Loud background noise for recipient when using headset? - OnePlus 6T Questions & Answers

This is my first OnePlus phone, and for the price, I'm mostly satisfied. One issue I have is that when I call people using a wired or wireless headset, they complain that the background noise is too loud especially the music that plays at grocery stores. This doesn't happen if I'm connected to my car or using speakerphone. I searched and it seems like this was an issue in the OP5 which had a "Noise Cancellation" setting but I can't find that in the 6T.
Has anyone experienced this? And if not, what brand/model headset are you using? I'm having issues with Skullcandy - Method Wireless and Skullcandy - Ink'd 2.

Strange Bluetooth issue

So, I started using a bluetooth headset recently, and decided I really like it. However, I have been getting complaints from people about a buzzing noise when I answer the phone via the headset. I have tried quite a few different headsets, and all with the same issue, which leads me to believe it is a phone problem. My phone is set to ring & vibrate, and I find myself wondering two things: 1) Has anyone else had this problem, and 2) Could the phone be somehow transmitting the sound of the vibrating to the headset or something?

Bluetooth for music and phone?

Hello, i'm new to having BT and i just got my tilt yesterday. One thing i need to do is get a BT headset, but i'm having trouble finding out if a BT headset will transfer any audio to the unit instead of phone only audio.
I want something that will let me listen to my music or video, and it will need to make some sort of indication that a call is coming in and let me take the call and then go back to the music when the call is done.
I don't want something that has some HUGE boom mike that resembles the head gear i have to wear for work.
I've heard a lot of good things about the Jawbone's noise canceling and sound quality, so i'm leaning towards that. I've looked in many places but haven't heard if the Jawbone does this.
I'm not concerned about stereo audio at all. As long as all the sound goes to the headset and plays in my ear i'm happy. Stereo is completely not necessary cause i'm deaf in my right ear and couldn't hear it even if i wanted to.
I think the Jabra BT8040 does this but is the noise canceling as good as the jawbone?
thanks in advance
Snow
edit: Maybe what i'm asking is, "Does the Jawbone play music and do calls?" I dunno, i'm confused lol
Any BT ear piece like Jawbone can have all sounds diverted to it by using a small free app called BTaudiotoggle. Do a search for BTaudio. It works great.
If you are deaf in one ear, the Jawbone is fine, the BlueAnt Z9 is smaller, cheaper, and Louder than the Jawbone. I have both and they are two of the best earpieces.
Thanks! That was just the information i was looking for.

the jabra bt 3030 is good as well,nice bright blue flashes when calls come in,and can take any ear gear with 3.5 mm plug,mono or stereo.

Call Audio vs Media Audio with Bluetooth Headset

I recently picked up a Bluetooth Headset, and I was quite surprised to discover that my G1 was pumping ALL audio into the headset instead of just the in-call audio. My main problem is that I use Telenav GPS, and when it talks I can't hear the person I'm talking to. Ideally, the G1 should be playing the call through the headset and the GPS sounds through the built-in speaker. Is there any way to force it to behave that way?

Making calls via car audio impossible?

Hey,
usually I have plugged my phone via cable into my car radio. So I can listen to music and making calls and I can hear the other side crystal clear over my car speakers.
So it was with Galaxy Nexus.
But with Nexus4 it seems to be impossible. My partner can't hear me.
It seems, that the noise cancellation is active and filters my voice out.
Thats very annoying! Has anoyone made the same experience or a solution for this problem?
I don't know of there's a software solution. Simple $30 hardware solution is a Belkin Bluetooth car adapter. Works with calls and music. Nice. Check Amazon.

I take my calls through Bluetooth to my cars radio and it works really well.
Yea I can confirm the problem happens when on auxiliary in the car, I also made a thread about the same issue http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2027956
Yes, I've seen this too late, sorry!
On Nexus One we found out, that there is a line in the build.prop, which enable/disabel the noise cancellation.
But on N4 I can't find this service.
I don't have bluettoth in my car and it's a software problem. Why is the Noise cancellation enabled while using handsfree? Thats very dumb.
Used the phone through my AUX input in my car to make a call the other day, bit of a delay in the person hearing me at first but after that no problem...could have been a bad signal on one of our phones too causing the initial delay too

Phone call audio not routing through 3.5mm jack audio cable or headphones

This is a general appeal for ideas, but mostly directed at Havoc [Havoc-OS v2.8 2019-09-09] users - I need your help. I've searched high and low for a solution and at this point I need someone else using Havoc to confirm something for me. The issue is phone call audio routing when headphones or 3.5mm audio cable is plugged in. On my old S2 for many years when I was driving I'd connect an audio cable to the 3.5mm jack and it would send audio (music, audiobooks, podcasts etc) to my car stereo. Then if I made or received a phone call, the audio from the other party would also come through the car stereo and the phone mic would easily pick up my voice a metre or so away, just like it would on speakerphone mode for a regular call.
Now I have an issue with the Note 4 where all regular audio out, music etc, will go to the car stereo but for some reason it isn't routing phone call audio to the car stereo OR the phone's external speaker. They can hear me fine from the Note 4 mic but I hear nothing. In addition, the call recording reveals that their voice IS being recorded along with mine....but there's no way for me to hear them.
I have tested this at home as well with regular wired headphones (not the handsfree type designed for phones with a mic on the cable), just plain old headphones I use to listen to stuff at the PC. The same thing happens: music and other normal audio goes to headphones but I cannot hear any audio in a call.
This is weird and I can't figure it out. My old S2 did this effortlessly for many years through multiple different ROMs and still does it now running Nougat. In my searches I came across what appears to be a solution, one of the only apps of it's kind for many years called SoundAbout, but it crashes straight away on my phone, and I read the same complaint from several users on Oreo onwards. The app seems to have been abandoned by it's dev years ago.
I've looked everywhere in Havoc settings and I can't find anything obvious that addresses the issue so I'm turning it over to you smart people. Any ideas? Before you say something like "just use a bluetooth headset in the car" - No. I'm not looking to change anything, I just want this (very simple) thing to work as it has for years, since Gingerbread! Btw, I only discovered this today for the first time as I'd never tried it before so I have no idea if it would have worked on earlier versions of Havoc or any of the Oreo ROMs I ran.
Thanks guys.
TLDR - [Havoc-OS v2.8 2019-09-09] phone call audio not routing to car stereo via 3.5mm jack, all other audio goes out just fine.
