Bluetooth randomly switching output - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

I use a plantronics headset that's a couple years old but still works and charges up just fine. For the time that i have had the Note 8 along with the S8, i have been seeing an issue where ill be talking with someone on the headset just for the output to switch automatically back to the phone. It will then switch back if i haven't noticed and i will hear a beep from the headset indicating it is paired again.
Has anyone else noticed this? I don't have another device to try out to verify a bad headset.

[Q] Bluetooth not releasing audio at disconnect?

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.

Headphone mic not working in calls

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...

BlueTooth Headset Issue

I just got my device, and immediatly the first annoyance popped up. I started listening to music through my JayBird BlueBuds X headset, and the audio just stops going to the headset at random times. If I activate the voice dialer and cancel, it will resume for another 2 - 10 minutes before the audio cuts out again. Has anyone had any similar issue?
I am using Google Music only.
Can you see if your buds have a software available. I using 4 Bluetooth devices no issue. My Bose sound link did but after upgrade issue was gone.
BAD ASS NOTE 4
No issues with my bluebud x's like that. Used them for 3 hours straight the other day doing yard work. Try re-pairing or maybe you have some battery management tool stopping bluetooth?
Weird... Its only happebeing with my blue buds. Big Jambox and car Bluetooth don't have the issue.
I'm experiencing the same thing with the same headphones. Except the issue occurs with all of my bluetooth devices.
It is hands down the most unacceptably annoying feature that I can't believe comes bundled with an $800 device.
Anyway in this thread a member suggested turning off S-Health, which kinda sucks. I just did it a few hours ago so I can't verify whether it works or not yet.

so, that should tell you its the headphones, NOT the phones' issue

Bluetooth issues: headset connected but calls go through the phone!

I have been having some Bluetooth issues with my Huawei P20 Pro dual sim CLT-L29.
My mono bluetooth headset often appears as connected, but, if I make or take a call, it goes through the phone speaker, not through the headset. If I click on bluetooth - headset name it says "connected for calls and media audio", but it doesn't work. The only way to get it to work is to apply the IT approach and reboot the phone.
Has this happened to anyone else? This makes the phone quite unusable; when I get important phone calls, I can't always say: "please wait 30 seconds while I reboot my phone"!
This has happened with 4 headsets: 2 Jabra Talk 45 and 2 Plantronics V3200. The Plantronics has sensors to direct the call back to the phone if the headset is not in your ear, but I have disabled that. The Jabra has no such function, so this cannot be the issue.
Oddly, this has never happened with stereo bluetooth earphones / headphones. The worst that has happened with those is that, since a few months ago, the Jabra app no longer recognises the Jabra 65t earbuds, even though they otherwise still work just fine.

Phone calls are going through phone speaker

My AA enabled head unit and Galaxy A52 have been working fine together but recently the audio from phone calls has starting coming from the phone speaker whereas before it came from the car speakers. Other audio, ie music, navigation directions etc all continue to come from the car speakers as before, its just phone calls that has changed.
There has not been a change to the hardware so I assume this has been caused by a software change somewhere, has anyone else experienced this and/or know of a solution?
Thanks.
