Hi everyone,
I've been using bluetooth devices with my captivate ever since I got it without any problems. But after updating to 2.2 last week, i noticed that the phone speaker stops working after you use your bluetooth headset once.
What happens is the following. After you use your bluetooth headset to talk on the phone for example, after that you cannot get any kind of sound to come out of the phone. There are no notifications, no ringing when someone calls you, not even music or sound from youtube videos, simply no sound at all.
The only way to fix it is to restart the phone, then everything goes back to normal until you use your bluetooth device again.
What I mean when I say using bluetooth device is, is actually using it for a phone call. The act of connecting the bluetooth device doesn't affect the speaker. The problem only occurs after using the bluetooth device.
This happens with both BT headset, BlueAnt Q2 and the BT built into my car.
I called AT&T last week with this problem and they gave me a refurbished Captivate and the same problem is happening on the replacement.
Any ideas?
Thank you.
Since upgrading I've lost my sound a few times. The only way to get it back is to reboot. I do use a bluetooth.
The other thing I've discovered is that while the bluetooth is connected when I get a notification, the sound that comes through the phone speaker is very choppy. If I turn off bluetooth the notification sound clears up.
We waited so long for such garbage.

At least the sound comes back for you. On my phone it does not, until I reboot the phone.
Hi everyone,
My car has a bluetooth chip inside, but it only works when someone calls me or when I call someone. The BT chip of my car is recognized by my phone as an "headphone device" or something like that.
So I would like to find an app which fakes that the phone is receiving a call or that I'm calling someone so that I can listen to my music using BT.
Obviously, all that app such as call faker don't do the trick because they are just a sort of skin which is absolutely not faking a call the way I mean it.
Do you know that kind of app or any method to do so ?
Thanks,
KennyG9
i know what you mean, but there is no way that could happen sorry . (no app exist to date as far as i know)
you need what is called a a2dp bluetooth car set. that will let you stream music. (i have one)
other than that i'm afraid your out of luck.
but you could try buying the IO Bluetooth car kit (the one i have)
works well!
Oh, that's a shame .
Anyway, I'm going to take a look a bit more about A2DP, but I guess that I will not have enough motivation to buy one (and continue listening to music with my ooooold CD Player \o/ ).
So thanks for your answer Oly,
If someone else can help me in any other way, I stay tuned on this topic, even if it seems to be difficult.

Perhaps this would be possible if someone writes an app which uses the "phone line" not sure how it is called and how I should describe it in english.
But if you make an app which has a sound output you can tell it the type like navigation, music, call...
I am not sure if that does it, but someone could try?
Perhaps I could write a small app which plays one song to the call channel fit test purposes?
I have no headset or anything similar.

Tasker to the rescue! Just tried the following profile in Tasker, and it worked how you want:
New task: Prank
Call my home number (+ auto dial)
Wait 5 seconds
End call
I then create a tasker widget, and point it to this profile. Now when ever I press this widget, it dials my home number for 5 seconds then hangs up.
Tasker ain't free, or easy to get used to, but it's incredibly powerful. I think it has a trial period. Check it out.

Thanks for answer wnp, but I don't really understand in which way it's supposed to help me, because Tasker is really calling someone and really ending the call. Anyway, I tried it and it didn't worked because when Tasker is launching the call, the BT headphone of the car activates (ok), it rings, and end the call (stopping BT headphone in the car) 5 seconds later. It works exactly as if I had really done it with my hand. Or maybe I didn't understood well what you explained ?
Thanks anyway,

I'm looking for this as well!
Try AutomateIt or Llama. AI has a bluetooth trigger option, eg start an app (music) and it will trigger bluetooth and you can set bluetooth to default connect to a specific source.

Ok I downloaded automateit but how would I set this up with my car stereo Bluetooth? As the same with the OP in the 1st post, I don't have a streaming option, but I can make calls, and it is only while i'm on a call i'm able to play and hear other audio sources such as Pandora, mp3, etc on my phone. How can I fake a call, so that I trigger the Bluetooth to activate with this app?
I'm just sayin!
You can use an app called BTmono in the market for this. It can stream all audio from your device to your car reciever. But the streaming is only in mono because your car's bluetooth works like a mono headset.

Ok I appreciate the help offered but the suggestions is not suitable for the problem. The problem that we're having is that the car audio headset don't have an option to stream audio from a Bluetooth device, but will allow calls thru Bluetooth.....if I have a connected call from my phone to my car audio headset, only then is when I can stream other audio formats from my phone, but once the call is disconnected, then I went be able to. So once again, are there any apps that can fake a call to initiate the Bluetooth as an incoming call so that I can stream audio from my phone??
I'm just sayin!
I also have a Jabra headset and can only stream audio when there is a call. It should be working as same. As I said, BTmono can stream all audio on the connected bluetooth device. Have you tried it first?

Yes I did try btmono, but I didn't see anything within the app that would allow to fake a call. Unless i'm overlooking. Maybe you can instruct how?

[Post found via google]
Sip applications such as sipdroid do change phone state. and SIPDROID is a SOFTWARE-ONLY SOLUTION. we just need a software that would make a dummy call...
I have an app called Call Reminder and when it triggers I know the phone is actually on a call state
I'v personally tried btmono and the other one and both failed for me. [not desire though].
On my windows Mobile phone for this i use an app that routes all audio output to Bluetooth
So I can hear music on my headset
The app is bt audio
Don't know if there is an equal app for Android

BTMono or Fake call
I've been digging the internet for a similar solution and stumbled upon a few pages.
BTmono or any of the myriad of other applications should work from what i read. It simply routes the music audio stream to headset/headphone audio (the one that's used for a call) which is compatible with a mono-bluetooth headset or in your case the non-A2DP car bluetooth. This is essentially what you suggested, by placing a fake call.

The other more interesting option (i like to avoid having an app if the task can be done simply otherwise) is to call the 2 second pause function from the dialer. There's a thread about this over at this other forum. It describes the 2 second pause as a double star **. However i figured in my Nexus 4 the 2 second pause is simply a comma (,).

I haven't tried either as I left my mono-bluetooth at work today. Will try both out tomorrow and post my results. Both seem like plausible solutions.
Btmono seems the only one to have worked.

Steam music over Bluetooth for phone only setups
I've solved this problem but you need two phones. Connect a phone to Bluetooth in your car, use another phone to call you, answer the call and on the other phone press hold. You can now stream music on any of the apps on the Bluetooth phone until you hang up the call. I found this out when someone left me on hold for a period of time. Using Tidal high fidelity the sound is amazing in my 2006 Range Rover
Anyone out there know of an app or some sort of mod that will allow me to change the BT audio settings. For example, I'd like to be able to stop my phone from playing messate tones thru the headset and the device.
I would also like to know if anyone has come up with any mods.

Hello, i am running Android version 2.3.7 on a Samsung Infuse
Due to water damage my phone no longer recognizes when a headset is plugged in or not, and thus always thinks that it is plugged in.
I have found an app that forced the audio to play through the speakers of the phone, but i am unable to find an app that does the opposite which is forcing the audio through the headset.
if it helps, the app that does the opposite of what i need says it does 4 things:
Headset false
A2DP false
SCO false
Speakerphone false
I also realize there are widgets that can accomplish forcing the plug/unplugging of the audio, but i really need a very simple app that forces the audio to headset when opened. (i need the app instead of a widget to use it with tasker and other things, widget is very limiting.)
if it could be done through tasker that would be great too.
Thank you for any and all help!

Hi All,
I have kind of a weird thing going on with my mom's S3. I set her up with Dragon Mobile Assistant so that she can do voice commands through her car's bluetooth speaker.
Everything works great sometimes, but most of the time when the call starts speakerphone is enabled on the phone which seems to be overriding the bluetooth connection. So when the call starts both "speakerphone" and "bluetooth headset" are enabled, but the audio is only coming out of the speakerphone. The bluetooth never loses connection though. If I turn off "bluetooth headset" while in the call, then immediatly re-enable it the audio then comes through bluetooth.
Sometimes though when the call starts speakerphone is disabled and goes through bluetooth just like it's supposed to.
It seems to be nothing more than a random occurrence, but I just can't figure out why. I did make sure it wasn't randomly going into "car mode" and it's not. Also not close to any magnets or anything either. I called my phone 7 times in a row through Dragon. 4 times it had speakerphone enabled, and 3 times it didn't...
It it makes any difference the phone is rooted stock.
Anybody have and ideas why this is happening?
