I have a Blue Parrot headset, I've used it for the last two years or so, it worked great with my V10. On the Essential (nougat) the ringing when making a call is so faint I can't hear it while driving, I can't hear it go to voicemail either. However once the other side answers I can hear fine. If I turn the volume all the way up I can hear the rings, but when they answer its extremely loud. I've tried toggling the bluetooth in settings, I've re-paired the headset, and rebooted several times. Any ideas? I seem to remember having this issue on my last Blue Parrot with my S3, but I don't remember the fix.

I nearly always use a BT headset for calls since the Wing is a pain to hand hold while talking.
Nearly all people I talk to complain of a "screetch" type of sound when I answer a call with my BT headset. I've tried three different headsets, same result. The noise does not happen when I initiate the call, and I cannot hear the noise when I answer the call. at frst I thought it was just a one time event, but callers tell me the problem is consistent and loud enough that they keep their phone away from their ear when I answer.
Using a stock Wing (TMO factory ROM) with either a Jabra BT500 (most of the time), a Plantronics 590 or a Plantronics 6xx headset, same result with all.
Anyone experience similar or have ideas how to resolve?
Noone has mentioned it to me yet (just got my wing yesterday) but my MDA definitely did that on occassion. Only did it when it was on vibrate too...I think people were actually hearing the mechanical vibration on their end. And it only happenned via BT...which made it even stranger since that meant the mic wasn't even part of the phone.
Amazing, that's exactly what the problem was!
Apparently even when you answer via BT, the internal microphone is enabled for a second or two and it picks up the sound of the vibration motor.
Thanks for the advice, now to gripe to TMO or someone about the problem for what it's worth.
my mda has been doing the same thing for the past 2 days... but on all calls incoming and outgoing without the bt and it starts up with the bt but stops after a second.. is there anything to do to fix it?
Hello everyone, my Hermes worked a looong time very fine but now i cant hear the normal "beep" when i adjust the volume. Also i hear no conversation when i phone somebody. Alarm sound is off too. I hardresetted it once but it didn't help. The weird thing is: I can hear the ringing sound when i get a phone call?!
It looks like the other person can't hear me either, thats a bit weird because i thought this isnt a speaker but a microphone problem... Two components crashed on one day? WTF? Need help
I have seen this problem with a different htc phone.
their may be a bit of dirt across the miniusb contacts making the phone think it is connected to a headset.
plugin a mini usb cable and waggle it round a bit then test calling someone hopefully that should cure it for you.
I have a very very similar problem with my Vario II. The sound is VERY intermittent. Sometimes it rings but when I pickup there is no sound either way, from the earpiece or mic, the other person cannot hear me. Most of the time the phone just vibrates (set to Ring and Vibrate) so I know there is a message or a call coming...not that I can answer the call. Tried soft resetting it and even changing the ROM, only works for about 5 minutes then the sound is gone again.
The device only works as a phone with a blue tooth headset, the rest of the time it is just a PDA....that vibrates.
Hi all
My Sennheiser VMX-100 headset worked fine on my HTC Rose (WM6) but isn't playing ball reliably on my new Nexus One. Here's a list of symptoms i've noticed:
- Place a call. Screen goes blue. No audio. Call connects. No audio. Press answer button on headset, get audio. (If you press answer before the call connects it drops the call though).
- Place a call. Screen goes blue. No audio. Call connects. No audio. Press answer button on headset, get no audio.
- Call received. Answer with headset. Audio, but no mic, other party cannot hear. (also does this sometimes with placing a call)
So pretty much all call/failure scenarios are observed with this pairing. Has anyone else seen this, or perhaps are interested in debugging?
Thanks
nb: Phone not rooted, running the recent OTA software.
Anyone?
I've got a vmx-100 that I haven't used on the N1, I'll give it a go and report my findings. Charging it now.
Update: 3 calls in/out worked fine, no audio issues.
I tried my VMX-100 today, as my main headset went dead. Guess what? It wouldn't work. I answered the call, but there was no audio.

Aha! At least one of my issues has been reproduced by someone else!
I'm not really sure how I could get these issues properly addressed. I doubt Sennheiser would be interested and no idea how to trace/track the problem on Android?
Nine time out of 10, the phone rings and plays the ring tone but, every now and then, it rings but with no sound as if the phone's volume had been muted. (have not tried it with a different ringtone yet...).
Not done anything different with the phone apart from connecting my plantronic voyager pro +. Even with headset connected, you can still here the phone ring independently.
Have looked around on the site and it would seem that the only other experience of this is with the headphone socket which, in this instance is irrelevant.
Anyone got any ideas??
whoops, can a mod please move this thread to the general section.
Allen, a while back I was running in to an issue where my phone would lose all sound, I would only notice when a phone call would come in and I happened to notice the flashing light. It turns out that for some reason if I reboot my phone with the headset still plugged in the phone would lose its sound until I unplugged the headphones and rebooted again. I think the problem has since been resolved but I'm still in the habit of unlpugging my headphones before I reboot. By any chance are you rebooting before you notice this happening?
Hello,
When people call me I speak through BT and they sound loud an clear. However when I try to listen to a voicemail I have to be in a dead silent room to even remotely make out what they are saying when playing back through Bluetooth. I have the BT volume turned all the way up. I switch to speaker, they are loud and clear. I'm not sure if this is an android issue or an LG issue.
Also no problem with google driving directions through Bluetooth. THe only time BT is too quiet is when playing back voicemails. I have to switch to speakers every time.
How do you listen to voicemails? Through phone by dialing the voicemail number or through a voicemail app?
Good question. It turns out that the apps is what is quiet. When I dial *86 my voicemail is loud and clear. Any suggestions (other than not using the VM app)?
I ended up trying another VM app and it didn't have the volume issue. Thanks for pinpointing the source of the issue.
Glad it's fixed. Ive only ever tried the T-Mobile voicemail app and it works alright except for the fact that it doesn't turn the screen off when trying to listen to the voicemail and if I manually turn off the screen then it stops playing so the only way I can listen with activating stuff with my face is speaker mode or Bluetooth headset.
