[Q] Headset Microphone - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I profusely apologize if this is answered somewhere else. I have searched all over Google and this forum for an answer to no luck.
I am running CM7.1 on my Captivate and love it. The only issue I have is the headset microphone does not work. At first I thought it was the headset so I bought another set and same thing. I plugged both into an iphone and they work perfect. It worked perfect with the stock rom. I am a heavy headset user and it drives me crazy to have to pull the headset out and talk on the phone then put the headset back in. I would love to get this fixed without having to go back to the stock.
Is there a fix, or another Rom that the microphone on the headset works?

Ask this in the Dedicated CM7 Q&A Stickies.

Hurley_Man, best to ask your question here. Good luck with it!

Bluetooth Earpiece

I just purchased a bluetooth earpiece for my IIi in the hopes that I could stream music through it. APPARENTLY, the BT device only suppors the handsfree profile, which means all it's good for is to relay PHONE CALLS. I don't use the phone that often so it seems that I wasted my money. Anyone know a solution to get the phone to reroute music to the BT device if it's possible?
many possible solutions to your problem
There are many possible solutions to your problem and many software. Go to the following blog by Menneisyys (the expert!!) and look for a blog that tells you everything about redirecting audio to headsets.

You rock! I will definitely check that site out, thanks a bunch!
EDIT: Argh, I am an idiot. I tried a crapload of tweaks to get it to play on my earpiece when all it took...get this, was a push of the function button on the earpiece. The icon on screen immediately changed, and now I'm listening to Jingle Bell Rock at pretty decent quality on my headset. Thanks anyways peeps!
Great to be of help.. Merry Christmas... Now, don't you want listen to Jingle Bell Rock in Stereo instead of mono? It's also working fine now, just that you will have to find the correct hack for your phone.. It took me 6 months to get mine..

a2dp/Bluetooth stereo issues

First post so go easy guys. I was able to flash a ROM and a few other things with no questions using search and just doing the leg work. I am sure the answer to my question is right under my nose but I haven't been able to word it correctly or something.
I have a Tilt using Dutty's 5.2.19716ROM (4/29/08). I am also using radio 1.65.14.06. I never changed it because everything was working rather well and didn't see the point.
Here is my problem. I have a motorola S9. In it's profile it is showing both wireless stereo and hands free. Ok now sound is actually very good and range is nice but it is not in stereo. I can maybe hear just a twinge of music in one ear but I am not sure, the other sounds like a champ. I can hear and answer incoming calls but no one can hear me on the other end. Lastly I can answer calls and use the volume keys on the headset but not any of the media player controls work, (next track, previous track, play/pause). Also skipping or lag is there but not that bad at all.
I tried the setting suggestion in the registry that was supposed to be set to "0" to turn on stereo but it was already at "0". (sorry forgot the path).
Thanks so much for any help in the right direction.
I am thinking about changing the radio. Also I am going to test the headset to make sure it isn't the problem. I have seen that most people haven't noticed any difference by changing the ROM. Anyone think it could be a radio issue?
I feel stupid as I tried to test the headset right away but didn't have a phone that was A2DP capable handy. I got my old phone a Sony w580i and set it up with the headset and it had the exact same problem. I am assuming that it must be a faulty headset? This reminds me of real life. I am talking to myself and answering my own questions.
thats the way to go... step by step troubleshooting...

Bluetooth Headset Audio

Hello all
I recently put 4.2.11.1 on my G1. Now when I pair my headset with the phone. The audio is still transfered though my phone. Is this a known issue? is there a fix?
Tech Specs
Handset: G1 w/Cyanogen 4.2.11.1
Headset: Samsung WEP470
The headset worked fine with stock 1.6
The headset appears to pair fine, even verified the bluetooth 'button' is selected while in a call. Still audio goes through the handset and not the headset.
This really is my only issue I love cyanogen so far and hope that the Nexus One is cracked fairly soon after release.
I have the exact same issue with a parrot ck2100-bluetooth hansfree, also running latest cyanogen
I've had this issue and other Bluetooth audio problems under the last several CM releases (See http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=819). When audio fails to go through the headset as you describe, turning the headset off and then on again often fixes it. If that doesn't help, then turning the headset off, toggling Bluetooth off and then on, and then turning on the headset usually works.
hrmm, hope this can get fixed I may have to abandon Cyanogen. I have to field call via bluetooth when I work from home.
usually this happens once a week for my bluetooth if i keep toggling BT on and off several times (usually do it if i forget my BT headset). easy fix. not a serious problem with me.
like the person above said: just turn toggle BT off then on, it should connect fine. if not, what i do is go through the settings and unpair them and pair, it should connect to the phone's audio. rinse and repeat.
not a serious bug that should keep anyone away from a certain rom... especially Cyans
Yall in the wrong forum ppl
If its an issue concerning Cy's rom go in his thread n follow the link to submite the issue.
If u trying to solve the problem go in Q&A and ask there or CY's thread.
This has nothing to do with development.
moved to Q&A
I am also having this issue.
I am having a parot c3100 and it pairs fine. But the sound is send to my phone instead of over my car audio system.
I tried bluetooth+headphone fix, but that doesn't help either.
It looks like every cyanogen (based) rom does have this issue ....
Does anybody have other ideas to get it fixed ?

[Q]&Discussion: Bluetooth headset again

Hey guys. Im having trouble with my plantronics explorer 390 bluetooth headset. I get the pairing ok, they both (headset and g1) recognize each other and when I call it says that its using/sending through the headset. Just that the sound still comes normally through the phone instead. The headset sounds like it starts the speaker in it, since low noise can be heard.
Tried putting restarting both bluetooth, headset and phone in all kinds of orders. Been googling and searching on xda plus in this biffmod thread, but all I find is how to get music through a mono headset and such. Otherwise unanswered questions.
This may be something just not working or already solved problem, but please share your help and info. Thanks!
----------------------------------------------
Seems like a lot of people have asked and are having/have been having the same problem since the beginning. And no solution that worked for them all seems to have been found. I thought people with similar problems could also join in the discussion and share.
SO lets share our configs/roms and headset calling problems, and see if we can figure anything out. Thanks!
Android ftw!

[HELP] use internal phone mic on Bluetooth

Hi,
I have samsung vibrant, and have car stereo with bt handsfree, the problem is that the microphone of the car stereo has bad quality, the other side can't hear me.
The vibrant's mic is very good even if the phone is far away
My question is how I can disable bluetooth mic and use the phone internal one? Only the audio from the phone will be routed to the car stereo?
I searched all over the net but nothing, just a lot that searching solution like me.
Searched in android api for microphone disable,there is only mute procedure, no route/disabling.
Maybe some hack, I played with audio service menu of the sgs not found something there
Don't want use aux port for this
Please developers put attention that thing is usefull for a lot of users
Thanks
