Maybe this isn't the right spot for this but i'm having the issue on my new 6t so thought i'd start here. We dont get very good cell reception (Cricket Wireless) at our house so i've been using Google Voice and its WiFi calling and my work calls are forwarded to that number to my cell and working great on my old phone w/ a wired headset. Fast forward to new 6t w/ no 3.5 jack and my headset broke.....(i know i can use the included USB C / 3.5 dongle but i'd have to get a new headset and also i cant charge when i'm using that then)
anyways i'm trying to use my bluetooth headset (plantronics legend) and w/ normal cell calls the phone works great! Google voice works w/ it as well as long as i set it to use cellular which doesnt work at my house. If i turn on the Prefer WiFi option it works fantastic for coverage but almost never pushes the call to my BT headset and no way to choose it. and the 1 time i got it to somehow the other caller said i sounded like a robot. is this just not supported or am i doing something wrong?

I am not having much luck with my new headset.
First time I bond the headset it works fine, but once bluetooth tools shuts down the bluetooth after a call, the headset it never gets it back correct.
The headset will still link and the call button will take the call, but I can't communicate.
After you have taken a call on the headset, is there a way of getting the call back onto the xda?
I even tried leaving the bluetooth on all the time but that wasn't that successful either.
Anyone else using the logitech can they please advise me how they manage it's use.
Thanks.
I have been using logitech BT headphones love the unit. I dont have any problems except for the delay for it to connect to the phones. I have to wait for about 2 seconds before its connected to the phones when receiving calls. BTW I have been using it for the past 6 months. 8)
Do you use Bluetooth tools or just the stock standard bluetooth support?
Thanks.
I just got a TMOUS HD2 and had the same problems a lot of other people are having connecting it to my car. It connects to the car correctly, downloads the address book, but no sound comes through the cars speakers and the call doesn't register on the cars phone display. I searched XDA and there seems to be a bunch of registry change posts that don't seem to work all the time and disable some features. By doing the following I get it to work consistently with all the features enabled.
1) Turn off the data connection and Bluetooth in Comm Mgr
2) Turn on Bluetooth and connect (or pair) the phone with the car
3) Make a call
4) While in the call, turn the data connection back on
It works for my Land Rover RRS and stays working until I reset the phone. After I reset, I just go through the above procedure again.
I don't know if it works for every car make but it should work for most Volvos, Jaguars, and Land Rovers since most of them use common bluetooth systems.
Hope this helps somebody.
I am having the same issue. I have to manually connect the music stream. The phone stream always connects. Hoping for a fix from T-Mobile.

My car doesn't support A2DP - the phone's separate from the audio head. All the car's phone features work though - voice recognition, conference calling, transfer to and from the handset, and address book and digit dial. I wouldn't hold my breath for a fix though. It's the WIDCOMM Bluetooth stack that HTC started using with the TP2 so there are over a year's worth of complaints logged with HTC and no sign of a fix.
well, not much to be said for the Microsoft bluetooth stack either. I have a 2010 LR4 and can't get my HTC Raphael/Touch Pro/Fuze to keep a connection. Hard to know what the problem is, starting a WiFi or GPS session often resets the connection, in addition to the random drops, sometimes mid-call.
When I tried an iPhone though, it worked fine, naturally.
My Vibrant has been disconnecting the motorola h710 whenever another call comes in while I'm on the line. I have to then use the phone itself to answer and then click headset on the device before it routes the call back to the headset. Another annoying issue is that it doesn't give an audible warning before it does this.
I'm wondering if this a normal operation of the phone? If it is, I may have to bring it back. Using bluetooth happens to be a big part of my phone usage.
I currently don't have access to another bluetooth to test but its proven to work fine on my 3GS and the Mytouch 3g.
Thanks
Edit:
What is a good bluetooth earpiece (not headset, sorry about that) to use for phone calling. I want to use the tab as a cell phone.
I use the BlueAnt T1. About $80 at Bestbuy. Excellent headset except that the T-mobile Tab isn't set up with voice dialing.The BlueAnt headset has voice dialing capabilities but the tab doesn't...as far as I can tell anyway.
Other than that the BlueAnt does everything that I need.
Bugman do a search for voice dial, or bluetooth dial.
There is a thread with an .apk that makes the tab work on BT voice dial

I used Nokia BH-905 BT headset. It works with Skype too.
Quality is superb.

I'm using the Motorola SD9-HD. This is a stereo headset that works well for music, as well as phone calls. Bought it online for around $45. I've used it with my Sprint SGT to make Skype calls and listen to Slacker online radio.
It will accept voice commands for dialing out on my Moto Droid but I don't think the Tab is set up for it.
I think that you guys misunderstood me.
I am looking for a bluetooth earpiece (not headset, sorry) that I can use to make and take phone calls from the Galaxy tab.
I need it small enough to put it in my pants pocket.
Thanks.
Oops! I think there are any number to choose from, although I never had much luck with Bluetooth headsets for longer than a few months. Not really sure why. For reliability I've pretty much standardized on cheap, corded headsets for everyday use.
I think the last BT headset I had was a Jawbone because it was supposed to use DARPA technology to cancel out background noise. After a couple of months it quit pairing, but I never determined if it was the headset, the phone or just a ghost in the machine.

I use multipurpose universal BH105 nokia headset. Works with tab nokia phone ps3 and costs around $15.
Dear all,
I post here since I wanted to get some idea on how the internet calling feature is working for you using a bluetooth headphone.
I have quite some experience with VoIP. Ran it on my SIP Phone since years, on softphones on my laptop, and now on Android with a GalaxyTab and SipDroid / native VoIP app.
I recently added to my GalaxyTab a Jabra Stone 2 bluetooth headset, it hooks up fine, so I moved from SipDroid on Froyo 2.2 to the Native VoIP client included in Overcome 3.1.0 / Gingerbread 2.3.3 because I was keen on the integrated bluetooth features (answer with the bluetooth button).
But I discovered the VoIP function using bluetooth is working properly only over 3G, strangely over WiFi I can't understand anything from the other end (the same with the incoming and the outgoing calls), it's like an intermittent / discontinuous sound, but strangely, everything is fine after 30-34 seconds, sound quality great, just like from the 1st second of an Internet call over 3G.
I repeat, it happens only when the WiFi is ON, if WiFi is OFF and I use 3G, everything work properly.
In these conditions the internet calling feature is not satisfactory.
I tried 3rd party software again (Cipsimple, Sipdroid, ecc) and even there the same bad call quality when WiFi is turned ON and I use a bluetooth headset.
I also tried a Blueant Q2 bluetooth headset, same problem.
Maybe somebody can give me some feedback.
If I can not find a solution, I need to sell and change OS, which I do not really want.
Thanks in advance, take care and enjoy your time here.

BT x WIFI
Ohhh it's bad I know.
I looked around a lot about this. Seems like there's not much we can do, due to the fact that the same antena is being used for WIFI and BT at the same time (at least thats what it says for my Tab).
I use BTmono a lot, to watch movies while doing other stuff. BTmono redirects sound to an old Motorola H500 I have here... and guess what.. Can't watch Youtube while using the BT headset! Sometimes wifi gets so bad that I get connection errors simply by reading emails.
The more sound you got going through BT, the worse WIFI will get.
If anyone finds any tips... I will be watching.
BTW: I've tested Wifi every way possible... no security/encryption and in each and every channel and speed. Nothing helps. I have 2 mono headsets, old Motorola and new Jawbone. Things are worse with Jawbone, which is actaully much better for talking on the phone.
I think it's something fixable...
why after 30 seconds you start to ear the other end perfectly?
can you confirm that?
thanks for your feedback,
Paula
