I hope someone is able to help me.
Okay I have the Wizard, upgraded to Wizard Mobile 6.
Shortly after, all my bluetooth devices (car kit, headset...) had their microphones die. In other words nobody could hear me when speaking through any kind of bluetooth.
I then flashed the Radio ROM to a different version, and bluetooth was repaired. But now the problem has returned for no reason.
Why does my Wizard's bluetooth audio in keep failing, yet its speaker works fine and I can hear other people?
Is there a recommended update to the Bluetooth Stack I can try?

I do have exactly the same problem. After flashing XDA Mobile 6 Release 3, microphone has worked for couple of days, and then suddenly died. Interesting, microphone is working with Notes but not with phone. I went back to
XDA Mobile 6 Release 2 for some other reasons (read: 2MB more free memory for critical application) but the problem with Bluetooth microphone remains. Radio is 2.25. Any advice?

There are also at least 3 people at the Wizard Mobile 6 thread with the same issue. Very surprised none of the experts here have been able to propose a fix. Makes the phone virtually worthless if you can't use it in the car etc.
As a workaround, I have found if you mute then unmute the phone volume, the issue is sometimes temporarily resolved for a short time. It always comes back though
I have been asked to join this thread. Per a PM:
We love the ROM you have provided, and are very thankful, however it was not until installing it that this issue arose. It does not seem fair to leave a number of people with a phone that is unusable for 'phone calls'.

I don't know what to tell you. If the rom doesn't work for you, then don't use it... Don't tell me its "not fair". I use MS Voice Command, and XM6r3 and have never seen this issue with my Bluetooth headset (Jawbone). I've also tested this out with a Plantronics Explorer 210 headset that I have and it has not problems with XM6r3 either. My A2DP headset (Spider) also works fine on XM6r3 with MS VC. I've stated this in the past when people have said they have BT issues on my rom. Sorry, but I can't reproduce it, so its hard for me to fix something that isn't broken for me.
Try this... Do a hardreset on your device (take a backup first if you want), then leave it as the base rom with NOTHING extra added. Run that way for a few days (how ever long it has taken before) and see if the problem happens again. If it doesn't then its not my rom but something being added to it (probably screwing with the registry someplace). If it does happen, then as I've stated before, I've seen a number of BT devices be flakey on WM6 (especially car kits). Try a different rom then. If someone with the problem can pin it down, I'll be happy to do what it takes to fix this issue if its something in the rom that is causing it.
Thanks mfrazz. What wasn't fair was not the bug, but that you had not responded to previous mentions of it, i.e. not fair to leave us with it. We love the ROM and put a lot of our life in your hands in a way, as we rely on our device so much for work and play. Hope you understand.
Now then, I have already tried a hard reset and the problem never occurs, until WM6 is put back on. Sure, 'use another ROM' is all very well, but we love yours - again, hope you appreciate the sentiment. If you're in a relationship, are you the kind of guy who tells a girl who loves you, 'find another boyfriend', or do you try to make it work
SO, I am wondering if this is related to the glitch you mention where sometimes when switching out of vibrate mode, the ring tone becomes muted. For that, your solution is to play the ringtone again, then it becomes unmuted.
Similarly, our Bluetooth devices mic's are being muted, and if we mute then unmute them again, then they become unmuted. A link that helps point you in the right direction?
Please note, this is not certain bluetooth devices being 'flaky', this is ALL devices. 4 at the latest count, including rock solid Nokia CARK7W car kits and Jabra headsets.
Some people put it down to MS Voice Command, which I have never installed. What does that program do, do you know, to cause the bug? Again I hope that might help point you in the right direction.
Please don't dump us Let's try to fix what is wrong in this relationship
BT problem solved?
CJSnet - not sure if you have resolved this. I was having the same problem and noticed people with reTouched dialer were not, so I loaded that dialer and the problems went away. I am using a Plantronics Voyager 510. Seems the problem might be with the standard dialer.
Hope this helps

Thanks, I'll give that a try. However WM6 has pretty much finished the Wizard for me, and I'm hoping to get a TyTN II soon as a replacement. Shame.
OK,
So I'm trying to get some help regarding this issue. I will continue to try different ROM's and what not to see if it can be resolved. I'm simply at a loss to where the issue lies though, however as of today, every custom ROM has been giving me trouble. My plan for today is to flash a stock ROM via Odin and then if that works go for Imperium, however I'm hoping with your help I may be able to solve it on something like CM12 or what not because I prefer the flexibility of a proper custom ROM.
OK, so the issue I have:
I have a car head unit which has bluetooth built-in. Music plays fine through Bluetooth, no jitters or issues. However, when I try and call someone and I'm listening to the radio or something non-Bluetooth, the phone does not send the signal (?) to the head unit to switch to Bluetooth. This means the call will be made via the dialer app and while the audio IS being routed through the bluetooth channel, the head unit does not know about it because it hasn't received the signal to switch to Bluetooth. I can switch it manually to Bluetooth and make and receive calls, but this isn't convenient at all and probably quite dangerous when I'm driving a car. The same applies when receiving a call.
Here's the thing, if I go into Bluetooth, select CAR KIT and go configuration, if I disable Media Audio, then it works fine! The phone correctly sends the signal to switch to Bluetooth and the head unit does so. The call goes through and it all works fine. This is repeatable.
Therefore, the issue I'm having lies in the fact both Media and Phone Audio are enabled at the same time. Has anyone else had this issue and does anyone have a suggestion to fix it?
Before someone suggests "just disable media audio". My answer is no, this isn't convenient at all. I use Bluetooth media quite a lot, and simply disabling and re-enabling it everytime simply isn't an option.
So far, I've had this issue on:
CM12.1 Optimized
CM12.1 Nightly
Mokee ROM
DirtyUnicorns
CM12 Nightly
I'm yet to try a stock Lollipop ROM. I know for a fact however, that stock KitKat DOES work.
I really could do with some help here, so any suggestions would be awesome.
all the roms you have tried are aosp....aosp is not designed for the s4 as its not an officially supported device (its not a nexus) so things like bluetooth and the camera will always be broken as the required stuff needed is proprietary to samsung
go back to stock and your problem will be solved

The Bluetooth itself is fine. Audio quality is fine. Call quality is fine. It just seems like a tiny little thing that's causing all these issues for me, because if it could trigger my car head unit to switch, I wouldn't even dream of stock. Also the camera seems fine to be fair?
I'm not keen on going back to stock.... at all, so I'm thinking Imperium. It's a shame though because apart from this BT issue, CM12 is fantastic on this device. Takes a 2 year old phone and makes it feel like a brand new phone.
I really hope someone can fix that Bluetooth bug in CM12.1. I may even look myself, it must be something pretty small from a coding perspective because as I said, the functionality is clearly there as evidenced by the fact it works with Media audio turned off.
Regardless, thanks anyway
Changing the modem did not solve my problem.
When did you try the Optimized and the nightlies? There have been a lot of fixes lately regarding bluetooth.
Hi and sorry if i do not found such a topic in some discussion. I tried to search but didn´t found it yet.
My problem is that i have a new Yotaphone 2 YD201 with latest update (as far as i know) 1.1.124 , which i got OTA.
And i´m not sure if this was happening also before the update, cause i didn´t tested it before with Android 4.4.
The problem:
If i set up a call or got a call and talking some times over my bluetooth headset, the colleagues asked me that i sound like under water.
Sometimes it happens within minutes, sometimes longer...
If i switch to the mobile phones microphone everything is working correct instantly.
I tried several bluetooth headsets, which are working well on other android phones.
Then I tried the soundrecorder SW which is on the device and found out, that the bluetooth sound isn´t recorded well, means it´s very dull and quiet.
If i put my voice directly to the mobiles microphone (although bluetooth headset is still connected), the recorded sound is louder but still far away from a good quality.
But it doesn´t change, if the bluetooth headset is switched off and the soundrecorder is used directly without bluetooth headset. Still very dull and quiet.
Can anybody please test this with his Yotaphone 2 YD201 to check if only my phone has a problem, although i do not believe that it is a HW topic.
Is there some known issue or bug regarding this topic and has somebody any idea how to overcome this problem, cause without using a bluetooth headset, the phone is unaúsable at all for me.
Thx and nice evening
Cheers
neo
Meanwhile i contacted the Yotaphone Support and there was a very fast answer.
Problem is known by Developers. They are working on a fix and keep me updated.
So, lets see if and what will ever happen...

Hi Neo,
I have the same probem with my Yotaphone 2.
I bought the new Bose QC30 Bluetooth, the sound is very bad for my contact.
I found something working : plug the headset Jack, and then test to phone by bluetooth.
if the jack is plugged when the bluetooth mode is selected (before or during the call), the microphone from the bluetooth is good.
if you unplug the jack during the call in bluetooth mode, the microphone is operating yet properly.
Why ???
same problem here
hi everyone,
is there any update on this issue? sadly cant use my headset anymore.
thx, luke
Isn't there a solution just above?!

thx for the good ideas ... Luke

Hi, thx for all the feedback- I also tried this CN Radio + the topic with the audio jack but none of them are real workarounds.
It seems that the CN -Radio brings some other issues for me, like unstable LTE connections + problems with SRVCC (switch from LTE to 3G/2G) in some handover situations. These problems were not available before.
So i installed the RU stock again and sorry to say it- sell the phone - It´s a nice phone and for people who do not need the bluetooth headset nearly the complete day- its a very good phone, with a great idea.
By the way- the support from Yota was quite good and they tried to help me as well as they confirmed the bug is known by the developer, but this help that much at the moment- so i´m back with my P9000 now...
Have fun with the mobile and appreciate the ideas of Yota devices...
Cheers

I seem to also have this issue on the EU version. Is it a matter of the antenna? I've ordered one of those cheap 3.5mm jack antennas to try out.
The odd thing is that bluetooth audio is fine with both speakers and a headset, from a variety of distances. I don't understand why the microphone is affected.

I would be interested in how you did that, my gf is getting upset as she can't use her bluetooth handfree set while driving... she has the yd206 model, build EU 1.1.124, i already thought of installing RU buil then ota update to 1.1.134, but i wonder if this would change anything.
Thanks.
any news?
YD206 model too
Hi, I have a YD206 model and same problem with the mic with bluetooth.
I am not sure if I had this problem with Kit Kat, but as I am using bluetooth in my car everyday for my job, I think that problem was from my recently Lollipop update.
bluetooth mic: any news?
Hello, I have the same issue with YD201. Phone calls over my car's integrated bluetooth sound fine to me but the people I speak with say I sound like I am in a pipe or underwater.
Has anyone found a fix?
Thank you!
YD201
Android version: 6.0.1
Baseband version: s01_003_4240_RU1_M05
I did a factory reset on my Android 6.0.1 and the problem seems to have gone away. I did try other radio firmwares before which was a wasted effort.

I'm having troubles using my G6 (lineage 14.1 installed) with my car Bluetooth. Music plays fine but phonecalls are a nightmare, I can hear the person I call but he/she can barely hear me because he/she does hear a lot of noise (just like when you blow on the microphone). I'm going to test it with my friends cars as well; mine is a Mazda and is working perfectly with a old LG G3, few One+, few Samsung Galaxy and a Lumia.
Anyone else having the same issue? Any tips?
Thanks
How did it work with the stock O/S?

I.m pretty sure all the custom roms for H870 have calling over BT broken so far.
This is the only reason why I'm still on stock Oreo rom. I need my BT calling working.
Apparenttly it's a driver issue as US version of G6 doesn't have this problem on custom roms.

Good question; honestly, I don't know. I just bought the phone last week, turned it on just to see it worked, did shut it down and installed Lineage.

Head over to Aquarius rom thread as there are a few guys claiming the BT calling issues have been fixed.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg...ios-8-1-0-live-support-theming-t3808498/page3
Any working solution? I tried viper4android but It did not solve the issue.
I noticed many bluetooth options on rom menu settings, working somewhere gives good response?
Seems like car bluetooth phonecalls with my H870 running lineage 14.1 20181221 nightly do work on a brand new Kia Rio owned by a friend of mine. I'll give it another try with my cars as well and also few other friends cars and see if bt calls have been finally fixed or it's just the Kia the lucky one
I installed GSI Roms like Pixel Experience, RR both ROMs have issue when using bluetooth call.
Tried with Skype or Whatsapp call, sound will go to phone speaker.
Bluetooth audio (non call) is fine though.
I tried to do bluetooth call from my pc using the same headset and it works normally.
Anybody having the same issue ?
Need help please
It's a massive issue with Android 9, not the Nokia 6.1 plus in particular. I'm returning my 6.1 plus tomorrow due to this problem. It cost me more than the phone to have my car's Bluetooth firmware brought up to be fully 5.0 compliant, but it made no difference.
Google completely **** the bed with Bluetooth on this release, and from what I can see online there's no fix in sight. Android die hard users are jumping ship to Apple all over the place due to this problem.
Short answer, if you want working Bluetooth calls on this device, flash an 8.1 Oreo build, then it will work.

I suspect the same thing.
I saw phhuson have bounty for GSI bluetooth call issue.

Punch your symptoms into google "android 9 bluetooth call problems" or "android 9 bluetooth car problems" and you'll get hundreds of forum listings with thousands of examples of the same or similar behaviour, usually but not always associated with a stock android device such as any android one handset, or the pixel etc... Some 3rd party builds are also affected, OnePlus and Samsung users are reporting problems.
