I use the Plantronics M3000 Blue Tooth ear piece.
Recently I have been missing 1/3 calls because the Blue Tooth won't pick them up and if I try to answer them on the XDA it comes up with "Unable to answer the call".
I don't know if this problem is related to the BT device but I certainly didn't encounter it before I started using it.
Any ideas on what's causing the problems and how to resolve it?
Thank you.
Fully charged
First we have to do some error tracking
Is the BT headset fully charged,
Secondly when missing the call was headset bonded
Was Bluetooth enabled on XDA and BT haedset enabled
Then we can go to some more serious problem checking
Fully charged
Very good points. I think fully charged may be an issue, but not always.
I am confident with bonding and connectivity.
Points aside, can't I override the BT connection and just collect the call by pressing <Send> on the XDAII?
yes
Yes you can also accept the calls with the handset green button, and then still press the accept button on your bt headset to transfer to that afterwoods, and vica versa
So back to my original problem
On one out of three occasions I am physically unable to answer my phone with the green <send> button, it displays the message:
"Unable to answer call".
Does anyone know why this message appears? Is there a conflict with my BT earpiece or could there be another issue all together?
Thank you.
What BT headset are you using. I have both the Jabra BT200 & 250 and have had issues with both picking up call from the headset.
I use the same set up Plantronics M3000 and XDA II, I also get this issue.
However, If I don't get to the phone in time (when I don't have the BT headset on) I still get the issue, My guess is that I am trying to accept the call but the caller has ended........
unable to answer incomming calls !!
hi - on my xda 2 i get the same problem and i am not using blue tooth at all - the xda 2 occasionally wil not pick up the incoming call. having read other posts on this site i am under the impression that the phone aspect of the xda 2 is prone to glitches and is a weak point........... further information around this point is sought :?

Me too! Even without BT headset!
XDA2 phone is very poor
Me too, XDA2 phone is rubbish
:?
Very happy with my XDA II and works well with my SE HBH-60 BT headset.
I have had the "unable to answer call" message too. Without a BT headset. I was under the impression I got this message when the call had just switched through to voicemail but the XDAII hadn't noticed yet.

Originally, my opinion was that someone is calling my non-voice number. I have three mobile numbers : for voice, fax and data. I have the fax-number redirected to my mobile box (it's integrated messaging system where voice messages are delivered by mail as WAV files and faxes as PNG files). But the data-number isn't redirected. On my previous GSM phone, when someone called my data number, the message "data call - connect terminal by cable/IrDA" was displayed. So on XDA I thaught that "unable to answer call" message is displayed when someone dialed my data-number. But it wasn't true - he dialed my regular voice number, so it is a real serious bug !
Just to add to the record, I too have the problem of being unable to answer calls sometimes. This does not happen all the time though, every now and then but enough to be irritating. It's possible though I can't say for sure that pressing the 'answer' soft button rather than the green hardware button is more reliable as I've not had that problem with the 'answer' soft button.
maybe some of those issues are a result of some of the more exotic gsm stuff like
I have three mobile numbers

diamondjimxda2, I think your problem could be caused by something else.
I am - like you - with Vodafone - and I also use a BT headset (Jabra 200). Every few times I have the problem that I cannot answer incoming calls - bother with and w/o the headset.
For me it doesn't occur directly after a soft reset, but after a few hours of use. So far my best guess is a relation to some software and I currently suspect Pocket Informant being the source... at lest I noticed a few times that answering a call worked before I opened PI and didn't anymore when it is running.
Not that I now think PI is the problem, but something doesn't quite work together as it should...
By the way: my device information is
ROM version 1.03.00 USA
Radio Version 1.05.14
Ext ROM Version 1.03.43
Hi,
I have the TyTn and when I connect it via Bluetooth to my Nokia CK7W carkit callers complain that my voice breaks up and they only hear every 2nd word or so. I also get the same complaints when using the handsfree inbuilt speakerphone, and that my voice fades in and out.
Yet when I talk normally with the phone to my ear the problem isn't there.
I've tried raising my voice and speaking closer to the mic in both cases but this doesn't work.
Any suggestions?
Tnx
Ari
Might be similair to the issues other users and I are having.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately it's not related to the other forums. My phone keeps the bluetooth connection and both incoming and outgoing voices can be heard.
I've heard it for myself and it sounds like i'm in a bad reception area. What's really puzzling is that it also happens when I speak on the phone with the speakerphone activated, yet when I place the phone right to my mouth then the problem goes away, so i'm thinking it's something to do with the mic switching off to cancel any echo?

My Vibrant has been disconnecting the motorola h710 whenever another call comes in while I'm on the line. I have to then use the phone itself to answer and then click headset on the device before it routes the call back to the headset. Another annoying issue is that it doesn't give an audible warning before it does this.
I'm wondering if this a normal operation of the phone? If it is, I may have to bring it back. Using bluetooth happens to be a big part of my phone usage.
I currently don't have access to another bluetooth to test but its proven to work fine on my 3GS and the Mytouch 3g.
Thanks
I have searched and searched and I am actually currently waiting two new Jabra Extreme2 headsets from Jabra.... but I don't have a lot of faith that the problem will be solved.
The scenario is simple.. Calling and listening to music is fine. The issue is on incoming calls, and only MOST of the time.
If the headset is on and connected (bluetooth) the ringtone will start to stutter and the announcement in the headset will be "call from " and a number instead of the actual name in the contact list. At this point the phone will be frozen. The call will roll to voicemail. The only way to shut the headphone up from repeating the number continuously is to turn it off. Once the headset is off, you can usually get to the pulldown and turn off bluetooth. It will take awhile (minute or two) to release, but it will. At this point you can turn on the headset and turn on bluetooth again and make a call without issue. Maybe even receive a call... but about 8 out of 10 calls will result in the above.
My wife and I each have an Epic 4g and a Jabra Extreme2 headset. The issue is the same on both phones. We have older Jabra BT530 headsets that other than sounding like crap. (old bluetooth tech) work great, no issues.
I'm not convinced the issue is the headset. I mean really, there is no "software" for the headset. It's just a bluetooth connection, so why is the phone freezing? I tried different ringtones as I thought that might be the issue, but it isn't.
Does anyone have any thoughts or insight, or any idea if it could actually be the headset causing the phone to freeze.
Also, does anyone know how to disable the PBAB as that seems to be related but without being able to disable it, I can't confirm.
Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated. Anyone using the Extreme2 ?
Well, I have a Moto Finiti Bluetooth and I am not having any of the issues you mentioned so far. Thankfully its connecting better than earlier ROM releases on my Epic

I've just encountered a strange and frustrating issue that began a couple of days ago on 7/12. I have a Galaxy S4 running 4.4.2 and a 2010 Nissan Altima. I've had my car for 4 years and have never had this issue with any of my phones until this past Saturday so I am convinced it is my phone that is the issue. The Bluetooth pairing will connect without issues (indicator on both phone and car screen indicates so) and I am able to make/receive a call with sound successfully for one time. If I a make or receive a second call, there will be no sound both on my end or the caller on the other end. I know the call connects since the call timer starts on both my phone and the car screen as well as on the caller's phone (tested out with my wife's phone while in the car). I will not even hear a ring tone, the call will just connect without sound. Even if I disconnect the Bluetooth connection, there will not be any sound coming from my handset and the caller on the other end cannot hear me when trying to perform a call. The issue can be temporarily fixed with a phone restart. After making one successful call on Bluetooth after a phone restart, the no sound issue will return. I'm not sure what to do at this point. I've re-done the phone pairing with my phone and car but the issue resurfaces. I see somebody posted a very similar issue on a different website on the same exact day I started getting the issue (Can only hear phone calls on Bluetooth) so I am wondering if we got some sort of app update that has started to interfere with Bluetooth connections. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
