Having a problem when making calls on bluetooth. The phone shows ringing on the other end but makes no ringing sound on my end. I can tell the other person has picked up but still no sound. The other person hangs up. I call back and then the call works fine. I have searched and not found anything besides clear bluetooth cache which doesn't show that option. Any suggestions as it has happened several times? Today is day 14 with the phone and hard to love it but hard to return it as well.
When I connect to my car's BT radio or my living room's BT speaker I am given the option to allow Phone, Media or both. I don't want to pick up calls via the speaker so I disable Phone. On my car I want to both be able to pick up calls and play music so I leave both options enabled.
Have you checked what options you have selected under BT settings?

Ok I am going to ask this question because there are way to many bluetooth programs here and I need to find a specific one.
All I want is for when I turn my headset on and its connected to my phone I want it to transfer the sounds to the headset and pull the microphone from the headset. So when its connected it immediately sends the sound to the headset; Not just in call sounds. I mean all sounds. I am using VITO VOice command so I just need it to send the sound to the headset and pull the microphone form the headset. Also I need it to send teh sound back to the headset after a call as well if a call is happening while using the headset for sound.
Can this be done?

Thanks nir36, I've just tried BTaudio but, unfortunately, it doesn't seem to reconnect the audio gateway after a call ends.

What I use is a program called BtMusic (available here: http://maxmobilesoft.com/index.php/software/btmusic). It is shareware, I think, but does pop up a message box when opening the program and every 5 or so times the gateway is established. I believe you can donate to get rid of these prompts, but you'd have to ask the author through that website. It isn't annoying if you don't need to keep reconnecting very often. BtMusic seems to have some advantages:
1. Reconnects automatically after a call ends.
2. Does not need the headset to be turned on before being enabled - it waits for the headset to connect and connects the gateway when it is found (you can therefore leave BtMusic running in the background and just turn on and off the headset as needed!).
3. Supports stereo headsets.
All the best,
Martin
Anybody have any other ideas?
I have my phone setup with my car and quality is great, but i can't figure out how to set the phone to auto switch to a bluetooth device for all calls once it's connected. Is there a way to do this?
My calls go to my bluetooth headset when the headset is already connected. My issue is that the phone doesn't automatically connect to the headset upon power on/boot up. This is the first phone I've had that does this and I don't like it.

It should be automatic, I think (or at least, in the BT devices settings). If not, try Tasker,

I don't get it. My phone auto connects for me. Did it with the tunelink in my car today and the past few weeks, did it for 4 days with my friends ford car with sync and does it at work with many different devices when I get near them.

I'm not sure I 100% get what you want. Are you saying you get the BT connection in your car but it won't send the calls to it? Your phone rings instead?
I can tell when my phone locks into my car's BT because the screen in my car indicates it. All calls then get redirected to the car's system.
My phone automatically connects when I start my car. Calls that I pickup with my steering will buttons route through to bluetooth. All that is fine. My problem is making outgoing calls. I have a feedback dial that is a pain to dial from. I like using the 1 touch calling on my phone much more - except when I dial through the phone, it never pushes to bluetooth. After connecting, I can switch to bluetooth, but I have to manually use the touchscreen to get it going. Is there any way that it can auto connect using bluetooth when I dial from my phone?
Weird, my phone automatically uses bluetooth even when I dial my from my phone. This is true for both my car's bluetooth and my bluetooth headphones. Maybe it's a setting in your car?

Did you check through the phone settings? I think there are some bluetooth settings in there.
I'm stumped, BT calls used to work fine until I reset the OPO to fix something else. Now, the phone pairs fine and all other aspects of BT connected to a car stereo work fine EXCEPT the caller can't hear me. I can voice dial just fine so I know the phone is able to hear me and the mic works but once a call connects either incoming or outgoing I can't talk to the caller unless I switch to the handset. I've paired and repaired numerous times, and like I said before, factory reset the device. Not sure what's going on. I know it's not the car stereo as my Nexus 5 works fine.
Thoughts?
I am having issues figuring out how to best manage bluetooth on my device.
I use a bluetooth headset, and separate bluetooth headphones.
I am having the following problems:
1. If I am on a call and my headphones are on lying on my desk from an earlier music session, when I answer the call it goes to headphones. Thats OK, but sometimes I just want to speak on the phone. So I hit the bluetooth icon on my call screen to just speak into the handset. This works but after a few seconds it automatically keeps connecting unless I turn off the headphones. Is there any way to keep this from happening other than switching it off (which sometimes is a pain since it may be packed away in a bag, etc.)
2. Similar problem except between bluetooth devices. The call may get answered by my headset, and then during the call it ends up switching to the headphones. Is there any way to prioritize between two different bluetooth audio devices that are both connected in terms of which one you prefer to handle the phone calls?
Thanks.
I don't know what I changed, but I can't figure this one out.
Typically, when I have my plantronics headset connected, when the phone rings,
I hear my default ringtone (unless it is someone I have a specific ringtone attached)
When my bluetooth is OFF, the ringer is correct.
When I turn on and connect my plantronics voyager 5200, I get a very obnoxious LOUD
generic ringtone coming from somewhere.
I've uninstalled anything I can think of, that might have messed it up (Truecaller, plantronics
app, Contacts +). I don't know what I changed, but I'd like to get it back how I had it.
Any ideas??
TIA!
Figured it out finally.
Phone dialer, settings, turn off VOICE BROADCAST OF INCOMING CALLS. Only when headset is connected.
