I've had an intermitten problem with bluetooth connection between my Moto X (xt1058) and 2013 Focus. From time to time, when I try to make calls or receive incoming calls while the phone is connected to the car, no sound comes out. The other party can hear me, but I hear nothing (not even the ring when calling out). Eventually I found if I switch the sound to the ear speaker, I can hear. If I switch to the speakerphone, no sound, either. Simply rebooting the phone solves the problem. However, that's a real nuisance! The strange thing is, I have two xt1058, and both exhibit the same problem. Both are on stock 4.4.4, not rooted.
Has anyone experience this? I don't know if it's the phone or the car. Unfortunately I don't have another car with bluetooth to try, and it doesn't happen all the time. Sometimes it happens a few times a week. Sometimes it's fine for a few weeks in a row. My wife never run into that problem with her iphone.
BTW, the bt connection is only for phone, no media.

I am having an issue with my N1 and my 2010 Acura TL Bluetooth.
Sometimes it connect just fine, others it connects and then drops and still other times will connect the media portion, but not the phone portion.
Does this sound like a software issue(Bluetooth Stack) or defective hardware on the N1?
My car's Bluetooth is fine as it pairs and stays connected to my older phone and other phones that I have tested.

I'm pretty sure it's software-based. IIRC, Bluetooth is partially broken on Android and hasn't been completely fixed yet.

It's a software issue with Android which will [hopefully] be fixed in soon-to-come Android versions
I have same problem with Nokia's car kit and N1. When I start my car, phone connects to HF and says "connected to phone and media" (or something like that) in BT-menu.
Spotify plays music via A2DP thru car kit without any problems, but sometimes phone connection is partially dropped (incoming voice) without any notification. When call arrives, Spotify stops playing music as it should be and I can answer to phone call, but I can't hear callers voice. However, caller can hear my voice, so only callers voice is muted.
This happens randomly. Sometimes phone audio works and sometimes not.
Is this problem reported to Google?

Can I upgrade bluetooth 2.0 to bluetooth 3.0 one my nexus one ???
Hi,
I'm running my Droid 4 on stock ICS, and I've noticed that sometimes I have no sound. This has happened for regular audio, but also phone audio. Sometimes switching off Bluetooth, and switching it back on again, restores the phone to normal, but sometimes I need to reboot to fix it.
The problem seems to come after I've been in the car, where the phone connects to my car stereo, and I wondered whether something is going wrong then the bluetooth disconnects from the stereo, and the speakers of the phone aren't being switched back on again.
Has anybody experienced the same problem, and is there a fix for it?
Cheers,
Steve.
Hi everybody. I have just got my new HTC One and I am really loving it. But I seem to have run into a major problem which I couldn't solve despite trying everything. Whenever I receive or dial a phone call while using a wired headset or bluetooth headset, I can hear the sound in the headset for a couple of seconds but then the call is routed by default to the internal speakers and mic. All this while the phone shows that the output is going to the headset. If I change it to the internal speaker and back again to the headset (wired or bluetooth), everything works normally and I can talk and hear through the headset. This problem only occurs with phone calls and I am able to listen to the music through headsets normally without any sound quality issue. I have searched on various internet forums but all in vain. A few more people were having this problem but no solution was in sight. I thought may be an upgrade would solve this problem but alas even after upgrading to the latest 4.3 update, the problems remains. Hope somebody here can help me with this problem.
I'm having an interesting issue, and none of the things I've found on forum search seem similar. I recently replaced my XT1053 Dev Edition due to a cracked screen. I have an Apple Earpod headset the used to work fine for calls...that is, I never really bothered getting the buttons to work, but the headphones output audio just fine, and the mic worked in calls so I could leave my phone in my pocket.
However, recently with the new phone, I'm having an issue with the headset. Now the mic doesn't work on phone calls. Phone audio and music output fine. The other weird thing is that, if I'm listening to music and someone calls, and I pick up the call with the headset in (then find the mic doesn't work), I'll unplug the headset to use the phone regularly...but when I do, the phone defaults to speaker mode for some reason.
Not sure if this is (hopefully) an easy software fix, but if anyone has insights, I'd love to hear them. I don't think it is the headphones, as they work in my wife's iPhone just fine.
Not compatible with the X. Sorry. ?
According to this reddit thread the mic will work if you hold down the center button while plugging in.

Actually, the iPhone headset DID work fine on my last Moto X before I had to replace it. I was able to listen to music and make calls with it, and the mic worked. I'm wondering why it doesn't work anymore, if there's some software fix to it not working.
Well, a while back there was a lot of posts saying it didn't work. If it did or does, great.
Bottom line tho, if you plug it in and it works, awesome. If it doesn't, then it won't.
No software will help. ?

Hi,
I'm using a blackberry headset and having no issues with audio/mic. But I'm having the issue where the phone defaults to speakerphone mode when unplugging the headset in the middle of a call. This issue didn't go away with wipe cache partition, factory data restore and a warranty replacement!
BTW, i'm on stock XT1053...
I'm having an issue with my Galaxy S6 920A on T-Mobile. If I originate a call in an area of weak signal many times the receiver cannot hear me, as if the mic is not working. Happens about 50% of the time. No problems with the mic, sound recorder is fine, I can make wifi calls and works every time. Incoming calls work most of the time (occasionally, maybe about one out of 10 calls has same issue). The outgoing channel is working because I can send DTMF tones using the keypad and the receiver will hear those, just not any voice from the mic. This is happening on two phones, one with Android 7.0 and one with Android 5.0.1. Also doesn't matter if I use a bluetooth headset, same issue. Can't have a phone where I have a 50/50 chance of my recipient hearing me. Any help would be appreciated.
Can anyone help on this? I'm trying to figure out if I have a physical problem with the phone or if they all work like this. Seems unusual that I would have two phones bought at different stores with different color and they both have this issue. Thanks.
