Hi,
My phone, Realme X2 Pro Eu version with the ColorOS 6.1 RMX1931EX_11_A.08, is connected to my car's radio through Bluetooth, but when I receive a call and answer it, there is no sound coming or going.
I have to go to the device, during the call, change the audio source from the call out of the hands free and then back to hands free to be able to start hearing through my radio.
Doing a timeline exercise:
Phone connected to car stereo --> rings --> answer --> no sound and the other person also doesn't hears --> remove hands free --> sound stats to be send and received --> hands free added --> still be able to hear and send sound through the car's stereo
With my old phone, Honor 8 on android 7, I didn't had an issue with it.
I was thinking of getting tasker to do this automatically everytime I receive a call while connected to a Bluetooth device, but I was unable to get this option.
I went to check in Google and I could find people saying to switch off the "Hey Google" and thing, which I did but it didn't changed a thing.
I've done a reboot, unpair and delete the android profile in the radio but nothing works, and this seems to be an issue in android 9 since I could only get results for this issue from people with android 9.
Any other ideas?
Thanks

Has anyone else been unable to make phone calls after connecting to your vehicle's bluetooth? Most of the time, I can make phone calls without issue. Sometimes, I can't even hear the call ring when I'm connected to bluetooth. Occasionally, when I turn my vehicle off, the call goes silent instead of transferring to the earpiece on the phone. The only way I can fix the issue is rebooting the phone. This has become increasingly frustrating for me, since the issue is so inconsistent.
I'm running the stock ROM, rooted and un-encrypted.
Thanks!
Same here
I'm having the exact same problem you are having with my Ford Touch Sync, Bluetooth has work maybe once. At other times only the music over bluetooth has work. But was unable to make hands free calling! I also made my ford touch sync a trusted device, and the problem with connection still continues! Hope someone could provide some suggestions
Stock rooted- TWRP- encryption removed
I am having issues also. Just today, my phone shows I am connected to my Pioneer Navi head unit, and the Pioneer shows connected to my phone. I proceed to make a call. The audio on my radio mutes as it should, and nothing. No ringing, no busy signal nothing. so i hang up and try three more times. on that third retry, i heard the other party faintly, realizing that even though my radio muted and shows BT connected, the call went through the ear speaker on the phone. When I hung up the phone, my radio unmuted.
Last week, I was having issues where i couldnt hear any rings or busy signals. It would be silent for 20 seconds or so, then i hear the other party say "hello".
I honestly thought it was my head unit, since it is about 4 years old. But now I see others with similar issues on other brand bluetooth systems in their cars.

I just got my N6 today and I'm having trouble with My Ford Touch as well. I can get it to pair and play music, but it won't "connect" to my phone. It's odd because my N5 works fine with it. I would assume the N6 wouldn't be different.
We probably have to wait for an update from Ford, which will probably take months...
EDIT: Well I decided to try it again. I deleted the Nexus 6 entry as well as the Nexus 5 entry. Went through the pairing process again and it worked as intended. Not sure what happened the first time.
I ran into the same problem as others where my N5 worked flawlessly with my Ford Sync in my fusion, but the N6 is terrible.
I love the phone, but this is really annoying. I get into the car and sometimes it connects immediately, other times I have to turn off and back on the bluetooth about 3 times for it to finally connect. Very weird. Ford offers an upgrade to my Sync system, but wants $50 to do the upgrade. Pass.
I might try what the other person did and delete all entries for phones and pair it again. Unfortunately, the weather is pretty bad outside, so it might need to wait a short bit.
Has anyone else had luck re-pairing with their car and had reliable connections?
I use Ford Sync.

I use Ford Sync, and everything works as expected. I am Stock and unrooted. I guess it would come down to what version of Sync. Mine is from 2012. No touch screen. I also delete all other entries on the system and start from scratch making sure that the N6 is the main device.
If I can wake up the screen on my own, outgoing calls work fine

I have a Nexus 6 running Benzo ROM (5.1.1) and I have a GPS Nuvi 3580 bluetooth-enabled which I want to use to make calls while driving. I have added this device to my trusted devices so my phone unlocks as soon as it connected to it.
If my phone screen is on, then I'm able to call anyone from the bluetooth device, no issues. But as soon as my screen goes off, I can't make calls and when I switch on the screen on my own, I see a message "Process system isn't responding. Wait or close?"
Irrespective of what I select on this message, the call goes through. But it totally defeats the purpose of handsfree bluetooth mode. Is there something that is not allowing the bluetooth device to wake my phone up.
Also when I receive an incoming call, I see the notification on my GPS but I can't receive the call in one go. It takes multiple calls for it go through. I have also noticed that my bluetooth device keeps disconnecting and connecting without any change on either the phone or the GPS side.

Since I last made that post you quoted, i purchased and installed a 2015 model of the Pioneer AVIC-8100NEX. It has Android Auto, but can be used with the regular Pioneer UI also. I have had no issues anymore with this new radio. Maybe the BT protocol in the radio is newer? Im not that tech savvy to know. But the 2015 radio had no issues with BT calls anymore, on Pioneer's UI or Android Auto's UI.
Hi,
I've bought a "Jabra Stealth" headset and I'm unable to launch Google Now on my Nexus 6 (Android stock 5.0.1, FrancoKernel r8) with the dedicated button although it's a built-in feature of the headset. I assume that this is an issue of compatibility with Android 5.0. Jabra has answered me that I didn't configure vocal commands well but that's false. Has someone encountered the same problem and has a solution for it?
Thanks

I have a similar issue. I use a Plantronics Voyager Legend. A couple of issues:
1) press and hold of the action button will bring up "voice dialer" instead of "google now". I dont know if you've ever tried to use voice dialer, but i think its more or less deprecated since the nexus 1 was the new kid on the block.
There is an app for bluetooth on the app store that lets you choose what to launch with that button. however, it didnt work that well for me. lots of lag and it blended together with other bluetooth related issues.
2) Bluetooth never seems to "turn off". I have a smart sensor enabled headset. IE the phone should know if i have the headset on or not, and pipe phone calls and notifications and ringtones to the speaker if i dont have it on and to the headset if i do. instead, the phone constantly pipes EVERYTHING to the bluetooth headset. no fix yet.
3) phone connection to my car's bluetooth makes my audiobook start playing. I have no idea why. it is not a setting in the audiobook app. Seems that the fix is to disable streaming media over bluetooth (contacts/messages only)
From what ive witnessed with issues regarding audio, screen brightness, bluetooth, this is yet another half-baked google product with little to no attempt at a proper follow through. just a crap device rushed to market with tons of potential and a complete crap OS and barely any thought or usability effort put into anything except the home screen.
I also have the N6 with the P Legend. I am having issues where the caller can barely hear me. Do you know if you have this issue at all?

When the caller can barely hear you, check your phone. Sometimes, even though my headset is on, the phone doesn't care and attempts to use the phones speaker or mic.

That's my current issue...
I can answer the calls with either my truck or ear piece, but both will randomly not have audio. The phone says it's connected BT, but I have to switch the source to speaker or handset and then click back over to BT. The whole time while I'm begging the person on the other end not to hang up and to hold on a second. Not bad when I'm at my desk with earpiece....let's just say it's a bit more nerve-racking on the highway.

Same here. Also have a problem where, when on a call, an incoming call will kill bluetooth. This makes it unusable in my car as it becomes a real safety issue. I have to turn off BT and use the speakerphone which luckily is good enough for the job. Even switching the source and switching back doesn't always work for me.
I regret not sending the phone back for this problem. I'm waiting on v5.1 this month as rumored, hoping that will solve the problem. May just go back to my Lumina 925.
Has anyone tried going into Google settings app -> Search & Now -> Voice and turn on Bluetooth Headset (records audion through bluetooth headset if available).
I have Nexus 5 and Jabra Stealth and I had the same problem. I could solve it thanks to these indications: hackerspace.kinja.com/reassign-your-bluetooth-phone-button-to-open-google-n-1507391132
Same issue with calls not having audio through the car Bluetooth unless I switch to speaker/handset then back. I guess Marshmellow really messed up Bluetooth on a lot of people's phones not just us. Tried different rooms(AOSP, CM, stock) no help even tried updating the radio which helped Bluetooth crashing completely and requiring a restart but the phone issues remain.
Hello,
I just purchased and installed a Pioneer AVH-4100NEX. So far it's pretty slick. I'll be using it with my Galaxy S6.
I noticed that when I try to disable the Call Audio Bluetooth profile from the phone side, it re-enables itself... like I HAVE to use the NEX for call audio.
I would like to be able to turn on my BT headset and use that instead, without much hassle. There are definitely times where I'll be in the car with other people and don't want the whole car to hear the conversation. It also presents a call quality issue with the far end being able to hear the system speakers.
Do I have to unplug USB from the NEX to make this work?

I have same unit, try having headset connected before plugging in your phone. That may work

I'm bumping this up. With my previous phone (LG V10) I could select which device use to make phone calls, Android Auto device or a bluetooth headset (Plantronics). Now with a Oneplus 3T that is not possible anymore.
AA automatically rerouting "BT phone" to main AA device. That is really annoying.
If someone knows a workaround to this please give advice, thanks...
You have to have it enabled, in a nutshell the unit (Pioneer) declares that it has bluetooth capabilities and declares the bluetooth mac address when it initialize the connection, than Android Auto (trough Google Play Services which is a system app) will enable the bluetooth, set up a pairing if it doesn't exist and connect to it, so no matter what you do it will always connect to it, the only way to "avoid" this is:
a) Get another phone which connects to the Pioneer bluetooth, then connect the phone (haven't tried this, but probably will do the trick)
b) Alter the pioneer unit so it doesn't send the bluetooth mac and it doesn't declare the bluetooth service (almost impossible, you will need to replace the app on the unit)
I recently switched from the galaxy note 4 to the galaxy note 8 and that made me unable to use skype on the headset. This did not happen with my Note 4, and it does not happen with other apps (i.e. whatsapp)
Steps to reproduce:
Have the headset paired with the phone
Ensure you can get audio from multimedia players
Ensure you can get audio from normal phone calls
Ensure you can get call audio from other apps (i.e. whatsapp)
Ensure you have the latest firmware (1.3.4) and the latest skype (8.10.0.4)
Make a call on skype (i.e. sound testing service)
Expected:
All media streams pause
Headset switches to call mode (you can hear noise cancelling turn off, as happens with normal calls via the phone)
Call works normally and you can hear as well as speak to the other person
Observed:
All media streams pause
Call is routed to the phone earpiece
When hanging up in skype, the skype sound for ending calls is heard on the headphone
Workarounds attempted (none of them work):
Settings > Sounds and vibration > separate app sound
Choose app as skype and audio device as "bluetooth device (QC35)"
Fail
Install BTmono from the play store
You can hear QC35 changing to "call mode" (noise cancelling stops)
As soon as you try calling via skype, QC35 returns to normal mode
Fail
Install SoundAbout
Fail
Install Samsung Connect
Switch Audio Output to QC35
Fail
Workaround for incompatibility between QC35 and Skype for android
Hi,
I've had exactly the same issue and the only workaround has been to use Skype Lite instead of the normal version of the app and the beta version. I guess they use sime type of codec not compatible with the headset.
Have you found any other solution? I don't know if Skype lite is available in all the countries but I'm sure you can easily find it on the web in case you'd like to try if that works for you too
No, I returned my note 8 and switched back to the note 4 (a much better phone in my opinion, especially when you consider how old it is). The root experience in the note 8 is not worth it, everything is crippled and support just wasn't there when I got it. Most of the stuff in XPOSED is broken. I might wait for the note 9 or the new motorola z3 force.
I tried posting in microsoft forums for help, which was completely useless. I also tried posting in bose, and they were much more helpful, as you can see for yourself, but still wasn't able to fix the issue.

Here are a few things you can try:
- Post in samsung forums asking for help
- Try attempting some of the things I tried. Maybe they work for you. There have been a ton of updates since I asked this question.
- Try updating the firmware on your QC35, especially if you've never done it: you get the ability to turn off noise cancelling in one of the patches.
- See if the new QC35-II works. Just go to a store and pair your phone with one of the showcase units.
- For that matter, see if one of the showcase QC35 works with your phone.
- Try pairing your QC35 with another note 8. Just go to a phone store and use the demo phone there (though be careful, some showcase phones are demonstrators and use different hardware)
- Try pairing your QC35 with another model entirely. It's unlikely to be the android version, otherwise bose would have noticed...
So I got the phone and I'm trying to use the handfree Bluetooth in the car. I have connected the phone, and Spotify works flawlessly, but when I try to make a phone call it disconnects the car audio then goes to spraker/regular mode. I have tried to clear my Bluetooth app cache with no success. Do I have to sideload a new codec for the Bluetooth for it to stay connected to the car when making phone calls.
I'm running Pie 9, February 15th 2019 Update
Build number - P-mr1-rc003-rzr-190305.3110
I have searched but can't seem to find anything with the same issues as me, if come one could kindly point me at the right direction that would be great.
Having something similar.
My Wifes RP2 connects to an ATOTO A6 Pro headset, but when her phone rings it doesn't appear on the head unit, and we can't accept calls. you can initiate a call from the head unit, but it doesn't know the call is happening, so you can't drop the call. Been hoping Android 10 is coming soon, so I can upgrade her and test again.
My Huawei Mate 10 Pro works perfectly with the head unit, so I think this is RP2 related.
Did you find anything that helped you?
I'm having the exact same problem with my Razer Phone 2.
What car do you have? It's a 2015 Kia Soul for me.
