With Android, is it possible to answer WhatsApp voice calls using bluetooth earbuds or headsets?
I have tried various bluetooth earbuds and headsets that include a mic and with several Android phones such as Xiaomi Mi A2 and a OnePlus 8T and nothing seems to work.
I can answer normal cellular voice calls using these devices with no issue. Just WhatsApp is the problem. It's frustration because most of my calls are via WhatsApp these days. I have to get the phone out of my pocket or bag and hit the answer button. It's a pain and inconvenient.
My friend with an iPhone does not have this problem using Apple earbuds.
Is this a limitation of WhatsApp?
I have some Jabra 85t earbuds paired with a OnePlus 8T - both powerful and modern hardware and yet this stupid simple software issue seems to let me down
You might also experience issues with WhatsApp calls if you use a battery saver or Bluetooth connection. If your battery saver or Bluetooth is enabled, please disable them and install the FM Whatsapp APK if you do not install it yet in your mobile. Because FM Whatsapp is the modified verison of official whatsapp which somes a lot of features which you must like them.
Thanks for your reply.
Firstly, as mentioned these are wireless devices that use Bluetooth so disabling a fundamental component is definitely not going to help this issue.
Secondly, asking people to install an app from an unknown source is very dangerous. Personal chats can contain sensitive information. I definitely will not be installing FM WhatsApp. Who knows what organizations the author is linked to.
Just an update that I changed my phone to Google Pixel 6 and the Jabra earbuds work with WhatsApp nicely, I can answer calls with one button press just like regular cell calls.
My conclusion is that there is something in the OnePlus 8T that prevents this.

It is recommended to troubleshoot such issues by checking your network connection, updating the app to the latest version, and ensuring that you have sufficient internet bandwidth to make the call.

I am using the HBH-DS980 bluetooth headset with my Nokia 6300 phone. I desperately need on the following questions,
1. After pairing and connecting, the contacts lists shows up as empty in the headset. How can I enable the bluetooth headset to read my phone's contacts?
2. When I receive a call the caller ID only shows the number of the caller and not his/her name as stored in the contacts. How can I fix this?
3. The auto-connect feature doesnt seem to work well. After connection, if I take my phone away from range for a while and then come back the re-connection does not happen automatically after any amount of time. I have set my phone to auto-connect with Bluetooth headset without confirmation. Still it does not work. How can I fix this.
Please help.
On this site people talk mostly about Windows Mobile phones made by HTC and AFAIK this is not the case with the Nokia 6300... (I could be wrong and this wouldn't be the first time).
I suggest you post your questions at Nokia Discussions or Esato.
Hi. I'm having a very strange issue. I'm using Blackview's BV9100, a fairly generic MediaTek-based Chinese rugged phone, on Straight Talk Wireless (AT&T network). I flashed an Android 11 generic system image (pphusson's "pph-Treble"), and everything works great, EXCEPT: When making or receiving calls, there is no audio unless I connect a bluetooth audio device. Call audio works fine through a bluetooth audio device (though I get a pretty intense echo of my own voice), and if I then disconnect the device during a call, the call audio will come through the phone's speakers completely like normal. Audio calls and media playback work in other apps, just not Phone. Does this sound like a familiar issue to anyone? Its really weirdly specific and hard to Google, especially with my weird combo of phone and software.
Phone call audio will also play correctly through the phone's speakers when the phone is connected to a bluetooth device which does not support call audio, like my Amazon Echo. Also, I had to factory reset today, and received a phone call before restoring my backup, and this phone call functioned completely like normal, no weird bluetooth workarounds required. I tried withdrawing permissions to access phone calls from apps that don't need it, but no go.
Any ideas?
Try opening a issue on this page. Phhusson will himself help you out. Just ask how to take logs and provide the logs immediately. He will solve the issue in the new built

I just got the feedback from several people that they hear me very muffled/bassy via Telegram/WhatsApp Video Call. I used the recorder and took a sample to verify the issue. I think compared to my OnePlus 6 the microphone quality is very bad. I already had issues on my OnePlus 6 that used the wrong (rear) Microphone in Teams for conferences and I'm kind of disappointed there is an issue with the mic again. Did you test your mic and what is your experience so far?
You are the first one reporting that problem. Maybe you have a connected bluetooth device? My call audio quality has been nothing but excellent
No I don't have connected anything via bluetooth.
Did you check for any application which may have influence on your microphone? Maybe it got transferred from the OnePlus 6.
The only app that interacts with the Mic is Spectroid but it does not run as service. I don't think any software is causing it. Telegram, Whatsapp, Calling App also use the Mic of course. I reinstalled also Telegram.
A friend thinks that on whatsapp the sound is better than on telegram. But I don't know if it is subjective opinion.
Your losing the higher frequencies which need a direct audio pathway more than the lower ones.
A blocked or partially blocked mic port.
Hi all,
Please can an 8T user confirm if the stock OxygenOS supports Bluetooth in-band ringtones?
IOW, when you receive an incoming call, does whatever ringtone you set on the phone also play in the Bluetooth headset, or does the headset just play it's own sound?
I'm thinking of buying this phone
It does on my phone at least.

Awesome! Thanks for answering my question.
This is an essential feature for me as I use Tasker to announce the name of the caller in my Bluetooth headset, so I know who is calling me at work without taking my phone out of my pocket.
Caller name announcer apps won't work over Bluetooth on phones/headsets that don't support in-band ringtones.
My last phone was a Xiaomi - this feature seems to be disabled in Xiaomi phones for some reason.
Gonna purchase an 8T today
Hey everybody,
Every incoming notification stops the music eg. in Spotify or YouTube music, as the HU seems to automatically switch to Bluetooth music. Tried it with several smartphones. Anyone have an idea how to solve the problem?
Thanks to you

What did the seller suggest when contacted for support. What has been tried to resolve the problem
Seller is chinese, no answer after some support questions via whatsapp.
Tried another launcher and another smartphone.
In your phone bluetooth settings go to your head unit connection, I have 4 options: Calls, Audio, Contact access and Message Access. Try to switch off Audio option. If it is switchd off already I have no more idea.
That's a great idea and it worked. Unfortunately, I also listen to downloaded Youtube videos via Bluetooth, so this is not an option for me. But basically it works, thanks for that.
I have another idea which works for me:
I installed MacroDroid so that the wifi hotspot is always automatically activated and deactivated when I am connected to the FYT via Bluetooth. I added another action which sets the smartphone to "vibrate only".

I use MacroDroid as well to do exactly the same with my private motorola.
On my business Samsung I use the Bixby routines to do the same (and for once the Samsung bloatware is useful ).
