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.

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,
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?
Hi,
I purchased a new Moto X pure a couple weeks ago and it is dropping my Plantronics Voyager Legend ear piece when I am on a call and a new one comes in (regardless if I let it go to voicemail, try to send it to voicemail, rings in the background or I try to switch callers and pick up the new call); when a call comes in (no other call already on the phone) and I depress the call answer button on the Voyager Legend, it picks up and immediately drops to the phone handset. It is also dropping the earpiece at other intermittent times. I have to turn the ear piece off and back on to pick up a call in progress already but, doesn't always work.
Initially I thought my ear piece had just gone bad, even though it worked normally with my Galaxy S5 and I purchased a new Plantronics Voyager Legend and the new unit also has the same issues but, also works great with the Galaxy S5. I am now convinced this is a software issue on the Moto X Pure.
Has anyone else had this issue and does anyone know how to possibly fix the issue?
Thanks,
Chris
Somewhat related. My MXSP has been dropping connection to my keylink like crazy. I know the keylink of fine because it was previously paired to my G2 without issue. Bluetooth.
It drops my Sena SMH5 helmet comm system too from time to time.

Sounds like this might be happening to more of us than we realize. Has anyone else had Bluetooth connection issues? Have you found a way to resolve it?

Sounds just like my earpiece issue, I think something is killing the connection in the background... I just don't what is dong it or where to find it.
Bluetooth Drops - Known Moto X Pure Issue - On Moto X Pure Forums Also
Looks like this is an issue with the Moto X Pure. It is being discussed on the Motorola Forums here... forums.motorola.com/posts/c9e1881ed7?commentId=992505#992505
Please add your input and comments there, so Motorola knows these appear to be systemic issues, not individual issues with a particular handset. If anyone finds any additional info on how to fix the issue or hears of updates to fix it from Motorola, please post those updates/info here also.
Thanks,
Chris
Does anyone have a status update on getting the BT fixed? I use my phone for work and I can't continue to work like this, toally unreliable and embarrasing in front of clients. Will have to return it if it isn't fixed asap. Shame, I generally like the phone.
Chris
I've been having the same issue with my LG Tone pro. Also if I get a call while listening to music, it won't pause the music when I answer like my old phone did. Really not happy about that...
Also been having issues with my Pebble disconnecting periodically as well
i have a plantronics earpiece (dont know the model # got it from verzion) and it hasnt done it to me yet. had the phone for about a month now.
Anyone... anyone... Buehler?
Still no response from Moto on fixing the bluetooth issue? May have to return the unit and get another phone before the 30 days is up. Very disappointing. Jumped from long line of Galaxy devices to give this a try with high hopes. Looking like a major fail at this point.
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've been using iphone for many years but as i laid my eyes on beauty S8 i bought it, its beautiful but being a fitness addict and die hard music lover i use headsets alot.
The only big problem i faced is calling using headsets while having my phone in my pocket, as soon i place a call using assistant or bixby or pick up any incoming call, phone display wakes up and touch starts working as phone display is in contact with my leg while im working out or doing smthing else touch got a response from my thigh. Sometimes it goes on speaker sometimes mute...lame
I didnt faced this problem before with my iphone as it keep locked even if place a call using headsets via siri.
Can anyone help...pls??
