Workaround for headphones?

I know it is an issue that the earbuds work for listening to music. Anyone know of a workaround for them to work for phone calls? Worked just fine on my fascinate.

Sure
I can use the headphones to listen to music no problem at all. However I cannot use them at all for talking on the phone. The caller cannot hear me at all (yes I checked and they are not on mute) Ive tried 3 different pairs of headphones too.

phone calls sound fine on mine, hear it through the headphones and speak into the mic on the phone like its speakerphone.. to do it all directly through the headphones is possible you just need the proper ones

hmmm ok cool thanks

Are you rooted? I think the stock rom has issues as you described, but any other rom should work fine.

...do your headphones have a mic?

Yep rooted and yea the headphones have a mic, they are my old bb storm earbuds. Weird, worked fine on my fascinate.

HTC Stereo Clip PROBLEM

Just got this accessory from HTC and it doesn't work on stock rom but works flawlessly on CM10. For those that don't know what this is, its a Bluetooth dongle that transmit your music wirelessly to your factory radio in your vehicle.
I followed the instructions to the T. Can't get it to work on stock and Axiom rom. The crazy thing is A2DP works with my bluetooth ear piece and transmit music fine just not the dongle. So i narrowed it down to something to do with a sound file on stock/Sense that is missing or not working properly.
Does anyone else have this accessory and problem?

Decided to try again today with different methods in connecting my phone to the dongle. Still no go. Below i have attached a logcat rather long, but that how it is haha. So if anyone would like to look at it and try and help, it would be highly appreciated.

Nope. I can't get this clip to work with my stock One S. I swear it has something to do with Sense. Just tried my Acer tablet and it works fine. So far anything stock aosp will work.

I bought the HTC Stereo Clip off ebay and it works for me. I specifically bought it for the aptx feature. The retail packaging was a bit beat up but the actual stereo clip was mint. I'm on stock tmo rom. I did not root and flash a custom rom since I do not know if there is something only found in the stock rom that enables the aptx feature. But then again there's no way to tell if the aptx is actually working but it sounds great.

I didn't get the StereoClip, but I got the Samsung HS3000 dongle which also supports aptX (and is about half the price). I did notice that the higher quality aptX codec didn't seem to work in non-Sense roms, and only seemed to work in Sense (running Virtuous Ville+ here).
Without aptX there's some definite high frequency filtering and dynamics compression going on. With aptX it's like I've got an audio cable plugged right into the headphone jack, it's fantastic.
This is the feature that's keeping me on Sense. As soon as AOSP/AOKP's got it I'll switch back, but for now I'm quite happy with this.

Battery/Bluetooth/headphones nexus 5

Has anyone else had the same problems I've been having? The battery life Is horrible. The Bluetooth never stays connected and when I get frustrated with the Bluetooth I try it use a set of in ear headphones with mic but that only works when it wants to. I've about had it I bought a moto x to try before I completely give up on the nexus. And I really don't want to have to go back to the iPhone 5 but I NEVER had any problems out of the iPhone. Thank guys and girls

What Rom do you have? And maybe it's hardware becouse headphones maybe have built in Mic ,but first check other opinions

[Q]Bluetooth popping/clicking

I want to love this phone but I am having difficulty for one reason: Bluetooth issues.
So I have a Note 3, my wife has an S4, a friend has an S5. 2 I know have the M8. I loved the Note 3 but Kit Kat has killed it until I can root it at least.
Anyway, all of these phones work flawlessly streaming bluetooth music to my car EXCEPT the M8. I had a Rezound for 5 minutes and it had the same issue. It is just this annoying clicking sound that is similar but worse than the stock camera click.It happens about every 10 seconds on the dot. I drive a 2011 Kia Optima LX (daddy car, ha). I know it isn't boom sound because that isn't enabled over bluetooth. I tried playing with max volume, low volume, mid volume. I tried a 3rd party equalizer. I tried streaming music, youtube videos/music, local files...all the same clicking. ALL HTC phones I have tried have the same issue! I I have no idea what to try. I also tried turning NFC off...wifi off. Driving out into the middle of nowhere to make sure there is no interference. This does not happen through the speakers or headphones. Only Bluetooth. I am at wits end!
I really would hate to return this over that issue, but I will. I want to love it - but something like this is annoying enough to make me hate it. Does anyone have any ideas as to what I cold do to fix this?
Thanks for any information.

I have the same problem with Pandora over Bluetooth in a Chevy Equinox and on my Beats Box portable. This did Not happen with my HTC Rezound. Does anyone have a fix for this ? Just makes me want to explode !

Last night I tested the Jaybird Bluebuds X and they have the same issue.
Another good question would be: If you have experienced this and rooted - did root fix it?

Hmm weird I have the same jaybirds and no problem here

Hmm. Well that's interesting. Maybe I just got a dud this round. Do you happen to have a car bluetooth that streams media?

FWIW I have horrendous issues with the HTC m8 and the A2DP BT Audio Streaming in my car where in the past my S3 and S4 had 0 issues what so ever.
In some cases it won't pair consistently and other times even when it is paired, I can't control the app to play/advance tracks. I hope/expect HTC is aware of this and is working on a resolution.

I am stock currently. Are you rooted? Maybe I just need to go ahead with that plan! If so, which kernel are you using?

Last question, have you tried using google play music at the highest quality setting? After further research - I believe this is directly related to the known issue with FLAC files. HQ Play Music will stream FLAC depending on the artist. I would be interested as to if you have tried that at all and if it exists on viper rom.
I was able to repro the issue on multiple devices and that enabled me to narrow the device itself out. That's kind of good/bad news, haha. Google has a fix but it did not make the cut for 4.4.2 - so I am curious as to if some of the leaked stuff has the fix or not. Trial and error will likely be the only way to know. http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/0...nd-stuttering-on-android-4-4-a-fix-is-coming/ describes the issue to a T.
