[Q] Odd bluetooth and speaker problem - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

I have a samsung g-S2 (r-760) and installed the pacman rom along with the ACPverter-v1.0. I set up the rom and everything was fine except the bluetooth and the speaker. The bluetooth I have is a plantronics pro plus. The odd thing is that when I use the bluetooth I can here all my music but when I go to make a call I can not hear anything. The person on the other side can hear me just fine and the speaker does the same thing. If I disconnect the bluetooth and use the phone and select speaker - nothing comes out. The phone works up to your ear. I use odin to go back to stock fk19 and it is still doing this. Like a dummy I did the same thing to my wifes phone thinking it was just mine. Same results. Can anyone point me in the right direction to get this solved.... Thanks in advance.

The speakerphone issue is already a known problem with AOSP-based ROMS. No idea about Bluetooth as I have it working on my end.
It's rather odd how the speaker / bluetooth still is an issue after ODIN back to stock.

I looked at all the others but this is doing something different alltogether. Yes I thought odin would solve the issue but it did not and I have flashed 2 other roms but the issues is still here.

I can't answer such a generic question without more information. First, I'm going to assume you mean the earpiece, not the external. Next, I'm going to assume it's STOCK EC05 rooted. So based on that assumption, you likely don't believe you've done anything to your Epic that would cause this kind of error. Then I'm going to take it that, either your question is rhetorical and you believe you have a hardware issue, or you believe that either EC05 or rooting is the cause and you're asking if anyone has had any similar problem with EC05.
I can say that I don't know of any similar problem with rooting or EC05. But seeing as you don't mention whether you're even stock or custom, or whether this problem arrived before or after you rooted, no one will be able to compare their situation to yours. Please enclose better information. The following are my generic solutions:
1. Download Sound Manager and attempt to tweak hidden sound settings.
2. Flash or re-flash a ROM (as I don't know if you're custom or not to begin with).
3. Odin to stock or stock-rooted EB13.
4. Head to your nearest Sprint repair store.

Same issue
All notification sounds and ringtones play through the earpiece instead of the speaker
I had the issue on stock rom figured rooting would fix it.
It did for a couple days and then everything went back to playing through the earpieces as if I was on the phone.
I use a bluetooth car kit often and Im wondering if that has anything to do with it
There may be a simple fix for you. This has happened to me a few times when I have plugged up my Epic to wired headphones. Something about disconnecting can sometimes cause the phone to think it is still outputting sound to the headphones, so you cannot hear sound anymore . . . even with a restart. A simple fix is just to plug in a headphone jack again and remove again. This has fixed this issue for me numerous times.
Lost my sound today
Took the above advise and plugged in a wired headset then unplugged. Worked like a charm...for about 2 hours...then happened again. No matter what I try now, cant get sound again.
B4 u ask:
Been CleanGB/BML w/o any mods or themes for long time.
Havent installed any new apps in days.
No OC/UV
Sounds are fine in wired headset
BT works.
Cleared DV cache and reboot > no fix
ODIN'ed stock EC05 > no fix
---this tells me its not the os, but why did it work after plug/unplug headset?
Yes, Sprint store just down the street, but I love a challenge Anyone?
Same problem. Works fine if I plug in an audio out. But did ring for instant messages for about a day. So speaker does work. Wonder if I should go with the kernel that was orginally flashed with cm9?

There are two different issues being reported here.
One being, sounds come out of the ear piece and not the speaker (e.g. ring tone during incoming call can be heard with phone up to your head).
The other being no sound at all, unless you connect to the headphone jack.
The latter I would suspect to be a HW problem (loose internal speaker connection maybe?).
The former would be an audio routing issue I've experienced myself (usually related to BT, speaker-phone, etc).
A simple reboot should fix the routing issue (has for me a few times).

If u Odin back to stock and it still doesn't work then its probly hardware. I tried everything thinking it was sw but ended up replacing the speaker.

I have the exact same issue, if I plug in headphones it will work through speaker, nothing connected it thinks headphones are connected. I have to jam a eyelet from my shoes in there, and connect it to bluetooth to hear audio...
So I ain't the only one...
Went back to stock, same difference, nothing I know will correct it...

This is a known phenomenon I've seen a thread here before where the headphones are reversed... like it think the headphones are plugged in when they aren't.... dunno what causes it but its certainly not too abnormal.

Constantly losing Bluetooth when A2DP triggers

I have a Bluetooth headset that supports A2DP. All notifications and media play through it automatically, which I very much like. It worked perfectly on my OG Epic 4G, but on the Touch I've had constant issues where somewhere around 25% of the time that my phone sends it something via A2DP (usually a notification sound) my Bluetooth will disconnect, I'll hear its disconnect sound, then I'll have to wait a couple of seconds to hear it reconnect, which it succeeds at roughly 80% of the time. Otherwise I have to turn it off and back on to get it to connect.
Anyone else experience the same with theirs? Any thoughts on a cause/solution?
Are you rooted? What ROM are you running?

While I am now rooted, but otherwise stock, this problem has occurred since day one. It's not related to any customizations.
Am I REALLY the only one experiencing this? Seems surprising.
No. I thought it was my headset, and I was about to replace it.

All right, so we've got one more person with the same issue. Now if only we had some extra thoughts on a solution, or a line on this being something Samsung is aware of.
Since this got moved I'm not sure if it's been seen in this forum. Anyone got any thoughts? Similar experience? Idea of if there's a possible fix?
I'm have a problem playing bluetooth audio through my factory stereo
I'm have a problem playing bluetooth audio through my factory stereo, which worked flawless with the EVO. This is a show stopper for me because I travel a lot and listen to podcasts in my car. Since I got the E4GT I have been unable to stream BT audio.
I wouldn't be at all surprised to find out this is related to the same SoundPool bug that causes a lot of games to crash on the E4GT. I have no further info to help you, unfortunately; you can Google around about that. The short version is that that if it IS another symptom of that same bug, there's probably no fix.
I have a tiny Bluetooth USB jig that I plug into my laptop and my music plays fine through my laptop. I will test it out over a longer period of time tomorrow but so far its been great..

Bluetooth - not using BT Mic

Hi,
I've had A2DP working on my in-car audio for a while now - but it seems not to work with the mic anymore. It uses the phone mic instead of the headunit one.
Does anyone know if there's anything I can alter to force it to use the BT one, or is it likely ROM/Kernel/Radio specific?
FWIW I'm running the latest Modaco ROM with franco milestone 4.
Thanks
Make sure you have phone checked in the Bluetooth settings.

Yep, both phone and media are ticked.
I have been having the same issue ever since I upgraded to JB. When I make phone calls through my car stereo the sound comes out of the speakers fine but it wont use the stereo microphone it keeps using the phone mic.
Does anyone know of a fix for this?

I'm having a similar problem, my GN connects to my car (or my BT speaker or headset) and shows connected on both the device and the GN. But it doesn't use the device even if it appears it should. I'm just running the latest JB image, and everything worked fine yesterday. I've rebooted, I've unpaired, now I need some more suggestions!
Thanks in advance!

I reloaded the latest image of JB to my phone and now the BT is back to working correctly. I'm thinking the DockStation app for my Philips dock caused the issue, but can't confirm.

Different bluetooth stack?

Hi everyone,
The bluetooth on my GSIII has been a complete failure. You can follow the saga here (http://www.benzworld.org/forums/w245-b-class/1662643-2009-w245-samsung-galaxy-s-iii.html), but basically it connects to my car and has no sound with the stock ROM and refuses to connect to the car at all with the AOKP JB build. It suggests an android problem, so I'm wondering if the bluetooth stack can be reloaded to reflashed with something different. If anyone has any ideas, I'm all ears. Thank you!
I have a problem with one of my Bluetooth devices dropping and reconnecting. Not sure why is just one. It works fine on an iPhone. I'm guessing your GS3 isn't the international version?

Update: no change with the new kernel. The phones pairs but there's no sound, just as was the case before.

Try CM9. Bluetooth works much better with it. CM10 should have it fixed as well in a day or two.
Here's a 'six months later' update. My phone went through various android updates and I'm now on Android 4.1.1 (up from 4.0.4). The problem was still not solved, but instead of no audio, I now have one way audio, where people hear me but I don't hear them through bluetooth. I have also gone through a number of custom ROMs and kernels for my phone (including CM9/10 and AOKP) and nothing helped with the issue.
A couple of days ago, my girlfriend's HTC One X (finally!) got its Android update, also from 4.0.4 to 4.1.1. Her phone now works like a charm with the in-car bluetooth.
The solution I ended up with was a car cradle and a couple of NFC tags to control my phone in the car. My NFC tag that's stuck to my car cradle turns off WiFi, starts car mode, starts a car home app and turns my volume to max. All I have to do after that is connect the 3.5mm audio cable and I use my phone in place of the car's infotainment system. That way the phone integrates into the car as well and the only thing I lose are the steering wheel controls (they still work for volume).
My less technologically inclined girlfriend now has everything work auto-magicallly with bluetooth. So I guess all's well that ends well, but to anyone considering a US-spec Galaxy S III, watch out: the bluetooth issue is still not fixed. If bluetooth is critical, consider the HTC One X (but be warned: it has awful battery life!)
I have no issues with stereo Bluetooth and mono Bluetooth. Everything and everyone hears and plays fine. It might be an issue with your headset.

Colby. What version of android, kernel / rom combo are you using?? There's SOOO many people having problems with JB and bluetooth, regardless of rom or kernel setup.
If you're on stock... just nm then.

What's wrong with stock? I have no major issues with streaming BT from my phone to my Mazda 3 head unit, or to my Sony MW600 earphones. Even track titles work (the only thing that doesn't work is time display). In my experience, Bluetooth works best on the stock ROM.
Stock Rogers ROM (DLK4 - JB 4.1.1), rooted
KT747 (1/9/2013) kernel
CWM Recovery 6.0.2.3
PlayerPro Music Player
On my old Xperia X10, I had CM7 and had no end of issues with BT:
- Sometimes it would connect and there would be no sound
- Sometimes it wouldn't connect at all
- Sometimes it would cut out after switching songs
- It would stutter a lot whenever Wi-Fi was enabled (but I think that was a problem with the Xperia).
When I tried CM10.0 on my S3 I had similar connection issues, just not as bad. Also, the volume gain over BT was much lower, so I had to turn the car speakers way up. Stock 4.1.1 doesn't have any of these problems. The only problem I had was the audio switching over to speaker after turning off the car, but I fixed it.
Also, BT is apparently broken in 4.2.1 in general, not just CM10.1. Google confirmed a BT patch that works on the Nexus 7, due for release with 4.2.2: http://www.expertreviews.co.uk/smar...confirms-android-4-2-bluetooth-streaming-flaw
TIP: Don't forget to turn up the volume on your phone. I don't know how many times I accidentally turned down the volume and thought that it wasn't working. Now I have Tasker do it for me whenever I connect. :good:
4.1.2 has Bluetooth working use it everyday. (Stock and ROM.) Can't tell u which combo I use at a time. I flash a different ROM everyday. As 4.2.1bluetooth is broken expect for task's AOKP. He has it workingish.
Now as connecting to a car. Depends on what it connects as. And I've learned going to and from ROMs when u connect a source hit the volume up 9/10 times it works

Weird noise on other side of line when using headset

Hi all,
Whenever I'm on a call with someone and am using a wired headset, the person on the other end complains about a weird noise. So I called one of those line test numbers and sure enough I heard the noise when it's played back to me. I don't hear the noise when I'm using the phone's microphone, only a headset's. I've tried using 3 different headsets and all have the same issue. I've used these headsets with other phones without issues as well. I'm on T-mobile if that makes a difference.
Have anyone encountered this issue and is there a solution for this?
Thanks!
I've had this issue with one headset. When using my Bluetooth headset no issues, when using a third wired headset no issues.

I'm using stock OOS 3.2.1. I reproduced the issue using a recording app. But sometimes the noise doesn't happen but I haven't figure out under what circumstances.

I found if I put my OPT into airplane mode then the noise disappears. Maybe there's some interference from the antenna.

Okay I tracked down the culprit. When NFC is on, I get the weird noise. But when I turn it off, it's gone.
Hi,
I have the same problem too, but as mrhaowu said, it can be fixed by turning the NFC off. Anyways, hope this gets fixed soon in next updates.
Thanks for your help mrhaowu !
Same topic on another thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/help/strange-bug-rhythmic-disturbance-call-t3417017
Same problem here.
Used many earphones but same issue. The listener on other side of call complains abouts strange noise made during the call while using earphones. Should i send OP3 for repair? Did you get any solution?
Fixed
The problem is solved. All you have to do is switch-off your nfc "Settings>More>NFC". I realise it's a workaround but it solved the problem for me. There have been updates after that though. Figured it must have been solved, I guess not. Anyway try this out (turning off nfc), that should do the trick.
Is there any other solution?
My Nfc is off by default.. and this problem persists. Please suggest.:crying:
