[Q] Changing loudness when calling on Nexus 5 - speaker problem? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I will ask here the same as on Google forum ...
Some of users have problems with speaker. If I listen to music, it is ok for me (I don't listen it very often). So it looks, that from hardware aspect speaker works fine.
But when I talking (have a call/conversation), I noticed that I sometimes I can't hear people on the other side. Be more specifically - for a second two, the loudness drops a lot and then come back.
What is that? Software problem? Can installing a new kernel (when it comes) helps?
Regards

SE HBH-DS970 BT Headphones / Vario 2 Issues ??

Hi all....
I have had the above stereo BT headphones for about 1 month which I use with my Vario 2 and I have to say the sound quality is awesome.
My questions are (to anybody who has this combination or similar):-
- Why when you answer a call and then finish the call (through the headphones) does it sometimes resume the music through the loudspeaker on the phone rather than the headphones ? I find its really inconsistent...sometimes back through the headphones and other times through the Vario's loudspeaker ????
- Also when I go to answer a call (that is ringing through my headphones) the voice comes through on the Vario rather than my headphones ??? Again...seems to be inconsistent and I'm sure I'm not doing anything differently??
- Is anybody else experiencing similar problems with this combination
It seems that the above problems I'm experiencing might have the same root cause and I need to know if I'm doing something wrong or whether its a 'compatibility' issue between the two. I don't have this problem with the Samsung X830 I use with the DS-970's .
I'd be so grateful for any clarification on these issues....
Thanks all

Clicking noise when listening music over bluetooth

When I listen to music with my Desire S over bluetooth there is a clicking noise in an unsteady interval. I already tested my headset with a HTC Hero and a Dell Notebook Latidude E6410 and it works perfectly.
That is the reason I guess it is a problem with the phone. So I contacted HTC. They recommend to do a factory reset.
What do you think? Is there even a little chance this really works?
As I don't have/know an app to backup my application data (except Titanium Backup, which needs root, which I don't have) I'm hesitating to do a reset of my phone.
Thanks for your help
Same here. I have disconnection of 1-2 sec every once in a while when listning to music with my bluetooth helmet.
Worked great before with my HD2.
Same problem here - on Incredible S, brief click/blip every 30s or so. Logged this with HTC and got the standard reply. Anyway I did try a reset and did not install any apps, still the same problem. Have been watching this forum for similar issues, as the IS does not yet have Gingerbread, I was hoping this might fix it
Do you have the problem listening/watching to video? Aside from a slight delay/sync issue, I have no problem with video, only music playback. Have tried several music players, bluetooth 'fix' apps, you name it.
Had no problem on previous Desire HD, and no current problems with my laptop. Has to be an HTC software bug? Or poor HTC hardware? It's real annoying
yes as you may have noticed, when using a Bluetooth the quality is not the best. I think it has some reason to do with the way those gronks at HTC has programmed the software, as you already know the issue with WiFi.
I have quality issues as well when using a bluetooth headset, but its mainly that the sound warps - even when only moving away a meter from the handset (even though its supposed to be a ten meter radius) Grrrrrr. I would say to try out a different player, probably one that has a bigger audio buffer. try playerpro trial and see how you guys go with that.
Here's to hoping that on of the devs has fixed this bug as htc think that have done a marvelous job on the products they are offering, i could slap them!

i can't confirm that. i've been using A2DP with a few different devices, and my observation has always been, that with every device the quality improves dramatically when the device-volume is fully turned up, and then regulated down again at the device used for listening to the music. so for exaple: medaia-volume at desire s full, device-volume at car-radio as desired.
used that way, listening to music via A2DP never sounded bad to me, no matter which device i have used...
i can't confirm the other reports, i do however get a constant noise in the background when using a bluetooth headset. i guess it's best described as white noise, though i'm not sure if that is what it is. back when i had the desire with an aosp rom it worked just fine, so i am guessing htc added their own bluetooth stack along with sense...
@Ep1cF4il
have you tried, as i mentioned, raising the media-volume to the max and regulating the volume at the listening-device? following that procedure the noise i had with low volume disappears.

Has anyone else had sound quality issues with Bluetooth telephony?

Hi everyone,
I have been experiencing what I would describe as an "audio glitch problem" when using my Nexus 5 paired with my 2011 Toyota Prius.
Streaming audio via the A2DP profile works great -- sound quality is excellent, no problems have been detected.
Unfortunately telephony is problematic. This happens on 100% of phone calls and only when I am paired to my Prius. It sounds like a buffer management problem, it's as though the person I am talking to "skips a beat". It could be that a buffer gets repeated twice. Whatever is happening is very annoying, it makes carrying on a conversation very difficult.
I made a post in Google's forums and one other person reported a similar problem.

Thanks!

Troubles with bluetooth speaker

Hi
I have a bluetooth speaker wich I can not make it the sound arrive. My Mi4 is running LineageOs (7.1.2), it connects successfully to the speaker, but the sound does not play...
The icon of the bluetooth is different from the "normal" one and when I see the notifications space, appears the player (in this case Spotify) as it was casting to the player, but again, no sound. When I disconnect the bluetooth, the speaker makes a sound (blink), telling that it's disconnected.
I have read about this problem elsewere, so I think it's not just me who have it.
Any ideas or help would be very appreciated.
Kind regards.
Hi.
After some time, I found out that this is a common problem in custom roms based on aosp android. It's widelly commented in the lineage forums. No solution right now.
Just for all you to know.
Regards.

Headset mic adjustment app or Magisk module for Xiaomi phone (and not only)

If you put a search string "problem mic headphones" in XDA forums, you'll get tens if not hundreds of threads which start at least in 2015 and consider Xiaomi as well as Samsung, OnePlus, sometimes Moto phones - both on vendor and custom OS. Most of the threads are created in model specific subforums and most of them are left unanswered, even though the issues repeat from time to time, from one manufacturer to another. If I catch it correctly, Xiaomi (Redmi, Mi) is the champion in this field. But problems persist in other phones too.
One of the biggest issues often reported is that one day (or from the very beginning) when you put headset jack in, your interlocutor hears you badly. Your voice is too weak or ambient noise is too loud in respect to your speech. In many cases a proposed solution is 1) to install Mic Fix module for Magisk (on rooted phones). But it does not always work. 2) To change the headset and 3) to clean the physical jack hole. In many reported cases this does not help neither. So, there is a software switch which does not work.
I entered the club and having this precise issue with my Redmi Note 10 Pro running first on vendor Miui then on CrDroid 8. I changed three different wired headsets, including the one by Xiaomi, with no result. Installed Mic Fix module for Magisk (both latest updates), with no effect.
Manipulating the phone during the call or during a test record (bringing it closer and further to the mouth, putting it into my pocket with headset attached, etc.), I acknowledged that the problem is that the phone takes inbound audio signal from the phone built-in microphone and not from the headset. Both in mobile calls and in various messengers. Meanwhile listening to my interlocutors, as well as music alone is just fine.
Trying to solve the issue I found several great apps and Magisk modules, such as Dolby Atmos and Viper4Android FX equalizers which enhance your listening experience. But I found no clearly designated app or module which lets take control of the microphone when headset is attached. Literally no dedicated app or feature in all-rounder apps lets tweak the mic use. Meanwhile the issue persists during at least 7 years.
Maybe the solution is so evident, and the app/module is so easily and widely used that it's a shame to discuss such a noob topic? Please break the silence and tell which tools you use for tuning or tweaking your mic in the headset.
And if you already faced the same or a similar problem and found the same (zero) software solution for Android, what is the rational reason why such an app or module was not yet made by an expert and creative dev?
By now a solution that I found is to use a bluetooth headset. In this case the mic works well during calls.
But I like using wired headsets (and sound quality of mine wired is better than those on bluetooth). So I am still in search for an app or module to tweak or fix the mic redirection issue.
If someone can help, please be kind to give a hint.
Same here my man, and although my issue is slightly different, it's looking for the same solution, an app to tweak the mic
I'm using a oneplus 3 and my favorite ROM is Resurrection Remix (A10), but, if you use CTIA headsets (mine are earbuds because i don't like in-ear), sometimes the headset gets detected as OMTP and the mic produces a really loud hight pitch noise
So far i haven't found any solution, besides reconnecting the headset several, several times until it gets it right
