After reading the searched posts for hours, I thought I'd post and ask for an update.
Is anyone able to use their bluetooth headset to answer skype calls on their tablet by pushing the button on the headset?
If so, can you please state which headset you're using?
thanks
Messing around with a Voyager Pro+ BT headset, the earpiece transmits sound from skype and my music, but as for microphone, skype still tries to use the tablet mic instead of the headset mic. BTmono seems to solve that problem, but it's still not possible to answer calls with the call button on the headset. When I push it, it hangs up on an incoming call and tries to dial my google voice number and asks me which program I want to use, giving me the option of Skype and data calling. If I choose data, it says "not supported". Anyone know of an app that will let me change the headset button configuration to answer an incoming skype call, instead of the current function, which is to dial my google voice number, for whatever reason?
I have the same problem. Skype works great with BT headsets in Windows but the Android version does not even seem to have an options menu where one can select the sound input and output. Skype still works fine using the Tab microphone and speakers but if you want to have a more private conversation, you will have to plug in a wired headset.
I find it hard to believe that Skype would overlook this feature in Android so maybe there is another reason that BT is not supported.

skype works with my bluetooth headset and galaxy tab - likely your headset needs to conform to some spec (v2.1)

That may be it. The headset is a Samsung model WEP490. Any idea how I find out if this unit is compatible?

Which bt headset are you using, animatechnica?
And you're able to answer calls with the headset button?

You've already been asked twice. Please answer. Which specification do you mean?
Hello everyone,
I paired my LG Tone HBS-700 with the Nexus 7. Audio works flawlessly but when it comes to microphone ...
When making a call in Skype or Viber I can't get the mic on the bluetooth headset to work. I can only hear audio. The mic on the tablet works fine but hey I bought a bluetooth headset to get away from the tablet and relax on the bed.
Any solutions?
I think this is known. Corded headset with mic doesn't work either.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
I've griped on end over this and searched so I'll save you some time. It seems no app except for grooveip works with bluetooth recording. I haven't tried grooveip myself but others say it definitely works. If it wasn't for grooveip, I would suspect the proper audio profile isn't there in the nexus 7. I wish a dev could confirm this. I wouldn't have thought bluetooth mics would be a big thing. In my ignorance I assumed it would become your 'sound device' when paired and any app that attempted to record/capture audio would be re-routed to the bluetooth device. If it is a matter of apps being properly coded, maybe we'll have I dunno, 4 or 5 apps that work properly with bluetooth in a couple of years.
Yeah I'm being a little cynical but I was surprised how poor bluetooth support is when it doesn't seem to be the case on the bb/ipad side. The other disappointment with bluetooth is audio sync with gaming. So travelling and I feel like gaming I have to switch to a wired headset. I read it's an issue with bluetooth itself, but confirmed with a couple of friends the sync issue doesn't happen on playback or ipad.
Just to add it's not just gaming. Basically you'll only have audio sync with movies that are hardware decoded (e.g. when using google's movie player or youtube app), but try and play an xvid etc. So I think you'll find audio playback isn't flawless either.
I like to record business calls so I can go back and review. I tried this app on my Note7 and was happy that it worked both with my hard wired headset and my Bluetooth headset (Mpow Wolverine). To get the recording to work with the Bluetooth headset, I had to change the Bluetooth Audio Source settings to MIC. After changing that, it worked for both headsets. I'll be purchasing the pro version of this app!
Whats the name of the app?

Call Recorder - ACR

Hello.
I am on latest AEX 6.7, I have bought a pair of bluetooth 5.0 headphones, and the audio on call is really bad (they hear me far away). I'm pretty sure it's the ROM's fault (the headphones are of excellent quality).
Is bluetooth bad on any AOSP ROMs? Do you have any suggestions?

Is this module for record phone calls? The recording of phone calls is already integrated in the AEX, and that isn't the problem.. the problem is the poor quality of the microphone of the bluetooth earphones in phone calls.

You didn't understand the meaning of my post.
Phone microphone is ok, both in voice call (also recorded), and VoIP.
The problem is when I connect a bluetooth headset, so the default microphone becomes the bluetooth headset, so when I make a phone call (normal or VoIP) my voice feels very low and far, and my caller struggles to hear me.
So, I asked, since I'm sure the bluetooth headsets are of excellent quality, if I could do something to improve the bluetooth of the zuk in the calls, because I read around that the problem could be of the AOSP roms, but I don't want to go back to a rom stock only for bluetooth (and I'm not even sure it would improve).
(If even now you have not understood the meaning of my question, you are a troll)

Is the recording OK when not using BT headset keeping recording format same.
Just to let you know.. There are other users who have faced problem of similar kind whose issues have resolved by changing audio recording format to aac.. I also use Bluetooth headset seinhizer HD 4.40 BT.. I have no such issues coz I always use the module and no such issues for me.. That's why I suggested..
I don't troll.
Skavalex has option to select recording source as internal and not mic which could have solved your problem.

Ok, i will try. Thanks ?
Tws earphones are often limited in this, the mic is actually far away from your mouth so you might get low input from them, the fault isnt your phone, its just that even the pricier tws earphones suffer the same problem. Its just physics, when you speak, the sound goes forward but the mic of the tws is near your ear so the sound gain is very low. Try using the same tws on other phone amd see if the problem persists

Yes.. I solved it by changing the smartphone Unfortunately, by switching to ROM AOSP there is a worsening of many things, which come out in daily use, for example, the audio in VoIP video calls (whatsapp, Instagram, etc.) is poor .. they hear me very far away or with disturbances .
