Trying to find some feedback from anyone using the BlueAnt V1 bluetooth headset with the EVO.
I'm having problems with the headset not answering calls maybe 85-90% of the time. It announces there is a call, but will not answer via voice command or hitting the button. I can answer via the phone but when I do it doesn't transfer voice to the headset. The headset thinks it is connected because when the call is ended it tells me.
Have done two factory resets on the phone and resets on the headset with no change. Also spoken to Blueant tech support and they weren't much help. All they said is they haven't heard of it having problems with the EVO and should be compatible with all Android devices. Their suggestion was to try it with another EVO and see if the problem still exists. Well, I don't have another to test it on so that does me no good. This headset worked great on both my Blackberry phones before I got the EVO and has the latest updates installed.
BTW...I'm running Myn's RLS4 w/ #17.
Thanks.
Well I don't think it is the Bluetooth , it is the Rom. I have problems with myns #4 with the sync in my email. I have a blue ant also and it does the same thing . I have tried other roms including virus and it works on them , try that .
sent from the phone that is EVO
Pretty sure I tried this headset when the phone was stock and with some other Sense and non-Sense roms. It has never worked properly.
Not sure if it has something to do with the lockscreen or not. The first time it is connected to the phone it works fine. But every time after that, it doesn't connect the call.
I haven't had any problems running anything on Myn's. But just to make sure, when I switch a rom again I will reset and try the headset.
yeah mine does the same thing, it works if i answer w/ voice command but if i press answer button most of the time the audio is route to phone speaker......Lame!
has anybody with a blueant tried it with cyanogenmod? i wonder if the different bluetooth stack yields different results. I'd like to see an app update for the blueant software too (had a cheaper headset that stayed connected way better)
When I pair the headset, it connects and works great the first call I get whether using voice command or button to answer. Then every time after that, it won't connect the call.
Maybe it has something to do with the lockscreen or the phone going to sleep. I will have to do some trial and error.
Currently I am trying out the headset with MikFroyo 4.2 (Sense rom) to see if it makes any difference. This rom is really close to stock so maybe it will work?
I will post back with my conclusion.
My headset works fine now. I have found there is a coding issue that exists in certain roms such as Myn's and CM that prevent proper operation. CM seems to have put together a fix for it. Myn's still does not work at this time. It has been requested as a fix for RLS5 final.
Running eVoKINGS Black Titanium with Mik's 4.2 base and my headset works good.
hey where is the fix for CM or is it just in some of the versions? cause i just flashed CM7 and some of the features i loved about the Blue Ant before are not working like it will not play my audio like it did before i use to be able to listen to my music and what not through the blue tooth. if there is a fix for it i would love to get that working again.

Sorry...it's been a while and can't remember where I read about the fix. If I run across again will let you know. Might try downloading "BT mono" from the Market to see if that helps. Not sure if it is effective on AOSP or not but worth a look.

For some reason my microphone doesnt work during calls at all in android. i tried 1.5 and 1.6 some months ago and because the mic didnt work i didnt use it at all. once i heard they had 2.1 out i got it on and still, no microphone during calls. i thought 2.1 would have fixed the problem, but obvioulsy its an issue with my phone.
is this just a setting i need to change? i tried searching the 2.1 elcair forum and i didnt find anything about anyone elses mic not working. during a call i can hear the other person pefectly, they just cant hear me.
also, the speaker doesnt work, for ringtones and such. is this still an issue that hasnt been resolved, or is it a problem again with my phone. when i try to change the ring tone it freezes the program and i have to force quit.
any help would be awesome and would make me happy. THX
(im just trying to get it to work, i plan on upgrading to the HTC Evo 4g when it is released)
could this be because my default.txt isnt set up correctly?
I have audio problems with calls if I use the voice search feature. Are you using any kind of voice input methods before trying to make a call?
Also, on the builds I have tried (haven't upgraded in a while) the speakerphone feature wasn't working. They may have fixed that in the newer builds, I don't know.
no i havent been using anything else on there... just no mic during calls. its the first thing i test every time i reinstall android. and still nothing. and yes, my mic works in windows mobile every time i reboot.
im aware the speakerphone doesnt work... but i thought that was only during calls as a speaker phone. does the speaker work for ringtones? or was that what wanst working.
the mic works in all builds and the speakerphone works for both donut and eclair with the newer builds, after applying the updates. Make sure you have the latest radio flashed.
latest radio?
that would be why i bet... im running radio version 1.27.14.09
Mic issue.
I'm glad someone starting this tread I was about to. I've been dying to get android because I thought sipdroid was going to be a good voip solution. Tried it on a G1 and realized it isn't. Now I hear about sipagent, and that I hear works. Since it uses the mic at an application level and not the radio level I've been waiting to hear that voice search works cause that implies droid on kaiser is ready for voip development/beta testing.
So can anyone confirm that the mic is fixed, and that the voice search feature is working within some build?
updated the ROM and radio based on the file at the htc website...
WORKS NOW!!!
im so happy. thx. and yes now the speaker works also and plays ringtones. the speakerphone doesnt work, but atleast it doesnt freeze the phone when you click on the button.
pardonmyownage, can you tell me if voice search causes the phone lose its mic?

I have the same issue! Please, anyone can help us?
I can't find a clear solution.. the people says that changed Radio and works, but WHAT Radio?!
Pls help us!!!
Recommended radio is anything from 1.65.xx.xx up to 1.71.xx.xx, although some find 1.65 better, there are others who find 1.71 better, but audio issues are normally associated with radio lower than 1.64.xx.xx.
If you have a lot of 'no service' issues then change to a radio at the other end of the scale, e.g. if you are on 1.71 then try 1.65, if on 1.65 try 1.71.
From what I have seen so far 1.71 works best for US, 1.65 for europe, not enough data on other areas to say for certain about anywhere else tho.
Just remember, if you are on a radio lower than 1.65 you are more likely to have audio, especially mic issues.
thanks Zenith! Now I have the microphone works!
It works with radio 1.65.16.25
Instructions (for original Kaiser with wm6 and radio 1.27.x.x):
1 - Copy JumpSPL1.93-KAIS.exe to internal memory and Run from cellphone
2 - When show "USB" on cell screen, remove the USB cable and plug it again
3 - In the ActiveSync on PC, Disable USB conections on Settings
4 - Run from computer KaiserCustomRUU.exe.. and next, next...
Here, HardSPL 3.29 it's allright!
5 - To install WM 6.1, run from the computer: UU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_3.28.405.0_radio_sign_25.83.40.02_1.65.16.25_Ship.exe with cell connected on USB.
So.. I used Myn's Warm Donut from thread [ANDROID] Myn’s Warm Donut - [RLS 5 - 04/24/2010] and I have a Android Phone!
thanks
My HTC Incredible was working perfectly with my bluetooth car stereo up until about a month or so ago. The weird thing is now it will still pair properly with my car stereo and I am able to play music from my phone through the car stereo but when making or receiving phone calls it will not make any sound through the stereo or speakers.
It will place the call, the other person will be able to pick up and receive the call but they can't hear anything I am saying and I can't hear anything they are saying.
This used to work perfectly before and what's baffling me is I can still play music from my phone with the bluetooth fine without any issues.
I have an AMOLED screen incredible running 2.2 and Unrevoked. I installed Skyraider 3.5 (most current one whatever that is) I have used Metamorph to place my handcent where the + symbol is on the bottom rosie bar, I have also flashed the Berzerker mod for splash of red to make everything red and also provide 6 signal bars instead of 4. I am also running KingKlix BFS#6 kernel. Other than that everything is unchanged.
I have also tried to pair with other car stereo's with the same outcome. What did I do and how can I get this to work again? Is there a bluetooth folder on the system files that I can check to see if there is a change in there or something? Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

This is not development related. Might fit better in Q&A.
Have you tried a wipe and reflash of the ROM? Or wipe/flash a different ROM? You likely downloaded/flashed something funky thats messing with it. Even a VZW rep will tell you thats the first step in troubleshooting any issues. If all else fails, RUU back to stock. If it still isn't working properly, you have something wrong with your device and it needs to be sent back for warranty.
Furthermore, I would recommend not making any manual edits to /system. Although you're not likely to brick your device doing so, you're going to cause yourself more trouble and likely break other things in an attempt to fix bluetooth.
I will try to go back to stock & then keep adding things until it no longer works. Hopefully once I go back to stock it works again.
You might try Bluetooth Fix Repair from Market. Delete the pairing from the car bluetooth first then run the Bluetooth Fix Repair on the Incredible then re-pair. This has helped me when phone would not connect before and hopefully will help you.
Doc
I completely unrooted my phone and went back to OEM. Tried to connect the phone to the bluetooth with the same outcome.
It is definitely a hardware issue with the phone and not any software issue.
I contacted Verizon they sent me a new one over night and just finished rooting it and running my last nandroid to it. I am back where I began with everything loaded back up properly the way it was. This one also works perfectly with Bluetooth!
Glad you got it resolved.

Did it work before flashing the ROM you have now? If so, did you flash a different kernel? Does restoring a backup resume the functionality?

I have been using skyraider for quite some time now. I also was flashing kernels for a while. I guess I am going to have revert back to stock & see if it works then. If it works then I will try flashing skyraider & see if it works after that, then a kernel & so forth & keep checking after each change to see if it works. I guess if I go back to stock & it works I will know one way or another. Thanks for the reply!
You bet. Virtuous is the most stock ROM available, very stable.

Hi everyone,
The bluetooth on my GSIII has been a complete failure. You can follow the saga here (http://www.benzworld.org/forums/w245-b-class/1662643-2009-w245-samsung-galaxy-s-iii.html), but basically it connects to my car and has no sound with the stock ROM and refuses to connect to the car at all with the AOKP JB build. It suggests an android problem, so I'm wondering if the bluetooth stack can be reloaded to reflashed with something different. If anyone has any ideas, I'm all ears. Thank you!
I have a problem with one of my Bluetooth devices dropping and reconnecting. Not sure why is just one. It works fine on an iPhone. I'm guessing your GS3 isn't the international version?

I'm having a different issue. it connects and stays connected, plays music but it doesn't list the song/artist info on my eclipse screen but the SG2 will..
Update: no change with the new kernel. The phones pairs but there's no sound, just as was the case before.

Try CM9. Bluetooth works much better with it. CM10 should have it fixed as well in a day or two.
Here's a 'six months later' update. My phone went through various android updates and I'm now on Android 4.1.1 (up from 4.0.4). The problem was still not solved, but instead of no audio, I now have one way audio, where people hear me but I don't hear them through bluetooth. I have also gone through a number of custom ROMs and kernels for my phone (including CM9/10 and AOKP) and nothing helped with the issue.
A couple of days ago, my girlfriend's HTC One X (finally!) got its Android update, also from 4.0.4 to 4.1.1. Her phone now works like a charm with the in-car bluetooth.
The solution I ended up with was a car cradle and a couple of NFC tags to control my phone in the car. My NFC tag that's stuck to my car cradle turns off WiFi, starts car mode, starts a car home app and turns my volume to max. All I have to do after that is connect the 3.5mm audio cable and I use my phone in place of the car's infotainment system. That way the phone integrates into the car as well and the only thing I lose are the steering wheel controls (they still work for volume).
My less technologically inclined girlfriend now has everything work auto-magicallly with bluetooth. So I guess all's well that ends well, but to anyone considering a US-spec Galaxy S III, watch out: the bluetooth issue is still not fixed. If bluetooth is critical, consider the HTC One X (but be warned: it has awful battery life!)
I have no issues with stereo Bluetooth and mono Bluetooth. Everything and everyone hears and plays fine. It might be an issue with your headset.

Colby. What version of android, kernel / rom combo are you using?? There's SOOO many people having problems with JB and bluetooth, regardless of rom or kernel setup.
If you're on stock... just nm then.

What's wrong with stock? I have no major issues with streaming BT from my phone to my Mazda 3 head unit, or to my Sony MW600 earphones. Even track titles work (the only thing that doesn't work is time display). In my experience, Bluetooth works best on the stock ROM.
Stock Rogers ROM (DLK4 - JB 4.1.1), rooted
KT747 (1/9/2013) kernel
CWM Recovery 6.0.2.3
PlayerPro Music Player
On my old Xperia X10, I had CM7 and had no end of issues with BT:
- Sometimes it would connect and there would be no sound
- Sometimes it wouldn't connect at all
- Sometimes it would cut out after switching songs
- It would stutter a lot whenever Wi-Fi was enabled (but I think that was a problem with the Xperia).
When I tried CM10.0 on my S3 I had similar connection issues, just not as bad. Also, the volume gain over BT was much lower, so I had to turn the car speakers way up. Stock 4.1.1 doesn't have any of these problems. The only problem I had was the audio switching over to speaker after turning off the car, but I fixed it.
Also, BT is apparently broken in 4.2.1 in general, not just CM10.1. Google confirmed a BT patch that works on the Nexus 7, due for release with 4.2.2: http://www.expertreviews.co.uk/smar...confirms-android-4-2-bluetooth-streaming-flaw
TIP: Don't forget to turn up the volume on your phone. I don't know how many times I accidentally turned down the volume and thought that it wasn't working. Now I have Tasker do it for me whenever I connect. :good:
4.1.2 has Bluetooth working use it everyday. (Stock and ROM.) Can't tell u which combo I use at a time. I flash a different ROM everyday. As 4.2.1bluetooth is broken expect for task's AOKP. He has it workingish.
Now as connecting to a car. Depends on what it connects as. And I've learned going to and from ROMs when u connect a source hit the volume up 9/10 times it works

Had Wicked V3 installed and then upgraded to V5. Both ROMs exhibit the same Bluetooth issue - when it connects to my car amp or my headset, it's like it has answered a call.
I see a counter on my car's amp display and can't switch modes on it until I go to the phone and originate a call then hang up. After that, all works fine.
I thought it was a problem with the phone since I installed Wicked only a couple of days after I got it. Using the cool installer with V5, I tried a couple of different kernels (Faux and Trinity), but both seemed to act the same way.
To confirm it's an issue with software instead of hardware, I restored the stock ROM and it connected and worked normally.
I really like Wicked! But this glitch with the Bluetooth may be a deal breaker for me. Is there something I can do to make this work properly?
Thanks!

After all my testing with stock, restored back to Wicked V5 but forgot to wipe anything. Tried to connect to car amp but no luck. After struggling with it a bit, finally got it to pair/connect.
For some reason, now it's working as it should! Beats me why, but I'll take it!
Don't know if this will help anyone else, but this is my experience!
Good Luck!
