Hey folks,
I've been struggling with this issue for months now and couldn't find a solution yet. Had the same problem with my Polaris before.
When using BT Handsfree profile, either with my Jabra 250 headset or with my built in car handsfree (Parrot) I get a more or less big delay after accepting a call until the audio stream is transferred from my phone to the BT device.
Meaning, accepting the call in the car results in like 5 seconds delay until I can actually hear what the person on the other end is saying. Until then the voice is still routed via the phones builtin speaker, as if no BT device would be connected.
Same happens with my Jabra headset, though the delay is less there. Maybe 2-3 seconds sometimes.
I tried playing around with Shaps Advanced Config or HD Tweak Bluetooth settings, but no luck so far :-(
Could anyone who is using BT handsfree devices, especially car kits, tell me if you get your audio on your BT device right away, without delay on your BT device? If yes, please tell me exactly what settings you are using for your BT on the phone, e.g. Bitpool min/max, Audio Gateway on/off, Joint Stereo Yes/No etc.
Please let me know if ya using S2U2 as well, I think this could add up to the problem, though for me I still have the issues when I disable S2U2
thanks,
boba
i am using a Bury comfort BT and it rings 2-3 seconds b e f o r e my phone rings! i did not tweaked any settings in my HD. i am not using s2u2.
I also have a Parrot in car hands-free system. Have to say, whilst there are and have been some 'issues' (from time to time) a long delay when an incoming call is accepted isn't one I get.
I don't have the 2 programs you mentioned, as I'd not heard of them before - so I'm running my HD (as far as BT goes at least) in stock trim - FYI I have the auto-answer selected (in 'Settings>Phone>More') set to talk after 4 rings, as a personal pref.
I do have issues with the BT on these phones - I think it's a WinMo thing though, as it's been the same on all the WinMo phones I've had - the BT is pretty retarded unfortunately and it's the one major gripe I have with it and ultimately 'put up with' (very begrudgingly, as it's a feature I use a lot)
Issues are;
Occasionally the phone will answer instead of the car kit (if it's in my pocket - although I may have solved that by having pocketshield 'slide to answer' on there now)
It will NOT auto-answer at all on my BT stereo headphones NOR [more annoyingly] my Scala-Rider motorcycle helmet kit (where every other 'normal' phone I have had has done so with no issues at all)
Every now and again it will freeze the car-kit by showing that there is an active call, when there isn't - and the only way out of it is a soft reset of the HD itself
I only wish there was a fix/tweak for the BT in WinMo - but it seems that most programmers don't see this as a priority area and as such it's not been resolved - maybe 6.5 will address it...but I'm not holding my breath!
Hello, same problem with my Motorola bt350, with and without s2u2.
Same with stock ROM or with dutty's ROM and other.
Its a known win 6.1 BT stack issue.
Regards

@ boba23
If you find a fix for that issue please tell me!!! its so annoying
T
Same issues here. Anyone find a fix.
thought it was mine in car blue tooth that has this problem...good (or bad?) to know that it's not an isolated incident.
same issue...
I have parrot MK9000 and HTC BH S100 (stereo). The delay is the same. I do not think there is going to be a solution.
Ι have the transfer delay BT issue here too.... the others person voice is going out from the phone for 2-5 sec and suddenly its transferred to BT heasedet.
Preety annoying, it happens to all my ΒΤ headssets (Jabra , Samsung) the dead seconds just varies.
Plz guys anyone who has solved this let me know

Bumping this thread up again, since I am still facing the delay issue. I am pretty sure it's not ROM related, since I had this issue with all 6.1 roms I tried. Right now using Topix 2.7.
Played around with Advanced Config BT settings again, but I still have that incoming call delay with my Jabbra BT250. Mostly takes 3-4 seconds, after accepting an incoming call till I hear sound on my headset. I really can't believe that this is an issue that only a few ppl are facing. I have nothing spectacular installed, even disabled S2U2 to see if that helps, but nothing :-(

I think this has to do with a combination hands-free / rom version. I have a built in car kit and if I accept the call with phone answer I get the voice right away on the car kit. If I accept it on the radio, it will take 2-4 seconds before sound is transferred to car kit.
I've made another test on a parrot car kit, with same ROM version as before, and it behavior was diferent. If I accept the call on the car kit button, the sound is transferred immediately to the car, if I accept the call on phone button, I get instant sound, but on the phone - private mode....
I made also this test with a plantronics headset, and the sound is transferred right away to the headset either I accept the call on the headset or the phone
so
I am using topix 2.9.4 6.1 rom version - but already tested with several 6.1 roms and 6.5 - behavior is more or less the same

Hi Boba, you're not alone I use BT sometimes as a backup.. and I too have an annoying delay of several seconds... at that very moment I think "hey where's the incoming call", I then hear the sound from the normal phone speaker, and when I switch to the normal phone again the sound is passed to BT ....
Bluetooth Incoming Call Delay
Has anyone come across a solution for this yet?
I have always had a 1-2 second delay in being able to hear the caller using my BT250 headset but, after installing the Orange update ROM, the delay seems to have increased to 3-4 seconds. The caller can hear straight away though.
I have just purchased a BT2020 headset and the delay is still 3-4 seconds.
I am not confident in installing different ROMs (because of my limited knowledge) but would install any that will eradicte this really annoying delay. Any suggestions?

There seems to be a very annoying bug on my new XDAII that is running the 1.6O O2 ROM.
If I am on the phone and i receive a call that alerts me that there is a call is waiting, and I decline to answer it, the sound is cut off and I can't hear the caller anymore. Cancelling the current call and re-dialling is the only way of getting 'sound back'.
Furthtermore, another irritating bug is that if the phone rings and I answer after only 1-2 rings, I can't hear anything for a few seconds and have to wait those couple of seconds before i can speak to the other person. This doesn't seem to happen if the call is answered after 3-4 rings.
Any help would be appreciated.
Me too - only answer I found was to turn off call waiting.
Poor solution.
Same for me, i too had to turn off call waiting, however i found that if you are using a bluetooth headset when the second call comes in and you decline to answer it, it just transfers the current call the the phone and you can continue it there
Same problem here.
I find that if you put the call on hold and then resume - the voice will come back.
VERY irritating.
Same for me too, I have T-Mobile 1.60 and using BTHTools 1.1.0.0...
Do you use BTHTools?
yes l am using BT tools.
regards,
hasnain
I performed a hard reset...
Did NOT install BT Tools - and had the same problem.
Mine did this long before using BT tools also.
I also have the same problem....
Is it an incompatibility between the phone and Bt Tools?
Is there any solution other than turning off call waiting?
Does anyone face the 2nd problem that I mentioned:
Sometimes when I pick up the phone after it rings, it takes a couple of seconds before i can hear the caller. This happens more often when picking the phone up within 1 or 2 rings.
This problem was aroung in the I-mate ROM 1.66.
They fixed both with the 1.72 ROM.

i DON'T THINK THIS IS FIXED IN 1.72. i STILL HAVE THESE SAME PROBLEMS TOO, RUNNING t-MOBILE 1.72.
While running 1.60 I replaced the Radio Stack only with the O2 original release version - sorry don't remember version number - and it worked without these two very annoying bugs in the phone. i think it is a problem with the readio stack version only.
After losing the voice with an incoming call I can get the voice back without redialing by placing the call on hold and then resuming.
I have the same problems with or without bluetooth tools and with or without a BT headset.
Now, I have T-Mobile's 1.72 installed and am afraid to reload the working radio stack becasue of the "downgrade disaster" with 1.72. I am anxiously waiting for either a stable 1.72 or XDA Developers to help us out of this mess with this ****ty ROM.
This forum is fantastic. Thanks to everyone.
Steve
I had the problem in the 1.66 ROM, and no longer have it with 1.72!
I've just installed the new O2 1.72 ROM and am still having the same problem.
I am also suffering from a problem I was having on the old ROM. Many times when I receive a call and press the green answer button, it takes between 2-5 seconds for me to hear the person calling. The person calling also hears a similar period of slience before he/she can hear me.
The same thing also happens sometimes when I call out, where only once 2-3 rings into the call or if the other party has already picked up thephone can I hear or say something.
I'm not sure if caller ID or Photo ID has anything to do with it as I have around 1380 contacts on my xda.
This problem is extremely annoying and was wondering if there is anyone out there who has faced the problem and may have an answer for it.
Us too
We have two xda2 with 1.72, and same thing, there is a 5 second delay upon recieving any call, and sometimes there is a hangup duriong call waiting???
I never had that problem until I installed Bluetooth Tools...now it always happens. Though as someone's suggested, holding and resuming seems to do the trick.
I have a Cingular 8125 paired with a Plantronics 320. When I answer an incoming call with my bluetooth headset, the other party hears static while the headset establishes a connection. Once the connection is ready, the static disappears. It only lasts for a second or so, but is highly annoying to the other party. Has anyone else experienced this or have a solution? This also happens with my old Tekkeon BT headset, so I know it is a phone issue. Thanks!
Are you using both ring and vibrate at the same time? Perhaps a custom ringtone?
If so, I have had the same situation. Unfortunately, the only solution at the moment that I know of is to turn off the vibrate, or don't use Bluetooth.
I submitted this to HTC a while back after experiencing it on my 8125, and an 8125 I had to replace it.
EDIT: I've only tested it with two 8125's, and a Samsung WEP150 and Motorola H810 (I think) headsets..
Also, as an experiment, try calling yourself from another phone, and answer with the headset. What you'll likely notice is that the static goes away as soon as the vibrating stops.
sk0t. Thanks for the reply and info. It sucks that we have to disable vibrate. I'll give it a shot and see if I don't blow out my friends' eardrums.
*UPDATE*
That did the trick. Thanks.

Suspected it might. It certainly does suck that we have to disable vibrate when using a BT headset. Drives me nuts actually.
When I went through and discovered this (haven't seen reference to the issue anywhere in my searches), I had tested with something like 3 different headsets and two 8125's.. Was able to duplicate it every time once I figured out what the cause was.. Very very strange..
I just hope that HTC can do something with this issue on these phones..
Wish I had found this thread a couple of weeks ago. I went through 3 Plantronics 510 headsets and two Cingular 8125 before making the discovery that the problem was tied to the vibrate ringer setting.
One thing I've done--since I'd still like the vibrate feature--is you can set the ringer to "vibrate then ring". I just have to make sure I don't pick up while the handset is vibrating--which isn't too hard since that usually is just the first caller's ring.
Another think I found when troubleshooting: if I put my handset in another room and pick up incoming calls everything is fine. Seems like the vibration needs to be in proximity to the headset for this problem to occur.
hmm i just got my bt headset and was told of the static...
thanks for the info guys will deff turn of the vibration to see if that prevents the static when answering a call
I didn't want to open yet another Polaris bluetooth problems but none were like mine.
I have the O2 Orbit 2 and I had bluetooth mute problems which were usually resolved with soft reset, I think that ever since I installed HTC's official bluetooth mute fix the mute problems got worse.
Every couple of calls or when I plug something to the mini usb (ear phone, charging, data, etc') my bluetooth is muted, the connection is established and I think I do hear through it but with extremely low volume (less then a whisper, more like back ground noise) the mute almost never fixes itself, it goes on even if I flash with a different ROM!!, what fixes it is playing with turning on and off the connection to the headset while in call or, while in call pluging and removing the wired headset, once it's back, it usually stays ok until (randomly) when I plug something to the usb, at first I though it will never work again (flashing something like 10 different roms...) but this fix is less then convenient, again, sadly the official fix doesn't help.
Anyone knows the return policy to O2 from Germany? I live at Israel so I think it might be a problem...
Same problem for me.
After the original fix, my bluetooth headset is always mute.
I have ordered a new original HTC M200 headset. I hope it will work............
Original M200 arrived today.
Don't work. Always mute.
I have tried to uninstall the original fix without any resultate.
Did you get yours to work?
You can try the on/off trick, I usually call my voicemail when the mute starts and then goto options and turn handsfree off, then again turn it on, sometimes it works after 4-5 tries sometimes after 2-3 minutes...
Sometimes the voice comes back in slow motion!!, I thought at first that it was garbled, but once I have a voice mail of a woman who talked fast so when the voice came back in slow motion she sounded like a very low voice slow talking man.
no, don't work on any headset......
It's a hardware problem ??
Hey guys...just wondering if you guys found a solution to this problem. I have this problem with my touch pro. The A2DP works, but for some reason handsfree through bluetooth is muted and I can't unmute. Hope you guys found a fix and can help me out.
Hello there,
has anyone an idea how to realize this:
blackstone is in standby - bluetooth is activated - bluetooth headset is on - both connected - call comes in - I take the call with the bt-headset - talk - I end the call with the bt-headset - blackstone remains on until the adjusted time for standby is reached
but I would like the blackstone switch into standby mode immediately after ending the call
is this possible ?

This needs addressed - sleep after a call during headset mode
In headset mode the phone does not go into sleep mode or power off automatically after a call. This is a major issue for those of us who leave the phone in the pocket in the car or when using bluetooth headsets. I have finished calls recently and then 5 or 10 mins later my phone would connect to someone random in the phonebook whilst driving which is quite embarrassing "I didnt call you" - "yes you did"!!
In the meantime I am using constant device lock but this is a clumsy solution for what surely MUST be a common problem. Can anyone else not help us out and try to get the device to sleep after a call during headset mode? I would be so grateful for a useful solution that doesnt involve a constant device lock that I dont really need!
Cheers
I'm having the same problem also....
The list grows - surely there must be others out there with the same problem. We should try and get out heads together to crack this one!

Sounds good man, keep up posted. Its a major issue for me too!
ok folks .. here is the very annoying answer i got from htc support
You recently wrote us about an issue that you have encountered with your HTC Touch HD. There is only one way to instantly set the device into standby mode: please press quickly the power on/off.
what shall i say ... THAT'S CRAP !!!
and i'm still thinking that there must be a workaround ... redefining the buttons or something like that ... any ideas from the specialists in here ?
c'mon guys - help us out here

that's really strange...just tested it.
connection htc/jabra bluetooth.
htc device lock ON.
an incoming call arrives, pick up the call via bt-headset. end the call via bt-headset. phone is immediately locked again (htc own device lock), display is on. after 1 minute also the display turns off.
or do you mean something completely different?
Same here and it feels retarted.
Ooe of the major purposes of a bluetooth headset is to avoid contact with the device. So having to take out the phone or handle it (in a car/office whatever) after a BT call is rediculous.
BT headset drops call
I am not sure if I should pose my questions here but my Jabra BT headset is connected to my Blackstone on standby mode via BT. However, when an incoming call comes, the BT headset does not get the call but is transfered to the HTC handset instead. I have no problems making outgoing calls on the Jabra headset. It's frustrating when I am driving... could anyone tell me how to remedy this?
Thanks in advance.
end call via BT into standby works with LockMeLite
hello there,
with LockMeLite http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=478606 and my samsung wep250 bt-headset
it works
this headset is non-a2dp-capable
dunno if an a2dp capable headset will work, but will test is (next week)

I have tried flashing newer fancy roms and tried various lockers but no applications are intuitive enough to fix this simple fault. When making a call in 'headset mode' the fast sleep mode prevents accidental presses during a call. Unfortunately when the call is ended via handsfree/car kit/recipient, the phone wakes back up to life.
Any locker I have used is active indiscriminantly when pressing the power on button to wake the device from sleep. I have tried lockmelite, hd tweak for inbuilt MS lock, pocketshield and another locker however none have the function to only lock the device whilst in headset mode and after a call has ended. This is a request to developers, expert cooks and modifiers please can anyone help us out?
Thanks a million
Check this, it can do the trick...
h..p://www.pocketshield.net/default.htm
S2u2 V2.04 workes fineas you needs, even look during a call (gives black screen)
I'll do a try
As I have the same request/problem I'll try the following with the help of AGEProfile.
- I create a profile actived when the headphone is connected, when this profile is activated it launches a program named MySuspend so my phone is suspended.
- I create another profile activated when the headphone is connected and there is a call in progress, this profile does nothing but it exists (only)
So when my phone goes connected with the headset (BT) it goes suspended.
When I receive a call it wakeup as normal and the profile is switched to the second one (but does nothing)
When the call finishes, the first profile is activated again and the phone goes suspended.
That's all (and it should work, I just made the setup for that).
Regards,
P.S. sorry for my english because it's not my language.
I also have this same question. After ending the call the screen stays unlocked and will inadvertently call a number sometimes.
I tried
Yes I made a try yesterday evening in real conditions and it work very well
So I'm very happy
I forgot to mention that I also use the Inesoft to have the screen locked when one call come in.
Hope this will be useful for you too

Hello XDA crew,
I have some problems and I hope you can help me with that. Xperia phone is really cool but one thing for me is really annoying. And that is the calling performance of Xperia.
These are the main problems:
1. When I plug in the headset, the ringtone plays both on the headset speakers and the phone speaker. Is there a way to let the ringtone play only on the headset speakers?
2. When I plug in the headset, the microphone of the headset isnt active. Only the microphone of the phone is active. So, people can not understand me when I speak to the headset microphone. But they can hear me when I talk to the microphone of Xperia.
These are some other problems but not so important for me:
3. The volume of the call is too high. Even when I set the volume low, people can hear the person who I am talking with.
4. Microfone of Xperia get active after for about two seconds when I answer the phone. So, I have to wait for about 2 seconds to say 'hi'.
5. The answer button of the headset doesn't work.
Can someone help me with this problems or just one of these problems?
Note: I have hardreset my phone two times and reinstalled the ROM software one time via SEUS. I didnt get any result. I have the original Vodafone R2 software.
I have the 2 second delay too. Using gtrab wm6.5 custom rom

Unplug the headphone jack during a call and plug again (during the same call) and press the answer button. It will terminate the call and start working (until your next xperia soft reset). Double-press the answer button when idle, and it will repeat the last call. If that doesn't work, try it again and again after the first trick of plugging/unplugging and it will work on your 4th/5th try. From then on, all answer/hangup/'repeat last call' functions will work. Until you soft reset of course.
I'm calling a toll free (service center) number to do the trick whenever I have to use the handsfree.

It works (on a WM6.5 rom also)
Nice little trick there, thanks
Tnx for the trick vanauberjim. So it seems more like a hardware problem. Anyway, I will try it tomorrow. Hope that the main problems also be solved like this.
Both 2. and 5. get fixed with the trick, but I just hope SE will find a permanent fix. It's not a solution to unplug and replug the headphones during calls.
My question is: are we the only 3 persons that have this problem? Is this problem originally caused by the headset hardware? Is it caused because the plug is so tight that it severely scratched the middle ring in the headphone jack and it can't always make a connection with the middle ring (the microphone one)? How many people have this problem?
Have the same problem
I do have the same problem and workaround works for mee to but it is annoying!
@vanauberjim, I can ensure you that we are definitely not the only one with these problems. I saw on a popular dutch forum that a lot of people have exactly the same problem.

Have you tested with another hands-free set ? is it the phone or the hands-free causing the problem?
I have send my hands-free to SE yesterday so they will check it and if it was ok I will send the phone back.
About 3 seconds of delay when I answer , I haven't done anything yet , is it a bug , I mean do we have this problem or every X1 out there.
Ok, post back soon because if it's faulty hands free we only have 6 months warranty on handsfree (and battery) and time's running out. The phone has 2 years warranty so we have plenty of time for its handset's faults.
I got the same problems, is annoying BTW ... and about the trick mmm quiet annoying as well, but if is the only way to make it work, no more than just do it.

I think it's a phone problem. I use the original headset and sometimes when I plugin the headset the phone calles the person who I have called earlier. Now I have another stupid problem. When I plugout the headset, the phone still thinks that the headset is plugged in on the phone. I see the headset icon on the phone and when I call someone, I cant hear and speak with the person. Only way I can do this is to plugin the headset again and speak that way. When I plugin and plugout for several times, the headset icon dissapears and I can make my call again without a headset. I think that alle these problems are because the jack plug doesn't function good.
Another issue. I call it issue because it's not a problem, but just a stupid choise of sonyericsson:
- Some soundnotifications during calling like 'busy tone' or 'waiting tone' plays from the main speaker of the phone in instead of the calling/ear speaker. This way, all the people who are sitting next to you hears that the person who you are calling is busy
It will be for the 4th time that I go to the shop with a problem. So I will ask to the shopper if I can choose another phone. I'm thinking about the Touch Pro 2. I'm sick of the problems of Xperia. Don't think that HTC will have the same problems.
