In my work shed, I listen to music on my phone using a portable bluetooth fm transmitter (motorola t505) and the stereo in my shed. When I get a call, I take the call but press the 'bluetooth/headset' button so I can take the call as normal on the phone, not using the bluetooth.
But, what I've found is happening is after a short time (maybe a minute) the phone reconnects to the bluetooth, everything starts happening through the transmitter and I have to press the 'bluetooth/headset' button again to go back to normal. Then, after a short time, it happens again.
I don't suppose anyone can check if they have this problem too? It's a bit annoying having to turn either the transmitter off, or bluetooth off, when there is a button right there that should have it all off.

For whatever reason, my plantronics voyager pro disconnects while i'm in the middle of a phone call. it doesn't happen all the time, just randomly. As soon as I notice that it's no longer working, i look at my phone and it still has the headset icon active. I hear the disconnect beep in my headset, and when i try to turn hands free off, it won't turn off
I end up having to hang up, and call back the person. Not very professional when doing business, i'm considering going back to my old voyager headset. Any feedback or possible fixes?

The suggestion what i give is bit irritating but wll be better than now, Never connect your bluetooth automatically, Once u disconnect and reconnect your BT just remove them from your pairing device and re-pair. Now u wont get Disconnected wth ur BT but if u connect ur BT automatically then the problem continues
Do you guys notice that when Bluetooth is on in the car GPS turn by turn voice is gone? I am not sure if it's just me or not, but in my VW Jetta, when Bluetooth is connected, GPS will not speak at all... as soon as I turn Bluetooth off, voice comes back.
I think this was done purposely so the voice isn't talking when you are having a conversation...same as when the music player pauses when a call comes in and resumes when call is done.
Having trouble with bluetooth and my sg4. The bluetooth pairs fine but defaults back to the phone speaker when I get a call. The bluetooth headset eventually connects but it takes about 30 seconds. Anyone else having this problem?

I've seen some strange behavior widen paired with the Bluetooth in my Jeep Wrangler (UConnect) and with my Jawbone Era.
In the jeep, when I dial by name, it starts dialing, makes the connection and ends the call. If I dial from the phone, the call connects and seems to stay connected. I did a few hour-plus long conference calls where the Bluetooth connection to the jeep seemed to drop and I had to re-select the headset button on the phone app.
I haven't tried dialing by name with the jawbone, but I had one long running call where I had to reconnect to the jawbone.
I thought this was fixed in JB, but I guess not.
I've got my GS4 paired with both the car and my Jawbra headset. All works fine in either scenario, but occasionally I'm on a call using my car BT and want to switch to my headset, or visa verse. Isn't there a way to just click a button/option in phone and switch the device? Anyone found an App for that (I've been searching for hours).
I'm hoping that I'm just missing something, but I've been trying to Google and search these forums to no avail.
I can't try it but what can't you just press the headset button in the midcall menu?

That sounds like a great idea, I would love it if it worked that way. But the phone get's itself "paired and connected" to the car, and it is not connected to the Jawbone. The only thing I found to change it during the call is to turn off bluetooth, which forces a pickup on the handset. I suppoose I could try to turn BT back on, and get it to connect to the Jawbone, but that's no practical while driving and trying to pay attention to a phone conversation.
A simple pop-up with "connect to Jawbone" or "connect to car" would be nice during the call.
If you just want to you your headset to take calls and your car bt for audio, try deselecting "phone" in your bt device options on the phone.
Also I think this issue is more with the Samsung phone then with Android. My Nexus 4 was able to do just this and also allow me to take calls on my bt headset while my phone was plugged into the aux jack in my car.
I don't mind my screen turning on when I'm holding the phone. But it's a problem when I'm using my bluetooth headset. I can answer/end/call/etc all from the buttons on my headset. I don't want to have to interact with my phone when I want to be hands-free.
The problem is that my phone will "wake up" when I receive a call or when the call ends. If it's in my pocket, sometimes it will start going "BEEP BEEP BEEP" as numbers are dialed or apps are changed or the mute button gets activated, etc. So when I receive a call on my headset I have to also remove it from my pocket and turn the screen off. The same thing goes when I end a call from my headset.
How can I stop my device from notifying me by turning on the screen when I have my bluetooth headset connected? Honestly, I wouldn't mind a solution which works without the headset as well. I am fine with the auditory notification of a call. I don't need the hassle of also dealing with the screen unless I want to answer a call. For example, I want to ignore a call-- so I have to both hit the volume down to silence it as well as turn the screen off.
