Topaz + BT hands free (Sony MEX-BT2500)

Hi there,
Can anyone help me solve this problem:
Ik have a Sony car radio with a BT hands free function (MEX-BT2500) in my car. When I make a call, the radio stops and I can speak hands free, hearing the conversation on the car-speakers. All nice, like it should be.
Problem is when I receive a call. The radio stops and I hear a ringtone (not my phone-tone though ). When I awnser the call, the caller can hear me, but I can't hear him, unless I take the phone in my hand and put it on my ear. The sound doesn't come through the car-speakers. So an incoming call can't be awnsered handsfree.
With my former phone (nokia 6230), it was no problem. Anyone knows how to solve this?

If it was the same as my problem, turn up the volume on the phone
My phone was the exact same, for some reason when it connected it was turning the volume right down!
Hope yours as as simple

Unfortunately my problem is not that simple. I got an incoming call yesterday when I was driving, but again no sound. When I called back, there were no problems. Does anyone else have a solution?

Well, I don't have the Sony-stereo, but I've got a Pioneer with BT. I have bumped into several issues with it, and the solution is the same every time:
-first, if you have a settings-option called something like "reset BT-memory", try that one, and pair phone again.
-If that doesn't work, next step is full reset of the stereo, meaning you pull it out and disconnect the power. Then plug it back in, and re-pair phone.
This at least did the trick for me, now voice-dial works perfectly, and I even have "BT Audio", meaning I can play my Topaz' music on my carstereo without hassle.

Could also be something else simple, you are using the stereo to answer and not the handset?
If I answer using the phone with my stereo then I get the same issue as you, answer using the stereo and all is well

[Q] LG G3 + gwatch: callers can't hear me speak over bluetooth when connected

Hi,
I realize this will sound like a strange issue, but I can reproduce it so it certainly exists.
I have an LG G3 running Android 4.4.2 on Verizon. I just bought it back in Jan '15, and the phone has been working great with no issues. I use my car's built in bluetooth connectivity to place and receive calls while driving and have had no issues doing so.
A few days ago (week of 3/9/15), I acquired a used LG G watch from a friend at work. It's in good shape; he only had it a few months, and it's working well. It connects to my phone, and I can use it to txt, place calls, etc. It's running software version 5.0.2.
I am experiencing an issue for which I cannot find the root cause. My issue is that, when I'm in my car, and both the car and the watch are connected to the phone via blue tooth, and I place or receive a call, folks on the other end cannot hear me speak. I tried it with my wife's cell phone, and can reproduce it every call. My voice is barely audible, yet bluetooth is connected to the car and I can hear the other person's voice just fine over my car speakers. As this is happening, if I pick up my phone and switch the call to the handset from bluetooth, the problem goes away and I can take the call on the handset. But as soon as I put it back to bluetooth, the problem returns. Once this happens, if I hang up and try to call the person back using either bluetooth OR the handset, the voice problem returns and I cannot be heard speaking. I tried putting my mouth up to the watch and the phone thinking maybe it was trying to use another microphone, but I still sounded muffled and far away while I was testing this with my wife's phone.
I have checked all my settings in Android Wear, my phone settings for volume as well as call settings...I cannot find anything obvious. I've googled the issue, but there is little to no information regarding this problem.
Can anyone suggest something to help fix this? I really like the G watch, and I would like to get it to work so I can enjoy it. You would think that the G3 and G watch would play nice since they are both LG!
Thanks for any help,
Nick

Having the same issue....sort of...
First, allow me to apologize for any improper formatting or if I've tendered my reply in the wrong way.
I've literally never replied on a message board in my life. Ugh, I know. How, right? Moving on...
I have an issue very similar to the one you're having, only in place of the car, put a Plantronics WalMart headset and change the G3 for it's predecessor. I notice that people call me when my watch is connected to my phone. When I answer, they claim to not be able to hear or understand what I am saying. The problem persists even if I disconnect my headset and use the G2 in either handset or speakerphone mode. The only fix I've found is to restart the phone and return the call. Even then, if the watch is still connected, only the first call can be completed with no "interference".
I've attempted to update the software and firmware to my G2, with no success. I have no idea why this issue occurs.
Also, is probably noteworthy that regardless of whatever Bluetooth device I am connected, very very often during a call, my caller's voice will shift into "speakerphone" mode without being instructed to do so. I have to open the call screen, turn off the BT, then select it again to turn it back on. The call returns to the headset, but doesn't stay there in most cases. Sometimes I have to do this 5 - 7 times a call. Other times, it remains connected as it's supposed to. Again, I can find no reason why this happens, but it's been an issue for MONTHS with my G2. And it doesn't matter what headset I am using, it just "drops" the sound to my speaker phone, but still says that it remains connected to the headset.
It's a Sprint LG G2, if that matters at all.

Have you tried going into android settings for voice input and allowing recording using Bluetooth mic?

Chevy Bluetooth

I have 2010 Chevy Cobalt and I tried to take two phone calls on my drive to work today via in car bluetooth. Both times at some point during the call audio stuttered for a few moments and then the GM bluetooth was disconnected. The call switched to handset speaker (not speakerphone).
I just got the phone Friday and it paired fine with my car, but this was the first time I had received any calls. The first call was the longer of the two and I heard it stutter but then thought maybe the person on the other end hung up, but I could still hear him very faintly. I grabbed the handset and finished the call. A few minutes later the phone rang again and I answered it but it was a spam caller about a car warranty so I cut her off and said I wasn't interested and right as I was about to hang up it started stuttering. I hit the hang up button on my steering wheel and the car bluetooth said "call ended" but I think it disconnected from BT before it actually sent the hang up command because the call sat there for a few moments before it ended when she hung up.
It was connected to an A2DP device for streaming music that worked fine before and after the calls (Spotify stopped when the calls came in and resumed after they were done), but I did notice that my Fitbit wasn't syncing today while I was at work so I rebooted the phone and the Fitbit and it synced fine. I will probably try making another phone call tonight on my way home to see if rebooting fixed it.
Lastly I saw that there were two new factory images posted today for the 6p (MDB08L, MDB08M). There is a mention of bluetooth in the security bulletin, so maybe it will help?
Thanks for any advice anyone can provide.

Could be your stereo. I've got a 2014 caravan and the Bluetooth in it sucks. I have no issues pairing, calls, music etc on my Kenwood deck in my other car. I would think about upgrading to an after market deck.

It seemed to work OK for an outgoing call last night on my way home with no changes, other than rebooting. I didn't get a chance to flash the new factory image last night because I got home too late, but I'll be doing it tonight. Might have just needed a reboot or something.

having issues with this phone and my 2015 camaro. streaming music skips no matter how good or poor signal. Even streaming internal memory music skips.

Low mic volume on calls from the microfone

Just 2 days now my mic is low when i call, bluetooth calls are working, but no the microfone from the device
what can i do? i have wileyfox storm

Hi.
I've just commented in another thread. I've got the same problem.
If I turn Bluetooth off then on again, it fixes the problem until the next time I connect to the Bluetooth head unit in my car.
HTH.

Hi.
As another reply, I sorted it.
I had Google Now able to "OK Google" from any screen.
I turned this off, and the phone behaviour has now gone back to normal!

Answering calls via bluetooth issue.

I have a converted T-Mobile OP6T running the latest 9.0.12 OOS.
Whenever I receive a call and have a Bluetooth device connected, either my Jaybird headphones or my car stereo, It's very hit or miss on whether or not I'll be able to answer it with the Bluetooth device.
If I receive a call, it will ring and I'll try to answer it with the button on my earbuds, and I'll get nothing. Sometimes I can pick up my phone and they'll be on the earpiece, other times I can't hear them at all. I have to hang up and call them back. This is the same with my car stereo.
I did not have this problem BEFORE I did a factory wipe last week, which seems odd.
Hopefully, someone has a solution to this, as it pisses me off daily.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
I've forgotten and re-added both Bluetooth devices multiple times with the same outcome.

Well, I was hoping someone had some input on this, as it's aggravating me daily. Maybe I'll try another wipe without restoring anything.

Same issue

I have the same issue. When I have the phone connected to my car stereo bluetooth, I can make outgoing calls via bluetooth just fine, but when I answer the call, it goes to my earpiece. I have to manually switch it back to bluetooth.
I haven't found a solution yet and the issue has plagued me across multiple versions of OxygenOS. When I had the 6T on ASOP, the behavior stopped, so I know this is an OxygenOS issue and not a general Android issue. OnePlus must have the stack messed up.
Since my phone is rooted, I'll take a look at the bluez settings and see if I find something there.

Mine is 100% stock, does the same thing. Plantronics 5200 headset. If the headset is off, phone rings, turn it on, put it on, auto answers fine.
If the headset is turned on, on my ear, hit or miss it will answer, or default to my phone or watch, forcing me to hit the button to switch it to
the headset.
