Bluetooth and Audio help!

Hello All,
Recently I upgraded to firmware 2.3.3 and noticed that now, whenever I'm connected to bluetooth ( I have an integrated hands free link in my car) my audio from my phone would be rerouted to the car stereo. Due to my heavy navigation dependency on my phone, it is a lot easier for me just to have the voice navigation coming out from my phone speaker. Is there a way to change the settings back to prior to the 2.33 upgrade that only calls go through bluetooth and everything else stays the same? Thanks for all the help and advices!

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 !

SM-G900F - Android 6 - Whatsapp voicecall on Car Bluetooth issue

Hi guys,
I’ve been using my Galaxy S5 G900F for over 2 years now, and I like the device very much.
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!
Adam.

Samsung Galaxy S8 Bluetooth issues

Update @ 22-04-2017:
Somehow.... the Bluetooth issue just fixed itself.. I didn't change any settings.
It just started to function normally the next day!
It's still a mystery to me... but I'm glad it works fine now
______________________________________________________________________________
Hi,
I just got my S8 and I love it! Everything works well.. except:
When pairing the S8 via Bluetooth with my Parrot MK6100 carkit it won't sync the contacts from the phone to the carkit and when I play audio it streams it all scrambled.
The audio trough the carkit sounds like the phone is very far away and it's about to loose the connection. Actually the connection with the phone was dropped a few times while streaming audio. This only happend when I paired the phone the first time. The distance between both devices is about 30 centimeters...
Normal voice calls are ok.
The carkit has the latest firmware version 1.03a. I already did a reset to factory settings.
It works fine with other smartphones like my previous Sony Xperia Z3 and LG G4 running Android 6.0.1.
Samsung customer service was unable to help me with this issue. According to them, no other complains have been registered about Bluetooth issues with the S8 so far. At least in the Netherlands.
Streaming audio to other Bluetooth devices from the S8 does work fine.
Does anyone have any ideas on what the problem could be? Could it be Android 7.0.1 or maybe the S8 itself, as it features Bluetooth 5.0??
And of course, any ideas on how to fix it?
Thnx,
Lorand

hi! Same issues on my S8+. Bluetooth doesnt send notifications to smart watch, also doesn't auto connect to BMW. And cant find any solutions ..

Help with Bluetooth Connection problem Please

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
