I always use my bluetooth headset when talking to family and friends(due to the length of time, hate holding phone). Since, I switched from my nexus one people have griped about the interference/noise they hear when I'm on my bluetooth headset. It is not my BT headset as I've tried a few(motorola S305, and two smaller bluetooth earpieces), all of which exhibit the noise. I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem ?
Running the Galaxy S I9000 ROM rooted.
Everyone complains about hearing me whenever I try to use a headset. Seems like the stack sucks or the radio is terrible.
Got the same problem. My bluetooth calls are loud and clear on my side, but everyone on the other side complains about static noice and I sound very distant.
I tried the original ATT rom (stock unrooted) and the most current 2.1 that is available for download. No difference.
Any ideas what to try to remedy this?
I haven't noticed anything like this on my Motorola S9-HD headset.
I have noticed sometimes it will cut the music every once in a while, whereas my iPhone never did.

This is a known issue with the I9000 ROM... Bluetooth doesn't work well for some...
I'm running the stock rom... is that the I9000 rom?
None of my friends have mentioned such a problem when i've called them, although I've only made bluetooth calls a couple of times (including on the bus and at home).
Using after-market Nokia BH-503s.
I'm definately seeing the same problem on the stock rom. Not as bad as athe I9000 ROM but still bad enough for them to complain. Seems like it's made worse by the different roms/kernels we've been flashing but there's definately a problem.

I'm seeing similar symptoms, except my music cuts out every 30 seconds or so. My setup is a Kensington iPhone adapter connected through aux input in my car with an Anycom FIPO on the iPhone adapter (it converts the iPhone/iPod adapter into a bluetooth receiver). I then stream from my Captivate to the adapter and it works fine except that it cuts out every 30 seconds. Did you ever figure out how to fix it?
UPDATE: Just wanted to add that I figured out what was causing my problem: having Wifi turned on. Once I turned it off, my bluetooth streaming worked beautifully, with no hiccups.
Still have a problem with this. Stopped using my BT headset completely... sucks having this thing stuck to my head for calls.
I have encountered several problems:
Party can not hear me at all; though I can hear fine.
Party hears tinny sound to my voice.
Headset disconnects while playing music.
Using a Motorokr S9-HD. Works fine with Samsung A-737.
I too have the static problem. This phone sounds wonderful on my end, but everyone complains that that can't hear me! This is so far the only complaint I have.... I hope someone will have a fix, or come up with something.
I have this problem too !
Is anyone else having issues with the bluetooth connectivity with their HTC Inspire? It pairs with my car with no issues. The bluetooth drops in and out. It says bluetooth headset connected... then 1 minute later it says bluetooth headset disconnected... and so on.
The car doesn't recognize that it is gone so the sound stops on the speakers in the car but the phone doesn't switch the source to the phone. I have to switch it manually to get back to my call.
Anyhow, I see a lot of articles on google where people are complaining about this but I have been unable to find any resolution. Has anyone here had this issue and resolved it?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Same is happening with mine. I paired my inspire with the car and it connects. But if I use it no connection or doesn't dial. When I receive a call and disconnect, my car will stop the connection but the phone stays on.
I might be restoring to stock to see if it's just an inspire thing or bug with different ROM's

I am using my phone stock and was thinking about rooting it if it would fix it. I am new to Droid phones so I have not read enough to be comfortable with rooting quite yet...
Have you found any solution to this issue? I've just bought a BT headphone (Plantronics 903+), and as a I put it in my left pocket (where it is supposed to be placed since the headphone antenna in the left side), connection dropping starts and never stop happening. The movement seems to stress the connection quality and it gets really annoying, I can't listen to music without having this chopped streaming all the time.
I thought to post this question here since this is the only post I found about the same issue, but I will put a specific one about Plantronics and Inspire if I can't come out with a solution. I'm really very disappointed now with the headset, the phone or I don't really know which one is the guilty one.
Thanks in advance
it will not work. since after rooting, my phone cannot pair with my Garmin GPS, but it did with the stock rom.

I still have the stock rom
I've been having bluetooth problems with this phone since day 1 & I'm wondering if it's just my phone or if anyone else is having the same experience. No matter what rom or headset I use, I get a craptastic connection. I don't have any problems pairing devices, but I can't get 10 feet away from the phone without it disconnecting and I can't even turn my head without the audio cutting out. It also randomly disconnects for no reason & sometimes won't reconnect until I reboot. This has happened with every rom I've tried & every headset too. I've bought & returned multiple headsets thinking it was just my Blueant, but it happens with every one.
Could I have a faulty unit or does the bluetooth on this phone really suck this bad? I listen to podcasts & music all day long at work so I need to have a decent connection. Opinions needed please.
I think it may be a bad phone.
I have and used the following bluetooth devices:
Plantronics 590A
Jawbone Icon and Era
BlueAnt S4 which I use in the car. And auto connects before I sit down to drive when I have it on.
Sony Ericsson MW600
And Jabra Pro 9470 (office phone setup that connects to my phone via bt)
All connects without a problem. Have you done a titanium backup and perform a factory reset? And after the reset use titanium backup to restore app and data only and leave the system settings alone. You can restore the wifi stuff if you like. From there that's like a fresh install. Hope that works for you.
Yeah I've done many, many wipes & fresh installs & nothing helps. I don't have any problems connecting, I just have problems STAYING connected & listening to audio. It cuts out constantly without me even touching the phone. I've never had such shoddy bluetooth on any other device.
*sigh* Looks like I may be doing an exchange...

Well before leaving the store...if you are going to a brick and mortar to do the exchange, bring the bt headset with you and try it out there and try to replicate the problem with a new phone.
I do not have range problems but I don't usually have my phone more than 5 ft way from me when talking on it via bt.
I have a replacement on the way for bluetooth problems,people complained of a horrid background noise and the range was maybe 8 feet before major static would kick in

My BT sounds like crap! People say it sounds like I'm in a wind tunnel or they can't hear me that well, when they speak to me it cuts in and out.
This is when I connect to my Parrot BT in my truck. I know its not the Parrot system because my HD2 works fine with it.

I have a Dual car stereo & now that I think about it, everyone says they can't hear me even though I installed the mic on the side column & it's no more than a foot from my face at any time. Aargh this is so annoying. Freaking $600 phone & my damn $25 RAZR from Big Lots has better bluetooth.
If I bring it to the store, would they exchange it for me? I ordered it directly from T-Mobile, I didn't get it in a store.

a few threads about bluetooth problems
So whats the deal? Has anyone been able to fix the BT problems with this phone yet?
Can we flash a different BT.apk file or something?
Somebody by now should have some answers I would think.
My parrot system in my truck suck ass with this phone. Always cutting in and out.
Streaming audio is fine its the talking to people I'm have problems with.

I use this with my blueant s4 without an issue and experience no cutting in and out. However, I have been running MIUI and now running sense-o-maniac 3.5 and I have no issues.

horrid bluetooth sound quality
it seems a lot of people have been having issues with the bluetooth sound quality. i have mine paired with a motorola HF850 car kit, which has bluetooth v1.1, or something like that. i wonder if the problem is with backward compatibility, as people seem not to have as many issues with newer devices. would flashing a different radio potentiall help this problem? is it possible to downgrade the bluetooth version with a custom ROM? any other thoughts on ways to address this issue?
Hello,
Pardon if this has been answered already, I simply did not find my exact question answered.
I am using my unmodified Nexus 5 (not even rooted), with the latest KitKat (v.4.4.2 build KOT49H) with quite a few wired and wireless headsets and people always complain they cannot hear me. Eventually I got my hands on an old Samsung Galaxy S2 and tried my best bluetooth headset with it: Imagine my surprise, I could hear myself quite clearly even when I was talking really really softly, barely above a whisper. My headset is excellent. My phone is not.
My questions revolve around what to do about it.
Nothing in KitKat allows me to adjust the bluetooth microphone gain, nor does it let me use an equalizer on my microphone. I can adjust the volume of the headset, but this does not do anything to the microphone gain.
So...
Question 1: am I the only person with this problem?
Question 2: what do you people do about it?
Question 3: are there any mods / custom ROMs out there that attempt to fix this problem? Google does not appear to be interested in doing so.
Thanks in advance!
*bump*
Any ideas? I have tried re-pairing my bluetooth headset - no go. I have tried flashing custom ROMs and kernels - no go again. It seems to be a problem with the phone, but I have no idea how to fix it. And Google searches always return other people having this problem. Noone with solutions, though.
Using a wired headset results in even worse results, if that were at all possible.
Has anyone tried to replace the bluetooth stack or driver with something that works?
Thanks!
*bump*
Yesterday I spent quite a few hours tinkering with my phone. I tried every last radio out there for the Nexus 5 and none had any effect on bluetooth microphone levels. Then I tried a few AOSP ROMs: CM11 and Omni. They turned out to be so closely related I might as well have just tried one. None had any effect on bluetooth microphone. Heck if CM11 doesn't do it, there really are no alternatives out there! I tried the FauxAudio tweak, even paid $2 to Faux, which successfully managed to do nothing: app didn't was written badly. Finally, I tried a bunch of volume boost tweaks. That worked, actually. That is, it boosted the wrong volume. Finally, in a moment of true and utter desperation, I opened an ADB shell and edited that mixer file by hand. I then discovered that microphone gain on bluetooth is not controlled there.
I tried all my wired headsets again: Etymotic HF3's microphone produces such an atrocious sound, if I am to rely on it I need to seriously consider becoming a mime. Then there were my Bose QC15 headphones with a remote cable for Android by some off-brand company: that was terrible, the cable is useless. Heck, not even mime lessons can help me there.
Eventually I chanced upon an old microphone cable for my QC15 headphones. Just microphone, no remote. Surprisingly, this one is loud and clear! That after being anything but loud or clear on my old cell phone. Interesting. Unfortunately, it's been out of production for a few years. My working theory is that Bose realized putting a decent microphone on expensive headphones gives people real value, makes them spend money, and that way lies madness. We can't have that, can we. So when that cable starts cutting, so does my use of this cell phone.
I am screwed.
In any case, I will stop bumping my own thread, you guys obviously don't know a solution or there would have been a lively conversation right now. And I am pretty sure there is a moderator or two frowning right now, possibly getting ready to throw an encyclopedia at me. My only hope is that Google is going to do something about that pesky Broadcom driver that doesn't work sometime before the mass exodus to the iPhone. And before my precious microphone cable stops working, or I will be leading the way for that exodus. It's a phone, damnit, if it doesn't work like one it's no good.
Hmmm.... it should be possible to wire a good lavalier mike on a cell phone cable... maybe I can get an op-amp from an old tape recorder to get decent amplification... When attaching a 9V battery on my headphone cable begins to look appealing, we really have a problem.
Yes, if nobody reply you is because no one can help u.
But for what it's worth, i had an Xperia Play for 2 years. Using an Motorola Bluetooth Headset H350 while driving and a MW600 Sony Ericsson Stereo Bluetooth Headset, both never had a problem.
Now from 2013 Christmas both headsets with my new N5: still never a problem and not noticing any low volume or mic. Sorry
same issue

hi,
i am having the same issue with my Nexus 5 in combination with my Logitech H800 Wireless headset (people can`t hear me).
Anybody who did find a solution for this?
Thx

No solution. I tried everything, everything I could think of. I got FauxAudio to work eventually and that did nothing for Bluetooth performance (and it said it wouldn't, but I was desperate).
I returned a lot of high end bluetooth headsets over this issue. Eventually I came upon the Plantronics Voyager Legend. I would like to tell you this really expensive headset works fine, but no - microphone gain is still low, though this time around people can hear me okay. Not great, just okay. I am using that now. It's not perfect, it's far from perfect, but finally usable. Sort of. If I speak loudly.
For what it is worth, the ElementalX kernel improves Bluetooth stability on the N5 quite a bit. Microphone gain is still low, though. Another thing that sometimes helps a little is turning off the multimedia profile on the headset, though why THAT would make a difference is beyond me.
All we can do is wait, watch the Samsung Galaxy S5 get released and wonder if we should switch.

This app controls the bluetooth volume, not the bluetooth gain. The bluetooth volume was never a problem.

So this is a android kitkiat 4.4 issue?
Or is this problem only on several Nexus 5-devices?

My guess is either the bluetooth baseband or the bluetooth kernel driver used in the N5 is flaky. This is why I think so:
Problem does not exist on my old Samsung Galaxy S2, including when it runs the same nightly of CM11, nor does it exist on my computer or my desk phone. All the headsets I've owned performed admirably there, so the headsets are not directly the cause. From what I've seen no ROM and no kernel out there seem to be making a difference as far as Bluetooth gain is concerned, the problem is persistently there and the same. Best I could tell it's just the N5 with a problem and it's just for the phone profile. I've tried the Bose headset (the worst performer headset with the N5 of the lot) on a colleague's N5 and his phone was just as bad with it as mine. I am not sure if it's a small batch of N5s having a problem, I don't own lots and lots of N5 phones to try on, but I doubt it: with anything digital things are usually all-or-nothing and the N5 has an off-the-shelf Bluetooth chip, which is not unique to the N5. My guess is it's the entire model, but having only tried on 2 N5 phones, this is no more than a guess.
From what I saw online, the entire Nexus line has poor Bluetooth performance, not just the 5, and Google changed the Bluetooth stack with KitKat besides possibly introducing more problems. If you have a non-Nexus phone, the manufacturer most certainly replaced the Bluetooth driver and radio with one of their own, so problem goes away, but the Nexus line does not enjoy such attention.
An interesting thing to try would be for someone to put the LG G2 Bluetooth driver on a N5 kernel and try it out. I don't have the time or the expertise to do that, but there are plenty of people who do. Assuming the G2 does not have problems with bluetooth gain, if the problem still persists it will tell us if it's the N5 baseband or hardware doing it, and noone can help us there if that's the case.
I have this problem too, using my Nexus5 with iphone headsets. Peoples told me in skype and hangouts, that they hear me bad...

That's a different problem. The wired headset problem is easily solvable with FauxAudio and a supported kernel.
This maybe realted to the changes Google made to the core Bluetooth stack as of Android 4.3+ I know they made adjustments for the BLE [low poer Bluetooth devices like pedometers and other senor type crap]. It is BEYOND me as to why Google keeps adding functionality ot the core Bluetooth stack when it is GLARINGLY OBVIOUS they have real problems with Bluetooth as a whole. WHY NOT fix the core issues so Bluetooth is much better at the basics before trying to add functionality or more complex?
I know they complained it would cost a bit for a different newer Bluetooth license but I mean in my personal experience with many different phones Bluetooth is SUPER flaky even at it's best in Android, and does not even work the same way across devices [I have used 3 different Jabra speakerphones on my bosses Galaxy 3 recently and they all worked to varying degrees even though they all use the same version of Bluetooth protocol], but my T989 [Galaxy 2 T-mobile], my parents G2s My bosses older Bionic, My fathers new Droid X, etc. all have random problems. You can usually find one device that works well with a certain phone/ROM, but that can change between ROM versions and devices so it is like you need to go and buy 1 of everything every time there is an update and go crazy finding the ONE that works [and as noted on page 1 with the gentleman using the same Platronics Voyager Platinum as I have it is a super expensive very nice device that worked BEAUTIFULLY in ICS, but now in 4.1 + you can not get more than 1 or 2 words across the mic unless you are YELLING at it like a crazy person on the SAME device].
So all that to say I think it is prolly related to changes Android made in 4.3+ flipped the Bluetooth operability on it's head.
Mic Volume OK with KitKat 4.4.4 and cheap "HB-800" headset
there've been no posts for a while so maybe the problem has gone away with the KitKat updates.
But anyway:-
I have a Nexus 5 and recently bought a cheap generic stereo earbud headset with mic from eBay .... $14.82 Ozzie including delivery to Western Australia.
I've actually asked the other party whether they can hear me (specifically "am I loud enough?") because I read this thread and have been assured that it's all good.
In fact it's a pity the sound quality at MY end isn't better, but that's probably the low quality ear buds rather than electronics / firmware reasons.
Of course, ymmv.
Here's the ebay item title in case anyone wants to look it up or I can pm the item number if it helps.
"Headphones Earphones with MIC 1st Stereo Bluetooth Hands-Free Wireless HV/HB-800"
No, the problem is still there. Reason there are no posts is that no one has a solution. Nothing has changed since March. I am somewhat controlling it with CM11 running on the ElementalX kernel. Without this kernel Bluetooth performance is unbearable. With it it is barely adequate.
It's funny that a cheap headset would work okay while multiple top-of-the-line everything-but-the-kitchen-sink models like the Plantronics Voyager Pro would still be having problems.
I was seriously considering getting the OnePlus One, the Nexus 6 and even the iPhone 6 hoping the issue would finally be fixed. It's ridiculous that a phone commonly accepted as the measuring stick of the Android world would be having problems with simple tasks like driving a bluetooth headset. *very disappointed*
Me too. Two days with my new N5 and when I use my Sony SBH20 people hear me bad... With my N4 no problem. Its annoying! Ive to speak with headset because Ive problems with my left arm and legs, I only have the right to hold the phone, I cant do anyhing more and when I walk I need that arm to hold my cane.
I dont see a real solution, I will have to return the N5
I can't consistently reproduce it, but it has happened several times already. Every so often the phone will inject a nasty electronic squeal into the sound output, particularly noticeable on Bluetooth. I originally assumed it was just a lost Bluetooth packet or something, but then when I turned off the receiver the sound continued to come out of the speakers intermittently for about a minute! I have Jaybird Bluebud X headphones and my car connects via bluetooth as well.
I've also had issues with the phone audio getting super choppy on initial connection, and the Bluetooth module seems to have major interference with at least one of the 2.4Ghz Wifi bands... unfortunately the precise band that the router in the gym picked, so bluetooth audio + wifi is basically impossible (constant stuttering).
Anyone else having issues?
Nope not here ???

I've definitely had the squeal. I also had the low volume over Bluetooth while in call bug.
Yes! I'm glad I'm not the only one. I've had this happen several times (but not consistently) while playing music in Google Play Music.
I don't really have a recent phone to compare to, but the M8 never did that even as the rest of the hardware has been slowly dying these last few months. I guess it's more noticeable since on Bluetooth I'm usually in my car with the volume up... The sound is like fingernails on a chalkboard ?

I got that high pitch noise a couple of times on two different HTC U11 phones from the bottom speaker I think (not using a headset). It happened both times when I was using Chrome on a particular web page. I closed the page and it never happened again on my first phone. I exchanged that one due to a minor display defect and same thing happened on my second phone. On both phones it happened early on once I had everything setup and never happened again. On both phones the BoomSound notification appeared due to an ad on the webpage. Must be some weird software glitch. I do have my phone connected to my Gear S3 via Bluetooth. Not sure if that has anything to do with it. At first I was worried that there was a hardware issue. It definitely sounded like the squeal noise you described here. Almost sounded like an electrical interference.
Ive had this noise for sure, in my car on bluetooth with music player. Not sure how to duplicate, but definatley annoying.

Yes, I get it with my Jaybird X headphones at the gym too. I think you're right that it has something to do with the WiFi bands. I never have any problem in the car.

Yes, I get it with my Jaybird X headphones at the gym too. I think you're right that it has something to do with the WiFi bands. I never have any problem in the car.

Sounds like most of you have gotten it when using a BT headset. Both times it happened to me I was merely browsing the web using Chrome and I was connected to my Gear S3 via Bluetooth. I wasn't even streaming anything, and I heard the squeal noise through the phone's speakers. Weird but luckily it seems to be a very rare occurrence.
I've a similar problem but with Wi-Fi in 5 ghz band while making a call. If I'm in a call and at same time the phone is sending or receiving data through a 5 ghz Wi-Fi I can hear a noise or squeal. If I make a call in Skype or WhatsApp using 5 ghz Wi-Fi the squeal is more notorious. It's like 5 ghz antenna is not correctly isolated from upper speaker. If I'm in 2,4 ghz Wi-Fi or not using Wi-Fi at all the sound is okay and no squeal. I can always reproduce this annoyance.
I have HTC phones since One X and never had one without some sort of signal isolation problem. HTC 10 was the worst at this matter as touching upper frames dropped 4g signal and interrupted bluetooth.
I just had this same problem. I remember someone mentioning this on the viper rom forums so I went back to find the post which was by @mhajii210 and linked this thread. I have no desire to trouble shoot the problem since by tomorrow this phone will be in the mail heading back to HTC but figured I'd post what I have to offer.
I did NOT have bluetooth turned on (not at all since last reboot) I was using wifi - most likely connected to 5g but not certain. I was browsing chrome when it squelled for about 20 seconds. After it stopped all was fine. Then about 15 man later when a notification went off it did it again. I opened gallary, played a video, and did it again. Even when I recieved a phone call it did it. Everytime boomsound icon was present. Turning screen off it still continued. After a reboot, has been fine. The only thing I wish I had done was force close chrome.
I hope this info if useful.

Thank you for your post. Sorry to hear you're sending the phone back. I strongly believe it is a Google Chrome bug. I've been using the Samsung Internet Browser Beta and so far it hasn't happened. It's still too early and I have to continue testing the phone since it didn't happen very often.

I can't consistently reproduce it, but it has happened several times already. Every so often the phone will inject a nasty electronic squeal into the sound output, particularly noticeable on Bluetooth. I originally assumed it was just a lost Bluetooth packet or something, but then when I turned off the receiver the sound continued to come out of the speakers intermittently for about a minute! I have Jaybird Bluebud X headphones and my car connects via bluetooth as well.
I've also had issues with the phone audio getting super choppy on initial connection, and the Bluetooth module seems to have major interference with at least one of the 2.4Ghz Wifi bands... unfortunately the precise band that the router in the gym picked, so bluetooth audio + wifi is basically impossible (constant stuttering).
Anyone else having issues?

Is there any solution to bluetooth + wifi problem? I just got myself a sony wh1000xm2 and it is impossible to watch youtube video or listen music from spotify without interruption. But as soon as I either turn off the bluetooth or my headset, it becomes all good. I am using us unlocked phone and I am on Oreo
Hi - any fix in this? I get the squeal using mpow Bluetooth earbuds, but don't use Wi-Fi. I can live with that noise, but, unrelated to bt headphones, all of a sudden the bottom speaker on my U11 sounds like an air compressor going off whenever the boomsound icon pops up (while browsing) and notifications, alarms etc. I've rebooted and messed around with sounds but no go - anyone else have this issue??
