Hi,
I have a weird issue with what I would call - priority of Bluetooth devices in making phone calls.
Setup:
- Poco X3 Pro on the latest MIUI revision (12.5.2)
- car - Ford audio, Sync 3.4 patched yesterday to latest build, however the problem existed earlier
- Huawei Watch GT2.
Huawei Watch and Ford are paired with my phone.
The problem is affecting ability to use Ford's BT handsfree mode and talk through car's speakers and mic.
Issue #1:
- phone connected via BT to the car, no USB cable in use
- incoming calls - they are presented by car's audio system, I'm accepting the call, the conversation starts, car's audio (CD or FM radio) is muted but the call stays in phone, I need to manually pick up phone, go into active connection screen and move audio output to Ford BT device
- outgoing calls - same issue as with incoming calls
Issue #2
- phone connected with USB cable to the car audio system, Android Auto kicks in and enables BT in phone if it was switched off
- incoming calls - they are presented by car's audio system, I'm accepting the call, the conversation starts, car's audio (CD or FM radio) is muted but the call stays in phone, I can't use my phone, to go into active connection screen and move audio output to Ford BT device as it's now blocked by Andorid Auto, when I try to do the same on my car's touchscreen, using the AA phone app, Ford BT device is not even visible as available option
- outgoing calls - same issue as with incoming calls.
It happens very rarely that the phone connection audio ends up in my Huawei Watch.
When I turn off my Huwei Watch while driving the car - there is absolutely no issue, all connections properly end up in car's audio system.
I've found a workaround - found an app which presents a widget on the screen allowing to end and reestablish BT connection to my car. But as every workaround it has a drawback, I need to perform the operation twice, not even saying of taking the phone out of my pocket etc.
There was also no issue when I was using my previous phone LG G6 with Android Pie and AA installed from apk file. The car and watch were the same as now and there was absolutely no issue with phone calls being not redirected to car audio.
Can anyone share any insights on how to fix it ? It looks like some flaw in Android' or MIUI's logic to push phone call stream to the BT device which actually initiated/accepeted the call.
Thanks in advance for help.
Same here with a SEAT bluetooth system.
I discover that the problem is in the health app, if you disable permisions to telephone, contacts and registry of calls, it works, but you loose de number identification of incoming calls in the watch and you can't call through the watch.
Regards.
That's a huge lost TBH, do you suggest it's a bug on Huawei end ? Why did it work properly when I was using LG G6 on Android Pie ?
maybe....it's a bug with app of Huawei and android 11, i had a Mate 20 before the poco and never had this issue but the mate 20 have android 10...
P.D: If you see, when you make a call, the selector of audio source in the call panel variety very fast with watch and speaker...
regards.
Yes, I observed it too - when I answer the call, the audio output device selector makes some quick changes.

Apsolutly same trouble.
Same phone, same watch, but car is Peugeot.
Is anyone found a solution?

I built myself a Desire HD / Inspire 4G dock for my car, with USB (for power) and and 3.5mm jack (for audio through car stereo). My phone is also connected to my car via Bluetooth for phone calls.
When I initiate a call through the car, no problem.
When I receive and answer a call through the car's interface, no problem.
When I make a call through the phone interface however, it defaults to using the "headset" (even though it's just a standard audio cable...no mic), and I have to manually switch it to bluetooth every time. This is annoying for me, and especially for those I call when I forget to do this.
Is there any way to force the phone to default to bluetooth for calls?
I have an HTC Surround running 7.10.7720.68 Mango juicy goodness. The one glaring problem I have is w/ speech-to-text. When I connect my handset to my car's bluetooth setup I can make phone calls w/ out any issues. When I try to use the new speech-to-text feature, the microphone on my Surround becomes disabled and I cannot communicate w/ the phone via speech. For example, I receive a text message and get the "You can say: read it, or ignore" auditory response through my car's speakers. But, when I respond, nothing is being registered on the Phone ( I can tell this by watching the "DB" levels represented on the screen when in voice recognition mode). I've tried all the options in the speech "settings" category i.e. bluetooth + headset, bluetooth only, and always on. My wife has the Samsung Focus v1.3 running the same Mango build and her handset will accept voice commands when paired via bluetooth in my vehicle. I can't figure out why my Surround will not perform this task. Any ideas
If you car doesn't have a microphone built in, then that's the issue.
The phone is attempting to use the bluetooth microphone (which you (perhaps) don't have).
My 2008 VW GTI does have built-in stereo microphones. I use the mics to make and receive phone calls via bluetooth on a daily basis, but it's not working w/ the Surround when I try to use the text to speech feature. My wife's Focus works w/ no issues. Anybody else have any ideas?
Problem: Whenever I enable my wifi hotspot it causes my bluetooth audio to fail after approximately 5 min.
Example: In the car on car audio talking. Now enable to the hotspot for a wifi device (both services running on my phone at the same time). It works fine for a few min but then my I suddenly can't hear the person on the other end of the bluetooth call.
Troubleshooting:
1. If I turn off the wifi hotspot, the bluetooth audio will reconnect after about a min and I can hear the caller again.
2. If I have a bluetooth call going, the call does not drop. The other person is still there but just I can't hear them, they continue to hear me talking the whole time. The bluetooth devices stays connected - only the audio in is lost while audio out continues to work normally.
3. I have reprovisioned my phone with a new stock rom and tried it from a clean install before loading any third party apps and I get the same thing.

Admittedly, I have not experimented with other blutooth devices only the connection to my car audio. The problem could be with my car bluetooth but I have never had connection issues with the car audio connected to any other bluetooth device.
I read an article that wifi and bluetooth can interfere with one another. But this only happens when both services are enable on the same phone (My HTC Amaze) at the same time. Wierd and frustrating because I have to kill my hotspot if I am going to receive a call and use bluetooth.

may try a new bt device
I use my N5 in my car which has built-in bluetooth (Ford Focus, 2011 w/ sync).
The in-car speakerphone mode works great. However, the car doesn't send audio to the phone other than during a call. And since the phone sees a BT headset connected, it disables its own mic. So things like google now and voice commands don't work. And the car does voice-commanded dialing through its own phonebook rather than the phone's phonebook. So I have to regularly sync the two to keep the car's database updated.
Is there a way to have the N5 use the car only as a A2DP and AVRCP device, until a phone call comes in, and then switch over to a headset profile? That way I could still use the phone's mic for voice commands but have the car's speakers/mic handle calls.

I think you can do it with Utter! and Tasker.

Not sure what utter is needed for - I will look into getting tasker to do it.
Hello all
One of the issues I have with Bluetooth on this phone is that the controls aren't granular enough. I want to be able to make and answer phone calls in my car using the Bluetooth connectivity, however, when I turn Bluetooth on, Google Now and Maps also try to send their audio to the car speakers, and either A) you can barely hear the voice, or B) it doesn't work at all and I hear nothing (this is especially true when I'm playing other music media in the car that isn't coming from the phone).
Is there any way (or is there an app) that can redirect Google Now and Maps to continue to use the phone speaker, while phone calls can go through the car? Right now it seems like it's the same setting to control both phone calls and audio output from apps.
