Equipment: Moto X XT1053 running Android 4.4 completely stock; Plantronics Voyager Pro headset
Sequences:
--Start Bluetooth, connect headset to phone, dial a phone call; OR
--Start Bluetooth, connect headset, answer a call.
Symptom:
--Outgoing call either (1) begins and stays in handset mode or (2) begins in Bluetooth mode but reverts to handset mode as soon as the call proceeds from ‘Dialing’ to ‘Connected’
--Incoming call headset connection drops out the instant the call starts ringing and reverts to handset mode.
Incidence: Frequent, but irregular
Workarounds attempted:
--cold boot
--Disable headset Media Mode, cold boot
--Disable all and any auxiliary Bluetooth features (trusted device, etc)
--Enable all and any auxiliary Bluetooth features
Other tests and equipment tried:
--Using the Plantronics Voyager Pro on a Nexus 4 (Android 4.4) no problems.
--Using an older model Plantronics 520 bluetooth headset, likewise no problem whatsoever.
Why it’s critical:
For safety, I use Bluetooth headsets 100% of the time when driving—no exceptions. To have to pick up the phone, divert attention from driving in order to switch phone from handset mode to Bluetooth mode during a call is very unsafe
On the advice of Plantronics Tech Support, I updated the headset firmware. Problem solved.
As to who, what, where, when and why--quien sabe?

OK I just bought the most expensive bluetooh headset man can find the Jabra JX-10 hoping that I will not have the same problems I have had with all other plantronics and other head sets.
The headset paired and (I guess its connected, there is no indication on the screen)
Here is the problem:
When I make a call, I see the headset logo on the dialer screen. The voice however comes from the phone, not the headset. Then I have to I push the CALL button on the headset to TRANSFER the call. (If my timing is not perfect and I push the button "before" the call is actually CONNECTED and there is someone talking, the phone will simply HANG UP.
Can the phone just send the calls to the headset at all times (unless I am in my car that has bluetooth?)
THANKS FOR ALL THE POSTS!!
I uninstalled touchflo and un-paired and re-paired the headset and it is working properly now.
I paired the head set both as a wireless stereo and as hand free and it works good except 1 thing:
while I press the button on the headset to make a voice call with voice tag (which works perfectly for me with others simple headsets) ,I can't hear the beep telling me to say the tag and also i can't hear the confirmation of the tag I said.
The system IS working and the phone dials what I said,but i can't confirm while the pda is not in front of me
If I disable the "wireless stereo", I can hear the beep and the confirmation.
Does anyone know someting ?
Besides this the sound of the headset is amazing
Voicecall
Yes, I experienced the same thing with my WE-COM (cheap ) stereo bluetooth headset. If i want to make the headset activate the voicecall i have to first turn off the wireless stereo in the bluetooth connection screen. So, i leave the wireless stereo turned off most of the time. Only when i want to sit back and enjoy wireless stereo music or watch a movie using bluetooth, i turn on the wireless stereo.
I wish it can be automatic but i can't find any other ways other than manually turning the wireless stereo off and on acording to my needs.
Since my bluetooth is inexpensive, I am happy that both the wireless function and the phone function works. The shop person who sold me the bluetooth didn't know how to get the phone function of the headset to work with my u1000 at first. I had to fiddle with the pairing and setting up for quite a while at his shop. Suddenly it hit me that the pda was confused about the headset having 2 different functions and it doesn't know how to automatically switch between the 2 functions by itself. So i just have to use the bluetooth setup screen to command the pda to respond to just one of the function at a time. And it worked! So i bought the headset. And the shop was happy to make his sale.
My bluetooth headset pairs and connects but when I make or receive a call those calls are not routed through the headset. It's like my headset was not even powered on but it does show that its paired and connected. In order to route the calls through the bluetooth headset I have to hold its power button for about 2 seconds then the call is immediately routed through it. But once I hang up the call it reverts back.
Is this normal for android? Every other phone I have ever had worked differently - if the bluetooth headset was paired and connected calls were routed through it, always, until it was disconnected.
It has worked this exact same way with 3 different roms. Unfortunately I'm not sure how it worked stock since I never connect bluetooth before I rom'd it. I'm using a motorola H505.
Okay, I got a Motorola H375 and it works perfectly. Looks like an incompatibility issue with the H505.
Hi, I need to know Galaxy s Bluetooth can pair and connect automatically to car audio system ( mine is pioneer ) ? Please if someone has tested let me know !!
Pairing has been working fine with my Pioneer DEH P 700 BT, I get in the car, turn BT on if it's off and it's paired a few seconds after turning on the stereo.
Sound Quality (for Music, there never was a problem with phone calls) has improved noticeably with the Froyo beta builds compared to Eclair.
i don't have pioonneer but i do have a Clarion CZ509
and yes it does automatically connects everytime i start my engines
i don't even need to touch a single button
it automatically switch between BT music to BT phone, and back when the phone call is over
Hello everyone, I run into a really weird problem on my Note 4 when receiving voice calls while using a bluetooth headset.
Summary:
If BT headset is not already connected before initiating or receiving a voice call, you have to press bluetooth button during the call to direct sound to phone and then back to the BT in order to get the mic on the headset to work.
More Details :
1. Incoming Voice call
2. While phone is ringing i turn on the bluetooth headset.
3. I answer the call(Either from phone or the headset)
4. I can hear the other party, but he doesn't hear me.
5. The bluetooth headset mic is not working, neither the phone's mic.
6. If i press the bluetooth icon on the phone(while in a voice call) to direct audio to phone, everything works fine.
7. If i press again to direct audio back to bluetooth headset, everything works fine.
8. If the headset is already connected to the phone before i receive the voice call everything works fine.
9. If i make a voice call (maybe cause headset is already connected?) everything works fine.
10. Problem doesn't occur if it's a VOIP call through skype viber etc.
10. Using plantronics Marque M165 & M55, I have unpaired both repaired, cleared bluetooth cache etc problem still there. Lollipop 5.0.1.
For me it's a big issue since if i have the phone in my bag/pocket i have to take it out in order to be able to use the headset, which kind of defeats the purpose.
Anyone facing this ? Any suggestions?
Sorry for the long post & thanks in advance !
Anyone?
Anyone with similar problems ? Any ideas or suggestions ???
Yes, I have a similar problem, but with my car's bluetooth (the only hands free I use). This problem started after I upgraded to Lollipop, and it worked fine in KitKat.
With te device connected to the car's bluetooth, I have to make the call in the phone's Speaker mode until the other party answers. Only then I can switch to bluetooth.
If I make the call in bluetooth mode, I won't hear the ringing through the car's speakers and even after the other party answers, we cannot communicate.
This is a serious bug. It is my 4th Samsung Galaxy phone, and the only one that doesn't work properly. My previous S4 worked perfectly and I regret profoundly having bought the Note 4.
Ironically i don't face the problem you have. Mine works fine with my car's BT but i suppose this happens because in my case the car's BT is already connected to the phone.
I suppose you have tried to repair the bluetooth/ cleared BT cache etc right ?
I've just tried the phone with a Samsung bluetooth and problem solved !....So it doesn't play well with the plantronic's BT , warning for potential buyers !
