hi there,
got a bluetooth car kit/radio thing and when it's connected any outgoing calls are fine, audio gets routed through the speakers and i'm a happy chappy
however, when the call is incoming the audio comes out of the phone, even tho the phone is connected to the radio
would a change of radio fix this? i'm currently using .05
thanks for any help
I just wanted to buy a stereo bluetooth handsfree for my device and finally I decided to buy an EverE T909s about 40 $...
it pairs correctly and fully to the device and music sound is good... but when there is an incoming call or when i call some one its microphone is so weak and people cant hear me!
I just paired the headset to another phone but it worked properly...
any solution?
I have the same problem. But in my case people can hear me when T909S is connected to the phone (Samsung), not very good, but they can.
What I'm concerned is when I connect this headset to my computer and try to use it for Skype, whatever settings I use the sound from Microphone is always very squeaking and it's impossible to use this headset as my headphones in Skype...
Any solutions?
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 ???
I picked up a Vivid over the weekend and overall I'm thrilled. The only area that is lacking is BT quality when paired with my car stereo (Pioneer AVIC-Z110 updated to the Z130 firmware). Granted, these units have gotten bad reviews for their BT quality, HOWEVER, my old device worked well. I used to have an HTC "Pure" running Windows Mobile and got no complaints for call quality.
My wife now says that this phone is echoing really badly. I can't hear it on my end, all sounds well. When I disable BT and just call her directly from the handset, all is well.
Are there any tweaks or settings that can be changed in Android and on the Vivid specifically? I read about someone adjusting the "BT gain" before they paired their device, but I can't find such a setting.
Thanks,
-Brett.
+1 on this. My stereo has a Mic volume adjust that helps a little, but it seems to be bad when I'm on the highway. Though I've always had this problem with Android. my old windows 6.5 phones were just fine.
Another Solution
Instead of using BT for music from my phone, I just hit the Sirius/XM button on the sound system, or plug my iPod directly into the sound system. Of course, I had to buy a new vehicle to get this capability.
PS: The Vivid does work well via BT for hands-free phone calls, also built into the new vehicle.

I re-read my first post and realized I might not have been as clear as I could be. I'm speaking strictly about phone call quality, not BT audio streaming. I tried audio streaming once and it sounded OK, but that's not what I'm referring to here.
When talking on the phone using the Pioneer AVIC z110 as a BT headset the person that I'm calling reports a lot of echo on their end, to the point where it's almost unusable. Things sound mostly fine on my end.
So the question stands - are there any (hidden?) settings or adjustments that can be made on the Vivid, or in Android in general?
Thanks,
-Brett.
not to my knowledge, no adjustments. But if you're using your headset, have you used it on other phones without this problem? If there's an echo, it makes me think maybe the phone mic is active while it should be only the BT mic that is. Maybe try covering the phone mic with your thumb or something and ask the person on the other end if that does anything to take away the echo?
Yea I'm getting the same feedback about phone calls. Music quality is great except when I use navigation. My streak would lower music when it would speak instructions. My vivid doesn't.

I used the same BT setup on my old Windows Mobile phone with no complaints.
Maybe you're on to something. I had assumed that the phone would mute its internal microphone when connected to a BT device. Maybe that's not the case? I'll try covering the phone's mic and see if that makes a difference.
Thanks,
-Brett.
No luck. I tried both covering the Mic and taking the phone out of the car entirely. It made no difference in call quality.
Next step is to pair my wife's blackberry to the car and see if that works better. Need to determine if it's the phone or the car.

Sorry for being a smart-aleck. Actually, on a hand-free BT call last night I noticed a bit of an echo. I need to make some more calls to see if it continues. I never had that with the HD2 in 15 montrhs of use. Also, I noticed that the phone rings directly as well as through the car's sound system when I recieve a call. Again, I don't remember my HD2 doing that.
Minor update: I've found that it might be related to the Android Bluetooth in call volume setting. It seems like if I lower the volume during a call (via the volume rocker on the phone, not form the car's head unit) it helps with the echo problem. The problem is that this volume level resets itself to the max every time I pair with the car.
Is there any way to force Android to keep a lower volume level for the BT headset? I tried an app called Bluetooth Volume, but it didn't affect the BT Headset volume.
Thanks,
-Brett.
I upgraded to the Moto-X for the touchless controls as I commute to work and back on my motorbike and I was really unsatisfied with alternatives floating around to simulate touchless control.
Now when I am in my car and using my bluetooth headset the voice control works just fine, I can navigate, call and send quick messages no problem
But on my bike I use a Viper RSv-131 helmet which has bluetooth built in and I listen to local radio or music whilst I'm riding but my Moto-X does not respond when I cay Ok Google now or when I press the button on my helmet either I can answer incoming calls fine but thats it.
Does anyone else use a Moto-X on a motorcycle/motorbike or even a regular bicycle with bluetooth and do you have similar problems?

Thanks Etcetra, I have bluetooth headset option turned on and it works using my BT headset in the car.
My gut reaction is my car headset is a regular over the ear BT headset but my helmet is like BT stereo headphones with a microphone and so I think it's a different kind of BT but I'm not an expert.
Any advice would be welcome
Check to see which profiles are connected on each device by going into Bluetooth settings and tapping the little settings icon next to the connection.
My helmet comes up as BLINK II and is ticked for phone and media audio

That's unfortunate as it suggests an incompatibility issue between the two. It should certainly work using the phone profile.
Check with the helmet maker... maybe they have a firmware update available.
Turned off media audio and just tried phone audio but still the same: (
