Bluetooth and Sony HBH-DS980

I have now tried 3 different bluetooth headsets with my AT&T Tilt with Stock Rom. First was my BlueAnt V12 I used great with my RAZR then I bought a Motorola S705 now I have Sony HBH-DS980.
With the BlueAnt V12 the audio was low and tinny and couldn't hear the caller
The Motorola S705 sounded good minor choppiness but the callers couldn't hear me worth a damn. Both of these devices paired great and kept connection, only the Motorola would loose connection if I got a system alarm or if I was streaming music. For just handset operation it worked great. With the Sony it seems to be a crap shoot when they are going to work. I installed JetWare to enable Caller ID Name and Ringtone through headset and when I pair them the first time they work great all day long. However if I turn bluetooth off on the phone and then back on I have issues with disconnecting and sound not going through headset for calls.
So I installed the new Official AT&T Rom from HTC's Site the other day hoping the bluetooth improvements they made would help. I decided to try JetWare again just to see if it worked, again I started having problems again. So I hard reset and didn't install the JetWare Extensions. For the first day everything worked great. Next day I fired it up it's up to it's old tricks of disconnecting after a call.
Anyone else having these issues? My state is going to be bluetooth only while driving in about 4 months so I really need bluetooth to work.

Can you charge the sony ds980 via usb?

No it has a real strange plug for charging

Hi, I have the Sony Ds980. I've experienced similar problems in the past.
check your Bluetooth settings on the phone: communication manager --> Settings --> bluetooth. Select your device (ds-980) but don't double click on it. and then check its mode: in that window, ensure that you have checkmarks in both options (i.e, Turn on bluetooth & make sure this device is visible to other devices). Sometimes, when you restart your bluetooth headset, the second option is left unchecked, thus causing disconnections between it and the device.
another option is to trigger the headset button. sometimes, when a call comes in, I would have to do this once or twice before it connects.
I think it is a bug.
i have the Jetware extension and MSVoice, and they help with the caller ID.
HTH,
rgds, Manny

I'm trying to decided between the DS980 and the Moto S9.
I'm so tired of wasting my money on crap.

Thanks I'll have a look at those settings, I just wish JetWare uninstalled nicely
I have been running it lately without JetWare and the only issue I am having this way is the wireless stereo portion disconnects after each Incoming call it does not do this if I place a call.
With JetWare I can sometimes keep it connected no matter what the issue is it connects but when I place a test call it rings on the headset but when I answer the call it isn't comming in on the headset it is still on the phone although the call button works and ringing on the headset works. It got to be a pain to have to place a few test calls to make sure the headset was working.

Well, that does it for me. The DS980 is officially off my list.

Bluetooth Head Set Is Not Working On All Rom's?!

hello guys ..
after flashing so many rom's i have tried to connect my bluetooth headset .. but can't hear the phone calls and the music as well the bluetooth head phones is working on the htc desire official rom and its not working on my samsung galaxy s rooted.. Any Ideas?

did you pair the headset to the phone?

I have been using bluetooth first day I had the phone and never had any problem. Well...1 slight problem. The bluetooth will drop the connection sometimes during the day, and I have to manually pair them again when that happens. This is quite irritating though as I usually found out when someone called and I cannot answer using the headset. I take all calls using the headset BTW. I am using the SE DS980 headset.

When you go to the bluetooth settings, click-hold your bluetooth headset until the context menu pop-up, select options. Do you see a tick on the "Phone"?

yeah i see to ticks ... on the phone and on the media all ticks.. i think i the media only is not working .. but the phone calls is ok.

then try another ROM if you used a custom rom

I use a bluetooth stereo headset for when i go jogging, no problems. Is your headset a certified headset? (not samsung certified, but Bluetooth certified) Does it support V2 +? If not then its not compatible as the SGS supports from bluetooth 2 to 3

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 !

Redmi 3S bluetooth headset call quality bug?

Hello guys,
I have a Redmi 3s with MIUI 7.12.7 dev (xiaomi.eu)
from long time ago, when i use bluetooth headset (now i am using an xiaomi one) and try to make a call, when i hear the people im calling answer my call, i can't hear them clearly and so are they. I can hear the sound like (hello: h...ll..o) so i can't hear what are they saying.
I change the bluetooth headset, same problem. I take that headset and connect to my Mi5, and i can hear everything normally.
When i use bluetooth headset to listen to music, everything is good, no disruption like when i make a call
I tried to disable VolTE but the same poor quality call happen ( Im using 2G network only)
What is the problem with this 3S phone?

Same problem here, with my Redmi 3S :crying:

No ringtone is coming out of device when bluetooth headset is connected

I am having a problem with my bluetooth headset and my Mi A1, which I bought recently.
When the bluetooth is paired, no ringtone is coming out of the device on incoming calls, just on my headset,
which means I get a lot of missed calls since I don't have the bluetooth in my ear all day long.
All sound settings are on and on high volume.
I have tried 5 or 6 different roms. Same problem with all of them.
The bluetooth headset (Xiaomi Mi Headset Basic) worked perfectly on my previous phone (HTC M7).
I also paired it to another Xiaomi phone (Mi Max 2) and it worked perfectly as well.
I tried to pair another bluetooth headset (PLT E500) with the Mi A1 and it had the same problem with the incoming calls.
No ringtone.
Any suggestions?

On some roms you can choose to make it so the ring tone rings from the phone and not headset even when it's paired, maybe it's in stock too. Maybe there's an magisk or xposed module

Pie has setting for this in Developer options.

You are right, I haven't this option too with the latest February Pie update. But my old Nexus 5X with 8.1.0 still have it (Enable in-band ringing):

I reread your OP carefully and I am very surprised by your problem.
Because for me the ringtone is coming out of my Mi A1 or Nexus 5X (both with the latest stock ROM and stock dialer) when bluetooth headset is connected and I remember that this has always been this way from Nougat through Oreo till Pie now. Tested with Plantronics Explorer 50 and Jabra Elite Active 65t.
Funny thing is that I wanted the opposite, to have silent ring on device when wearing BT headset, because I have my BT headset switched on only when I am actively using it so it would not be a problem for me to have sound only in the headset when I am actively use it.

I'm yet on 8.1 stock rom, i don't want to upgrade yet on 9, and i have similar problem.
I have two bluetooth handsfrees, one Xiaomi and Platronics. The problem is the same with both of them.
When is connected to Mi A1 if i receive a normal call the smartphone will ring on the smartphone and on the headset normally.
If i receive a call via apps (What'sApp, Viber etc) then the smartphone doesn't ring even on the smartphone or the bluetooth headset...
I have search it and could found any solution yet...

I have the same problem from the Android 8 and now continue the same problem and on Android 9 and i have two bluetooths headsets one Xiaomi and one Plantronics. I can't find any solution...
I have reported this and at Xiaomi with build-in report problem App two times on both versions...

Can you please suggest for this problem?
I am also facing same issue with boat Bluetooth 255 headset.
Not able to listen phone rings.
I m on latest oct pie update
Problem Resolved. On connecting Bluetooth, Sounds options changed in sound setting.

I have the same issue with redmi 4a with pixel experience rom
When connected to bluetooth headset, can't hear the phone ringing, the phone vibrates
But I can hear all other notifications and sounds, but can't hear the phone ringing..

I have the same thing on Mi A2 Lite. No ringing tone on incoming Whatsapp, Signal calls, when phone connected with bluetooth headset. All other notifications (messages etc) audiable. How did you bypass this?
