Car stereo has bluetooth. I finally hooked up a microphone so it's usable in the car for making calls. When I place a call everything works fine, but when I receive a call I can't hear the caller, although they can hear me fine.
Anyone else experience this and find a fix?
Running the latest official AT&T release with no modifications.
Yes, I keep finding this myself and I have discovered the "problem" and solution
Basically, any incoming calls default to handset speaker and you have to manually tap "bluetooth" to transfer the call to the headset/handsfree. When making outgoing calls, it defaults to Bluetooth from the offset so no problem!
What I do not know, however, is how to force it to default to Bluetooth on incoming call...
I have not seen that issue and I use BT in my car a lot. BB351
Something else that could be the case: Are you listening to music through A2DP bluetooth at the time that the call comes in? It's possible that the transition from A2DP to headset protocol is what is "blocking" the call from going straight to the handsfree?
chaosdefinesorder is correct, you could have a misbehaving music app (or any other app with audio over bluetooth, such as navigation).
I know that PowerAmp and Playerpro both work well with bluetooth with the music stopping when a call comes in.
I was listening to FM radio at the time. When the call ends it always go back to whatever I was listening to.
So next time I should tap the phone button on the radio instead of sliding the button on the phone, apparently.

This was it. I have to answer the head unit, not the phone.
Operator error.
Hi all,
I have a strange error with my Galaxy S3 when connected to bluetooth.
The first problem is that sometimes I hear distorted voices when answering or making calls and people say that they hear the same. Sometimes I just redial back and that solves it but sometimes I have to reboot the phone before it starts working.
The other issue is that while in a call I cannot transfer the call back to the headset. When I press the button and choose the headset I can hear the other side for about a sec and then it just disappears. Transferring the call back to the bluetooth sometimes help but most of the times I have to end the call and dial back.
This is really annoying cuz I make a lot of calls from my car and cannot exit the car before ending the call.
Worst thing is that my wife has an iPhone and that works great there!
Any suggestions will be welcomed!
Hi everyone,
On my Mega 5.8, whenever I call or receive call on Whatsapp, the other person can hear me, but I can't hear the other person when I'm using the phone's earpiece. If I plug in earphones, or put the call on loudspeaker, then I can hear the other person just fine.
I know the earpiece isn't broken because it works when I make/receive cellular and facebook calls.
Does anyone know a solution to this? I've tried reinstalling whatsapp, resetting the phone to factory settings, reinserting the sim card.
A strange issue is happening:
The earpiece speaker of the phone doesn't work during normal calls, the audio always comes via loudspeaker automatically and the button to switch to loudspeaker/speakerphone during call also doesn't work.
Strangely, it works fine during WhatsApp voice call.
Any idea, what may be the issue and how to resolve it?
Today I have noticed an strange issue that is occuring with my a50s device. Whenever I am on call or whenever I put my call on bluetooth earphones the mic is not working as a result of that I am not able to speak with the microphone by the way my microphone is working completely working in different applications.
Check for update
Check for update on your phone...I had same issue. In my case, the speaker stopped working while video calling, be it whatsapp video call or zoom call.
