This is probably a dumb question, but is there a way, or will there ever be a way, for the stereo clip to be used when making a phone call? When a call comes in and you want to answer it, it is rather annoying to have to take it out of the car dock and hold the phone since it wont use the stereo clip via bluetooth during a call.
I know it won't now...don't know if some software update would make it possible. That's one of the main reasons I went with the Samsung HS3000. I've had it since Friday, and I'm liking it so far.
Not sure if I understood your question correctly, but having a Bluetooth headset and the stereo clip connected at the same time should be one solution for you.

I'd really just like to be able to use the car speakers when a call comes in and not mess with a headset. I'm just hoping some sort of software solution might be available with a non-rooted device or rooted if neccessary.
I dont think HTC had that in mind because there is another mic/speakerphone accessory that they are pushing to combine with the stereo clip to give you the complete hands-free solution.

So my headphone jack on my wizard is busted, and I really need to listen to some tunes, and I don't have a warranty, and do not want to take it to a repair.
So my last option is stereo bluetooth
-I have read on many websites that you can't use a stereo bluetooth headset on your T-mobile MDA which I have. Is this true? I have the latest ROM from them (I'm too chicken to switch around my ROMS). If I won't be able to currently, how can I?
-Does using bluetooth a lot cut down your battery? If so, by how much?
-What is the best stereo blue tooth headset to use?
I'm looking for comfotableness (sp?), audio quality, and compactness (I don't want a huge bulky one)
where can I get one cheap?
-I've been poking around on other forums, and they told me to go here for the update that will let me stereo bluetooth my phone

Will it work?
Thanks for your help!
Blutooth with T-mobile MDA
I have been using my bluetooth stereo head set from logitech for a while,
It just worked great good sound quality.
Recently I upgraded from WM5 to WM6 and it works with the new OS as well sounds even better.
hey,
im also in the market. but for my 8525. I also want a microphone for phone calls (do they all have this?), or fail that, both volume controls and playback control. color me subscribed
u can use stereo bluetooth w/o flashing a new ROM
idk what that link will do for you, this prog is the easiest way to get stereo bluetooth
@ryske..You can use Jabra bt620s or plantronics 590a for ur needs...I personally use 590a...
shantzg001 .. great thanks for the info. I will research all three once i get this damned thing. Also dont forget to search fatwallet and antirebate for these things!!
if u have tmobile you can use their update and be able to use bluetooth stereo but if other i would flash with a new rom or even with the tmobile one but it will come with tmobile branding.
Okay, this one confuses me, just came from a Motorola Droid X and when I had the phone docked in my car with it connected to my stereo via 1/8" (headphones) jack it would feed the sound from any incoming calls through my car speakers. I really liked that as it made for an easy hands free system that I didn't have to pay any extra for.
I have noticed with the Rezound however that when I answer a call it uses the phone's speaker just as it would if I had the phone on speakerphone. This is annoying because the built in speaker is not that loud when you factor in the road noise. I find myself leaning forward to be able to hear the phone and not focusing on the road as much.
Is there any way to make the phone feed the audio through the headphone jack to the car speakers?
It seems like it would just assume that if you had a headset/speakers hooked up that you would like the audio to go through them, or there would be a setting somewhere but I haven't been able to find one.
The "headset" icon is displayed on the notification bar when I plug in the audio cable so that leads me to assume that the phone knows it has a "headset" connected even though there isn't a microphone.
It just worked on my previous two phones (Droid X, BB Curve), can anyone else tell me how to change this behavior? Or at the least test it for yourselves and see if you get the same results?
Thanks!
The only way I have found is to exit Car Mode.
Seems counter intuitive, maybe it will get fixed in a future update. Thanks for the reply, I will try it out.
Anyone know of a good set of bluetooth stereo earbuds? I don't want headphones and I'd like something that can be used for phone calls as well.
I'm not exactly hard of hearing, but I do hear much better with earbuds in both ears than with just one.
Any suggestions?
I use the Jabra Clipper. It charges with the same cable that comes with the Note and it also allows you to use any type of miniplug headphone, as it's a powered BT receiver. It has a mic built in, too.

I use these both of these, mainly at the gym, I like them a lot...
http://www.plantronics.com/us/product/backbeat-903-plus - I like these the best
http://store.sony.com/webapp/wcs/st...10551&langId=-1&productId=8198552921666198163
I bought these, Samsung HS3000, a while back for my Captivate and in anticipation of the Note.
I like them because I can pop in my Sony studio cans or IEMs. Almost went with the Jabra Clipper mentioned above. With either of set you can jack them into a stereo Auxiliary and use your phone as a wireless remote.
I guess I'm most interested in Voice Quality. I want two earbuds in my ear. I want to easily hear someone when I am talking to them. I don't want the person on the other end of the call to know that I'm using bluetooth.
What are your voice call experiences with these?
Here's my situation: In my car, I often have my OG connected to my stereo with an A2DP bluetooth audio receiver (without a mic). This works well for listening to music, or getting directions from the nav. However, if I answer a call while connected to it, I can hear the audio through my car speakers, but the other person can't hear me. I understand that the OG's internal mic is disabled at this point, as it is expecting a bluetooth mic to be connected. The work-around I have found is to disable bluetooth for phone calls. This plays the call audio through the phone speaker, and utilizes the internal mic like normal speakerphone.
What I would like is a mix of the two. I want the call audio to play through the car speakers, but enable the OG's internal mic so I can talk through that. Does anyone know of an app or setting I'm missing that might accomplish this?
Thanks.
No, but that sounds like it would be really easy to code if you wanted to learn some java.
(Disclosure: I don't know java)
I was hoping to use this in the next few days. I don't think I can learn java that quickly. But I agree, it seems like it should be pretty easy to accomplish. Software turns the mic off, it should be able to turn it back on.

Hi Digil,
Did you find a way of doing this? I have a Galaxy Note 2 with the same setup in my car and I was wondering if you found a solution...
Thanks

Hey Ishkatar, nope I didn't find a solution yet, but I haven't spent too much time looking. I've been busy with work and traveling to see family on this holiday weekend. I'll definitely post here if I find anything.

The SoundAbout app seems like it will work when the phone is connected to a headset (audio out through headset, input via phone mic). But I can't find anything that will accomplish that when outputting audio through BT.

Yes, I tried it and it did not work with BT... After much research and testing multiple BT Manager apps I decided to return the BT adaptor and I'll think about buying a full BT hands-free connector...

Yeah, I think I might be forced to go with that Belkin adapter shown in the link above, which Is too bad because I was hoping not to spend anymore money, haha.
phone mic instead of bluetooth device
I had the same problem. I got fed up and decided to move the bluetooth mic to a more convenient location in my car, since I could not disable it. Before I re-positioned the un-soldered mic to a new location, I decided to make sure my soldering did not inadvertently damage any of the device. To my delight, without the mic being physically present, it defaulted to my phone mic. So, for me at least my problem was solved by removing the mic in question. I have no idea if it will work on other bluetooth devices.
any progress?
Just for info, after much research I don't think this is possible as Android does not allow routing of call audio to A2DP at all, probably due to security reasons?
I just plug a lead to the headphone jack and patch into the auxiliary input of my stereo. I also had one of those USB dongal Bluetooth receivers that worked exactly that way but it stopped working and other ones don't work, the one that did work was able to connect to phone audio as well as media audio. So it seems that if the mic can be disabled form the other end the Android mic will kick in. Android OS sucks you cannot do anything with the hardware. PC's piss over Google.
They probably don't do it because of latency error affecting feedback canceling. And what has external hardware got to do with security. Google just uses it as an excuse to getaway with marketing an inferior OS.
I wonder if I can replicate this. I need to kill the awful mic in my car Bluetooth so I can use phone mic
Has anyone tested this with non-native Calls like Skype, Facebook Calling, Zoom.US, what's app etc.?
it's totally unacceptable that I can use A2DP stereo audio + Computer Built in Microphone, but I can't do this with android!
Companies are taking off the headphone jack but they haven't figured out HD Bluetooth microphones yet!
Are any updates on this thread? maybe some apps could rout mic?

You can check this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nordskog.LesserAudioSwitch&hl=en, havent checked for myself but it worked for my friend
Could someone please confirm whether the tablet can or cannot be used as a hold-it-to-the-ear phone? Online reviews and specs seem to differ on this. Does it actually have a microphone and an ear-volume speaker in the correct places to be used as a phone held against the ear, or does it only have telephony via either loudspeaker or headset? I want to purchase one, but this is a dealbreaker for me. Many thanks.

It has the gsm voice radio but not the earpiece. You can use bluetooth or speaker but its just not meant to hold to your face. Although, I gotta say, I have a samsung 8 inch tablet with phone capabilities and I never used the earpiece. When I was in public it was too embarrasing to do that and at home I would use speaker. Of course most of the time I have bluetooth headphones/headset around so thats what I use. I have these 30 dollar plantronics tiny earpieces that last for 11 hours. I use for Podcasts, audiobooks, movies, music and... phone calls, always have one on me.
Many thanks for clearing that up for me. What a shame, though. I was on the verge of buying one, but I really would need to be able to use it as a regular phone (I must admit I would have no embarrassment holding it to my ear in public!). I thought I'd finally found myself an 8-inch phone, oh well.
