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,
I have a problem. I have the volume for the ringtone on the cel set loud. All the way up.
But when I receive a call, it comes normal, the ringtone sounds out loud. The problem is the next call.
For some reason, the ringtone changes itself to the lowest volume. So the next call I can barely hear it.
Is there any reason why this happens or a way to fix it?
By the way, I receive the calls in a bluetooth headset.
Thank you!
I couldn't find anything for this phone in the search my phone makes an annoying sound everytime you make a call a tone plays in the speaker when it connects any ideas on how to turn this off? I just use the phone no headset etc

Phone (open the phone as if you are making a call) then settings
So whenever I call someone I cant hear any dial tone or call tone. It won't ring at all. Its just silent then I hear the person I'm calling pick up. I've only had this phone for 2 weeks and it's super annoying. Help!
Why they remove this feature and I cant lower ring tone by picking the phone and answer the call by putting the phone to my ear?
