the dongle. It communicates over Bluetooth and Wifi with my iPhone.
Most is fine, however I can't seem to listen to the FM-radio in the headunit simultaneously with audio from Google Maps or Apple Maps. So when the FM-radio is playing, the voice directions are not audible. When voice directions are audible, it kills the FM-radio permanently.
I can only play the FM-radio solo, or Google Maps audio solo, but not both at the same time.
Is there a solution to this problem?

you might have to go into factory settings iirc

Try setting one of those navigation apps to the default navigator and set Android to use the supplied TTS (Pico TTS?) as default for the system. Set navigation sound options to Mixing.
Hopefully this will allow the default navigation app to work with the radio on.

No audio on most incoming Bluetooth calls

My S20+ has had this problem almost as long as I've had my vehicle (with Ford sync 3). For whatever reason, if I take an incoming call on Bluetooth, about 80% of the time, there is no audio - I can't hear them and they can't hear me.
To troubleshoot I have to switch to speaker, then we can both hear each other.
If I'm on Android auto (wired), I have to unplug, then hit speaker.
My wife's Galaxy S21 ultra never does this.
It never happens on outgoing calls.
It seems equally likely to happen whether I'm using the phone for Bluetooth media (podcast app, separate music app both seem equally likely) or not using it for audio at all (i.e. Just listening to the radio)
It seems equally likely to happen whether I'm on Android auto (wired) or just connected to Bluetooth the old school way.
The only commonality is that it's on incoming calls on Bluetooth. I've been unable to identify what factor is different on those rare occasions when it does work
Twice I've tried completely unpairing and starting fresh. That seems to work, temporarily. But eventually it goes back to its old ways, so this is not a solution.
Are there a few developer options I may want to try checking on or off to see if they'll help? I don't want to go messing with that stuff unless it's recommended by someone here. Any other ideas?
