Hi,
I have connected my KJam to my car stereo via a cable from the 2.5mm jack to the aux port of my car stereo. Tom Tom voice and phone calls are routed through my car stereo. Sometimes, the microphone will not work when I take a call. I can hear the caller perfectly but they can't hear me. Other times, the phone functionality works perfectly and we can both hear each other great.
If anyone can suggest any ideas, I would be very grateful.
Thanks
if your using a jack to connect it to your car, then its will prob. stop the mic working as its routing the audio to you car in the same way the headset with mic that you got with the k-jam does. I had this problem on mine, but due to the fact that i use a bluetooth neadset in the car fixed that little problem 8)
That's the end of my k-jam desires then.
I use my MDA compact in the same way you describe, for TomTom, Hands free calling and to play my music through.... and my microphone works fine with the headphone jack in.
I guess one thing to check would be the number of rings on your 2.5mm jack. If you have 3 then theres a possibility the k-jam thinks you have a mic on the end of the wire. If you have 2 rings (normal stereo headphones) then there must be another issue somewhere.
thanks for your replies. My concern was around the fact that sometimes the microphone works and sometimes not. I wonder if there is a workaround or a specific type of cable that I need to ensure that only the audio is routed and not the mic as well.
Thanks for all your help.l
never tried this myself, so i can only assume it would work. you could hack a cheap wired headset up, removing the earpieces but leaving the microphone. then add a stereo 3.5 plug so you can hook it up to your car stereo.

I have that very problem also, it's gotten that annoying that i've stopped using it through my stereo. you are able to get around it by popping the cable out of the kjam, then putting it back in.
pain in the ass though none the less.
What is the phone is set to Speakerphone ?
Even though Speakerphone is currently not working...
Hey all,
Just wondering if anyone has had any success in fixing this problem? I am having the same issue. I have a 2 ring 2.5-3.5mm adapter connected (so it should only be routing the audio, not the mic) and sometimes the caller can hear me, sometimes not. At one stage I found by unplugging the cable, setting to speakerphone, then unsetting speakerphone and plugging the cable back in would get it to work, but not anymore...
Any ideas?!?! I love my XDAII mini but this is driving me up the wall!
Cheers,

Moved from a MT3G to the Nexus One, and I've been very disappointed by the Bluetooth.
The phone pairs fine with my Bluetooth devices, but it rarely transfers the audio. I've tested it on several devices:
Chrysler MyGig: pairs, but doesn't transfer audio. Carkit DOES show incoming and outgoing calls, but audio stays on the phone. Pressing "Bluetooth" in call doesn't do anything.
Garmin Nuvi 855T - pairs and calls work, but it regularly pops up with "phone connection error"
Spracht Bluetooth carkit - pairs, but same audio transfer issues as on the MyGig unit.
These three products worked perfectly with the MT3G, so I'm curious what Google broke and whether any of the other non-stock roms out there can make Bluetooth work correctly.
having issues myself with streaming A2DP in a 2010 VW. Phone works great but music clips almost like it's buffering. Issue doesn't exist with other phones.
My issue with bluetooth is I cant send files to my laptop anything works fine...
Don't know about your issue, but my N1 hasn't had any major BT problems. Occasionally it drops out while running with my Plantronics with A2DP, but that happened with my G1 too. File transfers are no problem for me either, and I never get disconnect problems. Stock rom was fine too with BT before I installed CM5. Maybe you have some app that's interfering with it? Try killing everything.
I have an aftermarket parrot bluetooth car kit and its worked perfectly with every phone ive ever had: sidekick 3, tmobile dash, bb curve, g1, bb 8900, mytouch. and now with the nexus it says it pairs but wont connect. so its completely useless. and i live in california so i have to have handsfree. bummer.
What annoys me most is a) how this wasn't picked up during testing by Google and b) how they managed to break something that worked perfectly on the G1 and MT3G.
It has been submitted as a bug in Google Code, but that doesn't mean they'll fix it. Sad that I have to use an iPhone just to make calls in my car when I paid $563 for the N1
my jawbone prime works great..
sometimes i have to send a file twice to my mac, but it does send, and i can send from mac back to the phone
Really? My first, and ongoing, impression of the N1's blue tooth is that it's really slick.
It pairs with my in dash NAV on my '09 Jetta TDI before I pull out of the driveway, every time. Phone calls always work and the A2DP streaming is flawless, this is the first device I've seen it actually work and play well with -- consistently .
The sound quality is BETTER than my iphone through the apple A/V cable; with the iphone I had to put an audio filter inline behind the dash to suppress engine noise caused by a ground loop. I'm considering removing it now since blue tooth A2DP streaming would obviously be immune to this problem.
I couldn't be happier, personally. I can control playlists from the stereo head unit or the steering wheel while the N1 is in my pocket. It's been very reliable and has performed beyond my expectations... not to mention the "wow factor" when somebody realizes where the tunes in the car are coming from.
For me, the blue tooth performance has been an unexpected bonus... It wasn't a consideration when purchasing the phone but now I feel it's become a "must have" feature.
- Honda Car Kit
- Philips SHB7100
- Gear4 BlackBox
- two Desktop Docks
are working fine.
"Audio Link" sometimes has "clipping".
Pairs fine with my Garmin Nuvi 265WT, however ALWAYS drops a call around the 5 min mark. My G1 did the same thing with my Garmin Nuvi 680.
My N1 won't work with my 08 Nissan Xterra. Pairs just fine but won't transfer audio. This worked fine with my Samsung Blast, G1 and Cliq.
There is a thread about this on the google nexus one help forum but unfortunately I'm not allowed to post external links. I'd recommend voicing your problem over there to let google know this is a widespread issue.
I have problems with my BMW Bluetooth car kit. It connects, phonebook transfers, try and make a phone call and I get no sound. Receivers phone rings but no sound in the car. Once the phone call is cut the Bluetooth disconnect and won't connect until the car Bluetooth is turn off and on.
The Bluetooth on my old iPhone worked perfect every time. I thought Bluetooth had standards and should work with any device if it supports the profile.
How hard is it, especially for a company like Google to get it to work.
My Lexus bluetooth pairs perfectly every time, and usually the call will last a couple minutes before I suddenly get no audio going to the car, or the car may say "check handset". At that point, I have to click the Bluetooth button on the phone to switch to the handset. If I restart the phone it usually works fine for a while, then this happens again. I never had a problem with 3 other phones in this car.

I've got a BMW with a bluetooth kit and have similar issues.
The way I've overcome it is to always keep the bluetooth in the car "on" and on the Nexus "off".
When I get in my car with the key fob in the ignition, enable the nexus one bluetooth and it works.
It's a pain to enable/disable the bluetooth on the handset but it works until there's a proper fix for it.
Also i recently got Modaco's Desire Rom on the handset and found the above procedure works without fail.
One other thing I noticed since having the Modaco Desire ROM is that when you're in a bluetooth call all phone audio comes from the car speakers.
Never used to happen with the stock nexus rom or my previous Touch HD.
It's cool but would be great if there was a way to enable the bluetooth audio so phone sounds came through the car speakers without making a call.

I have a very similar issues with my Nexus One and my Lexus IS350. It pairs OK. But if I make a call, the cars display flashes "check handset" and then puts the call through. I can hear the other end, but they can't hear me.
This is a "deal breaker". Guess I'll be sending my Nexus One back for a refund.
I have been unable to use bluetooth to transfer files OR to tether.
I paired it with my MotoRokr speakerphone, and it paired fine, but I didn't use it to see if it actually works.
Regardless, there are obvious issues with the BT that need straightened out.

how did you that?? i have a 2009 vw
My Nexus one will pair with my computer, but it won't send or receive a file. It won't even go to the trouble of discovering my jawbone earpiece. I'm really disappointed since this should be the simplest of tasks that such a wonderful phone should accomplish. I thought it was just my phone, but seeing this thread makes me sad that that nothing has been done and hopeful that it's more than just my phone and, therefore, there's the possibility it will be addressed in one form or another.
Ok, I played around some more tonight with bluetooth.
It works with my Motorokr speakerphone great. I can talk, make calls, etc... works well.
I got the bluetooth tether working too.
I still have not been able to get file transfers working though. They look like they send, the phone thinks it sent successfully, but the computer says the transfer was interrupted. I'm not as concerned about the file transfer as I was about getting the tether working.
paired the nexus one to my '09 Nissan GTR ... works perfectly fine ... everything works as it should, calls come in perfectly each and everytime ... i do however, leave my BT running 24/7 on both the car and phone
Just got my x10 few days ago.
was trying to link it to my car via bluetooth.
I have a 09 mazda 6
the bluetooth hands free and aduio works well with my previous device, which is x1.
but for x10, it shows that link is successfull, but when i play the music, there is no sound comes out from the car's speaker at all.
so then I tried with hands free, so i make my frd to call me, the display of the car does show the number, but when i picked up the phone call, my frd's voice wont come out from the car's speaker as well, it comes out on the phone's speaker, during the main time, both car's mic and the mic in the phone, wont get my voice, my frd didnt hear anything.
my other frd, which owns a 09 arcura tsx have the exactly same problem with me.
does anyone else have the same problem with me ?

I have the same issue with my connectors in my car (mercedes benz 09 12V) hands-free and stereo syncs with the X10 but does nothing at all. I think this is in particular a bug to be fixed with the Android update. I dont really mind since I use the car´s system to bump it up.
hopefully the 2.1 will fix this, thks bro.
Connection to car audio system via auxiliary cable
Hi, I am new to the forum and this is my first post.
I tried to connect my X10 via auxiliary cable to my car's audio system and I am able to hear music through my car speakers but if I want to use this method to call someone I can hear the ringing and the other person through car speakers but they cannot hear me, even if I speak directly to the phone's mic. The only way they can hear me if I unplug the auxiliary cable from the phone. Does anyone know if there's a solution to this ? Thanks,
i have nissan 370z touring with bluetooth. works fine my with car. shows phone number and i can place calls and receive calls fine.
Hi - I've got a few bluetooth options - A retro fit bluetooth kit integrated into the car stereo for my work phone - which work with my X10 too.. A sun visor mounted blue tooth kit.. which works fine.. and a jabra bluetooth headset.. which also works fine.. !!
Sorry for that.
The bluetooth works for me very well in my car. Renault Megane '09

Hi
I connect to a Parrot 3100 with no real issues. I did get better performance when putting the latest firmware on my parrot.
The issues I DO have is from the key lock. If its on, I have many issues with phonebooks, answering calls and ending them.

To fix this you need to plug in the sony adapter that came with your phone, then plug in your auxiliary cable to that adapter then your car system. The x10 doesn't recognize mic that aren't manufactured by Sony, so they have to pass through the adapter for someone to hear you on the other end.
I am trying to use my x10 with nokia's bluetooth carkit 7w. I get an connection, then it disconnects, shows its connected on the top of the screen, but i'll be buggered if it is. I have to reboot the phone to get it to connect, and then o repeat the sequence of events. If this is a compatibilty issue, can anyone recomend a carkit?
X10 connected to Toyota Prius hands-free with no problem. But turn on X10's bluetooth before turning on your car.
Sound like most of you guys showing off your car more fine
My bluetooth have the same problem (chrysler pacifica 06) and locale suck as i have to flip on the phone for bt to turn on.
It is 50 50 chance it pair up for me

I have no problem receiving incoming calls via my car HU, JVC double din Touch Screen DVD HU.
I have not test on the music portion though.
Has anyone experienced the following bug: Make or receive a call using a bluetooth headset. A2DP or not, this doesn't matter. Then, use the voice command feature or try to record with Tape Machine, while your headset or car kit is still conencted. The microphone won't activate. This is quite aggravating if I try to use the voice dial or map finding capabilities while in the car... anyone else experience this?
i have the same problem when my phone is plugged into the aux in my car. the mic just stops working :/
I can verify this issue. I most want to be able to use this feature while in the car and using hands free, but I can't.

It's annoying - my EVO didn't do this before I returned it.
I ordered a few inline microphone adapters for $2 each on ebay with free shipping - they're the things that allow you to use any pair of headphones with a cell phone as a headset. That should solve that problem, but it'd be nice to be able to use the phone mic when it's connected to my car stereo, as a speakerphone.
I guess the way Samsung saw it if you plug in a headset with a microphone(like the one included with your phone) you would then have 2 working microphones and get an echo. We all know this ends up being a problem in scenario #2 where you plug it into the AUX port on your car, but I guess Samsung did not consider that the most likely usage.
The best solution would be to have a software toggle to pick if the microphone is turned off or not.
This topic is basically the same thing, might want to continue the discussion there. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7986072
I wonder if, on the Epic, this is a hardware thing we're stuck with or if there truly is a software fix.
If the hardware wasn't built to detect when there is/isn't a microphone by checking out the connector, we may be SOL.
While I'm sure the rationale may be the same, please note that this thread, though similar to the 3.5mm headset thread, specifically references bluetooth. The issue happens even if the headset is paired - independently of whether or not it is in use. That's the problem.
just unpair bluetooth when you want to use the speech. only work around so far.
I just assumed that I could use any bluetooth microphone for voip, voice recording etc. I currently do not have any bluetooth device but I tried 3 at a friends and they all paired for sound, but failed to work in using a voice recording app or a voip app. In a voip app the sound went strange (long sounds on the dial tone buttons) and then the sound resumed coming out of the tablet even though the headset device was showing as connected. Only a reboot solved this.
So I assume the bluetooth stack doesn't support recording, but why not? Isn't this a basic thing at this point? If I connect a bluetooth headset with mic that should be my input and output on sound for the time it is connected.
Or has anyone had success with a certain bluetooth model for recording?
No one can provide info on this? Is this the norm for tablets? I would assume even some ancient gingerbread phone would work with bluetooth headset/mic.
Does cyanogen team ever modify the kernel to include more functionality such as this?
I'd check other bluetooth threads around this section, but I've heard several people who've used bluetooth headsets with Nexus tablets. It may be a setting issue (particularly the device setting under bluetooth and the app settings concerning headsets).

Same here, Plantronics bluetooth headset works perfectly for voip calls using Talkatone.
Thanks for the info. I don't have the model names off-hand but I'll ask my friend what they were. I wasn't aware that once a bluetooth device was paried that there were any additional options. I was under the impression that it was simply pair and use. With the case of a headset/mic I assumed it was inherited as your sound output/input for all apps while paired. The voip I tried is csipsimple and a voice recording app. I'm glad to at least some models work but I hope it isn't hit and miss and you have to be selective of what bluetooth device you use but rather something I was doing.
I didn't expect there to be any settings as well because even with no bluetooth recording device paired, I don't see anywhere in the settings recording recording (like mic volume).
Can't get mine to work. Single ear set I don't even get sound. Just dead air all around. The Southwing SA505 stereo gets sound fine but no mic function and on Groove ip no sound or mic on single ear or stereo. I even checked the settings making sure bluetooth was selected.
I'm from Canada so I can't try talkatone as I can't get google voice. I now purchased a btheadset. It pairs fine and I hear audio in all apps but I haven't found one app yet that works with the bluetooth mic. I wanted a voip sip app. I've pretty much tried all the free ones and other users have posted comments of bluetooth issues as well. There are a couple of paid sip apps that claim to support bluetooth, but I don't want to buy them to only find they don't.
So yes, android supports bluetooth mics, my thread title is inaccurate, but it seems the vast majority of recording apps do not have proper bluetooth support. Can someone name any app besides talkatone, even a voice recorder that works with bluetooth so I can just test it?
I'm actually surprised it's this bad. Bluetooth audio isn't that cutting edge. It should pair and now act as your soundcard so to speak. I initially thought to blame the OS because I thought any app that requests to play a sound or record a sound, would be re-directed by the OS to now use the bluetooth device.
I'm pretty sure it works exactly like this on windows. Or for example, I have a usb headset on my pc. It shows up as a soundcard. I make it the default and every app now uses that. No developer had to code to use a usb headset/mic, it just works.
Again a little disappointed that it's been a little trying just to get a bluetooth headset to function properly. I tried 3 at my friends that all pair fine and work flawlessly on his playbook in all his apps, and now I bought 1 so it's hard to say all of these bluetooth headsets have quirks and don't work properly with android.
Still trying to get this working. It pairs fine, and shows in the bluetooth details as being connected with phone audio and media audio.
It's a Aluratek ABH01F which I've read great things about. It supports a2dp. I'm not too familiar with bluetooth and microphones so I'm not sure if there is anything else to check for android to support a bluetooth microphone.
I don't know why I didn't think of it before but I tried google's voice search and it doesn't work either. I can hear the audio fine, just no mic.
Can anyone confirm if google's voice search works with their bluetooth mic? You probably have to walk out of the room to verify it's not the units mic that is picking it up obviously.
I'm not convinced bluethooth mics work at all on the nexus 7. I could chalk it up to my headset just doesn't place nice with the nexus 7 but again I tried 3 bluetooth devices at my friends. I found this post on another site:
Well, I got around to testing a bluetooth headset. single earpiece, Avantalk AH28. Not the best, but it works fine with a phone. Paired with the tablet fine. I dialed on groove ip - dial tones came from the tablet, the ringing transferred to the earpiece, when phone was answered there was no sound transmission at all- not from the bluetooth earpiece, or from the tablet. Just dead air. Tried it twice.
2nd test- google music played from tablet- not into the earpiece.
I have a stereo bluetooth headset with mic that I can test with but will have to charge that one up first. Will get back to you.
************************************************** ****
Got to my stereo Southwing SA505 bluetooth test. It worked to play music from tablet beautifully. Did not work with groove IP- went in and made sure settings were set for bluetooth- Mic did not work.

Again, I hear audio fine via bluetooth, so I wonder if some of you were thinking the bluetooth mic was working but it was actually the unit's mic.
This app called tapemachine specifically states it has bluetooth support. It fails for me when I change it to bluetooth in the settings, can someone else try it?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samalyse.free.tapemachine&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5zYW1hbHlzZS5mcmVlLnRhcGVtYWNoaW5lIl0.
So I'm starting to think my thread title is correct. If I am, I'm hoping there is a way to hack some file changing the available audio profiles. I've read others doing something similar with different devices when the manufacturer disable those audio profiles. I would find it doubtful that google/asus would do this though.
Anyway, if anyone can try that app, or confirm that say grooveip is using the bluetooth mic and not the device. An easy test is tap on the unit mic while recording and see if you or the person you are talking to hears that.
No one? I know a couple of you said it worked, but are you sure grooveip is actually recording via the mic? I can hear phone calls using various sip apps with bluetooth, but I know the mic isn't recording. One of the headsets my friend has is a Motorola MOTOROKR S9 Stereo Bluetooth Headphones. Link here: http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-S9-Bluetooth-Headphones-Packaging/dp/B0017KTOJK.
I've only tried stereo headsets, so maybe that is the issue. The Motorola HS850 is a single ear piece, I'm not sure what plantronics set you have.
I'd really appreciate if someone else can verify if bluetooth is working. If bluetooth recording in fact works with the nexus 7, I must be really unlucky with 4 headsets that don't, which I find highly unlikely or nexus 7 has poor bluetooth support. The only thing left is my bluetooth hardware is broken which I find even more unlikely. Aradreamer, you say you've seen several posts saying bluetooth works, but I haven't found one post explicitly stating bluetooth recording works. I found more post on other forums clearly stating it doesn't work.

odd odd ...
first off i have the Nexus 7 16g with it rooted.
heres what i did first i bought the samsung HM1200 didnt thoroughly test that 1 because i figured it just wouldnt work with the device ( or was broken ) once i started to get all this screeching out of it... i heard sound momentarily then all it did was the screeching at different levels. returned it yesterday. then i added a couple more bucks ( about $27 total ) and got the plantronics M20 took it home and crossed my fingers. got it all it paired up and what not and ended up with the same condition except now the mic is working perfectly. i tested this thoroughly now over and over inside and outside and also away from the N7 to be sure the mic is working. this is great BUT i cannot hear any sound at all coming in to the N7 except the same screeching at constantly varying levels. this is with both grooveip and talkatone. i also tried uninstalling beats audio and rebooting but i read somewhere this wont change the drivers back to the originals and i still have the same condition. i just got the N7 about 3 weeks ago and the store where i bought it has a price guarantee so i am today planning to return it and get the N7 again but this time the 32g version. ( they got 2 left so i will be going ASAP. ) so almost all the work i put into setting this thing up is about to be wasted. still i am going to do it anyways. to me its just the point of getting the best i can with my available budget/resources and i can easily see this thing be full and kicking myself in the butt for not doing it. this time around i will test all of what i mentioned here BEFORE i root it. in fact i will only install the necessary apps ( grooveip/talkatone etc.. ) during testing. its a real pain in the butt but it is a MUST i have this thing working as a phone with BT asap. thanks for the input and i will report back later.
update: actually in a more quiet room i was able to hear myself on the BT headset but very very low and in the background behind the screeching. still will report back later with the new unit.
For some reason the Bluetooth headset profile on the n7 is totally broken. I tried MANY headsets and none of them work. It is either the drivers, the hardware or the kernel. I hope it fixable in the 3g version.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
yep i am sitting here now with the 32g N7 and the first thing i did was try the BT unrooted and its the exact same thing screeching like mad can hear myself on the mic perfect from the other phone and can hear the other phone low in the background of the screeching on the N7 ugh
i have a temporary solution that should work till its sorted.... i need a new headset for my computer anyways so ill just make sure to grab one that is USB then when my OTG cable arrives i am pretty sure that should work. it will be corded but at least i can use the phone somewhat normally for free. ill let you know. now im off to rebuild the whole thing back to where i had it in the 16.

Bummer. Hopefully they fix it with 4.2 or with the 3G version.
It also seems that if you try to toggle speakerphone / BT headset in various voip apps the tablet will crash and restart.
I tried with GrooveIP, Talkatone and the build in phone app (After changing the framework-res.apk file).
I also noticed i had better luck getting the BT headset to fully (and randomly) work when doing outgoing calls. It never worked on incoming calls.
Any progress on this?
I've noticed the same problem and just returned a BT headset due to the problems in GrooveIP & Talkatone
As a side note I was able to get the BT headset to work as a MIC with the google voice commands by using the following..
- Soundabout
- Under BT settings set it to force mono BT mic
- Set audio to wired headset
Just as ref, I'm using my N7 in my car, so my setup may be a bit different.
But this worked, I was able to tell my N7 commands and it would read out the response over my car speakers.
Anyone had success with a USB mic? Curious if that will work.
I'm very interested in this thread too.
I have a 32GB nexus 7, rooted and unlocked. I have a Platronics M100 bluetooth earpiece. My goal is to be able to dictate to Evernote through the BT earpiece. It is pairing and under the connect settings it is showing up as "phone audio". But when I speak into it nothing is happening in Evernote. I also do not get media audio through the earpiece.
My Sony xperia Z accepts audio from bluetooth microphones, but only during a phone call.
When the call is terminated the paired bluetooth mic becomes inactive and the phones built in microphone takes over. I have tried many apps but none will accept audio from a BT mic.
I have tried a number of headsets and speakerphones and they all behave in the same way. Sound is not a problem as the BT speaker simply replaces the phones internal one when paired.
The xperia Z has a setting which claims to: " record audio through bluetooth headset if available", but this setting does nothing. I keep retrying the setting at every android update, to no avail. Currently at 4.2.2.
When I plug in a wired headset, the speaker and mic simply replace the ones in the phone. Why doesn't bluetooth behave in the same way?
This issue has been raised in many forums, in relation to many android devices, but never answered.
