Hi,. Hoping someone here can help me, I've moved from an iPhone to an Android phone and when plugged into the car I have to turn the volume on the car way up to hear it. It's the same on the Bluetooth in my motorcycle helmet. I really need the Bluetooth bit for GPS.
I've tried heaps and heaps of booster apps and different music players but nothing works.
Google has led me here.
I'm a total been as far as rooting and stuff goes so I need something relatively easy.
Phone is an Optus X smart aka Alcatel pop 4 android is 6.0.1
Cheers

Hi there folks!
Hope someone can tell me ANYTHING to keep me from losing it completely...
I upgraded to an X10 mini pro from my Nokia 5530 a few weeks ago, and aside from a minor issue where the hardware keyboard appeared to be dying (It 'lost' the symbol button, acting like I had disabled the Default Input - regardless of how the default input checkbox was set. Turns out it was a hair or something inside the keyboard itself, who knew?!)
Anyway. The BIG feature the Nokia had that I REALLY liked was it's ability to play music on a bluetooth headset.
Now, the headset I use is one glommed from a Playstation 3 kit - It's high bandwidth, if a little bulky compared to the true phone ones, but handles audio as well as a wired headset, up to around 15 feet after which is starts to fade a bit.
I had it working well on the Nokia, it behaves relativly well on the PC, despite the chassis blocking the dongle back there, but I cannot, CANNOT for the life of me, make it work on the X10 Mini Pro.
It works with VOICE just dandy, with all it's superb range and definition.
But music stubbornly refuses to play through it.
Is this an X10 thing? Is it an Android thing?
I searched a fair bit before posting this, but while people have discussed several bluetooth issues, none of them really seem to address exactly this problem.
Am i missing some awesome (But overlooked by me) app? Am I weird for not wanting to have wires wrapped around me while cycling?
Please help a hopeless n00b!
Dude........
I have the X10 mini and my DELL BH200 headset works great with it.
No problems...
Check if you have kept the headset in discovery mode or not...

It allows you to listen to music through it then? Because thats what I need. Aside from that, mine already works perfectly...
The headset itself syncsby holding the power button for a few seconds, and drops out of sync mode once its linked to the host.
Like I said, the headset works perfectly aside from not playing music. Een while connected, it ONLY plays music from the phone speaker.
Yes you can play music thru bluetooth with any android device. Android is fully A2DP and AVRC compatible.
It must be your headset.
I use three different bluetooth headsets with absolutely no problems. Music, movies you name it. No lag (as I had in my ipod)

Okay, thanks for the replies! I will start trying out other headsets come payday! Being tightfisted I wanted to avoid the necessity but if you guys are having not trouble then it looks like I must bite the bullet.

Hi there - long time lurker, first time poster!
Now, I'm not sure if this is a phone setting issue, an Android issue or my satnav/hands free issue - and sorry if this is a common problem, I did a search on the forums and haven't managed to find anything yet, probably using the wrong key words
So then, I've paired the S3 with my Navigon 70/71 (rebranded as maps & more by Volkswagen) and it works beautifully for streaming music. It connects as soon as I enter the car and holds the signal well!
...however, when I go to make a call from the satnav - it dials the number fine, but plays the audio through the phone earpiece and not the satnav speakers.
Of course, to remedy this I can manually click the headset icon on the phones call screen - but this is far from ideal as it means every time I nip in the car I have to get the phone out, set it to send audio through the bluetooth device and then start my journey. The moment you forget renders the hands free useless and you click answer or dial on the satnav and it plays the audio through the phones earpiece
My old phone used to just allow me to get in the car without a thought, get a surprise phone call, click answer on the satnav and all the conversation would play out through the car speakers without a second thought... can I do this on ICS and the S3? Basically getting it to auto route audio through to the car stereo when connected?
Thanks for your help and sorry if this is the wrong section/covered a million times before..
Hi, ill start off by saying sorry for mispelling, english is not my native language.
I bought this phone about 3 weeks ago and everything is stock and today i bought myself the Jaybird X2 wireless headset.
These two doesnt seem to work togheter, i followed every instruction, ive googled my eyes off today and still no answer.
I manage to connect them, i get the icon in the systembar and i can make phonecalls with them but with TERRIBLE crackling and static noises.
And to use them with media is impossible, with Soundcloud the connection just restart and the sound is at best stuttering ever 0.5 for 1 sec. And with the Stock Music app its about the same (yes ive seen that i can choose media and phone as an option in bluetooth settings, both are ON). EDIT: Its actually making youtube videos stutter too, not only in sound but in general.
I know you guys here are the smartest people when it comes to phones, is there anybody here that know how to fix this?

Just for information I have Jaybird BlueBuds X Bluetooth headset and it works properly with excellent sound. Did you try another BT handset to know if your headset is OK. Try that headset with other phone.

Sorry if anyone has posted this before...
I have a problem and I've been trying to solve it but after months of frustration I have decided to try the experts here. Maybe I someone can help.
I don't know when this all started, but for some reason whenever I connect my phone to my car audio (stock system from Toyota) via Bluetooth I can't use Google voice commands. OK Google gets picked up but after that nothing gets recorded. Just Google waiting for me to say something. I tested SVoice and that works fine, so my only thought is that Samsung has done something.
When I disconnect, the problem persists until I turn Bluetooth off.
I have managed to get it working if I use Google to turn on Bluetooth, but then all phone called go to speaker on the phone. When I connect to Bluetooth to use the steering wheel controls, problem come back.
So, hope that was clear and thanks in advance for any help!
Hello! I've searched everywhere for answers and fixes about my problem, but unfortunetly I didn't find anything.
Problem 1: Since I installed the latest update to Oreo [RNE-L21I 8.0.0.332 (C432)] I have problem with the stock EQ, and others from the Play Store - when bass boost is turned on, the sound from headphones is awful. When bass boost is turned off this issue disappears, but is annoying since I really enjoyed the sound before installing this update. I tried different pairs of headphones, different EQ apps, restarting, Hard resseting, etc. no fix unless I turn off bass boost.
Problem 2: When I connect my phone via AUX cable to my car, home subwoofer or anything like that music play normally for 2-3 mins then somehow volume is turned down (and when I check is turned to the max, so it's not that the volume is turned down to protect the hearing) and the only fix is to get out the cable and insert it again. This is also really annoying, because I can't listen to one song normally. Yes, I tried different cable (like I already said it happens to different devices), hard resseting and etc. And yes, the problem is still on when I use the stock music app, YouTube and other apps, so it's not an issue with the app. I also found out that my dad has the same issue with his Huawei Y5 II.
I really look forward to any fix since I really enjoy this phone, it's been only a month since I bought it and yes, it is in warranty but I want to try anything that I can do to fix this before I send it.
