I have my earpiece paired... I would like to be able to map - push the button on the side of the earpiece to activate the voice dialer... and then when finished another push would end the call.

Anyone else having an issue with a bluetooth headset cutting out on the Evo. It started on a call and got so bad I ha to switch to the handset. it also did it playing MP3s right off the phone. This was a $90 motorola unit. So I took it back and picked up a nice Jabra for about $80 (just showing these aren't cheap units). I have not used the Jabra for a call yet, but the music cuts in and out for a few seconds every minute or so. Phone was in the holster on my hip so it wasn't a distance issue, the music is stored on the phone so it isn't a bandwidth thing.
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy Plantronics BT earpiece has been working flawlessly the last several years but all of the sudden I have been having issues with it when used with the Droid. What is the BT earpiece of choice that seems to work well with the Droid? For some reason, people say they couldn't hear me (as if the BT muted itself out on its on); Its been disconnecting itself from the phone but it still shows its connected in the Notification window. Today it kept going from BT to phone and vice versa in the middle of a call! I was like the what in the world is going on! LOL! It has a good charge so I know thats not the issue. Maybe its time for a new BT earpiece! What should I consider?
View 8 Replies View RelatedNot as obvious as you might think. Hubby is deaf on one side, and is looking for a music/phone bluetooth headset.
I don't really mean a headset, i guess i mean an ear piece.
Probably going to be used mostly for music, so good controls and sound quality is most important.
First, my specs: I have an HTC Evo 4G LTE, software, firmware is current. I am using a Plantronics M50 earpiece. The problem: I have it in a Sprint car dock while driving and I make a couple calls on my way home from work using my Bluetooth. It started about 2-3 wks ago. I'll start a call and while the phone is ringing on the other end, it goes silent in my ear and I can hear it through the normal ear speaker on the phone (speakerphone doesn't kick on). I have to turn my Bluetooth off then on again to re-establish a connection. Then it stays on through the call. It happens when I answer a call as well. Happens when not in the car dock too. It doesn't do it twice in the same call, after reconnecting the Bluetooth, the call stays connected. I have already unpaired the Bluetooth and did a simulated battery pull (battery is not removable) and hard reset to clear data then pair it up again, but it still does it. I have a feeling that it's not the Bluetooth, but something in the Bluetooth software in my EVOLTE.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHow is Bluetooth audio quality with your Evo? I'm using a Jabra Extreme earpiece and am experiencing poor audio quality. One person with whom I was speaking said that I sounded like I was running or was in a windy location (I was calling from a quiet hotel room). On my end there was noticeable static. As a test, I hung up and paired the Jabra with my Blackberry 8830, and the person with whom I was speaking said that I sounded a little distant, but otherwise clear. On my end, the audio quality was good.
View 3 Replies View RelatedWe have tried everything to get a bluetooth earpiece to work with the HTC Droid. The only thing that works is answering a call and the quality is questionable.
You cannot use voice dialing at all. Last call redial doesn't work. Nothing that we have come to take for granted on cell phones for years works. If a 3 year old Motorola flip can do it, it can't be that hard.
Anyone have any idea if this is going to get fixed in the next release? I didn't find it even described in the release for December 11th.
Is there a setting or an app to better control what sound goes to my Bluetooth headset? I've got a Jabra Extreme, but I've not been able to find a method to have just voice go out.
Frequently I'll be in the car, and even when I have the Incredible plugged into my car stereo, it still puts music out through my Bluetooth connection and not the headphone jack. Under Bluetooth settings it says "Jabra Extreme Connected to phone and media audio", but there doesnt seem to be a way to say no no bad droid, phone only.
This seems to be the exact opposite problem all the posts I found searching had
The Donut VoiceDialer is far from ideal for in-car use because it requires users to confirm their selection by tapping on the screen. My idea is to enhance it so that it can be hands-free from start to finish.I was looking at VoiceDialerActivity.java and the most interesting part is the function onRecognitionSuccess(), which starts at line 383.We could modify it so that if there is more than one item, it reads the items out loud and then does another recognition cycle among those items.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI know I'm not the only one with this issue, but it looks like the red ear piece gets funked up pretty easily. At first I thought it was just a lint trap, but I think it might be a mix of lint and ear skin/oil. Has anyone found any ways to clean that out?

Anyone else notice that their speaker phone sounds better then if they are not on speaker phone?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a recently purchased Incredible (about 3 weeks) and within the last week the red earpiece on the phone has developed a very severe buzzing noise. Seems whomever I speak with can hear me fine, I just can't understand them. This hasn't been frequent but it is increasing. One day I had an ear shattering high-pitch noise that pretty much stopped all calls and I had to power down the phone. Could this be hardware or software related?

View 25 Replies View RelatedI was looking at the bluetooth settings on the Evo, and it has an FTP server option that can be checked. Not sure how it works, but it sure sounds like it may be possible to set it up to just easily drag and drop files to the SD card from a computer over bluetooth, but maybe I'm missing something?
View 11 Replies View RelatedI just upgraded my N4 to 4.4.1 and now when I get in my VW GTI it starts auto-playing music in my pocket. This issue has always existed for me with multiple nexus devices on different versions of android but I was always to eliminate this issue by unchecking media playback in the bluetooth settings confining its use to only phone connectivity. This setting has often reset when I receive an update so I headed back into the bluetooth settings to turn off media playback only to find that it no longer exists.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWith the HTC Desire, is there any way of setting up a bluetooth connection to connect automatically, eg hands free kit in a car or do you have to manually connect each time?
View 1 Replies View RelatedSo I have the full version. I looked around and didn't see an answer. First off, I can't find a contact for the dev, or a FAQ on how to use it. I have had it for a few months and everything is great, but now when I am on the phone in the car on the dock and on my BT, I unclip the phone and it should change to my profile that still has the BT enabled. For some reason, my call screen is still blue (BT), but the handset engages and the bluetooth cuts out.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have been researching for some time now, but have yet to come up with an actual fix. I have my Incredible paired with my Altima and can make calls via Bluetooth with no problem. My question is, how can I wirelessly stream music or Pandora from my phone to my car (Altima does not have an aux jack). I know my car is capable because I was able to do this with my old Blackberry (exactly how I don't remember, it was an intricate process of pressing random buttons).

View 1 Replies View RelatedI currently have code that reads a recording in from the devices mic using the AudioRecord class and then playing it back out using the AudioTrack class.My problem is that when I play it out it plays vis the speaker phone.I want it to play out via the ear piece on the device.Here is my code:public class LoopProg extends Activity {
boolean isRecording; //currently not used
AudioManager am;
int count = 0;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
am = (AudioManager) getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
am.setMicrophoneMute(true);
while(count <= 1000000){
Record record = new Record();
record.run();
count ++;
Log.d("COUNT", "Count is : " + count);
public class Record extends Thread
{ static final int bufferSize = 200000;
final short[] buffer = new short[bufferSize];
short[] readBuffer = new short[bufferSize];
public void run() {
isRecording = true;
android.os.Process.setThreadPriority

Log.d("SPEAKERPHONE", "Is speakerphone on? : " + am.isSpeakerphoneOn());
am.setSpeakerphoneOn(false);
Log.d("SPEAKERPHONE", "Is speakerphone on? : " + am.isSpeakerphoneOn());
atrack.setPlaybackRate(11025);
byte[] buffer = new byte[buffersize];
arec.startRecording();
atrack.play();
while(isRecording) {
arec.read(buffer, 0, buffersize);
atrack.write(buffer, 0, buffer.length);
arec.stop();
atrack.stop();
isRecording = false;
As you can see if the code I have tried using the AudioManager class and its methods including the deprecated setRouting method and nothing works, the setSpeatPoneOn method seems to have no effect at all, neither does the routing method.Has anyone got any ideas on how to get it to play via the earpiece instead of the spaker phone?
I literally just got a refurb eris today and when I went to make a phone call I could hear nothing through the earpiece and the person on the other end couldn't hear anything I said. This seems to be a version of the silent-call bug but this time I can hold a conversation with speakerphone and they can hear me, but when it's just through the earpiece like normal both parties get silence. Since this is a fresh refurb could someone with the OTA post their software data so I could compare it to what I have, I think I found one earlier while screwing around and it looked like it matched but now I want to double check.

Coming from a blackberry, I REALLY like the "phone calls only" setting. It meant that I didn't have to hear alerts all night for emails and text, but if someone called me I would know. is there a similar setting, or at least an app, that provides this function? I think it's a good idea for those of us who don't have a land line, and dont want to hear alerts all night but forget to take off silent in the morning.
