I'm using a ROM based on Android 5.0, not rooted, but rooting is doable. I have a set of Bluetooth headphones (JBL Mini Reflect BT) and no audio input is taken from their microphone (not in calls, but neither in apps like Recorder or Skype) and the phone's internal microphone is used instead. Would it be possible to use the BT headphones' microphone in the same way as a wired headset's microphone is used when connected (meaning it would override the internal microphone by default and be used in both calls and apps)? If yes, how should this be done (which apps/which settings)? At the moment I cannot use BT microphone in any of the apps/calls.

I want to use Spype on my G Tablet - bought myself a bluetooth headset. I can connect no problem (can even toggle it on and off with the home screen button application) it beeps indicating the connection.
But when I do calls I doesn't use the mic and speaker of the headset. Matter of fact it seems like it messed up with my audio setting because my built-in speakers don't seem to work anymore.
Any thoughts?
Sometimes I have the same issue. If you want speakers back, try disconnecting from the Bluetooth device. If that doesn't fix it, just reboot. I just posted another comment about the impossibility to use a bluetooth headset, not just for output, but for audio input also. I guess this is because there's no HSP or HFP bluetooth profiles implemented on the g tablet, just a2dp, which is why it just can stream audio to an output device, like a bluetooth stereo headset or car audio. BTW, I discovered this when trying to achieve exactly what you tried to do, making calls using Skype.
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...
I have read many other posts on this issue, but still haven't found an answer (maybe there isn't one). How can I make a bluetooth microphone route audio to any app waiting for input ?
No matter what I do the Xperia Z's internal mic remains active, unless I am in call or have (only by accident ! ) activated the useless Voice Dialer. The BT devices are a Laser headset and a Plantronics K100 hands-free.Sound is routed to the BT speakers/phones OK.
Can anyone explain why a paired BT mic is only active when in call, but does not accept audio input from any other application?
I connected a speaker to bluetooth but it only use it for media. I want to use it also in a call, is there a different settings for that?
Thanks
I think that if your speaker has no microphone it won't be use during calls.

You aren't making any sense.
What do you mean "use a microphone from Bluetooth without a built-in microphone"?
I don't think a Bluetooth headset will work like that, it's a hardware limitation built into your device, not a software limitation.
You'll need to get a microphone that is designed for what you're trying to do.
