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.
I have the Samsung Car dock, and I have my phone paired to my stereo (Sony DSX-S300BTX [aka. alphabet soup]) with an external mic which I have mounted up by my visor. I can use vlingo once every time I'm in the car, and after that it goes haywire trying to listen all the time. Is there a way to turn down the sensitivity from the phone, or do I have to do it in the stereo somehow? I have a relatively loud car (Mustang GT) but the exhaust is stock, so I don't think it's that loud. I just want to be able to use the voice recognition reliably.
When you trigger the speech recognition, make sure you leave about half a second of silence before you actually speak. I think it uses that "silence" part to actually build a baseline. That helped quite a bit for me.
Under the Voice talk Settings, Motion, turn off Motion Activation. Most vehicles shake and vibrate too much for that to work right anyway.
Did any of these work? I have the car holder (no bluetooth or audio in/out) and I want to use the phone as my navigation with voice commands. Problem is, unless the car is at a complete standstill, voice talk will hear "Hello Galaxy" but then it won't hear anything after that. The red bars in the microphone icon are going off the charts indicating its picking up too much background noise. I usually use it in a rental car and I've tried all kinds of cars, all of them fairly quiet sedans. I've also tried it in my friend's Mercedes and same problem. Is there a work around? I've never had the motion control turned on. Thanks.
So I've been having some problems in general with bluetooth performance. A couple of days ago I was trying to sync a wireless bluetooth speaker with my 5X and the 5X couldn't even find the speaker when the speaker was in pairing mode. My tablet and HTC ONE do not have problems finding the speaker. I finally got it pair after multiple attempts. I then launched Amazon music and tried to adjust the volume after audio was playing. I clicked the volume down button all the way to zero and the speaker was still quite loud. Clicking the volume up button didn't really do anything. The audio gets slightly louder, but it's not very discernible unless you're comparing the audio at 10% versus 60-70%. Anyone else having similar problems?

They changed the way volume adjustments work with Bluetooth devices.

For me, I noticed that I just need to control the volume on the device and not try to mess with it on the phone.

Thanks. It looks like this may indeed be a bug though, whether it's with the accessories or Android OS.
, there seems to be a bug in the feature's implementation on some Bluetooth accessories. What users are experiencing is an extremely loud volume, even at the lowest volume setting. With the slider moved all the way down, the volume remains too high, which makes the accessory unusable if you enjoy a more temperate sound. And remember, this is a unified volume setting, so even if you press the headset's Vol- button, nothing changes

When I paired with my speaker the music turned on so loud I nearly crapped my pants. Didn't even realize it was possible for the speaker to go that loud.

Not me. Everything working as designed. BT speaker paired just fine.
I'm having bluetooth issues - from day one and 6.01 doesn't help. My 5x often doesn't play through previously paired devices. It goes through the motions and shows a connection but no sound. I usually have to switch bluetooth off then back on again. Really annoying.
Hmmm, I haven't had a problem with the situation you described. I am currently having an issue over what audio is being pushed over bluetooth. In my car I am listening to some music via bluetooth, and I get a phone call during playback, I swipe right and answer the call, but I answered the call and my music resumes and I can't hear my call. Very odd but a consistent issue since the 6.0.1 update.
Since I accepted OREO onmy Nexus 5x, I also have BT issues both with my car multi-media and my earphones. I tried reboot the nexus and it did not help. I"ll try to repair the device.
Has anyone noticed something similar with their LG G4?
When playing music, or podcasts, using different apps (eg CloudPlayer, GMusic, Pocketcasts) via bluetooth in our newest car (Honda Civic '14) I get a noticeable scratchy electric noise now and again - sounds a bit like an old jack cable that needs some cleaning.
Weirdly though, when I use the G4 in our other car (another Civic but this time a '10) which I don't have bluetooth set up for - but rather use the headphone jack and AUX on the car. This also has some weird noise issues on the left channel too. Not like the sound on the other car - but this is amore obvious distortion/static/crap. It's not a continual noise like an out of tune TV (like you'd get in the old days), but it's a frequent intermittent noise.
Do you think this is due to the G4 - or what?
It seems weird to me that in the two cars there are similar audio issues, via different input sources.
Coincidence?
I haven't tested either car with other devices yet - but before I do, I just wondered if someone on here had experienced similar.

Had the issue on g3 my fix was when i use music i had to turn off all other sounds even screen toich sounds
"i had to turn off all other sounds even screen toich sounds "
I don't understand. I don't have any other audio on as far as I know when the bluetooth is on.
Are you saying that the phone needs to be set to silent, in order for bluetooth streamed audio not to be affected?
The thing I find weird is that it's only the left channel which has issues - right channel seems perfect.
And this is both for when using bluetooth, or minijack cable.
Why should only one channel be affected?
I've got same issue with sound via bt in my car with a parrot receiver. Scratches for a few secs after connection, then it stops. But continuous scratchy sound when using gmaps or waze
So disappointed. I thought I'd lucked out. No display issues or anything. However, just this evening I went to make a call and couldn't hear the caller via the earpiece. Doesn't matter incoming or outgoing, speakerphone works fine, but no sound from earpiece. Worse yet, the sound for videos or music plays fine out the earpiece so it isn't blown.
I am thinking of cutting my losses quick and exchanging it for a Note 8.
Known issue and there is probably nothing wrong with your phone.
Go to the phone app - Settings - Accessibility - turn off the hearing aid toggle. You will then have sound through the earpiece.

Thank you. This worked. I know I didn't activate that feature, so I was unprepared for sure. Weird stuff.

Are you sure you're looking in settings for the phone app? It's not in general settings.
I still have the problem, and the hearing aid toggle is off. I hear through speakerphone, but nothing through the earpiece.
I'm having this issue too, except I get no audio from the earpiece or speakerphone on incoming calls only. I've tried changing settings in the phone app settings with no luck.
5 Google pixel 2 xl's later
I've been sent 5 pixel 2 xl's so far due to loss of sound from earpiece. Last 2 I didn't download apps and had sound for over a month on the 1st of those 2 then out of the blue no sound. I've tracked every app, only downloaded 3, connected to all blue tooths, 3, and had sound for a month. Then dead. I have the same apps and same phone as my partner. He's had zero problems. There's no hearing aid toggle on the pixel 2 xl SSO that's not it. Can't imagine 5 bad phones were saved just for me with the same problem. Any ideas. I'm having to switch servers etc just to get a phone with a good camera. I'd like to stay with Google but I have to be able to talk on the almost $1000 phone, lol. Any new phones with camera as good as this?

Well, if a software/settings issue isn't phone it might be similar to what I think my issue is. I have a loose ground connection in my car that I can't find that causes the car speakers to wine while driving. I play music and calls through the audio headphone jack in the car. Yesterday there was a blip in the car's electronics while listening to music and my music stopped. Now, today, my phone still rings but earpiece doesn't work and neither does playing music in car, on speaker phone., or through headphones but Bluetooth still works. SO if you did like me and hooked up your phone to something sketchy via headphone jack, we my have blown an audio driver.

So on the Pixel 2 XL I had the same problem. First day and it was great until it upgraded to 8.1. Then I had no sound through earpiece on calls. If you open the phone app and go to the three dots in the top right corner there is a list of options. Settings is the third option down. Tap settings and you get a new set of options. Accessibility is the seventh option down. Tap accessibility an there are only two options. The second one is Hearing Aids.
