I paired up my new Focus with my 2010 Acura TL yesterday. As I was driving home from work and talking, the volume from the car's speakers ranged from high to low and eventually dropped the call. I thought it could signal strength related but I had 5 bars so I tried again. This time the call didn't drop but the audio was horrible. Since yesterday I've tried to make calls in several areas of town and the call quality is just not very clear. If I talk and listen normally through the handset, the call quality is good. I have an HD2 that doesn't have this issue so I am wondering if this is Windows 7 related...
i have a bmw and have experienced similar results at times. though i think my iphone did have its own set of problems sometimes also. i have noticed the increase/decrease in volume before, though. it would be nice to know the source of the problem. likely the phone, not the OS i would think. my phone has never disconnected yet.
i don't make a lot of calls in my bmw really, but i'm getting addicted to the WP7 so i don't really feel like i will be able to trade in and go back to the iphone at this point if the problem is with the focus and not just needing a software update. though it would be nice to have an answer.
I am also disappointed in the quality of the Bluetooth connection between my Focus and my Acura TL (2009). I had the Focus with the same car, and no problems with the Bluetooth connection. With the Focus, the sound quality is terrible, and I often lose the connection between the Focus and the car. Not a dropped call, this can happen with 5 bars, its the bluetooth connection that drops.
Has anyone been able to improve their bluetooth connection?
The bluetooth in my 2008 Altima is useless with the Focus. It's all garbled up and just unusable. My original AT&T Tilt was the same way. I think it has something to do with the Bluetooth stacks used in these phones. Sadly, Nissan isn't planning on updating the firmware in their handsfree kit for my car, so I just got a good Blueant headset. Not the ideal solution, but it's better than nothing since I drive a stick!
I use mine with a clarion deck. Works and sounds flawless.
I have an aftermarket Sony deck in my car.. Bluetooth call quality is generally good but when it comes to audio streaming..it's hit or miss. I'd say 50% of the time there is always a loud 'hissing' sound in the background which makes the music sound like I was playing it off an old cassette. Other times the music is absolutely crystal clear without any hissing or background noise what so ever..as if I was playing it off a USB drive or CD. I use Slacker to stream music or songs stored on the phone through Zune.. same thing. At times I have to reestablish the Bluetooth connection several times before the hissing disappears.
I use my focus with a Sony BT Stereo and works fine. And all the in/out calls works flawless. Maybe is the BT profile (if the stereo don't have AD2P profile, the phone works in mono instead stereo).
I have the same problem with the sound volume going up and down. 2006 Range Rover. I finally gave up on using bluetooth in the car. My orevious HTC Focus and my wifes iPhone both work fine in the car
I have the Sony MW600 Stereo BT headset and a 2010 Mazda 3, both work flawlessly
I have a Nexus 4, still running 4.2.1.
I use bluetooth headphones with it which generally work. However, sometime they connect and media sound still comes out the phone speaker,
Disconnecting and reconnecting doesn't help. The awkward trick I've learned is to run the Vonage phone app, and make a phone call, which some how turns the media sound on in the headphone.
There has to be a better workaround than that.
I know there were some bluetooth fixes in 4.2.2, but I don't want to upgrade until I've tested LTE which rumor says is coming next month in Atlanta.
No replies? I can't be the only one seeing this.
I can be a little more definite. It seems that on the first bluetooth connect from an ad2p device after a reboot, media sound still goes to the internal speaker. As I mentioned above I happened on a terrible workaround. If I invoke the vonage app and place a call with it suddenly the bluetooth device takes over the media sound.
It's painful to have to make a call just to kick the bluetooth headphone into media mode.
I don't know if it is the same issue, but my ad2p cuts out sometimes and won't work until a reboot. (It still shows up as working, and sound stops coming from the phone, but...) On 4.2.2 here.
I'll have to give your placing a call trick a try.
Scenario I'd like to see:
Wired Headphones plugged in
Bluetooth connected to audio receiver
Music plays through audio receiver
Calls go through wired headphones
If a call comes in it pauses the music app and transfers audio to headset. As soon as call complete music continues.
I can get this to work on my Scotts Clean Rom Note 2 and iPhone 5 fine but I can't seem to find a setting or app that can allow this behavior.
Why?
I much prefer hearing music through my car speakers and if I get a call it's much easier to hear and talk through the wired headset.
Anyone else have this use case? Figured out an answer?
Just a thought since I haven't tired this yet.... What happens when you turn off phone audio(but leave media) for the car in the bluetooth settings on the phone?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Gave it a try, still reverted to headphones.
Thanks though!
I am using PAC MAN rom and KT kernal..
Bluetooth calls seem to be having an issue..suddenly the audio stops (some times after 5 - 10 mins) but I see the phone n car still connected...anyone has the issue?? This doesn't seem to happen when I connect to the charger..
noticed the similar behavior with music app and bluetooth headset. music stops coming from the headset after 10 mins or so but the bluetooth seems to be connected and the timer on the audio keeps moving...
Hey!
Since I've my Nokia 5, I have problems with the Bluetooth when I hear music over ny BT-Headset (Anker SoundBuds Sport IE20) or in the car.
Sometimes the music is stuttering, which sucks.
After a few weeks, I've noticed that I have this problem only when my phone signal is bad. If the signal gets better the problem is gone.
So I don't know why I have this problem, but with my old Galaxy S5 there wasn't a problem like this. Also I hear music offline (no Spotify etc) and the problem only shows up with Bluetooth.
I hope someone can help me
