Bluetooth radio microphone - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
about few months ago, I bought new radio for my car which supports bluetooth calls. Unfortunately, microphone on that radio really sucks and person on the other side can't hear me how quiet this thing is. Since my phone is connected via bluetooth to my radio, is there any way to set up phone that it transfers only output audio to cars radio so I can hear someone over the speaker, but use my phone as main microphone? I'm using Samsung galaxy j6+.
Thank you in advance

Bluetooth is dieing really bad (but a2dp works perfect?)

I started getting problems with my jawbone headset a few days ago and I couldn't understand any calls while using the headset, it would start fine but 2 seconds later the voice from the other side started sounding garbled and digitized and like if it was muffled in static...I also came to a conclusion that the other party cannot hear me while using a bluetooth headset.
I thought at first it was my jawbone and called tech support and they're sending me a new one to replace, but then I tried my Motorola S9 stereo headset and it does the same exact thing while using the phone, however when it switches to A2DP to play audio or sounds it works crystal clear, I can listen to mp3s just fine, but when I take a phone call it's all messed up and I have to turn the headset off and use the phone itself.
I was using dcd 3.2.5 w/ 3.42.30 radio so I thought maybe if I go back to sprint rom it will fix, well I just ran RUU_TITAN_SPRINT_WWE_3.56.651.0_RS_TITAN_3.42.02_SPCS2.04_PPST_0718_Ship.exe and set up bluetooth with 2 different jawbones and I still have the same issue, the radio downgraded to 3.42.02 so its not the radio, rom or bluetooth headset
...my bluetooth radio must be dieing and I guess I need a replacement (good thing I have Sprint TEP), has anyone ever had a similar problem to this? It's really hard driving all day in california watching for cops cuz I cant use my bluetooth (they just passed a new law july 1st 08 that bans cell usage while driving unless its handsfree)

[Q] Voice-calls over aux out in active car charger

I recently purchased the official Samsung Active Holder for my SGS2. Nicely routed the charging cable, then bought a kit to hook up the aux-out of the SGS2-charger to my radio. NICE! Music from my SGS2 through my radio while in the charger! Navigation-instructions as well!
Problem: Voicecalls still play through the phone-speaker :-( (can't hear a damn thing of what the other is saying when going 150 eehrmz 100 Km/h)
Searched somehwat, and several people reported this for several phones, however it seems the problems/solutions are phone-specific as well.
Does anyone know how to get the phonecalls routed through the AUX-out of the charger as well, just like all other audio of the phone?
Does your car have Bluetooth? If so then pair your phone, use bt for voice calls and aux for the rest.
Not sure if Bluetooth affects what happens through aux though...

Unfortunately: No. Used a special box to emulate a cd-charger on my old Renault Tunerlist radio, to get a double tulip in... Bluetooth was just one leap too far ;-)
Ah, I guess I'm just too spoiled with my car's A2DP streaming audio
Maybe you can get one of these?

Or something like that. Pair your phone, slap it on your visor and use that for calls.
That one's just an example, there's a huge selection of these bluetooth car speakers.

[Q] Question about hands free in the car.

Hi there. On my previous Galaxy S I simply had a holder for my car (no electronics) and used the phone's hands free capability whenever I wanted to speak to someone. It was fairly quiet though especially when driving around.
Now that I have a Galaxy S3 with an unlimited data plan I've started using Google Music for my music (instead of my iPod) through the headphone socket into the car stereo. This works fantastically!! I'm also able to get navigation instructions through there too. But when I try to speak to somebody (and I can hear them through the car stereo which is what I wanted), they can barely hear me, unless I pull the headphone jack out of the phone. At which point obviously I go back to using the phone's too-quiet speakerphone.
Is there anyway to have the phone's audio out through the headphone socket and have the mic work? Or maybe get an external mic somehow?
I've also recently bought an Infuse car dock as it's been reported that the S3 fits this perfectly. This provides usb charging and audio out through the dock, however it seems that it's for music/nav only... calls can't be routed through.
Any ways around this? How do you guys do your hands free in the car?
Thanks!
bumpity bump.
i have kind of the same issue....i got teh infuse dock and i have bluetooth handsfree in the car...seems i cant get the audio through the dock while connected to the bluetooth...and if i have it only on the dock sound the mic because it sits when the phone connects to the dock it muffles the sound pickup from us....be great if there was some way to have it all calls through bluetooth and music through the dock!!!
but dont know if thats possible...
also i downloaded "dock sound redirector" which puts calls&Music through the dock DarrenCarnall. if that helps you at all.

I have similar problem.
Phone audio connected to hands free car system and media audio connected to the car radio using a2dp to aux converter.
When i use (stream) the media audio output (internet radio or navigation instructions) the hands free connection drops.
This means, hands free disconnection occurs when streaming music or voice trough the audio media output.
Before i had the HTC one x and there was no problem.
Thanks in advance for your help.

[Q] SII Microphone when connected to car stereo

My wife and I share a car which does not have bluetooth. To make use of hands free we have a cradle and a cable which connects the headphone socket to the input on the car stereo. Conversations are then heard through the car speakers and the phone microphone picks up our voices.
I have an HTC One X and this works fine for me.
My wife has a Samsung SII but when she tries the same setup the microphone seems to be unable to pick up her voice at a reasonable volume - she sounds very quiet and partially muted. I had a look and couldn't find any microphone settings in the OS. I did experiment with a couple of calls and found:
1. With the phone speaker disabled the microphone doesn't pick up very well and the person at the other end of the phone struggles to hear. The sound in the car from the other person is great - via the car stereo.
2. With the phone speaker enabled the microphone work really well and the other person can hear perfectly BUT the sound in the car is directed through the phone speaker and NOT the car stereo.
I checked with my HTC and all I have to do is plug it in and it works perfectly.
Any suggestions as to why this happens with the SII and what I can do about it?

How do you exactly connect the phones to the car?
via Cable or via bluetooth?
If I connect my SII to my car, the microphone of my car is used and my phone only works as transmitter between the phone cell and the car speaker/microphone.
The car does not have Bluetooth, we use a cable.

Getting phone audio through bluetooth without the microphone

Hi, I have an unusual issue that I hope someone can help me with. In my car I have a DAB radio adapter that has bluetooth , and connecting through this device lets me play media and the audio from phone calls on my car's speakers. So far so good.
However, the adapter also has an integrated microphone that is absolute crap, and I'm much better off using the microphone in my Nexus 6P while talking on the phone.
So my question is as follows: How can I get the call audio on bluetooth but avoid using the microphone on the DAB adapter at the same time?
