[Q] Bluetooth headset not working - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I tried two different bluetooth headsets (one jabra and one cellular line) with my nexus 5, but, with both of them, if I press the headset's button, I hear a voice saying to wait and on the phone's screen appear a gray screen with written "initializing" and nothing happens.
I did some searches, but with no solutions.
Is this happening only to me or someone else is having the same problem and was able to fix it? (my phone is not rooted and with stock rom)

Faulty Bluetooth!!!!!

I have an XDA II with a Logitech Mobile Bluetooth Headset for the last 7 months.
I've just returned one of these headsets as faulty because I kept losing 85% volume in the ear pierce ocassionally when I received an incomming call. I then bought another one and guess what? same problem, so the fault has to be with the XDA phone itself. The problem is I only seem to get this problem with incoming calls, can't remember getting this problem when making a call. When the volume drops I can just about hear the caller but its extremely faint.
The only other Bluetooth device I use is my TomTom navigation unit and although I have had some problems with both devices working together I'm not getting regular problems, just things like the TomTom can't alway connect to the sat box or my headset doesn't always work when the phone rings.
Anyone else had this problem and more importantly the solution???
Thanks
Paul.
I had that problem and I was advised to turn off device, remove battery for 20 secs or so (ensure backup fully charged!!!) and then reinstall battery, reset device (soft) then finally re-install headset ans establish new BT pairing to headset.
fiddly but it did work
good luck
Pete
I did that as advised by Logitech but the problem still occurrs on occassions. Is it a problem with headset or XDA?

Bluetooth headset profile

Guys,
I did search through the forum and I found several users with the following problem but no solution yet.
I use a bluetooth headset a lot (not a stereo, just a regular one!) and when I answer a call, people on the other side can not hear me. I have to go to bluetooth setting and do "Set as handfree" on the device so that it works again.
But it only works for a couple of minutes! The next call that I use my headset I need to do it again.
Is there a solution for this?
PS: My bluetooth headset is a Motorola H700.

I use a Plantronics 510 (or something like that) and I haven't had any problems with WM6 disconnecting from it like you describe. I have went to answer the phone with it a couple of times and it didn't seem to be linked up, but I just press the button on the headset and it links right up and then answers the call on the next press. But thats only happened a couple of times and I think each of those times I had walked away from my phone so probably went out of range (so I'm guessing the phone just hadn't noticed the BT headset being in range yet).
Try deleting the partnership and setting it up again after a soft reset.
I too have a Plantronics Voyager I think its called and I have not had this problem. I tossed my Motorola BT because the audio level was way too low on it.

I tried that and it did not work... Thanks for trying anyway...
Did you try when you tick the hands free that you used the enter button on the D pad instead of the other button?

I've reported the same issue with Farias ROM I am using WM6. I use a Plantronics, have to keep going back and selecting it as the handsfree.
Don't know if it a WM6 problem or a Faria problem...annoying I know.

hey.... it worked!!!! At least so far! :-D
I have repaired the headset (but I tried that several times in the past!) and untick the hands free and ticked it again and now I have tried several times and it seems that it is working.
I do not understand way. Can you explain I this non-sense procedure solves the problem
I had a little problem pairing my Plantronics Explorer 340 with my device, but after the pairing, it did work without any problems. apparently some WM6 roms out thre are having this issue. I would suggest re-flash your device and se how it works
I have a Plantronics 655 and don't have this problem. The only thing out of the ordinary that I do when pairing though is re-name the headset (defaults to 6xxPlantronics, I change it to Plantronics 655)
However, I experience a slightly different problem. My BT headset and handset don't automatically re-pair after returning in range or resetting the handset. Anyone else experiencing this?
Everytime I walk out of range or reset my phone, I would have to turn off my headset then turn it back on for the two to pair back up. I sometimes forget and when I hear the handset ring, I pick up w/ the headset only to find that they're no longer paired. Is there a way to have the two automatically pair back up? I never had this problem when I was using AKU3 roms and the stock Cingular 2.25 ROM.

Annoying issue with bluetooth headset

Hello all,
I've had my TP for over a month now, and globally I'm pretty much happy with it. Of course there are some glitches here and there, but no doubt a firmware upgrade will fix those bugs soon.
That said, there's an annoying issue with the way bluetooth headsets work with the phone part. Let me try to explain :
- When an incoming call occurs and I answer using the "take call" button on my headset (which is a Plantronics Pulsar 590), sounds is transferred to the headset and everything works fine.
- When an incoming call occurs and I answer using the "answer" button on the mobile, the sound stays on the TP even if the headset is switched on and connected to the TP.
When the latter happens, I can't get the sound back to the headset. When I select "transfer to hands-free" from the phone menu, the transfer works erratically.
Is there a fix available somewhere to make sure that, when the headset is on and connected, the sound of an incoming call always goes to the headset?
Thanks a lot in advance for any help you may bring on solving this issue!
Are you using AEBPlus?
No (and honestly, I don't see how that relates to the problem)
Hi Guys,
I also have this issue.
But if I press the 'answer call' on the mobile the sound stays with the Touch Pro but if, once I realise what I've done, I press the 'answer call' on the headset then audio is transferred to the headset again.
Does that happen for you? I'm using an SBTHS-3500 BT headset.
Cheers,
D.

Sorry, I had multiple tabs open for responses.
Copy'n'Paste error.
P.S. I had this issue on my TP and Diamond as well. I have since installed a 2.03-based ROM which fixes the issue (since you can no longer press the phone button to answer, but rather have to use a slider).

[Q] Headphones in and VC wont stop activating

I feel like this would be a common problem but I haven't found any info here or on Google regarding my exactly issue.
It seems that whenever I have a pair of headphones in my HTC seems to recognize them as a bluetooth headset, and with no actual button on either of the headphones I've tried it just activates VC to listen to what I have to say non stop, as you can see, this creates a problem.
If the only solution is to get rid of voice command, I wouldn't mind, I have never ever used it after having the phone over six months.

[Q] Annoying problem with Nexus S and Nokia carkit CK-100

Hi everybody.
I've bought Nokia Carkit CK-100 for my car and my Nexus S (I-9020T)
Pairing and using was perfect before I updated my Nexus S > Android 2.3 (I did it last spring 2011) and higher.
After updating I've got an annoying problem:
While my carkit turns on, then I start my car, it automatically searching and connecting to my Nexus S. But Nexus connects almost each time in "speech" mode (carkit lights green) and my car audio system is being muted. After performing any call from my phone, then I press the END CALL button, carkit is become idle (carkit lights blue), and makes my audio sounds the music.
I've tried many different phones. All among of my Nexus S works perfect.
I've tried to use another one same Carkit CK-100 but the problem is persist with my Nexus.
I'd flash different RADIOs, tried to use many firmwares, rooted and unrooted, stock and customized. Tried to turn off the A2DP mode. Tried to update FW of my carkit to recent one. THE PROBLEM IS PERSIST, and it is VERY ANNOYING!
Please somebody tell me an advice how to solve this issue?
I love my Nexus very much and won't to dismantle the Carkit from my car.
