Hello, mates...
Im facing problems when calling via bluetooth after upgrade to Lollipop (OTA zip file, from 4.4.4, stock, root). Theres a big delay in audio when dialing, so I have no audio either in phone and in car radio for more than a minute after dialing. The rest is working well, receiving calls has no delay in car, and I can connect to bluetooth speakers immediately.
Ive tried to delete and repair devices, but nothing works. Anyone suffering the same problem or this can be an error due to image a have installed?
Thanks in advance
Also having similar issue with the bluetooth audio and there's a bug reporting thread on Google about a bunch of people having the same issues. No fixes that I have seen.

Hi
I have a weird problem when talking via Bluetooth devices connected to my Galaxy S3.
When I talk via a Bluetooth device, whether it is a car kit or earphone, after few minutes the phone speaker turns on and I hear myself.
In order to get back to the Bluetooth device, so I can hear the other side, I have to turn the headset from the device and turn it on again so the phone speaker is off again.
This problem was started since using 4.1.2 roms (XXEMC2/XXEMB5). I was using the leaked 4.2.1 before, and I had no problem with this issue at all.
This is very annoying. Has anyone experienced the same behavior?
Got a nice Bluetooth mystery here for any sleuths out there.
I think I got Catlog to record the problem in progress but it's going to probably take a dev to decipher the log entries.
Summary of problem
Bluetooth headset randomly fails for calls only. When problem strikes I can still play music but no call audio.
Problem is not headset specific. I have tried three separate LG tone headsets & 1 Plantronics Voyager headset. This problem occurred on both brands.
Calls audio never fails until Bluetooth headset is entered into the picture.
Details
Here are some additional bullets on what I know about this issue:
Randomly disconnects call audio, both input & output
Not a full BT disconnection. Can still hear audio from other apps
Only restart of phone will restore connection, briefly
Happens several times daily
I ran the Catlog on this rooted SG4 (BT issue was happening before root, btw) and managed to catch the problem in progress.
Just for a little more context, here are the simple steps I went through in order to run this little test while recording with cat log.
Start recording on catlog
Test call to make sure phone works as a baseline
Turn on BT headset
Call from/to Mom's phone repeatedly until reproduce error (only took two calls)
I'm hoping someone can go through the logs and see if they can ID anything that would help isolate a possible cause for this problem.
I can't tell you how much I would appreciate any help getting this sorted out.
This is been a very elusive problem. I cannot use any kind of Bluetooth headset until I get it resolved which really puts a damper on my work.
I'm also providing a link to the document in Google Drive since the file is too big for attaching to this message.
Device info is attached, though.
Thanks in advance!
Hi!
My hands-free set in my car was working well with my old S4 mini with Android 4.4.4. Now I upgraded to S5 with android 6.0.1 and I have now the problem that the bluetooth connection is lost after random time. Is this problem known or are their any new bluetooth settings I can check?
Thx!
Same problem witch become a month after upgrading lolipop to marshmallow ! ??
Same problem here - any solution?
Hi guys, I am having the same problem - were you able to find any solution?
Here a detailed description:
I am using Galaxy S5 G900F, and ever since the MM Firmware upgrade to Android 6, I have been experiencing the most annoying problem, and I am not able to find any reference to it on the web – I have been googling it forever, but it seems no one besides me is seeking advice on it:
When connecting my Galaxy S5 to my car’s Hands-free Bluetooth and performing a Whatsapp Voice Call, the call initially runs over the car’s Bluetooth, but after about 30 seconds the call goes back to the phone’s speaker.
Nevertheless, Whatsapp continues to show the Bluetooth icon turned on, as if the conversation were still running over Bluetooth.
Pressing the Bluetooth icon in the Whatsapp call twice (disconnect and reconnect Bluetooth for the call) moves the call back to the car’s Bluetooth, but then again after about 30 seconds the call goes back to the phone’s speaker, still showing the Bluetooth icon as connected within the application.
A few important things to mention:
a. Regular voice calls are working perfectly over the car’s Bluetooth
b. This used to work before
c. I installed the Lineage 14 – Android 7 – ROM and it resolved the problem
I am looking for a solution for the MM ROM, as I am using the great SuperLite ROM.
Thanks!
Hi all
I'm having this strange (but really frustrating) Bluetooth bug on my Motorola Moto X Style (XT1572) with Android 6.0. I already tried restoring the Phone to factory settings and without any extra apps but the issue persists. It just suddenly started happening (about a month ago).
Nothing has changed in the bluetooth devices that I use with my Phone. I connect my car using Bluetooth and if I'm not in my car, I use a Bluetooth hands free kit to make and receive my Phone calls.
About a month ago my bluetooth started acting weird. When I'm in my car and want to make a Phone call, it starts the call on my Phone but then my car says that something went wrong and the call couldn't be initiated, although the call is continued on my phone. I do receive my text messages on my car and can also sent them but I'm unable to make/receive Phone calls.
When I receive Phone calls, they don't come up on my cars media. However, my Phone says its using Bluetooth for the call and the bluetooth connection is up. When I'm having this issue, I can not disconnect the Bluetooth connection with my car on my phone. It refuses to disconnect and I can not switch to any other Bluetooth device. The same goes when I'm having the issue while connected to my other Bluetooth hands free kit. In the advanced bluetooth settings of the bluetooth connection on my Phone, I also noticed that when the issue occurs all Bluetooth functionality is checked (eg. 'Media audio'), except 'Phone audio'. 'Phone audio' is not checked and it refuses to check it (however it's not greyed out). When I tap on 'Phone audio' in order to enable it, you see it getting checked for like a few microseconds and then it instantly gets unchecked again.
The only remedy I found is to power off and start my Phone again. Very frustrating if you want to make a quick Phone call and that you have to wait 5 minutes each time or if someone is trying to reach you but they can't hear you and they keep calling back while you try to press the power off button and drive your car . Why do I even have Bluetooth .
I've noticed that when I keep my Phone powered on at night and let it charge, the issue is present. If I recharge my Phone while it's powered of, pull out the power plug and then power on the Phone, there is no issue.
It seems to me that it has something to do with the update process...
Any idea how I can solve this issue?
Previously I did had other bluetooth issues like sudden switches between the phone's speaker and the bluetooth hands free (without any clear reason), it would just switch the bluetooth audio off and on again. So imagine, I'm calling someone with my hands free kit and suddenly the sound is gone. I grab my Phone and hear the other person talking, I continue the conversation using my phone's sound, then the sound is gone again and I need to continue with my handsfree. Other times when the phone said it was using bluetooth audio, it actually wasn't and I had to select 'Phone speaker' and then bluetooth audio again to get audio via bluetooth.
I don't think it has got anything to do with my car's bluetooth or my handsfree because the handsfree works flawlessly with my laptop and the car's bluetooth also works perfect with my partners Phone.
I have the same problem as you and i've never found a solution someone could help us please
Anyone?

So basically since the December security update that was released in February? Yeah, we know... some people seems to have issues with Bluetooth since then, but some people don't, not sure exactly why. In the Lenovo support forums there is even some mention of Bluetooth issues (although they come short of admitting there is a problem) on the latest update.
If a factory reset doesn't cure it, then you just have to wait... we don't have the factory firmware images for the latest release to reflash and downgrading is a questionable solution at best. Hopefully the factory images become available or the Nougat update actually gets released and one of those fixes it.
Sorry, that's the best I have for you... which is basically nothing.
Hi,
I have an S7 Edge which exhibits similar behavior with different bluetooth headsets I own
During a Phone Call, the call will randomly disconnect from the headset and be played through the phone earpiece. The bluetooth device is still conneted and to get sound back through the bluetooth headset i need to disconnect and then reconnect bluetooth for that device...it usually happens again after a few minutes.
I have found that to fix this the only way is to go into bluetooth settings and disable 'media audio' and just keep 'call audio' selected
While this is a solution, it's a pain if I want to later use the headset for media audio (eg., other apps like music etc. on the phone) as i have to manually switch this over.
I haven't found any apps in the play store which help with this. Does anyone know if it can be fixed or have you experienced similar issues which you've resolved? I have tried to clear the cache as I found in some other threads, but this didn't seem to help
Thanks in advance for your help
