Hi all
I have been trying to sort out this problem for a few days now and cant seem to come right.
When I make a call from my Phone, it defaults to BT headset and send the audio to the Gear.
Normally this would happen if the call originated from the Gear but is happening with every call made, from Gear or Note3.
Is there a setting on the Note that I am missing, that defaults bluetooth headset, because I cant find it.
Can anyone help me. It only started happening once I flashed null_21, and now I am on null_22 using a stock Note 3.
Even when I answer the call on my phone it defaults to Headset, wtf. This is driving me insane
Might end up going back to stock if I cant sort this out. At least it worked then and battery wasn't draining so fast!
EDIT: Okay finally figured it out. It was Voxer causing the problem. The bluetooth setting in Voxer was enabled and this caused it to default to bluetooth in the phone.
FINALLY SORTED!!!!!!!1

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 got the Samsung Captivate not even 30 days used and just yesterday the sound for calls stopped working completely. when I make or receive a call I can't hear the other person and they can't hear me and there is no dial tone during the calling process. The speakers work fine, the microphone works fine and the speakerphone speaker all work fine I have no idea whats causing this. If anyone, anyone at all, could help me figure this out. I've tried resetting the phone as well as hard reset. I've messed with all the settings and am running everything stock except that the phone is rooted which was done 2 weeks ago so obviously not the problem. I've googled this for 2 hours and looked everywhere and am getting sick and tired of this. Please if anyone can help me I would be more appreciative than you could imagine. Thanks.
It's difficult to say what exactly is causing your loss of sound with only phone calls. I suppose it could be a number of things. I read the software update AT&T is pushing out this week is fixing some issues such as that; however, from just looking at the forums people are having major trouble with that update. The easiest fix I can think of is to turn up the voice call volume. During you next phone call use the volume rocker to turn it up. It may have somehow been turned all the way down. I hope that helps.
Yea i tried the volume rocker, I am just going to return it to the store since it's still in the first 30 days. I can't figure out what the heck it is, probably just a defect :-/
I tried unrooting it, reseting to factory defaults, and still the same problem. The speakers work fine for music, the phone is in amazing condition and everything is fine, it's just the darn voice calls, incoming and outgoing just don't work, the other person gets the call and it registers but no sound comes out. Just wondering if anyone else has encountered this before I go back to the at&t store, it's quite far from where I live and living on campus makes it a bit hard to get there.

Well, I just got the same problem too. I was unable to listen anything on voice call and the other person can't hear anything too but the call is connected. I noticed that I could make phone call and hear the voice call but as long as the call ends, I can't hear other person if I make another call again. Please help. Thanks!
Hello fellas,
I just installed ICS from this link
The sound works fine when playing music or notifications or whatever I do.
But when I'm making or receiving a call, my sound doesnt work. My phone doesnt ring or hear it ring when making a call and nor can they hear me at all.
The only way I can make a phone call is through bluetooth which makes me think that the speaker on the phone isnt configured correctly.
If the ROM is the issue which rom do you recommend for my DROID 3?
Thanks for your help!
This is known issue people are experience with CM9, Gummy, and AOKP. MotoBlur + Android 4.0.4 is based of AOKP inheriting its issues. Usually a restart or two fixes the issue, but it is somewhat random. I believe the issue involves bluetooth but I guess no one really knows. I heard toggling bluetooth sometimes fixes it as well.
However you say it doesn't even ring, I have never had it not ring. But have experienced the rest.
Tried that
I've tried restarting several times, doing it again as I type.
When I've also tried to toggle bluetooth off during a call but it didnt work.
Should I reinstall the ROM?
Ok so I deleted all data and cache.
Re-installed the ROM again and it turns out that bluetooth is messing with my in-call sound. My phone rings now (by default there was no ringtone selected) but when I toggle bluetooth on I cannot hear anyone or anyone hear me.
Band aid: Keep bluetooth turned off until it gets fixed.
Thanks for your help Senate9690.
Is there a different rom out there for Droid 3?
About that band-aid
I run into a the no sound on calls as well. I'm running ICS and have always left the Bluetooth off. For me it seems to happen occasionally after I interrupt music/audio playback by removing the wired headphones from the jack or incoming call.
Just flushing the cache and rebooting letting the cache rebuild seems to fix it without the need to a re flash or factory reset. It is good to hear I'm not the only one experiencing the issue.
I ran into that issue with cm9 (selfkang) as well. Usually just toggling bluetooth off did the trick, and when it didn't, rebooting always worked. The sound issues were only in-call related, and notifications/ringtones worked just fine. I switched to Axiom and aside from the know in-call issues, toggling bt off works perfectly without rebooting.
In my opinion, Axiom is an excellent rom. My only drawback is the amount of battery sucked dry when the screen is on/keyboard out, however under very minimal use it has lasted well into the next day. Hash's original cm9 has prevailed as the battery king in my ICS D3 testing, but Axiom has made me a happy camper. I didn't spend much time with Gummy or the original AOKP though. That's the beauty in rom choices; different strokes for different folks

A lot of Android phones are having this issue. Try this app and see if it works. The Pro version lets you route sound during phone calls too!

Bluetooth Share?
Hi,
This is my first post, but I have encountered an issue similar to this before. I work for a company that makes Bluetooth headsets, primarily for truckers, and this is a fairly often related experience. I would describe it as "dead air" on a phone call. Often, if the headset supports it, the A2DP stream will be fine. I don't know why, or where we found this from, but we have found that often if a user goes into their application settings, to "All" apps, there will be an app there titled "Bluetooth Share". Sometimes there is more than one, but only one with show an amount of data. Going into this, clearing that data, then restarting the phone has been reported to help resolve this issue.
Try it, and see what happens. Not just Motorola phones do this either, but it seems to be associated with Android 4.0.x and up.
Thanks,
Alex.
I belive this rom has a bug where the speaker/earpiece doesn't work if Bluetooth is on.

Make sure bluetooth is off
Got Note 3 on launch day. Worked well until a few days ago when all attempts to use my Bluetooth speakers (Jambox and Big Jambox) began to result in the sound coming nearly inaudibly from the phone speaker. Additionally, when I attempt to use the auxillary jack in my car through the headphone port on the phone to listen to audio, the sound now comes out the car's speaker phone unless I turn off Bluetooth (on the phone). Even worse, after I attempt to use Bluetooth, the volume on the phone is stuck at approximately 25% of normal even with the all the volume sliders at maximum until I restart the phone. I have performed a factory reset without any change. I have unpaired and re-paired all three Bluetooth devices I use. Any ideas on how to fix this or do I have a faulty unit? Any help would be appreciated.

Finally...found someone who is having the same problem as mine.
yes.. im getting pissed off because of this to. Had to do a factory reset for nothing. Didnt fix it at all.
when i get into my car and turn the bluetooth on ... open the stock music app...it says "unable to play during call". Using another music app will result in the sound coming from the phone speaker (the one to use for calling)... reseting the phone makes no difference....
this is really annoying..

Before seeing this post of yours..i thought it might be because of the defective phone...but turns out its not...
When the bluetooth is connected....when you press the up/down volume button...notice that it is changing the sound of an incoming call.....

I did not have this kinda issue with the old version that came with the phone. After the newest update, it's kept on happening. So I guess its because of the update....
"the volume on the phone is stuck at approximately 25% of normal" => This actually is the reason why we can't play music. The phone thinks that we are on a call.
Your point about the volume rocker showing the call symbol is exactly what was happening in retrospect. And the phone, while it wouldn't play media files, would still connect for a phone call. This is all past tense because I swapped that phone out tonight and am really hoping that will do the trick. One would think that if this was due to an update, a whole lot more people would be having trouble.

Unfortunately, the new phone is acting like almost exactly like the old one now so software it is. I have found a couple of work arounds but hope they will be only needed temporarily.

Found an idea on another forum that seems (so far) to have solved my problem. One of the folks on the Android Central forum noted that when the text+ app was set to take incoming calls, the Bluetooth got wonky in exactly the same way mine did. When I unchecked "Enable incoming calls" in the settings of the text+ app, my phone started working correctly again (so far).
Same issue

Your not alone this a many of several none issues on this phone. When i stream music from my bluetooth headset the audio is minimize to a set volume and I'm unable to increase it.
Fixed
I have had no further problems since changing the setting in the textplus app. I would consider my issue solved!

Had the same issue, using a galaxy s3 took the 4.3 update and the problem started.
turns out it was text plus, I had to log off of text plus , all good once again. I'm going to uninstall text plus and re install, see if it helps, if not, I don't need that app that bad.

Hangouts is in call in the background
I was getting the same error "Unable to play during call".
By killing Hangouts from Application Manager, music starts playing normally.
I turned off Hangouts to permanently resolve the issue.
Hit Thanks!, if it helps
I've had my S21 for a few months now, but a couple months ago my mic started acting up. It only ever works during phone calls. If I try to record a video on any app such as the camera, snapchat, and Instagram, all you hear is a rally quiet static noise. The same thing happens if you try to just record a voice memo or use text to speech. I've tried using Bluetooth headphones, but it still does the same thing. Like I stated at the beginning, it only ever works during phone calls, which is really weird. I've tried putting it in safe mode and doing a factory reset, but that didn't fix it. This is so strange.
If it still refuses to work with Bluetooth headphones I presume it must be software send it back to service under your warranty
I was trying to avoid that since I need it for work, but if that's the option then I guess I will. Thanks
