Bluetooth headset switches to handset mode when another call comes in. .. - Samsung Galaxy Alpha

I just got my alpha 850m and noticed that if I'm on a call using my stock car bluetooth speaker, when a another call comes in, the phone switches to handset mode. I have to now pick up my phone and switch it back to bluetooth mode to get the sound to come back thru my car speaker. My S4 never had a problem.
Anyone else see this problem?
Any ideas? I think it is a software bug.

[Q] How to do SW disconnect of headset

Hi Guys,
i have problem with my sgs2... few weeks ago i've damaged my phone by pluging headphones jack to soundboard with phantom (48V) turned on...
So now my phone thinks that the headset is connected all the time and when i make a call, sound and mic is going thru headset even if its unpluged, so i can't hear anything from speakr and microphone is turned of...
Now i'm running on CM9 experimental build - so i can't use app toggleheadset2 like before on CM7.
Is there any way to do software headset "unplug", e.g. to use terminal to route signal thru phone speaker and mic?
Thx

[Q] Phone sends noise via A2DB

Hello,
I've got a strange problem.
I connect the phone with my A2DP receiver in my car. The car audio has the function to switch automaticly to source A2DP if there is a signal.
On first connect everything works fine, bun on reconnect (leave the car, come back and reconnect) the phone sends a very low noise so that the car audio switches to A2DP.
There is no player running on the phone.
Samsung voice to go and vlingo or similar are not installed (I hear the same noise when vlingo is in listening mode).
When I start a player, start music and stop again, the noise is gone and the car audio swiches back to radio.
If I use a MW600 instead I can hear the noise too, when I turn the volume up.
I had the issue with Stock KI4 and now with CheckROM V6 too.
Did someone noticed this noise too? I there something I can do?
thanks
Andre

[Q] note bluetooth with parrot and car dock

There seems to be some options missing with the notes Bluetooth, on my nexus one and galaxy nexus i was able to select using my parrot in car Bluetooth for phone calls only and disable anything else, with the note there is no such option.
my car has Dolby surround factory stereo so i have the parrot hooked up to the center channel speaker for phone calls, when a call comes in it disconnects the stereo from that speaker and uses it for hands free. it has always worked out great, till the note that is.
now as soon as i plug the note into the samsung car dock my center channel is always on from the parrot, it also often sends noises through it, like you get when your cell is to close to a cheap set of computer speakers, that data cell switching noise, its very loud and annoying.
again this has never been a problem with my other android devises, they all had a way to switch it to phone calls only.

Does the Parrot work correctly when you only have it connected to the Note via Bluetooth? What Parrot kit do you have and what software version is on it?
ya, it works fine, it is just always on, where as other phones it only cuts out my speaker when it has something to say, like phone call, navigation turn upcoming, stuff like that. i am going to try updating the software, but i really don't see how it will help, its the samsung car dock app that is holding the connection open..
when i look at bluetooth options on other android devices for the parrot pairing, i see 2 things, phone and media, so i can uncheck the media part and only phone calls will go through it. but the note only has one.
maybe the upcoming ICS will have better options.
its a 3200 LS color
When I first started using the samsung car dock, it would connect my phone to the sync bluetooth, and show my in a phone call. All I got was sounds from the phone, till I hit the end call on sync. I got it to stop by going into the voice talk settings and I shut off the auto start speaker, listen via bluetooth, and launch on bluetooth.

Phone call - switch bluetooth on the fly?

I thought this was fixed in JB, but I guess not.
I've got my GS4 paired with both the car and my Jawbra headset. All works fine in either scenario, but occasionally I'm on a call using my car BT and want to switch to my headset, or visa verse. Isn't there a way to just click a button/option in phone and switch the device? Anyone found an App for that (I've been searching for hours).
I'm hoping that I'm just missing something, but I've been trying to Google and search these forums to no avail.
I can't try it but what can't you just press the headset button in the midcall menu?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That sounds like a great idea, I would love it if it worked that way. But the phone get's itself "paired and connected" to the car, and it is not connected to the Jawbone. The only thing I found to change it during the call is to turn off bluetooth, which forces a pickup on the handset. I suppoose I could try to turn BT back on, and get it to connect to the Jawbone, but that's no practical while driving and trying to pay attention to a phone conversation.
A simple pop-up with "connect to Jawbone" or "connect to car" would be nice during the call.
If you just want to you your headset to take calls and your car bt for audio, try deselecting "phone" in your bt device options on the phone.
Also I think this issue is more with the Samsung phone then with Android. My Nexus 4 was able to do just this and also allow me to take calls on my bt headset while my phone was plugged into the aux jack in my car.

[Q] Phone calling issues

Hi,
I have an S4 running CM 10.1-20130728-Nightly. When I connect to BT and a call comes in and I switch to speaking with the phone, the person I am talking to can never hear me. I have to switch my BT off for my phone microphone to work.
On a side note my BT connection is not good at all, that is why I switch to the phone speaker when a call comes in. The person I am speaking to through BT can never hear me without tons of static. It also cuts off while playing music.
My main concern is my phone microphone being affected when trying to talk on the phone while listening to music through BT.
Is this CM or my S4?
Please help, I love CM and would hate to have to switch.
Thanks,
Steve
