I came upon a dealbreaker issue with bluetooth. I haven't used bluetooth since long before i rooted my desire and have had this issue since last week when i started using bluetooth again.
My headsets are two Sony Ericsson MW600 and the issue is with cm7.2 based ROMs.
I have tried with Mildwild 5.0 and Cronmod 1.05.
The issue consists of sound not being transferred to and from headset at incoming call. Ringtone plays when call comes in and phone button works on headset. Otherwise media plays satisfyingly but not flawless.
A forum search revealed one previous post with same phone, same issue, cm7.2 base and different headset. No answers to that thread, though.
I'd like to collect some experiences on the matter, to present devs with.
Thanks
Problem solved. Bt in conflict with call recording app. Changed to skvalex's call recording app and all good.
I have a similar issue with MIUI rom. how can i change / disable the recording application?
Try uninstalling or freezing it. Then make a call.
As far as i can see, there is no way to remove the recording option.
The recording is disabled (not recording) by default, and i never enabled it.
I did all my checks on clean install.
Try to find a suspicious service and stop it. Any weird thing might be what's interfering with your bt. Try altering every setting that has anything to do with calls. T n' E
I was unable to find some service responsible.
Buy chance, a friend of mine came with the same phone and asked me to root in and install the same rom i have.
in his case the headset worked with original rom and with the rom i use.
the only difference i noticed was different Radio version.
His is 5.10.05.30
and mine is 5.17.05.23
I also think that his device use OLED display and mine SLCD
So, of course you secretly switched phones with him?
Unfortunately no. So the problem is still there.

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 experienced the same. Definitely voice search caused this problem. After re-installation, it's going well.
Too bad I had to drop Android because the microphone issue. I can listen to the people on the phone, but they can't hear what I say. . I have tried 1.70.xx, 1.71.xx, 1.65.24.36 radios, but none of them works. Anybody help me plz , I'm dying for Android (

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
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 .

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.
Hello folks
I have tested these roms Leedroid 3.1.1 and Revolution hd 5.1.8
Sound lag when listening to music(Bluetooth Headset) Can anyone fix this problem.
Can you describe the lag better? What kind of headset?
I have this problem too...i have SE MW600 bluetooth headset....problem is signal noise in hight frequenties.with wired headset is no lag.i have this problem only with sense's ROM. cyanogen mod is without this problem.

Hi,
I don't know if my problem is the same.... perhaps due to language.
My problem is that every 3-4 minutes listening to music, sound pauses for 1-2 seconds, and then it resumes music for 3-4 minutes to next pause and so on...
I have the problem with a Cardo / Schuberth SRC System bluetooth handsfree.
I tried several Sense ROMs and I found always this problem, but with CM7 it works correctly.
I tried to compile the kernel by using CM7 bluetooth options, but no succeed.
I tried by compiling the kernel by overwritting all bluetooth source code related (using CM7 kernel code). I get an error, and once solved by merging code, the problem is still there.
I tried by overwritting all bluetooth related libraries, but the ROM is not starting.
If anyone has any idea on how follow...
THANKS!
This is a known issue with Gingerbread. I actually am surprised there's not more chatter in the XDA DHD forums about it. Google updated the Bluetooth stack in Gingerbread, which breaks compatibility with many Bluetooth audio devices, like headsets and car stereos. While some people claim that updating the Bluetooth stack on your headset/stereo should fix the problem, it's not always possible. In fact, it's rarely possible, as most of the manufacturers aren't going to bother with firmware upgrades for those of us with Gingerbread devices yet.
I haven't tried CM7 myself, as I'd much rather keep Sense, but I think Jorgitosms's on the right track. Not being much of a developer, I'm not at all sure how to go about doing this, but what about pulling the Bluetooth stack out of a Froyo Sense ROM and putting it into a Gingerbread one? I love everything about Gingerbread, except the broken A2DP audio, so I've gone back to Froyo. If we could get this done, I think a lot of people would be relieved.

I initially thought it was my bt headphones (nokia 905i) creating this skipping but today i exhumed my old htc hd and the music played skip free via bluetooth.
@craig0r, Ive had this skipping on Froyo as well so Im not sure, maybe I have a dud Desire HD. Mind you Im still on stock gingerbread rom. downgrading and rooting seems just too complicated, not too mention which rom to choose!
Hi everyone, I'm hoping someone has a suggestion for me wrt to audio problems with my wife's Sprint Galaxy S3.
On a fully stock up to date S3, about 3 days ago all sound stopped working, this includes alarms, answer calls, key press sounds, playing music. However after a reboot, it would start working again for 6 hours or so, and then quit again. I assumed this was a software issue of some sort. I have an older rooted phone which I love and have had for years, I suggested that we finally root her S3, so she could get all those benefits plus fix whatever little software problem this was.
The rooting process when fine, and the phone now has CWM and CM 10.1.2 (Android 4.2.2). However the audio issue is still there and in fact a reboot no longer fixes the issue.
I have tried pluggin in the ear buds w/ built in mic, and those too fail to work. I also have paired various bluetooh devices like mini boom boxes etc.. they all pair fine however there is no audio output from them. No audio in the dial pad when hitting the numbers. When trying to play music the DSP Manager will crash, and then the music app crashes (tried Apollo and Google music). If I go to the sound recorder and hit record, it pops up with "Internal application error.".
So it seems all audio (speaker, mic, bluetooth, and headset) is broken which again makes me think software, but even after rooting and installing a new rom like Cyanogenmod the issue is here.
Any thoughts on what else I can try? Any firmware updates that I could apply specific to audio issues like this, or perhaps it is some sort of hardware issue that is preventing the software drivers from behaving properly?
thanks,
fishtek
I would Odin back to complete stock and see if the issue still arises. If it does then it could be hardware related.
Same problem

I have that sane issue and nothing I do seems to work.
Hello All,
I have had a strange problem with bluetooth calling on my phone that has popped up in the last few weeks. If I attempt to make or receive a call using any sort of bluetooth headset, or the hands free radio in my car, I am unable to hear the other person, but they can hear me. This issue only is related to calls. I can use my phone for streaming bluetooth music, to both my car and various speakers. Another thing about this that is strange is that I can listen to music with my Jaybird Bluebuds X, but if it were a call I would not hear anything. I have tried using another phone with my car's hands free system, and that phone works correctly. This is what leads me to believe that this is a phone issue.
About my phone. I have the Verizon Note 4, and have been running Jasmine ROM v6 since late May or early June maybe. My phone has worked fine until sometime in the beginning of August. Last night I decided to update my phone to Jasmine ROM v7, thinking that this is somehow a software issue (I had already tried wiping cache, deleting bluetooth devices etc.). I was able to update, but the issue is still there. I am now lost.
Has anyone experienced this before? This seems strange to me, that music works correctly, but call audio does not. I assume that the bluetooth hardware is working correctly, or else nothing would work and that the issue is somehow related to the software bluetooth profiles. Any ideas?
TL;DR; Bluetooth call audio on my end does not work, but music does. I'm not sure why.
