Headset Issues on Calls - HTC EVO 3D

Hi .. I have an CDMA Evo 3D with the mic built inside broken/disfunctional. I have to use a headsets to talk on my phone till I get it fix.
Problem is I have BEATs earbud w/o mic that I use with sense rom but it works for talking. When I flash over to JB rom or Sense 4.0/4.1 . When making calls the person won't hear me even with the headsets on..
I'm aware that the headsets doesn't have a Mic but it worked on Sense roms , wondering why would it stop working on JB & and other Roms ?.

How in the world do headphones without a microphone work as a microphone?!?
Some other witchcraft is going on here. Maybe the headphones being plugged in causes the broken microphone to work?

This certainly is strange. How can earphones w/o mic enable you to use a mic that is busted
All beats earphones have built in mic AFAIK. In that case its probably because the sense roms have beats support and the others dont

Makes sense Eminem. So maybe the headphones have a hidden built in microphone that the op didn't see. That does seem to be the only plausible explanation. Or Halloween witchcraft.

i just checked beatsbydre site and all 4 earphones have built-in mic

I see thanks for finding that out for me . But the question is why wouldn't it work on ASOP roms or JB roms? It does work for me on
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1640134 which does support beats audio...So I'm guessing what was stated is true, It works for me because the Rom has beats supported, and the others don't now that I think of it.

You could try to install something like Beats Installer from the store or Awesome Beats from this site. They bring Beats to AOSP ROMs (or something like Beats).

Thanks so much for the advice!! I downloaded the installer on Play Store and now it works well with MIUI JB ROM

Glad it worked! Also thanks for posting that it worked so someone who searches can try your solution if they have a similar problem.

[Q] Question for Rooted users with Custom Roms

I have one major issue with the thunderbolt and it is 100% a software issue. I believe ASOP roms or desensed roms may fix the issue and would like someone to verify before I purchase.
The issue is as follows:
* Plug in Normal headphones or aux cable without a inline mic and attempt to make a phone call or receive one....the other side cannot hear you till you either put them on speakerphone or unplug your headset/aux cable.
* All other Mic required application will still work Google V search, Skype, etc, just the built in dialer doesn't.
What I'm interested in:
* People with custom roms/kernels testing above and letting me know if the Mic isn't getting muted for them when they "Plug in Normal headphones or aux cable without a inline mic and attempt to make a phone call or receive one"
* What Rom/kernels you are using.
/bump ten char
I've experienced the same thing on various roms, not sure of a fix. Happens on das BAMF, tesla, and the pre-alpha CM7
I bought my TB from my buddy specifically because that was a #1 requirement for him. Bluetooth stereo with hands free and A2DP for me
i've heard of this issue on non-sense roms, but didn't have the stock rom on the phone long enough to test this...
It's due to the noise cancellation stuff in the device...

Any way around it?
I've been using the Shure MPA-3C adapter for several phones now. Worked great with my TP2 and DX. You can use any headphones you like and since it provides the mic there is no hacking required.

I heard that HTC is aware of the issue and is working on a fix. (i think i read it in a forum on android central). Would be nice to be able to use the regular mic with headphones.

[Q] What Roms support A2DP?

I'm trying to find ICS or JB Roms that have A2DP support. Until today I've been running Unnamed 2.2.1 which works great with my car's stereo and I'm able to stream pretty much whatever I want.
But wanting to update my phone to the latest android versions I started flashing some Roms and I haven't found one that would stream music via Bluetooth to my car's stereo.
Roms I've tried so far with no luck are:
CM9 Stable
AOKP JB (10.5.2012)
Slim Bean
SuperNexus Build 2 & 3
Aberration 1.3
Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.
I've been able to use A2DP to my car stereo on both cm9 and cm10. Make sure you delete the pairing on your stereo before connecting again after you flash a new ROM. That may be your problem.

Thanks for the response. I deleted all the saved paired devices from my car and I tried again with both CM9 stable and CM10 latest nightly and the stereo receives the song's info but it when I press play it the phone gets stuck playing on 0:01 of the song and nothing happens after that.
A2DP seems to be broken in a lot of kernels from reading around the dev forum. Try a different one.
Edit: Kernel, not rom.

Thanks for the response. I installed CM9 stable with the next kernels:
Siyah-v4.1.6-mswap
N.E.A.K-2.0.6x-AOSP
fluxi-xx-I777-7-29-2012
And still no luck getting a2dp working. I'm starting to think that it might be my car's stereo, I have clarion head units on all 3 of my vehicles and they all use "Parrot bluetooth module" whatever that means.
What I still find weird is that the Rom I'm running right now works great, so I guess I'll be running GB while I figure out how to get this working with a ICS or JB Rom.
I too am having the same problem with the A2DP support. I just flashed my 1st ROM on my GS3 and I'm not getting any audio through my car stereo speakers. Are most of the JB ROMS lacking this support? By looking at most of the posts, A2DP support seems to be broken. Almost makes we want to revert back to stock ICS :crying:
ROM currently running: Codename Android 3.6.6

Or you could look at it this way: He's providing another data point that says that a different JB rom on a different device has the same problem. That more than likely points to a problem in JB with A2DP that is not just on the i777...

No, I look at it like it's about a different phone that has nothing to do with ours. And needs to be posted in the proper section.

[Q] Viper Rom Bluetooth snap crackle pop

Couldnt find any fix in the related threads. I have an EVO LTE running Viper Rom. running flawless except annoying cracle/pop from music playback on a bluetooth speaker. talking on a bluetooth headset is fine. HTC suggested some things but nothing worked. My sons bone stock EVO LTE works fine on the same devices. Rom is so awesome I can live with this issue if there is no fix. I can use a cord. Thnak you for any replies.

Are you using a separate kernel?

Just an update on my b/t situation. it is 100% crystal clear....Used kernal tuner turn up the minimum frequency from the minimum 384 to around 500 or more. Just set a profile for when i plan on using b/t that will use the higher frequencies. Not sure why this fixes it, but love it now.
Thanks

Bluetooth transmit from vehicle = snap, crackle, pop
HTC One (m7) loaded with ViperOne 5.8.0 Pro. Via bluetooth, I can place calls but the caller can't hear me, though I can hear them. Music plays nicely, but not being able to transmit is a problem. Any solutions? I'm new to this whole deal, so I've given all I know to provide.
Thanks!

This is the EVO LTE forums, so you might want to visit the M7 forums. Also, make sure the microphone in your bluetooth device is working properly. Are you using the bluetooth through a car, or an actual headset/earpiece?

Thanks for the forum tip. I am quite shaky on the use of the correct forum. Anyway the problem was solved by flashing a different kernel. 3.4.10-EliteLunar when combined with ViperOne 5.8.0 on my HTC ONE works fine now. Both myself an another person were NOT able to talk though the vehicle system, hands free. Now we can. Passing along that information even though it is not EVO LTE specific...maybe it might help someone.

Bluetooth media sound

Frankly it's poor, call is fine, but the media I get distortion and crackling, I've heard others talk about it, but no one had mentioned a fix. Is anyone aware of a resolution, it's quite aggravating. There was a file I could edit on my captivate back in the day that upped the transmission rate that took care of it. Is there something similar that could be done here?

That's Interesting. I don't have any problems with the bluetooth audio streaming quality. Sure, nothing beats an aux cable quality wise, but it's always sounded pretty good to my ears. I consider myself a little bit of an audiophile too.
I notice it mostly in my car, but I also bought backbeat go ear buds today, and it really just didn't sound right, it's not in your face like holy cow why does his voice sound like that, it's more like crackling in the highs, I don't get it through aux though, I would have thought it was my phone, but I had seen it mentioned a couple other places

alpine type-r interiors and sub, alpine bt head unit, everything is powered by alpine v-power amps, and I gotta say, I hear the distortion pretty clearly over bt. My old inspsire 4G running cm7 sounded AMAZING over bt. I hope someone finds away to bump up the clarity some. devs? Lol
So I think it's safe to say, you like alpine ha ha, but seriously though, thanks for the +1, didn't want people to think I was just crazy or something.

You guys have tried this fix as stated in the General HOX+ Q&A?
Or it is a different issue?
IIRC that was the first mod I flashed for this phone, and while it helped 10 fold with the call quality, it did little to nothing for media and other audio.
i got the answer you're looking for...
i noticed this problem the first time i used my hox+ with my car stereo. same problem...bt calls are ok, but if you are listen to music, you hear ugly distortion in the highs...the sound isn't clear and the stereo image is bad.
after doing some research i found out that it has to do with the bluetooth bitpool settings. but what can you do against it: maxween did a bluetooth fix for me, which worked perfectly. it is implemented in the newest builds of his AOKP roms, and in the newest versions of Liors cm 10.1 roms.
so you can use this fix in every aosp rom.
unfortunently, there isn't a fix for stock-, and sense rom's jet. i've made a demand to mike1986 if he can implent it in his android revolution hd 6.5 rom, but it's not done atm.
so if you want to listen to some fine bt music quality (it sounds awesome in my stereo now btw.), you have to install the actual aokp or cm 10.1 rom...otherwise you have to wait for a sense fix.
ps: we've connected the brandnew htc on from my friend in my car stereo. same issue! looks like htc is doing this intentionally to sell more of the aptx care stereo adapters and beats accessoiries with the aptx codec...
I also have this problem. It annoys the hell out of me because I can ALWAYS hear it. Maybe i'm too sensitive. I don't know. Either way, I'm going to see if the Elegancia ROM can get the fix implemented.
Thanks for letting us know there is a fix.
The only way i have found to lessen the distortion is turn the media volume on the phone down to at least 3/4 and use the vehicle/Home stereo receiver to control the volume increase needed. It helps a lot, but a true fix is really needed
Indeed, and check to see if your receiver or head unit has a secondary volume control for each input. My alpine for instance, allows me to tweak the volumes for each specific input (AUX, HD radio, Bluethooth, CD) from a rang of -5db to +5. IF i set it anything above 0 it sounds like crap. Hope this helps some.
if the connection's fine, you should not have to turn down the volume. the sound quality is even better when the bt output vol is on max on your phone. on the other devices, i would recommend an input of 0db, if you are going above it, you have the risk of digital distortion, and this is sounding really ugly.
i'll post a link from maxween later so if any developer of a sense custom rom could do a fix would it be awesome
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=39632#c151
here is a thread about this issue, i also found a german page from a guy which used this fix for his htc one and it worked.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1880298http://
i tried it out on my one x+ but unforunently it didn't work...so if some developer could make this "audio.a2dp.default.so" fix working on the hox+ (sense rom's) it would be awesome...
Thanks for all your research and time mr_breaks. I am hoping we can get a fix for this issue.
Using an aux audio cable is not a big deal but listening through BT is so much easier and allows me to control my music from my car controls. I like that functionality.
same here. i don't like to plug in the cable everytime and the control over my car is much confortable and safer.
btw: with the patch the bt sound is better than with cable
imo... of course it depends on the car unit, but i had very good results with my system and my hox+...

So did you fix it or not? I thought you said you tried fixing the bitrate settings but it didn't work.
If I can change the settings myself, i'd like to try it if you could guide me.
not yet. there is no way to change the bitpool manually, it has to be done in the file called "audio.a2dp.default.so".
i'm waiting for support form the developers, cause i don't have the know-how to do a fix by myself. ..."i would, if i could"

What are some good aosp roms that have working bluetooth audio?

Hello, I've been looking at some of the aosp roms that are available, but it seems like a handful of them do not have working bluetooth audio which is unfortunate as I use it all the time in my car. Having said that, would anyone know of any aosp roms that do support it, or better yet is there any known workarounds for this? Thanks!
