[Q] Bluetooth Microphone and Skype/VOIP

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"

Easy Bluetooth Fix

For those of you having Bluetooth issues, make sure you didn't delete the Music.apk in system/app
Yes, I know the stock music player sucks so deleting it makes sense but it turns out Bluetooth can't function properly without it.
Restoring it fixed all my Bluetooth issues! Use a file manager to yank it from the Broken Out ROM zip and back to system/app.

Thank you! I can use Torque with Broken Out now!

Hey man, glad to hear it. It's so funny, Torque is the only reason I use Bluetooth! Guess we were in the same boat on that one!
Torque is great, why pay a repair shop $90 for a "diagnostic" when we can do it ourselves with Torque!

bt fix
That's a cool simple fix if you removed the stock music app.
But for those that may have other bt issues, especially after flashing beats, try pulling the settings.apk from the base rom and replacing the one on your phone.
Thanks to SPC for the fix. Link: http://androidforums.com/esteem-all-things-root/477937-theme-gingerfusion3-9-bluetooth-fixed-1-26-2012-a-4.html
Just don't use any of the files from the post as they are for the esteem. I can't guarantee it would work or what would happen. But my wife had this exact issue after I flashed beats, and now everything works fine.

My problem is a little different. I am Using Broken out 1.1; when in car Dock,Com.android.phone crashes after every call. While that in itself is a minor Glitch, It KILLS my bluetooth requiring a reboot to reconnect. Had the same problem with Gingervolt & gave up.
I use my bluetooth exclusively in my car and otherwise LOVE Broken Out 1.1
I have an idea i am going to check out later this weekend. But if anyone has any insight, it would be appreciated. Perhaps Phone ap is different
Well after some research I believe it has to do with Car Mode. While LG Car home App su..... Is less than desireable. Appearently When in car mode the phone app looks for it after disconnecting. when it deosnt find it Bad things happen.
I have been experimenting with different car mode & personal assistant apps. I think I will try my hand at modding mye own & see where I go from there.

I'm having issues with connecting. I've only tried pairing with another phone. Going to try and pair with a BT speakerphone tonight. I looked up that Torque app and it looks awesome. Would like to try it out but don't want to invest in the adapter if my BT doesn't work.
Phone: Lg Revo (vs910) with Broken Out ROM, supercharged, thunderbolted, and ported Beats Audio files. I still have the stock music app and use it regularly.
EDIT: The device pairs but will not connect. Trying Bt'ing a picture to a friend and fails every time.

Holy crap I am so happy! Never been able to get my BT to work on any rom because I was removing the music app immediately! Thanks so much!

Haha same here! Amazing how many of us did that and scratched our heads trying to figure out why BT never worked! Who would have guessed in a million years that Bluetooth depended on the stock music app...so retarded

Recording calls with the SGH-T879?

I have the Samsung Galaxy Note, the TMobile SGH-T879. I have not found an application and/or ROM combination that will allow me to record telephone calls without using speakerphone.
To be clear, I want to record both sides of a conversation on all incoming and outgoing calls without having to use speakerphone.
Has anyone here been able to do this on this particular phone? If so, exactly what did/do you use?

Call recorder app by skvalex. It works straight out the box using cm10 but if you are on a touch wiz rom you must first change the system to r/w before installing. Only downside is it is 10 dollars but is perfect and does exactly what you are asking for. You also need to be rooted.

I have someone else working on the phone for me and I will pass a link to this thread on to him.
Thanks tremendously for your kind help.
I've been able to get nothing to work on a rooted but otherwise stock SGH-T879, which is supposedly different from the i717.

Download busy box installer app by jrummy.. Open app then swipe to the left. You will see an option that asks if you want to change the system to r/w.. Follow the instructions then voilà.

New (side-effect) problem from this ROM
It records calls just fine; but, a new problem has presented itself. The phone will no longer block calls in any call blocking program's blocked list. I have tried six call blocking programs, one of which worked before the custom ROM.
Does anyone have a suggestion for me?

the only way i managed to fix it, was using AutomateIT. i created a new rule to disable bluetooth on calls and enable it as soon as the call ended. let me know if this helped you.

Thats a good fix! I didnt think of that. So im guessing your watch speakers dont work with phone calls neither? Is there a way to fix this so that it would work on the watch like it should? Thanks!

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

+1
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

any update on this problem??

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.
