Had my XDAII with Logitech Mobile Bluetooth Headset for about 7-8 months when I started to lose volume from the headset. Sounded like I lost the call when this intermittent problem occurred. Headset was replace with another new one, same problem. XDAII sent away for repair, received back with same problem.
NOW
I have the XDAIIi with a different bluetooth problem. Thesound quality is poor most of the time. Main problem is that the headset volume is either far to loud or soft, it never seems to be the right volume. Also poor mic. I record my answer phone every day which includes today date for my business. Often the recording is broken or of poor quality.
I love this bluetooth headset as its unique in the way it grips your ear and you can easily clip it to your shirt when not in use. Does anyone have any suuggestions or similar experiences?

I have 3 jamin ( I and my friend).
after 4 mounth when I reject the handfree the sound is not functoin right.
this mean when I cancel handfree the sound isn't go to speaker. and when put in again ofhen work and sometimes not.
I think my phone have hardware problem.
in my country this haven't a good warranty.
Might be hardware-switch in 2.5mm headset connector
I possibly had a similar experience:
-With headset everything was fine.
- Without headset the speaker and microphone were dead.
- The speaker did rang on incoming calls, so it wasn't defect.
Because I lately switched to 'Fantastic 1.1' rom (whis indeed is fantastic) I suspected software-malfunction, searched half a day for software and registry solutions and fussed with the registry. No result.
Finally, i stumbled to a posting that explained the behaviour. Within the 2.5mm headset connector is a tiny (more precisely 'lousy') hardware-switch, that tells the phone if there is a headset connected or not.
When that switch failes (in my case beacuase of a lot of dust), the phone acts as if an headset is connected.
So with no warranty left I opened the phone (very) carefully, cleaned the connector, fiddled with the switch and sound was ok.
Be carefull trying though, I think it's a good opportunity to ruin your phone.
Good luck.
I use jabra and if I have the phone in my pocket, the sound gets tons of static, my a2dp headset tends to skip when the phone is in my pocket, out of the pocket it works perfectly, if I put the phone behind me, thus my body is in between the headset and the phone, i also get tons of static even though the distance is 20 inches.
I tested my 3125 smartphone against the Touch cruise and the 3125 range was three times farther then the touch cruse. Back to mobileplanet this heap of **** goes.

The radio stack on the test ROM makes a HUGE difference
I have the same issue even with the new radio--bluetooth strength much weaker than my old trinity. Wonder if there is a registry setting to boost the signal?
this phone is brutal, with 3g and bluetooth on, I drop calls like no tommorrow,it seems when driving it is even worse. I seen it where it has perfect signal and for no apparent reason, it drops the call. It just gives me three faint beeps when it disconnects. I don't know what it means, also these phones are not assembled well. this sucks for 700 dollar phone, I did try the new radio also, it didn't make no difference other then I didn't get disconnected on 3g as much but bluetooth still sucked, my 3125 I measured again has 3 times the range,just having your hand in between the phone and the headset gets you lot of static on the headset. I sent mine back today. Bluetooth is critical to me,I figure HTC would at least get the bluetooth right but I guess they are a mess right now with all their issues. Hoping to get hp 614 instead.
I am using the Jabra BT3030, works like a charm. This is with the default rom.
Plantronics Explorer 510 here. Absolutely perfect sound.
Parrot MK6100 car HF set. Crap, thin sound reported on the other side. Low volume.
To be more specific- both sony ds200 and itech r35 have good sound, no static but the range is very poor and easily blocked by a human body. The sony sound is much better probably because its bluetooth 2 with a better data rate. The a2dp (only with the sony) needs the "a2dp fix" and a fresh reboot before using in order not to have the drop outs. All told, not much different than with my trinity but with less range. Very disappointing considering price and another year to perfect the system. HTC really does need to work on the drivers and software before selling the device. The average user is not going to go to all this trouble and will be very letdown.
OMG this freakin PDA is driving me nuts as a phone. Anyone get really bad performance when using speakerphone or bluetooth to another party who is also on speakerphone? The best way I can describe this is it sounds like I'm talking on an old half-duplex speakerphone, that cuts the speaker when the mic is active. For example, if I make a sound on my end like scrunch a piece of paper or drop a pen the audio in the headset "dims" out and then back for a good half second, enough to make the call unintelligible sometimes when I'm in the car or driving. This happens especially if the person on the other end is on speaker.
One thing I noticed: this does not happen as much with the stock plug-in headset. Only speakerphone and most especially bluetooth. Speakerphone has other problems too, like a real nasty high-pitched audio loop that makes the person on the other end cringe (again, other person on speakerphone when this happens).
I've had this with the person on the other end using a Sprint speakerphone and a regular land line speakerphone, so it's not their phone.
I've looked around for quite a while, have the phone for over a month, and have seen some other fixes for audio that don't seem to relate to this issue, but:
does ANYONE else have this problem?

I would like to share my experience with my S7 G930 and the problem I have with BT audio.
I have a helmet with BT N-com from Nolan that let you use your phone and play music via BT. It works very well with my S4 Lollipop but has problem with my new S7 (stock Rom Android 6.0.1).
When you try to play media stream the sound is very choppy and stuttering.
I tried to use my helmet with many other devices and it works good. I tried to use S7 with other BT speakers or audio receivers and it also works good!
So I have finally discovered the difference between all the successfully tests and the one that fails when I try the S7 + Helmet combination.
The helmet offers both headset service (for phone calls) and the A2DP service (for music streaming). The problem is there when both the services are in use at the same time if the headset service is started first. Since headset is faster to connect than A2DP this is always the case. If I disconnect the BT and activate manually the services in the opposite order (first A2DP and then Headset) everything start to work fine.
Since the S4 works good without problem I think this is a problem with S7 or Android 6.0.1.
I hope this will help someone else with my same problem and I hope to have some feedback of your experiences with BT peripherals that use both the services (usually it should be the case with car hi-fi). I would be happy to report this issue to
Since this is a helmet you're talking about, I assume this is outdoor experience?
My Sennheiser Momentum 2 Wireless - MSRP $500, so it's about as premium as you can get for a Bluetooth, noise-canceling headphone - gets slightly choppy outside, under a few different scenarios...
* If the phone is in my back pocket, and I had my hand in that pocket covering the phone, audio is choppy and awful
* Weekday mornings as I exit NY Penn Station to walk to work, the audio gets choppy for a few seconds before stabilizing for the rest of the walk.
* On the walk back to Penn Station at 6, as soon as I get to the corner of 33rd and 8th Ave (opposite the building), audio gets awful again until I get outside the front of the station.
I'm on my second pair of headphones, with this one functioning better than the first pair. But it has me wondering whether the problem is with the headphones or with the S7. Sennheiser says it's due to all the other Bluetooth and wireless signals in the area, and I can understand that. But my previous pair, Sony MDRXB950BT, didn't have these issues. One user on Head-Fi wondered if it's the power management of the headphones, since they have great battery life and the noise cancelling kicks in automatically with Bluetooth.
I tested the first pair of the Momentums with an iPhone 6 Plus, while the drops and hiccups weren't as bad as with the S7, they were still there. So I'm leaning more towards a headphone problem than a handset problem.
I'm definitely experiencing similar issues. BUT, I'm streaming to my receiver which worked amazing until after the last update. I'm on 6.0.1. Works perfect in my car right now (fingers crossed). But it has done it a few times, thought it was my case which was aluminum.
Either way a patch or minor update needed. Tired if the random choppiness. Sad that I have to keep the phone plugged into a wireless receiver. .???
I'm having an issue with my Idol 3 5.5". It functions normally when in handset or speaker mode I can hear the other party and they can hear me, but when I connect to my car's Bluetooth people tell me they can't hear me or it sounds like the mic is far away and under water. I did not have this problem with my last phone so I do not believe the issue is with my car (it's a Grom unit) I have only had this phone for a couple weeks and have had the issue from the beginning.
I'm running 6.0.1 stock ROM build 7VAB-UEB0
So far I have tried:
turning off and on Bluetooth on my phone during or right before calls
unpairing and repairing my car
I am charging an old Bluetooth earpiece to try that today and make sure it isn't an issue with my car.
Anyone else have this issue and were you able to solve it?
Me too, dont know what to do

Not the same issue. That thread is talking about poor/low microphone when recording video. This thread is about poor microphone quality through bluetooth, which does not use the phone's microphone.
I'm still trying to determine what the issue is. I tried using an old bluetooth headset and the test call was fine so I will try it tomorrow while driving to confirm. It might be that the Idol doesn't like certain bt devices.
