Something odd was going on with my Kaiser today. I always use my headset for calls and today when I made calls it automatically turned into speaker mode and I couldn't talk through the mic on the headset, but I can still listen. The speaker was on all the time and I didn't even turn it on. After I restarted the phone it was fine.
Has this ever happened to anyone? and what is the reason for that?
I get the same but only on the initial pairing of the device.
Unlike you however, I actually WANT to know how to activate this "feature"
For instance, I have tomtom on it, it would be great to have the voice coming through my car speakers via bluetooth
It's done it once accidently but never could replicate it again
well.. I was listening to music on my phone and the sound was still going through the headset, but I had no idea the speaker was also playing the music.. everyone was staring at me on the train and now I know why..

I've searched everywhere, and couldn't find anything on this...
A few weeks ago, my girlfriend got me the Motorola S9 for my Tilt, I hooked it up, and realized sound was only coming out of the left ear... So, I searched google about the problem and found out a few people seem to have had that problem, and to just replace the S9... Well, I recently did (After the AT&T store found it fun to hassle me over exchanging ...) and The newer one has the same exact problem.
I've paried it and repaired it, soft reset the phone... turned the bluetooth headset off and than back on after setting it and nothing, sound only comes out of the left ear, however i know the right ear is working cause when i have an incoming call, both outputs ring, as well as beep when I hit the various controls on the S9. I also can hear a wooshing type noise when i'm talking or listening to music on the device (which gives me a headache, as only listening with one ear is annoying)
is there any type of software fix I could get to fix this? i'd hate to have the return the s9 again...

I am running slueth's windows mobile 6.1. when I call the conversatoin only occurs in the left earpiece, when I use steroe its fine
ok, so I just noticed something really annoying. I just came back from my daily running and it was the first time I used the diamond with my stereo bluetooth philips headset for this instead of the ipod.
as soon as I started running and the diamond jumped up and down in my pocket the music started stuttering like crazy. like the old days when I had a cd player without shock memory
first I thought this had something to do with sensor lock running, but I uninstalled it and the problem is still there. I now tried to reproduce the stuttering when at home and it seems to be connected to the distance. when I hold the phone close to the bluetooth headset and start shaking the phone like crazy nothing happens. as soon as I move it down to my pockets it begins stuttering when I rapidly move the phone around.
I tried searching the forums but couldnt really find anything stutter related when it comes to motion. I'm not sure if this has something to do with the motion sensor or with my headphones weak bluetooth receiver...
any suggestions are welcome here, I'm a bit baffled by this whole thing.

Stuttering?
Sounds more likely to be your headphones. I use Motorola S9 bluetooth headphones and have no issue with the sound jumping, skipping or anything... unless I leave my Diamond in the house and walk down the garden! I'm not sure whether all Diamonds have the same bluetooth hardware. If some incarnations have different hardware, this might be the issue.
Can you 'borrow' a mates' headphones to see if you get the same result?
Perhaps one of the techno wizards here can let us know if there are any differences in the bluetooth hardware between various Diamond devices?
thanks for your answer. I'll try to find someone with another bluetooth headset.
I hope it's not hardware related. can you tell me what radio version and rom you got running? maybe there's a difference here.
sounds like its a problem with the bluetooth range, if you shake the phone when its near the headset it doesnt make trouble but when its more far away you get problems, so i would think it get out of transmission range.
no problem here with bluetooth on shaking

what bluetooth headset do you have? the weird thing is, if I lay the phone flat on a table I can walk about 10 meters before I get any stuttering. why would shaking the phone reduce that range to about 1 meter?! that doesnt make any sense..
Lay your phone on the table walk around and shake yourself/headset and u will see it comes from ur headset.
Mine is plantronics dunno the specs can look tomorow as there is nothing on the headset.

EDIT: if not i think the bloodtooth has a loose connection ?! But that shouldnt be on that onebrick device
Hi,
i have a problem with the notifications when headphones are plugged in. When i receive an email/message etc the headphones go quiet, i've always found this normal because my music is dimmed to let me hear the notification sound.
today i came to realise that the music is not actually dimmed. it actually stops output via headphones and uses the loudspeaker instead. this is probably annoying for other passengers on the tube.
anyway to change that so it stays on headphones? or do i have to wait for an update?
can others check if they have the same problem please?
thanks.

This horrible bug has impacted the stock firmware since the gs3 was released. CM sort of fixes it so it definitely isn't a hardware issue. I called Samsung to complain and they told me it was a feature. Funny, because all it ever does is cause problems. My HTC devices work fine with headphone notifications... Also you may notice that if you have your headphone connector plugged into your aux input in your car, AND Bluetooth hands free, that stock firmware will require you to unplug the cable while driving to hear the sound over Bluetooth. Another thing that HTC got right and Samsung failed on.
Samsung failed big time on this. I discovered this stupid bug when I had just received my S3 and had the headset plugged into it while working in the office. Every fcking time I got a message/email/notification the phone speaker would go off and after 4th time or so of the notification sound going off, colleagues at work got pissed and told me to shut the sound.
I had no idea why it did that, when I have the headphones plugged in I expect the phone to be completely silent. Apparently Samsung disagrees
Anyways, I found a fix and it's called SoundAbout, available in the playstore. You can set it up so ANY sound comes exclusively out of the headphones when they're plugged in. I ultimately switched to an AOSP rom because the app requires a service running in the background, which takes some ram. my i9300 was already at it's limits with free ram so this was a trade off, but with the i9305 this shouldn't be a problem at all.
Really don't understand why they don't fix or opt to make this a feature. Also, all the samsung based custom roms here also seem to incorporate that bug/"feature"
Hi everybody. I have the t mobile moto x 32gb on ATT. Works great ..the best phone no questions. I have an older car with aftermarket JVC unit with bluetooth capabilities inluding A2DP(which works great by the way) but the microphone of the JVC is not good so I don't use it for phone calls. I had that issue before where after the phone being connected to the car and disconnected (when I leave the car) the sound is super low it shows max but it is not(the moto x has great crisp and loud sound both on the earpiece and the speaker), so I have to restart the phone and this will fix my issue..but since I am not using it much I was ok with it...Now I have a 2010 Prius with blueetooth handsfree calling but no A2DP(that is ok with me I can use the AUX). The microphone on the Prius is great people are saying they hear me great and so do I. But now I am facing that issue again..
Is anyone familiar with that ? It is really annoying that I leave the car where I was in a conversation with great sound I lock my car and walk on a busy street and cant here what people are saying no matter if I am using the speakerphone or the earpiece..I have to tell them that will call them back in a minute after I restart my phone.
PLEASE HELP !
THANKS
Anything ?
Try persist+ from play?
Bluetooth volumes have been haunted ever since 4.4. Hell... plugging in the charger when I am on my vehicle's bluetooth changes the volume.
Hoping this finally get this fixed in 4.4.3, but until then, I have found a number of tricks.
1.) There is a sweet spot on the volume scale (around 70%) that is best to leave it at.
2.) I haven't had to restart my phone... usually just cycling BT off and on again restores original volume. Sometimes even starting/stopping media playback fixes it.
I can confirm to have the same problem. Hope it'll be solved in next updates.
Edited to provide additional details.

Hey guys, tonight I noticed that the audio on my (stock ROM) Nexus 6 quit working. Sort of.
Bluetooth seems to work fine. Speakers plugged into headphone jack are fine. Regular media (music, navigation, Youtube app, etc.) or regular phone call at my ear, I get no audio.
BUT IF I turn on speakerphone then I have audio. The ringer works normally, the alarm works, the countdown timer alarm works.... basically anything designed to be LOUD works.
Also, strangely, if I'm not on speakerphone then the phone mic doesn't work either, which means no dictating text messages or anything like that.
What gives? My 1 year-old did SPLASH the phone earlier while playing with it near the dog dish, but I thought these things were splashproof. (?) Also, if I killed the mic hardware then I would think it'd be dead all the time, and not work on speakerphone.
Repeated reboots have not helped. The problem persists in safe mode. Did he somehow kill a speaker-mic combo? If so, which part do I need? (I've had this thing open twice before, it's not too bad.)
Thanks!
