I made a video of the problem, here is the link:

I have the ibolt xpro car dock running moar 18 rom 4.1.2, did a clean wipe when installed. When i get a call in the car and answer the phone with the answer key on the steering wheel or on the phone itself, the call comes through the earpiece of the phone. At that time the "headset" button shows as if im using bluetooth when its not sending it out through the speakers. Even my display screen shows the elapsed time of the phone call. I then have to turn off the headset button and then hit it again and after that i can hear the other person on my speakers in the car. I had a bluetooth headset that also had this problem and i was told to do a clean install and not to use tibu and restore system apps, that fixed the headset problem but not the car problem. Anybody have a clue on how to fix this?

I'm using the included headset (stereo hands-free) on my imate and having the following odd thing happening:
While on a call, initially the headset works fine, with the microphone on the device deactivated and the microphone on the inline headset picking up my voice. Then I hear a click and suddenly the microphone on the headset shuts off, and the device's microphone starts again. I can remedy this sometimes by removing the plug, placing the call on hold, reinserting the plug, and them resuming the call.
Anyone have any idea what I can do to fix this or have the same issue?
Thanks.
Hi all, I have had my O2 IQ for about a month now and love it to bits - first XDA I have had with a decent radio rom from the box!
my only problem is that when I am in the car, obviously, I cannot pick it up to answer a call and pressing the call button to go to speakerphone is a pain as well as distrating, especially if tomtom is running, as it usually minimizes the program as well
I really don't like headsets, so really need some way to get the phone to automatically answer in speakerphone mode
I thought I would be able to do this in a profile, but cant see any way to do it, is there a program which can allow this?
I don't have any problem with using speakerphone in the car as others seem to, so it would be an ideal solution
I am running the original O2 rom if it makes any difference, not felt the need to mess with it yet!
any help much appreciated
regards
Robert
** BUMP **
Any idea's anyone.
I have the same problem.
Press green button for a while - speakerphone will be turned on
Same problem here, anyway to auto answer in loudspeaker?
@ZlydenGL - we don't have the time to press the answer button and then press the loudspeaker button when driving, dangerous
This probably isn't quite what you're looking for, but can't you plug in a wired headset into your phone when you're in the car?
My dad had something like that, with the microphone mounted above the steering wheel...

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I would prefer more freedom
Just recently bought a Bluetooth Headset for my Motorcycle Helmet, I'm on ICS right now, SCV7. The problem I'm finding is that no matter which voice commands app I use (Vlingo, utter, Skyvi, Voice Search) I can't seem to get it to use the headset's mic to listen to me!
But whenever I take a call the microphone works just fine. When I go into the headset's bluetooth settings it is connected as both phone and media. I've tried both by themselves but didn't get a change. Phone calls work and music plays, but voice commands just don't.
Anyone have similar issues? Any ideas?
Would this be a hardware issue with the headset? Hardware with the phone? Or Software?
On a side note: Noticed that music effects have been really buggy with the headset.. MusicFX and DSPManager go crazy, make it sound worse than without them, like the speaker is about to explode from all the static. (Tried all Loudness levels, switching songs, and tried all equalizer settings but I can't pin it down, sometimes it'll be exploding ear-screeching sounds but when I open DSPManager it's as if it finally clicks and makes the equalizer work again.. goes away next song)
So I got a new car (2016 "facelift" Kia Ceed 4 Tech)... and whilst OK Google Hotword detection over bluetooth sort of works, the
state of the dialler appears quite broken... and I was hoping if anyone could help.
Nexus 5 running Marshmallow paired to the car with Phone & Media Audio selected.. Google Voice Typing settings set to record audio through headset if available.
1) With screen on, say "Ok Google" wait for phone to respond with the first and then second beeps (I guess the second beep is to
signify the phone is then listening over bluetooth)
2) Say "Call xxxxxx mobile/home" etc.
3) Phone responds and starts dialling. Call is answered and the car Infotainment screen gives a prompt to change to "hands free mode", requiring a manual button press..
Not exactly "hands free behaviour".. Not compared to when I pair my wife's Galaxy Note 4, do exactly the same steps and everything goes through seamlessly with
the car automatically going to bluetooth handsfree without requiring me to press the button on the infotainment screen.
Now if you look at the dialler screen on the Nexus 5 whilst the call is going through, you can see the dropdown to manually choose between "Headset" "Speakerphone" "Bluetooth"
and the "Bluetooth" one is indeed selected but clearly the phone and car aren't handshaking to tell the car to automatically default to handsfree. At this point, you can re-select the bluetooth
option but it doesn't do anything, and the car is still waiting for manual confirmation.
More weirdness is, if you start a voice call with OK Google but actually press the phone button to action the call, then it all works fine...
Both Marshmallow and the car are new, so I'm not hopeful that anyone has an answer but given the Note 4 works perfectly, I'm keeping my fingers crossed..
Looks like a known problem since lollipop for nexus and some other phones.. not fixed in marshmallow either.. not sure what to do..LLC.. wait and see I guess

I cannot seem to figure this out. When I pair my bluetooth either to speakers, car, samsung buds if the "call" option is on under bluetooth settings the volume of the song drops in half and the bass is completely gone. To me it sounds like it's sending anything I play through a call channel? If that's a thing. The second I turn off the call option the full volume comes and bass comes back. Turning off call is not a solution as my car and galaxy wear app says my bluetooth is not connected without the call option on (which means the controls of my buds don't work). Does anyone else have this problem or have a solution?
