All Bluetooth device Mic's dead

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.

Please help me

Hi ! I have HTC Touch and I install VOIP on my phone from http://rapidshare.com/files/92563405/WM6Voip.rar . I installed those two files WM6VOIP and SIP configuration and everything works just fine. However, when I try to make a call from VOIP the sound comes from the back side of the phone, and I have a hard time hearing the other party. I've read somewhere that other people has the same problem so if anyone can offer a solution I would appreciate it.

that is how it goes - You get much better results with headset or headphones. Give it a try.

AFAIK everyone has this problem and there is no known workaround.

I try to use headphones and the result is the same .However thank you for answer.

Funny - I have the same issue when using without headphones and it is full of echoe, but when I plug in my HTC Headset - calls come through loud and clear though the headphones rather then through the back speaker (and no more echoe). I don't understand why it won't work for you. Sorry.

Bluetooth can place calls but not receive them

I have a problem and have't been able to find any information on it. I have a TMoUS HD2. I had an original Jawbone lying around so I paired it and it works perfectly. I decided to pick up a Jawbone 2. I paired it, but it developed a problem. While outgoing calls are no problem, I cannot answer calls with it, nor can I initiate voice dialing with it. Incoming calls are routed through the handset. I deleted the pairing, and re-paired it to no effect. I also tried the original Jawbone again and it again worked fine. What I don't understand is why it initially worked properly, then developed this problem (with no changes to the phone).
Any ideas?

me too
Same problem with Proplantronics headset, new to me handset formerly T-Mobile just loaded this ROM:-
RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.48.405.2_Radio_Signed_15.28.50.07U_2.05.51.05_2_Ship.exe
If I find the answer I will let you know.

well, it was probably me. I was answering with the handset rather than the earpiece. it didn't matter with the old one, but it does with this one. chalk it up to unfamiliarity with the newer unit. either that or the phone woke up in a better mood today.

sorted
Yes, thanks for that, pressing the call control on the headset is the answer, also found the autoanswer option which should also fix it. Lots of stuff seems to be hidden away on 6.5.
Still learning after all these years.

Bluetooth Cuts off In Car

I have a new issue, and need some ideas...
I have a Mazda 3 2014 with built in Infotainment system, and I can of course place calls from it over bluetooth. My Nexus 5 would dial, and as you expect the car remains connected and the audio and dialling occurs through the car system. With my Nexus 6P, the car talks to my phone, and then immediately cuts off the bluetooth, a bit like a failure to communicate, but the phone will then carry on calling, and only if I try to dial from my car, and if the person has answered does it then lock on and maintain the call via the car system.
I can not find anything in either settings to explain it.
So, anyone have any ideas crutually why the 6P fails me where the 5 worked.

I have the exact same issue. I have a Mazda CX-5.

Would be the same system if yours is the current model too. Guessing it was fine on your previous phone too?

Yes, I think so. It is a 2016, so it is the latest system I suppose. I had a Samsung Galaxy S5 previously and it worked perfectly. This is my first Nexus, so I thought it was a Nexus thing at first, however it is really annoying. It is hard to explain because the bluetooth kinda works, it just has this thing that it drops and picks up again...

Bluetooth working fine with my 2013 kia forte. Maybe something to do with Marshmallow and Mazda Bluetooth system?

Yea, it is kind of hard to explain. Only found out today, so not been able to test it over and over, but seems that unless the other person answers, you have no idea it is dialling. It is like it (Mazda system) is being told it an not carry on. I once had the same issue (Nexus 5) when there was another phone option and it was waiting for a default to be set on the phone before it dials. It did not do it today, but I wonder if I make sure it is set in settings as the default right....
... nope, only app for calls is the inbuilt.

It seems like some people are having similar issues? --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/help/bluetooth-phone-completely-borked-t3241196
I had the phone for a couple days and tried some things like upairing/re-pairing with no results. I discovered it when I called my wife, the call dropped (or the car did the call drop sound) but all of the sudden my wife answered. I tried calling different numbers and it's the same deal. I haven't tried receiving a call.

And I have the same issue with a 2015 Honda Accord Hybrid. I don't have the issue with any of my other phones. Google Support doesn't know why it's happening.

Reading this https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=189188 it seems clear it is Marshmallow on many devices and systems

Nice find. I'll chime in in that thread. I hope Google can solve this soonish since it is kinda a major annoyance at the moment.

Yotaphone 2- Bluetooth issues with microphone

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?!

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
Neo

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.
