Bluetooth headset problems when calling / answering a call - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a weird issue using the Galaxy Note 4 N910F.
I'm connected to a bluetooth headset, Plantronics Edge in my case.
When I place a call, I must manually choose bluetooth from the call screen, in order to get the call on my headset.
Same thing goes when someone's calling - When I answer from the headset it answers, but I must press the bluetooth icon on the call screen in order to get the call on my bluetooth headset.
Happens on both KitKat & Lolipop.
Does anyone knows how to fix this?

I think that's normal since it happens on my Note 4 as well. I think what's happening is that the Note 4 is trying to save battery by snoozing the bluetooth module.

How to transfer calls to Bluetooth Headset?

Hi, all.
Hope someone can assist me. I'm using an XDA II that has been upgraded to 2.06 Windows Mobile 2003 SE.
I have enabled the Bluetooth Headset profile on my Today screen and calls will transfer over to my headset (SonyEricsson HBH-65).
My question is for the following scenarios:
1) The calls transfer over but sometimes the connection becomes lost while I'm still mid-way in the call. How do I instruct the XDA to transfer the call to my Headset again? Tried pressing the button on my HBH-65 but the call doesn't transfer.
2) Sometimes, I put on my headset but forgot to turn it on. When a call comes in, I realise my mistake and answer the call on my phone first but then I ask the other party to wait while I turn on my HBH-65. After turning it on, how do I transfer the existing call to my headset?
Hope someone can help with some advice. Thanks in advance
1) I currently use BlueTrek G2 and so far has got no probs at all.
2) The BT headset has to be running before the phone in call. For the BT signal it has to be sent right b4 the phone in call.
I guess that's how you can get ur headset running.
I've got that to my best. Good luck...
No problem with them...
i am using BHB-65 too, they are great ,man, i have no problem with them from the first time using.
1. When you want to connect to the headset, there's an icon near the phone icon, you touch on that , it will indicate the term to transfer the call back the headset or cut it out.
2. When you forgot turning on the BT headset, just turn it on and press "enabled the headset" (on the desktop, remember to "view the profile" in item "Today"), it will automatically transfer the call to the BT headset.
Wish you could do that.

Bluetooth headset and phone speaker questions

I just bought a bluetooth headset (SE DS220) which is working great - I listen to music and take/ring calls. However i have two strange issues I wonder if it is possible to fix:
1. While I am using the bluetooth headset my phone still rings if I receive an incoming call - I would like for the phone to be silent and for it to "ring" in my headset. If I turn off the sound in my phone then I can't listen to music either.
2. When I receive an incoming call I have to answer it with the button on the bluetooth unit - if I answer with the phone then the call is switched to the phones speakers. Is it possible to change this behaviour?
Thanks in advance!

If your Device switch to the Phone Speaker ... you havent connect the Headset Profil in the Blue Tooth config.

There is a tick in the box for the headset profile and the icon comes up in the status field. It only switches if I answer with the buttons on the phone.
Noone has any ideas? Hasn't anyone else this problem?
I am not sure, but why dont you just answer the call with the headset.

That's what I do - my biggest issue is the first question:
While I am using the bluetooth headset my phone still rings if I receive an incoming call - I would like for the phone to be silent and for it to "ring" in my headset. If I turn off the sound in my phone then I can't listen to music either.
BT headset problems
I have an xda2 i and I have the problem that even when the headet is connected, at times an incoming call won't broadcast over the headset at all, and equally if i dial out the call doesn't transfer to the headset.
Curiously, I've found the solution is to go into bluetooth manager -->active connections--> and click on STATUS of the head set connected. it should show signal strength and such. I double click on the CONNECTED message (oor maybe somewhere on the screen, basically double tap until it reads NOT CONNECTED ..... as odd as it sounds... this is what i needed... as when I do this, it usually works ok for me.
Maybe it will help?

[Q] Jabra Extreme2 with Epic 4G causes phone to freeze

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

Note 4 Exynos Bluetooth Voice Call Problem

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 !

Bluetooth Headset Dialer Problem...

So I recently got a Plantronics Voyager Edge headset and noticed an interesting bug...
Every function appears to work fine. I can communicate with the phone via voice through the headset. And if I search for a business or something and hit the call button in the search results, everything works fine.
If, however, I dial a number manually or select a number from my contacts - the call isn't immediately sent to the headset. I have to toggle the speaker phone and then back to the headset to get the call to go through the headset.
Anyone had this issue? If so, is there a fix you're aware of?
