Hi,
Just having a couple of issues that I hope someone can help.
I dont use bluetooth to make calls when driving (basicallly my car BT quality sucks).
I use a standard set of mic/earbuds.
On my last phone (Galaxy S5) when I made a phone call using headset the screen would not go to sleep but it does on the 6P.
Has anyone else noticed this and is there a way I can make the screen stay awake during headset/handsfree calls?
My second problem is small but slightly annoying.
The last couple of phones Ive had the screen woke up when I plugged in a headset which was useful, again is there a way to get this on the 6P
Looking forward to any help from you guys.
Thanks
Dave

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 am looking for a tweak or registry fix/setting to help me with the following problem:
On my parrot bluetooth car kit in headset mode after a call is finished the phone stays on. This is not a problem if you finish a normal call without handsfree because you switch it off manually but when you are driving with the phone in your pocket, the phone is liable to screen presses. I have been inadvertently creating/editing contacts and making notes with the phone in my pocket after use in the car.
The screen autopower off does work if the screen is not activated for a few minutes but the inadvertent screen presses occur within this timeframe.
Any help is appreciated - thanks!
I have a similar problem when using my bluetooth headset (Samsung WEP200)…
When I make a call using the headset the screen stays active, and if I turn it off during a call it turns it self on again after the call has ended. Not fun if it’s in my pocket and it decides to call someone back without me knowing.
Is there a general setting or fix that disables the screen when you answer or make a call with the headset active?
Have you found any solution to this?

Nope, not yet…
I can’t believe that there aren’t a lot more people with this problem!? It’s a REALLY STUPID problem to have on such an advanced phone like the Blacksone when nearly EVERY basic mobile phone has this feature since the dawn of BT headsets.
This might leave me no other choice than to retire my beloved Blackstone and dig up my old Samsung phone so that I can drive my car safely with my phone in my pocket…
There is an app called Touch InCall Screen Tweak. With that you can configure so that screen will go off quickly when answering and ending calls and bluetooth headset is used. It works great for me!

I actually tried that app yesterday but didn’t get it working as I wanted. How did you configure it?
I guess I can try it again – would be great if it works!
Well, now I can make a call without worrying about it to end (with the InCall Touch app), but when the call is ended we're back making random calls without knowing to whom.
This amazes me, how this feature can be missing. It’s not something I admit to my iPhone friends who still tries to find something that Blackstone can’t do – cuz this even works on the iPhone!
I'll try tweaking till I or someone else can find a solution to this rather embarrassing problem.
Hi All
I got Motorola S9 Headset handsfree and when anyone calls me or i call them they get the echo back it is unuseable, i thought let you all know not to get this type of headset for HTC HD and if anyone knows how to fix this issue please let me know.
thanks
I am not able to help much there, but i do not get any issues myself with echo when any calls come though. They work very well for me, my only downside to the S9 is music listening can stop now and then, but thats just an issue with the phone that hopefully be fixed in a new update.
One thing thou i noticed thou, if i turn the phone onto stand by manually using the power button once, then i connect my headset while in standby it works fine, or if i leave it on, again it works fine. Only time is when it goes into standby itselfs.
Maybe worth testing it when its in standby and connecting your S9's
Thanks for replay. could you explain how you mean? connect as stand by.
thanks
By the way I tried on my mate HTC HD as well he got the exact same problem, it is HTC problem
Basically i make sure bluetooth is switched on with S9 off, make sure there all paired up. Then i press the power button once quickly on the HD which turns screen off and into standby mode (cuts off any data connections on mine) Then turn on the S9's which will then connect to the HD on its own. This way works alot better for me using my items.
Ok so I'm trying to trace down what might be happening here.
Ive got a LG Tone Pro 750 BT headset which I totally love for the most part (epic battery time for one thing). Bought it about a month ago.
About a week ago, maybe two, something weird starts happening. I'll get a call, pick it up and no sound. Caller may or may not hear me, but if they do, it appears to be garbled (I've done a poor job of asking callers if they could hear me and inquiring about that part of the experience so not very good feedback there).
Since I'd had the BT headset for a couple weeks already, I don't even consider there could be a problemo there. So I take the SG4 to Sprint and have a tech check it out.
He comes out to see me (never happens).
Asks me if I have the LG Tone Pro headset. He then proceeds to tell me that he has the same problem on his LG (!) phone with that headset (although it's a later model than my Tone Pro 750...next one up from that model).
He says that the only way he has been able to fix it is by unpairing and re-pairing the headset. Says he has to do it every other day or so.
That was early last week.
So for the next day or two, I go without the headset being re-paired. All is well with the three or four calls I get.
I pair the headset but don't get any calls. I do listen to some podcasts and that is fine (but was never a problem so no change there).
The next day (this morning) I get a call. Problem is back. I try turning off BT making calls and that doesn't fix it. Have to restart the phone.
So I do and I can now make and receive calls. However, BT is off.
It sure looks like this is a problem with the headset.
But I also noticed a preponderance of SG4 owners complaining about a somewhat similar issue where the mic would suddenly turn off on their phone, mid call. Seems WIFI signals would somehow interfere with it (I tried turning off WIFI though and that didn't fix it).
Is there anything else I can do to diagnose this better and maybe get to the bottom of it?
What could be happening here? Is this the headset not playing well with the OS? Is there a way to tell?
Why would this start happening off a sudden two weeks after I'd been using it heavily with no problems?
Also, I'm trying to find more instances of this issue online but it's tough one to Google.
(As a side note, LG doesn't seem to be a very good company when it comes to customer service. I saw several instances on Android Central where their customers reported issues with the headset and then were told their posting violated the TOS of the forum. WTF is up with that? Have they not realized there is ths thing called the Internet? Do they think people won't eventually catch on? )
I'm seriously considering returning this thing, but the truth is, I really want to keep it if I can get it to work. Probably a pipe dream though, now that I've written all this out. lol
I'm even considering rooting my SG4 and throwing another ROM on to see if that fixes it. That's how much I like the headset.
Happy to receive any feedback from fellow forum members. Thanks in advance.
PS: Just realized I haven't really tried just unpairing and re-pairing more than once so I'm going to test that some more over next few days meanwhile...
I am having the same problem but with different headset (MOW and Jabra).
One thing that I tied worked but I can only use my headset to listen to music. In each headset setting located in the Bluetooth pairing list, I uncheck the CALL AUDIO and leave the MEDIA AUDIO check. This allows me to use my headset for music but not calls.
A complete fix would be great, please?
BT media audio works, phone audio fails

Glad you posted this because I hadn't even thought to try, as part of my troubleshooting, whether I could still play media on the phone through the headset when call audio was not coming through.
Last night I made a couple of calls just fine with my LG Tone Ultra (upgraded to see if this fixed the problem, but no change) and then made a third one. On this third one I could not hear any sound but the call connected (it was to my wife--she later told me she got a call but no sound on her end either).
So this is very strange. Somehow the BT headset is just dropping the call side of the audio.
And, it's doing so randomly.
Sure would like some more insight on what is likely the cause of this situation. I submitted a question to LG through their website but no response. That was days ago.
Chapter 2 of this problem

Just posted a new thread on this issue with some log data that I'm hoping a kindly dev may help decipher.
Letting you know in case you want to keep an eye on that thread as well.
Hey guys,
I am a proud S7 Edge owner since two weeks ago. I love it. The overall performance is astonishing y it's design ir ergonomic and beautiful.
But, nothing is perfect, and I found a little problem that is getting me crazy.
I live in Barcelona, and a use a lot the motorbike to move through the city. I have a Bluetooth headset installed in my helmet and i heavily use my LG G WATCH while riding.
I start calls using the watch, you know: "Ok Google, call to......."
The problem is that, while the device is in my pocket and if it is connected to the helmet's Bluetooth headset, the screen remains turned on, PROXIMITY SENSOR DOESN'T WORK while Bluetooth is working. Humidity in Barcelona is very high in summer, and I accidentally end a lot of calls, or while speaking I touch number buttons continuously, with is very disgusting for the person on the other side of the phone.
The user experience is absolutely frustrating.
Does anybody know how to fix this problem?
I came from a HTC M8, M9 and OnePlus X and didn't have this problem with them.
Thank you all.
There should be an option under Screen to keep the screen off while the phone is in a pocket.
I will answer to myself.
I found the solution here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/help/screen-bluetooth-connection-starts-t2925836
Bluetooth headset's setting should be like in the attached image.
I hope it will help someone.
EDIT: Doesn't work for calls.
