Bluetooth mic not working

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.

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.

[Q] Earphone problem with ringtone/notification

My earphone and the official note 2 earphones both work when it comes to media such as music and videos/movies and including taking calls but however when I receive a notification sound and ringtone song/sound while my earphone is plugged in, the sounds come from my note 2 instead of the earphones.
Anyone else having this problem? and any solutions?

Bluetooth Headset Mic issue fixed in Note N51xx BT 4.0 LE Implementation?

Just a basic simple question. I am sure most here are familiar with the issue of the mic in a BT headset not working post Gingerbread or at least since Android 4.x.
For those who don't know it's simple the onboard mic does not turn off allowing the mic in the headset to work. So while a stereo headset will give you sound if you want to dictate or use apps that need voice input your tablet has to be in front of you. It's a deflating problem because we buy these devices to enjoy, be more productive and more mobile. The blame seems to lay at the feet of Google (ya just need to slog through all the discussions about this as there are cases where it works perfectly, mostly, on phones but not at all on non-phone tablets.
Anyway, while I sit here trying to be patient and thanking my boss for buying an N5110 for me, I thought I'd ask some questions. My hope is perhaps something about the stack implementation for BT 4.0 LE was fixed to allow out headset mics to work on our tablets again.
My headsets are the LG BHS700 and BHS730. Super headsets BTW with loooong battery life. Around 10-14hrs continuous use on my tabs or phone.
For me the mic works fine with my LG Motion phone (snapdragon CPU, ICS 4.0.4, BT 3.0). Does not work on my Asus Transformer TF300T nor my Transformer Infinity TF700T. I am pretty sure the reports I've read on the Kindle Fires with BT is the mic doesn't work with them either, though that may have changed?
Sooo, anyone tested this out on your Note 8? Even worth asking those with the N5100 (GSM version yes?) or N5120(LTE version right) as there were comments of the mic only working with active phone calls and none of the other uses such as dictation or voice command.

I would bet your problem is that you are trying to use "listening" type stereo BT headsets, to perform "speaking" functions; those LG BT stereo headsets are ok for music, but suck when it comes to making phone calls, or audio dictation...They just dont have high quality/high performance microphones on them, since they are used primarily for listening to music..
I use a Bose BT2, and a BlueAnt BT headset with all my adroid devices, INCLUDING this one, without any voice or dictation issues.
You should get a mono, voice/phone call type BT headset, and I am certain you wont have any issues making phone calls, or dictating with this tablet...
thanks but you could not be more incorrect here. In fact the issue is not related to brand of headset. It is a well known and documented issue that came about post Gingerbread. And it seems mostly limited to NON-PHONE device though even some phones have issues it voice control and functioning of previously working voice related apps. That and the cessation of a previously working headset mic with the roll out of various versions of 4.x.x
So thanks but well, nope that does not address the question or issue. Though it's nice to know your headsets work on your N8. That is helpful.

My Galaxy S3 cannot be used with voice dictation, search, S-Voice, etc with the built in mic, especially when in the car (4.0 - 4.1). Using a Bluetooth headset it _actually_ works in both scenarios (quiet room, in car).
Although when combined with TeamSpeak it has a tendency to "Forget" it's hooked up to a headset and instead use the onboard mic and speakers. This normally occurs after a disconnect and reconnect to the TS server. But the new TS app isn't that much less of a piece of **** than the old TS app.
On previous 3.x and 4.x devices, I just did the old test: tap the onboard mic, tap the headset mic. The loud one is the input source.

Interesting new Slidey...make hopeful Samsung fixed whatever Google busted.
I did chuckle that your headset mic works and the on device dunna work. It made me jealous...
Oh, your testing method us that of Champions...meaning same thing I do. Heck it's all but impossible to muffle the on board mic they are so sensitive.
Can't wait to see if my headsets work...have to remain calm until Thursday. Seems I picked the wrong week to give up IV Xanax...

Bluetooth calling with regular noise interruptions

I have a problem with my bluetooth headsets. When I make calls every 10 or 20 seconds I got some annoying noise for maybe 1 or 2 seconds. The person on the other line can also hear this.
I have two different Chinese headsets that shows the problem. With Bluetooth speakers I do not have the same problems, but also short interruptions from time to time.
Currently I am using a Xiaomi Redmi 3 on the latest 14.1 nightly. With my old Samsung GT-i9300 I had the same problem on Lineagos. I can use both headsets without any problems on a iPhone. Some roms on my S3 worked also flawlessly.
Any ideas how this could be solved?

Bluetooth audio quality question

Hello. I change phones alot and have noticed that some phones(all android) have better bluetooth playback than others.
I had a oneplus 7 pro before this phone and the bluetooth quality to my truck was great and had no issues but with this phone the highs sounds scratchy or like if the speaker is bad. But if i connect it with a wire connection it sounds great. Everything with the 2 phones is the same. On both i was using the galaxy watch and pretty much the same apps. On a previous phone the note 8 i had the same issue but it was a different car. Seems like its the way samsung handles bluetooth.
Has anyone had this issue? If so was there a fix?
Thanks

What do you mean?
The only two things I think about is the codec used that may be different across devices, and the Bluetooth settings that sync the phones volume with the headset (the differences are noticeable).
Since no DAC is used in Bluetooth, I don't think it can comes from them, for a same headset.
On Samsung phones you should run the adapt sound process. Try this.
I tried with the sync volume off too and no improvement.
I looked for the adapt sound and my phone doesn't have that setting. Or is it something different?
It's in Sounds and Vibration 》 Advanced Sound settings 》Sound Quality and effects 》 Adapt sound
You have to do this in a quiet place and ensure to answer honestly. If you can't hear the beeping press no.
After doing this the sound quality is night and day difference.
Ok found it. Ill play with it a bit. Thanks
I've had issues sometimes with audio being piped through the "Calls" Bluetooth channel versus the "Audio" channel so worth checking as the quality is obviously night and day.
I also like enabling Dolby Atmos on my Note 10+ for music so worth playing with too. Additionally, I recently found Samsung's Sound Assistant app which let's you customize a bunch of sound settings so worth checking out as well:

Is there an easy way to tell if the audio is going through the call channel?

Easiest is probably just uncheck calls in your phones BT settings for your truck (and make sure audio is enabled). If the sound is still not great then this isn't the issue.
Sorry to respond to an old thread, but I was wondering if any of this fixed the OP's problem. I followed all the recommendations here and on other threads but have not been able to solve my recent Bluetooth audio problem. The sound has been terrible lately.
Same issue here on my s10+. When playing any audio in my car via BT i hear the distortion/hissing noise especially when the song has a higher treble frequency.
I have just about tried all fixes i could find on Google, and no luck.
When connecting to my ear buds (Jabra Elite 65t) it disappears and checked in developer mode that it supports to AAC for BT Codecs.
But when connecting to the car it reverts to SBC.
The issue clearly lies on Samsungs side, as my brother has a Huawei p30 Pro, also has bluetooth 5 and plays amazingly well in all aspects (Bass-Mids-Treble).
I know I'm posting this almost a year later, but i am desperately looking for a fix.
SN. I have recently updated my phone to Android 10, despite all the complaints to Samsung from many users... Sadly this issue has not being fixed on my side.
From what i see online, people have given up on Samsung and opted for Rooting their Samsungs and installing Viper4Andriod.
Has any one done this and can confirm that it fixed the issue?
