I found that both SipDroid and 3CX Phone for Android both play the calls through the speaker and not the earpiece. Also, neither will play through the Bluetooth earpiece. I'm gussing this is a problem with the X10 since I have other friends using both without a problem on different phones.
Anyone have a work-around for this or a SIP program that does work on the X10?
Thanks
The workaround for me is to set sipdroid in speakerphone mode, this gets the audio routed to my bt headset, but I need to use the phone mic. This is the best I can do now, until my phone, a Samsung Captivate gets updated to Android 2.2.

Hi guys,
Have just installed skype but for some reason it outputs to the device loud speaker rather than the earpiece speaker. Any idea how to change this?
Cheers
I discovered the same thing - using the earplugs that come with the phone will isolate it though, and I assume a bluetooth handsfree set as well.
Bluetooth headset doesn't work for me in Skype, only the wired headset that ships with the device (which is fine).
I have used Skype on the Orbit2. It appeared the same problem and i think there is no solution at the moment. Maybe you can test it with the fring client.
I using Fring for my VOIP and output is on loud speaker as well
Does Fring work for you? The latest version always deletes my WiFi settings (does the same on my Prophet), and I have the hideous malarky of re-entering the WEP key.
yeah this is an old problem, it existed back in the day of the TyTn. It appears it's still unclear if this is a WM or Skype problem. You can use a bluetooth device if you reroute the audio using a third party application:

Has anyone been able to use any type of bluetooth headset with the xoom and skype or google video?
I never have been able to, and was hoping that the latest update would allow it. I can hear through it around 50% of the time but they can never hear me.
Thanks.
i use my bluetooth headset with google talk in video mode. Was a pain in the ass to get it to work, but google talk does support headset protocol.
Same problem here with skype, at first I could hear the ringing thru the headset but once the call connected I got nothing
XOOOOOOOMIN!
btmono in the market sends audio. I've heard it also routes mic input from the headset, but haven't tried. Give it a shot.
I have a Bluetooth 2.0 headset. An LG HBM-210. For the life of me I cannot get it to work how I want it. I'm running Phoenix Blood v1.7 and Faux's 048 kernel. It works with the stock voice dialer but thats IT. Vlingo looks like it would be pretty sweet, but bluetooth voice input does not work for it for me. Nor does reading things back to me (like texts etc.). It uses the internal mic and internal speaker on the phone to playback. When I hit the mic on a text as well, it again only uses the phone's mic and not my bluetooth. Do I need a certain version bluetooth or something to get this to work? Or is there an app that may potentially be a fix for this (tried BTMono briefly). Thanks for any advice in advance.
Even Google Voice Search, only works through the internal phone mic... Same with speaking a destination in Google Navigation..... the ONLY app that works properly is the stock voice dialer. It will say "speak now" into my ear and then correctly picks up what im saying into the bluetooth mic and not the phone internal mic. So strange to me......
This is an issue with the Bluetooth implementation of the phone. I used to use super mono froyo to stream podcasts to my mono Bluetooth. It worked on my other androids, but not this one. You need to get an a2dp Bluetooth. I have a jabra stone 2 that works good except for the battery life. For streaming audio I only got an hour and a half battery life. However it comes with a little round dock to clip on your belt that recharges it. It might be good for the occasional YouTube video or voice dictation/ tts. The reason it only works with voice dialer is because that is built into the handsfree Bluetooth profile. A2dp is for music and stereo audio, I chose a mono a2dp for working purposes(not safe to cover both ears). Good luck!

I just got a Bluetooth headphone/headset (with mic) to use with my GT7+ (GT-P6210 wi-fi only) and my semi-smart phone. The headset (Motorola MOTOROKR S305) has three different pairing modes: music only, phone only, and both.
When I pair it with my little phone, it automatically pairs as both. It works fine as a phone headset (mic and earphones), and it works fine as a stereo headphone with the phone's music player.
When I pair it with my GT7+, it automatically pairs as music-only. There is no microphone function. With Bluetooth off, I can make calls using the GT7+ built-in mic and speaker and the GrooVe IP app. No problems. But with the Bluetooth headset paired, I just don't get the mic function. I can hear the phone audio in the earpieces, but the mic is dead.
Is there any workaround? Is there a way to get the GT7+ to identify itself as a phone-capable as well as music-capable device for the purpose of Bluetooth pairing? (That's what I think must be missing.)
TIA.
I can't speak for that particular headset but I successfully use a jabra (phone headset only) and GV with my tab plus. However, before I had a A100 tab and I had similar mic problems with the same jabra headset...so the whole compatibilty thing seems to be hit or miss.
I assume you checked settings to confirm there are no options to adjust mic? Also, you might see what happens if you pair and use GV right after boot.

I did check settings and I didn't find anything relevant. I also tried pairing while GrooVe IP was running and logged into GV. I'll try that again right after boot. Thanks.
The G3 seems to use the phone mic, not the Bluetooth headset mic for all audio input. I don't recall having this issue with my S5. I know this used to be a huge android issue but I though they had this worked out. The issue is that when I hit the button on my Bluetooth headset to place a call or whatever, the G3 switches to the phone mic for input. The problem is that if your phone is in your pocket, it can't hear you. Can anyone confirm this? Does anyone know of a solution?
After trying just about every voice recognition and control app on the play store I think I can say with certainty that the only app that, on the G3, is able to use the microphone on a Bluetooth headset for input is the Google app. Unfortunately this is not the Google Now app, it's the older Google app which is limited to phone only calls via voice command and requires umpteen confirmations before your call is placed. I'm pretty sure this is an android limitation at this point and is in no way confined to the G3 alone. sigh...
Would this be a function of the make/model of Bluetooth device in any way?
I use google now, dialer pad, voice dial, etc. through my Plantronics earpieces (carry 3 for work, on phone a lot) with the g3 in my pocket, and I have no issues w/BT mic.
I use an LG tone Pro headset as well as the Sync function in my Ford Explorer and both work just fine when connected via BT. Also, I can use voice commands thru my LG G Watch, so I think you may have an issue related to your phone.
What have you "done" to it? Rooted? Xposed MODs? Etc..?
