[Q] Bluetooth issues...

Is anyone else having issues with the bluetooth connectivity with their HTC Inspire? It pairs with my car with no issues. The bluetooth drops in and out. It says bluetooth headset connected... then 1 minute later it says bluetooth headset disconnected... and so on.
The car doesn't recognize that it is gone so the sound stops on the speakers in the car but the phone doesn't switch the source to the phone. I have to switch it manually to get back to my call.
Anyhow, I see a lot of articles on google where people are complaining about this but I have been unable to find any resolution. Has anyone here had this issue and resolved it?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Same is happening with mine. I paired my inspire with the car and it connects. But if I use it no connection or doesn't dial. When I receive a call and disconnect, my car will stop the connection but the phone stays on.
I might be restoring to stock to see if it's just an inspire thing or bug with different ROM's

I am using my phone stock and was thinking about rooting it if it would fix it. I am new to Droid phones so I have not read enough to be comfortable with rooting quite yet...

Have you found any solution to this issue? I've just bought a BT headphone (Plantronics 903+), and as a I put it in my left pocket (where it is supposed to be placed since the headphone antenna in the left side), connection dropping starts and never stop happening. The movement seems to stress the connection quality and it gets really annoying, I can't listen to music without having this chopped streaming all the time.
I thought to post this question here since this is the only post I found about the same issue, but I will put a specific one about Plantronics and Inspire if I can't come out with a solution. I'm really very disappointed now with the headset, the phone or I don't really know which one is the guilty one.
Thanks in advance

it will not work. since after rooting, my phone cannot pair with my Garmin GPS, but it did with the stock rom.

[Q] Music & Voice Dialer Issue

I have this repeating problem with my music while an auxiliary cord is plugged into the headphone jack and I am listening to music in my car, it seems whenever the connection to the headphone jack gets moved or bumped the phone instantly pauses the music or even sometimes switches the song and the Voice Dialer will pop up and wait for a command..I have tried to find settings to turn off the voice dialer or at least configure the way it is turned on.
I have found a couple posts with people complaining of the same problem on other websites, however none of them seemed to have found a solution so I am posting here with hopes of finding a solution!

I have been having the same problem but I can't find a solution either. It also happens when I have regular headphones in.

I am glad someone else is having the same issue, I still have this problem persisting and have tried flashing several roms, I am currently on CM7 and having this issue still. I think that it may be a hardware issue, I may return my phone to Radioshack and see if a new device fixes the problem.

Bluetooth problems

I've been having bluetooth problems with this phone since day 1 & I'm wondering if it's just my phone or if anyone else is having the same experience. No matter what rom or headset I use, I get a craptastic connection. I don't have any problems pairing devices, but I can't get 10 feet away from the phone without it disconnecting and I can't even turn my head without the audio cutting out. It also randomly disconnects for no reason & sometimes won't reconnect until I reboot. This has happened with every rom I've tried & every headset too. I've bought & returned multiple headsets thinking it was just my Blueant, but it happens with every one.
Could I have a faulty unit or does the bluetooth on this phone really suck this bad? I listen to podcasts & music all day long at work so I need to have a decent connection. Opinions needed please.

I think it may be a bad phone.
I have and used the following bluetooth devices:
Plantronics 590A
Jawbone Icon and Era
BlueAnt S4 which I use in the car. And auto connects before I sit down to drive when I have it on.
Sony Ericsson MW600
And Jabra Pro 9470 (office phone setup that connects to my phone via bt)
All connects without a problem. Have you done a titanium backup and perform a factory reset? And after the reset use titanium backup to restore app and data only and leave the system settings alone. You can restore the wifi stuff if you like. From there that's like a fresh install. Hope that works for you.

Yeah I've done many, many wipes & fresh installs & nothing helps. I don't have any problems connecting, I just have problems STAYING connected & listening to audio. It cuts out constantly without me even touching the phone. I've never had such shoddy bluetooth on any other device.
*sigh* Looks like I may be doing an exchange...

Well before leaving the store...if you are going to a brick and mortar to do the exchange, bring the bt headset with you and try it out there and try to replicate the problem with a new phone.
I do not have range problems but I don't usually have my phone more than 5 ft way from me when talking on it via bt.

I have a replacement on the way for bluetooth problems,people complained of a horrid background noise and the range was maybe 8 feet before major static would kick in

My BT sounds like crap! People say it sounds like I'm in a wind tunnel or they can't hear me that well, when they speak to me it cuts in and out.
This is when I connect to my Parrot BT in my truck. I know its not the Parrot system because my HD2 works fine with it.

I have a Dual car stereo & now that I think about it, everyone says they can't hear me even though I installed the mic on the side column & it's no more than a foot from my face at any time. Aargh this is so annoying. Freaking $600 phone & my damn $25 RAZR from Big Lots has better bluetooth.
If I bring it to the store, would they exchange it for me? I ordered it directly from T-Mobile, I didn't get it in a store.

No you will have to call T-Mobile and do a warranty exchange. I have no problems with BT on my phone at all.

a few threads about bluetooth problems

So whats the deal? Has anyone been able to fix the BT problems with this phone yet?
Can we flash a different BT.apk file or something?
Somebody by now should have some answers I would think.
My parrot system in my truck suck ass with this phone. Always cutting in and out.
Streaming audio is fine its the talking to people I'm have problems with.

I use this with my blueant s4 without an issue and experience no cutting in and out. However, I have been running MIUI and now running sense-o-maniac 3.5 and I have no issues.

horrid bluetooth sound quality
it seems a lot of people have been having issues with the bluetooth sound quality. i have mine paired with a motorola HF850 car kit, which has bluetooth v1.1, or something like that. i wonder if the problem is with backward compatibility, as people seem not to have as many issues with newer devices. would flashing a different radio potentiall help this problem? is it possible to downgrade the bluetooth version with a custom ROM? any other thoughts on ways to address this issue?

[Q] Skyrocket mic issue? or software?

Hi,
I was very excited to get my Skyrocket, but after a day of using it, people I called to reported that there's a weird problem with the call audio quality. For a few seconds my voice seems to be muted out, like speaking very distant. This has gone on for many calls at different locations.
Frustrated, I sent the first one back and got another one. It came today and I was very excited. I tried it and there was no problem. Then a couple of hours later, the same problem came on.
This is really weird. I don't think it's a hardware problem since it has happened on both phones, the second of which is brand new. Makes me wonder if it's a software problem. But this did not happen on my HTC Inspire which had the same set of apps as the Skyrocket.
Does anybody encounter the same problem? Know any tests/ fix for the issue? Or even heard of something similar?

Do you have a case on your phone? If so, perhaps it's covering the mic???

Disable the setting that is mic noise cancellation, that's what is causing it.

I am having the same issue where my voice seems fading/distant according to anyone I talk to. I exchanged it once and still have the same problem. I don't really know the problem so I just use BT headset for calls.

Hmmm... my phone was doing the same thing, turned off noise cancellation, fixed.
Sent from my Rocket that is in the Sky!

I have had the identical problem as the original poster. I received my Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket on January 18, 2012. Starting immediately, during phone calls, the other party would tell me that my voice cut out, sounded distant and tinny for a few seconds at a time. When using a bluetooth headset, the problem never occurs, so I ruled out the mobile network as the cause of the problem. I do not have a case for my phone, so that is not the cause of the problem.
I exchanged the phone for a brand new Skyrocket, which I received on February 3, 2012. Same problem with the new phone. I am nearly sure the problem is with the noise cancellation hardware/software. It seems to get worse if I hold the phone touching my ear (the noise cancellation microphone is on the top edge, near where the phone will touch the ear).
Besides this defect, I like the phone a lot. Now I must decide whether to use the phone with noise cancellation turned off, or give up on Skyrocket, return the phone, and choose another Android phone.
Are all Skyrocket owners using their phones with noise cancellation turned off? This is a very serious defect.

No problem on mine.... with or without noise cancellation... in spite of what you said, it does sound like a network issue... do you notice this everywhere, or just in some locations?

It has occurred in many different locations.
In the course single phone call, I can experience the problem using the handset, then switch to a headset and the problem stops, and then go back to the handset and the problem picks up again. I am going to start using the handset with noise cancellation turned off, and I'll report back on how that works.

My observations:
No issues when using bluetooth headset or loudspeaker.
I experience the problem when using the wired headset, and handset with or without noise cancellation.
I probably have a defective phone but did not bother to exchange it again. I use bluetooth headset all the time.

Had the same problem as you. I got a SIM replacement and turned off noise cancellation.

Mic Issue Continues
After looking into reviews of this phone, and subsequently buying one in June, I can't believe I missed this issue. Alas, over the past few months, most recipients of my calls as well as callers to me cannot hear me unless I'm speaking loudly into the phone. To make matters worse, I can't simply tilt the phone to my mouth and back to my ear because the motion sensor will activate the screen and my cheek will touch the "end call" button. I have already turned off noise suppression and still, it's a problem. I have already "talked loudly" and then normally, and still, no dice. I have also switched to speakerphone, then back to normal and still, no dice. This is painful. It makes the "phone" useless. (I have not tried switching to Sky ICS.)
Has anyone found a solution to this design flaw besides a headset? Will adjusting the mic gain work? If so, what code do I need to adjust the mic gain?
Rooted Skyrocket. AOKP Milestone 6

My wife is having this exact same problem on her Skyrocket too.
She was on the official ICS from ATT and then I tried CM9 and nothing seems to make any difference.
Anyone found any more info?
You think it's worth exchanging the phone or just a bad design in the hardware?

I hear installing the Sky ICS ROM may solve the problem. If that is the case, then it is not a hardware design flaw but possibly noise suppression run amok (regardless of whether the option is unchecked). That would seem to be consistent given the mic location has not changed in the Galaxy line of phones. Further, speakerphone works flawlessly.
If Sky ICS works or if I find a "mic gain" solution, I will report back.

guys try rooting ur skyrocket and flashing a new kernel

huge problem with audio output

hi guys i've tried to search the forum but haven't found anything...
since yesterday my phone has started to reproduce audio/sounds in a strange way; they are metallic/scratched like. the problem is for system sounds and for anything reproduced (youtube/spotify/...)
when I make phone calls i can hear correctly.
anyone has ever heard about this kind of problem?
the phone is fully stock and has been bought in august...
thanks for helping

Do you solve it?
I have the same problem, sometimes the audio sound scratched, in little parts ,unintelligible sometimes I solve with the putting 3/4 times the audio jack usbC sometimes restarting, and sometimes repair by it self. I don't understand how this happen and how to solve it. Restarting /formating resolve partially, and the problem appear again.

Hi,
I faced similar issue too. But as a different an addition, my phone has same noise on voice calls too. The noise on phone calls disappear when I used earphone instead ear speaker.
The metalic noise is starts when I touch an icon on the screen in order to start an application. It's vanish when the application starts properly.
Is there anyone faced this issue too?

in my case not work headphones. After i change Miui and install Kali linux and back my headphones dosnt work with any headphones.

Finally I noticed by accident (in my case) the problem solve when I push not so hard the upper left corner, and this solution fix instantly the audio issue, and last many months until I put the smartphone in stretchy jeans pockets. That mean maybe it’s bending and moving inside parts or maybe the previous user of my phone dropped (cause i buyed used) or I dropped (I don’t remember phone hard drops) . In this time I don’t want spent money fixing this, so I still using fixing in this way. I love this phone

I have exactly the same problem. I already tried to out a replacement speaker in the Mi Mix 2s but that didn't solve the issue. The problem comes from another component. Have you figured out which component this causes?
My root cause is also unknown but might be that the phone dropped.

What I tried so far.
1. Set phone to factory settings
2. Installed different ROM (Lineage OS 17.1)
3. Replacement speaker.
None of this helped. What I'm wondering is, that everything else works fine. Only sound output is distorted.
Can you help me with that?

can some one help me with a xiaomi mix 2s audio problem audio doesnt work and even with bluetooth devices im not sure if its a software problem
or a hardware
