Lineage OS bluetooth in-call sound problem - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone ant thanks for showing interest.
I have a i9505 Samsung Galaxy S4 (jfltexx) using Lineage OS 14.1 installed with twrp.
The problem is, when I make or answer a call from my Bluetooth headset (or in the car, it's the same thing) the sound drops and I cant hear anything, and the people I'm talking to cant hear me.
After I disconnect the headset, the problem persists and I need to reboot to hear the call.
The problem is persisting on every custom ROM I installed today. The only way to make it work is to flash the original firmware but I don't want it.
Hope you understand as English is not my native language.
Thanks for reading!

Anyone?

Same problem here. Phone calls wo blutooth work perfectly, but after connecting the bluetooth audio ppl cant hear me. After disconnecting the bluetooth device the mic still doesnt work. Reboot fixes this until i would connect bluetooth audio again.

Problems with Jabra BT8040

Hey, is anyone using the bluetooth headset Jabra BT8040, When I first bought the headset, I had no problems using it. But I've noticed a few months ago, that whenever I use the device, the person I'm calling wont be able to hear me but I can hear them. Anyone have any ideas to solve this problem?
Similar problems
I've got the same earpiece and I've had some problems with it, including: unable to pair (or saying it's paired when it really isn't), unable to connect the BT on a call, and sometimes the earpiece will just disconnect from the phone (but the call will still remain active).
That last one is the closest I've come to your issue. I usually have to put the phone in discovery mode (and the earpiece) and try repairing them from scratch.
I've heard from others with this earpiece that they haven't had problems, but I don't know anyone who has this earpiece and the Raphael. Also, I've got the Motorola S9 bt headphones and I haven't had any problems with them. So, I'm not 100% it's the earpiece but then again it could be.
i have this jabra for about 6 months and had no problem at all with Raphael!
Changed ROM
I've just changed the ROM on my phone (as in signature line) so that may change things for me with the Jabra BT.

I'm using the updated ROM and radio in my signature line with the Jabra BT8060 (wasn't it? whatever the one we were talking about in this post is) as well as a Motorola S9 and I pair it with my laptop for internet access that way. So far I have not had the same troubles with the Jabra BT as I used to. It could be due to updated drivers for the BT or the fact that I'm not using TF3D (just the new WM6.5 interface).
Either way, I'm having good results so far.
I spoke too soon on BT...
I've spoken too soon on BT. I was trying to get my Motorola S9 working so I could listen to music from my phone. No luck at all - it shows the S9 connected for both the calls and the the music, but it only works on calls and the music plays on the device with the speaker. And it was working just fine this morning. Bluetooth in general is so frustrating to me that I would literally remove it from every costom ROM I use EXCEPT for "Internet Sharing" (on an Acer laptop and netbook) over bluetooth and activesync with a PC. Not just with this phone, but seriously, with BT 2.0 it should work A LOT BETTER than it does.
I have similar issues with several different Moto H700's. I can hear them but they can not hear me. Possibly the BT drivers from HTC need a fix????

Problems switching from Bluetooth to handset or speaker

Hi,
I've tried searching for the similar topic, but didn't find one.
There is this annoying problem with Bluetooth. While connected to bluetooth car kit and making a call everything works fine until you want to go private and switch to the handset speaker. You may here some sound for 5-10 seconds and then you can hear nothing while the other party hears you. Switching back to bluetooth resolves the issue.
I could post a bug report, but have no idea how to do this
Thank You

I use the Samsung S3 I9300 and have the same problem but I cant hear anything immediately if I leave the car. I have to stop the call and dial again without bluetooth.

call over bluetooth headset/car speakers doesn't work

When I connect to bluetooth headset or car bluetooth I can make couple of phone calls and after while the speaker and mic is not working. I cannot hear anything nor can they hear me.
After I reboot the phone it is OK for while but after few phone calls it is the same again. When only disconnect bluetooth it is still not working only reboot helps.
I have tried to unpair/pair again, soft reset It has been happening for few months now. I have stock 4.4.2
I suspect it could be some app, but not sure.
Anyone having similar issue / advice?
Thanks

Note 4 Exynos Bluetooth Voice Call Problem

Hello everyone, I run into a really weird problem on my Note 4 when receiving voice calls while using a bluetooth headset.
Summary:
If BT headset is not already connected before initiating or receiving a voice call, you have to press bluetooth button during the call to direct sound to phone and then back to the BT in order to get the mic on the headset to work.
More Details :
1. Incoming Voice call
2. While phone is ringing i turn on the bluetooth headset.
3. I answer the call(Either from phone or the headset)
4. I can hear the other party, but he doesn't hear me.
5. The bluetooth headset mic is not working, neither the phone's mic.
6. If i press the bluetooth icon on the phone(while in a voice call) to direct audio to phone, everything works fine.
7. If i press again to direct audio back to bluetooth headset, everything works fine.
8. If the headset is already connected to the phone before i receive the voice call everything works fine.
9. If i make a voice call (maybe cause headset is already connected?) everything works fine.
10. Problem doesn't occur if it's a VOIP call through skype viber etc.
10. Using plantronics Marque M165 & M55, I have unpaired both repaired, cleared bluetooth cache etc problem still there. Lollipop 5.0.1.
For me it's a big issue since if i have the phone in my bag/pocket i have to take it out in order to be able to use the headset, which kind of defeats the purpose.
Anyone facing this ? Any suggestions?
Sorry for the long post & thanks in advance !
Anyone?
Anyone with similar problems ? Any ideas or suggestions ???
Yes, I have a similar problem, but with my car's bluetooth (the only hands free I use). This problem started after I upgraded to Lollipop, and it worked fine in KitKat.
With te device connected to the car's bluetooth, I have to make the call in the phone's Speaker mode until the other party answers. Only then I can switch to bluetooth.
If I make the call in bluetooth mode, I won't hear the ringing through the car's speakers and even after the other party answers, we cannot communicate.
This is a serious bug. It is my 4th Samsung Galaxy phone, and the only one that doesn't work properly. My previous S4 worked perfectly and I regret profoundly having bought the Note 4.
Ironically i don't face the problem you have. Mine works fine with my car's BT but i suppose this happens because in my case the car's BT is already connected to the phone.
I suppose you have tried to repair the bluetooth/ cleared BT cache etc right ?
I've just tried the phone with a Samsung bluetooth and problem solved !....So it doesn't play well with the plantronic's BT , warning for potential buyers !

Help with Bluetooth Connection problem Please

Hi,
I have an S7 Edge which exhibits similar behavior with different bluetooth headsets I own
During a Phone Call, the call will randomly disconnect from the headset and be played through the phone earpiece. The bluetooth device is still conneted and to get sound back through the bluetooth headset i need to disconnect and then reconnect bluetooth for that device...it usually happens again after a few minutes.
I have found that to fix this the only way is to go into bluetooth settings and disable 'media audio' and just keep 'call audio' selected
While this is a solution, it's a pain if I want to later use the headset for media audio (eg., other apps like music etc. on the phone) as i have to manually switch this over.
I haven't found any apps in the play store which help with this. Does anyone know if it can be fixed or have you experienced similar issues which you've resolved? I have tried to clear the cache as I found in some other threads, but this didn't seem to help
Thanks in advance for your help
