[Q] Bluetooth Microphone and Skype/VOIP - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I would like to use my Galaxy Tab 7 as a secondary phone using Skype/VOIP over 3G.
I have flashed the device with the Overcome 3.1 ROM and everything is working great except when I try and make Skype calls it uses the devices microphone instead of the Mic on the Bluetooth Headset.

I cant believe I am the only one who is having this issue. Anyone want to jump in on this? I would assume this is a MUST HAVE feature.

Try the app called "Super BT mono"

There is an older beta version out that one can test.. but I haven't tried making any calls yet.
The super old Skype Lite b=Beta is working fine on *some* SGS firmwares.
You can download it here: http://www.freewarelovers.com/android/app/skype-lite-beta
Nope.
Nimbizz just doesn't work for me, fring lost support, skype beta is only for skype to skype, and the "real" skype only works on Verizon... I was hoping that someone could crack it, but, it seems to be restricted by more than just the provider name...
They keep saying that a full version will be released later this year, but as it's a legal/political and not a technical issue, I'm not holding my breath.

Just use Sipdroid. Works like a charm and with any Sip provider, and there are a lot that are way cheaper than Skype.
Or if you are in the US just use the Google Voice app.
The issue is for non US users .

[Q] Music autoplay after call ended while using Bluetooth headset?!?!

Hi all,
Did anyone experience this? While using a bluetooth headset, after call ended, music will autoplay?
I'm using DELL BH200, and am on unrooted stock 2.3.6. No other music player installed, just the stock player.
Google around but unable to find a solution...
Anyway to disable this annoying autoplay?
Regards,
Silverbold17
Annoying autoplay?
You must be one of the few ones around who doesn't want this great feature.

Not that I don't want this feature, but auto play after every single call ended is really annoying...especially if you're using your BT headset for phone call purposes...

I had this problem with my Atrix and my Infuse. I use Bluetooth thru my truck stereo for all calls. I posted a request for help in the Atrix forums. Someone suggested using an app called Autorun Manager . I did not try it because I sold my Atrix soon after the request.
Hope this helps
Just my 2¢

Had seen this suggestion on other forum but it seems like Autorun Manager require ROOT access which I don't have on my stock 2.3.6...

Only one problem....the tablet is making the calls and the calls are connecting but I am unable to hear anything in-call through my BT headset. Once the call connects and starts dialing all sound cuts out. Could this be a result of the microphone issues found in custom ROMs?

Stock ROMs are the only ones where all the hardware actually works.

Google voice in US
I tried all sorts of VoIP clients, but always came back to CSipSimple. It is actually far beyond the others.
I saw that this one is the only one (I might be wrong), which has implemented option for BT SCO use.
Regarding the bad quality of the sound: It is usually codec / bandwidth related, and also the Clock rate must be set correctly if using your carrier service!
Example:
I use my operator (Mobitel's) VoIP subscription service daily, so my settings for WiFi only are:
Network settings:
Enable STUN.....yes ....STUN server: voip.xxxxxxx.xx
Media settings:
Echo cancellation....yes
Codec priority list per bandwidth.....yes
Codecs for fast connection
Opus 48 kHz
SILK 24 kHz
ISAC 16 kHz
....
Codecs for slow connection
G729 8 kHz
SILK 8 kHz
PCMU 8 kHz
PCMA 8 kHz
This things can be complicated sometimes....
I tested CSipSimple also on AOKP and CM ====> It worked without any problems.
OK well my setup is as follows: running PA legacy build on WiFi ONLY p3113. I just want to be able to use my tablet as a "backup" phone as long as I'm on my web connection at home. I've tried the apps mentioned is this thread (except the one from the previous post) and none of them produce sound through my BT headset.

I have always run in to issues using Google Voice or GrooveIP for calls on my Tab 2 7. I use AOSP ROMs like PA and CM. I'd love to use it for sales calls at work. Is there any trick to getting Google Voice off the ground?
Viber has potential..
even with EDGE network
I'm wondering if the lack of radio in the p3113 model has anything to do with why I can't get anything past one dial tone's worth of sound through my BT headset. I know the call is going through to the phone I call, but once the call starts dialing I'm not hearing anything at all through the BT.

I get this too with some roms on the same headphones, not sure why.
It might be that bluetooth is not working correctly on your particular build.
You might want to post a bugreport with a logcat on the nightly thread.

not sure if plantronics model you are using has features similar to mine.
i have plantronics voyager pro hd which when connected via usb to pc with browser open to plantronics web site, it gets firmware updates and allows settings changes for the headset.
i used the plantronics web tool to turn off the features that control the headset behavior based on position of headset - it interfered with phone calls.

Skype issue on 5.1.1

Sorry for the new thread but I wasn't exactly getting any attention in the other threads where i asked for assistance.
Without earphones, skype calls work fine.
However, with earphones, the other party cannot hear me. I have tried the Echo test, which failed as well. But the echo test works without earphones. I can even record audio with the earphones but it doesn't work on skype. I have tried with two different earphones and yet the same result.
Do any of you guys have the same problem on 5.1.1? It was fine on 5.0.2.

Anyone? I could really use some help or some confirmation that it's a bug
Sent from my D5833 using XDA Free mobile app
I can confirm this. Headset microphone is not working with Skype. It should be noted that I did not do factory reset after 5.1.1, perhaps that will fix things?

Wow this is actually a huge issue. Maybe skype hasn't been updated to support 5.1.1 or something?
And no, i clean flashed too. Didn't make a difference. You will also notice that the mic stops working the moment you enable video on viber -_- i tried two different firmwares and still the same problem

I'm using Oovoo to make video calls for now but skype really is better. And oovoo is more costly in terms of internet usage

I can confirm this too. After 5.1.1 update on Z3C, I went mute on facebook messenger voice calls with headset.
I did the Xperia mic diagnostics, that went OK with headset, tried the echo123 on Skype with headset = no sound, without headset using the device mic, it was OK.
I tried several combinations of noise canceling / mic sensitivity settings with no success.
Luckily regular phone calls work with headset.
I bought recently Sony STH-30 headset to be sure it will work with Xperia phone.
UPDATE: I found a workaround, connecting headset AFTER establishing a call.
Please, confirm anyone if it works for you, thx

No fix. But you can try the methods in this thread. See if it works for you. Doesn't work for me >.> even the sony people over at talk.sonymobile.com are not saying anything to help

it worked for me. What I do is just let the other party answer me first (Skype) and then plug in the headset. But my question is how long will it be like this? my worries is I might destroy the headset plug. Would downgrading to kitkat solve it.

Yes downgrading works. Even 5.0.2 works. The issue lies with 5.1.1. Even plugging the headset afterwards doesn't seem to work for me. Absurd

It has been solved with the latest update from Sony. The .1.200 firmware which is the latest one available now. Also, this update dramatically improves battery life. Reminds me of kitkat.
