[Q] Bluetooth problems (incoming calls) - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
Can't find any info on this topic, so therefore this post.
Phone is a galaxy S2 9100.
Headset tried Plantronics Voyager Pro and Discovery 975.
Outgoing calls work fine, exept when screen turns black, then after about 10-15 sec, sound in bluetooth dies. Can be reactivated when pressing home button, which brings the screen back.
Incoming calls (around 50% times), I can hear beeping in the headset, I can pick up the call (using headset or soft key), and can hear the caller speak. But the caller can't hear me. If I switch to speaker, still the same. But found out that if I press home button, which exits to home screen, then return back to phone app, the sound in bluetooth headset appears.
Another annoying thing is that when I'm at home, wifi is on and connected, sound is fine with no distortions or bluetooth fallouts. As soon as I leave home = no home wifi connection, every maybe 30 sec, I hear choppy sound in my bluetooth headset (the caller hears me just fine). I can make it go away by disabling wifi while in-call.
Have of course tried several different mods in service menu, although it helped a bit on the sound volume and echo, the bluetooth problems are the same.
Details:
Tried different phone.apk mods all the same
Tried different roms, all seem to behave the same
android: 2.3.6

Tried different roms, phone.apk's, resetting dalvik cache, system cache and still no luck.
Today I did a "full wipe", installed CheckROM RevoHD v6 and the problem seems to have disappeared. Made 5 incoming calls and bluetooth seems to be working as it should. Maybe it was just a question of wiping the /data partition...

MW600 connection problems

Hi,
A couple of weeks ago, MW600 was working as expected. But at the moment, I've got connection problems. Is anyone experiencing anything similar, or do you have any tips?
I have tried restarting both the phone and the MW. The radio function works perfectly. I have tried renaming my phone.
Here's what I'm doing:
* Turn on MW
* Turn on bluetooth on phone
* Search for units -> pair the two units using code 0000 (starting from scratch, just in case)
* Phone states that MW is connected to phone and media sound
* If mediascape is playing, I hear ~1 second of media sound
* After 1-3 seconds, MW makes a sound (5 descending tones) -> the phone briefly states that MW is connected to media sound only -> the phone goes back to stating that the two units are paired (no connection)
What do you think?
Mine doesn't do that, so it's quite odd.. Do a full reset of the MW600 (manual here: turn off, press and hold down power until pairing indication appears, press power and call buttons simultaneously until headset turns off), delete it form the phone and try again. There's no reason for it to do that.
I found the battery life to be a bit short....10 minutes of streaming music and it shut off, all this after overnight charging.....I have repeat this 'issue' Friday night, Saturday and Sunday only to have MW600 dead at the office now
My runs 12-15 hours! Without any Problems.
Same, I can use mine for at least 4 days (about one and a half hours a day) before it needs recharging - are you using the right charger?

You press the buttons on the MW600 itself, not on the phone. Read the manual that I linked to, it's all in there.
hmm anyone else have problem with the ringtone playing thru the mw600? when the phone rings. i can hear it ring on the bt headset. but it's like play a bit.. then i hear a beep.. then it plays a bit more.. and beep it's like intermittent
The beep means, that the headset is changing from the mediamode to the telephonemode.
Update... The problem above came back. If seems related to using bluetooth and wifi simultaneously. Whenever I'm using BT and enable wifi, BT gets a lot of problems and usually shuts down. Does this happen to anyone else?
Also, in the past I could use the buttons on the headset to change songs etc. That doesn't work anymore, even after resetting the headset etc. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Update... Problem keeps coming back. My supplier suggested that BT and wifi might interfere. I'd be very surprised if a "smartphone" cannot play music over bluetooth and surf using wifi at the same time. My supplier promised to check it out and get back to me... That was ~2 weeks ago.
Is ANYONE else experiencing the same problem? Can you listen to music over BT, then enable wifi, connect to a network, and keep listening to music over BT?

I have wifi on 24h/day and most of the time i don't have any problems but sometime they get disconnected and i have to turn off/on BT and everything runs fine after.
I will have to try without wifi
Bluetooth and Wireless LAN (WiFi) both uses the same frequency space (~2.5 GHz)
Most of the times Bluetooth should be smart enough to adjust the frequency to co-exist with WiFi devices.
If your area are crowded with other Bluetooth devices and WiFi access-points, the Bluetooth set might having trouble settle on one quiet frequency, and might just sit there trying to switch frequency all the time, never finding a good frequency to settle on.
To help those poor Bluetooth devices along the way, try to change the WiFi access-points channels to create a free channel where the Bluetooth devices can settle on.
Also check if your WiFi access-points have a "Co-exist with Bluetooth" option, and enable it. It will however reduce the frequency-width and therefore the bandwidth slightly on the WiFi, but Bluetooth devices should work with less interruptions.
Connection problem with s60
Hello!
I have an MW600 as well - using with an s60 symbian nokia (6650 fold).
It works corectly when using in bt mode and listening music from the phone, but it alwways lost connection when turm the handsfree to radio. When listening radio, zthere is no connection, no way to get the calls or answer.
Do somebady have the same problem or somebody know how to solve it?
I did reset on mw600 and paired again, but i have the same problem.
á
i haven't had any problems with my MW. i always stream music from my pc via wifi to my X10, then to my MW via BT, witch is connected to a Reciver for party.
have you tryed restarting your MW after pairing.
My problem with this headset is that it doesn't:
1) caller name not displayed on incoming calls
2) Music/Mp3 tags not displayed on lcd (using Poweramp)
3) why does the phones itself rings not the headset just some beeps. Embarrassing when phone rings and then answer on headset.
Resetted but not solved any problems.
Wildfire running Wildpuzzle 0.8 with kernel 4.1 overclocked
Ok I m using mw600 stereo bluetooth headset with CM 6.1.3 V4.4 rom for 2 days now. The pairing is easy but the issues that I am facing are;
* phone has crashed/rebooted couple of times while pairing/ unpairing.
* besides first fact, it pairs without any problems and very easily.
* I have used it with mixzing and doubletwist media players. In both cases the music lags and sometimes the lag/pause is about 2-3 seconds long.
* incoming call shows phone number only, no contact name.
* voice dialing works.
* when I m listening to music or not listening to music on incoming call the headset converts to phone mode fine but after the call is finished, the headset doesnt reverts back to media mode that is, the music doesn't plays again and I tried connecting and disconnecting again but only way to make it work again is restart the headset.
* battery is so far ok for the headset. Infact I runned out of my phone battery while I was trapped in underground and listening to music.lol
* even the headset is connected, if I play youtube video, the sound comes from the phone speaker. In order for it to come from headset I have to play some music from using my headset controls and then play the video and then pause the track. This also happens with music app aswell sometimes. Like the headset is connected and if I play the song using my phone, it will play through phone speaker and I have to pause it and play it using my headset controls in order to listen through my headset.
So far its oki but its annoying the laggy music thing. It only occours in music playback, I spoke to my mate on phone for couple of hours using this headset and both ends could listen loud and clear.
i also paired it with my inspiron duo tablet and its working flawlessly....so anyone have any work around of the above mentioned problems? anyone facing the same problems? is it because i am using custom ROM? i am ok with the headset not showing song tags and stuff but music being laggy is not acceptable...because thats what i bought it for!
Any help would be much appreciated?
thanks

[Q] Bluetooth Dropping

Hello
MB5 with JKAY latest mods although my problem is with ELLC my last rom too
When in a call with BT headset on (and I've had the same issue with 4 different headsets) I can be chatting away and lose sound to me ear, except an echo of my own voice. the other audio is coming from the phone earpiece (not the speaker) . the headset light is still lit. and the headset is still connected. If I press the green headset button (disconnect it) and turn it on again then the call is back in my lug again.....until next time.
I've tried various ROMs, Kernels and Modems and it all seems to have stemmed from installing the 4.2.1 Leaked ROM
Does the phone have any separate software that controls the Bluetooth? is it part of the Modem?
Driving me potty...any ideas? Modem/Radio?
Assistance please would be lovely
Thanks
And now It's the speaker too!

[Q] Bluetooth connection

Hello,
I'm new to this site so apologies if I'm in the wrong place or this has been raised before but I've googled with no joy..
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 i9300 uk unlocked.
For the last month or so m having problems with Bluetooth devices and loudspeaker (seems to be connected)
I can connect to bluetooth devices fine, beats wireless and vw car bluetooth.
It connects automatically and I can talk and hear fine, after a while the sounds drops and it goes echo like, I can't hear the other person at all but on the phone the green button Nader headset is still lit up and the connection is still made. I have to press the headset button to in light it/disconnect it and then re press to connect / light the button back up. I then can hear the person again but it does this continuously throughout the call. Listening to music via Bluetooth is fine and this problem doesnt arise.
When using loudspeaker it's the same, will go to phone (button lit) and I have to press it again twice to disconnect and reconnect.
Can't find out why this happens. I've done a factory reset and it allowed me a few days of it working fine but then goes back to normal.
Anyone else having this problem? I've read a lot about it disconnecting and having to repair but mine seems to stay connected but just drop the sound?
Cheers

I am having the same issues... did you find the solution?
Same issues too.. i thought it was my ford bluetooth (POS!)

Video calls volume problem

Hello guys.
I was wondering if you can help me with a problem I have with my S3.
When I am in a video call (without earphones - speakers working) the first five to ten minutes are fine. I can hear the other contact well without problems. But in the period from 5th minute to 10th sound (from speakers) its like I have slowed down the volume one click before the full volume down. But the volume bar is full. When earphones are connected are working full without problem. This problem is on tango and skype as well.
(my m/b was changed due to the familiar freeze problem)
no single answer?????
pls help
Factory reset.

Regular call with speakers on does the same
I was wrong. It does the same thing in regular call as well when I have the speakers on. The solution is the same?

Question Dialler issues after Android 13 Upgrade

Hey all, I'm wondering if anyone else has had issues with calls after upgrading to Android 13.
I am having 2 problems with calls
1) When I pick up calls on Bluetooth or loudspeaker, often people can't hear me until I switch to holding the phone to my ear, I can then switch back to Bluetooth or loudspeaker, and it works.
2) when I put a call on mute it automatically unmutes after about 20 seconds even though it still shows the mute button as turned on.
These issues happen on multiple different diallers, so they are clearly a phone problem and not to do with a specific dialler app.
Same here. Let's wait for an update. Temporaly I using a wired headset.
