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.

Hi,
Recent owner of Galaxy S3 and I'm having the first big problem. After successfull pairing my BH 803 Nokia bluetooth headset i could instantly hear myself even without dialing any number. When I have tried to make a call i could only hear myself, the other party did hear the phone ringing but not my voice. Tried with another model of bleutooth headset, same result. Successfull pairing and contacts sync with my MKi9100 Parrot carkit too, but when i have tried to call somebody with the usual voice dial nothing happened. After looking at the S3 screen i saw this action started S Voice. Any suggestion ? Thanks in advance !
Later edit: After disabling S Voice, working flawlessly with the Parrot carkit voice dial command. Restartind, deleting and pairing again with both Nokia BH 803 and BH 208 headset models did not solve the problem of hearing myself.
Hello,
I have a problems with my DELL BH200 blouetooth headset. I can pair the headphones and see profiles. Both are checked on, but when incoming call arrives I have my call in phone, not in the headset.
I have had similar problems with my earlier's phones [same] also, but I think that headset is specific. I would like to ask users who uses multimedia headsets with a2dp and voice calls did you having similar problems?
Hi, I have a problem with my Mate 10 Pro. Every time I use my car's Bluetooth, I can't hear voice on incoming calls unless I switch to the phone speaker and then again to the Bluetooth system. The same goes for music as sometimes it switches randomly to the phone speaker and then I have to disconnect a2dp in my car and connect again. This is really annoying and frustrating. Any ideas how to solve this? Never had any Bluetooth problems with my previous phones.
Hello everyone. Has a Plantronics Voyager Legend BT-headset and Android 8 on SGS7.
Sometimes (1-2 times in a week) I experienced a problem with BT audio-sound: audio, that might route to BT-headset, comes to a phone speaker. After phone restart this problem gone for 3-4 days, then it repeats again. There is no reasons for this issue, just in one moment after pairing BT-headset audio-sound (like music or notifications readers) goes to a speaker (maybe before pairing, I don't know, in some moment that I can't catch).
BUT phone GSM voice call sound doesn't route to a speaker, only BT Audio does.
Who can explain, what is going on with this? I had the same issue on Android 6.0.1 and believed that after Android Oreo upgrade I get rid of this, but I was wrong, it pursues me.
Thanks to all help.
