I just pulled my Moto E LTE out of the box about 2 hours ago. Everything is great so far except for one problem. I can pair to my Bose bluetooth speaker fine, but no audio is being pushed to the speaker upon playback. I have the same problem in multiple apps. Is this a known issue by chance?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Edit: Please ignore this post. Of course, as soon as I submitted this, I fixed it. I figured out how to hard reset my speaker and now it works fine.

Hi all,
Since I got my S3, I've been connecting it to my car's built-in bluetooth headset for music and for phone calls, and it's been working flawlessly.
Anyway, about 2 weeks ago it started making weird noise when I'm trying to call someone. At first I thought it's a connection issue, I hang up and call again, and it works fine. But at the moment, it happens all of a sudden during phone calls.
The issue is that the phone itself is still working earpiece and mic even while the bluetooth headset is connected and the bluetooth headset green button is ON. Which creates an audio loop and makes all the static and noise.
I've read that people started getting this after the JB update, with me it happened so slowly, I'm not rooted to try ICS back again. However, I tried to diagnose by connecting my old XPERIA arc to the car and my GS3 to another bluetooth headset. Same problem with the other headset, while the arc and the car work perfectly together.
I also tried to disable NFC and even removed the NFC sticker from the car completely....still the same problem.
Any idea how to fix this, or even bring it up to samsung to try to fix in the next update?

I had a similar issue when connected to my friends bose. Ended up with noise coming through, it might just be bluetooth, can be a bit funny at times.
Car bluetooth audio feedback
Helo,
I'm trying to revive this thread... I have also problems with audio feedback from my original embedded bluetooth car kit.
have a Toyota Avensis and I get a terrible feedback noise when making out calls from my phone.
I tried playing with many settings, like noise reduction etc', but none helped.
All this started since I updated to Android 4.1.X (from 4.0.4). At 4.0.4 there is no problems at all.
I see that it takes a while to the phone to actually dial. From the time that I push the call button to the actual dialing, the microphone is active and is directly feeding the audio system, which results in this annoying audio feedback.
In my mind, the microphone should be muted till the call is made... but it is on. When I wear a BT earpiece, there is no problem since there is no audio feedback path from the mic to the earpiece. but when hooked with the CAR kit there is a direct audio path between the mic and loudspeaker.
I'm sure I'm not the only one suffering from this problem. please post here if you suffered such problems.
Please post if you managed to solve the problem.
I am currently running with the latest 4.1.2 update - same frustrating problem.
no solution for feedback noise....anywhere
It seems to be a mystery. I've checked a number of forum posts with this problem and absolutely no solution. I also suddenly began experiencing this problem in my car's hands free blutooth system. Sometimes it happens, other times not. I usually switch the phone to headset then back again to make it stop. But it's becoming more frequent and the headset switch seems to be lasting for a short perios before it starts again. I've seen posts mentioning grounding issues and others that say it's normal because of the car speakers (like putting a microphone close to a speaker). This is NOT normal. I have never experienced this with a hands free system and a phone. Also, the fact that I have been using this for some months with no problem. I did however notice that when I am not using the hands free and I put my s3 on speakerphone, it sometimes switches back to headset for no reason at all. If anyone has found a solution please post it because right now in the interverse...there is none. Will do the same if I don't crush this s3 for being so annoying while in the car first.

I've been going nuts with a similar problem and it started happening after the 4.1.2 update as well. When I make a call I sometimes get an ear shattering blast of static for about 1 or 2 seconds just before the call connects. My wife has the same problem and she uses her phone all the time and she's going deaf. We both have Moto's Razr Maxx. Verizon gave he a new phone, it worked phone for about 2 weeks and now it's having problems again. This really sucks and I think we need to buy new phones. If anyone has a solution I would sure like to hear it.
So I bought a pair of Motorola S10-HD Bluetooth headphones tonight. First paired them to my Acer A500 running 4.1 and they worked fine. Now I just tried to connect them to my Nexus 10 on 4.2.1 and the audio stutters like crazy and the Android UI slows to a crawl anytime it tries to play a sound. Any known issues here or anything I can try to get these things working? I have a Bluetooth adapter in my truck that works perfectly with my N10.

I have a similar issue with my jbl flip bluetooth speaker. It crackles all the time and just doesn't seem to have the same quality as my s3. Also on a side note when I use bluetooth and wifi they can drop out.I hope an update can fix these bluetooth issues.

There are well known issues with Bluetooth in 4.2 (which your S3 is probably not running) since they changed the stack. Here's hoping that they do fix it soon.
So I just swapped the motos for a set of lg tone's and the same issue is there. Very frustrating that something as simple as Bluetooth audio is broken. Strange since it seems to work fine with Bluetooth in my truck.
My Moto S11 Flex HD seems fine...
Saw another post with similar issues and they said a reboot fixed their problem. Gave it a try and it seems to have fixed the problem, for now at least.

Glad that the reboot helped. My LG Tones have been working fine as long as I stay within 50ft.
Hopefully someone can help me here -- I haven't been able to find an answer to my problem even with several google and forum searches.
A few days ago, my AT&T version of the Samsung Galaxy S3 stopped working with wired headsets, but headphones still work. When I plug in a pair of headphones (2 stripes on the miniplug), I get balanced, stereo sound.
However, when I plug in a headset with mic (3 bands on the plug), I get no sound even though the phone acts like it is playing sound. I've tried different audio apps, headphones, and headsets, and the problem stays constant. Each headphone / headset also works on other audio sources.
I am AT&T's version of 4.1.1, kernel version 3.0.31-274808, and do not think any updates have been downloaded recently.
Any ideas what could be causing this issue? I used to have a headset plugged in for most of the day, and miss the remote and phone mic features a lot.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
TLDR: Wired headphones work on GSIII, but wired headsets give no sound. Help!

Did you try using the headset with another phone?

So I've had this phone now for about a year and everything has been fine. I rooted and installed Omnirom 4.4 about a month after getting it and then switched to SlimKat. I'm on 4.4.2 right now and I've just recently encountered a problem with the music audio. It seems to be distorting the vocals and the bass, but the piano/backing instruments seem fine. If I go into settings and turn it to mono it works fine in the right ear. This is strange because my Turtle Beach PX22 headset comes off its inline amp and can be used on its own 3.5mm AUX input/output. It doesnt work like that however. It works with the inline amp plugged in with a computer USB powering it, but not on its own. Normal headphones do not work properly either, they all suffer the same problem as I explained. Speakers, however, work fine. Anything with a large output (such as AUX in car stereo etc) works fine. Full stereo sound, no distortion on anything. But headphones are a big no-no. Any ideas? I recently installed Boeffla for 4.4 and that might have something to do with it. I have reflashed SlimKat and its update recently. I've also reflashed Boeffla. Any ideas anyone?

I have the exact same problem like you. Tried tons of different roms and kernels and nothing works
Hi!
I'm having some strange issues reggarding the use of headphones.
Recently I bough a pair of Razer Hammerhead pro v2 headphones from a retailer. They are brand new, and work just fine in other cellphones (Motorola or LG) and even my computer.
But, as it turns out, they do not work properly on my phone.
Let me elaborarte: I already have a pair of Philips headphones with a dedicated play/stop music button and microphone, and they work just fine with the cellphone. But, whenever I plug my new headphones on the phone, the "headphones with mic" icon shows once on my notification screen and then just banishes, leaving me with an icon that looks like a pair of "regular headphones", not recognizing the mic. or buttons.
I've read some people online experiencing the same issue as me. And, even though you can ACTUALLY hear a conversation or music with the headphones, the mic. and buttons just don't work. Is almost as if they were non existent to the phone.
I've already tried different apps that allow you to mock you cellphone to bypass this issue, but they don't work.
Any suggestions?

AGREE. Also, if you can check that if you keep pressing the handsfree jack down, the mic works???

Yeaj, I tried that already but it doesnt work. And it wont work because I think that this is a MIUI related problem.
Any suggestions?
My mic works if I keep the handsfree jack at a certain position or keep pressing it. May be it's a hardware problem or handsfree problem. Who knows!!!
Last reply.
My issue is SOLVED.
Turns out there was dust settled down in the jack.
SOLUTION: Take an ear bud, dip it in petrol and clean the headphone jack with it.
Thanks for your thread as it helped me in getting to the root cause of the problem :good:

I've already tried that one, and had no ressult. I cleaned it as soon as I got the problem, but it keeps happening
So for me, the problem is still ongoing
As I stated before, I can hear my headphones, but both mic. And buttons don't work.
Try using a different recording app and or music player, see if that helps.
