I am having a problem with Bluetooth on my Galaxy S4. Scenario is as follows:
I am listening to media (ie audiobook or music) and make or receive a call. (so media profile to headset is in use when call begins)
I will hear the other person perfectly but they hear scratchy or otherwise bad audio. (Several people thought I was sick.)
If I turn the headset off, then back on (ie reconnect), it sounds fine to the other person but only after a delay of 10 seconds or so.
I assume this has something to do with the media profile connection staying on during the call. It is very inconvenient to have to turn off the headset or to have to go into the bluetooth settings and disable the media connection manually.
Is there any other fix?
Thanks,
Osiris

I have skype installed on my qtek 9000, and wanted to be able to use it from my bluetooth headset (Jabra 250). I started skype from the qtek screen, and of course could not get the bluetooth audio to stay on for more than a few seconds. The cyberon voice dialer keeps starting up, and as soon as it is through waiting for sound, it shuts down and so does the bluetooth headset audio. I happened to create a voice tag to start skype, and made a 100% repeatable discovery. If I start skype from the headset, I have continuous audio. Even if I shut skype down in memory, running programs, the audio continues in the jabra. If I start skype from the qtek screen, this does not happen. Once I have the continuous audio connection, a simple press of the headset button reverts all to normal. Hopefully there will be some information here to allow a hack of the audio gateway problem.
i just tried to reproduce this on my mda pro with jabra 800...it worked..actually it is my feeling it worked ecactly every other time.but this is ok too, if one knows it you can tell by the noise in the headset if its connected or not..amazing...what a useful information...great! thanks for posting...interesting no one else jumped on it yet...the question now is how to get an incoming call into the headset...
So you're saying you can listen to audio over the headset or something?

vj: thats exctly right...isn't that amazing? the moment you get the headset connected through bringing up skype with the voice tag, the headset stays connected until you disconnect it again by pressing the appropriate button on the headset..even if then you switch apps it stays on..you hear every system sound etc in the headset.obviously the sound is a noisy phone headset sound and sure has nothing to do with a2dp..but you hear...actually i just tried to do the trick with assigning a voice tag to media player...didn't work...but skype can initiate it and keeps it up...cool...
AndyME: give me a few mins and I'll show you a better trick... coming soon
V
you know what: i expected something like this from you when i saw that apparently you got nterested...lol...the good thing about this trick is: you do not have to restart the device to get into this mode..although i stll have not figured 100% out how to make it happen for sure...it kind of works sometimes and sometimes not...now i am curious to see what you are coming up with....lol...
Ok Andy, finally finished the webpage.

You basically want to try the -agon option. It should, I hope, transfer audio straight over to your headset. I hope.

Whenever i use the MW600 to anwer calls , ppl complain that when they say something they can hear themselves echoing what they said. Anyone with this headset has the same issue or know how to fix it?
Turn the volume down on it then.. Pretty simple fix.
thanx for the suggestion, but turning down volume when using it in car doesn't work, it seems that when you use headset the phones mic doesn't turn off so it picks up the car speakers and that's why people hear themselves echoing
The MW600 isn't made for Car Use... So the issue can be normal!
I've noticed that my MW600 doesn't always sync to Phone and Media audio, sometimes just to Media - which will probably mean that the Mic on the phone is still open, hence the problem you describe.
I've worked out that the way to avoid this is to connect to the phone the following way:
1) Enable Bluetooth on phone
2) Turn on MW600
3) Check in BT setting that both Phone and Media audio are connected and that the headphone symbol is displayed.
I find that if I turn on the MW then activate BT on the phone, they just don't connect properly...
I use mine in the car on a regular basis and find it superb, and have had no complaints
thanx for this tip I'm going to try it, I hope it fixes the echoing
I have a Jabra BT3030 stereo bluetooth headset. Set it up with the Aria yesterday, and it's working like a champ now, but not without some hassle.
First my question. I can't seem to figure out how to answer the phone or make calls with this headset. Sometimes the sound is in the headset, sometimes it's in the handset. I can't seem to find the pattern. Before I go run a bunch of tests and try and figure it out, I figured maybe I am doing something wrong so I thought I'd ask. How can I consistently get the sound in the bluetooth headset?
It seems to be a common issue about using a stereo bluetooth headset such as the BT3030 with Android phones, but not commonly answered in the forums. So here's a little FYI. It took about 10 tries to get the headset to be "connected". It discovered it and paired easily, but then just constantly said "disconnected" until about the 10th try. Once it connected once, then it would always connect and reconnect even after phone reboots or power cycling the BT3030. So if you are trying to set one of these up, don't give up on the first try.
After it first became "connected", it would not do anything but phone sound through the headset. It said it was "connected for phone and media" or whatever, but would not play media sounds, and the remote controls didn't work. Once I made a phone call with the headset, it magically started to play media sounds through the headset, but the controls still didn't work. Once I fooled with it for a while, rebooted the phone, on/off the headset, restarted the music app, etc., eventually it started working fully including the controls.
So the answer is, this headset WILL work in stereo for both media and phone sounds as well as full remote control including answering the phone from the remote, but it does take some monkeying with it so don't give up.
I'm having a few odd occurrences with bluetooth, and wanted to see if anyone else is having similar issues
1) When making an outgoing call over bluetooth, the caller on the other end can hear themselves echo, and barely hear me. If they immediately call right back it is no longer echoing.
2) Bluetooth mic gain is significantly lower that it was on my previous phone (Palm Pre)
3) Sometimes on bluetooth it seems to get confused as to which audio source to play. I have tasker setup to start Pandora when it sees the bluetooth connection from my car, which works quite well. The issue is that when on a call, sometimes Pandora will pipe in.
Hi hello guys how are you. So i have th essential phone and the gear s3 frontier. When the watch is paired to the phone whenever i receive or make a phone call even using the phones dialer. I would get no sound at all. The other person cant hear me either. I noticed that even if i pick up a call with the phone it would automatically switch to the watch. I think it might be a glitch thinking is more like a radio Bluetooth. So even if i switch to the phone or speaker. No audio at all. If i turn off the Bluetooth everything is back to normal. Any suggestions. I would like to keep on using my watch. Sometimes im not near my phone and would like to talk through the watch. If i go into the Bluetooth settings i can toggle the option for voice calls. I would get the notification when receiving a call but on the watch i cant only decline now.
You have to go in BT settings and set the watch not to be used for phone audio
no audio when answering an incoming call, while paired with a smartwatch
hi,
I'm experiencing the same thing, but I would use another title for the bug (see above).
The answer in post #2 is helping me to get audio when answering a phone call, BUT I can't use my smartwatch (Gear S3) for making calls or answering calls anymore.
So when I disable the "phone audio" in the smartwatch Bluetooth connection profile, the phone sends the audio to the earpiece, as no audio Bluetooth device is connected --> audio is available when answering the call.
But as I want to use my smartwatch for making and answering calls, I'd like to get a solution for this.
Side note: there is no audio on both ends. I can't hear the other end and the other end can't hear me. And the "no audio" thing is only present for the first 10 seconds of a call. After that the audio starts to work on both ends via phone (when watch is connected as BT audio device).
