[Q] Bluetooth Handsfree problem - HTC Wildfire S

I have Samsung HM1000 bluetooth handsfree. When i pair it with Wildfire S (A510e), during incoming call, I only get feeble beeps (which very difficult to hear in noisy as well as even in normal condition). Where as when i pair the handsfree with Nokia handset, I can even get a MP3 ringtone in the earpiece.
What could be the problem ? Any solution ?
HTC customer care asked me to soft reset & try again. But no luck.
Wildfire S has bluetooth 3.0 where as handsfree is bluetooth 2.1 +EDR.
HTC customer care says it should support.

This is not uncommon. Ringtones over bluetooth are not part of the bluetooth specifications, so while a phone may be compatible/supported, this feature is not guaranteed to work (Nokia has the best bluetooth stack on the market).

Thanks Lee,
Is there any way to increase the vol of BEEPS. Right now its very feeble. I think i'll not be able to listen to it in crowded area or in the car if music is on in the car's music system.

If your carkit has a volume setting, that would be the way to increase them. I myself have the same situation, except my beeps are extremely loud, so it scares the hell out of me everytime my phone rings

It's not a car kit. I am using a Handsfree being mounted on the ear. U can see this model on Samsung website. Though there are vol buttons, they didn't help in increasing the beeps volume. They can increase / decrease conversation volume.
Any suggestions ?
Can HTC release a patch to resolve the issue ?

I have been searching for this myself as well; the feature is officially called "in-band ringtone". I can't find anything that's android related though.

If you plan to get a new one, may i suggest a blueant device..ive been using one for over 2 years now and used it on motorola, nokia, samsung, htc and it worked flawless ..
dun wry...am not selling em . i just love my blueant st3

I am talking about hands-free to be fixed on the ear (something like Blueant Q2). ST3 appears to be a speakerphone larger in size. Again, in one of the review, it is mentioned to bluetooth ver 2.0.
In the, mean time i once again contacted HTC customer care.
Now they say it should be ver 3.0....A2DP.....Stereo etc.etc.
I don't understand how there can't be backward compatibility ?
How many Bluetooth 3.0 hands-free devices are available in the Indian market ?
Another test:
HM1000 (same model,Bluetooth 2.1 but another piece)connected with SAMSUNG Galaxy ACE (Bluetooth 2.1). Same results. (Only beeps during incoming call).
Any comments / justification from experts.

Hi! I have the same problem. Only faint beeps emitted by the bluetooth headset during incoming calls. (I tried it using samsung galaxy y and blackberry 8520)
What could be the problem? Please help.

Bluetooth Stereo Headset Problem

Hi all
As this is my first post I just want to say a big thankyou for all the contributers to this site, awesome information and keep up the good work.
I have been running Black Majik on my M3100 for a week or so now and have been really impressed. the only slightly annoying problem I have is with my BT Stereo headset (HTC BH S100) which I have had only a couple of days.
Listening to music and controlling the media player(s) (Audio Manager and WMP) is fine, the problem I get is answering/initiating calls from the headset. After a reboot of the phone, the headset works OK for both music and calls, but after turning the headset off/on, the call handling functions don't work although wireless stereo does - its as though the phone loses the headset profile but not wireless stero. Stopping/Starting the BT stack from comm manger seems to reinstate the headset functions but this is frustrating!
I have searched multiple forums but have not found anything of use yet!!
Does anyone have any ideas
Thanks in advance

same problem
please help us
Up ... Same WM6 version, same problem ... with a Nokia BT Headset, and a Sony Ericsson too ...
Thank you.
guess i have a worse problem then. cant hear my phone ring from my BT HS. not that ive tried to figure it out. i can live without listening to music. but it would be interesting to know how everyone is able to hear their phone ring from their headsets. im thinking its because of my headset. i have a moto hs810. does anybody concur?

I have the same problem and I've tried a P3600 and kaiser and the same problem.
As merlynuk wrote the problem seem that the HD lose a free hand function of it profile and only a reset and sometime a pairng od device solve it.
It's for me important to use this function in car or call a voice command but the MTB button seem not work.
bought this HD because belived it would be perfect with a HTC PDA but it's not really.
Do you have some suggestion ?
Do you believe it's better to sell this HD and to buy another ?
Someone know a HD device thet work perfectly as free hand and function as a call, a start a vocal command etc etc work fine ?
Regards
aladino
got the same problem: bought the HTC BH S100 after my touch cruise cause I thought to have no problem with vocal commands, but it doesn't work. music, player control, phone and pairing are perfect but no vocal dialling..
how can we solve this??

Ringtone only in headset,driving me nuts!

in my tp2 i noticed that when i have a wired or bluethooth headset conected and someone calls me it only rings in the headphones! this made me lose several phone calls.
in other devices i had , i used a reg hack for it to ring in the device speaker and headphone,so i tried in my tp2 but it does not work as the reg hack is related to the microsoft bluethooth stack.
therefore i m asking for help and also if other tp2 users can confirm this issue.
my bt heaset is a jabra bt3030.
thanks
I am having the same problem with my TP2, the headset becomes useless for this reason.
I use a Sennheiser MM-200 headset, bought this headset not to have earphones plugged in ears all time but only when i have incoming call.
Not sure what to tell you about the wired headset, but is your BT using the normal headset BT profile or is it connecting also with A2DP/Stero BT? That could be part of the problem.
In the Bluetooth menu it is connected with: "Stereo Audio" and "Hands-free"
you can switch off the stereo audio function and stay with the hans-free function only. it works fine, but you have to do it manually.

I made a soft reset and now the phone rings even with stereo audio enabled - whats good for me, but i do not understand why
Hi Faria,
There is a setting in the BT config to transfer "ALL" system sounds to the connected audio device, this may be your issue. I don't use a wired but my Rhodium rings in the headset and on the device after removing this option.
Cheers,
Beasty
I really hate this feature too. I am used to listening to music on my BT hedset. So when I get home I would just take them off, put the phone on my desk and go about my business. But if I don't disconnect the headset now I won't notice it ringing... which can lose in lost phone calls.
Hopefully someone will find a workaround.
Start>Settings>Connections>Bluetooth
First tab (gears)>Advanced>Audio
"Play system sounds on remote hands-free device" = uncheck
Just tested and works for me.
I get the normal ringtone from the phone and the regular "beep" from the stereo headset.
FYI, this is basically the same information as listed two posts up...
On my old phone if my headset was in and my phone rang it would say call from and state the persons name through my headset. The ringer itself wouldn't play through my headset nor the phone. And now I can't remember but I know it beeps in my ear but I think the phone plays the actual ringer also at the same time. But if I checkmark what you guys are unchecking will the actual ringer play through my plantronics bt headset and not on the phone.. I kind of would like that for if I am out and dont' want my phone to ring all loud I would rather the ringer play in my ear and was wondering if that's what happens when I check that. Mine was unchecked when I got the phone.. I don't havea bt headset I use for music just talking mostly when driving..

Bluetooth Headphones Weird Connection Issue

I have not seen this before, and currently only happens with my Tilt 2 (Stock WM 6.5 ROM). My old Cingular 8525 and AT&T Fuze (Stock AT&T ROM) continues to work just fine.
What happens is I activate bluetooth on my Tilt 2, pair up my Jaybird Gear headset (JB-200) and activate it for "Hand free" and "Stereo Audio". Everything is connected and looks good. Now as soon as I turn on any audio player (e.g. Pocket Player, Core Player or Media Player) the "Stereo Audio" connection immediately drops away and the sound comes through my phone speaker. The "Hands free" portion remains active and works just fine for calls. I've tried multiple ways to get the Stereo portion to to stay connected, with or without AVRCP control, and nothing seems to work.
I tried searching here on XDA and Googling this problem but either my particular combination of headset and phone is not being used anywhere else or it's just me.
Any ideas? The only thing I haven't done is a hard boot. I may just go to a AT&T store and try another phone just to see if it works there or not.
Update: Looks like the same thing happens even on the display models over at the AT&T Store. I guess that means it's not my phone per sey. I guess other possible option is that these particular headphones are not compatible with WM 6.5. or there's a glitch in this particular bluetooth stack. Can the WM 6.1 stack be used in WM 6.5?
Update
After talking with Jaybird Gear it appears that they have also become aware of this bluetooth issue.
Jaybird Support:
"Thank you for contacting Jaybird online support. Yes, Their is a compatibility issue we recently became aware of with the At&t Tilt. There is no way for the present time to fix the problem. We are working on it with AT&T to try and find out what the problem is and why that specific upgraded model has this problem.......It is a software problem with the Tilt so most likely they will be able to correct the problem with the next upgrade that AT&T releases"
This could mean a long wait if we're expecting AT&T to fix this problem.
I don't know if this applies to only Jaybird Gear headsets or not.
I post this here because if there's any community out there who could figure this out it is XDA.
Seems like other folks might be having some problems as well.

Sprint Touch Pro2 has stereo bluetooth wierdness too.
The Bluetooth settings show the Motorola HT820 as Stereo Audio and Hands-free in green, and the stereo audio from Coreplayer plays through as high quality, but I can't use the buttons on the phone to move to the next track, stop, or start the audio. Instead it starts the audio on the Sprint Music Player and doesn't affect Coreplayer. That's not how it worked on my Sprint Touch.
I have the same issue on my VZW TP2 with my Plantronics Voyager 855. Didn't happen on 6.1, but it happens on 6.5. Soft reset usually gets the audio flowing over the AD2P again, although I once had to do a hard reset to get it back. That was a drag. Between this and the limited AVRCP support, and the poor car integration performance on the TP2, I'd say the BT stack on this device needs some real work!
I just want to add in that I'm also searching out a solution to the same type of problem. My combination is is AT&T Tilt 2 using a Jabra Dog Tag (BT3030) headset. I had no problems with my old Tilt 1, but now the sound remains perfect but the control buttons on the headset are funky. The track buttons bring up my today screen, the play/pause does nothing but scan through all songs if held down, and everything gives me the "bluetooth volume control not supported" message...
Lots of strange bluetooth issues with this phone. My Blueparrott b250 headset will attach just fine but then the volume is WAAY too loud. If I press the volume down on either the phone or the headset it goes to almost silent. Press down again it's slightly louder but still quiet. Down again and loud but on the quiet side of where I like it. Down again and it's silent. Strange. Also, there's no separation of phone volume and headset volume. If I get it close to what I want then the phone it too quiet. I'm just hoping one of the geniuses around here solves this soon.

Handsfree Call with Headphone Out

Hi All.
One feature I loved with Cyanogenmod on my SGS2 and HTC Desire was the ability to make a hands-free call while using the headphone out socket to listen to music.
When a call came in the sound would be routed out the headphone socket to my headphones/car stereo and the internal microphone would switch to hands-free mode and pick up what I was saying.
With the Nexus however I can hear the other person fine but they cannot hear me at all.
Is this working for anyone? If not I hope the devs build this function into their custom ROMs.
Simple solution: just get something like this.
http://www.amazon.com/Headset-Adapter-Microphone-iTouch-generation/dp/B0034Z5GY8/ref=pd_sim_e_4
I guess that is a solution but it's annoying when every other Android phone I've used doesn't even require one and uses the internal speaker.

[Q] Lumia 900 - Headset jack and bluetooth problem

I am befuddled.
I got a refurbed L900 from ATT and it seems I must have inherited the previous owners problem.
When I plug in the headset with mic ( I am using an HTC set which has worked before in the previous L900 and my other Lumia 920), I get loud hissing/static sound upon connection. The caller can hear every fourth word or so. Music plays fine through it.
Secondly, when I connect a bluetooth device, a Jawbone or blue ant car unit and a call comes in, the phone shows bluetooth connected, but there is no audio i.e. cannot hear the caller nor can the caller hear me, through either one of the devices (I only connect one device at a time). I have to select speaker and then I can hear the caller. However, the bluetooth units can stream audio like music and driving directions. Again, the bluetooth units work with the Lumia 920 and iPhone 5.
OS version 7.10.8862.144
Any help appreciated.
Best regards,
Befuddled.
