I own an ASUS Zenpad 370 CG phablet and a bluetooth headset Plantronics Voyager Legend. Android version is 5.0.2.
Here is my problem:
Earlier I was using this bluetooth with Samsung Galaxy SIII. The voice quality was great at both ends. But when I switched to Zenpad, I started hearing complaints from those with whom I was talking. I could hear them alright, but they complained of unclear sound.
I did the check by being at the other end. My wife called me, using the bluetooth, from SIII first and then from Zenpad. SIII sound was good, but Zenpad sound is faint. If she spoke up, I could hear her well. But at normal level of speech, I needed to strain my ear.
I checked bluetooth with Easy Voice Recorder and Skype. When I record with bluetooth on Easy Voice Recorder (Paid app), the voice is faint. But this app has a mic boost for bluetooth. When I boosted the mic, the sound came out loud enough and audio quality is also very good.
When I use bluetooth with Skype (Echo / sound testing service), my own voice (through bluetooth) played back to me is very clear.
I had one more interesting observation. I was talking to someone and needed to record the call. While talking to her, the sound quality at both ends wasn't great, but we could talk. But when I played back the recording, the sound quality of both of us was much better.
To me it seems that Zenpad's voice caller is somehow inferior to that in Samsung Galaxy SIII. I looked for bluetooth mic booster for voice calls. But there seems to be none such. I tried using other caller apps, but they also seem to use my built in app.
It seems that if I can somehow manipulate some settings in my caller app, or I can completely replace it with another caller app, I should be able to get very clear voice quality in Zenpad, like SIII.
What does the developer community here think? And what suggestion does it have, if any?
Thanks

I saw that my Atom makes too much pitch voice on speakers ( both on voice call and music-stereo ) and also on headphone. The sound of music and voice cuts like a knife (the equalizer is always off). Any one have a solutions, please?
P.S: I have tried on another from my friend (which have been purchased in Singapore). It's quite the same.
Hi all,
well, problem is there since I purchased Huawei S7 Slim. I've tried it with several BT headsets and always the same problem.
It's paired and connected pretty fast, but when in call, other party can't hear me well while he is talking. It seems like tablet can't send my voice until other (incoming) voice is on. When other party stops talking I can talk and sound is sent normaly.
I've noticed this to be even bigger problem when other party is in some noisy place (on the street, listening to the music etc) and all those noises are sent as a sound to me, so everything I say gets muted (or in best case choppy).
Anyway, I can hear other party good, there is no problem in opposite direction, just outgoing voice get muted.
When I switch to speaker everything is good.
I've read somewhere that this is problem in Froyo, but my question is if anybody else got this problem and if there is some kind of solution. Wired headset works fine but I would like to get rid of it and move to BT.
Headset is Nokia BH 105, but I've tried BH 104 as well. Both headsets works just fine with other phones, and it seems to support A2DP, HSP etc
One more thing... when I try to listen music no sound comes to BT headset...
Hope I was clear with question and looking forward to your responses. Thanks in advance.
I have a Bluetooth 2.0 headset. An LG HBM-210. For the life of me I cannot get it to work how I want it. I'm running Phoenix Blood v1.7 and Faux's 048 kernel. It works with the stock voice dialer but thats IT. Vlingo looks like it would be pretty sweet, but bluetooth voice input does not work for it for me. Nor does reading things back to me (like texts etc.). It uses the internal mic and internal speaker on the phone to playback. When I hit the mic on a text as well, it again only uses the phone's mic and not my bluetooth. Do I need a certain version bluetooth or something to get this to work? Or is there an app that may potentially be a fix for this (tried BTMono briefly). Thanks for any advice in advance.
Even Google Voice Search, only works through the internal phone mic... Same with speaking a destination in Google Navigation..... the ONLY app that works properly is the stock voice dialer. It will say "speak now" into my ear and then correctly picks up what im saying into the bluetooth mic and not the phone internal mic. So strange to me......
This is an issue with the Bluetooth implementation of the phone. I used to use super mono froyo to stream podcasts to my mono Bluetooth. It worked on my other androids, but not this one. You need to get an a2dp Bluetooth. I have a jabra stone 2 that works good except for the battery life. For streaming audio I only got an hour and a half battery life. However it comes with a little round dock to clip on your belt that recharges it. It might be good for the occasional YouTube video or voice dictation/ tts. The reason it only works with voice dialer is because that is built into the handsfree Bluetooth profile. A2dp is for music and stereo audio, I chose a mono a2dp for working purposes(not safe to cover both ears). Good luck!

Hey XDA,
my question is related to the mics of bluetooth headsets.
Is it possible to disable them and use the one of the phone instead ? (The audio quality gets bad when calling with the bluetooth mic, I mean it should be better when disabling it).
SoundAbout doesn't work (incompatibility with Oreo ig) and other Apps don't have what i need.
Same goes to wired headphones with inline mics (since the one i use is crackling).
I'm thankful for any tries or hints on how I could make it work.
Have a nice day!:good:
Phone: LeMax2
Rom: RR 6.0.0 - Oreo 8.1.0
same problem here. I cannot find the solution.
This is just what I've been looking for.
This is how I think it goes: there's different channels where sounds goes, one is what you use for almost all media, (another one is that is used when you enable media player to play along with others or play games (not sure)), and one that where calls are. "Call mode" is what makes sound crappy and I think that microphone is related crappy sound too, because it needs more Bluetooth bandwidth to transfer mic and audio data at the same time. Reasoning behind those different channels is because I have screenrecorder which can record system sounds too, but it cannot record when phone uses Bluetooth earphones mic(when it is in "call mode"). And there's more why I think it is so: I always get notification that I'm in call even if I play pubg with microphone access enabled but don't use microphone or use live video platforms like Microsoft teams or Google meet. Also sound control is same as in normal voice call: can't really mute sound fully and if Bluetooth disconnects, it plays audio from phones speaker when in normal media player it pauses it or continues playing sound in same level as last used volume level on phone speaker.
I'm currently looking way to make audio of those "calls" go as media audio and make it use mic from phone. And also making discord channel for Android users to discuss about things like these and find useful features to make use of android much easier.
Correct if I'm wrong about anything stated earlier..
And if you have any tips where I could find more specific info on this.
I found way to make it use phones mic and thus making sound quality better
I used this "mic speaker" from play store. Unfortunately I don't yet have access to post links.
Edit: sorry, wrong call. Something happened in sound quality, but it's still crappy compared to wired earphones
Hello
I am using Sony WI - XB 400 bluetooth earphones. While it connects fine and I watch movies, listen to music etc. The microphone of the device does not work with third party applications like voice recorder, discord, etc.
If I make a call and keep the phone in my pocket the mic of the bluetooth device works fine. However if I simply open up a voice recorder and keep the phone far away, so as to force it to use the bluetooth mic, no voice is recorded. The same goes while I try to test micrphone in discord settings. It detects nothing if I speak on the bluetooth mic/ tap on it, but if I tap on the phone's inbuild mic or talk into it I can see the mic working.
Anyone faced such issues?
I'm using the huawei freebuds 3 and apple airpods daily with my nord. The microphone works fine for me, people hear/understand what I say. Could it be that your microphone permissions need access? Check that out before you proceed.
But you talk about recording, are you using some kind of call recording software? If so I can tell you this is not possible without root. I have searched and tested several apps but recording quality is verry bad in such a way it's useless. I have not rooted my phone yet, so I cannot say anything about how it works when rooted.
