Phone turns bluetooth microphone and speaker off, bt stays on - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello Everyone.
A recent problem, no new software, no updates, I've done a search, both here and on the internet, no solution I can find;
zte zmax, z970 metro pcs, 4.4.4 no root
Started a few days ago, when using bluetooth to make a call, the call goes through, bluetooth stays on, but the phone defaults to phone mic and speaker
I know bluetooth is still on as I can still end the call through bluetooth
To get the bluetooth re-engaged while on the call, I have to toggle in the phone applet, bluetooth icon to speaker on, and then back to bluetooth.
I think this started with a google update, but I did go back to the stock app and it didn't solve the problem
When I go into safe mode bluetooth works as it should.
I've uninstalled the only program that accesses bluetooth settings, (which was torque).
It just feels like this is a phone setting and not a glitch, I can hear the phone actually turn off the microphone. I've cleared the cache of all data, and I tried clearing the cache of bluetooth.
Hope someone can steer me in the right direction, thanks in advance

surprised how little support this forum now gives, I see other blue tooth problems without one post in response.
Anyway, I figured if my post was anything like most people with problems, I wouldn't get anyone offering ideas so I did a factory reset.
For anyone else, if you come up with a solution, go ahead and post for other peeps, this is a common problem around the internet but nobody has an answer yet

"Wired microphone headset" notification stuck on = can't hear phone

Hmm, this is weird. Phone wakes up this morning with "wired microphone headset" notification on when I've never even plugged in said piece of kit. Now I can't hear any notifications or even calls because they're all "going" to the invisible headpiece.
Can't find anything in the settings to change this - have rebooted but still no change. Don't want to do a reset because I did one a couple of weeks ago to do the FW 2.63 upgrade.
Anyone else had this? Any ideas on a fix?
TIA

I have the same problem with you...the solution to my case is simple.plug the original headset gently in the jack,not full way,just a little,shake it a little bit,and when you see the microphone symbol in the screen disappear just unplug it.and here you go.if this method doesn't work in your case I heard of an app witch do the trick.works as a widget like the WiFi and Bluetooth widgets do.turn off microphone with headset - turn on.
I hope I helped.

I don't know what's happened in the last couple of days but the icon has removed itself and the sound is now back to normal. Haven't yet plugged the hp back in so I'll bear in mind what you say if it plays up again.

[Q] Sound problem (all sounds coming from earpiece)

A serious problem with my device is that sound(phone ringing, music and everything is comming from earpiece instead of speaker) this makes impossible to hear the phone ringing, ive reset the phone to factory settings and reverted user apps still the same. I know the speaker is not faulty because when i restart phone it works for several minutes, the sound may come back without restarting if i kill all procesess.
I suspect the problem is with an applicaton installed but i have so many, can anyone advice how to find out what is causing the problem.
I have SGS2 with stock 2.3.4 fimware,
please...thank you in advance
Wanted help, but now i will return help.
The solution is to uninstall "Mobile Voip" application which was causing this issue
Damn application, took so much to find out whats causing this.

[Q] Truesmart: No Sound and mic has stopped work

Hi
I've recently got one of the EU 1/8 Omate Truesmart watches. To start with it was fine, but after realizing I had missed some calls yesterday I realized that the watch made no sounds and the mic wasn't working either when I made some test phone calls. The vibrate does still work. I've changed the Modes in the Audio Profile but that doesn't seem to have made a difference.
Has anyone else had these problems?
I suspect the mic and speaker are in different parts of the watch, so I'm guessing its a software issue rather than something has shaken loose. I tried to work out how to reset the watch, but so far I haven't worked out how to do that (I haven't patched it yet, so it still has the original version of the firmware etc).
Thanks for any assistance
Somehow I managed to get the sound and mic working again . The last thing I was trying was to turn the watch off and on repeatedly, pressing or holding the two buttons down while it booted. One of the other posts suggested that I could get to a menu to reset the watch this way. Whilst I never saw a menu, on one occasion it did take longer to boot than normal (a few extra seconds) so I may have selected an option with out realising.
I've been reading here for months waiting for my TS to arrive and today it has!
I quickly found that all sound and mic was not working and my heart sank. But reading this question and the poster's own reply, and a hint from elsewhere, I turned off "fast boot" in the accessibility menu, shut down and restarted, and hey presto, sound input and output works fine. The "fast boot off" setting seems to be required in order to make the device really reboot.
Many, many thanks to all here who have been contributing to the knowledge base on this device. Hopefully I can now contribute, if only from the point of view of a non-expert man-in-the-street end user, from time to time.

The mic of the headset (in a call) switches off when the screen goes off

Hi guys,
I know that someone with some deep knowledge can help with this problem.
I discovered that when I start a call with plugged in headset, and then I switch off the screen, the mic gets lost completely.
The same doesn't happen to the the mic if the headset is not in at all.
However if I start the call without a headset, but if I plug it afterwards and continue the call, then even switching off the screen does not stop the mic.
This behavior started for sometimes now and I am not sure what caused it. I cannot remember or find any relevant setting that may be the cause of this faulty behavior.
My phone (LG G3) is rooted, I use Xposed with some modules and additional tools, so it is possible that somehow I disabled or changed something unintentionally.
Can someone help with an useful advice?
Thank you very much in advance for the reasonable advises and hints!
I think I found the bug myself.
I switched off "Ok, Google" detection and it looks the issue is solved:
Settings-> Google-> Search & Now-> Voice->"Ok Google" detection-> Turn all settings off.

Cant hear the caller

Hi
I had my phone back from service some weeks ago where the amongst others switch my battery, but now I have problem with hearing the person who´s calling me(also had problem with bluetooth not wanting to turn on, thats fixed after Factory reset. Also have problems with connection to Sony bridge for mac and Xperia Companion). At first the phone where not able to make phone calls (took a long time and it never connected), but then I could receive and make calls, but I could not hear anything, just some bits hear and there, always breaking up and mostly not hearing anything at all. Did a factory reset and thought I fixed it but unfortunately not. I tested it a bit and it seems like the main issue is when I receive calls, they can hear me but I mostly can not hear them at all (just sometimes it breaks up a word here and there but mostly not). If i but speaker on I can hear the person calling me with no problem. Seems to work fine when I make the calls also(but Ive had the same problem there too, so not sure what the status is there right now).
I have tried:
- Factory reset
- Safe mode (same problem when in safe mode)
- Repair in Xperia Companion
- Checked speakers in Settings menu for diagnostics on the phone, no problems found.
- Checked speakers in Service/test menu (*#*#7378423#*#*), no problems found.
Does anyone have any tips or is the only solution to send it back for service?
J had this problem too in october ans finally Sony Will give me a new phone
