Hi All,
Has anyone experienced this:
Talking on the phone using a bluetooth hands free (Moto H500) and any kind of notification comes in (new txt msg, new voicemail, low battery, etc) the call switches from the headset to the handset. I only had this happen in the WM6 ROMS, but it has been in all the ROMS i have tried. Maybe there's a fix i missed somewhere, maybe it only happens to me... Any thoughs or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
Ya, I have the same issue with the WM6 ROMS.
I think I solved it though. You have to set Voice Command to only announce notifications though the device speaker. That seems to have solved the (annoying) issue for me.
Thanks for the info GadgetGuy, I'll give that a try... I just prefer that the people around me not know I just got a new message or my battery is low... If I find anymore on that I'll post again.
Sorry for posting here but it seems that experts spend their time here.
I have an '05 Acura TL. The phone will not initiate a call over the hands free if I dial from the phone. I have to dial the number, wait for the person to pick up, press the HF button on my steering wheel and say "Transfer". Then I can talk over the Bluetooth connection and speakers. There is no problem with incoming calls, only outgoing. I previously had a Samsung phone and this problem did not occur with that phone.
I am currently on new AT&T WM 6.1 ROM and had the same problem with the 6.0 ROM. I was hoping 6.1 would solve the problem but no luck.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
I have tried different radios.
Thanks in advance.

The problem was not that all the "smart people" hang out here, but rather that you have a very specific issue with a specific piece of hardware, and as such it is unlikely that there are many people who can answer your questions. Most "smart people" here also read the General Forum too.
Well...
...I'm not that smart but for as I ever had BT issues, and I can assure you, I've have plenty with my carkit, only one soft was able to fix all that for me and that was Jetware (http://www.jetwaremobile.com/) was able to solve it... Now it works like a charm,
the soft isn't free but you can download a trial first...
My Charge constantly disconnects the bluetooth connection from my car. The phone and Sync system pair just fine, but after about 2 minutes the bluetooth connection is dropped.
I have tried unchecking the Media sharing in bluetooth options and that doesn't seem to help. I have deleted and re-paired the phone, updated the Sync software but no matter what the phone won't stay connected. This is very frustrating as I do a ton of driving...
Anybody have any suggestions?
I have the same issues with the Charge and and Bluetooth module in my Volkswagen. The only thing that seems to correct the issue is to restart the phone. Unfortunately this only seems to resolve the issue until the next time the phone connects.
Disconnecting Ford SYNC
I am having the same issue. I was planning to update my sync soft ware but as posted that may not help. The only other thing to x do is to flash a new radio update on the phone. Ironically my motorola T505 BT HANDS FREE SPEAKER stays connected 100%.
Hi guys.
I have done a lot of research on this issue. It also occurs to me with my BMW iDrive. The problem is when the phone attempts to download the address book from your phone, it then disconnects... Mine connects then after 2 mins also disconnects when loading the address book. We need to get samsung to realize its not our cars but instead their stupid bluetooth!!!! I've tried and tried to contact them with to no availl. its really frustrating
Its the phonebook when it asks to download phonebook select no this is a known issue apparently. My 2011 Ford fusion is like this. The problem affects most android phones and ios 4. After you do a clean pair without downloading the phonebook it will work flawless and you will love life again.
Similar Problem with Sync
From the what's worth department, I had a similar problem with my Ford Sync. It seems there is an issue with Ford's Sync. The service manager personally worked on the resolution and accidental figured it out.
He removed the battery cable and basically "reset" the Ford's sync cpu. Bingo, Bango, Bingo. Fixed.
My recommendation is to find the fuse for that curcuit, remove it for about 30 seconds and then reinstall.
Fixed my issue.
Bad part, I've had to redo that a couple of times in the last 9 months.
Possible fix try it out
Just jumping back on this thread hope this helps all that are having problems I have cleaned up my phones contacts and my Droid Charge and Ford Sync are playing nice with each other, hope this marriage will last.

Peace!!!
Ha, well I'm glad I'm not the only one with the problem. I'm having the same issue with my Kia. I'll look at my contacts, but I don't have very many so I don't see how it could have dups.
Not downloading the phonebook is not an acceptable answer to me. Kind of cripples the sync capability...

Did you try the reset via the battery disconnect?
Had the same issues.
I removed all of the duplicate contacts from the phone, unpaired and repaired the bluetooth, and removed the phonebook from SYNC...but it still disconnected....the only thing I havent tried is pulling fuse 29 (which is the fuse to reset the sync system...no need to remove the battery cable)....do you really think resetting the system and then repairing will fix the issue?
My Charge pairs and works with my car just fine.
Adding phonebook contacts is impossible- it just hangs there, request for phonebook transfer never pops up on the phone, car sync disconnects the paired phone and nothing else happens, until I cancel out and reconnect the phone, then it works if I dont ask it to transfer contacts...
I ended up manually adding a few fast dials.
I know it is not a problem with car sync- I successfully paired and transfered contacts on that same car from Nexus S, Atrix and iPhone.
Of course my "smart" car wants to keep separate phonebook for each phone....or I'd be all set. Would really appreciate some advice.

I will add my name to the list of Kia Owners having issues as well.
I tried this last night, but it still needs more testing as I only felt like sitting in my car for 15 minutes.
Its possible, for Kias at least, that having contacts that don't have phone #s might be throwing the BT system off. I unchecked the option on my contacts list that allowed contacts with just email addresses to be shown and the BT seemed to stay connected.
Anyone else have this option currently checked?
Please read
I'm in contact with an software engineer at Samsung regarding the bluetooth problem. I missed his call, but in his voicemail he explained that this problem is with the car instead of the phone. This is nonsense as the problem remains across multiple car manufacturers with totally different bluetooth equipment.
If you are having a bluetooth problem, please check the main general forum where I will have a post that you can post your car manufacturer and phone model. I will provide this to the engineer so they can work on a eventual fix for our bluetooth problems.
Thanks

Hey agold, do you have the link to the forum post in general to post problems? I cannot find it anywhere! Thanks!
What you can do is go to the market and downlad an app called bluetooth fix.......This helped me...But you have to be rooted to use this app. I have a JEEP that uses U-CONNECT

Hello, i need some serious help over here
What's the problem:
I own a galaxy 3 since June, a week ago i started noticing the internal mic wasn't working on some incoming calls.
Details:
First of all the problem began for no apparent reason (the phone works fine otherwise and no major updates / new apps were installed)
This started happening on the official froyo ROM which was an excuse for me to flash the Kyrillos 9.4 ROM (wiped all data / formatted sd card in the process). The problem still occurs on Kyrillos 9.4 ROM suggesting that this is not a ROM issue
I thought it was a hardware issue but the caller can hear me perfectly if i connect the headset or use the speaker Also the internal mic works fine on some incoming calls and ALL outgoing ones!
Upon further investigation i came upon 2 threads on other forums (unfortunately i can't post the urls as i am a new user, if needed pm me or search google for "Microphone not working on incoming calls") which point out that the same problem incurs on HTCs and XPERIAs. Also it happens on replacement phones (original unit shipped back after this problem), on different providers, on official and custom ROMs, on clean phones (only the stock apps installed).
This seems to happen when the phone is idle for a set period of time (unconfirmed). Fast Reboot app / manual reboot / removing battery don't fix this, however making an outgoing call seems to enable the internal mic temporarily (even if the outgoing call never connects)
When this happens apart from the mic not working on incoming calls it becomes also unresponsive for other apps (Tape-a-Talk, Skype, Soundhound etc.)
Conclusion:
It seems to me that there is bug in froyo that keeps the incoming call code from activating the microphone or perhaps there is a conflict of sorts that keeps the microphone blocked. It is highly unprobable i think that the microphone would randomly start to fail on different android phones in the exact same way, so this shouldn't be a hardware issue.
Question:
Does anyone know/guess or can produce a possible solution for this? If not, could you please suggest further testing steps to help reproduce 100% this problem in an attempt to solve it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is a pain in the neck for me (and others i guess?!)
PS: Excuse the thread form, i 'm really bored of writing / reading long posts
PS 2: This is my first post, hello xda community!

I have the same problem. I flashed the phone from android 2.1 TO cyanogen 2.3 and from it TO ice cream. I had this problem even to cyanogen and only in incoming call,never in other situation.
Googling I found same information but no solution. Anyone here knows something?
Anyway I found a stupid solution....try switching to 2g( I know that it's not a solution but...). It works for me!
that's ridiculous! how can network state have anything to do with the microphone of the device? can this be related to service providers maybe a more techish member could tell us.
anyway i am on 2g already as i don't have a usim card and this happens even if data network mode is deactivated. glad you found a way out but is it really a solution? i mean you have to ditch 3g for the phone to be actually a phone...
Since we seem to be the only ones among so many to be having this problem i am seriously thinking of taking back the phone for a replacement and hope for the best...
just an update, i lost functionallity of the microphone completely earlier today. That is with outgoing / incoming calls and any app i can think of, so i thought i 'd try changing the network data setting to 3g only since i was already on 2g...
WOW!!! that had an instant effect,it works seamlessly now,didn't even have to reboot.fingers crossed it will last.
that is one nasty and very strange bug. Please any of the developers could you take a closer look at this?
much appreciated

I have a 2013 Honda Accord which has an infotainment system that supports MAP. My phone asks if it wants to give it access, I said yes to all double checked in the settings that all are checked but it still doesn't do anything when someone texts me. It is supposed to Auto Read them and I made sure that setting is on on my car as well. This system should be the same as some Acuras as well.
Some additional info: When I choose select account it says this phone doesn't support this feature.
Same problem here with an aftermarket BT deck.
Has anyone got MAP to work with anything?
Works fine with 2012 BMW
MAP is flawless on my 2012 BMW iDrive system.

Did you do anything special? Or does it just work after connecting it to Bluetooth. I fear this is a Honda issue but that doesn't make much sense since it does support some Android phones that probably had MAP before and the iPhone.
I received a similar prompt asking about the car accessing my calls and another about messages. Accepted both and it just works.
MAP was added to CM 10.2 awhile ago, and it worked the same on my LG Optimus G (basically a Nexus 4).

Doesn't seem to work on my e90 my10 Idrive. It used to work with sense ROM but not with cm 10.2 on my HTC one x

Anyone have any luck getting this to work? I get an envelope icon on my iMid screen, but an error message stating "the connected phone does not support this feature" when it attempt to read out the message. I have a 2014 Accord EX-L.
I'm in the same boat as OP. I've got a 2013 Honda Civic Si and a Nexus 5, and they don't work well together.
From my research on this, I believe this to be a flaw within the Hangouts app, and not a communication problem between the phone and the head unit. After playing around with it for a while (deleting the pairing profiles, repairing the two devices, clearing the system in my car, etc.), I noticed a few things that lead me to this conclusion. After a few connection attempts, the car only successfully read me one message. Afterwards, the text message functionality on my i-MID was selectable, but clicking the enter button wouldn't do anything. Checking my phone, Hangouts was also frozen. The phone was telling me (via ringtone and notification popups) that I was receiving texts, but I couldn't read them until I disabled BT and force closed Hangouts.
Is this a common problem that we are all experiencing? Can any of you confirm or deny these ideas? Also, which messaging app is everyone using (I don't want recommendations, I want to know if this is Hangouts' fault or not)?
Got a 2014 accord same problem. My fix was stopping hangout.. Works fine now I have a nexus 4 running 4.4.4
I think the Honda only uses Sms only and hangout tries to convert it

So did you end up having to use a different SMS app, then? If so, which one worked for you?
I used the stock Sms app that came with the phone. My problem was I saw the text come thru on my accord , but was unable to hear or see the message.... Same problem with my old texts also. I do not use hangout so disabling was not a problem

Ah, well, that's a bit different that the problem I've currently found myself in. For me, the text messaging functionality is permanently disabled in my i-mid display. I'll give getting rid of hangouts a try, though!

I can confirm that my car's Nav system is able to notify me and then read SMS messages from my hangounts app on my N5 without any issues (Toyota). I can also send SMS messags from the car (thru' N5). Works fine, everytime. So, I don't think it is a hangouts issue.

I'm struggling with my Toyota... I have the Non jbl system with Nav. When I click on Bluetooth settings it doesn't give me MAP as an option to check (even tho I granted access to view messages) but I unpaired and repaired a few times and it did give me the map option and it still wouldn't receive my msgs

The message access option should have been there every single time (unlike what you described). I'd suggest deleting the pairing from the phone and the car, and to try again. If the problem persists, try to pair it to another car (Toyota or not) and see if it works with that. If it does, that means it is an issue with your car's system. If it doesn't (and the other car can pair to other phone's with message access properly), it may be an issue with your phone.

Went and messed with my dad's avalon and it worked no problems with his on the first attempt (MAP was there and it asked and was granted access). Going to try to repair one more time with my car before I take it to Toyota.

Kinda glad to hear that it is working ok with another car - but at the same time, I'm not sure how helpful the dealership will be (assuming the problem d1oesn't get resolved by re-pairing) - automotive firmware is basically written in stone - very hard to get them to fix it. They usually keep blaming the phone. Good luck.

I assume you told them that it works with the Avalon - and they stuck with "it is your phone"... UGH! Funny how it works fine with one car, and not with another (even though both cars are made by same manufacturer). Yes, it must be using a different BT stack/hardware/software, but why not use the same one across the board? sheeeeeeeesh
