Hi all, I have had this bug in varying flavours with both the Wizard and now the Kaiser.
If I make a call via Bluetooth (certain devices only e.g. JVC in car stereo), after the call, all audio is lost on the device when using the speaker, e.g. no ringtones, no TomTom voice guidance.
Strangely the touchtone sounds on the phone dialler continue to work.
Making another call via Bluetooth works fine and all audio is heard, but not if calling via the earpiece of the phone.
It is like Bluetooth is 'stealing' the audio from the phone's speaker (which is should), but not giving it back at the end.
Currently am running WM6.1 Sleuth 3.0 on the TyTN II. Any advice appreciated.
I find that Skype uses the tablet's microphone even when a bluetooth headset is paired and audio is coming out of the headset speakers. Googling it , this seems to be a longstanding Skype bug. Has anyone found a way to get Skype to use the bluetooth headphone mic?
Thanks
Android needs to enable bluetooth mike system wide, just like in other OS.
There are other apps that can use this, not only skype.
Some of them are web based, like making calls with bobsled.

It's not an Android problem, per se. I use a Motorola stereo bluetooth headset that can be used for phone calls too with my Android phone with no problems on cell phone calls and Sipdroid (for VOIP). I would suspect Skype still has bugs with bluetooth, which is a fairly recent addition to their Android software. OP, the Skype forums might be your best avenue for help. There are numerous users in the Skype forum reporting problems with bluetooth using Skype.

What I am trying to say is that, just like when you plug in the wired headset the sound is rerouted to the headset's earphones (disabling the device's speakers) and the microphone input is rerouted to the headset's mike (disabling the device's mike), the same should occur when the device pairs with a BT headset.
This is what happens when I pair my win xp pc to a BT headset. This way, the audio I/O change is system wide, and can be used by all apps.
Furthermore, additional settings in the device's settings screen could allow the user more control, like simultaneous use of the device's speakers and the BT earphone, (say you want to let a person next to you listen in to your conversation).
P.S. I wonder what the right place is to submit this to Android development...
Hello
I’m trying to resolve an issue i have with my Sony MW1 Bluetooth headset when doing Skype or Hangouts calls
For some reason when using a Bluetooth headset (Used a Sony MW1 Smart Wireless Headset Pro, set and a Fiat Blue&Me Car Bluetooth) the sound keeps breaking off both for me and the person I’m calling. I get long brake after witch the sound returns for a while.
I tried LTE/HSPA and WiFi calls all with the same result
When using a wired headset there is no issue like this. nor do I have the issue when i do regular phone calls using the sets
Furthermore sometimes the Bluetooth sound doesn’t turn on at all, so I get no sound neither on the loudspeaker nor on the Bluetooth set although the BT volume is set to max
Any idea how to resolve this?
Hi there,
I've got a problem and I'm not sure if it's related to whatsapp or android.
If I connect my bluetooth headset (plantronics voyager legend), it works for calls.
If I want to use it for whatsapp voice messages I can hear message playback on the
headset as well as on the phone. But for input it only uses the phones mic.
Is there any way to select the input device that is used?
Stock Android 5.x on Nexus 5.
Thank you,
Christoph
